Indymedia Funding - What they try to hide

David Brumton | 10.03.2006 14:29 | Education | Indymedia | Social Struggles

Seeing recent posts on Indymedia UK newswire requesting details of Indymedia funding, and those (inlcusing this one I'm sure) being hidden from view, has prompted me to speak up.

Seeing recent posts on Indymedia UK newswire requesting details of Indymedia funding, and those (inlcusing this one I'm sure) being hidden from view, has prompted me to speak up.

Indymedia has strong connections to Ford and Microsoft, to name a few. The actual list of donations comes from very right wing, very powerful multi billion dollar corporations.

A lot of sites have picked up on this, and expose the truth behind Indymedia.

The Indymedia UK site itself attracts a lot of suspicion due to heavily censorship, with very little explanation.

Many other Indymedia sites have criticised the UK branch, however there has been no official response as the UK editors are allowed to continue molding, twisting and hiding information.

Yes, microsoft funding a grassroots organisation in the UK which promotes free open source software and provides a platform for anti-corporate anti-capitalist ideas. That makes lots of sense.

And Ford. Yes, the Ford motor company, pioneers of the devision and labour and mass production. The same Ford motor company that had ties to the Nazi war machine. They are also funding a platform used by anti-climate change campaigners, roads protesters and the peace movement. That makes loads of sense too..

Thank god this information has been revealed to us by 'David' 'etc' with their well researched and referenced articles exposing the full horror.

Thanks so much for all the links to the other indymedia groups that are discussing the outrage that is IMC UK and also the links to the facts and figures and evidence that confirms that this is all true and not just a pathetic attempt to discredit indymedia with completely unsubstantiated lies.

This is really important news David, please publish the full list of corporate funders and tell us where it came from as soon as possible.

Wow, I am so impressed with your amazing powers of investigative reporting. I bet those indymedia big wigs are all shaking in their expensive designer boots having seen your damning in-depth exposé on their dodgy finances. They are probably trying as we speak to launder the money into off shore bank accounts and stocking up their yachts for when the angry indymedia users grab their pitch forks and form a lynch mob.

Anyway, please do furnish us with the facts and figures rather than just tease us with the magnitude of your discovery.

'Indymedia has strong connections to Ford and Microsoft, to name a few.'

What a load of shit. Oh yeah , multinational corporations that indymedia exposes actually fund indymedia. Yeah sure!

You obviously have no proof, or else you would provide links.

But of course shit postings like this will be hidden! And then you will whine 'censorship'! This is exactly the kind of crap which is getting hidden! Doh

And no, I dont administer indymedia myself...otherwise I'd hide your post myself.

Now at least people can see why indymedia has to hide posts! Loads of right wing nutters want to use it as a platform!
