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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNEoOvMd8-Q
Also it very interesting according to wikipedia, how many dictators they funded... Have a look:-

Sure what would we do without the French?

I know the funny oath and I know where to find it for certain.
(Orangemen are not exactly good poets.)
While I'm browsing the books for it meantime,
Sing along:
"Then said King William to his men after the French departed
I'm glad, said he that non of ye seem to be faint-hearted;
So sheath your swords and rest awhile , in time we'll follow after
These words he uttered with a smile the day he crossed the water.
Come let us all with heart and voice applaud our lives defender
Who at the Boyne his valor showed and mad his for surrender
To God above, the praise we ll give now and ever after,
And bless the glorious memory of...
King William that crossed the water "
of the song, the IMF, there is an interesting piece in Haaretz on the Davos schmooze-in, where they give an IMF assessment to the effect that-
'..the six biggest banking groups in America control assets equal to about 65% of GDP, up from 56% before the crash, and 15% in 1995. The banks are even declaring intentions of expanding further around the world. Evidently, nobody has the political clout to stop them. '
I didn't find the book in the attic but I found it on the internet.

You may have it on the shelf somewhere.
By Jill and Leon Uris.
The Orangeman's toast is in that book.
(Neither of them disguised their distaste for Orangemen.)
Jill and Leon Uris Published the book in about 1975.
It's up there in the attic.
I know it is.
Now how do I get up there?
Me old man in 2011.

A simple lie:
"The six biggest banking groups in America control assets equal to about 65% of GDP".
No they don't.
American economics is about mechanics who can rip the defective gear box out of your car and repair it.
Bankers and accountants shuffle money around which was created by the makers-of-machines.
Contrast the technologist Bill Gates to the thick-as-a-brick financial crowd who dragged Western Civilisation to its present sorry pass.
Most accountants cannot change a tyre.
..are about neo-con projects for another US century of global domination of resources,as all empires aspire, according to the world as they see it.
To a large extent US economic 'health' is dependent on DARPA and weapons development driven by the pork-barrel clientelism of lobby liaised tax-extraction from the bottom upwards to the mega-corporations shifting the profits into their networks of offshore havens where it is shaken and stirred with blackmarket arms lucre and drugs profits for speculating in globalised state-of-the-art real-time futures and commodity markets for a shrinking pool of sharks sucking the livlihoods of ordinary workers into the most profitable location(cubed)s for further recycling and 'creative-destructive' amplification.
And I know several accountants who are handy mechanics. But they dont tend to trumpet themselves as -ologists.
I gave you figures and a source to check. Haaretz is not normally associated with being inimical to high-finance. If you can invalidate the data with credible evidence I will accept it. Till then, hold your insults.
"To a large extent US economic 'health' is dependent on DARPA and weapons development."
True enough.
The development of computers (and every other branch of technology.) was spurred on by the Second World War.
(Nothing matches a good ol' all-out war to get the brain cells spinning.)
"Necessity is the Mother of invention"
Nope.
In War:
"Desperation is the mother of invention."
