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.

offsite link 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.

offsite link 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.

Drone victim abducted in Pakistan

Man had filed a case against CIA

Mairead Maguire has called on Pakistani Prime Minister to release Kareem Khan, whom she describes as a man of peace

Kareem Khan is a Pakistani journalist, who lost his son and brother in a US drone attack some years ago and had filed a case against the CIA station director was arrested at his home early on 5 February and has not been seen or heard of since. He was expected to brief German, Dutch and English parliamentarians in Europe on Saturday about his personal experience with drone strikes and their impact.

A legal charity, Reprieve, reported that Mr Khan was seized by 15-20 men in police uniforms. The men did not disclose their identities and no reason was given for the detention. Mr. Khan's wife and young children were present at the time, along with a neighbour.
Kareem Khan to the court on 12 February.

His brother, Asif Iqbal, a teacher, and his son Zahinullah were killed by drone strikes some years ago.

Mr Khan's lawyer Mr. Akbar said in the press release, "It is a shame that Nawaz Sharif has allowed Pakistan to be a police state, where no fundamental rights are available to its citizens. Khan is not only a victim, but an important voice for all other civilians killed and injured by US drone strikes. Why are the powers that be so scared of Kareem and his work that they felt the need to abduct him in an effort to silence his efforts? Kareem Khan deserves justice and due process and he should be freed immediately of his illegal captivity."

Mairead Maguire is one of many international figures who have called on the Pakistani Government and Prime Minister to do everything possible to ensure Mr Khan's release.

PRESS RELEASE
Nobel Peace Laureate, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, today appealed to Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan, and the Pakistani Government, to do everything possible to secure the immediate release of Mr. Kareem Khan.
Mr. Khan, a drone victim, was detained by unknown elements of the Pakistani police on 5th February, 2014, at his home in Rawalpindi, by 12 - 20 men in police uniforms and plain clothes, and has not been seen since. His wife, young children and neighbour witnessed his detention. They have been unable to locate him since.
Mr. Khan was due to travel to Europe, where he was to speak with European Parliamentarians about his personal experience with drone strikes and the impact such strikes are having on his country. Mr. Khan was involved in legal proceedings against the Pakastani Government concerning its failure to investigate the deaths of his son and brother in drone strikes.
Ms.Corrigan Maguire said:
‘I appeal the Prime Minster and Government to act immediate to secure the safety and release of Mr. Khan. His family and many of us are deeply concerned for his safety. He and his family have suffered much and since the loss of his son and his brother, by drone strikes, Mr. Khan, has been peacefully asking for an investigation into these murders by drones. Mr. Khan is a man of peace and as such deserves the respect and protection by his government and to be given his right to an investigation as he has requested. He also should be allowed his freedom of speech and to travel, all guaranteed rights under international law. ‘

Mr Khan's lawyer has issued habeas corpus proceedings which have been accepted by the High Court in Lahore. The court has ordered the police to present Mr Khan by 12 February

Kareem Khan was not presented to the Lahore Court by his kidnappers on 12 February. Instead, on 13 February, he was flung blindfolded from a van to the side of a road and ordered not to report on his treatment during his detention. Kareem said he was not afraid to speak and flew with a delegation of friends to Germany on Friday night. He will speak to parliamentarians in Germany, the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands. He reported that he had been tortured by his captors.

Two parliamentarians in Ireland had promised to work towards his release. They were among a group of about twenty to whom I had written about Kareem. They are: TD Clare Daly and Senator David Norris.
