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.

Donnybrook Shell Station blockaded

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Friday October 06, 2006 22:07author by Jim Report this post to the editors

A large group of Shell to Sea supporters blockaded the Donnybrook Shell garage this evening for the best part of two hours. There was a a heavy garda presence that attempted unsuccessfully to break the blockade and in the end only drew more attention to the protest. Members of Anarchist Youth, Labour Youth, UCD Students Union, republicans, Irish language speakers and a large number of non aligned activists took part in the blockade.

Approximately 8 Gardai attempted to break the blockade and threatened arrest but activists stood their ground peacefully and refused to budge - so in the end the gardaí just stood around re-inforcing the numbers at the blockade. An RTE reporter and camera crew took footage and statements and there was great support from motorists and passers by. For the most part the forecourt was completely empty - when usually at rush hour the station could expect to be full.

Sorry I couldn't stay around for the blockade, but it seems like it went well. Well done to all involved.

About a dozen people - shadowed by a similar number of cops - picketted the Shell station on the Tallaght bypass last night from about 5:30 - 7:00. It was a very effective protest with only about half a dozen cars going in to the station at what would normally be a very busy time

The one at Statoil on Usher Quay went very well as well. Only a handful of cars went in, and a huge number of horns honked in support!

I expect the management of both Shell and Statoil are cracked up with laughter at you goons. Seeing as neither Shell or Statoil own the petrol stations any longer, it's hardly going hurt their bonuses!

You're missing the point entirely. None of us are foolish enough to believe that even if Shell did own the petrol stations losing the revenue from them for a couple of hours would even register as a tiny blip in Shell's profits.

The purpose of the pickets is to highlight the issue, keep it alive in the minds of people and pledge solidarity with the besieged community of North Mayo.

The station was effectively shut down for almost two hours.
Garda attempts to break the blockade were resisted-they in the end stood powerlessly by and added numbers to the 25-30 activists.
RTE showed up and did an interview as well as taking various camera shots-dunno where or if these were broadcast.
Solidarity with the people of Rossport-keep up the fight -we will stand with you!
Onward!

Between 6 and 8p.m., maybe half a dozen cars broke the picket. The rest of the time, the forecourt was largely empty, except for a small police presence.

You acknowledge that Shell don't own those garages but you picket them anyway. You are vindictively hurting the small businessman (don't forget that those are franchises) for your own sordid political gain.

author by ERRRpublication date Mon Oct 09, 2006 01:20author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Shell are the sole supplier of petrol to Shell Garages, and it's their sign outside. The Franchise holder should have given some thought to the likelihood of protest actions on his or her forecourt, given Shell's record in Africa, Ireland and elsewhere.

Damaging the Shell brand is the aim of the protests, as well as raising awareness of the situation in Erris, but if you have suggestions of where people should protest feel free to put them forward.

that are using the shell brand in order to flog their products:

stop using the shell name "for your own sordid" financial gain then.

Keep comming. Lots of lovely overtime for the Gardai. Lots of stress and ulcers for the protesters. If you are lucky a few people will sprend about 10 second sympatising with you. Then they will move onto somthing more important. Anything is more important than mayo protesters even watching paint dry. You can't win........ but keep comming....................................
