Mars landing hoax

The Mars landing hoax is a type of denialism conspiracy theory cut from a similar cloth as the Moon landing hoaxes, where the supporters deny any probe or rover has ever been sent to Mars, alternatively claiming that footage from the Mars landings is completely (or at least substantially) faked. Some supporters, such as those within the Flat Earth Society or Above Top Secret readership also deny the rest of the space program.Flat Earth Society forumAbove Top Secret forum
==Motives to deny==
Some of the supporters behind this conspiracy believe that space travel in general (or at least space travel beyond Low Earth Orbit) is impossible or at least way too difficult to successfully pull off, and this would include the Unmanned Mars Landings. Flat Earthers for example, believe that not only all of spaceflight is fabricated and that spaceflight is impossible, but that outer space itself is a hoax because that a giant skydome covers the Earth with the stars and planets attached to it via M A G I C K. Others may believe some or all Martian probes did indeed arrived to their destined locations but the footage was faked to prevent people knowing about vast alien cities. These last few people may have been inspired by the Face on Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom stories and Orson Welles' The War of the Worlds.
==Evidence==
=== Atmosphere ===
The Atlantean Conspiracy attempts to debunk claims of Mars landings by saying that the atmosphere is so thin that NASA would not have bothered using parachutes at all if this was a real mission.Atlantean Conspiracy, "MarsFaker"
=== Devon Island ===
Some 'Mars Landing Hoax' supporters have discovered that NASA and other space agencies use places, such as Devon Island and other similar deserts, to test their rovers and potential future Mars astronauts.http://fmars.marssociety.org This is because Devon Island is very geographically and visually similar to the Martian surface, making it the best Earth analogue that there is and thus a great way to test Martian technology. It further helps that it is the largest uninhabited island in the world. 
The hoax supporters however believe that these places aren't used for training purposes, but instead are the filming locations for the Mars rover footage. However, if this were true, we would expect to see any recognizable Devon Island geography or mountains in any of the Martian photographs, or witness any phenomenon in the footage that would prove it actually being filmed back on Earth in the open. This is however not the case. 
Some of the hoax supporters may counteract by claiming that the Devon Island footage is later modified using CGI to better fit the Martian landscape, but wouldn't it have made better sense to cut the middle-man and make it all with CGI?

Marshall Protocol

The Marshall Protocol is the brainchild of Ph.D. electrical engineer Trevor Marshall. It claims to be a therapy for chronic inflammatory disease.
It bears no relation to the Marshall Plan (the economic reconstruction plan enacted in Western Europe after World War 2).
== Vitamin D, is the jury still out? ==
One of the Marshall Protocol's claims is that taking Vitamin D, even if you have a Vitamin D insufficiency, can actually harm your immune system.
There is some clinical and chemical evidence which suggests Vitamin D deficiency may be the consequence, rather than the cause, of several diseases.Vitamin D: some perspective please, BMJ2012;345:e4695, Rapid Response tab The Marshall Protocol takes this ball and runs with it, claiming that bacteria and Vitamin D gang up on your body's Vitamin D nuclear receptors (VDR) to shut your immune response down. So, instead of taking Vitamin D if you have both an inflammatory condition and a vitamin D deficiency, the Marshall Protocol recommends taking long-term doses of antibiotics (like minocycline) and olmesartan (a medication for high blood pressure).
These claims are based on computer models of molecular activityhttp://mpkb.org/home/publications/marshall_days_of_molecular_medicine_2007http://mpkb.org/home/patients/assessing_literature/in_vitro_studieshttp://mpkb.org/home/patients/assessing_literature/animal_models, rather than in vitro or in vivo studies. It's one thing to use molecular modeling to open up promising avenues of research; it's quite another to use it as the basis for making actual clinical recommendations. The suggestion to take antibiotics when no positive tests for bacterial infection have been made is particularly disturbing, as overuse of antibiotics can breed antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Martin Durkin

Martin Durkin is a professional bullshitter, pseudoscience peddler, crank, climate change denier and some say, a documentary film maker. He is the managing director of WAG TV responsible for travesties such as The Great Global Warming SwindleABC Australia's Tony Jones Dissects, Debunks Martin DurkinDurango Bill’s Debunking the Deniers of Global Warming and Against Nature. The latter causing UK's Channel 4 to issue a prime-time apology for airing it.Against Nature – Channel 4 Tonight His favourite party trick is to fool real scientists and experts that he is a serious documentary maker, then dissect footage of their interviews so as to fit into his wingnut ideology.Getting your science from charlatans by the Guardian This is then backed up with further interviews with cranks and corporate shills. His documentaries give new meaning to the word "irresponsible" and are little more than platforms for science and green bashing. He also runs a blog www.martindurkin.com, that frequently engages in science and green bashing. Not surprisingly, he has earned praise from fellow science and green basher Steve Milloy.
Occasionally, WAG TV does produce good documentaries like Discovery Channel's "How Do They Do It?" and "Secret Intersex", provided Durkin is only the executive director, i.e. has no input in the making process.

Martin Gardner

Martin Gardner was an American mathematics and science writer. He specialized in "recreational mathematics", and for many years wrote the column Mathematical Games in Scientific American magazine. He also studied magic, pseudoscience, literature, philosophy, and religion. Gardner was also a prolific author, and wrote numerous books across many subjects (The Annotated Alice, a critical edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass being one of the most famous). On the subject of calculus, Gardner revised Silvanus Thompson's Calculus Made Easy, a book that approaches calculus as something that is actually quite easy to understand - if it's not over-mystified by those who would teach it.JSTOR review of Calculus Made Easy
Gardner wrote a great deal on the paranormal and was a harsh critic of the Human Potential Movement. He was also a longtime, prominent opponent of Israeli magician/"psychic" Uri Geller. He also wrote a skeptical study of the Urantia Book: Urantia, The Great Cult Mystery.
==Religious beliefs==
Gardner was unusual among prominent skeptics for being a deist. It's believed that Gardner coined the term "fideist" - meaning someone who chooses to believe in a god or gods because it is comforting, and not because there is evidence, as laid out in his essay Why I Am Not An Atheist.
==Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science==
Gardner's book Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science, (originally published in 1952, later updated and republished in its current form in 1957), is regarded as a seminal work of the skeptical movement. It describes a number of the popular forms of woo that were current in the day, including: the works of Wilhelm Reich and L. Ron Hubbard, American racism before the civil rights movement, and Christian fundamentalism, which he addressed well before its heyday in American politics several decades later.
The book may appear dated, given that it was written in the 1950s, but it describes the origins of much modern-day woo, and a reader may come away feeling that gullibility and hucksterism are universal constants, and that the snake oil peddlers of the 1950s are little different to those of modern times. The woo merchants of old spread their strange ideas via self-published books and pamphlets, while the modern crank opts instead for garish websites and payment via credit card or PayPal.The famous Time Cube website. Oh Lordy, make it stop! Plus, it can be very entertaining to read about hollow Earth theories and the rather strange ideas of Madame Blavatsky and Charles Fort.

Martyr

A martyr is one who dies in order to promote or defend a belief or, especially, a religion. Many nations celebrate a version of Martyrs' Day.
Sociologist Farhad Khosrokhavar has coined the term 'martyropathy' to indicate a cult-like affliction of those who actively seek martyrdom:Suicide Bombers: Allah's New Martyrs by Farhad Khosrokhavar, translated by David Macey (2005) Pluto Press. ISBN 0745322832.
==Christian martyrs==
Christianity has a long history of reverence for matyrs, who are seen as having made the ultimate sacrifice for their faith. The first Christian martyr is generally reckoned to be St. Stephen, who, according to the Acts of the Apostles, was stoned to death. His lead was taken up by some early Christians who formed what were effectively suicide cults; these were soon suppressed by both religious and temporal authorities.Watch out! the circumcellions are back The concept of martyrdom survives to the present day, with the Archbishop of Canterbury's 2015 Easter speech referring to martyrs in the Middle East and Kenya.Archbishop of Canterbury: Christians murdered in Kenya and Libya by Islamist terrorists are 'martyrs' are books devoted to biographies of martyrs. Due to the inherently biased nature of the books, promoting specific religious views, the books tend to be hagiographic in nature.
==Islamic martyrs==
The term "martyr" is quite similar to the Arabic term shahid (شهيد). 
Most Islamic clerics have issued fatwas against the killing of non-combatants and other innocents, and reject the term shahid for those who have killed themselves and others in the name of Allah.
Islam generally considers any woman who dies during childbirth to be shahida. 
===Examples of Muslim shahid(a)===
* Sumayyah bint Khayyat, first female martyr, who was executed when she converted to Islam in 615.
* Zayd ibn Ali — killed in 740 CE trying to protect his people from the rule of the corrupt and cruel Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik.
* The Five Martyrs of Shi'a — all 5 were executed by Sunni regimes for holding to Shi'a beliefs.
==Buddhist monks in Vietnam==
thumb|right|A statue honoring Thích Quảng Đức in Vietnam
 (d. 1963) is often considered a martyr for killing himself in order to bring awareness of the persecution of Buddhists by the Roman Catholic Church (and not the Vietnam War, as commonly believed). Đức killed himself because he felt no one in the West was aware of the people's struggles and such a dramatic act would bring some media attention and internal pressure. Although self-immolation was not unprecedented in Vietnam, the attention his actions received due to the iconic Life magazine photograph proved him right.

Mary Baker Eddy

Mary Baker Eddy was an Amercan religious leader. She was the founder of Christian Science and the author of its guidebook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. It claimed that, by understanding how we were merely the reflection of God, we could remove our injuries and diseases. She did not quite believe that things such as disease did not exist, as is often said, merely that spiritual methods were preferable to rational ones.
Christian Science "reading rooms" dot the United States and several other countries, locations where the religion's theological claims may be studied and meditated upon.http://www.yelp.com/biz/jointly-maintained-christian-science-reading-room-los-angeles They are also established online.http://spirituality4.me/ The Boston-based Christian Science Monitor is a globally respected newspaper and has won numerous awards for its journalism, including many Pulitzers.http://www.csmonitor.com/About/Advertise/Awards
In many ways, however, the church Baker Eddy founded is the largest collection of faith healers on the planet. Christian Science parents have lost their children to medical neglect and come to rue the faith,https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/faith-healing-religious-freedom-vs-child-protection/ and some have been successfully prosecuted for manslaughterhttp://www.nytimes.com/1990/08/06/us/in-child-deaths-a-test-for-christian-science.html?pagewanted=all or reckless homicide.http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/2009/05/15/may-15-2009-faith-healing-court-cases/2961/ So, this grandmotherly-looking lady has a lot of blood on her hands, as she encouraged medical neglect among her followers.

Mary Landrieu

Mary Landrieu is the former senior US Senator from Louisiana. Viewed as a flaming liberal in her home state, by national standards she was one of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate.The American Conservative Union gave her a 40% score in 2007 This means she voted for tax cuts, is against the estate tax, and supports drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. She did however, vote to repeal "Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT).The New York Times: Senate Vote 281 In typical Louisiana fashion, her brother was Mayor of New Orleans and Lt. Governor, and her father was also mayor of New Orleans. Ultimately, she was defeated by Republican Bill Cassidy in the 2014 U.S. midterm elections.
==Controversies==
In a move known as "The Louisiana Purchase", Landrieu voted for the 2009 Healthcare bill, but only after $300 million in aid was secured for her state. Before that, she opposed the bill. Right-wing activist James O'Keefe was caught breaking into her office on 25 January 2010. She was also considered one of the most corrupt Senators, after securing $2 million for a reading group that supported her reelection.2008 Citizens For Ethics Report

Mary Lou Bruner

Mary Lou Bruner, commonly described as the "looniest politician in Texas" (a state not exactly known for its sane politicians) and by definition likely the entire United States, is a far-right Texan Republican and former schoolteacher, as well as a creationist, homophobe, Islamophobe, birther, conspiracy theorist, and Confederate apologist whose batshit crazy views and opinions created controversy in 2016 when she decided to run for the Republican nomination for an East Texas seat on the Texas Board of Education.
==Why the controversy?==
Really? Where do we even begin?
===Science===
* Bruner is an avowed creationist, believing that school shootings are the direct result of the teaching of evolution. She has expressed belief in a batshit-insane conspiracy theory that scientists have found proof of a young earth, yet are colluding to cover up the evidence (for some reason).
* Bruner is also a climate change denier, calling climate change a "ridiculous hoax"' and believing that the global warming narrative is truly a veil for the advancement of Communism in America, even stating that it is a plot started by Karl Marx himself!
Remember, she was running for the board of education.
===History===
* Bruner believes in a pseudo-historical theory bordering on self-parody: that the American Civil War was truly about the railroad(!), instead of slavery. Perhaps she misunderstood references to the Underground Railroad.
* Bruner believes the Democratic Party was responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy as they preferred "socialist" Lyndon B. Johnson over "conservative" John F. Kennedy.
Board of education anyone?
=== Miscellanea ===
* Bruner believes pre-kindergarten education is a plot by the "GLBTQ [sic] agenda" to indoctrinate children into homosexuality.
* Bruner believes the content of Texan state school textbooks is dictated by "Middle-Eastern" countries.
* Did we mention she ran for the board of education?
* Fortunately, she lost her race by a hefty margin.
==More wingnuttery==
By far her most infamous claim is her groundless conspiracy theory that Barack Obama's support for gay rights is due to him working as a male prostitute in his early twenties in order to pay for drugs.

Mary Marshall

Mary Ann Marshall (1880-1963), also known as Mary M, was a Canadian medium. She is most notable for a photo depicting tissue coming out her nose with a picture of Arthur Conan Doyle's face in it which she claimed was his spirit.The Mediumship of Mary Marshall
==Biography==
Little is known about Marshall; she was of Scottish and Irish parentage but later moved to Winnipeg, Canada after World War I where she joined the Hamilton mediumship group. Some websites seem to have confused this Mary Marshall with another British medium with the same name who lived between 1842-1884.Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology: Mary Marshall
==Photos==
Photographs taken at the séances with Marshall were taken from 1928-1933 by the surgeon, and parapsychologist Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton (1873-1935).Psychic Research in a Winnipeg Family: Reminiscences of Dr. Glen F. Hamilton As a spiritualist, Hamilton believed that the photos were genuine evidence for spirits.Thomas Glendenning Hamilton (1873-1935) However the photographs reveal that the ectoplasm of Marshall in her seances were made of cloth, tissue, and magazine cut outs of people.Touching the Dead: Spooky Winnipeg by Tom Jokinen
