Rabbi Chananya Weissman is boldly daring to speak out against the COVID narrative and all forms of tyranny in a way that few have over the past three years. In his prolific <a href="https://www.chananyaweissman.com/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">writing</a> on recent world events, he is truth-centered, no-nonsense, and unconcerned with popular opinion.Although he describes himself as “quiet and shy” in his personal life, Rabbi Weissman feels strongly about speaking out when injustice rears its head:&nbsp;<blockquote>When I see something I think is wrong and I see a void that needs to be filled or something that needs to be said, I’m not going to be afraid to say it. And from a very early age, I really had that.</blockquote>Rabbi Weissman grew up in New York (he now resides in Israel), one of seven children in an Orthodox Jewish family. While providing a strong grounding in observant Jewish life for all their children, his parents also made a point of treating each child as an individual with different needs and inclinations. The Weissman siblings were encouraged to think for themselves and be “the people [they] were meant to be.” This gave Rabbi Weissman a foundation of freedom from which to develop and start expressing his own unique thoughts about the world around him.As a college student in his early 20’s, Rabbi Weissman began speaking out in a big way. Over time, he had noticed problematic attitudes and teachings developing within the Orthodox Jewish world of dating and matchmaking and began a grassroots campaign called “End the Madness” in response. Rabbi Weissman observed that no one else was speaking up about these issues and stepped up to fill the void.Rabbi Weissman was a self-described “nobody” at the time — a college student who was not yet an ordained rabbi — but he didn’t let this stop him. He courageously challenged prominent rabbis for declining to address the issues and for presenting views on dating that he felt had no precedent in Jewish history, law, and practice. This thought empowered him:&nbsp;<blockquote>What am I doing studying the Torah if I’m not capable of thinking for myself and at least questioning what people are saying? If they’re saying something that’s obviously wrong with what I’m learning . . . we have to be able to judge that for ourselves and we have to have the courage to say something.</blockquote>“End the Madness” received considerable attention and media coverage. As it gained more publicity, many people encouraged Rabbi Weissman to “tone down” the messaging, warning that speaking about the issues in such an unabashed and at times harshly critical way would turn people off. Rabbi Weissman emphasized his goal of speaking truth, rather than attracting large numbers of supporters:&nbsp;<blockquote>I said, ‘Look, the world is full of people who are playing that game, who are trying to soften the message and be people-pleasers. The world has to have room for one person who is going to say the truth like it is, even if it turns people off.’</blockquote><blockquote>I think it’s very important that if people are going to speak out about an injustice, they have to really feel strongly about what they’re saying, feel strongly that it’s the truth, and even if it’s an unpopular opinion, they’re not trying to cater to the crowd or win people to their side per se. They’re trying to say the truth even if people don’t like them for it or punish them for it. They’re saying it because it needs to be said and not because people want them to be saying it.</blockquote>Fast-forward to today: Rabbi Weissman’s priority of speaking the truth has served him well with the emergence of COVID and global tyranny. His current activities focus largely on writing about the Torah perspective on world events, and guiding people, based on the Torah view, as it relates to COVID, masks, shots, and beyond. He sees this as a void that very few rabbis have been addressing. Among many other topics he writes about the messages God might be sending us through world events and looks at medical treatments and the role of doctors through the lens of the Torah.Rabbi Weissman comments that the article that seems to have made the most impact thus far is entitled “<a href="https://www.chananyaweissman.com/article.php?id=263" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">31 Reasons Why I Won’t Take the Vaccine</a>”. The article is written from a simple, common-sense perspective on “why it just didn’t seem like a good idea.” The rabbi sent the article to his email list and to his surprise, its reach spread rapidly from there. The next day it was posted on a blog he’d never heard of, and then he started receiving emails from people around the world who found it helpful. Many shared with him that they were on the fence about taking the shots, or were under pressure from others, and that his article had given them the clarity and strength to say no. Rabbi Weissman comments, “Knowing that there are lots of people in the world who didn’t take these death shots because of an article I wrote is very gratifying.”<figure class="image image-style-align-right image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/aflds/image/upload/v1674635803/Rabbi_Weissmandel_43508852b4.jpg"><figcaption>Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl</figcaption></figure>Rabbi Weissman has been compared to another rabbi who also bravely spoke out for truth on behalf of others: Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl (1903-1956). Rabbi Weissmandl was a Slovakian Jew who worked tirelessly with underground groups to try to save European Jewry during the Holocaust. He passed direct evidence of what was happening to the Jews in the Nazi concentration camps to the Allies and other world leaders, imploring them to bomb the crematoria. Tragically, this lone voice speaking truth was largely ignored.Rabbi Weissman comments on the comparison:<blockquote>I’m not trying to emulate [Rabbi Weissmandl] per sé — although of course, he’s an inspiration — I’m just trying to be me. So, I don’t think [the comparison] is fair for him because he’s much greater than I am, and I’m doing my own thing. But in terms of principle — people speaking out and [others] largely not paying attention — it doesn’t bother me much anymore because I realize throughout Jewish history we’ve had prophets — people much, much greater than me — who have given much more authoritative warnings than I’m capable of giving, and they were also ignored or treated much, much worse. So, I can’t take it personally or be bothered too much by the fact that not everybody’s listening to me. It’s very hard to change anyone’s mind about anything today. People are so stuck in their ways and the propaganda’s so strong that all you’re able to do is put some knowledge out there, give people the opportunity to consider the information that you’re giving them and if they want, they will change their own minds. I’m not going to get hung up on changing other people’s minds because it’s impossible. . . . We have an obligation to say the truth and do the right thing even if nobody listens to us.</blockquote><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe class="rumble" width="100%" height="500" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v1hgefh/?pub=4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>What words of encouragement would Rabbi Weissman give to someone who wants to make a positive difference in the world today, but feels held back by fears, self-doubts, or even laziness?He says the first step is to recognize that these feelings come from the negative side of us, rather than the true positive core of who we are, and that we need to and can work to overcome them. Rabbi Weissman observes that often the hardest part of moving from negative thoughts and feelings into positive action is simply getting started. Once you take a few small steps forward, the process usually starts to flow more easily from there.&nbsp;Second, Rabbi Weissman notes that it is vital to identify your unique path for making a difference. What are your natural, God-given gifts, talents, and abilities? Feel confident about doing something that is the best fit for you, rather than trying to be something you’re not. For Rabbi Weissman, choosing to express his thoughts on the world’s direction through writing that utilized his Torah knowledge was a natural path to take; those were areas he knew he had skill in and gravitated toward. He comments:<blockquote>We live in a time where people are naturally unsatisfied with their identities, with what they’re doing in life. They’re having crises . . . making changes . . . instead of people embracing the talents and the gifts that God gave them. . . . If people are born with a talent for something or they particularly enjoy something, that’s a subtle sign from God that that’s where He wants them to go in life. . . . [T]he only way that we’ll be truly fulfilled is if we are who we are meant to be and if we’re using the gifts that God gave us instead of letting them lie dormant and knocking our heads against the wall to try to be something that we weren’t meant to be.</blockquote>Rabbi Weissman emphasizes that making space for some regular quiet time in our lives can help enormously on the journey toward discovering how we can make our unique contribution. Turning off the TV and the phone, stepping away from the hectic busyness that encompasses so much of our lives, and taking quiet moments to think about the bigger picture of who we are and what we’re here to do in life is vital.&nbsp;Third, Rabbi Weissman stresses that you don’t have to be a big public figure in order to make a difference. Focus on speaking to the people immediately around you — family, friends, your social circles, fellow congregants at your place of worship — and just try to “plant seeds” of information in their hearts and minds:<blockquote>You don’t have to be a warrior who’s fighting the whole world. The job of most of us is to try to make a difference amongst those who are immediately around us. . . . Be the one who speaks out to those people. . . . Try to make a difference, try to open up people’s minds a little bit, and even if they’re not going to listen, you’re planting a seed in their minds. . . . You never know how that seed might sprout at a later time.</blockquote><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe class="rumble" width="100%" height="500" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vqnre1/?pub=4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>

This rabbi refuses to be silent in the face of tyranny

Exclusive Holocaust Day interview with Rabbi Chananya Weissman: 'Obligation to say the truth'

<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.

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.
