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.

simple question / having your cake and eating it reply

Saw Rodger Cole coments about Shannon/elections/Votes etc so for the crack I mailed in this question for Pat Rabbite after a phonecall to the Labour Party press office. I think it speaks for itsself.

Hi XXXXXX,

Question for Pat Rabbite as discussed on the phone.

Will the Labour Party be making the withdrawal of the use of Shannon by the US Military a precondition of entry into any future coalition government?

Thanks,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (1 of indymedia.ie)

Verbatim e- mail Reply:

Quote from Labour Spokesperson

"The Labour Party is opposed to the use of Shannon Airport by the US Military for the purposes of the illegal war on Iraq.

Labour is totally opposed to the use of Shannon by the US, or any other, military for military purposes not sanctioned by the United Nations.

No negotiations have begun with any other political party on agreeing a platform before the next General Election.

However, the Labour Party will make our position on this issue absolutely clear when that time comes."

At a public meeting in UCD hosted by the Labour Party Pat Rabbitte was asked if Labour was in government would they stop the use of Shannon by the U.S. military. He unequivocally answered yes.

If FG where to put the foot down on the issue of Shannon , it is questionable whether the LP would push for the withdrawal of US troops. The Indecisive nature of the party lately makes it hard to judge, but the 'play it safe policy' which will mean (and has been the case) little if any radical policy pronouncements in the run up to the next election, (in case they may scare off the centre/FG vote) doesn’t give those advocating a withdrawal of facilities much confidence.

Look at the short thrift Deputy D. Higgins got, they didn't want him rocking the boat in the advance of a cosy pact with FG. Imagine Michael D getting the airwaves for 2 months, you wouldn't know what left wing statements he might make. No doubt much of this would have been in sharp contrast to the beliefs of FG, in particular their foreign and international policies. Furthermore if FG were in power at the moment, there would be Irish Forces in Iraq at the moment, with the likes of Mr. Deasy as Minister for Defence!

If Labour go into government with FG they'll have all sorts of pressure from the right, that's obvious. How steady they stand against this pressure depends on us -- you and me -- over here on the left.

an in government labour party would be pressured to fudge over this issue, he only saying that cos hes in 'opposition'

'an unequivical yes', would he answer so unequivically to a wider audience?

Firstly, Labour will do whatever they have to in order to stay in power with the blueshirts as they have always done. Spring pulled the plug on Reynolds and FF in 1994 because one of his mates didn't get a plum job and perhaps due to murkier reasons around the peace process. Rabbitte is even less trustworthy as evidenced by his own political history. The only thing he beleives in is himself and his career. As for Labour's integrity being dependnet on "us". How? What can anyone do to prevent any party in power doing as they please?

Pat has answered this question repeatedly He's answered it in front of the media, in front of party members and non-members alike.
