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.

The Mexico Campaign and Amnesty Ireland

category international | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Tuesday May 09, 2006 03:47author by Robbieauthor email robbiesin at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

an interview with Jim Loughran, Amnesty Campaigns Manager

mp3 12 mins 128kbps phone interview with Jim Loughran on Human Rights abuses in Mexico and on the nature of Amnesty International as an organisation.

The first half of the interview is given over to the rape and murder of Mexican women, and murder of environmental activists, with at the very least, no investigation by Mexican authorities.

The next half concerns the nature of Amnesty.

Is AI a corporate charity?

IS AI apolitical?

Does AI overlook important causal factors of injustice by concentrating on symptoms (Human Rights abuses)?.

For those who won't hear the interview for whatever reason, here's a a bit of a preview to the answers to these questions.

Jim says that Amnesty's focus is on Rights-based law, be that political or apolitical. He recognizes that causal factors must be addressed, but that this is not strictly within Amnesty's remit (paraphrasing him). Amnesty is first and foremost for accountability and equality.

He says that to accuse Amnesty International of being a corporate charity is to indulge in 'doublethink'; since the organisation doesn't get funded by governments and needs to raise money to fund its investigations and Human Rights lawyers (paraphrase).

He does however, recognise that a balance has to be struck and that Amnesty Internationl should guard against becoming a corporate charity.

Interview was recorded live on Near FM's Majority World, last Thursday May 4th, at 4:30pm.
