The Hill, owned by the largest television station owner in the United States, Nexstar Media Group, is <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/4354004-this-is-bigger-than-covid-why-are-so-many-americans-dying-early/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">asking</a> about the pink elephant in the room, running the headline:&nbsp;<blockquote>This is bigger than COVID: Why are so many Americans dying early?</blockquote>'It can't be the vaccine, what else happened?'The Hill specified the extent of the so called “excess deaths”:<blockquote>People are dying in abnormally high numbers even now and long since COVID-19 waned. Yet public health agencies and medical societies are silent.&nbsp;Life insurers have been consistently sounding the alarm over these unexpected or, “excess,” deaths, which claimed&nbsp;158,000&nbsp;more Americans&nbsp;in the first nine months of 2023 than in the same period in 2019. That exceeds America’s combined losses from&nbsp;every war&nbsp;since Vietnam.&nbsp;</blockquote>The increase comes out to over 210,000 additional deaths in America per year, extrapolating from the 158,000 figure for nine months. Had some 210,000 death certificates been listing the cause of death as myocarditis or a stroke “following COVID vaccination,” over the past 12 months, there would be no need to ask why in 2023, post-COVID, we are experiencing so many more deaths than the pre-COVID baseline year of 2019.&nbsp;This is only a question because so few deaths following mRNA injections were officially listed as vaccine deaths. It is evident, however, from VAERS (the vaccine adverse event reporting system) that is open to patients and their families, in addition to medical professionals, to report vaccine injuries and deaths that have followed vaccinations. This has been true of all vaccinations, not just COVID, as reported by Frontline News in <a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/news/post/its-not-the-vaccine-what-else-happened/">'It’s not the vaccine. What else happened?'</a><blockquote>Many people don’t even know of the existence of VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System]. Others, though, may have followed up a vaccine injury with a report to VAERS if they weren’t discouraged by medical staff from making a connection to the vaccine.For example, Maddie de Garay of Ohio, who participated in Pfizer’s clinical trial for 12 to 15 year olds, immediately felt pain after the second shot, ”and over the next 24-hours she developed severe abdominal and chest pain,” was initially diagnosed as having a vaccine reaction at the emergency room and wound up in a wheelchair with a feeding tube. Nonetheless, medical staff eventually backtracked and diagnosed her with “anxiety.”&nbsp;Participating in Senator Johnson’s “Give an Ear Panel" in June, Maddie’s mother testified,“This concerned us, and we didn’t agree with it because she doesn’t have anxiety. Look at her. I mean what 13-year-old can sit here calmly if they have anxiety or mental issues? At one point they even tried to admit her to a mental hospital.”&nbsp;[The mother of a different child, who turned blue and cold after a MMRV shot, reported that] Hospital doctors dismissed any thought of a connection.</blockquote>Many doctors also discourage patients from making the connection. As such, there is ample evidence that many deaths are attributable to the COVID-19 injection, whether or not it's listed as such on the death certificates.&nbsp;Anything but the vaccineAnalyses of excess deaths ignoring the mRNA injections as a possible cause have been predictably fruitless, as the known life-shortening factors they examine are not new or have been increasing gradually, if at all. Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Segal made that point on the air:<blockquote>Obesity . . . That rate hasn't gone up.</blockquote><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Why, years after Covid, are Americans dying at much higher rates than before the pandemic?

Instead, the death toll remains “alarming,” “disturbing,” and deserving of “urgent attention,” according to insurance industry articles.</blockquote>Sudden Young Adult Death SyndromeMore striking is that the excess deaths are particularly concentrated among the young, a fact not being publicized by the CDC:<blockquote>Actuarial reports — used by insurers to inform decisions — show deaths occurring disproportionately among&nbsp;young working-age people. Nonetheless, America’s chief health manager, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, opted in September to archive its excess deaths&nbsp;webpage&nbsp;with a note stating, “these datasets will no longer be updated.” . . .</blockquote><blockquote>Unlike in the pandemic’s early phase, these deaths are not primarily among the old. For people 65 and over, deaths in the second quarter of 2023 were 6 percent&nbsp;below&nbsp;the pre-pandemic norm, according to a new report from the&nbsp;Society of Actuaries. Mortality was 26 percent higher among insured 35-to-44-year-olds, and 19 percent higher for 25-to-34-year-olds, continuing a death spike that peaked in the third quarter of 2021 at a staggering 101 percent and 79 percent above normal, respectively.&nbsp;Actuaries and industry analysts&nbsp;predict&nbsp;excess deaths will continue among people with life insurance through 2030 and are “anticipated to be highest at younger ages.” This prediction defies normal expectations of mortality for a robust population of people with life insurance. [Emphases added].</blockquote>Public health officials were taken to task by The Hill for not investigating the sudden increase in death rates among the normally healthy young adult cohort (something the U.K. is now doing).<blockquote>Therein lies the most pressing question for insurers, epidemiologists and health agency officials. Why is the traditionally healthiest sector of our society — young, employed, insured workers — dying at such rates? Public health officials aggressively oversaw the pandemic response, for better or worse. Why aren’t they looking into this?&nbsp;</blockquote>The coverage also included criticism of government health officials for failing to investigate its own failures, unlike the UK which is in the midst of an inquiry:<blockquote>In the United Kingdom, where post-pandemic&nbsp;excess deaths&nbsp;in similar demographics also persist, a government-funded independent&nbsp;inquiry&nbsp;is underway. “With each passing week of the COVID inquiry,” the BBC&nbsp;reported&nbsp;recently, “it is clear there were deep flaws in the way decisions were made and information provided during the pandemic.”&nbsp;</blockquote>Can't blame the virusThe Hill made clear that COVID itself cannot be blamed for the excess deaths:&nbsp;<blockquote>“COVID-19 claims do not fully explain the increase in incurred claim incidence,” the Society&nbsp;said. COVID-19 deaths&nbsp;dropped&nbsp;84 percent from the first three quarters of 2021 to the same period in 2023.</blockquote>The article eventually came to the possibility of the vaccine itself being a factor:<blockquote>Vaccines were given to more than&nbsp;270 million people, among them babies, pregnant women and workers under employer mandates. The therapeutic’s “warp speed,”&nbsp;emergency use&nbsp;authorization must be part of any post-pandemic analysis, in light of more than 1 million&nbsp;reports&nbsp;of possible harm to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System and a new Yale University&nbsp;study&nbsp;validating a chronic post-vaccination syndrome.&nbsp;</blockquote>The mainstream outfit even took issue with the government's censorship of vaccine dissent.<blockquote>Finally, government officials who sanctioned unprecedented censorship of dissent — enforcing pandemic measures through media pressure — must be called to account.&nbsp;&nbsp;</blockquote>See our previous COVID coverage:<blockquote><ol><li><a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/doctors-paid-per-vaccine-jab">Frontline Facts: Are doctors paid per vaccine jab?</a></li><li><a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/experts-baffled-gaslighting-named-word-of-the-year">Experts baffled: ‘Gaslighting' named ‘word of the year’</a></li><li><a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/new-study-shows-covid-boosters-increase-covid-risk">New study shows COVID boosters increase COVID risk</a></li><li><a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/73-million-american-adults-personally-know-someone-dead-from-jab">73 million American adults 'personally' know someone dead from jab</a></li><li><a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/lockdown-violence-blamed-on-misogyny">Lockdown violence blamed on 'misogyny'</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/fact-check-does-leaked-who-document-reveal-scripted-answers-to-vaccine-deaths">Fact Check: Does leaked WHO document reveal hidden, scripted answers to vaccine deaths?</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/fact-check-did-australian-man-hunt-down-doctor-who-killed-relative-with-covid-vaccine">Fact Check: Did Australian man hunt down doctor who killed relative with COVID vaccine?</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/fact-check-are-prosecutors-preparing-homicide-charges-against-fauci-others">Fact Check: Are prosecutors preparing homicide charges against Fauci, others?</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/new-study-suggests-no-correlation-between-covid-and-long-covid">New study suggests no correlation between COVID and 'long COVID'</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/politicians-downplay-covid-coercion">Politicians downplay COVID coercion</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/new-concerns-about-covid-injections-high-levels-of-dna-contamination">New concerns about COVID injections: high levels of DNA contamination found</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/don-t-blame-the-vaccine">'Don't blame the vaccine;' whistleblower reveals hospital directive</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/france-sues-top-virologist-for-publishing-alternative-covid-treatment-study">France sues top virologist for publishing alternative COVID treatment study</a></li><li><a href="https://www.frontline.news/post/i-never-got-the-credit-i-deserved-on-covid-trump-stands-by-vaccine-in-interview-with-vaccine-victim-megyn-kelly">''I never got the credit I deserved on COVID' — Trump stands by vaccine in interview with vaccine victim Megyn Kelly</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/tragedy-8-year-old-featured-in-covid-propaganda-video-dies-after-cardiac-arrest">Tragedy: 8-year-old featured in COVID propaganda video dies after cardiac arrest</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/despite-government-claims-myocarditis-found-not-temporary-after-covid-m-rna-injection">Despite government claims, myocarditis found not temporary after COVID mRNA injection</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/neurological-complications-turbo-cancers-after-covid-shot">Neurological complications, turbo cancers after COVID shot</a></li><li><a href="https://frontline.news/post/government-withholds-vaccination-status-for-9-year-old-israeli-girl-dead-from-cardiac-arrest-during-rocket-siren">Government withholds vaccination status for 9-year-old Israeli girl dead from cardiac arrest during rocket siren</a></li></ol></blockquote>

210,000 more Americans dying annually than before COVID

MSM now asking: 'Why are so many Americans dying early?'

<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.

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.
