I am told these nets are saturated with enough chemical pesticides to last 5 years. Does anyone have any thoughts on this???

If I made a quilt and dunked in a bath of RAID would you sleep in it. Probably not. It would be fair to question the ethics of a charity that promotes a product that may possibly be unsafe to the user.

The insecticide that is woven into the nets is approved by WHO and is non-toxic to humans.

Perhaps I am confused. This charity, NothingButNets has partnered with Ted Turner's United Nations Foundation. Ted Turner has expressed quite openly that he is working tirelessly to control/reduce population. In 2008 he commented on Charlie Rose "We have too many people using too much stuff". Why then does Turner contribute vast resources to preserve the lives of people in the poorest nations on earth.

His agenda requires further examination.

The UN Foundation, founded by Ted Turner, has been working with UN agencies and other anti-malaria groups beneath the Roll Back Malaria umbrella to foster partnerships that raise awareness about and support malaria prevention. In 2006, the UN Foundation created its grassroots campaign, Nothing But Nets, with a diverse group of partners to provide an easy way for individuals to join the global fight against malaria. To date the campaign has distributed more than 2 million nets in Africa.

Those Blacks are helpless and need White people to survive.

The UN actually helped bring malaria back!

Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring detailed the alleged "dangers" of DDT, which had practically eliminated malaria. Within ten years, the environmentalist movement had convinced the powers that be to outlaw DDT. Denied the use of DDT, millions of people -- mostly poor Africans -- have died.

Her admirers at the U.N. and environmental groups have managed to bring malaria and typhus back to sub-Saharan Africa with a vengeance.

Ted Turner, was quoted as saying -

"Right now, there are just way too many people on the planet. We need to cut the worlds population from the current five billion to no more than 250 million to 350 million."

I find it difficult to reconcile Ted Turner's depopulation agenda with efforts to battle malaria in Africa. I challenge the public to become further acquainted with Turner's views regarding this topic and decide for themselves.

Claiming Ted Turner has a hidden agenda of population control by shipping poisonous nets certainly sounds like a defamation lawsuit if I've ever heard one.

It is widely accepted that one of the negative side-effects of pesticide exposure is birth defects, and cancer. This is why it is reasonable to question the safety of your nets and the long term motives of Ted Turner and the UNF. African has been the staging ground for large scale human experimentation for nearly a century and often under the guise of humanitarian aid. These issues deserve thorough investigation.

Nothing But Nets was founded by Ted Turner's United Nations Foundation. Turner is also firmly invested in programs that reduce human population. This is well documented. Are we to believe that Ted Turner is remarkably concerned with preserving humanity in the poorest regions of Africa as well. On the surface these strategic positions appear to work in opposition.

It is a medically recognized fact that human skin is an organ and will absorb substances that come in contact with it. If NBN has successfully designed a non-toxic chemical pesticide, I can assure you the scientific community would be interested in knowing more about this product. At present pesticides are harmful to all living things. Are you asking us to suspend our current understanding of these chemicals?
