Cops using IMC publish and comment ability to spread lies.

by Jake Sunday, Aug. 06, 2000 at 8:40 AM

The cops are now using the IMC's posting & commenting abilitys to spread false information and attempt to disprove or downplay others

The cops are now using the IMC's posting & commenting abilitys to spread false information and attempt to disprove or downplay others on the Philly IMC site.

If you take a look through the Philly IMC's news and comments for the past two days the police (or COINTELPRO) have used common or anonymous names and have tried to downplay events and call our documented proof (from photos, video, and first hand accounts) all just trumped up allegations. Im sorry piggy, but the only thing trumped up are your lies and bails. :)

They are also implementing the same tactic on the LA IMC site by pretending to be various civilians and saying how they will fight us and how they support the LAPD beating us. They are trying to create a flase public sentiment for themselves. They are also claiming we want to burn there city and are all thugs. This government flood of flase info is rather annoying to say the least.

We get enough of these lies in the corporate media, the IMC is the only voice of the people. I hope the IMC's take steps to try and prevent this in some way, because this is where we come to here the REAL news, not the lies. STOP THE LIES THE COPS ARE SPREADING ON THE IMC SITE.

Little piggy told a lie

by Silly Rabbit - Snohomish



I don't think IMC should censor anything. That's just resorting to the corporate method. Piggy articles and dis-information are pretty easy to spot, and even easier to ignore. For instance, the dummy who keeps posting about murdering the disfigured. It may make some angry, but only a sub-dolt would believe it.

They're just trying to get our goat or get a feel for our mood so they can continue thier FBI counter-insurgency methods more efficiently. What can they really do? Hire Rush Limbaugh to try to annoy us? convince us all to join the army?

I think it would be best if the IMC made this systems so it would be completly un-censorable. That way, even when the FBI infiltrates the IMC, the agent would never be able to censor anything.

How about making it so you have to register in order to post news? It wouldn't be censorship... it'd just be a lot harder to post crap.

Registering

by Silly Rabbit - Snohomish

Registering would make it harder for everone to post. I hate registering to post a message, I think the IMC has it set up just right. Registering will only make it harder for the general public to post. I know I wouldn't post if there was some register thing. I'd probably stop reading it to.

Anyway, the pigs would probably love it if we all registered to post messages here.

If a cop has been assigned the job of posting messages, he'll do it anyway. If he's doing it on his own free time, he'll probably do it anyways. I support they're right to hold an opinion anyway. I don't support the shutting out of anyone, for any reason. Many people arn't total idiots, and don't believe everything they read. We don't need any CENSORSHIP or stupid RULES to slow us down.

Cops, believe it or not, are forms of human beings too. Respect thier right to babble nonsense, it only strengthens us anyway. CENSORSHIP AND RULES SUCK BUTT! Lets stop trying to act like cops.

Not all disimformation posters are police!

by Hollering Mangoo

Some disimformation posters are cop groupies (believe me there's lots of 'em!) and cranks. But most can be written off an unimportant, just a kind of insignifigant detritous that collects on public forums. The bottom line is to just trust your common sense and activate your bullshit detector. Unfortunatly, lots of normally apolitical people have bought the demonization of the protesters the mainstream press have sold them. It's a big stakes mind fuck being perpatrated! Be cool and avoid the 'noid!
