The Biden administration has adopted the Hamas policy of demanding a Gaza ceasefire without the release of hostages. In what would be "a few days” according to the White House or up to a week according to Hamas, Israel would halt its battle to bring down the Hamas regime without a guarantee of the release of even one hostage.&nbsp;During the temporary ceasefire, Hamas would merely commit to negotiate a permanent truce and the possible release of hostages, without even informing Israel which hostages remain alive.<h1>We attacked! Now give us a ceasefire</h1>Hamas has been demanding a ceasefire since Israel repelled their October 7th invasion, in which they killed over 1,200 Israelis, including hundreds at a musical festival, many after brutal gang rapes, and wounded hundreds more. Some have noted that a ceasefire already was in place, on October 6th:<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">There was a ceasefire on Oct 6. Also could have been one in October 8 with a full hostage release and surrender. Presumably one is even possible now, with a full hostage release and surrender. That’s it.

While many may assume Benjamin Netanyahu hopes for a pressure-free Trump administration if the war carries into next year, one past incident with Trump may indicate otherwise.&nbsp;An <a href="https://frontline.news/post/8-ways-bibi-betrayed-the-jewish-nation-analysis" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">effort</a> by Netanyahu to garner more funds for the PLO subsidiary Palestinian Authority (which has a multi-million dollar “<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pay-to-slay-biden-sued-sending-half-billion-palestinian-aid-could-fund-acts-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pay to slay</a>” scheme, compensating terrorists and their families, while promising to <a href="https://iris.org.il/phased-plan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">destroy Israel in phases</a>) failed when he was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Netanyahu-requests-US-transfer-funds-to-PA-Trump-refuses-607112">turned down</a> by President Trump, as reported by the Jerusalem Post:<blockquote>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested that Washington allow the transfer of $12 million to Palestinian security forces, but&nbsp; President Donald Trump denied the request, Channel 13 reported.“If it’s so important for Netanyahu, he should pay the Palestinians $12 million,” senior White House officials told Channel 13, quoting the president.</blockquote>Will Biden continue increase the pressure, just as Jimmy Carter did when he forced the Shah of Iran to turn over his country to Ayatollah Khomeini? Will Netanyahu agree to Biden's demands at the risk of losing the next election? Will Netanyahu agree to conditions only slightly less perilous and manage to emerge as having stood up to Biden? Or will Netanyahu break with years of support for Hamas and the PLO and lead Israel to full victory in Gaza?&nbsp;Check back for our continuing coverage of Hamas and Israel as we look at the Israeli officials behind the intelligence failures of October 7th, their role in bringing Hamas to power, and the way in which they are managing the war.<h4>Related articles:</h4><ol><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/entire-manual-for-hamas-invasion-obtained-by-israeli-intelligence-officer-before-invasion-ignored-by-her-superiors">Entire manual for Hamas invasion obtained by Israeli intelligence officer BEFORE invasion; ignored by her superiors</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/six-hours-before-invading-hamas-terrorists-activated-israeli-sim-cards-in-their-phones-and-israeli-leaders-knew">Six hours before invading, Hamas terrorists activated Israeli SIM cards in their phones - and Israeli leaders knew</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/8-ways-bibi-betrayed-the-jewish-nation-analysis">8 ways Bibi betrayed the Jewish nation - analysis</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/pressure-builds-for-total-victory-while-leaders-stall-analysis">Israel: Pressure builds for total victory while leaders stall - analysis</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/don-t-starve-you-can-release-kidnapped-children-and-surrender-anytime-former-us-naval-officer">'Don't starve; you can release kidnapped children and surrender anytime' - former US Naval Officer</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/globalists-cremate-care-for-gaza-refugees">Globalists cremate care for Gaza refugees</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/level-gaza-before-sending-ground-troops-former-knesset-deputy-speaker">'Victory means total destruction, occupation, expulsion, and settlement' - Former Knesset Deputy Speaker</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/our-revolution-is-a-phase-of-world-revolution-it-is-not-limited-to-reconquering-palestine">'Our revolution is a phase of world revolution: it is not limited to reconquering Palestine'</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/marxist-millionaires-funding-hamas-islamic-rage-protests">Marxist millionaires funding Hamas Islamic rage protests</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/what-would-a-real-gaza-genocide-look-like">What would a real Gaza genocide look like?</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/biden-demands-israel-withdraw-from-gaza-with-hostages-left-behind-suffering-sexual-assault">Biden - doing 'all I can' to 'significantly' get Israel out of Gaza - with hostages left behind suffering sexual assault</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/u-s-officials-keep-empowering-revolutionaries-who-massacre-their-own-citizens">U.S. officials keep empowering revolutionaries who massacre their own citizens</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/glaring-failure-of-american-foreign-policy-kennedy">'Glaring failure of American foreign policy' - Kennedy</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/how-to-spot-a-fake-uprising-and-keep-america-out-analysis">How to spot a fake uprising - and keep America out - analysis</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/what-was-hamas-thinking">What was Hamas thinking?</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/hamas-long-term-strategy-revealed">Hamas' long term strategy revealed</a></li></ol>

Ceasefire to negotiate a ceasefire?

Biden administration now pushing Gaza ceasefire without release of hostages, despite continuing rapes

<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.

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.
