"Everyone already decided whether to take the jab, why keep talking about it?” Here’s why it’s still critical to get the facts out about how the danger from the virus was greatly exaggerated while the danger from the vaccine was hidden from the public.<blockquote>1. To protect minority children from school expulsions</blockquote>School districts with the highest percentage of black students are continuing and even expanding vaccine mandates. The result is biased policies where black children are far more likely to be kept out of school, widening racial learning gaps even as school districts demand more taxpayer funding to close those very gaps.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.outkick.com/new-orleans-covid-vaccine-mandate-for-5-year-olds-will-force-kids-to-miss-school/">Outkick</a> reports, for example, on Washington D.C., where&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dcpolicycenter.org/publications/landscape-of-diversity-in-dc-public-schools/">90%</a> of students in government schools are minority children, and New Orleans (<a href="https://www.publicschoolreview.com/louisiana/orleans-parish-school-district/2201170-school-district">92%</a> minority students):<blockquote>Vaccine mandates in general, are indefensible.Vaccine mandates for children are even more indefensible.Unfortunately, numerous locations throughout the country are continuing to impose and potentially enforce these mandates on kids, contrary to all available<a href="https://www.outkick.com/new-york-city-mayor-says-he-will-mandate-covid-vaccines-for-children-this-fall/">&nbsp;scientific evidence</a> and data.Washington, D.C. has announced its vaccine mandate for those over 12 years old, which will keep substantial numbers of minority students out of school …But New Orleans is one-upping the city by bringing the age bar down lower. Beyond 12 year olds, the city is requiring kids as young as 5 to receive two vaccination doses … nearly half the students in the city could be excluded from in-person schooling.</blockquote>The disparate racial impact is all but guaranteed:<blockquote>These policies will accomplish nothing other than furthering already disastrous educational results in recent years … “there is ample evidence that online schooling and pandemic education have been an abject failure—especially for black students. At the end of the 2020-21 school year, students of all races had fallen behind by an average of four months in reading and five months in math. For students in low-income schools, the learning loss was closer to seven months. Remote learning widened the white-black achievement gap that had been closing for 30 years.”</blockquote>In short, minority parents,<blockquote>who make the entirely reasonable and defensible decision to avoid a shot with minimal efficacy and potential for<a href="https://twitter.com/tracybethhoeg/status/1557039855304990721?s=21&amp;t=CWDb6vKVvY6SP3YJSW4pBQ">&nbsp;negative side effects</a> will now see their children punished due to biased, purposeful incompetence.</blockquote>The policy makers, on the other hand, generally have the wherewithal to send their children to private schools unaffected by their mandates.The more that COVID falsehoods are exposed, the more difficult it will be to impose school mandates for vaccines as well as masks, testing, and quarantines.<blockquote>2. To thwart plans for climate lockdowns</blockquote>The Guardian ran a&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/ClimateDepot/status/1512120718246305800">headline</a> for a short time declaring&nbsp;“Global lockdown every two years needed to meet Paris CO2 goals – study.”&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">We have already implemented the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Degrowth?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Degrowth</a> movement!

So the change appears merely semantic and lockdowns remain the goal. The threat itself, of lockdowns, may also be a goal of such talk, as put forward in an opinion piece from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/we-need-to-act-boldly-now-if-we-are-to-avoid-economy-wide-lockdowns-to-halt-climate-change-11600879250">MarketWatch</a>:<blockquote>Under a “climate lockdown,” governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling.&nbsp;To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/18/the-covid-19-crisis-is-a-chance-to-do-capitalism-differently">do capitalism differently</a>. [Emphasis added].</blockquote><a href="https://summit.news/2021/02/10/coming-soon-climate-lockdowns/">Some</a> even see COVID lockdowns as paving the way for climate lockdowns.<div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-LiebtlAErM" title="Coming Soon: Climate Lockdowns" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" width="880" height="495" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>Is it a coincidence that the two fears employed in an attempt at acquiescence to locking down civilian populations, health and global warming, are both based on allegedly scientific claims? How do science-based claims differ from other types of claims?When one doesn’t do well on a history exam, the response is generally something along the lines of,&nbsp;“I didn’t spend enough time reviewing the causes of World War I,” not, “No matter how many times I read the causes I’ll never be able to write them down on a test.” This is quite different from biochemistry and physics where those not inclined toward science actually feel intimidated by the subjects.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/reasons-why-students-fail-chemistry-607849">ThoughtCo</a> tries to offer this encouragement, which may be less than encouraging to many:&nbsp;<blockquote>Don't go into chemistry until you understand the basics of algebra. Geometry helps, too.</blockquote>The dislike continues into adulthood; the&nbsp;New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/25/opinion/25thu4.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">published</a>, “Why American College Students Hate Science”.The effect is that, unlike gun control, taxation and immigration, a huge percentage of people are reluctant to challenge their leaders when it comes to virology and climatology.&nbsp;The refrain, “you should do your own research,” is met with, “that’s what we’ve got the CDC for.”<blockquote>“But there are other scientists who don’t agree.”“Never saw them, must be quacks.”“You should read the data and statistics they cite. For example …”“Let’s talk about something else.”</blockquote>But for the same reason that people react similarly to COVID claims and climate claims, people will suspect the narrative for one of being unreliable once they find the narrative for the other to be so. The more they hear that COVID vaccines actually&nbsp;increased&nbsp;the risk of death,&nbsp;<a href="https://expose-news.com/2022/08/09/1-in-246-people-die-shortly-after-covid-vaccination/">in every age group</a>, the more likely they’ll be to click on a link to a story with a title like,&nbsp;“<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2425775/Climate-scientists-told-cover-fact-Earths-temperature-risen-15-years.html">World's top climate scientists told to 'cover up' the fact that the Earth's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years</a>”.<blockquote>3. To protect vulnerable adults from mandates</blockquote>While the threat of losing one’s job or having to do an 8-hour work shift in a mask has dissipated for most, there are still parts of the population over which the federal government has sufficient control to enforce mandates, such as military personnel and prisoners, including Jan 6 defendants. Then, of course, there are those who will willingly get additional (so called “booster”) shots if COVID information remains monolithic in the media to which they are exposed.<blockquote>4. To prevent the declaration of a new pandemic</blockquote>If Americans accept&nbsp;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/birx-says-government-is-classifying-all-deaths-of-patients-with-coronavirus-as-covid-19-deaths-regardless-of-cause">blaming</a> late stage cancer deaths on a virus, then there’s nothing to stop public health officials from announcing a new virus scare, developing a PCR test that comes up positive in some five percent or so of the population, and then switching the cause of death in around five percent of cancer, heart disease, flu and pneumonia cases to that new virus (without any increase in overall deaths other than in areas where hospital protocols suddenly change to the detriment of patients).&nbsp;&nbsp;<blockquote>5. To get vaccine-injured people the help they need</blockquote>There are some detoxification remedies that may help a person who has been injured by the COVID vaccine, but, obviously, only if the injured person realizes that their illness is not something that coincidentally started shortly after their vaccination but rather is due to the continued or past presence of vaccine ingredients in their bodies. AFLDS posts one such&nbsp;<a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/index/covid/treatment-options/">treatment regimen</a> for the vaccine injured.&nbsp;<blockquote>6. To hold the leaders accountable</blockquote>The real deterrence of public officials and their allies in academia and media from again joining together to attack medical freedom is, of course, the enforcement of laws against deliberately misleading the public. Rabbi Yehoishophot Oliver explains,&nbsp;<blockquote>Once public awareness reaches a critical point it becomes possible to hold the conspirators accountable. We need everyone to awaken to the complete corruption of the system so we can rebuild it in a much more constructive way.”</blockquote><blockquote><s>7. To protect babies from the jab</s></blockquote>This one can be checked off as already accomplished. In New York,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newsday.com/news/health/coronavirus/lowest-vaccinate-rate-children-under-5-covid-19-long-island-y4o64r0a">less than 1%</a> of kids four and younger have been fully vaccinated.

6 Reasons to keep fighting the COVID narrative

<h2>Move over book burning, hello de-platforming?</h2>Closed out of your Facebook or Instagram account? Maybe your website suddenly disappeared, or your YouTube channel was demonetized or deleted? Perhaps you lost access to thousands of hours of posts and videos you produced, and your years of work were gone in an instant? That's de-platforming; the modern version of book burning, a “punishment” for going against the mainstream narrative. And, the censorship doesn't stop with social media, it includes PayPal accounts and more.<h3>Getting up again</h3>How do individuals who went afoul of the globalists, who didn't keep quiet and let others do their thinking for them, respond when they find themselves de-platformed by social media companies and other services? Here's what London Real's Brian Rose, Americas Frontline Doctor founder Dr. Simone Gold, and independent researcher James Roguski did to pick themselves up and continue their work despite the heavy-handed censorship they experienced.Brian RoseWhen London Real YouTuber Brian Rose publicly began trying to understand COVID-19 and its countermeasures, he soon found his entire life seemingly deleted from the internet by the social media giants.&nbsp;Not only did he lose all his years of work, amounting to thousands of videos which he had uploaded to the internet. He also lost access to his Paypal account, and more, because in his search for the truth about the pandemic; his counter-narrative interviews with David Icke were too dangerous for the globalists to allow. &nbsp;In his below documentary, Rose&nbsp;recounts his experiences and how he ultimately started a channel of his own. He explains that he was wholly unprepared for what happened on May 3, 2020, even though he knew that many would want to stop the interview (@about 3:36):<blockquote>Over the past few weeks, our entire world has been transformed. Everything we took for granted has now been taken away and our freedoms have been replaced with fear. All those rights we fought centuries for have been handed over without a second thought.&nbsp;We all process fear in different ways. I cope by immersing myself in my work and today my job is to ask questions. One million people will be watching and they all want answers.&nbsp;Countless others are trying to stop this from happening. At any moment they can walk through that door or lock this broadcast. I'm scared but I don't know what else to do. I prepared my whole life for a moment like This. But nothing would prepare me for what happened next. . .</blockquote>&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">WATCH THE MOVIE THAT YouTube DOES NOT Want YOU TO SEE (and SHARE IT Far And Wide ) <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LondonReal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LondonReal</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WeWillNotBeSilenced?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WeWillNotBeSilenced</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/StopCensorship?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#StopCensorship</a> <a href="https://t.co/txcVpjPDWz">https://t.co/txcVpjPDWz</a>— Brian Rose, Founder &amp; Host of London Real (@LondonRealTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/LondonRealTV/status/1796285778517221575?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 30, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>&nbsp;Dr. Simone GoldDr. Simone Gold, founder of <a href="https://www.aflds.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">America's Frontline Doctors</a>, was one of the first doctors to understand that how she was being told to treat COVID patients wasn't normal.

A British vigilante group known as the “Blade Runners” is receiving widespread support from British taxpayers as it continues to destroy climate surveillance cameras across London.<h2>The ULEZ mandate</h2>By order of London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the city is peppered with ultra-low emission zones (ULEZs), areas accessible only to low-emission vehicles. Cars that do not meet the city’s environmental standards are charged £12.50 ($16) for entering the ULEZ. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras positioned around the zones read license plates and check them against the vehicles’ make and model in real time. If a vehicle does not meet the environmental threshold, a fine is levied against the car owner.&nbsp;The ULEZ climate mandate has drawn heavy&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/london-hundreds-protest-against-climate-mandates">protests</a> from residents, including&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/british-veteran-launches-hunger-strike-as-unrest-grows-over-climate-mandates">hunger strikes</a> and refusals to pay fines. Taxpayers have also taken to disabling the ANPR surveillance cameras which Transport for London (TfL), the city’s transportation department, said will be used both for climate and law enforcement.<h2>Taxpayers cheer the ‘Blade Runners’</h2>Since the climate restrictions were expanded last year, the Blade Runners have taken to disabling and destroying hundreds of cameras. Between April and September 2023, Metropolitan Police recorded 200 reports of cameras being stolen and 595 reports of cameras being vandalized.TfL began placing black boxes around ULEZ camera wirings to protect them from being cut, but taxpayers found other ways to disable the cameras — like removing them completely.<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"> MUST SEE: Blade Runners topple THREE ULEZ cameras in a coordinated strike… The people are fighting back! <a href="https://t.co/Yvr2Xr7Lun">pic.twitter.com/Yvr2Xr7Lun</a>— David Morgan #StayFree (@david_r_morgan) <a href="https://twitter.com/david_r_morgan/status/1802726912050995623?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 17, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>In response, the city&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/london-taxpayers-attack-surveillance-vans-in-continued-revolt">deployed</a> mobile surveillance vans mounted with ANPR cameras across London in the hopes of evading attacks, but Blade Runners soon began targeting those as well.

‘Pissed off about the tyranny reigning over us’

British taxpayers cheer vigilante group destroying climate cams

Fisker is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the electric vehicle (EV) company announced Tuesday.<h2>‘Like other companies in the electric vehicle industry’</h2>“Fisker has made incredible progress since our founding, bringing the Ocean SUV to market twice as fast as expected in the auto industry and making good on our promises to deliver the most sustainable vehicle in the world,” a spokesperson <a href="https://assets.ctfassets.net/cghen8gr8e1n/6W19OiEBJDVIFVEmo4feHA/df902c5cb2b067251a300efb0b35f611/Fisker-Filing-FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said</a>.The California-based company added it is not the only EV maker that has been struggling to stay in business.“We are proud of our achievements, and we have put thousands of Fisker Ocean SUVs in customers’ hands in both North American [sic] and Europe. But like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, we have faced various market and macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted our ability to operate efficiently. After evaluating all options for our business, we determined that proceeding with a sale of our assets under Chapter 11 is the most viable path forward for the company.”Fisker’s collapse is the latest indication that the EV industry is folding due to sinking demand. Other EV industry players are also cutting their losses as they jump ship.<h2>Hertz</h2>In March, Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr&nbsp;<a href="https://www.motorfinanceonline.com/news/hertz-ceo-resigns-amid-ev-investment-setback/#:~:text=Scherr's%20departure%20coincides%20with%20Hertz's,electric%20vehicle%20(EV)%20rentals">resigned</a> after his bet on EVs cost the car rental giant its biggest quarterly loss since 2020. Hertz had been praised by the Biden administration for its ambition to convert 25% of its fleet to EVs by the end of this year. In January, however, the company announced it would instead be selling its 20,000 EVs — including Teslas — at heavily discounted prices and replacing them with gas-powered cars.<h2>Mercedes-Benz</h2>Mercedes-Benz also recently had to give up its ambition to only sell electric cars by 2030. Instead, EVs are expected to make up only 50% of the German carmaker’s sales over the next decade.<h2>Apple</h2>In February, Apple abandoned its multi-billion dollar effort to create an electric car. Despite being a decade in the works and employing 2,000 people, Project Titan was axed due to falling consumer demand.<h2>Aston Martin</h2>A lack of consumer demand is also partly to blame for Aston Martin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13138123/Aston-Martin-puts-brakes-new-electric-supercar-2026-bosses-say-drivers-want-engines-throaty-roar.html">placing</a> its battery-operated “supercar” on hold until 2026.“Demand, certainly at an Aston Martin price point, is not what we thought it was going to be two years ago,” said Aston Martin Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll.&nbsp;<h2>Ford</h2>In December, Ford slashed production of its flagship EV at its assembly plant in Dearborn, Michigan by half. The automaker cut the monthly production quote for the all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck from 3,200 units to 1,600 units per month.<h2>Biden administration continues to force EV production</h2>Nevertheless, the Biden administration in March issued new climate mandates aimed at forcing more EV production. The new rules from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contain tight emissions standards that will&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/epa-electric-vehicles-emissions-limits-climate-biden-e6d581324af51294048df24269b5d20a">require</a> 56% of new vehicle sales to be fully electric by 2032, with an additional 13% required to be hybrids.

For the last two years, British authorities have been testing AI-powered emotion recognition cameras on travelers in train stations, according to recently disclosed documents.<h2>What can the cameras see?</h2>In each of eight train stations around the UK, five to seven cameras or sensors scan the passing crowds. Using AI software from Amazon, the cameras use object recognition algorithms to spot criminal activity, trespassing, weapons, wet floors, overcrowding, and overstuffed trash cans.&nbsp;They can also alert authorities when passengers engage in “unusual behavior,” such as shouting, running, smoking, or skateboarding.&nbsp;A combination of existing cameras and newly installed smart cameras are being used for the surveillance project. All are equipped with Amazon’s Rekognition surveillance system.<h2>Emotional recognition</h2>Through a combination of facial and behavioral analyses, the Rekognition software allows officials to also <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-ai-cameras-emotions-uk-train-passengers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">analyze visitors’ emotions</a>. Internal documents note that the cameras can detect whether a passenger is “happy, sad [or] angry.” They can also recognize passenger satisfaction, which “could be utilized to maximum advertising and retail revenue.”<h2>Anti-social behavior</h2>Authorities can also detect passengers who exhibit “anti-social behaviour,” which&nbsp;<a href="https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/asb/asb/antisocial-behaviour/what-is-antisocial-behaviour/">according</a> to London’s Metropolitan Police Service means “behaviour by a person which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household as the person.”<h2>Social distancing, face masks, and demographics</h2>Other&nbsp;<a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24757655-usecases_dpas_review_managed_stations?responsive=1&amp;title=1">use cases</a> for the surveillance cameras include detecting whether passengers are keeping to social distancing rules and wearing face masks. The cameras can also scan for demographics by identifying people’s age profiles and “socio-economic classification,” which the documents note can create “revenue opportunities for better targeted advertising and product placement.”<h2>‘Quite a concerning step’</h2>The documents were obtained by Big Brother Watch, a civil rights and government watchdog group, in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. Network Rail, a body within the Department of Transportation which manages most of the country’s train network, has been overseeing the surveillance project.&nbsp;“The rollout and normalization of AI surveillance in these public spaces, without much consultation and conversation, is quite a concerning step,” Jake Hurfurt, head of research and investigations at Big Brother Watch,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-ai-cameras-emotions-uk-train-passengers/">told</a> Wired.As of now, the surveillance systems do not use facial recognition technology, which analyzes faces and matches them against facial images stored in certain databases.
