For Justice and Freedom

The Communist University’s subscriber list is now over 600, and the total page views since December will exceed 180,000 by today or tomorrow. If you want to support the drive for more CU subscribers, please send e-mail addresses of potential new subscribers to dominic.tweedie@gmail.com . They will be entered on the subscription list, but will also receive a message saying that they unsubscribe at any time, by following the instructions on every message, or by e-mailing the above address. 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.
