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.

Hi again , Louise !

I've no problem with you asking for me on the night - it shouldn't be necessary , ticket-wise, Louise , but I have no problem with you doing so if you want to !

Also - re the raffle to be held on the night : I have been told that there should be "two bottles of booze" (see photograph of one of same) , two bodhrons - one of which will be raffled , the other (a Celtic design) will possibly be auctioned on the night (see photograph of one of same) , two framed 1916 Proclamations (photographed) and possibly a republican t-shirt .
I don't see any problem with you and your friends getting in on the night , Louise - ticket-wise , as stated - but I can't guarantee that you or your friends will win any of the prizes in the raffle ....
;-)

Thanks again !

Sharon.

Hi !

Three more items which will be available at the ballad session :
these three will be added to the above-mentioned bodhron etc and will be with new owners by the end of the night , either by way of prizes in the raffle (of which there will be at least four) or by auction to the highest bidder .

Thanks!

Sharon -

Would it be possible for me to meet up with you or one of the other organisers before the ballad night starts with a view to buying at least two of the above prizes?
I'm prepared to pay top price , as they're for a brother of mine in America . Hope we can do business?

.....bad news :-( !

Hi Matt !

No can do , I'm afraid : I put your offer to the main organiser in Ballyfermot but he replied that it wouldn't be fair to do that , as the items in question had already been advertised , on 'Indymedia' , other sites and in the local area , as prizes and/or items to be auctioned on the night .
And the man is not for turning !

Here's 'Plan B' , Matt - for yourself and , maybe, a few others , to go to the ballad session and buy an extra large amount of raffle tickets . Not the best solution , I know - and no guarantee that you'll even win a prize - but it seems to be your last hope in regards to those particular items . You could also 'phone RSF Head Office (018729747) , which is where we sourced the prizes from , and inquire re whatever two items you were after ?

Sorry about that , Matt - I did try .

Thanks!

Sharon.

It would be bad news indeed, if it were to be announced on the night that there's no raffle prizes because a rich man named Matt turned up early and bought all the raffle prizes up - that would go down like a lead balloon alright among the audience and would give out totally the wrong message.

Play it fair, Matt, and go buy the raffle tickets like everyone else.

author by Mattpublication date Fri Mar 28, 2008 16:14author address author phone Report this post to the editors

I wasnt looking to buy all the prizes , just two of them and I'm sure RSF could have replaced them in time for the ballad session.

Thanks anyway , Sharon - I had a feeling that would be the answer but the prizes really caught my eye and I thought no harm in asking. I'll go to the ballad night anyway with a few friends and win or lose on the raffle would still like to have a word with you about buying some items like those on display , if that's ok with you ?

Hi beagáinín ar buile!
We will have at least seven items with us on the night , and I believe the organisers have agreed to let four of them go as raffle prizes , with the rest being auctioned amongst the audience .

Hi again , Matt !
I hope you and your friends have some luck with the raffle , Matt , but , win or lose , you and I can certainly have a chat , if you like . I may not be fully sober then , but we'll cross that bridge if we get to it ;-) !

Thanks!

Sharon.

we're all a little pissed off with the provos as continuing to support them now is like backing a slightly more militant sdlp

We had a fantastic night and early morning , and are looking forward to the next one !

Louise and Mairead (and Maire , David , Bren and Luke!) - glad we eventually 'bumped' into each other : I really enjoyed our little chat and still , somehow , have that little piece of paper on which I wrote your number . Will be in touch re the next gig!

Matt (and Lorraine!) - It was a pleasure to meet the two of you ; thank you for the compliment , and Andy knows to expect a call from you re the prisoner craft . Thanks for that - much appreciated !

Clarke - I hope you and your friends made it and enjoyed it . Thanks !

Sharon-
quick note to say thanks for everything .
Long time since I had a ballad night out and that was just about the best way to reintroduce myself , and Lorraine, back into that scene.
Great craic altogether - didn't win on the raffle and was outbid on the candle auction but the night out itself more than made up for it.
Was in touch with Andy and the presents for my brother are all paid for and sorted - he doesn't hang around!

Lovely talking to you and the other rsf people , Sharon - you're a credit to republicanism.
God bless.

Matt

Hi again , Matt !

Thanks for that - delighted that you and Lorraine enjoyed yourselves so much : you have a good singing voice , but Lorraine is a much better dancer than you are ;-) !

Glad that yourself and Andy have sorted the items for your brother - if he's anything like you , he's bound to appreciate them .
Keep an eye on the 'Upcoming Events' thread , Matt - we will advertise the next gig there .

Thanks again !

Sharon.
