- Hellow dear comrade.
Unfortunatly I have been not able to be active on the blog be cause of private matters. Now the CPN is polling for the parlament election in Sept. One of the major sloagans will be to mobilaze the fight for the freedom of the Palestinian people. The communist have called for political and economical
support in the last congress of the Norwegian Trade Union in May. This got a great applause in the congress.
You see also in this part of the world we try to contribute for the benegit of the Palestinians.

- I live in northern Minnesota.
I am the Director of Organizing for the Midwest Casino Workers Organizing Council.
I would like to network with people to educate people in the struggle against imperialism.
Many people are feeling very powerless in the face of this madness. We need to keep in mind that we are each like one little raindrop... we don't amount to much... but let it pour and all those little raindrops turn into a very powerful force. The Israeli butchers of the children in Gaza might want to keep this in mind.

Statement from AFL-CIO on Honduras coup
I find it very interesting--- and very good--- that AFL-CIO President John Sweeney issued this statement condemning the coup in Honduras...
BUT, why was he silent when Israel launched its murderous spree in Gaza Strip several months ago?
This is a question that all trade unionists and all people of goodwill need to be asking AFL-CIO President John Sweeney and the heads of the AFL-CIO.
There is a very serious duplicity and hypocrisy in AFL-CIO policy when it comes to Israel and the Palestinian… Continue

What we need--- instead--- is 800 public health care centers spread out across the United States where people can universally access, for free, all their health care needs from pre-natal care, to general health care to eye, dental and mental care right through to burial.

Joel Kovel, prominent anti-Zionist fired; please read and add your comments to this post
Kovel has been an unwavering and pioneering critic of white supremacy, environmental injustice, and Zionism. And this is the price he has paid.
Here we are living in the world's greatest bastion of democracy and this is what people get for speaking out against injustices.… Continue
