(B.N. Frank) Research has already determined that using Virtual Reality (VR) technology can cause behavioral changes, balance problems (see 1, 2), cognitive problems, eye problems (soreness, vision changes), headaches and other discomforts, skin issues, as well as other short-term and/or long-term health issues. Additionally, children absorb 2-5 times more harmful radiation than adults while using VR systems. Nevertheless, VR, AR (Augmented Reality), and Mixed Reality (MR) systems are increasingly being promoted and funded for a variety of purposes including educational curriculums (see 1, 2). Sigh.

(B.N. Frank) American opposition to genetically engineered (GE) mosquitoes continues to increase (see 1, 2). Experts also continue to question the effectiveness and safety of these mosquitoes. Nevertheless, in March 2022 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the release of billions more in California and Florida. Earlier this week, a Florida state agency also approved several billion more for release into the Florida Keys.

They Can Print Money, But They Can’t Print Food
(Michael Snyder) Whenever there is some sort of a major crisis, our politicians normally attempt to solve it by spending money. But in this case, that isn’t going to work. Our leaders can try to throw billions or even trillions of dollars at the global food crisis, and they may even convince themselves that they are making a difference. However, the truth is that they simply cannot create food out of thin air. As I discussed last week, we are facing a worldwide nightmare of epic proportions. Fertilizer prices have spiked to absurd levels, extremely bizarre weather patterns are playing havoc with crop production all over the planet, and the war in Ukraine has caused a growing supply crunch that will not be resolved any time soon. There simply is no “magic wand” that our politicians can wave that will make this problem go away.
