Frontline News&nbsp;recently covered the actions of Israeli bureaucrats and their supporters attempting to keep elected officials “<a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/israel-deep-state-assumes-alarm-posture">subordinate</a>” to them and their unpopular policies, including the history of governmental <a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/us-refuses-to-support-iranian-protestors">support</a> for the Soviet-backed revolution in Iran. We also covered how Israeli state actors in its health ministry <a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/everybody-knows-corruption-in-america-and-around-the-world">deceived</a> Israelis about the safety of the mRNA injections.Israel's elected officials have also put Israelis in danger, bringing thousands of Marxist operatives into Israel and providing them with land, money, weapons, armored vehicles, and military training, immediately after the head of the nation's Labor Party (a&nbsp;party which was a <a href="https://www.jpost.com/bds-threat/israels-labor-party-quits-socialist-international-after-it-adopts-bds-562149">member</a> of the Socialist International until a recent dispute with them) won a political <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-09-04-mn-6429-story.html">campaign</a> with a “pre-election promise that he would oppose a Palestinian state.”DeceptionMembers of the PLO, an organization dominated by the Marxist-Leninist PFLP and Al Fatah which is a member party of the Socialist International, were&nbsp;<a href="http://www.hirhome.com/israel/manhigut_email.htm">run out</a> of Lebanon and “languished far away, in Tunisian exile” before unelected Israeli bureaucrats began secret, illegal talks to bring them into Israel and provide them with land, money and guns, while deceiving Israelis about exactly who was being invited into their nation:<blockquote>Israeli leaders concealed from the Israeli public that&nbsp;<a href="http://www.hirhome.com/israel/pal_mov4.htm#final_solution">Al Fatah was spawned by the leadership of the German Nazi Final Solution</a>.</blockquote>Israeli state operatives, together with their supporters in the Knesset, instead, worked to calm citizens with promises of peace. But they never backtracked when attacks quintupled after the PLO’s arrival.&nbsp; PLO officials , in fact, expressed publicly that they intended to use their newly acquired land in the next stage of the PLO's “phased plan” to wage a guerrilla war to destroy Israel.Terrorizing Jewish citizens&nbsp;Israel's unelected bureaucracy pushed through an agreement by which billions of dollars of customs taxes Israel collects at its borders<a href="https://www.btselem.org/freedom_of_movement/paris_protocol">&nbsp;are transferred</a> to the<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/middle-east/plo">&nbsp;PLO-controlled</a> Palestinian Authority (PA), despite the PA not needing to fund an army to defend its own borders as the Israeli army defends those borders. When the PA was caught giving a large percentage of those funds to convicted murderers and their families, as an incentive for future murderers, the elected members of Israel’s Knesset (legislature) passed a law, with the overwhelming support of the populace, requiring the government to deduct the amount of money the PA transfers to “terrorists” and their families.&nbsp;To circumvent this law, Israel's unelected bureaucrats put out claims that the PA was “unstable” due to a lack of funds, despite receiving <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?460344-1/jared-kushner-discusses-trump-administrations-middle-east-peace-efforts&amp;start=1459">more aid</a> “than any group of people in history,” including<a href="https://unitedwithisrael.org/palestinians-get-4-times-more-aid-than-other-refugees/">&nbsp;four times</a> more aid than refugees in other groups. Unelected officials attended closed door meetings with elected officials like then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to warn of an impending <a href="https://www.rt.com/news/328069-netanyahu-palestinian-authority-collapse/">collapse</a> of the PA, threatening that an even more extreme entity will replace the PA (as opposed to simply continuing to rule but spending less on equipment, training, and salaries for murderers).&nbsp;Assured of public backing, Netanyahu in 2020 allowed the resumption of funding to the PA violating that law.&nbsp; Unsurprisingly, the PA continued to pass the money to convicted murderers. World Israel News<a href="https://worldisraelnews.com/outrage-as-israel-fails-to-stop-transfer-of-funds-to-pa-earmarked-for-terrorist-salaries/?ios_app=true">&nbsp;reported</a>:<blockquote>The opposition slammed the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu . . . following reports that Israel failed to stop the transfer of hundreds of millions in tax money to the Palestinian Authority that it uses to pay convicted terrorists and their families.A report by Kan Radio . . . revealed that despite a new law forcing Israel to deduct the amount of money equal to <a href="https://worldisraelnews.com/terror-stipends-cost-palestinians-138m-in-withheld-tax-revenues/?ios_app=true">the “pay-for-slay” salaries</a>, the entire amount has been transferred to the PA for the past two months.</blockquote>Netanyahu even turned to the U.S. for help funding the PA, only to be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Netanyahu-requests-US-transfer-funds-to-PA-Trump-refuses-607112">turned down</a>.&nbsp; As reported in 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>The more taxpayer money the PA receives, from both Israeli citizens and citizens of other nations that “donate” part of their tax collections to the PA, also allows the PA to expand its workforce, a workforce whose members are sometimes encouraged to carry out Islamic attacks. The more employees on the PA payroll, the more people there are who may find it difficult to refuse to participate in an attack planned or supported by their employer, after being a member of the organization and receiving a relatively high salary for some time.One UK <a href="https://ejpress.org/british-government-aid-to-palestinian-authority-funding-terror/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">study </a>specifically found that PA employees were taking part in attacks.<blockquote>An independent British study has found that a UK grant provided to the Palestinian Authority is “more likely” to boost terrorism, as the funding has been used to support civil servants convicted of carrying out terrorist acts.According to the Telegraph on Sunday, the Overseas Development Institute said in its report that a £156.4 million ($221.7 million) UK aid project to the PA encouraged civil servants to take part in “active conflict,” as their families would still receive a salary even if they were jailed for criminal activity, including terrorism.The paper noted that the British taxpayer was actively funding Palestinian terrorism.</blockquote>Terrorizing Arab citizens&nbsp;Israel cannot be accused of bringing the PLO to Israel to benefit Israeli Arabs, as the mere presence of PLO leader Yasser Arafat&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wnd.com/2005/09/32263/">endangered</a> countless Palestinian teenagers. According to an ex-NSA analyst, Arafat preyed on boys. &nbsp;He said,<blockquote>Arafat always had several of these 13-15 year old boys in his entourage. We figured out that he would often recall several of these boys to Beirut just before he would leave for a trip outside Lebanon. It proved to be a good indicator of Arafat's travel plans. While Arafat did have a regular security detail, many of those thought to be security personnel – the teenage boys – were actually there for other purposes. [Emphases added].</blockquote>Adult Arabs were in&nbsp;<a href="https://attacreport.com/ar_archives/next_target_b.htm">danger</a> as well.<blockquote>As in any communist revolution, the PLO must use terrorism against the very people it claims to be liberating, in order to create an illusion of popular support for the intifada. For many years, the PLO had already been directing many of its terrorist attacks against palestinians [sic] and Arabs in general. In the intifada, this violence is now used against palestinians [sic] in the West Bank and Gaza.&nbsp;</blockquote>The goal was generally to coerce Arabs to join strikes, protests, and riots.<blockquote>Merchants who fail to close their shops when a strike is called, or who do not pay taxes to the PLO, have their shops burned to the ground; buses that carry palestinians [sic] to work in Israel are also burned, keeping the workers from earning the money to feed their families.&nbsp;</blockquote>Often, though, the violence was not directed at political opponents or those who refused to join riots.<blockquote>Terror squads receiving money and orders from the PLO, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas attack people they accuse of collaborating with Israel, although the PLO itself admits the majority of such accusations are false. As one journalist has described it, the purpose is purely to intimidate:&nbsp;“Palestinians live in daily terror of these squads. Some common murder techniques are beheading, mutilation, gouging out eyes, cutting off ears or limbs, and pouring molten plastic or acid on a victim’s face.” Often the victim is shot or stabbed in broad daylight, in full view of palestinian [sic] bystanders.&nbsp;</blockquote>By 1994, a staggering number of Arabs had been killed by Arafat’s squads.<blockquote>Some one thousand palestinians [sic] have been killed by the terror squads, and many others injured.</blockquote>Elites not in dangerThe highest ranking leaders of Israel need not worry that the terror they have funded will directly affect them, as they do not ride public transportation, sit in unguarded eateries, or frequent other such targets. Nor is there any danger to foreign leaders who publicly pressure Israel to continue funding the PA, pushing wavering Israeli politicians to back down from threats to halt the funding while providing cover to those politicians who want to continue the funding but need an excuse to explain their actions to a weary public.Recently, the Israeli public expressed their disdain for the risks to their security taken by their leaders by voting in political parties promising to end the funding of murder. The reaction from the US administration was swift. The Algemeiner <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2023/01/10/us-israels-withholding-of-funds-over-palestinian-terrorism-exacerbates-tensions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reports</a>:&nbsp;<blockquote>US State Department spokesman Ned Price on Monday described a series of Israeli measures meant to curb and punish Palestinian terrorism as a “unilateral move” that “exacerbates tensions.”As part of the measures, Israel on Sunday&nbsp;transferred&nbsp;$39.5 million of taxes and tariffs collected for the P.A. to the victims of terrorism&nbsp;and their families.At a press conference, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said, “We promised to fix this, and today we are correcting an injustice. This is an important day for morality, for justice and for the fight against terrorism. There is no greater justice than offsetting the funds of the [Palestinian] Authority, which acts to support terrorism, and transferring them to the families of the victims of terrorism.”The Security Cabinet also decided to immediately withhold taxes and tariffs collected on behalf of the P.A., in an amount equal to that which Ramallah paid to terrorists and their families in 2022 as part of its “pay-for-slay” policy.&nbsp;In 2021, the P.A. paid out an estimated 512 million shekels ($157 million) as part of this initiative.When asked about the possible economic collapse of the P.A., Smotrich replied, “As long as the Palestinian Authority encourages terrorism and is an enemy, what interest do I have in helping it exist?”</blockquote>Neither Price nor any other U.S. leader claimed that American citizens wanted their tax dollars, or Israeli tax dollars for that matter, to go to the PA or to subsidize the PA's “pay-for-slay” program.&nbsp;More coverageCheck back as we report on tyrannical leaders and unelected bureaucrats acting against their own populaces in China, Cuba, and Iran, and read our previous articles exposing despotism.<ol><li><a href="https://americasfrontlinenews.com/post/cheney-admits-hiding-leadership-of-globalist-group-from-voters">WATCH: Cheney laughs about hiding leadership of globalist group from voters</a></li><li><a href="https://americasfrontlinenews.com/post/fox-censoring-tucker">Who's behind Fox censoring Tucker?

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.

The European Union (EU) is considering subjecting foreign travelers to lie detector tests administered by AI technology.&nbsp;<h2>How would it work?</h2>Authorities at airports and ferry ports would use cameras equipped with machine-learning software to detect whether a person is being untruthful. As travelers fill out their entry applications, their eye, facial, and behavioral movements would be analyzed. If the camera indicates the traveler is lying, the software will send an alert to an immigration officer who will investigate.The technology has already been successfully tested in trials conducted by EU countries in the last few years. iBorderCtrl and TRESPASS, two such trials, explored how to create an automated border control system. Several features were tested, including the lie detector tests described above. They also piloted a feature in which AI software scans the social media accounts of travelers before granting them entry.Critics of the lie-detection scheme include Patrick Breyer, a German MEP. Breyer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13534215/Outrage-British-tourists-going-away-EU-countries-face-lie-detector-test-carried-artificial-intelligence-granted-entry.html">told</a> The Mail on Sunday that the technology is “pseudoscience” that threatens to profile the wrong people.&nbsp;“It will discriminate against anyone who is disabled or who has an anxious personality. It will not work,” said Breyer.<h2>Part of the Entry-Exit System</h2>If the EU decides to implement AI-powered lie detection, it will likely be introduced as part of the new Entry-Exit System (EES) due to take effect on October 6th. EES will replace the passport-stamping process by having foreign travelers apply for entry through self-service kiosks. These kiosks will collect the travelers’ biometric data, including their fingerprints and facial images.These data will eventually be stored in the Common Identity Repository (CIR), a massive database being built by the EU. The CIR will be capable of storing biometric files on 300 million individuals.&nbsp;<h2>EES for outsiders, digital ID for insiders</h2>While the EU prepares to roll out the EES for foreigners, including British citizens, it is also rolling out a digital ID program for EU citizens .Regulations that took effect last month&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/europe-launches-digital-id-scheme/">require</a> EU&nbsp;Member States in the European Union to provide a digital ID wallet to their citizens by 2026 which must conform to the European Union Digital Identity (EUDI) wallet specifications. These specifications include the ability to store a taxpayer’s identity papers, such as driver’s licenses, health insurance cards, diplomas and other official documents.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>How will the wallet be used?</h2>The digital wallet will allow access to both public and private services. Uses include making payments, opening a bank account, getting prescriptions, signing contracts, traveling, accessing government services, receiving social security benefits, logging into social media accounts, and more.&nbsp;“It can also be used to facilitate the freedom of movement by storing documents such as the European Health Insurance Card,” explains the European Commission (EC) on its&nbsp;<a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eudi-wallet-implementation">website</a>.Under the current rules, the EUDI wallet will be optional for taxpayers.&nbsp;<h2>Critics raise concerns about the wallet</h2>The EUDI wallet’s main selling point is that users will be able to share only the details necessary to authenticate themselves for a given service. All other personal information will remain hidden. The EC expects this feature to satisfy widespread privacy concerns.But concerns about the wallet remain. The main worry is that while users only share those details that are necessary, the government can decide at any point which information is “necessary” to share. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, the European Commission made proof of vaccination necessary to access services and establishments. Prior to that, each taxpayer’s health information was considered confidential.
