Indymedia - now covering up its own infiltration ?
Indymedia | 11.06.2009 12:32
Two posts today related to the recent identification of a police mole within the AR community and Climate Camp groups.
For reasons best known to them Indymedia admins have been trying to sweep this under the carpet. The two posts are below, feel free to have a look and decide for you self.
This is not the first time news of a police spy within an activist unit has ben surpressed by Indymedia. During the G20 protests news of a bug in the rampARTS centre was hidden on Indymedia, the use of IP details obtained from Indymedia under a court order was hidden by Indymedia, details of the SHAC spy Adrian Radford were hidden by Indymedia.
Indymedia response is always to ask for information to be sent to it. I suggest that Indymedia is itself compromised. There is no other reason to hide this information.

Infiltrated, I doubt it

The far more likely explanation is that one admin is friendly with a lot of AR people and is probably trying to spare them the embarrasment of publicly admitting there has been yet more spies working closely within their group.
