An article was posted on Indymedia exposing undercover / plainclothes police violence in Madrid, but Indymedia's moderators HID that article. To put that act of censorship in its context, many extreme agent-provocateur / false-flag posts are allowed by Indymedia's moderators, usually advocating violence and terrorism, in clear attempts to smear genuine radicals, and most comments criticizing those false-flag posts are then removed by Indymedia's moderators (some false-flag posts even advocate killing innocent people, some stoop as low as advocating murdering women and kids). This last act of Indymedia censorship is final proof that Indymedia are deliberately restricting the dissemination of reports about and awareness of the tactics that undercover cops use to incite violence and to discredit the international protest movement.

Sure Indymedia has been used (by activists, not by Indymedia's moderators) as a platform to expose undercover cops, but senior police know that individual officers, once compromised, can easily be replaced. Exposing a few faces is far less dangerous to police operations than exposing an entire tactic, so where Indymedia step-in to block information is when activists point-out that police provocateurs regularly post-up extremist material to discredit radicalism, and when activists point-out that cops wear black-bloc style gear as camouflage to operate inside protests.

Don't think for even one moment that the people who brought us Mark Kennedy ever gave up - cops like that are still trying to wreck the protest movement the world over, and they're causing huge damage. It's awful to have to say this, but Indymedia have fucked-up far too often now for their constant encouragement of agent-provocateurism to have stemmed from any kind of honest mistakes. NEVER STOP GENUINE ACTIVISM, BUT NEVER TRUST INDYMEDIA.

Here's the article / photos that Indymedia hid -  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2012/09/500684.html

PLUS...... more videos of undercover black-bloc attacking protestors in Madrid....

The 2 undercovers in the original article, joined by one other plainclothes black-bloc, can be seen dragging a protestor between 1:03 and 1:08 in this BBC TV news report (happens very fast) - one of the cops is wearing a black scarf / snood over his face as well as wearing a black hoody -

In this next video the same uncovers can be seen pleading with uniformed riot cops not to beat a downed "protestor" because he's another cop -
