Harmful substances discovered in masks distributed to schools in Swiss canton

An association of concerned parents from the Italian-speaking Swiss canton of Ticino had face masks analyzed and published the worrying report.

In September 2020 and January 2022 , the magazine K-Tipp published analyzes of FFP2 masks. These revealed that all masks examined contained pollutants that can cause headaches, skin irritation and respiratory irritation. Some of these substances, such as dimethylacetamide and toluene, are even suspected of damaging fetuses and fertility in women.

In Ticino, the wearing of a mask has also been compulsory for elementary school students since January 10. That is why the Association of Concerned ParentsGenitorInformaTI had its own analysis carried out in a German special laboratory based on the findings of K-Tipp, as reported on its website. This was made possible thanks to a call for donations from the association. Masks distributed to schools in Ticino were examined.

The analysis revealed that both Swiss and Chinese masks contain problematic substances like those mentioned by K-Tipp. So it cannot be said that the masks are harmless, GenitorInformaTI underlined on their website.

According to the analysis, the substances contained in the masks distributed to schools in Ticino can also irritate the respiratory tract and cause allergic reactions, asthma and problems with the endocrine system.

“Regarding the principle of caution, such substances should not be included in the masks, especially masks intended for children,” concluded GenitorInformaTI.

Professor Michael Braungart, director at the Hamburg Environmental Institute and co-founder of the world-renowned Cradle to Cradle environmental standard has told Ecotextile News that mask-wearers risk breathing in carcinogens. 

“What we are breathing through our mouth and nose is actually hazardous waste,” according to Braungart. Masks contain the known carcinogen aniline as well as formaldehyde and optical brighteners – all heavily restricted by European and US health authorities.

Parents are exposing their off-spring to great risk, since masks are not safe especially because the risks of Covid have been categorically demonstrated to be miniscule for children. And at least 30 studies have shown masks to be generally useless.

The Catalan Society of Pediatrics demanded on Tuesday that all masks requirements in schools be ended as soon as possible. Governments that mandate masks containing toxic chemicals and fibres which may have long-term effects, could soon face personal injury claims.

France: Afghan convicted of glorifying terrorism cannot be deported

Who is he in fact? The identity of the man sitting in the dock of the Poitiers criminal court on Wednesday is not known with certainty. He gives the Persian interpreter a different identity than the one given in the trial.

The Afghan, allegedly just 28 years old, is accused of not reporting to the police in Châtellerault when he was under house arrest in a hotel in the city, where he had committed damage to property in his room last Monday.

The young man, who had been convicted of glorifying terrorism in an emergency shelter in Poitiers in November 2020, had just been released from prison at the end of December.

The prefecture of the Department of Vienne had placed him under house arrest until his deportation could be arranged, as the court had imposed a definitive ban on him entering the country. He had complied with his reporting obligations until the middle of last week, when his inconspicuous and friendly behaviour changed abruptly.
He was introverted, visited the mosque more often and spoke of his desire to see his family again.

(…) With flight connections to Afghanistan interrupted and no date for return in prospect, the situation is deadlocked and the man, who is under house arrest, does not want to stay in a detention centre any longer. La Nouvelle République

UK government spending £4.7m a day on hotel rooms for asylum seekers — NOT the £1.2m figure it gave to MPs

The British government is currently spending £4.7 million (€5.6 million) a day on housing record numbers of asylum seekers in hotels across the country, a figure almost four times higher than it had previously disclosed to MPs, the U.K. Home Office has confirmed.

A team of Home Office officials led by Priti Patel gave evidence to the U.K. Parliament’s Home Affairs Select Committee on Wednesday, where committee members were told that the current cost to U.K. taxpayers for asylum seekers’ accommodation was £1.2 million a day.

The department however updated its evidence on Thursday and admitted the cost was almost four times larger. It reportedly put the discrepancy down to a “drafting error.”

“£1.2 million per day is spent accommodating people resettled from Afghanistan and another £3.5 million per day for asylum seekers,” confirmed BBC reporter, Simon Jones.

The U.K. government is therefore spending £1.3 billion a year on housing prospective asylum seekers, many of whom have arrived in the U.K. via the English Channel in dinghies last year. That figure rises to more than £1.7 billion when the resettlement of Afghans fleeing the Taliban is taken into account.

The amended figure was made public moments before Chancellor Rishi Sunak provided an update on rising energy prices, a topic expected to attract widespread national attention on Thursday.

During Wednesday’s select committee hearing, Patel told MPs that 25,000 migrants were currently housed in hotels being used as temporary accommodation across the country following last year’s record level of illegal immigration via the English Channel.

Subsequently, 23,000 migrants were stopped from completing the crossing by authorities.

When questioned on how many of the 28,000 migrants who arrived in boats last year had since had their asylum application rejected and subsequently been deported, Patel said she didn’t know the updated figure but admitted it was “tiny.” The latest government statistics had shown that just 10 removals had taken place.

The spike in illegal immigration in recent times to Britain shows no sign of slowing down, after January 2022 saw six times more arrivals than for the same period last year, putting the U.K. on course for 40,000 arrivals in this calendar year.

Germany: Islamists wanted to kill as many people as possible at two railway stations

Within a few weeks, an alarm of terror is sounded twice at German railway stations. Under suspicion: teenagers who sympathise with the terrorist militia IS. About two puzzling cases that pose a fundamental problem for the authorities.
On Friday, January 14, a young man was caught in a police checkpoint at Freiburg railway station. The Italian, 17 years old, had been reported for a residence enquiry in Germany and was armed with a weapon, as the officers discovered on the spot.

Even more alarming for them was that, according to the WELT newspaper, the teenager claimed to be a supporter of the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS). When he was arrested, he told them he wanted to kill as many people as possible.

Only two weeks later, on January 29, a terror alarm was sounded at the railway station in Hanover. Again, a 17-year-old youth was under suspicion, and again there was information about Islamist links.

Both cases are examples of a group of people who have repeatedly caused problems for the security authorities in recent months.

Undisclosed conflicts of interest: Austrian health ‘experts’ linked to Pfizer

Eight “experts” who worked on the Austrian vaccination strategy against Covid are or were financially linked to the pharmaceutical industry. However, the Ministry of Health is apparently not interested in disclosing these possibly questionable relations. This was revealed by the research of an Austrian weekly magazine.

In cooperation with AUF1, the magazine interviewed 32 experts and officials. Among them were the members of the National Vaccination Board and the associated Safety Board, which is supposed to deal with the side effects. Some identical answers also exactly matched the text from Health Minister Mückstein’s office: “No member of the National Immunisation Panel or Safety Board in the National Immunisation Panel has conflicts of interest that suggest bias.”

The Ministry of Health has refused to disclose the conflicts of interest of its advisors to the population, the parliament and the media.

But Pfizer Austria has been publishing reports on “all monetary benefits to members and institutions of professional circles” since 2016. However, the names of the beneficiaries are only published if they expressly consent to being named which is not exactly conducive to transparency, so more members may be implicated.

Pfizer has now delivered almost twice as many doses of its product to Austria as all other manufacturers of licensed Covid vaccines combined. For the federal government and its experts, it became the preferred Covid vaccine with a monopoly within a few months.

For the year 2020, Pfizer Austria noted the sum of more than 31 million euros donated to health professionals. As a network of journalists found out five years ago, only 20 percent of the money could be clearly allocated at that time. It is therefore not surprising that the population’s trust in the political system is dwindling. This is also shown by a survey conducted in December 2021.

According to the SORA survey, 90 percent of Austrians see corruption in politics

“The trust in the Austrian political system has collapsed very badly,” Günther Ogris from the political and social research institute explained. “We have reached the level of Romania, so really deep in the pits.”

Some 58 percent of respondents think that the system is working less well or not at all. And 90 percent are convinced that Austrian politics has a corruption problem. Considering the pharmaceutical connections of the government’s vaccination advisors to the vaccine manufacturers and the planned compulsory vaccination, Austrians are justified in their assessment.
