POPSIn Orissa Christians treated worse than animals, says Father Bernard Fr Bernard Digal is the treasurer of the Archdiocese of Cuttack-Bhubaneshwar. He spoke to AsiaNews about his pain over what is happening in Orissa. He, too, was wounded, beaten for hours by radical Hindus, left for a whole night unconscious, half naked, in the forest, until he was found by his driver. Now he is in the intensive care unit in Mumbai’s Holy Spirit Hospital. During his talk with AsiaNews he was given another unit of blood. But his thoughts were with his people and family, all forced to flee to save their lives, now stranded in a refugee camp near Bhubaneshwar. “My heart is filled with gratitude because God saved my life. But whilst I am being treated here my people are hiding in the forest and even there, there is no security,” he said. “There are mothers breast-feeding their infants, children, young and old people, all hanging on a precarious thread, in terror. Even refugee camps are not free of dangers.”

POPSIsrael killing terrorists ? No, welders, whoops ! Every time you see a report saying `Al-Quaeda members` or `Taliban bombers` you can assume it is highly likely some poor bloody civilian. Bombs directed from Langley - it is murder by the State; it is disgusting. Who might become an enemy next ?

POPS"In the Clutches of the American Monster."
A QUOTE: "From here we start our struggle to get our sister released from the clutches of the American monster." is how this article ends, referring to the guilty verdict for a Pakistan scientist, mother of three. As we now know (right?) people are held in U.S. secret prisons for years and years, without trials, tortured, and murdered (one murder conviction thus far, for beating a general to death). Aafia Siddiqui, according to many reports, was one of those victims, held for years in jail, a secret prison, tortured and raped. After escape she was hunted down, arrested by Afghan authorities, and when U.S. troops showed up to take her away she grabbed a gun from one of the guards and shot them down. TYPICALLY, we haven't heard much about this trial: evidence, Q&A, what she said when she was on the witness stand --- but we get a lot of commentary about it. Humm...We're suppose to believe she was also plotting to blow up the Statue of Liberty. But we've managed to do th

POPSTip of the iceberg It will take an Arab/Palestinian/Muslim defeat by Israel for this to be revealed in the mainstream, just as similar tactics were used as part of the Soviet Union's attacks on the West.

POPSSpray-on miracle could revolutionise manufacturing more (at source): The secret of liquid glass is that it forms an ultra-thin film between 15 and 30 molecules thick – about 500 times thinner than human hair. On this nanoscale – a few millionths of a millimetre thick – liquid glass turns into a highly flexible invisible barrier that repels water, dirt and bacteria, yet is resistant to heat, acids and UV radiation but remains "breathable". A family-owned German company called Nanopool holds patent rights on the technology behind the liquid glass, which emerged from research at the Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken. Nanopool is already talking to British firms and the NHS about using the product for a diverse range of applications, from coating designer handbags to spraying the nose cones of high-speed trains.

POPSPressing Ashgabat on Refusniks Apparently it is a Human Right to leave and return to your country and we have been fighting for this in Turkmenistan. But we're not fighting for this in the Gaza Strip. Thus: Realization #1 about USA whining about human rights -- it's part of the propaganda blather for our wars. Realization #2 starts with wondering Why? our government is funding students in Turkmenistan: Because we are training spies and promoting covert political and military agitation.(Like in Iran). Now that the War with Iran seems more inevitable (2-days ago Blair managed to spin a whole rap about it when he was instead suppose to be on the hot seat for Iraq -- an amazing achievement). 2-days ago President Obama warned of "dire consequences." in his State of the Union. Announced Today: New "defensive," (LOL) missiles moved into Arab states surrounding Iran & more missile warships to Persian Gulf. We're good to go, it seems. If we go through Iran and get to Ashgabat, we will ALL the Caspian S
