Breast milk-dependent infant deteriorates in state custody</a>.Temporary custody was given to a foster family and a hearing set for April for the next phase. Frontline News sent an inquiry (below) to Idaho Department of Health and Welfare Director Dave Jeppesen, after which the baby was promptly returned.The saga unfolded last week when, within hours of missing a routine weigh-in for an underweight 10-month-old child, Cyrus’ parents were swarmed upon by a huge police force. The parents explained that the mother had cold symptoms and would not have been allowed into the clinic. &nbsp;They promised to bring the baby to a weigh-in the next day but to no avail.This, despite the fact that the parents proactively did <a href="https://www.freedomman.org/cyrus/archive/">everything possible to nourish a baby that cannot keep down food other than breast mil</a>k. They had previously brought Baby Cyrus to the hospital and had searched for alternative food sources. &nbsp;In fact, hospital records indicate that Cyrus was sufficiently healthy for discharge immediately after his seizure.What does the other side say?Frontline News therefore followed up the initial article with a set of inquiries directed to Idaho Department of Health and Welfare Director Dave Jeppesen.&nbsp;As of press time, Jeppesen has not responded to any of the 20 questions in the below letter we sent to <a href="mailto:dave.jeppesen@dhw.idaho.gov">his public email address</a> on Friday.However, we note that soon after we emailed our letter, Cyrus <a href="https://www.freedomman.org/cyrus/">was returned to his parents</a>, albeit with severe restrictions.<blockquote>Dear Sir,We are reporting on the recent seizure of the baby Cyrus of Marissa and Levi Anderson by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, of which you are listed as the director and which has garnered <a href="https://thelibertyloft.com/2022/03/13/free-baby-cyrus-police-in-idaho-kidnap-baby-and-arrest-mother-for-cancelling-doctors-appointment/">public criticism</a>.We request that you share with us any comments you would like to make about this case and that you specifically answer these questions:Evidence of abuse?1. Is there any evidence, in his medical records or elsewhere, of abuse, endangerment or neglect of Cyrus other than the mere fact that he is underweight?2. Do Cyrus’ medical records indicate that his weight issue is due to digestive problems, e.g., that he vomits after being given food other than breast milk?3. Do Cyrus’ medical records from St. Luke’s Hospital state that, immediately after his seizure by law enforcement authorities, Cyrus,<a href="https://www.freedomman.org/cyrus/archive/">was brought to the Meridian ED for evaluation. Health and welfare identified a foster family but due to the protesters surrounding the hospital regarding this case, it was felt that discharge with the foster family from the ED was unsafe for all involved. For this reason, the patient was transferred to Boise for further care</a>. [Cyrus’ family published this <a href="https://www.freedomman.org/cyrus/archive/">image of the medical record&nbsp;</a> to demonstrate its authenticity]:<figure class="image"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/B9LDVui_gpK1PvSNvhTi6CkMVhFjNes2eDhyjRNoDNn3HgFHqOt-1dU8af_wiLFoBYIOR5EIQuWX-QdMC-bAI_jLwCTZHvdxuHhDCp602AZb0SVUHnt4Tpp56AZztWX1pOZl79k_"></figure>4. If that is an accurate reflection of the hospital records, then why didn’t the fact that Cyrus was healthy enough for discharge indicate to your agency that he was not in a dangerous situation with his parents, and why was foster care already arranged before his evaluation by health care workers?5. Is this an accurate transcript of the statement of a doctor from St. Luke’s Hospital to Levi Anderson on March 15th, 2022:We haven’t identified any really serious medical condition that is causing him to have trouble gaining weight. The thinking is he got behind on his nutrition [from the vomiting], and then his breastfeeding was just burning so many calories that he just couldn’t keep up, so he kind of got behind … Our team is thinking right now that taking breastmilk through a bottle right now is working really well, and that’s a great place to help keep his nutrition up, gradually increasing the amount of actual breastfeeding he is doing. So what is it that puts him at a spot where he’s ready for discharge? He’s hit all of those medical goals that would typically allow for a discharge.6. If that is an accurate reflection of the hospital records, then why wouldn’t vomiting following the ingestion of non-breast milk foods indicate that Cyrus’ weight issue is not the result of abuse?Retaliation7. Did you want Cyrus’ mother to come to a medical clinic while showing cold symptoms during the pandemic (on the one day, March 11, 2022, that she canceled Cyrus’ daily weigh-in at the <a href="https://www.funmedidaho.com/">Functional Medicine of Idaho</a> clinic)?8. If not, why did your agency not accept that cancellation as legitimate and allow Cyrus’ parents to bring him for a weigh-in the next morning, March 12, 2022, rather than demand that he be brought immediately to <a href="https://www.facesofhopevictimcenter.org/">Faces of Hope Victim Center’s Triage and Support Center</a> for victims of domestic and sexual violence and other forms of child abuse?9. Was the decision to seize Cyrus after his parents did not bring him to the child abuse center based in part or in whole on the the fact that his parents were not cooperating with a sudden request made by your agency, as opposed to an actual danger to the child?Safety10. What safeguards do you have in place to monitor whether Cyrus is safer with foster parents than with his parents, in light of the fact that children are much more likely to die or be abused in foster care than in parental care. [The online <a href="https://emmasmith.org/KnowYourFamilyRightsHandbook.htm">Know Your Family Rights Handbook</a> created this table comparing abuse by biological parents with that by foster parents from statistics gathered by The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN)]:<figure class="image"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/6ySUNnsR1QuF-neqWJ8mnZo7MpX3U3XlSq_l5bdvEuTvhaaId1lczWedRCZFio2l2X5EaWJ7Aa3xkCdr1F74Nhet6mjR3EbfMLFZLlJOOi5pcMMah5KXI_WReuxZ2xarDSUIQmqX"></figure>Transparency11. Did your agency request that the hearings in Cyrus’ case be closed to the public despite the <a href="https://www.justicewomen.com/tips_bewarechildprotectiveservices.html">National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges' support for presumptively open hearings</a>? If so, why?Conflict of Interest12. How much money will your agency receive if Cyrus is permanently placed in foster care, put up for adoption or otherwise removed from his parent’s custody?&nbsp;13. What percentage of the budget of your agency’s subdivision, <a href="https://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/services-programs/children-families/child-and-family-services-and-foster-care">the Child and Family Services and Foster Care</a>, is funded by payments that are only made on a per-child adoption/foster care basis? How many employees would be laid off or see their salaries reduced if each of the children were left in their parents’ custody?14. How much of the funds received by your agency would be matching funds from the federal government for foster care or adoption? [The 2022 figures for <a href="https://imprintnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Federal-Appropriations-Imprint-V2.pdf">federal funding of foster care ($5,8 billion) and adoption ($3,7 billion)</a> are not broken down on a per-child basis, although an $85,000 per-child adoption figure (in addition to State “bonuses”) was provided by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66u2Qot5Mbs&amp;list=PL0AD786F2375E7DBD&amp;index=2">Oregon prosecutor Robert Weidner</a> in 2008].&nbsp;15. How much money is Cyrus’ foster family now receiving and how much will they receive, per month, if Cyrus is permanently placed with them?16. What safeguards do you have in place to prevent foster families from creating a conflict of interest by giving monetary or non-monetary gifts to your agency’s employees, or otherwise having what the late Georgia State Senator Nancy Schaefer described as an “<a href="https://parentalrights.org/child_protective_services/">inappropriate relationship with a caseworker</a>?”Political targeting17. Was your government agency, or its subdivision, the Child and Family Services and Foster Care, aware of the political activism, including publicly advocating for limited government and “<a href="https://www.freedomman.org/about/">Freedom, Liberty, and the founding principles of the United States of America</a>,” of Cyrus’s father, Levi, and his grandfather, Diego Rodriguez, before, during or after the seizure of Cyrus by your agency?18. What safeguards do you have in place to ensure that parents are not targeted by your agency for their political opinions?Ethnic targeting19. What safeguards do you have in place in general to ensure that parents from underprivileged or minority ethnic groups are not disproportionately targeted for child seizures in light of the facts that, “<a href="https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubPDFs/racial_disproportionality.pdf">In 2019 … African-American children accounted for roughly 14 percent of the child population and 23 percent of the foster care population …</a>” and “<a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/adoption-protections-for-native-american-children-will-get-high-court-attention/">roughly one-third of Native American children were being removed from their families by state and federal agencies and being placed with mostly non-Native American, white families or in boarding schools before 1978</a>.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Future&nbsp;20. Does your agency plan to oppose the return of Cyrus to his parents at the upcoming court hearing on April 8, 2022? If so, on what grounds will you oppose his return?We're planning on including your comments, so if there are any alternative versions of the events, responses, or context we should note, our deadline is Sunday at 13:00. Thanks for any information you can share.</blockquote>

<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.

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.
