Asthenopia is a very broad and poorly defined concept pertaining to limited vision. It does not refer to a decline in visual function but instead encompasses all of the disorders and problems that arise in relation to looking at objects up close. This includes blurred vision, sporadic double vision, premature tiredness, and the inability to maintain a consistently clear image at a distance, leading to headaches and other eye related pain. The term eye strain is often used and generally means that the eyes are tired from intense use. This is not a symptom of disease. Rather, eye fatigue can … Continue reading

By Robert J. Krakow of Law Office of Robert J. Krakow, P.C. To the Daily Kos Blog: In response to the article you published: Robert F Kennedy, Jr and vaccines – why real journalists don’t interview him”  Dorit Reiss misses the point on vaccine manufacturer immunity. While Dorit Reiss may be technically correct in pointing out that vaccine manufacturers don’t have “blanket immunity” from liability to vaccine-injured individuals, her criticism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s statements to Fox’s Tucker Carlson on these issues misses the point. Vaccine manufacturers do enjoy unprecedented legal protection against design defect claims brought by vaccine injury … Continue reading

Merck & Co. is the world’s largest vaccine manufacturing corporation, and is one of the largest pharma companies in the world. They created such things as the MMR vaccine, and the HPV vaccine Gardasil. As a corporation that has affected the lives of almost everyone around us in the Western world, with most people receiving their vaccinations that are known to do damage, we should know their history. In this article, we will examine Merck’s connection to biological warfare, and the implications of that connection. Merck & Co. is not to be confused with the German “Merck KGaA,” but they … Continue reading

The most effective way to change the world if you have kids is to treat them right. Everything could change in one generation if there were a radical shift in parenting. Unfortunately, some indicators suggest things are getting worse. For instance, there has been an increase in kids hospitalized for attempted suicide or suicidal indicators. Now we can just hope that parents are becoming more alert to the warning signs and are therefore properly identifying them early in order to prevent suicide. But the most concerning thing is that these incidents tend to be concentrated at certain times of the … Continue reading

Police in Arlington, TX are praising the swift action of a concealed carry permit holder who stepped up to eliminate a threat in a local restaurant Wednesday night. Authorities say the gunman walked into Zona Caliente, in the 6500 block of South Cooper Street, about 6:15 p.m. and fatally shot 37-year-old Cesar Perez of Duncanville, the bar’s manager, Arlington police spokesman Christopher Cook said. Authorities later found two loaded guns and two knives on Jones, Cook said. “We do believe he had the capacity to do much greater harm,” Cook said. Witnesses told police the gunman entered the establishment and immediately began yelling … Continue reading

From Seven Arts, 1917 To those of us who still retain an irreconcilable animus against war, it has been a bitter experience to see the unanimity with which the American intellectuals have thrown their support to the use of war-technique in the crisis in which America found herself. Socialists, college professors, publicists, new-republicans, practitioners of literature, have vied with each other in confirming with their intellectual faith the collapse of neutrality and the riveting of the war-mind on a hundred million more of the world’s people. And the intellectuals are not content with confirming our belligerent gesture. They are now … Continue reading

The best way to celebrate Star Wars Day is to learn something new about a galaxy far, far away. So here are 50 fascinating facts about Hollywood’s most iconic space epic. 1. LUKE SKYWALKER IS THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES. Though equally inspired by fairy tales, westerns, and 1930s sci-fi serials, George Lucas based the framework of the story for the original Star Wars (1977) around the theories of Joseph Campbell’s book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. The book tracked common mythological motifs and argued that myths from around the world that have been passed down through generations—like … Continue reading

This is not your typical biography. There have been countless books written on Jefferson, but Gutzman tills a lot of new ground in this one. Instead of following the typical birth to death approach you find in most biographies, Gutzman focuses on Jefferson’s thought and how it influenced the shaping of America. Gutzman breaks the book down into five key areas of Jefferson’s political philosophy: federalism, slavery and race relations, Native American policy, freedom of conscience/religion and education. Through this approach, Gutzman covers the high points of Jefferson’s public life, from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to his … Continue reading

After decades of delaying, the United Nations finally released archives from the Second World War-era war crimes commission investigating the Nazi Holocaust. The source of those archives on Nazi war crimes were Western governments, including those in exile at the time of the war, such as the Belgian, Polish and Czechoslovakian. The time period covered is 1943-1949. Washington and London had long sought to halt the release. Why? Notably, the landmark publication of the files last month was given scant Western media coverage. Surprisingly, perhaps, because the story that can be gleaned from the documents tells of a hidden history … Continue reading

Morpheus: “You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” –The Matrix Whether you are aware of it or not, many in the West are born, grow, and die a slave to the Matrix. The 1999 cult movie of the same name starring Keanu Reeves questions what is real and what is simulated reality. While purely a fictitious work by the Wachowskis brothers, the movie touches on themes which challenge the current model of … Continue reading

From testosterone boosters to horny goat weed, supplements that promise to build muscle are a big industry. They’re all marketed to people the same way: buy this product, get jacked, lose fat, look sexier, and succeed in life. But how many of those supplements actually help you build muscle? Just because some of them helped a diabetic lab mouse put on muscle over a two-week period doesn’t mean you’ll experience the same effect. Animal research is a good way to set the stage for future human studies, but it’s no substitute. What you eat, how you exercise, the amount of … Continue reading

Just days after sporting First Amendment pins at the White House Correspondents Dinner – to celebrate freedom of the press – the mainstream U.S. media is back to celebrating a very different idea: how to use algorithms to purge the Internet of what is deemed “fake news,” i.e. what the mainstream judges to be “misinformation.” The New York Times, one of the top promoters of this new Orwellian model for censorship, devoted two-thirds of a page in its Tuesday editions to a laudatory piece about high-tech entrepreneurs refining artificial intelligence that can hunt down and eradicate supposedly “fake news.” To justify … Continue reading

To most Americans of the classes which consider themselves significant the war [World War I] brought a sense of the sanctity of the State which, if they had had time to think about it, would have seemed a sudden and surprising alteration in their habits of thought. In times of peace, we usually ignore the State in favour of partisan political controversies, or personal struggles for office, or the pursuit of party policies. It is the Government rather than the State with which the politically minded are concerned. The State is reduced to a shadowy emblem which comes to consciousness … Continue reading
