DESERT PEACE EXCLUSIVE




If it’s about Israel…. the media is not interested.
If it condemns Israel…. the media is definitely not interested.

Yesterday afternoon, NYC Council Member Charles Barron called a Press Conference to discuss ‘zionist piracy on the high seas’. Not a single member of the Corporate Media attended the conference… in fact, the only people representing the ‘media’ at all in attendance were our roving photographer Bud and his sidekick Chippy Dee. Again, the power of the Blogesphere proves its strength.

On this note…. Chippy Dee had the following observation:


Interestingly, if you Google the event there is loads of info on the blogs but nothing in the press. We’d be in total ignorance without bloggers. No wonder they’re trying so hard to get rid of this thorn in their side. With all the tumult, are you hearing about the military coup in Honduras? It is starting – attempts to destroy the new democracies.


The Press apparently decided that the confiscation of children’s toys, medical supplies and building materials is OK…. as it is a way of protecting their beloved Israel. It’s also OK to kidnap Human Rights Workers aboard the ship as they are a threat to the security of Israel as well…. so, it’s best to just ignore the issue just in case anyone might disagree with the tactics used by the Israeli government.

A leaflet was distributed calling for a demonstration later today…. it appears at the bottom of this post.

The following photos of Mr. Barron (in light brown collarless suit) and his aid Lamont Carolina were taken at the ‘attempted’ Press Conference.
