Activist insurgents like Totally.O.Useless. and belmore no doubt are working along similar lines;


"In Indonesia, as in other developing countries, local anti-mining NGOs are partners with Western activists. While they claim to represent the local community, they are in fact funded almost entirely from abroad. For activists in the developing countries, these campaigns are as much about earning a living as they are about saving the environment. As in the developed world, protesting there has become a profession. What gives NGOsÕ agendas away is the fact that they only campaign against foreign joint ventures. They leave local mines alone, even those that extensively use mercury and operate with poor standards. Moreover, when foreign investors sell out to locals, the NGO campaigns invariably stop."



"Instead of assisting the rule of law, the NGOs have effectively undermined the decision-making process and attacked the reputation of politicians, the police and public servants who did their job honestly and according to the evidence. Instead of working against corruption, they have actively facilitated it by providing police with the cover of false claims."
