What has happened to our doctors?For many people, the decision whether or not to take the COVID shots was one they preferred to delegate to their doctor. For good reason, because the vast majority of Americans <a href="https://frontline.news/post/95-percent-of-republicans-and-democrats-trust-their-personal-physicians-advice-should-they" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">trust their own doctors</a>, especially if they have a personal relationship built up over years of advice and treatment.For many people, their instinct when faced with a serious respiratory illness that had progressed to the point of having difficulty breathing, was to rush to the hospital where they trusted that medical professionals would treat them — and heal them, with or without a positive COVID test.And for many people, their trust in the medical profession was shattered during the COVID years. And they are left wondering: Why?What happened to doctors — and nurses — people who invested years of their life and countless dollars to train so that they could heal people? Why had they suddenly become part of the problem rather than part of the solution?&nbsp;Cogs in the corporate medical systemPerhaps the clue is in that word: “part.” America’s doctors and nurses are part of a system, one with pressure to prioritize dollars over human lives. A potentially remorseless system.Many of the doctors who risked their careers and spoke up ended up losing their careers, their reputations, their family lives. Those who remained silent lost their integrity, and many of them know it.&nbsp;In memory of Dr. Jacob NeufeldPerhaps the story of <a href="https://www.idealmedicalcare.org/whistleblowers-wish-dr-js-last-words/#comments" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dr. Jacob Neufeld</a> will give some insight into why so many of America’s doctors are no longer healers. His story, tragically, is one of many.It is told by Dr. Pamela Wible, M.D., a doctor and suicidologist who runs a free doctor suicide helpline and, in her words, “performs psychological autopsies.”Many people aren’t aware that of all the professions, doctors are the most likely to commit suicide. Dr. Neufeld took his life, and one of his last wishes was that his story would help other doctors from ending up where he did.&nbsp;Dr. J and his kidsDr. Jacob Neufeld, known as “Dr. J” by his patients, was a triple-board-certified pediatric physiatrist, one of just a few hundred doctors in the United States who specialized in treating severely disabled children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and spinal cord injuries. He founded the&nbsp;Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine and published many articles in his field.But he was best known for his huge heart and total devotion to “his kids.” Dr. Wible describes how,<blockquote>He gave families his cell number. He did house calls for homebound kids (and their anxious moms). And when God called his little ones home, he was the doc parents called to sit with them and hold their hands as their children passed away.</blockquote>It was always a challenge, but the challenge became greater when his hospital placed a cap on the length of his patient visits. He had just 20 minutes to see each (hospitalized) child. It wasn’t anywhere near enough time to sit down with the child and his family, listen to their concerns, answer their questions, and update them on anything new.&nbsp;<blockquote>Anxious to spend more time with his kids, Neufeld skipped meals. He’d arrive early and work late. He did house calls and was available 24/7 by phone.</blockquote>&nbsp;Broken promisesThen, in 2012, a hospital in Boise, Idaho, made Dr. Neufeld an offer that he felt he couldn’t refuse. He would be medical director of the hospital’s new pediatric rehab center, and the hospital would fund his research and journal. The hospital also promised that while he would be the director of the unit, he wouldn’t be the only pediatric physiatrist on staff—there would be backup for him when he needed it.He accepted the offer and relocated to Idaho.In no time he was back to giving of himself entirely, both within the hospital and at “his” children’s events where he volunteered.But all too soon things started going wrong.The hospital breached its contract with Dr. Neufeld and reneged on its promise to ensure there would be a second doctor in his unit when a surgeon left and was not replaced. He was now the only doctor in all of Idaho who could perform certain complicated medical procedures for patients with severe muscle spasms, which meant that he was effectively on-call 24/7/365.&nbsp;Worried for the lives of his patients, Dr. Neufeld begged the hospital to hire more specialists—to no avail. Eventually, he sought the advice of a lawyer regarding accountability in the event that a child died “on his watch.”Dr. Wible suggests that this was one reason why the hospital eventually turned against him:<blockquote>Was an attorney outside the system consulted? Yes. Going outside the system may be related to the retaliation.</blockquote>&nbsp;Cutting costs, costs livesWhat retaliation? How could a hospital turn against a doctor it had wooed from another state?It only makes sense when viewing a hospital as a business.Dr. Wible describes how it works:<blockquote>To increase profits, hospitals push volume while replacing registered nurses with nurse’s aides, physicians with physician assistants. The few docs still standing have packed schedules&nbsp;and&nbsp;must supervise their “assistants.”Can’t hack it? Leave. By resignation, termination, retirement, even suicide.Or ascend the corporate ladder as a physician executive. An executive’s job is to execute. Meaning both carry out an order and carry out a death sentence. Hospital executives carry out orders that have led to deaths of patients — and doctors like Jay Neufeld.&nbsp;</blockquote>A hospital can save — that is, make — millions of dollars by cutting costs, and if lives are lost, that’s on the doctor, not the institution. And so,&nbsp;<blockquote>Getting one doc to do the job of two or three is a huge financial win. A hospital can save millions by intentionally not hiring physicians to help Neufeld.</blockquote>&nbsp;Who can work 24/7/365?But Dr. Neufeld’s hospital still wasn’t satisfied. In early 2017, when his contract was due to be renewed, he was presented with a 30-percent pay cut. Other than that, his job conditions were identical — he was still the only specialist in his field, he was still constantly de facto on-duty, and his hospital employers were still taking advantage of his ethics and devotion.Once again, Dr. Neufelt attempted to point out the dangers inherent in the situation. Just a few months ago, he had asked for — and been granted — a very short family vacation, along with the promise of a competent doctor being available for his patients while he was gone. Relieved, he headed to the airport with his wife — only to be recalled by the hospital because a patient needed a complex procedure performed and only he could do it. The backup had never been hired.Now he reminded his boss of this incident and once again asked for review.He got it, but not quite the way he expected.&nbsp;$100,000 or your licenseDr. Neufeld was called into his boss’ office where he faced his boss along with three administrators. His request for a review of the specific case was denied — instead, he was given two choices: Sign his new contract with the 30-percent pay cut, or be sent to a psychiatrist who would determined whether he was “impaired.”Says Dr. Wible:<blockquote>Ethical doctors are so painfully naïve; they just can’t think like criminals.</blockquote>Not recognizing the plot for what it was, Dr. Neufeld assumed the psychiatric exam would be genuine and that he would be confirmed as what he was—a competent, caring, capable doctor. He consented to the exam, never imagining that he might actually be declared “impaired” and forced to stop working (anywhere) and undergo “treatment” at the institution chosen by his employer.But that’s what happened, and Dr. Neufeld was forced to travel over two thousand miles to an addiction center in Mississippi and be hospitalized there for a week while he was “evaluated.” For this treatment, he was obligated to pay $100,000. Refusing to comply meant losing his license. He complied.&nbsp;Declared “unfit to practice [corporate] medicine”Physician survivors of that particular institute have told Dr. Wible that it's a place where psychiatrists “lack integrity” and where the “treatment” is a “mind-twisting, gaslighting horror show.”Dr. Neufeld had been told by his hospital that his treatment would be confidential but when he arrived at the addiction center, minus any addiction, he was told to sign away his rights to confidentiality or be reported as noncompliant.He signed, but it was all to no avail. After two weeks his report came back to his hospital declaring him “unfit to practice medicine,” unless he agreed to a six-week hospitalization back at the same addiction center.After Dr. Neufeld was finally discharged, the new contract offered to him included 12 conditions, many of which were insulting and demeaning, not to mention that they prevented him from giving his all to his patients, as he had once been doing:<ul style="list-style-type:circle;"><li>He needed to have a “workside monitor” who would oversee his work</li><li>He and his wife had to begin marriage counseling, both as a couple and individually</li><li>He had to keep “regular” work hours</li><li>He was not allowed to volunteer for any committees</li><li>He was not permitted to give his cell number to patients’ families</li><li>He had to complete a monthly “Boundary Violation Index” which effectively prevented him from making house calls</li><li>He would remain under surveillance for years to come, including twice-yearly visits to the addiction center for check-ups</li></ul>&nbsp;Gaslit and betrayedWorse still, the report claimed that Dr. Neufeld “avoided accountability” and blamed others for failings, and that he “might still face challenges recognizing and respecting authority.”&nbsp;He was also diagnosed with “mild major depression,” narcissism, and perfectionism. The report also stated that he had “trouble delegating.” There was no mention of the inconvenient fact that there was nobody he could delegate to, nor that he had begged for assistance numerous times only to be rebuffed.&nbsp;And discardedDevastating as it was to accept his new terms of employment, Dr. Neufeld had no other option. He signed.Apparently his employer had not anticipated this turn of events. She had never intended his return to work. In fact, she had already ordered his office contents packed in boxes and when he turned up at the hospital, he was not even granted access to them.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dr. J hanged himself.Dr. Wible writes:<blockquote>I consider Dr. J’s suicide a homicide. Capital punishment—since he didn’t generate enough capital.</blockquote>&nbsp;Dr. J didn't kill a single patient. But his hospital killed himDr. Neufeld left behind a suicide video in which he said:<blockquote>In the end, I do blame everything on the mismanagement for handling of this whole thing by my hospital ... I just can’t seem to overcome the disappointment, shame, my own failure, and my inability to communicate the deep pain that I feel from my failure, my depression, my burnout, the lack of help...It’s clearly documented that there was no call coverage for my patients for years. It was just me. There was no help at all...They wouldn’t let me go back to work...Please God forgive me, forgive me for all my sins ... I did not hurt anybody. Nobody died. There were no serious mistakes...</blockquote>He then appealed for change:<blockquote>Hospitals have to do a better job at helping doctors ... We are being disposed of ... My hospital has clearly failed and people need to understand that you have got to help more doctors. That you can’t treat us this way. It’s cruel ... I hope that maybe someone will pay attention to this because I don’t want more doctors to do what I am about to do.</blockquote>To be continued…

<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.
