New study links COVID vaccines to 25% increase in cardiac arrest for both males & females

 Eventually the truth will emerge. But by then it will be too late, the world will have moved to something else...

  This is the real power of the Internet. You can monitor and manage public perception of events and proactively push in a different direction.

Study based on data from emergency services. COVID infection itself not linked to significant increase in cardiovascular complications.

A new study by Israeli researchers and published in Nature has revealed an increase of over 25 percent in cardiovascular-related emergency calls in the young-adult population, following the rollout of COVID vaccines, among both males and females. No similar increase was found due to COVID infection alone.

Israel health authorities and the U.S. Centers of Disease Control (CDC) have acknowledged a link between COVID vaccines and specific cardiovascular complications. The risk of myocarditis after receiving a second vaccine dose is now estimated to be between 1 in 3000 to 1 in 6000 in men aged 16 to 24.

Recent articles in scientific journals, however, have sought to suggest that cardiovascular complications following COVID infection are more common than those following vaccination. This assertion is contradicted by the findings from a recent study conducted by Israeli researchers, using data from Israel National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) related to “cardiac arrest and acute coronary syndrome EMS calls in the 16–39-year-old population” between 2019 and 2021. This enabled them to compare baseline (pre-COVID epidemic) to COVID epidemic without vaccines, to COVID epidemic following widespread vaccine takeup.

An increase of over 25% was detected in both call types during January–May 2021, compared with the years 2019–2020. That is to say, “increased rates of vaccination … are associated with increased number of CA [cardiac arrest] and ACS [acute coronary syndrome].” By contrast, the trial “did not detect a statistically significant association between the COVID-19 infection rates and the CA and ACS weekly call counts.”

While the dangers of myocarditis for young males have gained widespread attention, this study found a larger increase in CA and ACS events among females that was linked to COVID vaccination.

Myocarditis is known to be a “major cause of sudden, unexpected deaths in adults less than 40 years of age and is assessed to be responsible for 12–20% of these deaths,” the study’s authors note. They add that their findings have been mirrored by researchers in Germany and Scotland.

They caution that given these findings, “It is essential to raise awareness among patients and clinicians with respect to related symptoms (e.g., chest discomfort and shortness of breath) following vaccination or COVID-19 infection to ensure that potential harm is minimized.”

Escobar: Bilderberg Does China, Realizes "The Chessboard Sucks"

  Although pepe Escobar is quite biased, his analysis is relevant: We are entering extremely turbulent and dangerous waters. China is an economic giant but still extremely fragile. Russia is a nuclear power but far more crucially a natural resources power of the world thanks to its landmass. The US is declining but remains with the dollar, the guardian of the current Western dominated equilibrium. This means trouble and a high risk to fall into a Thucydites Trap.

Thucydides Trap - Wikipedia

Authored by Pepe Escobar,

When Davos and Bilderberg messenger boys look at The Grand Chessboard, they realize that their era of perpetual free lunch is over.

Discreetly, as under the radar as a looming virus, the 68th Bilderberg meeting  is currently underway in Washington, D.C. Nothing to see here. No conspiracy theories about a “secret cabal”, please. This is just a docile, “diverse group of political leaders and experts” having a chat, a laugh, and a bubbly.

Still, one cannot but notice that the choice of venue speaks more volumes than the entire – burned to the ground – Library of Alexandria. In the year heralding the explosion of a much-awaited NATO vs. Russia proxy war, discussing its myriad ramifications does suit the capital of the Empire of Lies, much more than Davos a few weeks ago, where one Henry Kissinger sent them into a frenzy by advancing the necessity of a toxic compromise named “diplomacy”.

The list of Bilderberg 2022 participants is a joy to peruse. Here are just some of the stalwarts:

• James Baker, Consigliere extraordinaire, now a mere Director of the Office of Net Assessment at the Pentagon.

• José Manuel Barroso, former head of the European Commission, later the recipient of a golden parachute in the form of Chairman of Goldman Sachs International.

• Albert Bourla, the Pfizer Big Guy.

• William Burns, CIA director.

• Kurt Campbell, the guy who invented the Obama/Hillary “pivot to Asia”, now White House Coordinator for Indo-Pacific.

• Mark Carney, former Bank of England, one of the designers of the Great Reset, now Vice Chair of Brookfield Asset Management.

• Henry Kissinger, The Establishment’s Voice (or a war criminal: take your pick).

• Charles Michel, President of the European Council.

• Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, which will duly relay all major Bilderberg directives in the magazine’s upcoming cover stories.

• David Petraeus, certified loser of endless surges and Chairman of KKR Global Institute.

• Mark Rutte, hawkish Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

• Jens Stoltenberg, NATO top parrot, sorry, secretary-general.

• Jake Sullivan, Director of the National Security Council.

The ideological and geopolitical affiliations of these members of the “diverse group” need no further elaboration. It gets positively sexier when we see what they will be discussing.

Among other issues we find “NATO challenges”; “Indo-Pacific realignment”; “continuity of government and economy” (Conspirationists: continuity in case of nuclear war?); “disruption of global financial system” (already on); “post-pandemic health” (Conspirationists: how to engineer the next pandemic?); “trade and deglobalization”; and of course, the choice wagyu beef steaks: Russia and China.

As Bilderberg follows Chatham House Rules, mere mortals won’t have a clue of what they actually “proposed” or approved, and none of the participants will be allowed to talk about it with anyone else. One of my top New York sources, with direct access to most of the Masters of the Universe, loves to quip that Davos and Bilderberg are just for the messenger boys: the guys who really run the show don’t even bother to show up, ensconced in their uber-private meetings in uber-private clubs, where the real decisions are made.

Still, anyone following in some detail the rotten state of the “rules-based international order” will have a pretty good idea about the 2022 Bilderberg chatter.

What the Chinese say

Secretary of State Little Blinken – Sullivan’s sidekick in the ongoing Crash Test Dummy administration’s Dumb and Dumber remake – has recently claimed that China “supports” Russia on Ukraine instead of remaining neutral.

What really matters here is that Little Blinken is implying that Beijing wants to destabilize Asia-Pacific – which is a notorious absurdity. Yet that’s the master narrative that must pave the way for the US to muscle up its “Indo-Pacific” concoction. And that’s the briefing Sullivan and Kurt Campbell will be delivering to the “diverse group”.

Davos – with its new self-billed mantra, “The Great Narrative” – completely excluded Russia. Bilderberg is mostly about containment of China – which after all is the number one existential threat to the Empire of Lies and its satrapies.

Rather than wait for Bilderberg morsels dispensed by The Economist, it’s much more productive to check out what a cross-section of fact-based Chinese intelligentsia thinks about the new “collective West” racket.

Let’s start with Justin Lin Yifu, former Chief Economist of the World Bank and now Dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University, and Sheng Songcheng, former head of the Financial Survey and Statistic Dept. a the Bank of China.

They advance that if China achieves “dynamic zero infection” on Covid-19 by the end of May (that actually happened: see the end of the Shanghai lockdown), China’s economy may grow by 5.5% in 2022.

They dismiss the imperial attempt to establish an “Asian version of NATO”: “As long as China continues to grow at a higher rate and to open up, European and ASEAN countries would not participate in the US’s decoupling trap so as to ensure their economic growth and job creation.”

Three academics from the Shanghai Institute of International Studies and Fudan University touch on the same point: the American-announced “Indo-Pacific Economic Framework”, supposed to be the economic pillar of the Indo-Pacific strategy, is nothing but a cumbersome attempt to “weaken the internal cohesion and regional autonomy of ASEAN.”

Liu Zongyi stresses that China’s position at the heart of the vastly inter-connected Asian supply chains “has been consolidated”, especially now with the onset of the largest trade deal on the planet, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

Chen Wengling, Chief Economist of a think tank under the key National Development and Reform Commission, notes  the “comprehensive ideological and technological war against China” launched by the Americans.

But he’s keen to stress how they are “not ready for a hot war as the US and Chinese economies are so closely linked.” The crucial vector is that “the US has not yet made substantial progress in strengthening its supply chain focusing on four key fields including semiconductors.”

Chen worries about “China’s energy security”; “China’s silence” on US sanctions on Russia, which “may result in US retaliation”; and crucially, how “China’s plan of building the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with Ukraine and EU countries will be affected.” What will happen in practice is BRI will be privileging economic corridors across Iran and West Asia, as well as the Maritime Silk Road, instead of the Trans-Siberian corridor across Russia.

It’s up to Yu Yongding, from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and a former member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank, to go for the jugular, noting how” the global financial system and the US dollar have been weaponized into geopolitical tools. The nefarious behavior of the US in freezing foreign exchange reserves has not only seriously damaged the international credibility of the US but has also shaken the credit foundation of the dominant international financial system in the West.”

He expresses the consensus among Chinese intel, that “if there is a geopolitical conflict between the US and China, then China’s overseas assets will be seriously threatened, especially its huge reserves. Therefore, the composition of China’s external financial assets and liabilities urgently needs to be adjusted and the portion of US dollar denominated assets in its reserves portfolio should be reduced.”

This chessboard sucks

A serious debate is raging across virtually all sectors of Chinese society on the American weaponization of the world financial casino. The conclusions are inevitable: get rid of US Treasuries, fast, by any means necessary; more imports of commodities and strategic materials (thus the importance of the Russia-China strategic partnership); and firmly secure overseas assets, especially those foreign currency reserves.

Meanwhile Bilderberg’s “diverse group”, on the other side of the pond, is discussing, among other things, what will really happen in case they force the IMF racket to blow up (a key plan to implement The Great Reset, or “Great Narrative”).

They are starting to literally freak out with the slowly but surely emergence of an alternative, resource-based monetary/financial system: exactly what the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) is currently discussing and designing, with Chinese input.

Imagine a counter-Bilderberg system where a basket of Global South actors, resource-rich but economically poor, are able to issue their own currencies backed by commodities, and finally get rid of their status of IMF hostages. They are all paying close attention to the Russia gas-for-rubles experiment.

And in China’s particular case, what will always matter is loads of productive capital underpinning a massive, extremely deep industrial and civil infrastructure.

No wonder Davos and Bilderberg messenger boys, when they look at The Grand Chessboard, are filled with dread: their era of perpetual free lunch is over. What would delight cynics, skeptics, neoplatonists and Taoists galore is that it was Davos-Bilderberg Men (and Women) who actually boxed themselves into zugzwang.

All dressed up – with nowhere to go. Even JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon – who didn’t even bother to go to Bilderberg – is scared, saying an economic “hurricane” is coming. And overturning the chessboard is no remedy: at best that may invite a ceremonious tuxedo visit by Mr. Sarmat and Mr. Zircon carrying some hypersonic bubbly.

 

Earth’s Most Dangerous Website - The story of Wikileaks (Video)

  The story of Wikileaks. Almost an old story now in our time of Covid and Ukraine but so, so relevant when what's left of our freedom hangs in the balance.

 

Clustering with knowledge instead of data (Marketing)

 In this post I would like to show how over time knowledge can supplement and replace data in data marketing.

This understanding, to my opinion is revolutionary because it goes against the current trend of accumulation of “data” which is prevalent in most companies. In fact, the more knowledge you have, the less data you need as I will demonstrate below.

Our first segmentation product in Japan was called Chomonicx and was launched in 2004. It was based on an earlier US model, Prizm from Claritas to be specific and segmented, as can be seen below, the Japanese population into 32 clusters at the Chome level. (A Chome being equivalent to a large block in the US. There are about 210,000 Chome in Japan.)

 

This product was quite successful as there was a need at the time for such segmentation. It has since been updated every 5 years and still exist today as Chomonicx 4.0

Our next product should have been at the Banchi level (A Chome being built around a few Banchi) but whereas a lot of data was available at the Chome level in Japan including of course the National Census, there was no data at the Banchi level and consequently nobody was using Banchi for marketing.

In-between Internet marketing exploded with the help of Google and Facebook and became the dominant channel for the new Multimedia marketing strategy for most large companies.  

Internet Marketing is of course at the individual level and consequently presents two challenges:   

The first one is privacy and the need to de-identify or anonymize data.

The second is getting access to the data. The breakthrough came in 2016 when we got access to the Zenrin building data from which we could build population proxy data at the household level. The result was point data as seen on the map below.

 

This revolution more than evolution was based on more data quantitatively, everything about every building but less data overall for a result 100 times more specific since the data although still an index could now be combined one to one with client data. The colors show the Chome cluster system (Chomonicx) and the points show the new data. There is simply no comparison as far as accuracy is concerned.

But amazingly, while doing this work,  we realized that almost all the information at the point level could be deduced from the address alone! This is where knowledge completely replaces data as you can actually build complex knowledge-based system with far less data provided you know how to do it.

We will describe the methodology in a future post but because of the structure of the address system in Japan, and more generally in many Asian countries, based on blocks, not on streets, seen as a gap between the blocks, it is actually easy to build a hierarchy clustering system constructed on the address which contains all the data needed and implies a natural segmentation easy to implement.

 

Monkeypox simulation excercise held in March 2021

  Is it just one side of me as a statistician or there is just more than a strange coincidence between these accurate and prophetic exercises and what happens soon after? Remember a similar exercise about Covid in the fall of 2019? The military "exercises" which completely immobilized jet fighters during 9/11?  

 Yes, sure people at Davos have more information that what we read on the Internet, but how much more? This reminds me of archeology professor  Shinichi Fujimura who consistently was "finding" extraordinary objects which later were proven to have been planted voluntarily...

 Monkeypox simulation exercise held in March 2021

An exercise simulating a global monkeypox outbreak was organized, in March 2021, by the Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Munich Security Conference. As the annual meeting in Munich could not be held due to the Coronavirus pandemic, video discussions took place in February.

Monkeypox only appeared in Europe and North America in May 2022.

The Nuclear Threat Initiative had organized other comparable exercises in 2020 and 2019. They were coordinated in conjunction with the World Health Organization and the World Bank. No information has filtered regarding the 2022 session (photo).

These exercises are separate from those organized in the context of the Davos Forum by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

40,000 Factories At Risk Of Closing In Pakistan's Commercial Capital Amid Fuel Crisis

 This blog is not about "news" and I usually avoid the stir of the day as there are many other places where you can find it... unless it is significant.

 And this is the case with this news from Pakistan as it preludes what we will see almost everywhere in developing countries this Summer. Food and energy are our most fundamental needs and as soon as they are lacking you can expect trouble to follow suit, within weeks in fact. The bankruptcy of Sri Lanka last month was a footnote. The country is small and some limited help from India, Russia and China will keep the ball rolling for now. But this won't work for countries like Pakistan and later Egypt. They need cheap food and energy... and fast!

40,000 Factories At Risk Of Closing In Pakistan's Commercial Capital Amid Fuel Crisis - Zero Hedge

Pakistan faces potential economic collapse as inflation jumps and widespread civil unrest could be nearing. The latest sign the South Asian country is spiraling into the abyss is rising electricity costs that threaten to close tens of thousands of businesses.

Bloomberg reports that as many as 40,000 factories in Karachi, the country's commercial capital, are being slapped with high power costs that make operating near impossible. 

Rising power costs are so severe that nine business groups in Karachi told the government that an immediate plan needs to be formulated to lower power costs or face economic disaster. 

Any shuttering of factories and mass layoffs could trigger social unrest in the commercial capital, home to more than 16 million people.

Discontent among businesses and households is already soaring with an official inflation rate of over 13.37% (double the official CPI to get a more accurate picture of true price inflation), the 2nd fastest-rising rate in Asia. 

On top of high power costs, Karachi's power utility -- K-Electric Ltd. -- warned customers of widespread power cuts for the first time in over a decade if power generation continues to struggle because of high fuel costs and supply shortages. 

"These current conditions are severely hindering KE's ability to procure fuel, causing a permanent curtailment of power generation" that translates to as much as 10 hours of planned blackouts for some parts of the city, said Sadia Dada, a spokesperson for K-Electric. 

Pakistan is also a nuclear power -- political elites may stoke a conflict with neighboring India to distract public anger from domestic financial pain. 

China Elected To World Health Organisation Executive Board With No Objections

 How could it be otherwise?

 And these are the people who will manage the next pandemic...

Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,

China has been elected to the World Health Organisation’s Executive Board with zero objections from any democratic countries, despite its voluminous attempts to cover up the Coronavirus outbreak and its subsequent brutal lockdowns.

Hillel Neuer of the watchdog group UN Watch noted “this is the regime that crushed” warnings from whistleblowers in late 2019 and early 2020.

He also noted that “not a single democracy spoke out to object.”

Spectator columnist Ross Clark commented that the WHO is “stuffed with small countries, many with lousy human rights records, which will not dare to challenge China or which will not have the political clout to do so.”

Lets remember that the head of the World Health Organization’s origin investigation into COVID-19 has admitted that China basically ordered his team on what to write in their report and allowed them to mention the lab leak theory, but only on the condition that they didn’t recommend following it up.

In addition, China has refused to cooperate with the renewed WHO probe, declaring that any attempt to look into the lab leak theory goes “against science” and claiming, contrary to U.S. intelligence and the WHO’s own conclusions, that workers in the lab were hospitalised with COVID in the autumn of 2020.

China’s government run Academy of Sciences also shortlisted the Wuhan bio-lab for its ‘Outstanding Science Achievement’ prize for work with coronaviruses.

Talk about rubbing it in.

Jamie Metzl, a leading advisor for the World Health Organisation itself has stated that China engaged in a “massive cover up” of the coronavirus pandemic.

Metzl also pointed out that the World Health Organisation “doesn’t have the mandate to have its own surveillance capabilities,” and was therefore easily batted away by China in the early days of the outbreak when it requested to send responders.

The WHO, which facilitated China’s draconian response to COVID by insisting the western world impose similar lockdowns, is also now urging that gay pride events go ahead despite the clear risk of them being monkeypox super-spreader events, given that the virus is transmitted through close physical contact.

Awarding China a seat on the WHO Executive Board is like if North Korea was put in charge of the UN Conference on Disarmament…oh wait, they really did that too.

"The Deep State Is In A 'Do-Or-Die' Moment" - Alex Newman Warns Globalists 'Need To Terrify Everyone'

 There is a deep misunderstanding about what the Deep State really is. Technology has changed things drastically. It is now an amorphous blob of common interest. Those people beyond money who lust for power. When you're young, often, you'll get invited and "introduced". If you can keep your opinions for yourself and are pliable, or better think mostly like everybody else in the room, you will slowly be pushed higher...

 You can have dissenting opinions which mostly are resolved in, smokeless nowadays, back rooms, more often with a smile and  pat on the back than hints and menaces. But you can't have "doubts" or question the system. Too many interests are intertwined in its fabric...

 When a society crumbles, it is not the highways and train lines that stop working. It is the consensus and the ideas upon which that society is built which start losing their appeal. We built temples twice as high and still the gods won't listen. We double down, always, on what didn't work in the first place and somehow it still doesn't work. 

 Amazingly, if you look at history, what is going on right now, as described below is not the exception but the rule. Our ancestors, everywhere, followed the same route and left superb ruins behind for us to contemplate the future!

Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com,

Author of the popular book “Deep State” and award-winning journalist Alex Newman says Deep State globalists are afraid the world is waking up to the tyranny they are trying to impose on every country on earth including America.

Things are not going as smoothly into their so-called reset as they had envisioned. 

Newman explains, “The Deep State is in a ‘do or die’ moment right now..."

"They, the elites or predator class, recognize that they are now locked into this.  If they try to retreat, there is no retreat.  People are waking up at such a rapid rate that they are in a moment where they are going to have to go for broke and try to impose the whole agenda and damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead or they are going to be in big trouble.  They are going to be prosecuted.  Right this moment, there are conversations in state attorney generals’ offices all across the country, and this is a problem.  People are demanding prosecution..

Right now, the elites, or predator class, realize if they don’t move forward very quickly, they are going to lose everything.  They could possibly end up facing true accountability.  I think we are in a very dangerous situation now.  When people get into a position like that, they don’t have a whole lot of options.  Either they cancel the election or they cheat like crazy or they just collapse everything.  The way things are going right now with inflation out of control, the food crisis and famine just around the corner, of course, that they engineered, and the monkey pox and bird flu, they have all there crises lined up...

You realize they have a lot of options still to play.  I suspect there will be some very interesting developments between now and the mid-term elections.  If we had honest elections, they would be totally creamed.  They would be toast, and they know that.”

Newman thinks the next move by the Deep State may be a combination of crises that could include the collapse of the buying power of the U.S. dollar and a food crisis that is already a lock in the not-so-distant future.  Newman warns,

“What’s going on in Russia and Ukraine, we cannot count out.  There is a very real prospect of that expanding...

Desperate people do desperate things.  This is just like with an animal that has been backed into a corner.  When you get an animal in that situation, they are really left with few options other than attack and do something dangerous, and I think that is where we are at.  They recognize that they need crises to advance their agenda.  They need to terrify the population...

...and it has to be done in a way that their finger prints are not on this, and instead of people turning on each other, they will start looking for them.”

Newman says,

“The country can be turned around and it needs to be turned around, but it’s going to take work . . . and maybe intervention by the Good Lord.” 

Newman closes by saying, “There is no silver bullet.”

 How dangerous is the Chinese government?

Maybe far more than you thought. 

The privacy of every Chinese citizen is already history. But is yours in their line of sight? Have a look and make up your mind. The clock is ticking: Tic toc, or should we say Tik Tok?

 Disclaimer: I have spent my life literally, gathering information to use it for advertising purpose. And sure, some people believe that even that is already too much. I do not think so. Analyzing data to "understand", target and influence people is to my opinion fair game. You still have the option to say "no" and move to something else. But here, we have something very, I would disturbingly different. There is no escape clause. ALL your data is collected ALL the time. Combined with your health, financial and social data. With outside cameras, microphones with instant access ALL the time! The reaction speed of the system in China is said to be less than "one minute"! It's 1984 with literally nothing left in the dark. 100% total control.
