Desert Peace

I was just informed by the Administrator of Media With Conscience (MWC) that the graphics they post credited to Carlos Latuff and Benjamin Heine no longer appear on Google News. All other graphics do appear as can be seen in the link I just provided.

Both Carlos and Ben are Associates of mine, their works are known throughout the world. Google’s attempt to erase them from existence will not work. They are both here to stay and will both continue creating works depicting the peoples’ struggles throughout the world.

Their works can be seen on their sites…

Both are especially known for their works depicting the ongoing struggle of the Palestinian people, a struggle that Google apparently wished did not exist. This is made obvious by their censorship of pro Palestinian Blogs, as well as their refusal to post works appearing on Uruknet and other sites.

The Palestinian struggle DOES exist. The struggle to end US aggression in Iraq DOES exist. Neither Google, nor anyone else, can put a stop to that. The struggles will continue until victory comes to all fighting for justice.

I take personal pride to be associated with the likes of Ben, Carlos and Uruknet, and thank each of them from the bottom of my heart for the endless dedication that they all show us on a daily basis.
