While we all agonise about whether our Industry , Agriculture , and all Human activity and endeavour may be responsible for Climate Change there is a theory that cosmic radiation could be responsible for inordinate cloud cover - both Global warming and cooling may be explained by the formation of cloud cover due to solar wind particles which gather about them clouds. Maybe its a cop out . But Maybe not ... read full story / add a comment

Cowen seems more beaten by the day. The easy clichéd sound bites gone. He appears hunched, shuffling; or frozen in fright like the deer in the head lamp, He has inherited a terrible legacy , but one which he contributed to its making in very substantial manner.The game is up Like Brown in the UK - he too is unlucky, unpopular, lingering in from day to day, never knowing the moment to go to the country. ... read full story / add a comment

These comments are from a number of Comrades mainly from a CWI and IMT background. But we think they will find an echo with Comrades from many other left backgrounds. We have concluded that the internal life of just about every left group is unhealthy, overly centralized, too top down, even we would go so far as saying to some extent undemocratic. We believe that the internal lives of these groups draw from the period when the Bolshevik party was degenerating and being taken over by Stalinism and along with that became negatively influenced by many decades when they were isolated from the mass workers movement. The recent crisis in the IMT is a reflection of these false methods of organizing which are common to just about all revolutionary left groups. We try to discuss this here. We look forward to hearing from Comrades. See our Learning From the Past link and our blog address. John Throne. ... read full story / add a comment

“Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic? Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.” Dr Martin Luther King Jr ... read full story / add a comment

That ICTU has singularly failed public sector workers is absolutely indisputable – the events of the last few weeks have only served to show in the most gruesome manner the appalling state of the current “leadership”. Every time our Union negotiators open their mouths they further discredit the public service, conceding ground, kicking to touch on industrial action and giving the government yet more ammunition to attack us with. ... read full story / add a comment

Mr Anderson states in a media release that this is likely to repeat a history of conservative Aborigines joining forces with conservative government to thwart grassroots needs and aspirations. ... read full story / add a comment
