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.

On The Run In Paris

illegal kitsch or just illegal?

While ex-Pioneer and I were recently vacationing in Paris we visited the Eiffel Tower. On the way there we noticed a group of about ten young men, perhaps arab or south asian, selling toy Eiffel Towers of various sizes hooked together by wire.

After exploring the Eiffel Tower we walked back to the Metro and found them again. Being a connoisseur of kitsch I had to buy a mini-Tower. I asked one of the men for the 1€ replica and then asked if I could take his picture.

In a blink of an eye the ten men were running away from us down the street. Soon we witnessed Paris Police in a van on the scene as the men zig-zagged across the busy street to avoid capture. The police quickly gave up.

We sense from the situation that the men were either selling Parisian kitsch illegally or living illegally in France themselves, or both.

Apparently, this is a common scene in Paris.

Moore Street of old in Dublin?

seems most likely they were selling without the required trading permit, although their own documentation could be an issue too. This kind of scenario is very commonplace. Given that these young men's documentation could be an issue, is it wise to publish their mugshots?

Saw the same thing when I was in Paris under the tower, the sellers ran but the cops half heartily walked after the sellers, knowing that if they caught one of the sellers it would mean paper work. This happened every 45 minutes. The reason why they are chased off these sellers was that the other more established traders get really pissed off when illegal traders come in and under cut their business so the police have to be seen to do something but from what I saw the cops were not really bothered in catching them just chasing them off for a while. I wouldn’t say they are illegal just chancers like Dell Boy running from the cops cos he doesn’t have a permit to sell in the market.

similar to "na spailpin fanaighi" (spailpin fanach plural?) who every day line up on placa catalonia in BCN waiting for their supply of pirate dvds.
They've come so far, to only get jobs selling beer at 1€ after hours to ryanair tourists, or sunglasses or dvds.
And they do this, coz it feeds them. And others give the m them the beer and the pitch, and the dvds and the glasses coz they're slave labour. And others chase them. And others dont think they should get a look in society. And others preach that the countries they come from need democracy. and others have seen the link between pirated wholesale import and the import of hard drugs and arms from the east. And others put it all together in a big jigsaw.
a big stupid jigsaw.
And afterwards having sold the dvds and the beer, and run down the street from the policeman the only person they identify as the enemy, do they sleep twelve to a room dreaming of the streets of europe paved in gold, and democracy, and the beautiful girl in the village and the beer she watched and the hollywood armageddon movies she loved and the porn and the sunglasses she made twelve hours a day?

Well done photos again...

Surely parisian police chief would keep denying it but that's truth, the realities of human rights ' abuses he /or french interior minister no longer cares, especially the abuses cases victimized/harrased vistors( with shengen visa/permit) and "illegal "aliens from the majority of third world countries..

That's the daily routines like "Potluck" for Parisian police.....NOWADAYSPARISIAN POLICE ALWAYS pass "an Ultimatum" kind of notice/intimidations personally to alien visitor from those countries before their visa expiry date, which's kind rude visit to their residences....
they can even interrupt your personal affairs......

Alas the legacies of President Mitterrand faded away so quickly under the french rightists'

Do see the latest film "Le promeneur du Champ de Mars"
