german activists need UK help

please send us stories of Kennedy or any other agents as provocateurs, or violating any other such laws. If you don't want to go public in the UK, which is hard to understand, then please send us your information. Mark Kennedy was acting as an agent provocateur here, which is making big legal problems for any related activities here, including german gov't/police spy operations. We just uncovered a guy here infiltrating antifa, which Kennedy tried to do, but as a UK spy! we

Enen df you don't want to go public in the UK on the kennedy case, which is hard to understand, then please send us your information. Mark Kennedy was acting as an agent provocateur here in germany, which is making big legal problems here, including for german gov't/police spy operations. German activists just uncovered a cop here infiltrating antifa, which Kennedy tried to do, but as a UK spy! It was translated to English:

Also in USA, where they just discovered an undercover agent in last 2 days:

We are winning on this case, and need to keep the pressure on! holding back crucial info about the dastardly deeds of mark kennedy and his pals is not helping.

please send us your infos, to help us in germany at the least! Your facts showing he worked illegally in UK will quite possibly be used in german parliamentary discussions about illegality of operations of Mark Kennedy in Germany as well.
thanks, and much solidarity.

you can also send things to German MP's (Hans-Christian Ströbele, Andrej Hunko) we are cooperating closely with, as mentioned in Guardian here:

anyone who doesn't want info in the public domain shouldn't send it to a e-mail address that they don't know...

Obviously the person who posted this didn't encourage anyone to post anything to any address that people don't know; there isn't one. If you know some information, you'll have enough nouce to work out who to pass it onto.

Hans-Christian Ströbele is in interesting character by the way, even when he sides with the realists. Could do with more Parliamentary Green Lawyers something like him, rather than the usual damp squibs.

There isn't any information being "withheld". No doubt a few details could be added to what is already known, possibly about his trips abroad from anyone who went with him, but that's all.

Only one document wasn't published for a good reason. All it established was that Mark Kennedy gave his occupation as "police officer" on an official document some time in the 1990s. This is what nailed him, but there is nothing else there of any use or significance to our German comrades or anyone else.

Our comrades in Germany have been misled by the makers of the "withheld information" myth.

A number of groups have put their names forward as those who have endorsed the original statement by those who exposed Mark Kennedy - why have you not attempted to contact them? Indymedia UK is full of trolls and those who delight in spreading misinformation. Please take a more critical approach and do not treat unsubstantiated allegations and rumour into fact. Because something is repeated many times by those with their own agenda does not turn misinformation into something that has been verified.

why no contact

Reading back this article, I am suspecting more and more it is an effort to maintain the spreading of disinfo around the Mark Kennedy expose. Why no contact email provided; why no link to a group whose genuineness can be verified? Why seek for information from unverifiable postings on Indymedia? Is there a rat to be smelled here?

They are in the post but wisely one would need to go though climate camp press team or the MP.

Dear FTP & ftp,

ftp posted here first, and I for one have been confused by your similar names. So can FTP please assume another name, may I suggest 'Fuck The Police' since I assume that is what they mean?

As I used to tell ftp, in Scotland and Ulster FTP is commonly held to mean 'Fuck the Pope', presumably not what either of you mean by you three-letter acronymn (TLA).

Love and peaces,
Am I a Danny or a Billy? I'm both, either, whatever will get me out of here quicker

really?

Odd - no mention it on the UK climate camp media team email list. Or is it another Climate Camp?

'Jason' - presumably the same as 'jfk' talks about 'we - who is 'we'? Is it a group, or is he acting on behalf of the german MPs. It great someone is doing work, but this still strikes me as

ps Danny
you've missed several another meanings for the acronym FTP... but then it really means nothing on indymedia who puts what name to a post. I've had trolls use my real name on more than one occasion.

Security precautions are a good thing imo

I don't know what your problem is FTP. Do you have info to send them? If so, would you rather send it to an email address you've never heard of before, or contact the Climate Camp Media team and ask them for Jason's details, or alternatively look for the contact details for the German parliamentarians.

I have asked a German activist I trust about this, and they assure me in is genuine. If you want to check with me about it, you can contact me via email. You'll find my email address on the IMC mod list.
