<p>Anti-cuts protestor. London, March 26th. This, and several other pictures I took at the demo, are featured in <a href="http://souciant.com/2011/12/solidarity-is-all-around/">Solidarity All Around</a>, by Charlie Bertsch. I used another photo I took at the same event for Joe Lockard&#8217;s <a href="http://souciant.com/2011/08/common-protests/">Common Protests</a>.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s no arguing that Wikileaks has performed an invaluable public service.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.joelschalit.com/wp-content/uploads/Julian-Assange.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5107" title="Julian Assange" src="http://www.joelschalit.com/wp-content/uploads/Julian-Assange-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>However, these stickers, featuring Julian Assange, make me slightly uneasy.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve never been a fan. However, I couldn&#8217;t help but want to own this image. The Arabic script, the metal screen, are so hackneyed, they&#8217;re almost a self-parody.</p>
<p>A great way to ironize the late guerrilla leader&#8217;s foreignness, that Guevara will somehow always be ineffable, beyond reach. Golborne street. London, 03/08.</p>
