Swiss Scientists File Criminal Complaint Against Authorities For Ignoring The Acute Danger Of Poisonous Nanotechnology Deployed Via Chemtrails

Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

Criminal complaint against Federal Councillor Rösti for failure to act in an acute danger situation

The Swiss Scientific group WIR, whose research and interview with Reinette Senum I wrote about has filed a criminal complaint against the authorities in Switzerland for ignoring the imminent danger to the population.

Nanotechnological Poisons From Above – Swiss Research Team Reveals Geoengineering “Spider Filaments” Are Polyamide Nanofibers Delivering Highly Toxic Chemicals – We Are Inhaling Them

Bravo! On February 19th I will be joining the team with Reinette for an international live stream. I hope others will take note of this great work by our Swiss colleagues and start filing criminal complaints against their governments for poisoning the people and ignoring the issue.

We have to demand to end this depopulation effort from the skies!

A-POST REGISTERED MAIL / 98.00.992205.01114544

Federal Prosecutor’s Office
Guisanplatz 1
CH-3003 Bern Eriz, February 4, 2025

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT

Criminal charges filed against Federal Councillor Albert Rösti and Yves Bichsel for negligent or intentional omission in an acute danger situation (imminent danger). Despite scientific evidence of the release of toxic threads, no protective measures were taken.

Ladies and Gentlemen

I hereby file a CRIMINAL COMPLAINT against:

  1. Mr Albert Rösti , in his capacity as Federal Councillor and Head of the Federal Department of Environment , Transport , Energy and Communications (DETEC), and
  2. Mr. Yves Bichsel , UVEK Secretary General

In the name of protecting public health, the environment and the safety of the population, I hereby file a criminal complaint against Federal Councillor Albert Rösti on suspicion of negligent or intentional omission in connection with an acute dangerous situation (“imminent danger”).

Despite clear, scientifically proven evidence of a serious threat from the release of toxic threads throughout Switzerland – with proven effects on humans, animals and the environment – the responsible federal authority under the leadership of Federal Councillor Rösti has neither taken appropriate protective measures nor shown adequate responses to urgent warnings and analyses.

The facts are clear:

  • Concrete evidence was provided by independent, highly professional laboratory analyses.
  • Repeated requests to the responsible federal authorities remained unanswered or were dismissed with evasive, inadequate answers.
  • Imminent danger : Continued inaction not only represents a failure of administration but actively endangers the life and health of the population and the integrity of the environment.

In accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Criminal Code (StGB), in particular the articles on abuse of office (Art. 312 StGB) , breach of the duty of care (Art. 128 StGB) and endangering life and public health (Art. 129 StGB) , I demand the immediate initiation of criminal investigations.

I request:

  1. The immediate opening of an investigation against Federal Councillor Albert Rösti.
  2. Ensuring all relevant documents, communication protocols and decision-making processes.
  3. The criminal prosecution of all other persons involved in the inaction or deliberate delay.

This criminal complaint will attract both national and international attention, as the dimension of the problem extends far beyond national borders.

In the interest of justice and the protection of the population, I expect your immediate confirmation of receipt and prompt processing of this application.

Detailed facts

1. Physical and chemical properties of the threads

  • These threads are hollow and consist of nanoscale polyamide structures with a diameter of about 4 to 6 micrometers. Their structure and properties differ clearly from natural spider webs or similar biological materials.
  • Chemical analyses have identified more than 30 different substances, including highly flammable, toxic and harmful compounds such as:
    • Benzene derivatives: These substances are considered carcinogenic and highly toxic.
      • Epoxides and ketones: chemicals with high hazard potential.
      • Histamine derivatives: substances with possible biological effects.
  • In addition, an increased aluminum content was detected, which could indicate possible geoengineering activities or experimental technologies. Other metals such as iron, copper and chromium were detected in trace amounts.

2. Relevance of scientific research

  • Scientific analyses carried out by independent laboratories show that the chemical composition of these threads poses a significant risk to humans, animals and the environment .
  • The use of modern analytical methods such as FTIR and Py-GCMS has shown that the threads are not of natural origin and suggest experimental, industrial processes, or even hostile and military operations. They may also have been released intentionally. (See the Scientific Investigations section for details).
  • International reporting and scientific analyses on similar phenomena:

USA:

Italy:

3. Responsibility and official duties of the accused

As a sworn Federal Councillor and head of the Federal Department of Environmental Protection, Mr Albert Rösti is obliged to ensure the protection of the environment and the health of the population in accordance with the relevant legal requirements of the Federal Constitution and environmental laws. These official duties include in particular the control and prevention of environmental hazards caused by chemical or other harmful substances.

The repeated and documented spread of these poisonous threads on private initiative represents a risk to the environment and health that falls under the supervisory duties of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport and Communications (DETEC). Failure to investigate and contain these risks therefore constitutes a breach of official duties under Articles 11 and 312 of the Criminal Code (abuse of office).

There is a reasonable suspicion that, despite repeated warnings about the problem, Mr Rösti did not take appropriate measures to prevent a threat to public health and the environment.

4. Legal assessment

The available findings indicate violations of the following legal bases:

  1. Federal Constitution:
    • Art. 2 Purpose (protection of the rights of the people and security of the country)
    • Art. 3 Cantonal sovereignty (intervention by the federal government and internal omission)
    • Article 5, paragraphs 1-4, principles of constitutional action!
    • Art. 7 – 10 Human dignity to the right to life and personal freedom
    • Art. 35 Guarantee of Fundamental Rights (Obligation for Authorities)
    • Art. 57 Security – Protection of the population (including against hybrid attacks)
    • Art. 74 Environmental protection – Liability – Jurisdiction
    • Art. 76 / 77 Water Protection – Forest Protection
    • Art. 79 / 80 Fishing and hunting – animal protection
    • Art. 102 / 104 National Supply – Agriculture (Protection from Chemicals)
    • Art. 118 – 120 Protection of health – Protection from poison and genetic engineering
    • Art. 185 External and internal security (also against hybrid attacks)
  1. Swiss Criminal Code (StGB):
    • Art. 11 Committing an offense by omission in conjunction with StPO Art. 302 Duty to report
    • Art. 128 Violation of the duty of care
    • Art. 129 Endangerment of life (through publicly distributed poisonous substances)
    • Art. 186 Trespassing (spreading poisonous substances in the yard or garden)

crimes and offenses against public health

  1. Art. 230 – 232 (Release / hazard with toxic substances and organisms)
  2. Art. 234 / 235 Contamination of drinking water and feed (grass, herbs, etc.)

crimes against humanity

  1. Art. 264 Use of biological or chemical substances (hybrid attack)

Crimes and offenses against the state / administration of justice

  1. Art. 275 Endangerment and disruption of the constitutional order
  2. Art. 312 Abuse of office
  1. Environmental Protection Act:
    • obligation to prevent environmental hazards
    • International Agreements: Violations of the Precautionary Principle
  2. UN: Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (AS 1988 1888; BBl 1987 III 797)
    • National and possibly international perpetrators are currently violating the declaration of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change adopted in Stockholm on 16 June 1972.
    • The violation lies in the intentional or negligent use of environmentally altering technologies that cause significant harm to our country, other states, the global environment, and people and animals.

risk assessment and urgency

The proven toxic properties of the threads represent an acute danger that requires immediate action. In particular, the potential use of these threads as a transport medium for chemical or biological substances poses considerable risks. The lack of official response by Mr Albert Rösti exacerbates these risks and raises the question of whether this was done negligently or intentionally. A further failure to investigate is irresponsible.

demands

  1. Initiation of an investigation to clarify whether Mr Albert Rösti has fulfilled his official duties in his capacity as Federal Councillor.
  2. Investigation of the origin, mode of distribution and intention of these poisonous threads.
  3. Identification of the responsible persons, companies or institutions.
  4. Examination of possible links to experimental or military activities.
  5. Immediate measures to prevent further dangers.
  6. Transparent information to the public.
  7. Criminal assessment and sanctions

Potential sites identified for Trump-Putin summit

Potential sites identified for Trump-Putin summit – Reuters

RT

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been identified as potential venues for a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Reuters reported on Monday, сiting sources familiar with the discussions. This development follows Trump’s recent statements expressing his intent to swiftly end the Ukraine conflict and his readiness to meet with Putin.

While no direct contacts between the US and Russia regarding the summit have been confirmed, senior Russian officials have recently visited both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, according to Reuters. Both Middle Eastern nations have maintained neutrality throughout the Ukraine conflict, engaging in dialogue with both the Russian and Ukrainian leaders. Their neutral stance and established relationships with both Trump and Putin make them suitable candidates for hosting the summit, the outlet reports.

Venue selection is reportedly being influenced by the current geopolitical landscape, with traditional Western venues deemed unsuitable due to the support for Ukraine in the region.

Both Trump and Putin have been cultivating good relations with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was the first foreign head of state Trump called after taking office. During a speech last month via video link to an audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump described the crown prince as “a fantastic guy.”

Last September, Putin expressed gratitude to bin Salman for facilitating the largest US-Russian prisoner swap since the Cold War. “We are grateful to him, because this resulted in the return of our citizens to their homeland,” he said at the time.

Washington and Moscow have not commented on the potential meeting between the US and Russian leaders. In a recent statement, Trump announced that his administration had “meetings and talks scheduled with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia.”

Russian officials have said they are open to talks with the US on the Ukraine conflict, but stressed that no substantial agreements on discussions have been reached.

Senator Rand Paul Attacks Trump’s Gaza Takeover Plans: “I Thought We Voted for America First”

After President Donald Trump announced that America “will take over the Gaza strip,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., pushed back against the idea, suggesting that the move would betray the “America First” principle Trump voters expected.

During his inauguration speech last month, Trump unequivocally declared that throughout his administration he will “put America first,” echoing a longstanding pillar of his political philosophy, which he also expressed during his 2017 inaugural address.

But Paul is throwing a red flag in response to Trump’s newly unveiled Gaza plans.

“The pursuit for peace should be that of the Israelis and the Palestinians. I thought we voted for America First. We have no business contemplating yet another occupation to doom our treasure and spill our soldiers blood,” Paul declared in a Wednesday post on X.

The senator made the comment in response to a post in which Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared on Tuesday, “Gaza MUST BE FREE from Hamas. As @POTUS shared today, the United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again. Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people.”

While delivering remarks alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhyahu on Tuesday, Trump said that Palestinians should be settled outside the Gaza Strip, and that the U.S. will transform the region, which he described as a “demolition site.”

“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip,” Trump declared, saying, “we’ll own it, and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site … level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”

“I do see a long term ownership position,” Trump said of the region.

 

Israeli Occupation Forces Expel Hundreds of Families from Northern West Bank

 

Al-Manar English Website

 

Israeli occupation forces Wednesday detained eight Palestinians in the course of the ongoing aggression on Tammun town, south of the northern occupied West Bank city of Tubas, according to the Palestine Prisoner’s Society (PPS).

Kamal Bani Odeh, Director of the PPS Office in Tubas, said that the occupying forces rounded up eight residents from the town since the morning hours.

He added that the gun-toting soldiers were still conducting house-to-house raids in the town, arresting civilians and subjecting them to interrogation.

The Zionist Occupation Army announced on Wednesday it expelled around two thousand residents of Tulkarm camp, during the ongoing offensive in northern West Bank.

The occupation forces have continued a massive onslaught on Tammun town and al-Faraa refugee camp for the fourth consecutive day, maintaining a tight siege and causing a shortage of water, a lack of essential supplies such as infant formula, diapers, and medicine.

They deliberately ploughed through infrastructure, destroying main water pipelines, leading to a water shortage and causing a power outage in parts of the town and the camp.

They deliberately ploughed through infrastructure, destroying main water pipelines, leading to a water shortage and causing a power outage in parts of the town and the camp.

The onslaught comes as the occupation forces continue to wage large-scale aggressions on Jenin city and camp as well as on the city and the refugee camp of Tulkarm.

This comes as the occupation forces tightened military measures across the occupied West Bank hours after the release of 90 Palestinian prisoners as part of the Gaza ceasefire went into effect, dismembering and isolating cities and governorates one from the other using military gates, barriers and concrete blocks.

The Israeli military measures are in parallel with ongoing attacks by Israeli colonists across the West Bank to terrorize Palestinians and displace them from their lands to seize them and build illegal Jewish colonies that separate Palestinian communities.

Closures besides to other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel’s 58-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.

Featured Four Studies Confirm Serious Health Risks Associated With Childhood Vaccination

Photo Credit: Shutterstock / Comzeal Images

Four damning studies, compiled by epidemiologist Nic Hulscher, expose the devastating long-term health risks linked to compliance with the CDC’s recommended vaccine schedule for children.

Hulscher wrote on X: “FOUR vaccinated vs. unvaccinated studies demonstrate consistent links between vaccination and increased risks of autism, ADHD, chronic infections, asthma, severe allergies, and gastrointestinal disorders.”

Here’s a closer look at the data in layman’s terms:

1️⃣ Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Mawson et al. (2017) found that vaccinated children were over 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than unvaccinated children.

• Hooker & Miller (2021) found an even higher risk—vaccinated children were 5 times more likely to have autism.

• Mawson & Jacob (2025) found that children who had 11 or more vaccine appointments were 4.4 times more likely to develop autism.

2️⃣ ADHD

• Mawson et al. (2017) found that vaccinated children were 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD.

• Hooker & Miller (2021) found an extreme risk—vaccinated children were 20 times more likely to develop ADHD.

• Mawson & Jacob (2025) found a 3 times higher risk for ADHD-like symptoms (Hyperkinetic Syndrome).

3️⃣ Asthma

• Hooker & Miller (2020) found that vaccinated children were 4.5 times more likely to develop asthma.

• Hooker & Miller (2021) found an even greater risk—vaccinated children were nearly 18 times more likely to have asthma.

4️⃣ Severe Allergies (EpiPen Use, Allergic Rhinitis)

• Mawson et al. (2017) found that vaccinated children were 30 times more likely to develop allergic rhinitis (seasonal allergies).

• Hooker & Miller (2021) found that vaccinated children were 4 times more likely to require an EpiPen for severe allergic reactions.

5️⃣ Chronic Ear Infections (Otitis Media)

• Mawson et al. (2017) found that vaccinated children were nearly 4 times more likely to suffer from chronic ear infections.

• Hooker & Miller (2020) found a 2 times higher risk of ear infections in vaccinated children.

• Hooker & Miller (2021) found that vaccinated children were 28 times more likely to develop recurring ear infections.

6️⃣ Gastrointestinal Disorders

• Hooker & Miller (2020) found that children who received the highest number of vaccines were 4 times more likely to develop digestive issues like chronic constipation and diarrhea.

• Hooker & Miller (2021) found that vaccinated children were nearly 14 times more likely to experience serious, ongoing gastrointestinal problems.

“These data indicate that the current CDC ACIP hyper-vaccination schedule (up to 32 doses by age 2) needs a complete restructuring,” Hulscher concluded.

“The large number of serious safety signals must be addressed if we are to combat the chronic disease epidemic and have a future where the majority of people are not on the autism spectrum.”

Is Elon Musk Shutting Down Government Payments to His Competitors?

Elon Musk To Lead Department Of Government Efficiency

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: February 3, 2025 ~

Elon Musk is the billionaire CEO of the publicly-traded EV company, Tesla. As such, under corporate law, he owes a Duty of Loyalty to Tesla. Notwithstanding this well-established law, Musk is engaged in an array of other corporate endeavors outside of Tesla, including being the CEO of SpaceX, a private rocket company.

SpaceX is a major federal contractor to NASA and the Department of Defense. See our report: The U.S. Government Is Plowing Billions into SpaceX, Overlooking Drug Use, Sex Parties, and Elon Musk’s Coziness with Putin.

Now, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News, and a host of other media outlets are reporting that Musk has used his 2-week old position as the head of a Donald Trump faux agency – the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) – which Trump created out of thin air last month by Executive Order, to have his DOGE operatives gain access to the U.S. Treasury’s $6 trillion payment system and snoop on its payments. This means that Musk’s DOGE hires could potentially access confidential information on government contract payments made to Musk’s competitors as well as highly confidential payments related to national security.

There are media reports this morning that Musk has begun to cancel payments to some federal contractors.

One of the individuals engaged in this snooping on behalf of Musk, according to reporting at the New York Times, is Tom Krause, the CEO of Cloud Software Group, which describes itself as “Developer of enterprise infrastructure software” whose platform encompasses, among other things, “business intelligence.”

Krause is still listed at the website of Cloud Software Group as its current CEO, as well as using that same title on his personal LinkedIn page. So how, exactly, did he gain security clearance to snoop on this vast U.S. government payment system. Why is the Board of Directors of Cloud Software Group allowing him to engage in this legally dubious undertaking?

Cloud Software Group’s major owners include Vista Equity Partners and Elliott Investment Management, according to an interview with Krause at SpencerStuart.

The founder, Chairman and CEO of Vista Equity Partners is billionaire Robert F. Smith, whose net worth is pegged at $10.8 billion according to Forbes. In 2020, during the first Trump administration, Smith was charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with engaging in a massive 15-year international tax fraud scheme. Smith was given a non-prosecution agreement and settled the matter for $139 million after cooperating with prosecutors.

The other major co-owner of Krause’s firm, Elliott Investment Management, is the giant hedge fund founded by billionaire Paul Singer, who remains at Elliott as President, Co-Chief Executive Officer, and Co-Chief Investment Officer. Singer gave the Trump-supporting Make America Great Again Inc. PAC $5 million in one check in August of last year.

In addition, and notably, Singer is also Chairman of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, a right-wing think tank. William Barr, one of Donald Trump’s Attorneys General during his first term as President, is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Manhattan Institute. Megadonors to Trump and Republicans, including hedge fund titan John Paulson and former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos in Trump’s first term, also serve on the Manhattan Institute’s Board of Trustees.

Senator Ron Wyden, the Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee has sent a letter to Trump’s recently confirmed U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, raising national security concerns about the snooping by DOGE inside the Treasury’s payment system and demanding answers in short order.

RT

The US president earlier said he understands Russia’s position that Ukraine should not be part of the military bloc

Russia welcomes the statements made by US President Donald Trump regarding Ukraine’s NATO membership ambitions, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. Trump is the first Western leader to admit that it was wrong to support Kiev’s plans to join the military bloc, the diplomat said on Wednesday.

Trump stated last month that he understands the Russian stance that Ukraine should not be part of NATO. Speaking to reporters in Florida, the US president said Moscow’s position had long been “written in stone,” but that his predecessor, Joe Biden, had ignored it, which contributed to the current conflict.

“Somewhere along the line, Biden said, ‘[Ukraine], they should be able to join NATO.’ Well, then Russia has somebody right on their doorstep, and I can understand their feelings about that,” Trump added.

Speaking at an ambassadors’ roundtable on Ukraine, Lavrov said Trump’s comments suggest Washington may finally be ready to address issues linked to Ukraine’s NATO bid and the bloc’s eastward expansion.

“President Trump bluntly said that one of the main mistakes was drawing Ukraine into NATO, and that if he had been in power the past four years, the conflict would not have happened,” Lavrov noted.

“For the first time, a Western leader… the leader of the entire Western world, uttered these words, which we welcome because for the first time the problem of NATO was identified as something that the US is ready to discuss seriously,” he added. Lavrov reiterated Moscow’s stance that Ukraine’s NATO aspirations were a root cause of the current conflict, saying that warnings not to encourage these aspirations either fell on deaf ears or were met with “duplicity” and “hypocrisy” by Western politicians.

“The root cause is the conscious, long-term desire and… practical steps of the West to create direct military threats to Russia on our borders, on the territory of Ukraine, and drawing it into NATO. We have raised this issue repeatedly, demanding NATO honor its pledge not to expand eastward, but all was in vain,” Lavrov said. He suggested Trump’s remarks could signal a shift in US policy, which he called crucial as “Washington is the one who will ultimately make the decisions” regarding Ukraine’s NATO membership.

Moscow has long opposed Ukraine’s NATO aspirations, insisting any settlement of the ongoing conflict must include Kiev’s neutrality and demilitarization. Ukraine, however, considers its membership a strategic foreign and security policy objective, and has recently claimed that it sees its admission to the US-led military bloc as a security guarantee to agree to a ceasefire with Moscow. While NATO last year declared that Ukraine was on an “irreversible” path to joining the bloc, its members warned that Kiev would have to meet certain conditions first, such as resolving the conflict with Moscow.

CIA Offers Buyouts to ENTIRE WORKFORCE with Generous Eight-Months Pay & Benefits as Trump Moves to Downsize Federal Bureaucracy


Photo credit: depositphotos.com

By Jim Hoft

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has reportedly extended a buyout offer to its entire workforce.

This follows President Trump’s proposal to encourage millions of federal workers to resign by February 6 in exchange for pay and benefits lasting until September 30.

Trump is offering the buyouts to make sure all federal workers are “on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office,” CNBC reported.

Only 6% of all federal workers actually work full-time in the office!

Trump’s offer does not include postal workers, military, immigration officials or people in national security roles.

A senior administration official disclosed that over 20,000 federal workers have accepted Trump’s buyout, a figure representing about one percent of the federal workforce and falling short of the White House’s target of five to ten percent.

“We expect more to come,” the administration official explained. “If you see what’s happening at USAID, it’s just one piece of the puzzle.”

According to a report first released by the Wall Street Journal, the new CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, has spearheaded these changes, which include a generous eight-months pay and benefits package for any employee opting for resignation.
