<a href="https://americasfrontlinenews.com/post/explosive-leaked-audio-dr-ellie-carmody-of-jowma-admits-lack-of-confidence-in-sales-pitch-for-covid-shots" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">by Rabbi Chananya Weissman</a>Blima Marcus is one of the fiercest pro-vaccination activists within the Jewish world.&nbsp; She has been working closely with the government to produce and disseminate material tailored to persuade Orthodox Jews.&nbsp; As Jewish-appearing comrade&nbsp;<a href="https://americasfrontlinenews.com/post/report-baltimore-jewish-community-injection-campaign-administered-by-george-soros" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Laura Kurcfeld emphasized in a recently leaked conference call</a>, recruiting people “who look like me” to push pharmaceutical products is a critical part of their strategy to obtain the community's trust.&nbsp;When watching these conversations between glorified drug-pushers that the sheep were not supposed to hear, one is struck by how much they fret over “trust”.&nbsp;Their greatest concern is that people will “lose trust” in the priests of the medical cult.&nbsp; The conversations revolve around strategies they can employ to overcome this and similar “challenges”.Consistently telling the truth, being transparent, modifying their beliefs in light of new information, displaying humility, steering clear of bribery and other conflicts of interest, and otherwise being trustworthy are not among these strategies.&nbsp;Blima Marcus&nbsp;introduced herself to the Jewish world as an ultra-Orthodox nurse, a highly dubious self-identification, though most convenient for insinuating herself into the community and performing, as she calls it, “vaccination outreach”.&nbsp; Oddly, in the same thread she also referred to herself as “a liberal Democrat”, which would make her a unicorn.&nbsp;She later stated: “I imagine a world where all of the frum (religious) media had a unified, supportive message for public health policies from the start of the pandemic. Things would be so different.”&nbsp; Indeed, pushing vaccines on everyone would be much easier without voices of dissent against the government with whom she collaborates.<figure class="image image-style-align-right image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/aflds/image/upload/v1660764336/aflds/image_2022_08_17_18_18_44_7cfcbeff91.png"></figure>Marcus has a strong social media presence (highly unusual for an “ultra-Orthodox Jew”), and her manner toward those who are skeptical of establishment positions is often <a href="https://www.americasfrontlinenews.com/post/the-ugly-face-of-hatred-with-dr-josh-guetzkow-part-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">malicious, even abusive</a>.Marcus's vaccination outreach bears more resemblance to <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/319133" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">forcible conversions</a>.&nbsp;Indeed, she openly supports vaccine mandates – a sanitized term for having the government force people to take injections against their will, which anyone with a sense of decency should abhor.&nbsp;Marcus is President of an organization called EMES Initiative, which, like <a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/2/frontlinenews/front-groups-unmasking-jowma-the-jewish-orthodox-womens-medical-association/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">JOWMA</a>, is a front organization of Jewish-appearing vaccine-pushers to propagandize in Orthodox Jewish communities.&nbsp; “Emes” is the Hebrew word for truth, though, as we shall see, it is yet another dubious self-identification.One&nbsp;propaganda booklet from EMES, which was disseminated by the government of New York City, contains a “<a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/aflds/image/upload/v1660760701/aflds/parents_informed_and_educated_booklet_91b1b161c8.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cheat sheet</a>” that attacks “anti-vaccination sources”.&nbsp;Marcus and her comrades define the dreaded “anti-vaxxers” as “people who oppose vaccination or laws that mandate vaccination”.&nbsp; Just a few paragraphs later, however, they deceptively write that “we strongly believe in parental choice”.&nbsp;If Marcus had her way, what “choice” would people actually have?&nbsp; Take a vaccine or else.&nbsp;Marcus regularly defames people who wish to choose what, if any, pharmaceutical products they inject in themselves and their children.&nbsp; In the “cheat sheet” she helped create she accuses them of using “biased sources”.&nbsp; As it states, being “affiliated with an anti-vaccination organization” automatically renders one biased, and discredits any information from such a person.&nbsp;This is circular logic.&nbsp; After all, what sort of organization would one expect people who independently arrived at these conclusions to join?&nbsp; Vaccines For All?&nbsp; On what basis does association with an organization that doesn't kneel before the vaccine gods render one “biased” to the point of immediate disqualification?&nbsp;And why does the same rule not apply to Blima Marcus and her cohorts at “vaccination outreach” organizations?Most incredibly, they add that “if a study was sponsored by a pharmaceutical company, it can be considered biased as well”.&nbsp; &nbsp;Insert your own punchline.&nbsp;<figure class="image image-style-align-center"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/aflds/image/upload/v1660764399/aflds/image_2022_08_17_18_18_29_e89bfb99cb.png"></figure>They further accuse “anti-vaxxers” of cherry picking information that suits their agenda,&nbsp; noting that this is “a common propaganda tactic”.&nbsp; File that away for now.Then they accuse “anti-vaxxers” of stating “pure lies”.&nbsp; Of course they do; they call their vaccine-pushing organization EMES, truth.&nbsp; Just like Fauci is science, Blima Marcus is truth, and those who have unfavorable opinions about the products she pushes must be pure liars.&nbsp;What's most amusing about this “intellectual” response to “anti-vaxxers” is that the booklet accuses them of spreading false information “for reasons we cannot understand”.&nbsp; After all, what incentive is there for people to express skepticism about vaccines?&nbsp;Unlike establishment drug-pushers, they will not be richly rewarded with government grants, “consulting fees” from drug companies, prestigious positions, and adulation from the establishment.&nbsp;Could it be that some “anti-vaxxers” independently drew their own conclusions about certain pharmaceutical products?&nbsp; Could it be that some of them arrived at their beliefs the hard way, through devastating personal experience with these products, and therefore do not concur with Marcus's 5-star reviews?&nbsp; Could it be that professionals with far greater knowledge and experience than Marcus believe her information is false, and have the integrity to jeopardize everything to say so?One can well understand why vaccine-pushers like Blima Marcus might, in theory, spread false information.&nbsp; But one is indeed hard-pressed to understand why, circumstances being what they are, her opponents would do the same.Perhaps the most amusing, least self-aware part of the EMES “cheat sheet” is the accusation that “those who promote 'vaccine choice'” did not allow Marcus and company to “ask important questions” on their hotlines, and did not reply to their emails.&nbsp; For people on that side of the discussion to whine about not being given a forum, their voices not being heard, and their questions not being answered is enough to discredit them without further examination.Remember, this ridiculous propaganda, projecting all the sins of vaccine-pushers onto those who oppose them, was incorporated into New York City's official material.Back to Blima Marcus.&nbsp; With this lengthy introduction in mind, a recently leaked video of this “ultra-Orthodox” queen of vaccines is explosive.&nbsp; In a conference call with&nbsp;Dr. Jane Zucker, Assistant Commissioner, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Marcus took off her mask and dropped any pretense of integrity, or, shall we say, emes.&nbsp;“As I think you know already from our conversations,” began Marcus, “my goals, at least in the [Orthodox Jewish] community are twofold: increase vaccinations for, you know, when appropriate – which in this case is basically always appropriate and for everyone – as well as be very careful with how we talk about what's happening in, you know, on the ground, as that relates to public trust, because that's ultimately the crisis we have.&nbsp; I mean, across America, but in our community.&nbsp; That's my concern.”<div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe class="rumble" width="100%" height="500" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v1dqbu1/?pub=4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>As far as Blima Marcus is concerned, her life is not complete until every Orthodox Jew – men, women and children – takes the Covid shots.&nbsp; They are always appropriate, and there are no exceptions.&nbsp;Clearly, her obsession with a syringe in every arm far transcends science.At the same time, she recognizes that she and her needle-wielding comrades have to be very careful about how they present their message.&nbsp; After all, there are those pesky issues with “public trust” they have to navigate.&nbsp;Those who speak the truth, whose positions are firmly rooted in truth, tend not to agonize over “public trust”.&nbsp; They tend not to worry about it at all.&nbsp;Blima Marcus, despite calling her organization EMES (truth), who is promoting the most wonderful life-giving products, and whose opponents allegedly spread “pure lies”, seems to be having great difficulty with “public trust”.&nbsp; It's a crisis!&nbsp;Remarkable, isn't it?Now comes the real bombshell.“There was an <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MMWR [Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report]</a> today...the New York Times reported it, so I expect to get slammed with that, which found that people with prior COVID infection...they found that when it came to the Delta variant, those who had prior infection and no vaccines fared the best in terms of lowest cases, and possibly lowest hospitalizations.”One would have expected a religious person, a medical professional, a person of truth who rails against spreaders of false information, to embrace this data.&nbsp; But Blima Marcus prefaced her remarks about this data by doubling down on her position that the COVID shot “is basically always appropriate and for everyone”.&nbsp;The fact that a new report indicated the precise opposite – that for at least a significant number of people the best outcome correlated specifically to not having taken the shots – was not cause for Marcus to modify her position accordingly. &nbsp;Rather, it presented a logistical problem with continuing to push the shots for all people, all the time.“So that brings us back to, you know, the conversations we've all had in the past, and keep raising, which is, you know, how do we tailor this message to a community that has had high infection rates and very low vaccination rates, when they see this data?”&nbsp;Blima Marcus then acknowledged <a href="https://americasfrontlinenews.com/post/explosive-leaked-audio-dr-ellie-carmody-of-jowma-admits-lack-of-confidence-in-sales-pitch-for-covid-shots" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dr. Ellie Carmody</a>, the disgraced JOWMA comrade who expressed a lack of confidence in her own sales pitch, yet had no moral qualms with continuing to push the product.Marcus continued expressing her concerns to Jane Zucker.&nbsp; “So I guess I want to hear your thoughts – and I completely want to just acknowledge that you're in a very difficult situation where I fully understand what public health messaging has to remain, which is that vaccination during a pandemic is the way forward, and I fully agree with that, while also acknowledging that we serve a community that can be very challenging.”For people of integrity, for people of science, the correct approach would be obvious: change your approach to align with reality.&nbsp; For vaccine-pushing prostitutes targeting the demographic least advised to take the shots, however, this was a serious problem.&nbsp; The people would see the data.&nbsp; One way or another, however, reality would have to be altered to suit the agenda.&nbsp; The “public health messaging” must stay the same, irrespective of inconvenient new information.Nothing would have made Blima Marcus happier than for the data to be buried, or for her target population – a “challenging” bunch of people – to remain unaware of it.&nbsp;The EMES “cheat sheet” declares that “You deserve honest information.”&nbsp; It decries those who demonstrate bias, cherry pick information, mislead people, spread false information, and engage in “irresponsible actions”.Maybe she can get a government grant for a mirror.&nbsp;It's time she and her comrades took a long, honest look at themselves.

Leaked: Vaccine extremist Blima Marcus colludes to spin inconvenient data - Commentary

<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.

A British vigilante group known as the “Blade Runners” is receiving widespread support from British taxpayers as it continues to destroy climate surveillance cameras across London.<h2>The ULEZ mandate</h2>By order of London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the city is peppered with ultra-low emission zones (ULEZs), areas accessible only to low-emission vehicles. Cars that do not meet the city’s environmental standards are charged £12.50 ($16) for entering the ULEZ. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras positioned around the zones read license plates and check them against the vehicles’ make and model in real time. If a vehicle does not meet the environmental threshold, a fine is levied against the car owner.&nbsp;The ULEZ climate mandate has drawn heavy&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/london-hundreds-protest-against-climate-mandates">protests</a> from residents, including&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/british-veteran-launches-hunger-strike-as-unrest-grows-over-climate-mandates">hunger strikes</a> and refusals to pay fines. Taxpayers have also taken to disabling the ANPR surveillance cameras which Transport for London (TfL), the city’s transportation department, said will be used both for climate and law enforcement.<h2>Taxpayers cheer the ‘Blade Runners’</h2>Since the climate restrictions were expanded last year, the Blade Runners have taken to disabling and destroying hundreds of cameras. Between April and September 2023, Metropolitan Police recorded 200 reports of cameras being stolen and 595 reports of cameras being vandalized.TfL began placing black boxes around ULEZ camera wirings to protect them from being cut, but taxpayers found other ways to disable the cameras — like removing them completely.<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"> MUST SEE: Blade Runners topple THREE ULEZ cameras in a coordinated strike… The people are fighting back! <a href="https://t.co/Yvr2Xr7Lun">pic.twitter.com/Yvr2Xr7Lun</a>— David Morgan #StayFree (@david_r_morgan) <a href="https://twitter.com/david_r_morgan/status/1802726912050995623?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 17, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>In response, the city&nbsp;<a href="https://frontline.news/post/london-taxpayers-attack-surveillance-vans-in-continued-revolt">deployed</a> mobile surveillance vans mounted with ANPR cameras across London in the hopes of evading attacks, but Blade Runners soon began targeting those as well.

Last weekend, Blade Runners used power tools to topple a ULEZ camera and traffic lights to the delight of some fellow taxpayers.

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.
