OUT OF TOUCH: Despite Democrats’ Focus on So-Called “Climate Change,” Few Voters Considered It When Casting Ballots

Despite the Democratic Party ’ s push for progressive environmental policies like the Green New Deal , climate change was not foremost on the minds of most voters this election cycle , according to recent polling from the Associated Press .
The polling , performed by NORC at the University of Chicago , shows that just single-digit percentages of voters across multiple states considered climate to be among their top issues .
The economy and jobs as well as healthcare were among the top issues as people cast their ballots .

The Democrat's comments came just hours after he took the lead in Nevada and narrowed the Republican's lead in Pennsylvania and Georgia.
On Thursday evening, America was anxiously waiting for the results of the nail-biting race in the key states, which Biden hopes will give him the keys to the White House.
According to CNN, Trump's Georgia lead shrunk to just 14,000 votes on Thursday morning. His Pennsylvania lead has also shrunk by 14,000 votes.
The New York Times reported that Trump is leading in GA by 9,426 votes, where 98 percent of the votes have been reported as the race tightened shortly after 6 pm EST.
Biden's lead in Nevada has soared to 12,000, almost double what it was this morning, according to the outlet.
However, the president also made gains in Arizona as two more sets of new votes were published in Maricopa – the state's biggest county.
Right now, the former vice president is 17 electoral votes short of an Oval Office victory.
HOLDING A RECOUNT Joe Biden has a slender lead over Donald Trump in the race to 270 electoral votes. The Democrat has so far flipped three states that Trump won in 2016 – Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona. But the President wants a recount of votes in Wisconsin and has filed lawsuits to stop vote counting in both Michigan and Pennsylvania. The recount of votes can be complicated because the guidelines are set at state and sometimes local levels. THE RULES Wisconsin – a recount cannot be requested until election results are verified on December 1. State rules also dictate that a recount can only be requested by a candidate if the race is separated by a margin of one per cent or less. Michigan – the state conducts an automatic recount if candidates are separated by a margin of 2,000 total votes or less. To get a recount by request, a campaign must submit a petition over alleged fraud or counting errors within 48 hours. Pennsylvania – the state only provides an automatic recount if the race is separated by a margin of 0.5% or less, or if election officials find irregularities in the results
Races in Arizona, with 11, are still too close to call as Biden came within one point of Trump in the traditionally red Peach State on Wednesday night.
But if those states' results are finalized on Thursday, Biden could claim victory and the race could be over.
On Friday morning, Biden was dramatically on the verge of an election victory after storming into the lead in Pennsylvania to seal Trump's fate.
This election has come down to the wire after Trump defied the pollsters who predicted a Biden landslide.
The Associated Press called the race in Arizona to Biden on Wednesday - despite mail-in ballots still being counted.
They called the race when 80 percent of the vote was counted but concluded that after analyzing the ballots that there were not enough for Trump to catch up.

An upstate USPS employee was arrested Tuesday while crossing the US-Canada border with hundreds of envelopes and other undelivered mail — including several absentee ballots.
The Buffalo mailman, who was caught with over 800 pieces of mail inside his trunk that he had failed to deliver, said he had ended up on a bridge between the US and its neighbor to the north by accident, the Buffalo News reported.
Customs and Border Protection found a huge bin of mail spanning several zip codes in the vehicle. Among them were three absentee ballots from the Erie County Board of Elections, authorities told the newspaper.
Brandon Wilson, 27, told CBP agents he was in the wrong lane while traveling on Interstate 190 and accidentally wound up on the bridge. When pressed, Willson claimed that the mail was for his mother, though he was unable to explain why the names on the packages did not match.
Wilson later admitted in an interview with the Postal Service Office of Inspector General that he had been taking mail from his delivery route and putting it in his car.

Democrat NY Governor Andrew Cuomo Blasts Democrat NYC Mayor Bill de Bozo for Democrat Losses on Election Day

Gov .
Cuomo blamed Mayor Bill de Blasio for the state Democratic Party ’ s down-ballot woes on Thursday , arguing Hizzoner ’ s job performance provided Republicans with ammo in key Long Island and upstate races .
“ The Democrats : there ’ ll be havoc like in New York City , ” said Cuomo , mimicking a GOP mailer during a softball interview with radio host Alan Chartock on upstate radio station WAMC .
“ They ran de Blasio ’ s picture all over the state !
” added the third-term governor .
“ They ’ ll turn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , looting and crime and homelessness , law and order !
” Cuomo ’ s remarks echo his own repeated attacks on de Blasio earlier this fall , where the governor also dubbed the Big Apple “ dirty , ” riddled with a “ homeless problem ” and “ rising crime.
” GOP state Senate candidates on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley frequently featured de Blasio — as well as Cuomo — in mailers .
Several Republican candidates have leads based on ballots tallied on Election Day , but hundreds of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be counted .
That didn ’ t stop Cuomo from whacking de Blasio for Democrats ’ messaging woes .
“ I believe the Republicans beat the Democrats on the messaging .
I think they branded Democrats as anti-law and order and that hurt Democrats , ” he told Chartock .
However , much of the ammunition that Republicans used against Democrats came from proposals that Cuomo included and passed through his budgets — including the state ’ s controversial reform that nixed bail requirements for misdemeanors and most nonviolent-felony charges .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward is just make sure I strongly endorse the Republican candidates and confuse matters going forward in New York state , ” he said sarcastically .
A spokesman for the state Senate Democrats poked holes in Cuomo ’ s argument : “ This is not based in reality , There are over 1 million votes to be counted and Democrats are on pace to add to their majority .
This talk of a red wave or successful GOP messaging makes no sense .
The Republicans lost .
”

Not my fault!

Democrat Tries to Strangle NYPD Cop

The NFL is levying a heavy punishment on the Las ...

A man shoved an NYPD cop to the ground and tried to strangle the officer with a chain during Manhattan protests Thursday night, according to police.
The alleged attack occurred near Bond Street and Broadway in Noho during the second consecutive night of demonstrations in the area, which led to 18 arrests, police sources said.
The NYPD tweeted out a photo of the chain with the message: “Violence – in any form – is unacceptable. We will be reviewing this incident, and bring any additional perpetrators to justice.”
Meanwhile, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and members of the press were shoved by police during another Lower Manhattan clash Thursday night.
Video posted to Twitter by Wall Street Journal reporter Katie Honan shows officers using their bicycles to push Williams back.
City lawmakers condemned the tense encounter.
“Our Public Advocate @JumaaneWilliams has a long history of going to protests specifically to join with New Yorkers while de-escalating tensions. There’s no sense in this, @NYCMayor. Where are you?,” state Sen. Brad Hoylman tweeted.
State Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou added: “Pushing @JumaaneWilliams our public advocate?! This is not appropriate! What is going on right now?!”
And in Union Square, video captured by a Post reporter shows 1010 WINS radio reporter Roger Stern was knocked to the ground near the park’s steps when police there tried to control the crowd using their bikes.


thelibertydaily--2020-11-06--Four Alabama Supreme Court Justices Call for Roe v. Wade to Be Overturned

MONTGOMERY , Ala. — Four Alabama Supreme Court justices have used a ruling in an abortion case as an opportunity to call the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 1973 decision of Roe v. Wade and the 1992 opinion of Planned Parenthood v. Casey — precedents that have perpetuated the shedding of innocent blood in America .
“ The time has come for the United States Supreme Court to overrule Roe and Casey .
I respectfully urge the court to do so at the earliest opportunity , ” wrote Associate Justice Jay Mitchell .
“ I also encourage other courts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voices , as appropriate , by pointing out the constitutional infirmities of Roe and Casey and asking the Court to overrule those highly regrettable decisions.
” Mitchell made the comments in a concurrence outlining that the Alabama Supreme Court , due the plaintiff ’ s noncompliance with an appellate procedural rule , could not hear the appeal of case involving a man who sued an abortion facility for killing his unborn child .
“ [ T ] he central holding of Roe — that there is a constitutional right to have an abortion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — has no grounding in the text of the United States Constitution , ” he said .
Mitchell pointed to the words of Justice Clarence Thomas , who said earlier this year in June Medical Services v. Russo , “ Roe is grievously wrong for many reasons , but the most fundamental is that its core holding — that the Constitution protects a woman ’ s right to abort her unborn child — finds no support in the text of the Fourteenth Amendment.
” He noted that the Supreme Court likewise “ invented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ v. Casey when it opined that entities can ’ t place an “ undue burden ” on ability to obtain an abortion .
Mitchell further outlined that at no point in history is there any indication that mothers have any “ right ” to abortion .
“ The English common law did not recognize a right to have an abortion , ” he noted , and “ [ b ] y the time the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted in 1868 , at least 36 states and territories had laws limiting abortion.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abortion from the Due Process Clause , the United States Supreme Court ‘ had to find within the Scope of the Fourteenth Amendment a right that was apparently completely unknown to the drafters of the Amendment , ' ” Mitchell said , quoting in part from Roe dissenter William Rehnquist .
“ And while we are bound by text rather than drafters ’ intentions , no reasonable person in 1868 would have equated ‘ liberty ’ — let alone ‘ due process of law ’ — with ‘ right to have an abortion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case is “ ripe for reversal ” from the U.S. Supreme Court .
“ Roe and Casey are untethered from the text and history of the Constitution and , for that reason , have never been accepted by a critical mass of the American people , ” Mitchell stated .

“[T]he central holding of Roe — that there is a constitutional right to have an abortion based on a judicially created trimester framework — has no grounding in the text of the United States Constitution,” he said.
Mitchell pointed to the words of Justice Clarence Thomas, who said earlier this year in June Medical Services v. Russo, “Roe is grievously wrong for many reasons, but the most fundamental is that its core holding — that the Constitution protects a woman’s right to abort her unborn child — finds no support in the text of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
He noted that the Supreme Court likewise “invented” a new standard in Planned Parenthood v. Casey when it opined that entities can’t place an “undue burden” on ability to obtain an abortion.

thelibertydaily--2020-11-06--FLASHBACK June: Facebook Moderators Brag About Deleting Pro-Trump Posts in Project Veritas Sting

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has long insisted that the company is politically neutral , but the same apparently can ’ t be said for all of its content moderators .
The social-media giant said it would review its training and oversight after a Project Veritas sting released Tuesday showed moderators on hidden-camera footage claiming that they delete pro-Trump and conservative posts ; that the company harbors an anti-Trump bias , and that Facebook shadow-bans content , despite its claims to the contrary .
In an email , a Facebook spokesperson said , “ Our reviewers work hard to keep our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day.

“ We do not promote political viewpoints of any stripe and the comments included in this video are not consistent with our policies .

” The Project Veritas video featured an interview with former content moderator Zach McElroy of Cognizant , a third-party firm used by Facebook to police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three-quarters of the posts flagged for “ civic harassment ” tilted to the right .
“ I saw a stark contrast between Republican versus Democrats in that queue , ” said Mr. McElroy .
“ I saw upwards of 75 % to 80 % of the posts in that queue were from Republican pages , politicians , journalists , and pages that supported the president or supported conservatives.
” He said the content moderators , who lean heavily to the left , “ are essentially in charge of what gets said and what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a lot of them , I found that they are not at all shy to exercise their political will in deleting or leaving up content , whether or not they ’ re allowed to or whether or not they ’ ll get penalized for it , especially when they ’ ve got nothing to lose , that is to say , they ’ re getting laid off , ” Mr. McElroy said .
In October , Cognizant announced that it would scale back its content-moderation services in 2020 for Facebook , cutting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Verge and the Tampa Bay Times about the stressful working conditions experienced by staffers who monitor graphic and violent posts .
The video featured Project Veritas investigators speaking in hidden-camera footage to about a dozen content moderators , most of whom were identified by name .
The Washington Times has not confirmed their identities independently .
One man described as a moderator in Austin , Texas , called Facebook “ a very progressive company who ’ s very anti-MAGA , ” referring to President Trump ’ s Make America Great Again campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policy on Mr. Trump ’ s posts , he said , “ the fortunate thing is even if he does say something , if it gets repeated , we can at least get the average Joe.

They ’ re just trying to pretend that they ’ re not , ” he said .
Several moderators expressed anti-Trump sentiments .
“ Time to get the Cheetoh out of office , ” said one staffer .
Another man said that “ like half the time when I delete people for pro-Trump sh*t , I ’ m like , you should be on a watch list , dude , ” while a woman said that on her last day with the company , “ If someone is wearing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to delete them for terrorism and just going to like go crazy.
” Mr. McElroy pointed to the disparate handling of two politically charged graphics : He said a drawing showing Mr. Trump bleeding from the mouth with a knife to his neck was allowed to remain on the platform , while a cartoon of Elmer Fudd “ shooting ” Democrat Beto O ’ Rourke was removed .
“ There ’ s no difference between the two , ” Mr. McElroy said .
“ There ’ s no logical reason why the determined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different .
They should be the same.
” He said Facebook also made an exception to its policy against accusations of terrorism with a comment by CNN ’ s Don Lemon , who said in 2018 that white men are “ the biggest terrorist threat in this country , ” ruling that the remark was newsworthy .

thelibertydaily--2020-11-07--FLASHBACK: Nearly a Quarter of Philadelphia Adults Can’t Read — But They Still Vote

Why ballot numbers are so important on the campaign trail .
On the day of the primary election in 2015 , Mustafa Rashed was canvassing North Philly to help swing votes for his then-rookie mayoral candidate Doug Oliver .
At one polling place , he struck up a conversation with an elderly man , who was quickly sold on Rashed ’ s sales pitch for Oliver , but soon the exchange hit a wall .
The man was trying to tell Rashed something , without saying it directly .
“ He could not read , ” Rashed recalled .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your number , just give me your number . '
” Each candidate in Philadelphia elections is assigned a sequential digit for where they appear on the ballot .
You ’ ve seen this even if you didn ’ t realize ; aspiring elected officials often campaign with both their name and ballot number .
But this was the first time Rashed came face to face with a major reason why .
In 2019 , candidates continue to encounter illiteracy on the campaign trail .
It ’ s a humbling reminder that , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , roughly 22 percent of Philadelphians aged 16 and older lack basic literacy skills .
That ’ s the highest percentage in Pennsylvania ; nearly one quarter of the city ’ s adult population .
While efforts to combat Philly ’ s literacy crisis focus on adult education and workforce training , little attention has been devoted to its overlap with the actions of democracy .
Next month ’ s primary will present voters with over 100 candidates crammed onto the ballot , yet there ’ s little data to shed light on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ names in the voting booth .
But it ’ s clear that people who face literacy challenges still do very much vote , candidates and consultants say .
As the city awaits new voting machines and debates changing the way ballot position is determined , it ’ s worth remembering that the ballot number is a common tactic used to help bridge the divide .
‘ It doesn ’ t matter how easy or hard your name is ’ Literacy can impact every level of voter outreach , said Bill Cobb , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ACLU Campaign for Smart Justice who has been active in Philly electoral work for more than two decades .
It starts at phase one : voter registration paperwork .
In past drives to get new voters on the books , Cobb has helped Philadelphians fill out their signup forms , either because English was their second language or they lacked proficiency in reading and writing .
These barriers tend to concentrate in economically depressed neighborhoods , where voter turnout is already lower .
Then there ’ s the campaign itself .
Educating voters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tack in some of Philly ’ s most struggling communities , per Cobb , where literacy is but one in a matrix of factors .
It also takes a bigger time commitment that many campaigns aren ’ t willing to give .
“ It ’ s face to face , sometimes in their homes and at their doors , or lots of times at community organizations they trust , ” Cobb says .
Those who don ’ t bother to engage voters on their terms typically just don ’ t get their vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes to stumping on Election Day , the ballot number is an important crutch .
“ We have to give people the numbers , ” he stressed .
Some candidates in this year ’ s city races said they hadn ’ t personally encountered issues of basic literacy on the campaign trail .
Others , like Beth Finn , one of 29 Democratic candidates vying for City Council at-large , are conscious of it every day .
Plenty of campaigns have turned their ballot number into a mnemonic device , or a catchy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Election Day .
But Finn , who has worked in the STEM field , has made a habit of repeating “ Beth Finn , No .
64 ” to prospective voters explicitly because they may have unseen limitations .
“ Look , I have an easy name , it ’ s four short little letters , first name and last name , ” Finn told Billy Penn .
“ But even so , if you can ’ t read , it doesn ’ t matter how easy or hard your name is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The utility of the ballot number could be jeopardized by a move to randomized ballot order , which some have pushed to replace Pennsylvania ’ s archaic lottery system for determining the candidate order .
Depending on design , some randomized ballots can retain unique numbers for each candidate , however , even if they don ’ t appear in sequential order .
Illiteracy in the polling place is hard to quantify — but that doesn ’ t mean it isn ’ t very real , said City Commissioner Al Schmidt .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ next year are capable of eliminating some barriers around the ballot .
The device can be programmed to select multiple languages ( the current machines have ballots printed in English and Spanish ) .
There will also be an option to choose between white text on black background or black text on white background , which may help certain people with vision impairments .
Election code does allow for any voter to receive assistance in the booth during an election .
Pennsylvania laws prohibit your employer , your union representative or the judge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with you .
But barring those , registered voters who need assistance can bring almost anyone with them into the booth to help cast their vote .
Data shows these “ voter assists ” are prominent in the heavily Latino neighborhoods of North Philadelphia and other areas where English is a second language for many .
Whether that ’ s assistance reading or translating the ballot into a foreign language is near-impossible to know — that information isn ’ t tracked .
“ It ’ s not possible for us to tell if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illiteracy or non-fluency , ” Schmidt said .
“ We know it happens , but we don ’ t have data on how frequently it occurs .
”

Each candidate in Philadelphia elections is assigned a sequential digit for where they appear on the ballot. You’ve seen this even if you didn’t realize; aspiring elected officials often campaign with both their name and ballot number. But this was the first time Rashed came face to face with a major reason why.
In 2019, candidates continue to encounter illiteracy on the campaign trail. It’s a humbling reminder that, according to the most recent federal data, roughly 22 percent of Philadelphians aged 16 and older lack basic literacy skills. That’s the highest percentage in Pennsylvania; nearly one quarter of the city’s adult population.

In past drives to get new voters on the books, Cobb has helped Philadelphians fill out their signup forms, either because English was their second language or they lacked proficiency in reading and writing. These barriers tend to concentrate in economically depressed neighborhoods, where voter turnout is already lower.
Then there’s the campaign itself. Educating voters on candidates and issues requires a different tack in some of Philly’s most struggling communities, per Cobb, where literacy is but one in a matrix of factors. It also takes a bigger time commitment that many campaigns aren’t willing to give.
“It’s face to face, sometimes in their homes and at their doors, or lots of times at community organizations they trust,” Cobb says. Those who don’t bother to engage voters on their terms typically just don’t get their vote, he added.
And when it comes to stumping on Election Day, the ballot number is an important crutch. “We have to give people the numbers,” he stressed.
Some candidates in this year’s city races said they hadn’t personally encountered issues of basic literacy on the campaign trail. Others, like Beth Finn, one of 29 Democratic candidates vying for City Council at-large, are conscious of it every day.
Plenty of campaigns have turned their ballot number into a mnemonic device, or a catchy jingle that will help voters remember them on Election Day. But Finn, who has worked in the STEM field, has made a habit of repeating “Beth Finn, No. 64” to prospective voters explicitly because they may have unseen limitations.
“Look, I have an easy name, it’s four short little letters, first name and last name,” Finn told Billy Penn. “But even so, if you can’t read, it doesn’t matter how easy or hard your name is. So those numbers really help people.”
The utility of the ballot number could be jeopardized by a move to randomized ballot order, which some have pushed to replace Pennsylvania’s archaic lottery system for determining the candidate order. Depending on design, some randomized ballots can retain unique numbers for each candidate, however, even if they don’t appear in sequential order.
Language barriers also lead to ‘voter assists’
Illiteracy in the polling place is hard to quantify — but that doesn’t mean it isn’t very real, said City Commissioner Al Schmidt.
New voting machines en route to Philadelphia next year are capable of eliminating some barriers around the ballot. The device can be programmed to select multiple languages (the current machines have ballots printed in English and Spanish). There will also be an option to choose between white text on black background or black text on white background, which may help certain people with vision impairments.
Election code does allow for any voter to receive assistance in the booth during an election.
Pennsylvania laws prohibit your employer, your union representative or the judge of elections from stepping behind the curtain with you. But barring those, registered voters who need assistance can bring almost anyone with them into the booth to help cast their vote.
Data shows these “voter assists” are prominent in the heavily Latino neighborhoods of North Philadelphia and other areas where English is a second language for many.
Whether that’s assistance reading or translating the ballot into a foreign language is near-impossible to know — that information isn’t tracked.
“It’s not possible for us to tell if they’re seeking assistance because of illiteracy or non-fluency,” Schmidt said. “We know it happens, but we don’t have data on how frequently it occurs.”

An estimated 8.3 billion plastic straws had come to pollute the planet’s beautiful beaches. The backlash against the straws appeared to be drive by the horrific impacts on the marine environment in particular.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) in 2020, in particular face masks, have become a new genre of pollution.

MICROPLASTICS & HUMAN HEALTH
Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments less than 5 millimeters in diameter, or about 0.2 inches. They are barely visible to the human eye.
A 2019 study showed that human microplastic consumption ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles per day. These estimates increase to 74,000 and 121,000 when inhalation is considered. This amounts to humans ingesting approx. 5 grams of plastic each and every week, 5 grams being the equivalent of a credit card or a US nickel. Earlier in 2019, the European commission’s chief scientific advisers stated:
The evidence [on both environmental and health risks due to microplastics] provides grounds for genuine concern and for precaution to be exercised.”
More recently, on August 17, 2020, researchers analyzed 47 human tissue samples. Traces of microplastics were found in all 47 samples.
We have detected these chemicals of plastics in every single organ that we have investigated.”
senior researcher Rolf Halden, director of the Arizona State University (ASU) Biodesign Center for Environmental Health Engineering
This begs the question, what will be the result from applying microplastic materials, that is face masks, directly and securely over our air passages?
“Flock” is defined as inhaled microfibers of the plastic. “Flock worker’s lung” is an occupational lung disease caused by exposure to flock in manufacturing processes. People who work in flocking manufacturing processes inhale small pieces of the flock fibers, placing them at risk of interstitial lung disease.
Workers exposed to polypropylene flocking particles have developed flock worker’s lung. The presence of microplastics in human lung tissue was outlined by in a 1998 science paper, following the research of lung tissue belonging to cancer patients who had prolonged exposure to plastic fibers.
In addition to particle pollution causing damage to lung tissue and reducing lung capacity, it worsens other respiratory health issues such as asthma. In 2013, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an institution belonging to the World Health Organization, concluded that particle pollution causes lung cancer.
An informal survey of a small group of health care workers by myself found that about 50% of workers noted that their masks began to fray at the end of their shift, noting fibers that itched their face and nose.”

In occupational flock, “the cutting process results in formation of airborne particles or fibers in the respirable range.” . As facemasks undergo a continuous friction with breathing, talking, and facial movements, it seems likely, if not probable, that microscopic polypropylene microfibers, in some amount, are effectively being ingested into both the body and lungs.
Particles that are not inhaled into the lungs (the vast majority) make their way into our waterways. To be more succinct, every single particle produced, that does not make its way into our bodies, will instead go in to our waterways. The particles are then ingested into the body by humans and non-human life (marine animals and fish), some of which is too, ingested by humans. Of course, in addition, we drink the water, as does non-human life.
…Is this how we protect biodiversity? Is this what we mean by protecting health?
CLOTH MASKS
To mitigate against this latest environmental and health nightmare, people have been encouraged to wear reusable fabric face coverings comprised of three layers of fabric.
On September 25, 2020, a University of California–Davis study found that the fabric of home-made cloth face coverings release a large amount of fibers into the air. The study underscored the importance of washing them. What is not discussed are the same fibres being inhaled and ingested.
Those in the West, and those who own or have access to a clothes dryer, will know what dryer lint is. Friction causes the fabric fibres to become loose and dislodge during the washing and drying process – resulting in sometimes little, and more often lots – of lint that must be removed after each cycle.
Consider this excerpt from the article, How damaging is breathing in microplastics? [emphasis added]:
Microplastics washed off from synthetic clothes contribute up to 35% of the plastic particles polluting our oceans. Every time we do our laundry, an average of 9 million microfibers end up in the wastewater treatment plants that cannot filter them, and because of that, these fibers end up in the ocean. Also, just by wearing synthetic clothes, plastic fibers are constantly being released in the air. Up until now, all research was focused on microfiber pollution through laundry washing. However, a recent study shows how wearing polyester clothes pollutes the environment to a similar extent—wearing polyester clothes releases as many microplastic fibers in the air as through washing.
If microfibers are shedding off clothing, they are shedding off masks. Even cotton ones. In fact, cotton textiles (clothing, towels, etc.) often produce far more lint than other fabrics. Add to this, the inhalation of chemical laundry detergent and chemical fabric “softener” (liquid and sheet form) that many people continue to use in the process of washing and drying the masks.
It is safe to assume that those wearing masks for long periods of time are most at risk. The vast majority of this group would be minimum wage workers, who have no choice but to comply, people of colour, who are told they are more susceptible to the virus than white populations, and children in schools, where masks have been made mandatory.
OUR CHILDREN
In June 2020, the Children’s Sick Kids Hospital, perhaps the most prestigious hospital in Canada, advised that children, by and large almost completely unaffected by the virus, should not wear masks and added that physical interaction and play was essential for their well-being.
“We have suggested that masks not be required when children return to school.”
Michelle Science MD, MSc, FRCPC, Division of Infectious Diseases, The Hospital for Sick Children, Assistant Professor, Department of Paediatrics, University of Toronto
“Close interaction such as playing and socializing is really central to child development and should not be discouraged…Overall we think it’s not realistic or in children’s best interests to completely avoid all close interaction and play.”
Dr Daphne Korczak, Pediatrics, Psychiatry
“For children and adolescents, masks are an absolute no-no. Children and adolescents have an extremely active and adaptive immune system and they need a constant interaction with the microbiome of the Earth. Their brain is also incredibly active, as it is has so much to learn. The child’s brain, or the youth’s brain, is thirsting for oxygen. The more metabolically active the organ is, the more oxygen it requires. In children and adolescents every organ is metabolically active.”
Dr. Margarite Griesz-Brisson MD, PhD , Consultant Neurologist and Neurophysiologist [full transcript]
These recommendations were largely ignored by the media and, despite the warnings, the government and school boards made masks and social distancing mandatory for children.
The hospital further reported that 1500 asymptomatic children were tested, none tested positive [see this Twitter thread].
In the following presentation, Professor Franz Ruppert explains the impact of the pandemic from a psychological point of view. Ruppert explains how and why people currently suffer when their essential needs are taken; why children in particular are extremely affected; how current “protective” measures achieve this effect; and whether these measures are justified. In relation to how masks affect children, and toddlers in particular, Rupert draws out attention to the “still face experiment”:
