Experience shows that this is the best way to build the list. The NPA/Scorpions are in trouble again (see link) – and Minister Brigitte Mabandla has been sitting on the report for over a year. Who will guard the guards themselves? Who will prosecute the prosecutors? All the linked report says is that there is going to be an internal disciplinary inquiry. This is a scandal! Another scandal is the boondoggle Shilowa Express gravy-train. Or maybe that should be “cash cow train”. The linked report shows zero support and growing resentment against this imported multi-billion-rand rich people's toy that even the rich don't want. In Nepal there is a revolution going on that is like a replay of the great French revolution, or the revolutions of 1848. The situation is developing by the hour. A late report from China says that the Seven Party Alliance that includes the Communist Party intends to bring out 2 million people on to the 27-kilometre Kathmandu Ring Road on Tuesday to force the issue and drive out the feudalist dictator monarch for good. Mswati, are you watching? The linked report below is a full round-up from an Indian web site from their reporter in Kathmandu. In Palestine, things are not so good. In the report linked below, Jeff Halper, a candidate for the Nobel Peace prize, reports on the Israeli colonialists’ “final push”. The last link below is to a large downloadable PDF file, in which the CP Canada’s Central Committee reports in the wake of an election that produced a minority Conservative government in that country. See also the Communist University home page for a photograph from Friday’s Khutsong/Moutse demonstration in Tshwane, plus all the CU links. Julius Baker was a great communist, a member of the CPSA and the SACP, and 98 years old when he died peacefully in London on Thursday 20 April 2006. His main interests were the Party, and education. A lot of people know what a great man he was. Messages can be sent to his son, David Baker, at d.a.baker11@btinternet.com . The funeral will take place at 10h30 on Wednesday at the Golders Green Crematorium, London.
