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.

The Rise of Toxic Femininity Thu Jan 22, 2026 20:47 | Will Jones
2025 was the year of moral panic about 'toxic masculinity', summed up in TV?s Adolescence. But the data, far from showing that men are being radicalised by the Right, show that women are being radicalised by the Left.

Right-Wing Parties Must Stop Indulging the Proponents of Censorship Thu Jan 22, 2026 15:45 | Dr James Allan
The Right is being hampered in its stand against censorship and 'hate speech' laws by its indulgence of too many in its own ranks who support clampdowns on free speech. Time to draw a clear line, says Prof James Allan.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Not only is the idea to hold a pig race barbaric, but the fact that it has even been suggested, reflects badly on the town of naas as a whole, the council in particular. It portrays us as uncivillised and inhumane. To exploit these animals for ''entertainment'' not only degrades the pigs, but the town itself, and can only serve to lower public opinion of us. We are in the 21st century, proposing an event which would be more suited to medievel times.
The race was held every Punchestown week by young jockeys riding down the main street. It was over in 3 minutes or less. Most of the jockeys were thrown off within seconds. As a local tradition it was harmless and drew a local crowd. Then in about 1996 the town council banned it for insurance or PC reasons.
Indymedia.ie is full of stories about local life being swamped or homogenized by city folks with their industries / motorways / shopping centres / belief systems / supply chains. What hypocracy to want to homogenize us here in Kildare, when we have had to take Dublin's garbage for years. When we want to be left alone to do our own thing some townie will always come along and interfere.
I'm against coursing and hunting, against painful slaughter and keeping of animals etc., but for this race. My grandfathers watched it nearly a century ago and I hope my grandchildren will too.
The event has been approved by the Kildare branch of the ISPCA, and a vet and a pig farmer will be on hand. The pigs never got injured and that is why it continued. What farmer would lend a pig to the race if it was going to be injured?
Along with many of our residents, many of our TDs in Kildare - like Emmet Stagg - were not born in the county and would know little about its past.
The race did not use real pigs, it were people dressed in pig suits of some sort racing on all fours!
The race was cancelled using real animals years ago (which I totally agree with).
Opposed to exploiting pigs! Indeed. A great champion of the vulnerable of course.
With no harm to the pigs and with all risk assessment being covered to both pigs and humans ( should that be the other way around) do you not think that it would be good for us mere mortals to just get on and enjoy life without picking holes. If you have enough time to do that, try and help cancer victims, stroke victims etc instead of championing the cause of something else.
