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.

In Britain, pensioners are fined because their waste paper fell out of an overflowing bin, but fly-tipping crime-gangs dump tonnes of waste and get off scot-free. It's the epitome of anarcho-tyranny, says Steven Tucker.

Racists heckle last night's Afghan solidarity vigil. Where was the Left?

Kids standing by their schoolmates face racist abuse

Racist Hecklers

This evening's anti-war vigil outside St Patrick's Cathedral attracted roughly 30 to 40 participants, including a number of schoolkids who had maintained a presence since 2pm. Just before the vigil began, one of these kids fainted and had to be removed by ambulance for medical attention.

Throughout the vigil - and for some time before - those there in solidarity, including the schoolkids, were subjected to repeated taunts, abuse and racist chants from a group of local teenagers.

The number of people who turned out for the vigil was disappointing. Members of Anti-War Ireland, Cosantoiri Siochana, Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Pitstop Ploughshares, WSM, Grassroots Dissent, Residents Against Racism, and other groups, were present. Many activists, however, were conspicuous by their absence. Especially disappointing was the non-appearance of many anti-war and socialist activists, who one would expect to be there. Certainly, some activists had prior engagements - or had turned out for the 12.30pm vigil - and some had sent their apologies in advance. However, that goes nowhere near explaining the poor turnout both last night and tonight. Where are the activists from the so-called 'far-left' parties? The non-appearance of members of mainstream parties is scarcely surprising, but where is Ireland's revolutionary left?

This absence, in my opinion, needs to be explained. One depressing outcome of the poor solidarity has been the growing confidence of a racist minority. Last night, one lone nutcase paraded with a 'Send the Taliban Back!' placard; tonight a sizeable gang of racists youths persistently harrassed those standing vigil. A number of the kids, there to support their schoolmate, were almost in tears as they faced repeated shouts of racial abuse. It was an ugly situation that could have descended into violence.

The only way to face down such behaviour is for anti-war, socialist and anti-racist activists to mobilise, to build the vigil, and to make the racist minority irrelevant by sheer weight of numbers. As things stand, the left and sections of the anti-war movement are failing in their duty to extend tangible solidarity to the Afghan hunger strikers. It doesn't matter whether people support the tactic used; the men's demands are entirely reasonable and must be visibly supported. Words of support are not enough; activists must attend the vigils.

The solidarity vigils will continue daily at 12.30pm and at 6.30pm. It is absolutely essential that people turn up for both these events. What happened tonight cannot be allowed to happen again! Our numbers will make these people irrelevant, so be there at 6.30pm tomorrow night, and every night thereafter!
