Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
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.

2 miles from Tara, no cars fore or aft. A clear road! We're here, cars, loads of cars, all parked and silent in homage to Tara.
Back in car eating vegan soup. Made from real vegans! Diverse group on d hill. Families, pagans, druids u name it we got it! Met d sculptor John McKenna who gave me a piece of quartz. We're refueling then back to d Hill.
People coming and going. Good vibes from this embedded at Tara. Parents with young kids starting to leave. Enjoying d hazy celtic twilight. 2 many cars.
Don't know if d druids lifting of curse worked but d light has changed and a misty rain is chasing d faint hearted back to their cars.
Bit of drumming going on, more cars leaving. Behind d sound of engines, behind d rythmic drums, voices in conversation, laughter. Behind it all a comfortable all pervasive silence. Like d world holding its breath.
The lights of Navan just came on, Dalgan Park is an expanse of clam green tranquility in d fading light and a volkwagon engine struggles on d road.
Are The Bitchen Kitchen at Tara providing food? Heard they're shit hot dedicated people.
Is it poetry? Is it news? What's the story?

Cigarettes and oil companies, good work for the environment there.

Walked around d Hill. Tent villages have sprung up. Little neighborhoods. 2 types of dancing of d mound beside d grove of trees. Limbo and fire. Circle of people dancing and laughing. And the moon rises slowly behind us.
Ritual taking place on one mound. About 70 people in a circle round a fire. More people gathered on another mound, reels and jigs and hands clapping.
Fireworks and the wind is starting to freshen over Tara. Ground here easier going than SHannon and drier too. Drumming still echoing out across Tara. Moon high and full.
Sheltering against d wind in d car, flask of coffee, good chocolate and great smokables. Enigma on CD. Recharging before checking out dawn

Sun Rise!
I seem to remember once reading that an archealogical dig in the greater Tara area had found evidence that our forebears cultivated the plant hemp, that is cannabis sativa. & i'm musing on this, as I look at this year's photos of summer solstice celebrations and rituals, from Ireland above, and from Bolivia where the andean indiginous communities perform rituals with leaves from the coca plant (whence cocaine synthetically derived)
http://bolivia.indymedia.org/es/2005/06/20229.shtml
and because I generally muse on a plethora of themes simultanously, I wonder is the cultivation of cannabis sativa, really to be deemed narco-traffic production? As this week, the Zapatistas / EZLN put themselves in "red alert" over some fields of cultivated marijuana [cannabis sativa] and the Chavez government of Venezuela agree to joint efforts with the DEA (US drug enforcement agency) and FBI but not the CIA. There seem to me to be grades of problem cultivation, and my bottom line remains unaltered.
There are millions of farmers, campesinos and peasants whose children are fed, because milenial cash crops such as coca, and marijuana are grown, and indeed grow well in the land left to them after centuries worth of conquest. They are the forgotten and marginalised "citizens" (mostly only in name certainly not in equal rights) of the states of North Africa, Central America, mountainous South America, Mid Asia and SW Asia.
We do not fight problem drug use, which means heroin, cocaine and synthetic drug production by criminalising and militarising control of such peasants / campesinos/ farmers activities.
We have seen quite clearly that such action fails in Afghanistan and mid Asia, and countless people have suffered too much for cannabis, be it marijuana or hashish. Its time to TALK.
Would our world be better if there were no grass plants? I for one believe not. & I find it unacceptable that narrow social conditioning and criminalisation of first world citizens has the end effect of further marginalising the peasants, campesinos and farmers of the Cannabis production zones of this planet.
BASTA.
