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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Religion has had a free unquestioned ride for far too long. Time for it's tenets to come under serious rational scrutiny. Shine the light of reason on these ridiculous texts and watch the fat corrupt cockroaches at the top that gain prestige and unquestioned power from these structures run for cover.
In his article , The Postmodern Interpretation of Religious Terrorism , (see link below ) secular humanist ,Paul Cliteur , makes the argument that Western freedoms are under attack from religious fundamentalists, and that liberals’ attempts to appease fundamentalism in the name of cultural relativism and multiculturism threaten the very foundations upon which Western freedoms rest.
Paul Cliteur takes multiculturism to task for promoting the view that it is wrong “to invade foreign countries to export democracy and other Western ideals”. Western democratic values based on the principals of the Enlightenment should ,he argues, be a universal right available to all of humanity anywhere in the world . But adherence to the postmodern nostrums of multiculturism by often well-intentioned liberals has allowed religious fundamentalism - which functions as an indispensible ideological resource for terrorism - to take root and flourish even in the European heartlands of freedom and democracy .
Multiculturalism prevents western democratic values, such as freedom of speech, gender equality and the right to publish provocative cartoons, being insisted upon in the West. Out of fear of causing offense to religious or ethnic minorities, the rule of law which underpins our hard-won Western freedoms, gets sacrificed in order to appease those whose inflexible beliefs render them fundamentally opposed to freedom. Cultural relativism and the misguided toleration of religious intolerance have, according to Prof Cliteur , undermined the basis of western democracy , and the result can be seen across Europe in the failure -sometimes the refusal - of religious and ethnic minorities to fully integrate into modern Western democratic societies.
“Terrorism, the use of force by private actors or organizations to intimidate others to achieve political and ideological goals, is a significant menace to contemporary democracies. In the preceding decades, terrorism was perpetrated for the sake of a piece of land (geographical terrorism) or the realization of political goals (political terrorism). Nowadays, we are confronted with religious terrorism: people commit violent acts and justify their deeds with reference to religious ideas or passages of holy scripture”
