The manipulation of Resist.

As volunteer of indymedia.be, I'm not so glad to see that their is a publicity for a political party on Indymedia.org

"Earlier in the week, planespotting took place at the Belgium airport Oostende>. Oosteinde is used for civil flights with military material and the change the crews, but one of the companies recently decided to fly via the UK (nl) instead. A few days later, a group of activists walked on the runway (nl, fr) and hung up a banner (nl) with "No war for oil. Resist" over the windows of the controll tower"

This comes out the feature on Indymedia.org

Resist is a party that will come up with the elections in Belgium on 18 May.

It is a combination of Stalinists and Arabian nationalists.

Resist doesn't mean resist like in Englisch language, but is an advertisement for a political party that will come up with the elections in Belgium.

Some people of Indymedia.be did write a book for this party.

I wonder how many people know that some people in Belgium arer using Indymedia.be for their own sake, for their party.

Using a war to make publicity for your own party, how low can you fall?

Well, using a war to futher the interests of your party is democracy-as-usual.
Bad Queen Thatch's Faulklands effort comes to mind.

Thanks for pointing out that in Belgium, 'Resist' is a specific group - it's pretty busy work keeping up to date with who is a front group for whom.

If people from political party group 'resist' did the action then it should be reported. There's a difference between reporting party people (sic) doing an action and publishing recruitment literature etc

Each year in scotland scores of people are arrested at the annual blockade of faslane nuclear base. Many of those are scottish politicians, and that fact gets reported, as it should.

is no party
