After a month old promise I made to Keith to set up a fundraiser for him and provide a format to present the photographs and findings of his journalistic investigations of the African Genocides, I was able to network a little and found great support. The Coalition for Peace and Justice here in Salisbury,Ct. and a few friends of Keith's. Gary Pontifiandolfo, our buddy and the former editor of the late great newspaper the VOICE NEWS and Jedd Gould the former publisher of the VOICE, printed up many full color flyers for the presentation. Then we got some unexpected aid from Gale Tonesing, reporter for the Waterbury Republican, who attended and wrote a great article about Keith's presentation. Finally we got a good response from the public and many generous guests. I love it when things come together this well. Two other local television producers attended the program to film it. My thanks to John Brennan producer of "The Truth Seekers" and Ken Coronet and Joe Moustash, who produce the "Questioning Citizen." I shouldn't have to mention it (but I will )
that the" L.A. STEEL SHOW" also filmed the event
for television.
I am requesting all my readers, if they
possibly can, to help out this very very
worthy cause. Keith has no corporate
support for his work and has still established a respected journalistic presence in Africa. His work has been published in many international publications with his remarkable photography. He has also been published in "Project Censored" a yearly book publication that prints the top 25 most censored articles of the year by the U.S. media.
Keith's courage, compassion and
commitment has greatly inspired me and
I believe all who attended his presentation. Through his sensitive photography of the African people he has captured their beautiful humanity. Keith exposes the brutal exploitation by American and international corporations and countries whose intentions are to keep war, genocide and chaos a part of the African mythology. A mythology sponsored and promoted by the New York Times, Atlantic Monthly , and so many main stream publications. Their articles are designed to influence the public around the world by ignoring the
corporate and political exploitation of
Africa by their owners and sponsors and redirect the attentions of the public away from the true culprits committing
the attrocities. Keith has investigated the connections between Barrick Gold and G.H.W Bush, Diamond and Cobolt mining interests of Bill Clinton, Maurice Templespan, and the numerous links and connections of powerful western political leaders and the secret invasions and wars sponsored by the CIA and other covert agencies from countries around the world who are fighting over
the mining and oil riches they are plundering from the African people.
I have completed a video taped recording of Keith's 4/16/05, 90 minute presentation, which will be made available to the public within a week or so. A minimal donation to cover cost and postaged will be charged and a percentage
of the proceeds will go to help fund
Keith's work as he is preparing to return
to the Congo within the next few months.
I urge all my readers to go to Keith's
website at www.allthingspass.com
I have this hyperlinked in the LINKS
section of this website. Please look at
the site and enjoy the photo gallery.
I seldom have sponsored a fundraiser
for anyone, but Keith Harmon Snow's
work is well worth the effort. He may
be controversial to many but I can attest
Keith is the genuine article. A true
humanitarian, truthseeker and a great
writer, whose work through the support
of the global citizenry, will be seen,
read and heard around the world and
will expose the real criminals and bring them to justice so peace and prosperity may finally come to the long suffering, indigenous people of the African Continent.
