Lew Rockwell uses minimal loaded words in their headlines and articles, but they typically source to far right or questionable sources such as Brietbart, Zerohedge and the #1 purveyor of pseudoscience Joseph Mercola. Some of the topics you will find on the website are those related to anti-vaccination propaganda, Mind Control, False Flags, and anti-immigration articles from other questionable sources.  Further, the Lew Rockwell website has been placed on the Hatewatch list by the Southern Poverty Law Center. A factual search also reveals that Lew Rockwell has a very poor track record with fact checkers. For more information I recommend, RationalWiki who has done a fantastic job of putting all of it together. (7/19/2016) Updated (6/13/2018)

Given the generally leftward bias of Politifact this is hardly surprising.  In this case I was looking for a copy of an article by Gary North and that is what the search engines came up with.  I don't consider Lew Rockwell to be an authority on anything other than economics.

As for problems with vaccines it would seem that some problems with the MMR measles virus is showing up in the wild.  No technology is perfect and this is equally true  with vaccines.  I speak as someone who makes good living fixing broken technology.  Do this long enough and you learn not to trust gadgets as much as the general public, who are generally clueless about such matters, does.

Occasionally some crazy person says something  that any sensible person would consider crazy  and it turns out to be right. The proverbial line between genius and madness is that the genius has lots of crazy ideas and sorts out the crazy ideas that might be right and can either prove them right (as in mathematics or physics) or package them (as in literature or art) attractively as something profound and  worthy of attention. The geniuses do not publish or present unambiguous junk, as they know what builds and what detracts from their reputations. They destroy pages that have mathematical errors, wrong notes, or ideas that go nowhere. They can look at sketches for a canvas that they recognize have no promise. They also know enough to not assert as their own discovery something that someone else in their field has already offered.

To put it into my terms, a dullard is someone incapable of thinking for himself. An ordinary person has the humility to recognize that he is lacking in originality and might as well just do his work and go home (and today he would do this) watch a movie or sitcom on television. A genius is capable on occasion of doing something that before the fact is crazy but after some appropriate refinement  is able to make it seem obvious to the rest of us. A madman thinks that his craziness is brilliance.

Yes, some lunatic occasionally says something unique and interesting. More often it is about how his bowels feel. Albert Einstein had some crazy ideas going through his mind -- but he knew enough to check them out before expressing them publicly.

Today, power in America is clearly with the Hard Right, with people who believe that no human suffering can ever be in excess so long as it enriches or pampers them or enforces their will. Reality, including mass sentiment, about all else defaults with the Left when the Hard Right uses its power exclusively for selfish purposes. This is the mirror image of the situation in Venezuela, where power is in the hands of people who hold contempt for the free market -- and reality is clearly on the Right.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
