Dear Subscriber,
One of the interesting things about government and our Rulers is the shortsightedness of their edicts. For example, we KNOW that plastic is fouling the oceans. It is a looming catastrophe. There are dead zones in the oceans. One turtle had a straw up its nostril and it took a team of people to wrench it out. How horrible for the animal to have lived like that.
At the same time, knowing how careless the average human is with regards to waste, the Rulers approve edicts mandating plastic fiber masks first without clear evidence that the mask does any good, and without any plans to take care of the BILLIONS that will reach the oceans. Below is a report of what the masks may now be doing along our coastal waterways.
I have to ask what good it will do to “save humanity” a few deaths (if any) from COVID with plastic masks, while at the same time bring abject destruction to marine life. And these plastic fibers may be ingested by sea creatures, find their way up the food chain, and then be eaten by us.
Note in the below science report that sea creatures are having their functions muddied by the leaching of chemicals from the plastic. I wonder what breathing through plastic masks might be doing to our own hormone systems. They mandated this without studying it.
We have tyrants in control. We have tyrants who are claiming Green New Deals, a greener environment, reduction in petroleum and emissions, while at the same time fostering the plasticizing of the oceans and doing nothing to protect this most precious resource. While having a libertarian mindset regarding government, here is one place I think government has a role. We all are entitled to clean water and clean air. Government could reign in unbridled plastic production which threatens landfills, oceans, rivers, etc., the whole planet in fact. But that would mean standing up to corporate interests and that is verboten since corporations and hidden elite are the owners of government and have “their” agenda first, not the “People’s”
I have seen masks on trails miles from the trailhead. I was shocked from the beginning of the madness that people were so terrorized by press and government that they would be wearing masks outdoors and even miles away from others. When government acknowledges the plastic crisis, it will be far too late, if it is not already.
To Your Excellent Health,

PS I am preparing a comprehensive report for the Premium readers on a recent interview by Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology. He was beyond fabulous in connecting the dots from COVID, to government, to the controlled and corrupt press and corporate graft, to even Eastern Europe, and all that is behind the scenes. I’m sure you will enjoy it and hope for comments

Discarded disposable masks found on a rocky shoreline.
Newswise — Disposable face masks could be harmful to wildlife, according to researchers who have observed harmful effects of the masks on keystone marine animals in coastal areas.
The researchers observed altered behaviors in tide pool animals that appear to be associated with the chemicals leaching from disposable masks. The behavioral effects include signs of stress and reduced ability to detect mates and reproduce.
The effects could have repercussions in the marine food chain, potentially cascading up to affect the seafoods humans consume, according to the researchers who will report results from their ongoing experiments on 3 March at the 2022 Ocean Sciences Meeting, being held online from 24 February through 4 March.
“We’re seeing more and more masks in rocky pools,” said Laurent Seuront, a marine ecologist at the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, who will present the new research. “This could cascade up the food chain and up to us.”
The rapid proliferation of face mask litter in rocky tidal areas prompted Seuront and an international team, including K. Nicastro from CCMAR (Portugal) and G. Zardi from Rhodes University (South Africa), to study how disposable masks might be affecting keystone species at the bottom of the marine food web.
Disposable face masks are commonly made of plastic fibers, which are composed of the same plastic polymer (polypropylene) previously shown to have negative effects on aquatic organisms.
The researchers designed experiments to see how long face masks leach chemicals into water, as well as whether marine invertebrates change their behaviors when masks are present. The invertebrates in the study include small crustaceans called copepods, the blue mussel Mytilus edulis and the marine snail Littorina littorea.
Using tanks with simulated rocky surfaces and patches of face mask material, the researchers were able to observe animals’ behaviors.
Blue mussels moved away from the face mask materials, gathering together, or aggregating, in a way they typically do to avoid threats. The amount of aggregation is a measure of how stressed the mussels are, Seuront explained. In the experiments, mussels avoided the mask materials and aggregated at a rate of 70%, compared to just 30% when masks were not present.
Mussels move on a single foot and have a sensory organ (the osphradium) that allows them to essentially taste the quality of the water surrounding them, Seuront explained.
Their experiments have shown that unlike mussels, marine snails did not avoid masks and mask fragments, but consistently showed signs of behavioral stress when crawling on them and preferred uncontaminated over contaminated surfaces. The snails also showed signs of being impaired by the chemicals. They were less vigilant after being exposed to leached chemicals, which increase their likelihood to be predated, Seuront reported.
Copepods, for their part, appeared to have reproductive challenges due to exposure to the mask chemicals. Male copepods were observed to be significantly less able to detect female pheromone trails, which made it much harder and less likely they would locate females and reproduce.
The broader problem, Seuront explained, is that these and other small invertebrates feed larger animals in marine food webs. If these invertebrates are having problems because of disposable masks, the effects can spread through the food web.
“This could cascade up the food chain and up to us,” Seuront said.
