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.

Ed Miliband has made his most brazenly dishonest claims yet, says Paul Homewood. A press release states that new wind power will be cheaper than gas. But that's only because a big chunk of gas 'costs' are carbon taxes!

Net immigration is headed to zero this year, but don't be fooled. Inward migration is still eye-wateringly high. The 'net' figure is only going down because so many young Brits are fleeing Starmer's Britain.

Make Poetry History

category laois | arts and media | event notice author Wednesday April 26, 2006 14:46author by Mark Cauthor address CBS Tower Hill, Portlaoise Report this post to the editors

Portlaoise Gets Ready To "Make Poetry History"

On Tuesday, May 2nd, at 8:30 pm, Kavanagh's pub in Portlaoise will hold what is believed to be the town's first night of a live performance of poetry; what makes this night unique is that all poems being performed are unpublished and have not been read to an audience before.

By doing this, the poets in question intend to be making history regarding poetry in the Portlaoise area – not making history of poetry, as the title of the night might suggest.

Reading on the night will be Mark Conroy – an English teacher at CBS Tower Hill, David Walshe – a Leaving Cert. student at CBS Tower Hill, and Dr Derek Coyle – a lecturer in English Literature and Irish Studies at St Patrick's college in Carlow.

Topics that will be covered by the poets will include the war on terror, the idea and purpose of education, issues of identity, and questions of authority, amongst others.

The night is open to all members of the public (and private); and of course, Admission is FREE.

Sorry if any females are offended but the list of readers as published is the list that will be reading.

The night is a very small gig, organised by myself (although it wasn't very hard to do: just asked the bar owner if we could have his upstairs room on a quite night so that myself, one of my students (it's an all boys school: perhaps you could complain to the Board or Management about that), and also my post-graduate supervisor to read some poems to what will no doubt be a small audience).

If a future night is booked I, and I am sure David and Derek, have no problems with females poets reading.

Is there a female of the womanly persuasion on that list?
Anywhere?

or do we not engage fully with these issues. print the full list and then I suggest you invite a woman to recite.
Thank you. Chris
