How they "just happen" to censor all criticism of black bloc, but manage to leave all support of black bloc untouched means one thing...........

-----> The indymedia moderators ARE black bloc

Considering black-blac numbered about 2,000 max out of 500,000
(which equates to 0.004%, or 1 in every 250)

The moderators are clearly unrepresentative of the people

I've just posted a similar point of view after my earlier post was hidden. Lets see how long the new one stays on the wire, or indeed this post. If they even make the wire at all.

Independent Media my arse.

No better than the Fleet Street rags in terms of editorial process these days.

TAXING THE POOR AND GIVING TO THE RICH

A Tory Minister whose department covered up details of who receives EU farm subsidies has
earned at least £38,000 from the same payouts for his castle estate in Cumbria.

Environment Minister Lord Henley is the third member of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to be found to be in receipt of secret subsidies.

Oliver Eden, 57, the eighth Baron of Henley - dubbed by nearby residents 'Henley the VIII'
because of his grand lifestyle - almost doubled his EU claim on his 10,000-acre estate in two years.

Last month, The Mail on Sunday revealed that the Environment and Fisheries Minister, Richard Benyon, received £200,000 in subsidies for his 20,000-acre estate in Hampshire, which is worth £125million.

Farming Minister Jim Paice also received several thousands of pounds for his farm in Suffolk.
The Government has refused to disclose what Lord Henley or Mr Benyon were paid under the EU scheme run by Defra.

Some time after November last year, Defra decided to block all information about how much farmers had earned from subsidies.

PHONY POLITICS AND CRONY CAPITALISM

2000 in 0.5m = 1 in 250 = 0.4% not 0.004%

However black bloc are seriously at odds with green / low impact living.

Smashing up glass shopfronts etc. that will inevitably be replaced has a rather high carbon footprint, and to what end? So that you can let your feelings be known about capitalism/the banking crisis/symbols of affluence? Like hell is anything going to change because of this, it is just regarded as 'mindless violence on a day hundreds of thousands had a genuine protest', it has tarred UK Uncut by association also.

I don't know how the same editors can consider that both black bloc and climate camp / earth first / climate rush etc. fall within the same 'ethos', they do not and have become seriously at odds.

(A) is so last millennium
