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.
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle that restricts the body?s ability to pump blood.

Has Britain Shifted to the Right? Fri Jan 16, 2026 11:00 | Noah Carl
Britain's Rightward shift is overstated. Going from 5 seats at the last election to leading in the polls is an impressive feat from Nigel Farage?s Party, but the Left in Britain hasn?t gone away.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4So you're casting the first stone? Why shouldn't RTE and the IT report it? It says more about the mentality of Hanlon et al than reading some consultant's report. Way to go RTE and IT.
I have neither defended Hanlon nor questioned the right of RTE and the IT to report it. Just making the point that media organisations are not always examples of transparency themselves -the lucratitve non-compete contract agreed with the ex-editor of the IT and RTE's similar arrangement with Gay Byrne come to mind.
Gotta agree with Michael on this one.
The Irish Times is a lesson in abject hypocrisy.
A charitable trust that does not pay tax and pays nothing to charity. It's excessive payouts to the top brass are legendary.
And, when the readers have finished reading this "charitable" paper that publishes any tissue of lies that exagerates racism, poverty, discrimination out of all proportion - they can indulge in the best supplements in the country for multi-million euro properties and the latest S class Mercedes Benz.
RTE is a hijacker of money full stop and the compulsory nature of collecting licence fees is arguably in breach of Human Rights.
Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights says "Everyone has the right to freedom or expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by a public authority and regardless of frontiers.
This is not law but dont expect RTE to publicise THIS particular breach of human rights.
Until I had read a report a few months ago following the death of the late Irish Times editor Douglas Gageby, I had naively assumed that the conversion of the company which owned the newspaper into a charitable trust in 1974 had been solely an altruistic move to protect the newspaper from commercial interests.
In fact the buyout of the existing 5 shareholders almost sunk the newspaper. Douglas Gageby's slice was worth more than £300,000 Irish pounds- a lot of money at the time and tax free- and another shareholder who had cashed in his chips Major Tom McDowell, remained at the helm for almost the subsequent 2 decades.
A tax on capital gains was proposed in 1974 and was not enacted until 1975. (Minister for Finance Richie Ryan also made farmers liable for income tax- he was dubbed 'Richie Ruin')
