Amidst the fallout of the COVID shot, many needing blood transfusions are requesting unvaccinated blood.&nbsp;Blood banks across the world make no distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated donors' blood. The American Red Cross&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/RedCross/status/1569869268296105990">states</a> that the “vaccine does not enter the bloodstream &amp; poses no safety risks to the recipient” but many would-be blood recipients are skeptical. They would like to be able to get their blood transfusions from a donor who did not receive the COVID injection.<a href="https://safeblood.net/en/">SafeBlood</a> is an organization that proposes to satisfy this demand.&nbsp;<a href="https://dailyclout.io/safeblood-aims-for-medical-freedom/">Founded</a> about two years ago by&nbsp;George Della Pietra, a retired naturopath living in Switzerland, SafeBlood&nbsp;has a growing database of unvaccinated people who are willing to donate blood. They aim to coordinate between donors and recipients, but finding blood processors to cooperate in this endeavor has been challenging.&nbsp; So far, they have found cooperative clinics only in the U.S.; even those processors choose to cooperate quietly and do not advertise their affiliation with SafeBlood.&nbsp;<h3 style="text-align:justify;">Learning from the past</h3>Donated blood is routinely tested for many potential infectious vectors, but there is always the possibility of new, emerging pathogens. "We have to be pretty much on our toes for those sorts of threats all the time," said American Red Cross Chief Medical Director Richard Benjamin in 2011.&nbsp;In the early 1980s, it was&nbsp;<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25121199/">determined</a> that hemophiliacs were at risk of acquiring AIDS from donated blood and it was thus desirable that they receive donations only from donors who were screened to eliminate potential carriers of HIV. Since there was no test for HIV at the time, such screening entailed asking questions about the donor’s sexual activity. Eventually, a laboratory test to detect HIV in donated blood eliminated the need to ask uncomfortable questions — although the ability of MSM (men who have sex with men) to donate blood in the U.S was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ajmc.com/view/fdas-revised-blood-donation-guidance-for-gay-men-still-courts-controversy">restricted</a> until&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/how-to-donate/eligibility-requirements/lgbtq-donors.html">recently</a>. Since it was confirmed that HIV was a real risk to blood recipients, donated blood is regularly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.livescience.com/16007-blood-supply-safety.html">tested</a> for HIV and rejected if positive.Many people who didn’t take the COVID vaccine worry that they are in a position today similar to that of hemophiliacs before it was recognized that one could be infected with HIV via blood transfusion. The mRNA technology is quite new and its use in a vaccine is still being studied, even as it was rolled out as an emergency measure against COVID. There have been studies published that indicate that the vaccine can affect the blood, despite the claims of the American Red Cross.<h3 style="text-align:justify;">The concern&nbsp;</h3>One&nbsp;<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/apm.13294">study</a>, published on January 17, 2023, followed a group of patients with chronic hepatitis C (HCV patients). Their blood was regularly tested for hepatitis C mRNA, so the researchers were able to compare samples from before and after COVID vaccination. Those who weren’t vaccinated provided a convenient control group. The researchers "surprisingly found fragments of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA up to 28 days post-vaccination in blood from chronic HCV patients vaccinated with mRNA vaccines from both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna."&nbsp;&nbsp;While partial to full vaccine mRNA sequences were detected in only 9.3% of the vaccinated HCV patients, the study raises legitimate concerns about the blood in those who were vaccinated. Another&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/10/7/1538">study</a>, published in June 2022, “found that vaccine-associated synthetic mRNA persists in systemic circulation [in blood plasma] for at least 2 weeks."Other studies have&nbsp;<a href="https://ijvtpr.com/index.php/IJVTPR/article/view/37">detected</a> foreign materials or&nbsp;<a href="https://ijvtpr.com/index.php/IJVTPR/article/view/47">changes</a> in the structure of blood after vaccination. Spike protein has also been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.061025">found</a> circulating in the blood of people who developed myocarditis after vaccination.&nbsp;Even amongst researchers who support the use of mRNA vaccines, there is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1471491422001034">recognition</a> that “adverse effects (AEs) following vaccination have been noted which may relate to a proinflammatory action of the lipid nanoparticles used or the delivered mRNA (i.e., the vaccine formulation), as well as to the unique nature, expression pattern, binding profile, and proinflammatory effects of the produced antigens – spike (S) protein and/or its subunits/peptide fragments – in human tissues or organs.”<h3>Who’s decision</h3>A case in New Zealand pitted hospital staff against the parents of a four-month-old baby named Will who needed urgent heart surgery. The baby would certainly need blood as part of the surgery, and the parents wanted to do the surgery and receive a blood transfusion, however, they wanted the blood to come from an unvaccinated donor. They were told by the&nbsp;New Zealand Blood Service&nbsp;that, “it does not make a distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated donors.”&nbsp;The baby’s mother explained that they didn’t want to “take a risk with a boy who already has a heart condition”. The parents insisted on waiting to do the surgery until they could get blood from unvaccinated donors and reportedly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/new-zealand-govt-seizes-baby-after-parents-refuse-covid-jab-tainted-blood-for-childs-heart-surgery/">located</a> 20 acceptable donors. However, the medical staff didn’t think the surgery should wait and thought the demand for unvaccinated blood was unnecessary. The chief pediatric cardiac surgeon told the parents it was “simply impractical to have a directed donor.” and eventually a court ordered the operation done without the parents’ consent.&nbsp;The parents were concerned by a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/09/mother-blames-vaccinated-blood-death-one-month-old-baby-died-blood-clot-following-blood-transfusion/">case</a> of another baby, Alex, earlier the same year in the U.S. Alex also needed surgery, and his parents also wanted him to receive only unvaccinated blood. They were informed by hospital staff that it was very expensive to get a directed donation, which they later found out was not true. But there would be more paperwork, and that would take additional time.&nbsp;Baby Alex luckily did not need the blood during his surgery, but a doctor decided he needed blood a few hours after the surgery and gave him from the general supply. The next day, Alex developed a blood clot that did not respond to blood thinners and died a few weeks later.&nbsp;When she heard of the Baby Will case, Alex's mother&nbsp;Cornelia&nbsp;<a href="https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/baby-alex-the-definitive-accountin?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_campaign=post_embed&amp;utm_medium=web">asked&nbsp;</a>the hospital for copies of Alex’s hospital records, but the hospital&nbsp;<a href="https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/baby-alex-the-definitive-accountin?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_campaign=post_embed&amp;utm_medium=web">reportedly</a> claimed to have no record of his case.There is still no definitive evidence of harm from blood donated by vaccinated individuals, but there are indications that the question is not as settled as the American Red Cross suggests. In Baby W’s case, the judge&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/baby-blood-donor-battle-parents-appear-on-american-conspiracist-alex-jones-podcast/K3IEPVLT25BPHOTRX3JSVUDFJE/">determined</a> that “[t]here is no evidence that trace amounts of the vaccine in blood or blood products could cause myocarditis”.The absence of evidence, nevertheless, is not evidence of absence, especially in the presence of signals of possible harm, as the papers above and the case of baby Alex represent. The British National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng24/chapter/recommendations">writes</a> that transfusion patients&nbsp;“have the right to be involved in discussions and make informed decisions about their care”.&nbsp;Do patients, or the parents of a minor patient, truly have the right to make their own treatment decisions? Should doctors have the right to overrule the patient’s decisions? This is a complicated ethical issue, but perhaps it could be avoided if the authorities were willing to be flexible and allow the acquisition of directed donor blood when possible. This is what organizations like SafeBlood are fighting for.<hr>Warning: This article contains information about COVID-19.

Latest battle pits precaution principle against 'scientific consensus' with patients demanding right to decide

What's behind demands for unvaccinated blood?

<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. In a video that was posted to social media, passing cars can be heard honking in support.The video received over 37,000 likes. 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. They are about control’</h2>British actor and influencer Laurence Fox said this week he was just given back his electronic devices by police after being arrested earlier this year for cheering on the Blade Runners:<blockquote>These cameras are not about the climate.

‘Pissed off about the tyranny reigning over us’

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.

Electric car company files bankruptcy as EV market folds

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.
