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.

Trafficking in Persons
MODERN DAY SLAVERY

Today, trafficking is a truly global industry.

During the 1980s alone, more women and children were enslaved by trafficking from Asia than all the people sold into slavery from Africa during 400 years of the slave trade.



Trafficking includes the recruitment, transfer and sale of vulnerable people – women,children and men – through various forms of coercion of deception. They are kept in bondage by the traffickers, frequently under appaling conditions. While this may be done for the purpose of cheap labour, we are particularly concerned with the trade in persons for commercial sexual exploitation.

It is difficult to be exact about the number of people trafficked because it is very much a hidden problem. It is believed that more than 1.5 million people are trafficked each year, 800,000 of them through various European countries including Ireland. The industry is said to be worth $36 billion in Europe alone. Through it, human life is reduced to a commodity and this constitutes a tragedy of huge proportions for the victims who are powerless to escape.

It is important not to confuse trafficking with smuggling of people, which refers to procuring of facilitating the illegal entry of people into another State for financial gain, usually using falce documentation. Unlike people who have been trafficked, those smuggled – once in the country – will normally be left to their own devices.
