offsite link 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.

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.

Great free event

This year's May Day labour history school is very exciting. From a celebration of the Canal Navies to the great Jimmy Kelly (brother of the late Luke), from an exhibition of rare canal worker's archive to a History Ireland Hedge School debate... What ever happened to the Citizen's Army
May Day May Day
May Day May Day

Following the success of last year’s event the organisers of Athy’s May Day Festival have decided to extend the festival into a two-day event, beginning on Saturday 30th
April of the May Public Holiday weekend and continuing into Sunday 1st May.
This year’s event combines music, a photographic exhibition and a History
Ireland Hedge School, exploring the radical leftist/republican tradition in Irish History.
On the 200th anniversary of the foundation of the Inland Barrow Navigation scheme,
we also look at the life of the original Irish Navvy, with particular focus on the impact
of the opening-up of the Grand Canal on Athy and its surroundings. Music will be
provided on Saturday night by Jimmy Kelly (Luke’s much acclaimed younger brother)
and Tom Crean. All are welcome to the picturesque town of Athy where you will be sure to meet a most eclectic bunch, enjoy the activities and celebrate the dawn of the summer.
SATURDAY 30th APRIL
12pm-4.00pm:
A photographic Exhibition commemorating the
workers who built the canals and the boatmen
who transported the goods throughout the canal
network.
2pm-2.15pm:
Official Opening of the Festival by the Mayor of
Athy
2.15pm-4.00pm:
A series of talks examining the socio-economic
and cultural impact that the opening of the
canals had on provincial life. The typical life of
the early Navvies and boatmen will be brought
to life, and the struggle for improvement in conditions
leading to early Trade Union formation
will also be explored.
8.00pm:
A concert of Labour and Workers’ songs,
featuring two of Dublin’s well-known balladeers,
Tom Crean and Jimmy Kelly. The concert will be
preceded by a Wine Reception at 7.30pm.

SUNDAY 1st MAY
3.00pm:
History Ireland’s Hedge
School: ‘Whatever
Happened to the Citizen
Army?’
We have the pleasure of hosting History Ireland’s
successful Hedge School series. The round table
discussion will trace the history of the radical Left
Republican tradition in Irish history.
The panel will consist of:
Brian Hanley:
St Pat's, Drumcondra (co-author of The Lost
Revolution: A History of the Workers Party
and the Official IRA)
Eoin O’Broin:
Sinn Fein
Fergus Whelan:
ICTU (author of Dissent into Treason)
Jack O'Connor:
President of SIPTU.
The panel will be chaired by Tommy Graham
of History Ireland.
