SMALL quiet demo 31st May

25.05.2005 22:56

If you're AGAINST the gassing of many hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, if you're AGAINST the abduction and murder of innocent people simply for dissagreeing with the government, if you're AGAINST the pursuit of weapons programes designed to threaten and dominate the whole of the middle east, then be THANKFUL that Sadaam has been removed.

Instead of wasting your time making a noise at EDO, have a quiet anti-SmashEDO demo of your own by staying at home on 31st May and reading "Iraq: Setting the record straight" on www.newamericancentury.org/iraq-042005.pdf - you never know, you might just learn something. Besides, you'll at least save your bus fare and the price of a veggie burger.

While I'm on the subject, I do love the disclaimer statement on the Smash EDO website. "We are not responsible for the actions of others etc.." I suppose you felt that calling yourselves 'Smash EDO' was suitably in keeping with your "non-violent" philosophy and wouldn't be construed as inciting any forms of violence (eg: To Smash!). I preferred BOOB myself, much more appropriate.

New american century nutters ask for protestors to stay at home...hmmm

26.05.2005 12:33

Its good to see the neo-cons are contributing to IndymediaUK . EDO bosses must
have lots of spare time now they are losing contracts ddue to all their bad publicity.

Sorry mate we are coming and we will be loud.

I suggest you stay at home within your 100 yard closed military zone.


We will be LOUD.

Loud Loud very Loud


No

26.05.2005 14:31

Yes of course it "Neo-Cons" who are contributing these pieces to the newswire. On other posts we have "police" making postings.

The arrogance of those who contribute to IM is always fun to behold.


Reality check - those who Troll on Indy are bored students and the IM kollective trying to stire up controversey because the newswire is at an all time low of visitors.

Grown Up


Not for publication

26.05.2005 15:27

I see that someone has finaly posted the unpostable, the big secret that no one is supposed to say,

"and the IM kollective trying to stire up controversey because the newswire is at an all time low of visitors."

EG


Loud Loud Very Loud .......Oohh Nooooo!

26.05.2005 17:59

Neo-Con eh? Not really, just a sensible grown-up.

Ever heard of the saying, "there's no such thing as bad publicity" ? So far, contracts lost due to Smash EDO generated publicity = 0, awareness of EDO MBM amongst the UK business community = enhanced. So thanks for that.

You may be loud, but at 6.05pm all will be quiet, and at 8am the next morning EDO will be working again. Don't kid yourself that you make one jot of a difference.

I noticed you make no comment on the removal of Saddam. Must be a bit of an embarrasment to you, after all if your protests had been successful before and during the war he might still be there, dishing out his special blend of social services to his oh so gratful subjects.

Anyway, I don't have time for this rubbish, so I'm signing off IM for good. Here's looking at you kiddeees.

Another Wallflower

26.05.2005 20:54

Yea Wallflower tell it like it is. I too am all for the killing of 100,000 inocent civilians to stop this evil dictator now he doesn't do what we tell him. I'm for bombing these people to prevent him using the gas and weapons we sold him. Oh and the oil's quite nice too. Only hope it makes it cheaper for me to drive my kids to school in my SUV. But if it doesn't we can always invade somewhere else.

Shame you're leaving the list wallflower you speak such common sense. We need much more of it on this list.

Charlie Dimwit


Oh No!

26.05.2005 21:19

Someone calling themselves "wallflower" with such a devestating critique of the activist scene is signing off.

I'm almost in tears.

ADMIN! Could you remove Chris' number form the above comments? It has been put up maliciously.

Evidence - press officer

27.05.2005 11:01

No leave the phone number there. It's perfect evidence of the anarchic nature of Indymedia for the full court hearing. It's proof that the site is uncontrolled and any idiot can post and in doing so break the injunction - it was specified that no addresses or contact details should be posted on the internet.

Bit of an own goal there matey!

The number IS in the original post, and the phone has an off button :)

Billy don't be a hero

There may well be a number but not the number that Billy posted. At least I can't see it. There wasn't a name on the posting either.
