Trump hosts former head of Syrian Al-Qaeda Al-Jolani to the White House Tue Nov 11, 2025 21:01 | 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 Fri Oct 31, 2025 23:44 | 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.

Assisted Suicide Will Poison the British Culture of Care Mon Sep 07, 2026 19:00 | Simon Cavadino
Old people in care homes regularly say "Oh I just want to die", but they almost never mean it, says Simon Cavadino. The danger of assisted suicide is staff will start to treat them like they do.

Fianna Fail controlled Rte lunch time news said that there were Three times as many people there to buy his book than there were protesters. You will get the same propaganda as SHell to Sea or any legitimate people against crime it does not comply with their ethics.
WELL DONE FOLKS KEEP UP THE FIGHT AGAINST EVIL REGARDLESS.
Our government speaks out of both sides of its mouth and every other orifice because they are out of the same mould as Blair and Israel.
the ordinary people of ireland do not support blair but the voice of the ordinary is never heard through the thick red tape of impossible procedure and of course the final gloss of media coverage..mate it is all about business deals..
................................OUR Day Will Come ..........................
tony blair is not an evil man,(although his comments on israel are way out of line)just a very misguided one,maybe that has a lot to do with his stout christian beleifs..
"tony blair is not an evil man,(although his comments on israel are way out of line)just a very misguided one,maybe that has a lot to do with his stout christian beleifs.."
Sure as an individual he is a charming charlie, does not escape the objective facts that he profits from misery:
- His unpaid but expenses-rich role as the West's "peace envoy" in the Middle East, Blair is, in effect, a voice of Israel, which awarded him a $1 million "peace prize." In other words, his wealth has grown rapidly since he launched, with George W. Bush, the bloodbath in Iraq. Since stepping down as prime minister in 2007, he has accumulated an estimated £20 million, much of it as a result of his ties with the Bush administration.
- Documents released by the High Court show that Blair allowed British citizens to be abducted and tortured
- Blair conspired in and executed an unprovoked war of aggression against a defenseless country, which the Nuremberg judges in 1946 described as the "paramount war crime."
- Over one million butchered
- Four million Iraqis have been forced to flee their homes and a majority of children have descended into malnutrition and trauma.
- Cancer rates near the cities of Fallujah, Najaf, and Basra (the latter "liberated" by the British) are now revealed as higher than those at Hiroshima. "UK forces used about 1.9 metric tons of depleted uranium ammunition in the Iraq war in 2003," the Defense Secretary Liam Fox told parliament on 22 July.
Well done folks peace be with you.

The Late Late Show: Tony Blair on being called a 'war criminal'

Good work, vid.
It says a lot about RTE's so called impartiality when Murdoch's scum Sky News gave a fairer report on the protest.
They are just media lackeys.
Well done to all. The British media are covering this quite alot so its making quite and impact here and big congrats to Kate as well. Going out on her own takes bravery and guts.
Couldn't help but flinch to see Rich BB in the Anti-war movement bib though. Was the March predominantly SWP or was it multi-group led? It would be great to see anti-war reinvogorated by different groups in dialogue rather than some of the old imposed leadership.
It is a disgrace that shops had to close down and lose business and the whole of O'Connell St blocked off to entertain a war criminal.
It was also a disgrace to witness members of An Garda Síochána laughing sneering at all members of the protest group who quite rightly spoke out against Blair, and to see other soul-less motherfuckers in the SDU (who I hate just as much as Blair) pointing out decent Irish people in the crowd who were protesting - when they were protecting a fucking war criminal behind them!
For readers of French here's a link to Le Monde's account, with picture, of the street responses to Blair's book signing at Easons. A Kate O'Sullivan demonstrator is quoted.

Citizens arrests, requests taken
They tried to do this to Henry Kissinger. Arrest the people still in the action.
A good protest though.
Some more pics of the protest here.

I can see the point of the protest ,but my biggest problem is understanding why now,when he is out of government,this does not have the media impact it could have(although it did get the message across),such as a cake throwing while he was in the political chair?he had many other visit to our emerald isle before now,such as the when he was building peace relations in the north of ireland?
We need to establish how much the state (ie you and me) will have to fork out to cover the cost of butcher blair's visit. the gardai, the gardai snipers, the compensation to the Luas etc. a scandal.
as for richard b b in his anti-war bib: it brings out his babyface features, dont u think?
time people stopped squabbling and got active on peace matters. there are other peace groups active around the country, Shannon watch, Derry and of course the people who highlighted the Blair visit on indymedia the Galway Alliance Against War. Why not set up a peace group in your community and get burrowing.

This fellow spent three hours videoing the protestors on Saturday morning.
We're not far off a police state.
Special Branch Man who spent 3 hours videoing the protestors
Gardaí are subject to the same rule of law as other citizens.
Their actions must be deemed to fall within the concept of “minimum force”.
All actions carried out by gardaí must be justifiable, preventative and satisfy stringent legal requirements.
Gardaí may use batons to strike protesters who threaten the safety of gardaí, other protesters or bystanders.
Gardaí may also use force to prevent damage to property or to disperse crowds where safety is an issue.
Will the Garda Ombudsman Office ask about this? What do you think?
Of course The Garda Ombudsmans office will ask about this , that is the reason they are in place, ( to ask questions )
However it doe's not mean that anything positive will be done about it ,( as in to satisfy our collective guilty expectations )
It simply means what it says , ''mind your own business , this is in the interest of national security '' , so eff off ]
Tony Blair has suggested on #daybreak and skynews he may cancel a planned book signing event in London - after trouble at a similar event in Dublin.
Good photos Stephen.
I was at the protest and I was infuriated by the way the anti-war protestors were treated by the gardaí and the SDU. As I looked around, I saw many decent individuals who have been on these protests for many years getting battered and that really pissed me off. The fact that I saw some members of An Garda Síochána laughing and sniggering at committed and well respected decent anti-war activists who spoke out really angered me, and the SDU pointing out decent Irish protestors in the crowd made by blood boil, whilst they protected a man responsible for the deaths of countless numbers of people.
The fact that there were stupid Irish people queuing to get his book really pissed me off as well!
In saying all that, I wish to apologise for the extremely offensive language I used earlier to describe members of the SDU, whilst I hate the underhand, extremely unpatriotic, and often times murderous tactics of this group, the words I used to describe them were extremely offensive and meaningless and totally out of character for me (I have been under a lot of stress lately and there has been too many negative events recently that have really angered me). I apologise wholeheartedly for using such unnecessary and offensive language.
I should also clarify that I hate the decision Blair made to go to war and I do believe that this bad decision makes him a 'war criminal' and no better than Sadam Hussein.
I would recommend that Blair's book be moved to the 'Crime' section in Easons, it would do better there!
It would have been far cheaper for us tax payers if everyone had stayed at home
And the internet server farms of the world would release far less harmful greenhouse gases if hasbara bots stayed off the internet Sean!!

agree absolutely Sean Og, and it would be far cheaper for us taxpayers if we dispensed with elections, trade unions, public healthcare, fire brigades, libraries and pretty much everything else that distinguishes us from the middle ages.
Often articles like this just increase book sales. It's viral marketting. So Please if you are reading this, DONT play into the viral marketters hands and buy this assholes book as you are giving him money. People like him should not be rewarded for their crimes. If you take one thing from reading this, let it be DO NOT BUY THIS STUPID BOOK!
(if you must read it to see how bad it is then I suggest you find a pirated copy online and download it. That way you aren't giving him anything)
Here's a link to the torrent for the book so nobody has to buy it now
