Trump hosts former head of Syrian Al-Qaeda Al-Jolani to the White House Tue Nov 11, 2025 22:01 | imc
Was that not what the War on Terror was about ?
Today things finally came full circle. It was Al-Qaeda that supposedly caused 9/11 and lead to the War on Terror but really War of Terror by the USA and lead directly to the deaths of millions through numerous wars in the Middle East.
And yet today the former head of Syrian Al-Qaeda, Al-Jolani was hosted in the White House by Trump. A surreal moment indeed.
In reality of course 9/11 was orchestrated by inside forces that wanted to launch the War of Terror and Al-Qaeda has been a wholly backed American tool ever since then.

Study of 1.7 Million Children: Heart Damage Only Found in Covid-Vaxxed Kids Sat Nov 01, 2025 00:44 | imc
A major study involving 1.7 million children has found that heart damage only appeared in children who had received Covid mRNA vaccines.
Not a single unvaccinated child in the group suffered from heart-related problems.
In addition, the researchers note zero children from the entire group, vaccinated or unvaccinated, died from COVID-19.
Furthermore, the study found that Covid shots offered the children very little protection from the virus, with many becoming infected after just 14 to 15 weeks of receiving an injection.

Top Scientists Confirm Covid Shots Cause Heart Attacks in Children Sun Oct 05, 2025 21:31 | imc
A comprehensive study by leading pediatric scientists has confirmed that the devastating surge in heart failure among children is caused by Covid mRNA shots.
The peer-reviewed study, published in the prestigious journal Med, was conducted by scientists at the University of Hong Kong.
The team, led by Dr. Hing Wai Tsang, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, the University of Hong Kong, uncovered evidence to confirm that Natural Killer (NK) cell activation by Covid mRNA injections causes the pathogenesis of acute myocarditis.
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle that restricts the body?s ability to pump blood.

Pathetic turn out's. Fair play to those who did bother though.
Typical Irish. The people will never force change here.
Approximately 200 people turned out in Dublin. These 'assemblies' have been taking place over maybe a month in Dublin since the kick off of the camps in Spain. They started at around 400/500 people in initial flush. Dropped to 100 or less - but what is significant is that the 19th assembly/demonstration reversed this falling off and saw a strong and committed very heterogenous group (2/3 immigrant Europeans 1/3 Irish approx) start to consolidate around determination to make this RDNI thing work and communicate broadly. So rather than say - nothing will change (useless disempowering apathy) - why not take inspiration from immigrants with the courage and determination to organise in Dublin and start to support them, offer solidarity to them?
I appreciate the 'camping' model might work in BCN and other euro places (where its nice and warm!) but it doesnt translate well into the middle of O'Connell Street - in front of the GPO might be heavily political but it is hardly a square, where people passing by can sit and engage with the issues.
What is the alternative in this case? Maybe a square like Temple Bar sq, much more people passing by, probably interested in hearing more about alternative ideas. I do think the area in front of the Central Bank has been done to death - but maybe given the current situation and the banks relevance to what is happening, maybe its time to camp out there instead, or have an RDN event there.
But for me, standing around and listening to speeches for a long period of time is incredibly disempowering and I walk away from it feeling drained and useless - ESPECIALLY if there is a small amount of people listening to the talks, when all the traffic and shoppers swirl around me. Just a personal opinion, maybe other people enjoy it, I dont.
I'm not saying everything has to be a direct action to be worthy, but something like the Halowe'en tour around the bankers hotspots might work better. How about an "IE-Uncut" style education tour along Grafton Street or Henry Street some Saturday - assemble in a group sitting on the street outside the various banks, let people know how much of their tax money has gone to propping them up, and so on. Vodafone and Topshop have shops in Dublin too (tax avoiders!).
Think it needs to be borne in mind that RDNI is still in the very early stages of organising. It has had a few protests, but has not had time to develop a coherent message that addresses the specific problem of democracy in the Irish context. How successful it turns out to be will depend on how well it communicates that message.
There is a basic point to the Spanish campaign that served to mobilise everyone. And it is this: you cannot talk about democracy when power rests with the few, not the many. Anything else -and this of course encompasses the Irish situation- is fake democracy.
And if you agree with democracy, then events such as an EU-IMF-ECB bailout are ipso facto illegitimate and must be actively opposed, obstructed, stymied and overturned. Not only that, but people occupying positions of power -whether in government, business, or media circles- who use democracy as an alibi in order to partake in this robbery -whether through claims of 'getting our sovereignty back' or claiming that the government has the right to force through austerity measures simply because it was elected- are exercising power illegitimately and must be stripped of that power.
So we shall see how it goes. Personally I think it has a lot of potential.
