 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.

press release
 Friday March 05, 2010 14:41 by Fred Johnston - The Western Writers' Centre - Ionad Scríbhneoirí Chaitlín Maude - Galway westernwriters at eircom dot net Canavan House, Nuns Island, Galway, Ireland 087.2178138
Gort, Co. Galway, highlighted in short film
Sponsors and venue operators get limelight in literary festival video for Gort's literary festival, March 26th and 27th
 Yuki Nishioka, who will play at The Forge at Gort festival, March 26 & 27 It was a simple thing to do. But now the video promoting the third 'Forge at Gort' literature festival has jumped around the world. The video shows Gort and some of the venues for the festival, each of them 'labelled' with names of participants.
"Gort has been generous to us," says Fred Johnston, Director of the Western Writers' Centre. But we've also had 'Friends' of the Centre joining up from the US. It's very encouraging."
The festival is sponsored by Minihan's Supervalu, Gort, Galway County Council, Drew Logan (USA), The Arts Council and Poetry Ireland, as well as Knute Skinner, Edna Kiel, Noel Monahan, Pat O'Callaghan and others. This, says Johnston, is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the real reason for the Western Writers' Centre's existence, the promotion of writing at every level. We have storytelling, poetry, novel writing, workshops, performance poetry: we squeeze into a couple of days as much as a week might accomodate. We're very happy this year to have Rab Fulton, storyteller, with us too. The festival is a credit to the people of Gort."
"Last year when we were crippled by the Arts Council's removal of our Programming Grant, poets and writers came together and said we'll have a festival in spite of it and we did, and great musicians joined them, and local support too. I was overwhelmed by what happened, the sheer generosity of spirit, the great support it showed for the Centre and the festival, and this came directly from writers and other artists. Art and music happened because of the artists, which is the way it's always been. It was as if there was a voice declaring 'No, this negativity simply isn't on any more.'
"Back in Galway city, we've had to contend with the apathy of the Galway City Council, in spite of our being around for eight years, and Councillors who promised support on the doorsteps then disappeared into silence and refusals to answer e-mails or letters," said Johnston. "In spite of all of this nonsense, we've produced event after event and now we have a fine line-up for Gort." In past years, the Centre was also the target of anonymous e-mails and pseudonymous correspondence sent to the Arts Council in Dublin.
Nonetheless the 'Forge At Gort' festival is set to progress by leaps and bounds, thanks to the generosity and open-spiritedness of the people of the town of Gort, Co. Galway. "We must especially thank the staff of Gort Library, who have been terrific."

Jump To Comment: 1 2The festival presents a nice line up and the video idea was a stroke of genius. Nice one.
I always thought this was a great mix. Hope the festival goes well in spite of the crassness of the arts council. Have you ever considered moving the Writers centre out of Galway? It clearly doesn't deserve it.
