In&nbsp;<a href="https://aflds.org/news/post/the-real-cause-of-aids-known-to-health-officials-since-day-one/">The real cause of AIDS, known to health officials since day one</a>, AFLDS laid out the evidence that months of amyl nitrite inhalant (popper) abuse leads to cancer on the face and in the lungs, the places most exposed to their dangerous fumes. &nbsp; It also leads to a breakdown in the body’s natural immune system.Testing the hypothesisIf it is true that a sudden explosion in drug abuse in the 1970s led to the startling appearance in 1980 of young, previously healthy, men with immune systems as weak as those of chemo patients, we would expect to see this in drug addicts, HIV-positive or not.Not only is it indeed the case that AIDS appears in HIV-negative drug abusers, but it has been known to public health officials for decades.&nbsp;Internationally acclaimed virologist Peter Duesberg noted in his groundbreaking 1992 paper,&nbsp;<a href="https://unz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Duesberg-1996-Appendix-B.pdf">AIDS Acquired by Drug Consumption and Other Non Contagious Risk Factors,</a>“ the following anomalies.&nbsp;<blockquote>After the discovery of HIV,&nbsp;5 out of 6&nbsp;HIV-free male homosexuals from New York who&nbsp;have Kaposi's sarcoma have reported the use of nitrite inhalants …&nbsp;… another&nbsp;6 cases of&nbsp;HIV-free Kaposi's sarcoma were reported in a "high risk population" from New York (Safai et aI., 1991).&nbsp;This indicates directly that HIV is not necessary and suggests that drugs are sufficient for AIDS&nbsp;….&nbsp;A prospective Canadian study identified&nbsp;immunodeficiency in 33 out of 166&nbsp;HIV-free homosexual men … a later report … from the same cohort documented that all had been using either more or less than 20 "hits" of nitrites per month … Thus,&nbsp;nitrites and possibly other drugs were sufficient for immunodeficiency.&nbsp;</blockquote>Even in patients who eventually tested positive for HIV, huge declines in their immune systems' function were seen when they were still HIV-negative, but after “extensive use of recreational drugs”.<blockquote>Likewise, W. Lang et al. (1989) described a&nbsp;steady decline of T4-cells in 37 homosexual men in San Francisco from 1200 per μl prior to HIV infection to 600 or less at the time of infection. [Emphases added].</blockquote>Health officials were thus already on notice at least as early as 1989, with the publication of<a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Patterns-of-T-lymphocyte-changes-with-human-virus-Lang-Perkins/3cfdae59dc1e0b4d6cee04113e7cf3723b581fe6"> Dr. Lang’s findings</a>, that the breakdown in the immune system was happening before, or in the absence of, any HIV infection (but coinciding with the use of recreational drugs).Just poppers?Is it just poppers that cause AIDS? When it comes to one of the two prominent illnesses seen since day one of the AIDS epidemic, the answer appears to be yes. The very first AIDS patients exhibited&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaposi%27s_sarcoma">Kaposi's sarcoma</a> in addition to a breakdown in their immune systems. Professor Duesberg notes that AIDS patients suffer this cancer exclusively on the face, upper torso and lungs,<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/261948355_Inventing_the_AIDS_Virus"> precisely where the poppers' fumes concentrate during use</a>.&nbsp;Immune system failure, however, in which young, healthy men suffer from rare pneumonias, tuberculosis, and candidiasis, and from a general breakdown in the ability of the body to maintain itself, exhibited by lymphoma, endocarditis, and wasting disease, is something seen in people addicted to other drugs as well.In fact, HIV-negative heroin addicts have a&nbsp;<a href="https://unz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Duesberg-1996-Appendix-B.pdf">3-5%</a> chance of not making it to the end of the year. Interestingly, that is the same annual death rate that HIV-positive addicts have. Whether they are HIV-positive or not, their bodies stop functioning properly and they die of the same opportunistic infections. The only difference is in determination of cause of death. &nbsp;If they die with an HIV-positive test result, their pneumonia or tuberculosis is considered an AIDS death. If they die with a negative HIV test, pneumonia or tuberculosis is considered the cause of death.The Duesberg&nbsp;<a href="https://unz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Duesberg-1996-Appendix-B.pdf">paper</a> went on to provide data showing that HIV status was not relevant in determining whether a drug addict would become ill.<ul><li>Among intravenous drug users suffering from a "spectrum of HIV-related diseases,"&nbsp; 28 out of 50 pneumonia deaths were HIV-negative, 7 out of 22 endocarditis deaths, and 6 out of 16 tuberculosis deaths were HIV-negative,</li><li>6 out of 289 HIV-free intravenous drug users had pneumonia,</li><li>30 out of 54 prisoners with tuberculosis were HIV-negative,</li><li>19 out of 21 long-term heroin addicts with low ratios of helper to suppressor T-cells were HIV-negative,</li><li>Thrombocytopenia and immunodeficiency were diagnosed, on average, 10 years after the subjects became addicted, whether or not they were HIV-positive.</li></ul>In fact, the role of recreational drugs in immune suppression precedes the AIDS epidemic by many years. Professor Duesberg lets us know about the earliest source for this role.<blockquote>From as early as 1909 (Achard et al., 1909) evidence has accumulated that long-term consumption of psychoactive drugs leads to immune suppression and clinical abnormalities similar to AIDS, including lymphopenia, lymphadenopathy, fever, weight loss, septicemia, increased susceptibility to infections, and profound neurological disorders.</blockquote>Recreational drugs were always playing havoc with the body, but in the absence of widespread drug abuse, they did not lead to an epidemic of health problems.COVID as a repeat performance?Does all this sound familiar? To an extent, the same can be said about the family of coronaviruses. A novel (new) version is alleged to have developed in 2019 that wreaked havoc on global health but was only blamed when there was a positive test for it. The exact same symptoms coinciding with a negative virus test would oblige doctors to diagnose a person as having contracted influenza, pneumonia, heart disease or any other illness from which the patient suffered. No actual increase in overall death would be necessary to create the impression of an out-of-control epidemic. In fact, the&nbsp;<a href="https://aflds.org/news/post/inventing-the-aids-and-covid-viruses/">average age of death with the new disease is&nbsp;greater&nbsp;than the average age of death without it</a>.Excess deaths could be caused in some locales, though, by dangerous, new hospital protocols calling for the use of ventilators or powerful drugs like&nbsp;<a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/news/post/why-is-emergency-use-authorization-being-used-to-increase-big-pharmas-coffers-without-any-regard-for-patient-safety/">Remdesivir</a> in cases where they would not have been used had the patient presented with the same symptoms but with a negative virus test.Something newWhat’s different is that in the case of AIDS there was a true, dramatic jump in overall deaths and particularly in an age group that should have expected a long life ahead of them. So there had to be something new, not just a relabeling of pneumonia and other illnesses as AIDS. Duesberg wrote a book,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/261948355_Inventing_the_AIDS_Virus">Inventing the AIDS Virus</a>, about what was new.<blockquote>The 1960s gained the reputation as the decade of freely available drugs, especially marijuana and psychedelics. But in reality, the widespread escalation in drug use began largely during the Vietnam War,&nbsp;about a decade before the appearance of AIDS. Much of the explosion has taken place only in recent years [in the 1980s]. Overall drug arrests in the United States totaled approximately 450,000 in 1980, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and the total was up to 1.4 million by 1989 …In the decade 1976 to 1985, the number of addicts admitted to hospitals doubled and then doubled again. During 1985, some 580 injection drug addicts died in hospitals, increasing to 2,483 such deaths by 1990 …… the highest price of the American drug epidemic is the tens of thousands of drug diseases and drug deaths that it generates each year. Indeed, the drug epidemic appears to have generated the first really new disease epidemic in the Western world since World War II.&nbsp;</blockquote>Check backPlease visit again for the continuation of our AIDS series as we answer these crucial questions:<ul><li>What do coronavirus and HIV have in common?</li><li>What do the COVID vaccines and the HIV treatment have in common?</li><li>How and why did Dr. Fauci suppress evidence that HIV does not cause AIDS?</li><li>How many times have public health officials mistakenly blamed a virus or bacteria for a non-contagious disease?</li><li>Why isn’t the AIDS-HIV controversy making the news with Kennedy’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1510766804/?tag=unco037-20">&nbsp;The Real Anthony Fauci</a> now selling&nbsp;<a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Real-Anthony-Fauci/Robert-F-Kennedy/Children-s-Health-Defense/9781510766808">over one million</a> copies?</li><li>Was AIDS a trial run for COVID?</li></ul>Previous article from our AIDS series:<ul><li><a href="https://aflds.org/news/post/inventing-the-aids-and-covid-viruses/">Inventing the AIDS and COVID viruses?</a></li><li><a href="https://aflds.org/news/post/the-real-cause-of-aids-known-to-health-officials-since-day-one/">The real cause of AIDS, known to health officials since day one</a></li></ul>

<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.

Last weekend, Blade Runners used power tools to topple a ULEZ camera and traffic lights to the delight of some fellow taxpayers. In a video that was posted to social media, passing cars can be heard honking in support.The video received over 37,000 likes. Comments on the post were largely supportive, with users writing that, “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty,” and “Fair play to them, it's a complete scam that does nothing.”Blade Runner Matt Hardy told the&nbsp;Daily Mail&nbsp;that the Blade Runners are “people pissed off about the tyranny reigning over us and getting out and doing things about it – real votes, real boys here.”<h2>‘These cameras are not about the climate. They are about control’</h2>British actor and influencer Laurence Fox said this week he was just given back his electronic devices by police after being arrested earlier this year for cheering on the Blade Runners:<blockquote>These cameras are not about the climate.

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.
