Indymedia UK was a network of individuals,
independent and alternative media activists and organisations,
offering grassroots, non-corporate, non-commercial coverage of
important social and political issues.

 

Independent media? I don't buy it.

It seems any criticism of indymedia.uk has the same effect .

pulled...

sad the level of intelligence these people have...isn't it...?

Stalinistic...authoritarian

they say that the site hopes to promote alternative and anarchistic viewpoints...

really?

also funny how the concept of 'globalisation' has been hijacked by the neo-liberals [consumers] who cannot accept that the whole process of 'globalisation' is being run by a corporatist CARTEL which is by definition a conspiracy

...this is where the cognitive dissonance begins...

they are so scared of being thought of as a whacko as they sit on the sofa in their 'Friends set' of a Bar in Islington... that they can't think straight anymore

so while not wanting to appear like a whacko,
they call anyone who disagrees with their party line, a nut...
which is exactly the same way the Cartel owned mainstream media treats them!

...and it makes them feel good, y'know : ALTERNATIVE...DIFFERENT...

The stereotypical veggie white dread...in his VW camper going to festivals and living off daddies money...parodied years ago as the two sons in the TV show Butterflies.

Little do these people suspect that anti-globalisation has become a recognized 'fashion' . And that the 'Camdenites' et al - are a whole market...to be advertised and sold to...and directed.

The stupid cartoon reality of liking scooby doo 'cos your on pot, maaan!'

They screened Tom & Jerry to the US soldiers in WWII & Korea, because they were KIDS!

Look at how many bank adverts on telly have dancing animated childish colorful imagery...

Advertising culture, under the guise of eclectisism and Post-modernism...wraps it's products in vague drug references.

Special effects morph gently behind every TV news report...and take up most of the running time on Hollywood [in] Blockbusters.

It's all just for you, dear alternative culture...

You're making them rich...

luckily many have studied the rise of beatnik culture, love, hippies and the strange coincidence of LSD being 'leaked into' and 'discovered' by U.S. 60's underground society...which helped stifle legitimate protest all steered along with operations such as FBI co-intelpro agent infiltration, and the CIA drug smuggling

They murdered Malcom X, Martin Luther King, John Lennon & many more.

It is a belief engine...a cultural Hijacking. A brainwashing tool for marketing a lifestyle

While it's true a chosen few, took drugs and used them to enhance their reality...

The Stones were rivalled against The Beatles, much the same as Oasis versus Blur in the cultural vacuum of the disgrace that was Brit-pop.

Do you think William Burroughs could cut it now...
What about Joy Division?

a homogenised, ruined dream...was part of the plan

"they're selling hippy wigs in Woolworths, man" [Withnail & I]

an MK SOCIETY experiment...in diversion... in psychological-economic warfare

They did it with the Eastern Block...Unions, anti-nuclear protesters, militants, and now anything 'Alternative', anything which threatens the empire...anything 'AUTONOMOUS' is targetted...

it is still going on...

Glastonbury being a prime example of the Cartel induced alternative culturing of reality: an overpriced extorrtion circus of mediocrity herded into areas surrounded by a wall of security.

I discovered that the 90's summer of love, wasn't all inclusive.

It was Cliquey & distorted...

I was around when Acid & E culture bared itself as the Gangster ridden, corrupt mindfuck which it really was...

I watched as Yardies in Stoke Newington, posed and gunned down each other for a quick quid...Under a police force that was dealing Heroin

I was there at Camelford in the early 90's, when the police switched the clean water supply off... and the E dealers, selling beers and bottled water from the back of their overloaded Ford Fiestas put their prices up...!

I wonder what the 60's were really like? much the same I suspect.

Conspiracy sites make more & more effort to sell us books and tapes than to try and reach a kind of truth, or encourage anyone to break free. They have become fodder for viral marketing. Instead of lapping up redigested news, try finding out about how the corporate Cartel works...and who runs it...The internet IS media.

Examine it all...in order to examine yourself

f**k 'em...

never give up

re-invent yourself...

this was originally posted here
for more censored stories go to flamesong

Update: April 1st 2005 and this is NO joke....

now indymedia is definitely suspect

Caution this site is regularly monitored by spooks acting as trolls and mediators
view all posts
originally posts were hidden if they were just plain offensive: Then the hidden material included anything with a 9-11/NWO/illuminati theme
and now the censoring has come to include media criticism and awareness of the UK police state
Question: are they really still reeling after the FBI took their servers or have they been infiltrated?

unbelievable!!! or maybe not considering the FBI-s tactics

Article on Gladio - The NATO based causing of terrorism to blame left wing groups - The Euro-cointelpro [including link to this author research] has been hidden

It is imperitive that any anti-fascist researcher look into this subject

brought to our attention by Danbert from Chumbawumba [thanks]

imc-uk-process archives track how much censorship is going on

so...why are some postings hidden?

In the editorial guidelines for Indymedia it states:

articles and/or comments may be hidden for the following reasons:

Repeated : content that is reposted or text that was originally a comment posted as a report.

Non-news : posts which are clearly purely comment, opinion or rants unrelated to a recent event or action etc.

Discrimination : posts using language, imagery, or other forms of communication promoting racism, fascism, xenophobia, sexism or any other form of discrimination.

Inaccurate : posts that are inaccurate or misleading.

Advertising : posts with personal or product promotions.

Hierarchy : The newswire is designed to generate a news resource, not a notice-board for political parties or any other hierarchically structured organizations.

Disruptive : Contributions by individuals who habitually publish above mentioned discouraged content. Posts where topical or regional selections disrupts the utility of the sub pages (ie spamming regional and topic selections).

Reposts : Articles that are simply pasted from corporate news sites. Please write something original, by all means link to articles elsewhere and quote from them but don't just copy them.

So am i to beleive that the article breaks the guidelines because it was not an original article - simply cut and pasted?

Or is it because it is an opinion piece?

"Please write something original!" -the guidelines state....

so how can someone hope to write an original piece without it being opinion?

How does an original piece qualify as an article?

How do you link to an original article by yourself or the webpage/site it came from without it becoming advertising or self-promotion?

HEY!! I'M CONFUSED!!!!

AND THAT MY LITTLE DARLINGS IS PRECISELY THE POINT...

These guidelines seek to stop original independant publishing!

which is a neat trick for a site called Indymedia

CREATE CONFUSUION

DIVIDE & RULE!!! It's an operation...

This author recently signed up to Libertypost a varied and weird forum

after posting a few articles and having been discovered by some members [unfortunatley some of whom are a little unpalatable - re the Dov Zackheim situation]

but after getting good coverage from Rense and David Ickes headline page

my posting privelidges have been rescinded!!!

what the fuck???

how deep does it go....? all the way

The independence of the internet is fast becoming a myth perpetuated by those who are buying up servers ISP's and placing new laws on anyone who wishes to run anarchistic / militant/ free thought forum

it all seems sadly too familiar to me, as a musician whos only real outlet is the net

a few years back MP3.com would allow anyone to post unlimited amounts of music

thus i did so

having separate sites for each album

eventually there were 20 album of captain wardrobes music on the net

then came the purge

MP3.com was bought by CNET subsidory trusonic

CNET Networks, Inc announced today that it has acquired certain assets of MP3.com, Inc. Please be advised that on Tuesday, December 2, 2003 at 12:00 PM PST the MP3.com website will no longer be accessible in its current form.

tusonics web patter:

Music can be a powerful, persuasive tool for businesses that can affect purchasing behavior and employee behavior. Music conjures positive feelings, adds to an office or store's decor and enriches any environment.

Whether your business is a chain of cutting-edge clothing retailers, a grocery store or a candlelit restaurant, truSONIC's rich content can create the perfect atmosphere for your brand. Why not use music to enhance your opportunity for success?

users were informed that they could only have 3 free tracks on 1 page only

other sites did the same

word quickly spread of other free sites as artists clambered to find a release for their expression

IUMA - another free music server became home to thousands of ex MP3.com artists

until vitiminic - a subsidary of Buornjourno

which has the stink of Italian media mogul & Head of state: Berlusconi
http://www.buongiorno.com/uk/index.html
http://www.wseurope.com/press/02feb01.html>

bought the company out and like clockwork the IUMA site streaming / downloads slowed down to ridiculous levels...

it was unusable: with administrators apparently unable to give any reasons...

it seems only a matter of time before political forums go the same way

with contributions being monitored and lists made

psychoanalysing by the FBI NSA via its global surveillance operations

and banning of those IPs that make the most noise...

methods for counter action:

during WWII the Enigma machine was the bain of the allies war effort...

until the heroes of Bletchley park Alan Turing et al [personal heros of mine] managed to decode the encrypted formats the Germans were wiring to U-boats

we independant fighters against these tyrants now must devise codes:
perhaps seemingly innocent postings

postings using a known trusted theme eco - anti-globalsition in the case of indymedia

the big problem is communicating the method of encoding without giving it away to the spooks who watch our every move via monitored e-mails and phone calls...it's a tricky one.

New street operations - the spooks appear

i have been visited by a new friend in my local boozer he proudly states he works for New Labours election campaign - He argues and gauds me into conversation/debate

EVERY SINGLE TIME HE TRIES TO INSINUATE I HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS

he has even tried the old tactic of third party subversion.

This is a sly method which has to invole your partner or a freind

the conversation will be engaged with you but the protagonists real aim is to go to work on your companion...

the argument will become fairly involved and then heighten and the third party will feel a need to defend you

then the spook will pick on a simple word or a phrase that you have used maybe an intellectualism or an attempt to sound clever

[in my case the word was 'synarchy']

the purpose at this point is that the real debate is no longer in effect .

the spook now tries to obtain agreement from your companion that the simple word or phrase does not exist. no matter how hard you try to convince someone of the meaning of a simple element of language, unless you carry a reputable source around with you...! [heavy load!!!] Your veracity is impossible to prove once the seeds of doubt have been laid down

it is an attempt to discredit your integrity... and seed mistrust in your companion towards your opinion

this has become a familiar tactic of the trolls that argue in indymedia postings

question: have the mediators fallen victim to the psyops spooks & trolls---?

see simon the scientist and sceptic

or have they become infiltrated by spooks?

is it an individual?

or is it a clique, which is run via a head bully? using fear of ridicule / intimidation to pervade a culture of cynicism within other indymedia staff to certain subject matter.

for more examples of these tactics see the following:

"Propaganda Techniques" is based upon "Appendix I: PSYOP Techniques" from "Psychological Operations Field Manual No.33-1" published by Headquarters; Department of the Army, in Washington DC, on 31 August 1979. Appendix by Jon Roland, July, 1998.

the real battle starts here
