Comrade Otis emails me with this:

I have found one search that'll take you to The People's Cube. If you go to Google Image search and search for the image - peoples cube - (not - people's cube - won't work with the apostrophe) one of the returns is Groupthink :: The People's Cube. This will take you to The People's Cube. Someone there at Google must have missed that one.
Meanwhile our traffic is down by about 50% thanks to the Google embargo.
PittsburghProletarian is correct - Google still linked to us on Friday morning, the stats showed about 100 hits from Google from yesterday - and then it suddenly stopped. By about 2pm none of the world's Google sites had any memory/cache of the Cube's existence left. Thanks again for alerting us, PittsburghProletarian! One can't overemphasize the importance of vigilance in class struggle!
No word from Google yet...

A worthy commentary on this issue appeared this morning here:

I don't know the author but he's pretty good (beside the fact that he's a Cube fan)
Quote Now, let's put accusations of conspiracy-mongering aside and accept the fact that Google is a very Left-leaning organization. We know that, employee by employee, 98% of the 2004 campaign donations from the people that comprise Google went to Democrats. We know that Google Ads preferentially lists Democrat advertisements. We know that Google is willing to roll over for China and help them censor dissident websites but will fight tooth and nail against America's Federal Government in providing information to help combat terrorism. We know that Google News uses extreme (i.e. violent) Left-wing sites such as Electronic Intifata as newsfeed sources.
I recommend you read the whole thing - it's worth it.

WE are still free but not as free as others. All is not lost, "thepeoplescube.com"can be found on Google. One must click on group, then enter "thepeoplescube.com". It is right there!
--------------------
You can still find references to the Cube on third-party sites even in regular search, nobody can remove that - but all DIRECT LINKS to the Cube in Google have been removed - and they used to be in abundance.

Thanks to Google they had a huge increase in traffic. Apparently what Google gives, Google can take away.
