Innovation of the Week: Getting Water to Crops

After just two years of improved irrigation provided by a treadle pump, Robert Mwanza grew more than enough vegetables to feed his wife and eight children.

(DAKAR, Senegal) - In 1999, when he purchased his first treadle pump, Robert Mwanza, a farmer in Lusaka, Zambia, was struggling to make ends meet and without reliable access to water. As his country dealt with drought and economic weakness, Robert lacked the necessary resources to irrigate his farm and “couldn’t grow enough to eat, let alone sell.”

Access to water is a luxury that many rural households, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, do not have.

Muslim Women: The Real Oppression

When a Christian, a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist, or an atheist comments a crime, he/she is “so and so” committed a crime…. Their religious affiliation is never mentioned.

(LONDON) - I find it really outrageous and inconceivable to watch fierce campaigns rallying in “defence” of “our rights”, the rights of Muslim women, such as the staging of the Islamo-fascist Awareness Week in USA sponsored by David Horowitz.

What disturbs and frustrates me about this impious movement is the fact that those who are holding the banner of our “liberation” are precisely the ones whose hands are dripping with our blood, the blood of Muslim women!

The Helen Thomas` Resolution

Like the rest of humanity, Old Helen Thomas is tired of Jewish power and Israeli barbarism, she touched the nerve exactly where it hurts by saying the plain truth. “Get the hell out of Palestine”. Truth, it seems, echoes ethics and reason.

(LONDON) - Those who are engaged in the Palestinian solidarity discourse are familiar with two visions of conflict resolution: the ‘Two State Solution’ and the ‘One State Solution’.

The Flying Saucer Crashes

In this case, the official sources are too busy explaining why this is impossible rather than attempting to learn if it is true.

(CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa) - In 1950, a columnist for Variety, Frank Scully, published a book entitled, Behind the Flying Saucers. It was an expose of a government program, funded in secret and retaining some 1800 scientists, to study the remains of three crashed flying saucers allegedly captured in the desert Southwest.

This story, if true, would be the exclusive of a lifetime.

Israel: Strategic Ally or Liability for the USA?

Stephen Sniegoski debunks the arguments that Israel is a strategic US asset, advanced by Israel lobbyists such as billionaire chief editor of US News & World Report Mort Zuckerman, and argues that Israel is in fact a significant political, military and strategic liability for the United States.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The claim that Israel serves as a valuable ally for the United States is made by both pro-Zionists and much of the anti-war and anti-Zionist left that is influenced by Noam Chomsky.

As a result of the Gaza flotilla massacre, which has caused a worldwide uproar against Israel, the value of Israel to the United States is being publicly questioned in more mainstream foreign policy forums.
