😳 Cancer-Causing Forever Chemicals Found in Band-Aids

Bandages from some of the most well-reputed brands, including Band-Aid, contain dangerous levels of forever chemical organic fluorine, testing by a leading watchdog has discovered.

Consumer watchdog blog Mamavation and Environmental Health News had 40 bandages from 18 different brands tested for fluorine, and detectable levels were found in 26 of them - the fact that risky chemicals come in direct contact with open wounds was 'troubling,’ the co-lead of the study warned.

⚠️ Israel’s Military Bombing Campaign Uses AI-Powered Database – Which “Identified” 37K Potential Hamas-Linked Targets (Reports)

The Lavender system processed masses of data which was used to rapidly identify potential “junior” operatives to target, according to Israeli intel sources. (+972 and Local Call)

Two sources said that during the early weeks of the war they were permitted to kill 15 or 20 civilians during airstrikes on low-ranking militants - using unguided munitions known as “dumb bombs” to destroy entire homes and killing all their occupants.

Details about the specific kinds of data used to train Lavender’s algorithm, or how the program reached its conclusions, are not included in the reports.

However, the sources said that during the first few weeks of the war, Unit 8200 refined Lavender’s algorithm and tweaked its search parameters.

After randomly sampling and cross-checking its predictions, the unit concluded Lavender had achieved a 90% accuracy rate, the sources said, leading the IDF to approve its sweeping use as a target recommendation tool.

⚠️ NATO Alliance Marks 75 Years as Trump Threatens its Future

Brussels is playing host to foreign ministers from 32 countries this week to mark 75 years since the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

As the alliance celebrates its anniversary, it’s bracing for the prospect of another perilous situation that it has faced once before – a Donald Trump presidency.

Trump recently said he warned allies while he was president that the US would not protect "delinquent" countries that aren't meeting spending targets.

His constant hectoring that Europe should do more to meet its spending commitments has even led some NATO leaders to fear that Washington could withdraw from the alliance altogether if the former president succeeds in his re-election bid in November.
