 Trump hosts former head of Syrian Al-Qaeda Al-Jolani to the White House Tue Nov 11, 2025 22:01 | imc
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.

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.

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.

Acquitted anti-war activists to discuss Shannon demilitarisation campaign
Press Release: Tuesday, 5 September 2006
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Two of the Pitstop Ploughshares, sensationally acquitted by a Dublin jury, will discuss their campaign to "demilitarise" Shannon Airport at a public meeting in Dublin city centre on Thursday evening.
Deirdre Clancy and Ciaron O'Reilly, along with three others, were found not guilty of criminal damage in a unanimous verdict six weeks ago, despite their proud admission that they "disarmed" a US Navy jet in February 2003. This is their first public meeting in Dublin since that trial.
Shortly after the trial O'Reilly said the group's next step would be to demand that the Government remove the US military from Shannon – or he and other activists would take "non-violent direct action" to close the airport. Thursday's meeting, organised by Anti-War Ireland (AWI), is in the ATGWU Hall at 55 Middle Abbey Street at 7.30pm.
Journalist Harry Browne, like Deirdre Clancy a member of AWI, will also speak. The public meeting will be chaired by AWI member and NUI Maynooth Lecturer in Sociology Colin Coulter.
In addition, O'Reilly and Clancy will speak in Belfast next Tuesday, 12 September, in Jurys Inn on Great Victoria Street at 8pm. Colm Breathnach of AWI will join them there.
"The worst fears of the five who damaged a military aircraft and the 100,000-plus who marched in Dublin in the same month have been realised in the bloody and brutal occupation of Iraq," Harry Browne said.
Activists continue to campaign against Irish "complicity" in the ongoing US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to warn of the dangers of more of the same in Iran.
"Shannon is clearly a potential target," O'Reilly said. More than 300,000 US troops passed through the airport in the last year.
"The Fianna Fail/PD government has steadfastly supported the murderous actions of the Bush regime by facilitating its war machine at Shannon Airport," Clancy said. "Indeed, Shannon remains a hub airport for the US military on its way to war in the Middle East."
"In this context, Irish 'neutrality', if it ever existed, has been rendered null and void."
Admission to both the Dublin and Belfast meetings is free and all are welcome.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Ciaran O'reilly is absolutely correct on this one - Shannon is an obvious target for Islamic fundamentalists and, when it happens, I hope people don't pretend that it wasn't foretold. The only way to avoid this is for Ireland to disengage drom assisting a war that most Irish people oppose.
We allowed the Russians to pass through on the way to Cuba during the missile crisis. Nothing happened.
The only people responsible for any terrorist attack on Ireland will be those activists that have continually highlighted the issue of Shannon. Without that Al-Queda would not know where Ireland was.

Really? How about the US press boasting about the welcome given to their troops, and that was BEFORE the Shannon peace camp.
e.g. http://www.savannahnow.com/stories/112902/LOCLongKuwait...shtml KUWAIT-ING GAME by Noelle Phillips. from NOVEMBER 2002
The journo reports 291 troops heading for Kuwait, stopping in Shannon, staying in the Clare Inn Hotel, touring Dromoland Castle, drinking in Poachers Pub, and meeting the US Army's highest ranking officer who also happened to passing through Shannon at the time.
Where's your moral outrage for her report? It was syndicated all over the US.
It's the Irish people that this was being kept from, by our cowardly government. The US was very quick to brag about the widespread support they got from places including Ireland. Anyone plotting on hitting the US military in a soft target could read about US miltiary using Shannon in US newspapers or online, or do you think that Islamic terrorist groups don't read US new sites, only the Irish Times?
The Government has been made aware of the dangers to Shannon, and carry on because of political reasons. Hoping nothing will go wrong, and blaming the whistleblowers if it ever does is not much of a safety policy is it?
