Briefly Noted: Deep State Tactics, Covid Heart Damage

This is the start of a busy week for us—appointments every single day. So let’s get started

. We’ll begin with the second item, Covid heart damage.

It seems every day brings us new revelations regarding various aspects of the Covid Hoax. They largely revolve around the two core issues of effectiveness/lack of effectiveness and safety/lack of safety. Other issues arise from this: failure to test, lack of transparency in reporting side effects, origin—all sorts of things. But the wave of sudden deaths and the related issue of disability claims, which were brought to public notice by Ed Dowd, have claimed a lot of attention in recent months, and of course point back to those core issues. Indeed, a recent Rasmussen poll highlights widespread public awareness of the by now undeniable dangers associated with the mRNA injections: ‘Died Suddenly’? More Than 1-in-4 Think Someone They Know Died From COVID-19 Vaccines.

Now Steve Kirsch has made a wager on the implications of what we’re learning:

Jonathan Bing just bet me $50K that I'm wrong about cardiac injury post-vaccine

On a recorded Twitter space just now, I claimed 20% (or more) of people have objectively measurable cardiac injury after getting the COVID vaccine. Jonathan was willing to bet $50K I am wrong.

There is a caveat that accompanies Kirsch’s position. Not all the studies he cites have been published—he’s upfront about that. Still, there have been some published studies and reputable doctors have also maintained that widespread cardiac injury from the injections is highly likely. Here is the evidence that Steve cites:

The evidence

Before Jonathan accepted my bet, I pointed out that:

1. In a study (not yet published) of 177 people in Puerto Rico (97% of whom were vaccinated), cardiac injury was objectively measured in 70% of the people measured (ages 8 to 84). I know the guy who did the study and we have all the records from the machine for each person. This is going to be hard for Jonathan to dispute. Really hard. But hey, if he can show me a study I’m wrong, it’s worth the $50K. So far, nobody else has.

2. In the US military, they did a thorough investigation of a large number of soldiers and found markers of cardiac injury in 68% of our soldiers. This was kept under wraps, but I am friends with the doctor who did the study.

3. The Thailand study is well known. It showed close to a 30% rate of cardiac injury in young adults. So that’s the backup plan. But the 70% rate of cardiac injury in Puerto Rico… that’s the slam dunk.

In addition I found this:

1. Changes of ECG parameters after BNT162b2 vaccine in the senior high school students in which 17.1% had at least one cardiac symptom 2-3 days after the second dose. This is only measuring ECG alone which is not very sensitive for measuring cardiac injury. So even if you believe this, it’s a good bet that more sensitive tests increase those numbers significantly.

So you cannot accuse me of being a grifter; I put my cards on the table and he just thought I was making this stuff up out of thin air.

For a discussion of what this means I refer you to Karl Denninger, who leads off with the obvious:

This Data Is VERY Bad

Meaning, the implications of the data are very bad.

Many readers may have seen numbers showing that sudden deaths among athletes are way higher than ever before, and all this is happening post-injection. That seems to be what KD is referring to, in part, in this passage:

Lots of people can take some objective cardiac damage and not do the Fauci Flop. A huge percentage of people are sedentary and the majority of the remainder are only modestly or moderately active. The percentage of 50+ year old Americans who get off their ass and put their heart rate intentionally into Zone 4 or 5 on a regular basis is almost-certainly in the single-digit percentages and it is there where you are most-likely to provoke trouble, as we know happens every year when some people who had no clue they had cardiac trouble try to shovel the driveway and thud right there. That happens every year.

But two of those groups above are very highly medically supervised. The military is one of them, at least at the time of induction and, if there's reason to have concern, right now. That's obvious; you want a fighting force that can, well, actually fight; you're supposed to die by being shot or blown up in the military, not by heart attack while attempting to get into position to shoot the "bad guys." The latter can get your entire company killed so there's a strong incentive to monitor for those sorts of problems.

The other is professional and, to a somewhat-lesser extent, college-age athletes. ...

The odds of you making it onto an NFL team with any ECG abnormality approach zero. ECGs are not particularly sensitive to minor damage but anything significant is likely to show up there,

These concerns are, at a minimum, backed by data that can’t be ignored. Otherwise you wouldn’t be seeing stories like this recent one:

CDC investigating whether Pfizer COVID vaccine increases stroke risk for people over 65

The drip is steady and, if anything, increasing in rate.

Secondly, and quite briefly. Opinion regarding the origins of Garage Gate seems to divide into two camps: 1) chaos/incompetence/ political machination is behind it, or 2) this is a coordinated Deep State hit, not merely an effort to dissuade Zhou from a 2024 run. Obviously, I fall into the second camp. To me, as I’ve been writing, it all looks too coordinated—from the “discovery” of the classified docs to the willingness of the MSM to make a big deal out of this. I trace this to Deep State alarm over the entire disastrous trajectory of the Zhou regime’s two years, and especially the existential plight that the American Empire now faces: the failure and like collapse of NATO in Ukraine, the precarious state of our military preparedness, the threat of Russian hypersonic missiles for which we have no counter, the collapse of our network of alliances in the Middle East, the faltering status of King Dollar as a world reserve currency, the muscle flexing of the Russia - China alliance, and more. There seems to be no way to address these complex policy issues without regime change in DC. This is what I argue is behind Garage Gate—the Deep State wants regime change.

I’ll just quote Christopher Roach to buttress this argument, having previously quoted Larry Johnson:

Did The Deep State Turn on Biden?

If the exposure of Biden’s apparent mishandling of classified documents arose from an intelligence community operation, it shows that the unelected deep state is beholden to neither party.

I’ll simply quote the passage in which Roach argues that there is more to Garage Gate than meets the eye. That this is not the normal trajectory for scandals involving Dems:

… the recent exposure of top secret documents in Biden’s old office, his garage, and a mysterious third location suggests something is afoot. We went from a Monday disclosure to a special counsel being appointed on Thursday. Nothing like this happens this quickly unless it is by design.

There are, of course, ways to deal with this situation that do not involve public exposure. Couldn’t Biden or his staff order some FBI agents or White House people to pick them up and take them to wherever they’re supposed to be stored?

It’s in the news because somehow his lawyers found the documents and reported them before the story could go through White House channels. …

Someone is responsible for the way this information came out, and that someone is an enemy of Biden. There are plenty of possibilities: some secret Republicans at the Justice Department, Kamala Harris and her people, a committee of Democratic Party insiders concerned about Dementia Joe being president for another four years. The whole thing has a whiff of a conspiracy, and, like the various allegations and pretexts employed to investigate Trump, it may very well originate in the intelligence community.

As Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) once said, “You take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” …

In addition, we’re getting hints that matters could take a turn for the worse for Zhou—presumably, unless he steps down. In addition to the questions that Tucker and Sen. Kennedy have raised about Zhou’s involvement in the provision of $77 million to UPenn, we’re also hearing again about the lack of visitor logs at Zhou’s Deleware home. That’s potentially a very big deal, and is undoubtedly vey irregular—especially given the amount of time he spends there. No official logs have been kept. But that doesn’t mean that something in the nature of unofficial logs don’t exist in the Intel Community.

Bottom line: Wait and see. But things simply look fishy. This looks well beyond coincidence.
