For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Can the Tories? Junking of Net Zero Be Trusted? Tue Sep 02, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile

There appears to be documentation on a long list of drone strikes here: http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/01/11/obama-2...ikes/
From the same site there is a report at http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/02/04/obama-t...rals/ titled: "Covert Drone War Obama terror drones: CIA tactics in Pakistan include targeting rescuers and funerals" and this was reported in the Sunday Times earlier in 2012 and it goes on to say:
The CIA’s drone campaign in Pakistan has killed dozens of civilians who had gone to help rescue victims or were attending funerals, an investigation by the Bureau for the Sunday Times has revealed.
The findings are published just days after President Obama claimed that the drone campaign in Pakistan was a ‘targeted, focused effort’ that ‘has not caused a huge number of civilian casualties.’
Speaking publicly for the first time on the controversial CIA drone strikes, Obama claimed last week they are used strictly to target terrorists, rejecting what he called ‘this perception we’re just sending in a whole bunch of strikes willy-nilly’.
‘Drones have not caused a huge number of civilian casualties’, he told a questioner at an on-line forum. ‘This is a targeted, focused effort at people who are on a list of active terrorists trying to go in and harm Americans’.
But research by the Bureau has found that since Obama took office three years ago, between 282 and 535 civilians have been credibly reported as killed including more than 60 children. A three month investigation including eye witness reports has found evidence that at least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes when they had gone to help victims. More than 20 civilians have also been attacked in deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners.
More info on drone strikes can be found at the link below and their direct and indirect effects can be found at the link below.
And the key info for Yemen is:
US Covert Action in Yemen 2002–2013
Total confirmed US operations (all): 54-64
Total confirmed US drone strikes: 43-53
Possible extra US operations: 128-150
Possible extra US drone strikes: 70-86
Total reported killed (all): 374-1,077
Total civilians killed (all): 72-171
Children killed (all): 27-35
Among the attacks was one by the United Baluch Army. I wonder if the explosives were supplied by the CIA for use in Iran?
Pakistani paramilitary soldiers were also targeted Thursday as a bomb hit a commercial area in Quetta. The blast killed twelve people and wounded 40 more, police said. Insurgent separatist group United Baluch Army told local journalists that they were behind the attack.
