Easter Peace Poster

More on the Communist University The page list of the Communist University is at http://amadlandawonye.wikispaces.com/space/pagelist/. It lists all the pages on the site and the number of views that have been recorded for each page. If you want to browse the whole list you may have to click through it at a rate of 20 pages a time. Wikispaces are working on that problem. People who are looking for suitable reading can go to the home page at http://amadlandawonye.wikispaces.com/ and click on one of the “Selected Recent Posts” or one of the “3-6-9-12 Months Ago” selections. These selections are changed frequently – daily, if possible. Lower down the home page you can find even more features. As yet, the home page is only being viewed one out of twelve times or less (c. 14000 out of 175000). This seems to indicate that most of the views to pages on the site are clicked from the e-mail links (plus some Google searches, probably) and so not via the home page. Which is fine, but it’s a pity that more people are not using the home page as such, and for its own sake. To see the total page views for the whole site go to http://www.wikispaces.com/site/top. This is a “league table” of the 25 most viewed public wikispaces. Help the Communist University go to the top of that chart! Send more e-mail addresses for the distrubution list ("group")! If you have a web site, and would not mind having a very small “Communist University” box in a corner of your home page, please send an e-mail to dominic.tweedie@gmail.com . The box is a place to type an e-mail address with a button to “Subscribe” to the Communist University. It consists of a few lines of HTML code, which I can send you by e-mail for pasting into your site (but not into a wikispace, because wikispaces don’t use HTML). Crucified for Peace in Holy Week Malcolm Kendall-Smith, a doctor serving with the British Royal Air Force, was jailed during the week for refusing to go to Iraq. The following excerpts are from a report in the Guardian: ‘The judge said Kendall-Smith's understanding of the crime of aggression under international law was "seriously flawed". The judge described it as a "crime which can only be committed by those responsible for the policy of a nation at the top of government or of the armed forces and that responsibility for it does not trickle down to those at lower levels of the chain of command". ‘Kendall-Smith said in a statement: "I have a very long way yet to travel and I have a great deal of further work yet to do. And I will now concentrate my efforts on that task”.’ Easter Peace Poster The link below is to a page on the CU site from which you can download a PDF file of a new poster (from Counterpunch). This poster is a good example of how to achieve very strong graphic effects with only two ink colours, black and red. Even in plain monochrome it would still look striking.
