SCIENCE & ASTRONOMY: Why do patients sometimes get severe infections (sepsis) after stone-breaking treatments (lithotripsy), even when their urine was sterile? The answer: breaking the stone releases the bacteria trapped inside.

For decades, doctors believed the most common kidney stones (calcium oxalate) were lifeless lumps formed purely by chemistry—minerals building up in the kidney. ​A groundbreaking study published this month (Jan 2026) by UCLA Health has proven this wrong. ​ Using high-tech fluorescence microscopy, researchers discovered that these stones actually contain live bacteria and fungal-like biofilms "entombed" inside them. The bacteria act as a scaffolding (nidus), allowing the minerals to crystalize and grow layer by layer. ​ This solves a long-standing medical mystery: Why do patients sometimes get severe infections (sepsis) after stone-breaking treatments (lithotripsy), even when their urine was sterile? The answer: breaking the stone releases the bacteria trapped inside. ​This could revolutionize treatment, shifting focus from just diet changes to targeting the hidden microbiome within the kidney.

RAPE OF THE MIND: “mechanization of modern life has already influenced man to become more passive.... No longer does man think in personal values, following his own conscience and ethical evaluations; he thinks more and more in the values brought to him by the mass media.”

19) #RapeOfTheMind: "Like training, taming has the purpose of making actions automatic; unlike training, it does not require the conscious participation of the learner .... Group hatred often bursts out almost automatically when triggered by slogans and catchwords." (52)

20) #RapeOfTheMind: "The propaganda campaign reaching our medical eyes & ears is often so laden with suggestions that we can be persuaded to distribute sedatives & stimulants where straight critical thinking would deter us and we would seek the deeper causes of the difficulties."

21) #RapeOfTheMind: "Psychology itself may tend to standardize the mind, and the tendency among different schools of psychology to emphasize orthodoxy increases unwittingly the chance for mental coercion." (71)

24) #RapeOfTheMind: “mechanization of modern life has already influenced man to become more passive.... No longer does man think in personal values, following his own conscience and ethical evaluations; he thinks more and more in the values brought to him by the mass media.” (96)

25) #RapeOfTheMind: “The very institutions man has created to help himself, the very tools he invented to enhance his life, the very progress he has made toward mastery of himself and his environment - all can become weapons of destruction.” (97)

26) #RapeOfTheMind: “The specialists in the art of persuasion.... may water down the spontaneity and creativity of thoughts and ideas into sterile and streamlined cliches that direct our thoughts even although we still have the illusion of being original and individual.” (97)

27) #RapeOfTheMind: “... many ‘free’ minds have given up the struggle for decency and individuality. ... Public opinion molds our critical thoughts every day. Unknowingly, we may become opinionated robots.” (99)

28) #RapeOfTheMind: “We like to escape into the irrational because we dislike the challenge of self-study and self-thinking. Our leisure time is occupied increasingly by automated activities in which we take no part: listening to piped-in words and viewing television screens.” 99

29) #RapeOfTheMind: “...fifth columnists spread slogans of defeat and political confusion.... Instead of facing the real threat of German invasion ... all of Europe shuddered at spy stories, discussed irrelevant problems, argued endlessly about scapegoats and minorities.” (101)

30) #RapeOfTheMind: “totalitarians are very ingenious in arousing latent guilt in us by repeating over and over again how criminally the Western world has acted toward innocent and peaceful people....they would like to have us cut all our ties of loyalty with the past...” (103)

31) #RapeOfTheMind “...would like to have us cut all our ties of loyalty with the past, away from relatives and parents. The more you have forsaken them and their so-called outmoded concepts, the better you will cooperate with those who want to take mental possession of you.” 103

32) #RapeOfTheMind: “Totalitaria is any country in which political ideas degenerate into senseless formulations made only for propaganda purposes. ... any country in which disagreement and differences of opinion are crimes, in which utter conformity is the price of life.” (106)

33) #RapeOfTheMind: “If the complexity of a country’s political and economic apparatus makes the individual citizen feel powerless ... he will grasp at the totalitarian opportunity for belonging, for participation, for a simple formula ....” (108)
