Activists "Mung Bean" 4x4's

Activists in Edinburgh claim responsibility for 'disarming' ten 4x4's over the last two months, stating that they are fighting climate change. The saboteurs say they have targeted the 4x4's to raise awareness about these highly fuel inefficient vehicles and the disastrous effects they have upon our climate, and more generally about the relationship between wealth and climate change. They are using mung beans to deflate the tyres of 4x4's by unscrewing the dust cap that protects the valve of the tire, placing a mung bean in the cap, and replacing the cap, which depresses the valve, deflating the tyre. Activists then place a letter explaining their actions on the windscreen. The activists say that they plan to escalate their disarming of SUV's, saying "we hope these actions will increase in number, from a slight annoyance into a real obstacle, putting an end to this polluting vehicles popularity". They say that they are inspired by the Swedish group, the Indians of the Concrete Jungle, who have apparently provoked much anger from SUV owners. Over a thousand 4x4's are reported to have been disarmed in Sweden, and three people have been caught by police.

These suv drivers are to be congratulated. The more excessive their fuel consumption, the quicker the collapse will come. EAT YOUR DAHL INSTEAD OF WASTING IT ON THESE HEROES PLEASE YOU IDIOTS!

The above post is authored by one of the two members of the the absurd group, the 'anti-farming alliance', merely to provoke a fuss. Anyone who seriously believes that we should burn more fossil fuels so that there is runaway climate change, causing the deaths of billions of people is obviously mad, and a very shit person.

"The above post is authored by one of the two members of the the absurd group, the 'anti-farming alliance', merely to provoke a fuss." Still identifying posters you don't agree with online eh ? How do you do that when you claim not to have access to their IP's ? Seriously you little wanker, why shouldn't I treat you like every other police grass in the movement when you abuse your power daily ? Why is only your right to criticise anonymously respected ? Moronic fakers have turned IMScotland into the Makhno&MI5 show, and this is to be regretted.

Leave it out Danny. Its pretty easy to work out who posts what. If you want to really be annonymous when posting, don't post straight after an article where youve identified yourself with the same message and style. Its not rocket science. The same way that people know you've posted even when it says anonymous. No-one needs to be an informer on you anyway. You came on IMC bragging about having access to run-ways and asking people to contact you if they want information. Stop being such an idiot.

The Makhno and MI5 show!

Look, its easy to work out - they are the only two people in edinburgh who espouse the primitivist line of '6 billion people ought to die, so we can live in the iron age' and they are both in this stupid group 'The Anti-Farming Alliance' And the above comment appeared shortly after the article written by the absurd group AFA, and had exactly the same ideological position and way of saying things. its not difficult to work out

"Danny who are u? never seen u about. apart From paranoid nonsense on here." Aye he doesn't do much aside from voice his paranoia on indymedia sites and occasionally threaten people. Don't feed the trolls folks! "Makhno&MI5 show" Admittedly that is one of the funnier things he's posted. :)

police statement!

By Makhno

After this article was posted Edinburgh Evening News published this article:

Warning after 4x4 attacks

POLICE chiefs have warned they will come down hard on anyone caught tampering with 4x4 cars. The warning comes after climate change activists made claims on the internet that they had deflated the tyres on ten 4x4s over the last two months in Edinburgh as part of a protest over high vehicle emissions.

A police spokesman said: "This type of irresponsible behaviour cannot be tolerated, and anyone caught illegally deflating the tyres on any vehicle – be that a 4x4 or otherwise – will be dealt with appropriately."
