offsite link 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.

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.

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.

Thousands take to Letterkenny streets to defend health services

Thousands marched to defend health services at Letterkenny hospital from going under the knife. Anger and hurt was clearly evident on the streets of Letterkenny as pensioners and workers most vulnerable to any cuts in health services brought traffic to halt.

From the save Donegal health Services campaign:

"The Save Donegal Health Services today called upon the government to listen very carefully to the thousands of people who spoke with one voice today calling for a change of strategy by the decisions makers in Ireland on the lack of funding for our health service. Thousands of Donegal people shouted loud and clear they will not tolerate further cuts in health services in Donegal. We call upon all political representatives to heed the peoples voice, because if they ignore them it will be at their peril.

Our group which is not even two weeks old came together out of a shared sense of anger and frustration as to the effects of the cuts already in place, the impending cuts for this year and the threatened 600 million euro to be taken from the budget to keep Irish people alive. stated spokesperson for the group Martin O'Rourke SIPTU and Impact concerned about the savage cuts in Home Support Service, the Review of Lifford, the Shiel and the Community Hospitals, the proposed privatisation of the Laundry Service, the loss of services in the hospital and the loss of around 100 jobs with the resulting loss of many additional services in the county.invited the IMNO , all the local health campaign groups and also invited all the Donegal Oireachtas members to this important meeting in the SIPTU Office in Letterkenny to best determine how we might save Donegal lives and cease the pain and human misery caused by the savage health cuts.

Only two members of the Oireachtas made them selves available for the meeting Senator Pearse Doherty of Sinn Fein and Dinny McGinley TD of Fine Gael. Both politicians stated they were not present to score political points but were there to best ensure Donegal People were in a position to have an adequate health care system. Both political leaders have given their time, energy and commitment freely and have refrained from making party political statements on the health issue since joining "Save Donegal Health Care". Added Mr O'Rourke.

The Save Donegal Health Care Committee which was formed at that meeting have agreed to be a non political community based organisation with the objective of securing an adequate health care system in Donegal and ensure the people providing that care were treated with dignity and respect. However we are also mindful it is politicial decisions which decide how many people will die on waiting lists added Mr O'Rourke Today with the turnout of Donegal people in their thousands the committee became a peoples movement with a shared objective of securing a health care system worthy of Donegal people.

The Committee would like to thank all the people who gave their afternoon to ensure the committee is best placed to shape a better more adequate and fairer health care system in Donegal. We thank all the right thinking people who gave up their Saturday to help us build a better future for Donegal. We intend to meet early next week to agree stage two of the campaign, among the items under discussion will be a public meeting where all political parties will be invited to send a spokesperson on what their party strategy is to reverse the cuts and to ensure an adequate health care system.
