Recently it was revealed that Fidel Castro was super critical of the Iranian President’s views on Israel. Cuban revolutionist blames Mossad, secret services of US, UK for recent assassination of Iranian scientist. ‘I don’t remember another time in history when killing of scientists was official policy of powers armed with WMDs.The mercenaries are also responsible for a series of other assassinations that are meant to thwart the development of an Iranian nuclear program. The 84-year-old claimed that western intelligence agency were responsible for the disappearance of Iranian scientists on a regular basis.

What the Right Gains From Poisoning Our Political Discourse and Inspiring Violence
One of the latest victims of more political violence in America, violence fueled by an incoherent rage against government and elected officials who cannot instantly bring back prosperity and the jobs lost overseas or restore in a blink some idealized vision of a nation that might once have been but is no more. And all of it egged on by right wing leaders and their cronies lurking in the swampier reaches of the Internet, hate radio and television.We now see the deadly effect. The root causes are many and less distinct: fear of the future and what it may or may not hold, hostility inflamed by the economic injustice and uncertainty that force too many to live from paycheck to paycheck without anything saved or the slightest guarantee of security -- a gnashing of teeth and sharpening of claws because others may have what you have not.
It has been the right's goal to poison our political discourse for years. Remember the notorious “GOPAC Memo” back in the 1990’s, created for the Republicans’ leadership training institute and endorsed by Newt Gingrich? Titled "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control,” in it, candidates are instructed in what words to use when defining their opponents (i.e., liberals). "These are powerful words that can create a clear and easily understood contract,” the memo said. “Apply these to the opponent, their record, proposals, and their party” (in other words, demonize them).( It has been the left's goal to poison our discourse... Don't believe me ? Conservatives are not neocons any more than U.S. citizens are millionaires. Paid commentary ignores one nasty idea : the 'status quo' means a 'choice' of oppressors...the hypocrites or the wingnuts. It's a simple 'Good Cop, Bad Cop' ploy where neither 'choice' accomplishes anything.
As for 'what people believe'...which people ? That is as intelligent a report as those which tell about the Taliban or al Qaeda as a global coverall catch phrase for the 'target of the day.'
People ...are individuals...warts and all. )
An Inside Look at the Daily Struggle for Water in One of the World's Largest Cities
Having access to water is one thing; having the source of that water reasonably close to home at a reasonable cost and obtainable with a reasonable level of effort is another.In India and the rest of South Asia in particular, water has been made more widely available primarily through community water sources. In rural areas, that has been done through village wells; in urban areas, community water taps serve the purpose.
The bulk of Kadam Chawl's water supply comes from a neighborhood tap that runs for about 20 minutes each night. It's connected to a remote branch of a labyrinthine public system that funnels water from 17 reservoirs east of the city, delivering it through almost 7,000 kilometers of water mains and smaller plumbing. The sprawling system does a reasonably good job, under difficult circumstances, of providing the most important of all public services.
