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.

BBC Fact-Checking Show More or Less Gets its Climate Facts Wrong Again Thu Jan 15, 2026 09:00 | Chris Morrison
The BBC's fact-checking show More or Less gets its climate facts wrong again. Hampered by the broadcaster's political commitment to 'settled science' the show is stuffed with false claims galore, says Chris Morrison.

Even More Examples of Funding Going to Migrant Charities Thu Jan 15, 2026 07:00 | Charlotte Gill
It gets worse the deeper down you dig, says Charlotte Gill, as she uncovers another ?47 million of taxpayers' money that has gone to migrant charities in the past five years. Why are we funding the open borders brigade?

Ed Miliband?s Most Brazenly Dishonest Claims Yet Wed Jan 14, 2026 19:00 | Paul Homewood
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!

As ?Net? Migration Drops to Zero Don?t Be Fooled Wed Jan 14, 2026 17:31 | Will Jones
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.

Cowen didn't sound drunk to me, he was just talking out through the top of his head as usual. This government is determined to ensure that the most vulnerable will carry the can for their mess and their wealthy friends will have their wealth protected. Has anyone met an ex-developer on the dole lately? No amd you won't-most are off in the South of France sunning themselves.
He sounds more slurry as the interview goes on for sure, hungover probably and certainly boring and disinterested. But he always sounds like this doesn't he?
No doubt there is plenty of spare cash in HIS wagepacket to buy lots of overpriced irish drink for all the boys. Seems we have our very own Boris Yeltsin, drunkenly standing by at the rape of our public services and the future indentured servitude of what few of the next generation foolishly remain in this country after the bloated bank bailouts. Plus ca change. Don't you just love capitalism. Where is OUR Vladimir Putin to save us from the brink before it's too late? That's what I want to know!!
I have stipulated this point before & i will state it just one more time .
The electorate of ireland were forewarned about FIANNA FAILURE before the last general
election took place ,
The people of ireland elected these cowboys ( and cowgals ) into office .
You deserve everthing they throw at you , and more .
Brian Cowan was drunk in the morning Ireland interview.
He was still drunk when he was confronted by Ursula Halligan later on.
Cowen and a frightening number of his fellow front benchers have huge problems with drink.
Perhaps they should all be required to give a urine test every morning before being allowed into Dail Eireann. A live television link perhaps into the Dail Bar?
What is this nonsense new word "socialising" when what is actually meant is "drunk out of their minds"?
Brian Cowen Galway drinking parody song, absolutely hilarious. Enjoy :)
I had the privilage of interviewing Taoiseach, Mr. Brian Cowen, T.D . And i have to say he is a pure gentleman . He sort of talks that way . its the way he talks . so i think mr coveny was way out of line .I think its a cheap shot

"so i think mr coveny was way out of line .I think its a cheap shot"
more like 10 cheap shots! That is assuming of course if you are on a ridiculous salary like his which is apparently larger than that of the US president. For normal folk thanks to cowan and his ilk, there is no such thing as a cheap shot at over 4 euro each.
The saying goes, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. But here in Ireland the laws of physics just seem to have broken down. We pay wayyy too much, we get cowan and coughlan. I guess that's einstien's theory of evolution for you, eh mary?
I think the fianna fail politicians suffer from a form of dyslexia. when they saw "think in" on the program, they assumed it to be "drink in"
Throw all these drunken idiots into re-hab and remedial teaching and elect some qualified people who have been trained in the areas that they are in charge of instead of these stupid ad hoc appointments of drunken buffoons and scheisters for political gain.
In most jobs you are expected to know a lot about what you are doing. cowen is just wandering about waffling and half pissed from one meeting to the next while the banks and their pals run rings around them and rip us all off laughing. 50 billion takes a long time to pay off. Cowan will be long gone by then on a nice fat pension and it will be too late. Somebody mentioned Boris Yeltsin. I think it is a very apt comparison. The west helped install a drunken buffoon to distract and facilitate them while they robbed the russian people blind as their country collapsed.
@ jackthestroller Yes indeed, a gintleman and accomplished charming waffler. He managed not to give a commitment about the future of that Mullingar greenfield development site, and he pushed the right local folksy button in praising the cultural achievement of the late Joe Dolan. Brian Cowen is a natural populist waffler and the Carr Communications people couldn't teach him anything he hasn't already learned naturally from buttering up middle Ireland over the years.
Have to agree with Sceptic that the voters who supported FF in the last election can stew in their own juice. If you don't like the stew you can change the flavour cubes at the next general election. Not that a FG-Lab administration will necessarily result in happier economic times for the bemused electorate. We'll stew whatever crowd form the next government.
Cowen dodged the question asked at the end of the interview regarding Galway youth being robbed of their future in Ireland due in large part to his party's mismanagement of Ireland's economy.. Cowen's answer flies in the face of economists who talk about Ireland in the same breath as Greece - at the bottom of the indebtedness pool. The Galway graduate knew that her only hope was to migrate or be weighed down with despair along with alienated youth 'wandering the streets.'
Perhaps, Cowen felt that he needed a drink before answering tough questions from journalists about Ireland's economic future. Cowen's answer to the recent Galway graduate was to blast "defeatism," thus ridiculing youth who do feel defeated and despairing about the economic hand they have been dealt by Cowen's policies and inaction, and the crippling monetary burden their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will inherit for generations to come.
