William Campbell Douglass

William Campbell Douglass IINot to be confused with William Campbell Douglass I. Whoever he was. is a doctor, alternative medicine promoter, anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist. As a conspiracy theorist, he believes that the World Health Organization developed AIDS as part of the New World Order's nefarious plan to take over the world by depopulating the Earth.W.H.O Murdered Africa. As a CAM supporter, he believes, among other things:
*A little tobacco smoking is both goodCoast to Coast AM Dr William Campbell Douglas:Health Benifits (sic) of Tobacco, on Free Republic.It's official: Smoking is good for you! (well, not exactly) and badDr. Douglass' Health Newsletter, The Douglass Report. (apparently he hasn't made up his mind)

*Hydrogen Peroxide can cure cancer and AIDS.Hydrogen Peroxide - Medical Miracle There is no scientific evidence for this.Can hydrogren peroxide help treat cancer?
In one anti-vaccine article, Douglass manages to accomplish the impressive feat of praising and denigrating anecdotes at the same time (emphasis added):
So, basically, dying from a vaccine (which vaccine, he doesn't say) is unspeakable evil, but dying from measles is perfectly OK. It may be worth mentioning that the MMR vaccine does not cause death in people who aren't allergic and is much safer than the diseases against which it immunizes. Also, Douglass implies that the "diseases supposedly eradicated by vaccines" (such as measles) would have gone away anyway, since they were declining before the vaccines were invented, and this raises the question: Why is measles still here? 
Douglass also has a webstore which sells his special brand of supplements.https://www.realadvantagenutrients.com/

William Edward Hickman

William Edward Hickman was an early 20th century American kidnapper and child murderer who called himself "The Fox". 
==The kidnapping and murder of Marion Parker==
On 15 December 1927, Hickman kidnapped Marion Parker -- the 12-year-old daughter of Los Angeles banker Perry Parker -- and ransomed her. However, before Parker could pay the ransom, Hickman killed little Marion. He decapitated, dismembered and disemboweled her.Because he disemboweled her, it was impossible to determine if he had also sexually molested Marion.
When Hickman met Parker to collect the ransom, he placed the reassembled parts of Marion's body in the passenger seat of a parked car. He had stitched Marion's eyes open so her father would think that she was still alive. When Parker gave Hickman the ransom money, Hickman jumped into the car and sped off. At the end of the block, Hickman opened the door and shoved Marion's body parts out onto the street and sped away.
Because Hickman had stuffed towels from the flophouse where he was staying into Marion's torso, his identity was quickly traced. He was caught a week later in the northeastern Oregon town of Echo. He later confessed to a dozen armed robberies and at least one more murder. He was hanged for his crimes on 19 October 1928 at the age of 20."William Edward Hickman", Murderpedia webpage.
==Objectivist hero (of a sort)==
So, why does this piece of human excrement warrant a page on RW? Because it turns out that Hickman became a hero to none other than Ayn Rand. In the Journals of Ayn Rand, she wrote that she attempted to write a novel titled The Little Street. The novel's hero, Danny Renahan, was "suggested" by Hickman, but "with a purpose. And without the degeneracy." Rand viewed Hickman as having a "wonderful, free, light consciousness" regarding "the necessity, meaning, or importance of other people."Prescott, Michael. "Romancing the Stone-Cold Killer: Ayn Rand and William Hickman", crime author Michael Prescott's website, ©2005. Although The Little Street was never completed, Rand took what she saw as the most compelling aspects of Hickman and his crimes, and incorporated these characteristics into many of her later protagonists, including the vaunted John Galt. Those compelling aspects included:
*A purely self-centered hero who was willing to do whatever it took to achieve certain goals;
*An unimaginative society that (in Rand's eyes) had committed worse crimes than the hero. When faced with the acts of Rand's hero, this shortsighted society -- in the ultimate act of psychological projection -- united in an effort to utterly destroy said hero.Siabarra, Chris Matthew. "A Renaissance in Rand Scholarship", Reason Papers, 23 (Fall 1998): 132-59. (NYU website reissue)
==Trivia== 
Due to the notoriety of the case, the murder was actually made into an episode of the old Dragnet Radio Serial. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. (That and a few other details for the broadcasting standards at the time)

William Fix

William Fix is a paranormal author and disciple of Edgar Cayce.
==Biography==
Fix has an M.A. degree in behavioral science from Simon Fraser University and is the author of several books promoting the paranormal. He has also written books about Edgar Cayce and has translated some of his works.
==Evolution==
Fix is most well known for his book The Bone Peddlers: Selling Evolution (1984) in which he proposed the concept of "psychogenesis," which posits that humans started off as spirits but slowly descended into matter. This occult idea was first put forward by the psychic Edgar Cayce.Psychogenesis — Edgar Cayce's Cosmology 
Fix described the theory as a form of spiritual evolution; however, it is actually a creationist idea as it rejects evolution and naturalistic processes. The first half of Bone Peddlers rejected common descent and evolution based on the fossil record and the back half discussed psychogenesis from paranormal and parapsychology studies. Fix believed that humans obtained their material bodies through psychokinesis. He also claimed that humans can cause objects to materialise just by thinking about them.
===Fix and creationists===
Bone Peddlers has been quote mined and lied about by hundreds of creationists who have tried to use Fix to prove that evolution is a "theory in crisis" that even secular non-Christian scientists are turning away from. Fix, however, is not a scientist nor a secularist but an occultist, and the back half of his book discusses reincarnation, out-of-body experiences, psychokinesis, spirits, and extrasensory perception. All of these are things that are deemed "heretical" by orthodox Christianity and "woo" by scientists and secularists, yet Fix believes that all of them are real.Review: The Bone Peddlers The fact that creationists quote Fix and use him as a "secular" ally, while remaining silent on the paranormal and occult ideas that actually informed his rejection of evolution, speaks volumes about their total lack of scientific and moral integrity.
In an article titled The Evolution Deceit, Muslim creationist Harun Yahya quote mined Fix's book, lying about Fix by calling him an "evolutionist biologist".Creationist lying about Fix Yahya might want to look up the definition of deceit, as he fits it very well.
Interestingly, Fix's ideas about human origins are exactly the same as those found in Hare Krishna creationism.Michael Cremo (2003). Human Devolution: A Vedic alternative to Darwin's theory. Bhaktivedanta Book Publishing.

William G. Boykin

William G. "Jerry" Boykin was a Lieutenant General in the United States Army and the US Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence under President Shrub from 2002-2007. He is also a pretty severe wingnut.http://www.rightwingwatch.org/category/people/jerry-boykin
Boykin has been involved in almost every recent major American military operation, from the Mogadishu operations in 1992 up to the events of the Iraq/Afghanistan War.
==Deus vult!==
A Christian fundamentalist, during the Iraq War, he characterized the war on terror as an apocalyptic crusade between the American soldiers of Jesus and the dirty brown Moslems who seek to overrun civilization.
This led to the Pentagon (and Shrub) emphasizing that Boykin’s statements in no way reflected the point of view of the president or the administration. Rummy didn't hold that opinion, though.
In case it wasn't obvious, Boykin is a big fan of the whole America as a Christian nation idea. 
==Retirement and activism==
After his retirement from government service in 2007, Boykin decided not to lay on his duff and in proper military fashion began applying his enthusiasm to activism.
As well as taking a teaching stint at Hampden-Sydney CollegeStaff directory and being the author of several books,Amazon page2nd Amazon page Boykin has accepted a position as Executive Vice-President of the Family Research Council.Look where Delta Force general is headed
Boykin is also a leading member of the following, in official and unofficial capacities:
* The Benghazi Accountability Coalition:http://benghazicoalition.org/bac-members/ Member List A group devoted not only to "exposing" the "truth" behind that event, but also "events that occurred, before, during, and after the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks."
* The Oak Initiative,Staff List a dominionist Christian group devoted to furthering the Seven Mountains theology, led by Rick Joyner.The best concise summary available.

William Godwin

William Godwin was an English journalist, political philosopher and novelist whose involvement in securing universal education for women is not historically important enough to inform students of; particularly in the public schools he fought for them to have access to. Godwin is best forgotten for having formulated anarchist theory, believing in human immortality, and for his final book: Lives of the Necromancers. Godwin was the husband of feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Mary Godwin, author of Frankenstein and wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Despite chronicling legends of ancient royalty, philosophers and religions utilizing necromancy, electricity weapons, robots, flying machines, head transplants, cybernetics, weather control, talking animals, size changing fairies, elementals, invisibility potions, sympathetic magic, super strength, alchemists that cured cancer, completely realistic illusions that feel like a life time but really lasted seconds, people showing up hundreds of years after they disappeared, and a dragon with teeth that grow into adult humans within seconds; Lives of the Necromancers is effectively invisible to modern conspiracy theorists because it doesn't have the word "aliens" in the title. It also mentions an instance of a priest in Rome using a magic lantern projector combined with drugged smoke to give the appearance of demons.

William H. Philpott

William H. Philpott was a proponent of magnetic field therapy, orthomolecular medicine, mental illness denialist. He won the 2000 American Academy of Environmental Medicine Jonathan Forman awardhttp://www.aaemonline.org/forman.php, and the 1997 Linus Pauling award from the Orthomolecular Health SocietyNot to be confused with several other similarly named awards which are given to real scientists who did real scientific work, which he was a founding member of.http://polarpowermagnets.com/?page_id=7
He wrote four books, all of them co-authored with Dwight K. Kalita except The Biomagnetic Handbook, which was co-authored with Sharon Taplin.
*Brain Allergies: The Psychonutrient and Magnetic Connections (1990), claims that "exposure to certain foods and other substances triggers mental disorders in people so predisposed, and that such disorders can be cured by eliminating exposure to these substances". Foreword is by Linus Pauling.
*The Biomagnetic Handbook (1990), only 5 star reviews on Amazon, so it's got to be true, right?
*Victory Over Diabetes (1991), purports to "not yet realized errors of chemistry and lifestyle that are responsible for perversions of glucose metabolism, ranging from hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia"

William Li

William Li is a woomeister who claims that we can eat our way out of cancer and other diseases using a practice he calls "angiogenesis therapy."
==Angiogenesis==
Angiogenesis is how your body grows new blood vessels — it's a thing; look it up in your freshman physiology text. The woo comes in when Li argues that "angiogenesis therapy" promotes the growth of new blood vessels to "replenish the blood supply to chronic wounds to speed healing, and [prevent] unnecessary amputations.""Understanding Angiogenesis."
In reality, angiogenesis can make you worse if you have metastatic (malignant) cancer. When a tumor metastasizes in a new area of the body, it starts tiny but sends out signals telling the surrounding tissue to grow new blood vessels so that it can feed. Without angiogenesis, the new tumor can't grow more than a pinhead. One cancer management therapy under serious study uses angiogenesis inhibitors such as thalidomide to prevent new blood vessels from forming.The National Cancer Institute, fact sheet on angiogenesis inhibitors

William Nelson

"Dr." William "Bill" C. Nelson, or, perhaps, "Professor" Nelson, was born June 19th 1951, precisely 2400 years after the birth of Confucius.Bill Nelson's biography at Quantum Life (5 Aug 2002)img In Pakistan he has been called "the Father of New Homeopathy". While working for the AC Electronics division of General Motors in 1970, Bill's mathematical genius single-handedly saved the Apollo 13 astronauts with just 15 minutes to spare. Soon after, Bill decided to be a pastor like his good friend and teacher Rev. Sinner . At the seminary, Bill was told that one day God would call him to service. When God spoke to Bill he said "I don't want you here. I want you to rewrite molecular biology." Not wishing to disobey, Bill embarked on the path to learn all about molecular biology. Ten years later in 1982, Bill finished his magnum opus, PROMORPHEUS, which was sent to the Library of Congress. Twenty years later it was "still the most technical and mathematical treatise on life process existing". "For this effort Dr. Nelson has been nominated for the Noble Prize every year since.

Wilson Greatbatch

Wilson Greatbatch was a prolific American engineer who invented the pacemaker amongst many other unique pieces of technology. He held over 300 patents.Wilson Greatbatch. Retrieved March 31, 2020. Greatbatch published an autobiography, The Making of the Pacemaker: Celebrating a Lifesaving Invention, in 2000.
==Implantable pacemaker==
Wilson Greatbatch was an electrical engineer, earning a bachelor’s degree in 1950 from Cornell University, and a master’s degree (1957) from the University of Buffalo. In 1956 Greatbatch inadvertently fitted a wrong-size resistor into an oscillator he was building to record heartbeats, causing the device to emit intermittent electrical pulses. This incident sparked his idea for the pacemaker, which he patented in 1962 after a few years of tinkering on the device in his barn. Prior to his work Swedish scientists had created an implantable pacemaker, but it failed after only a few hours. Their second attempt lasted only a few days.Altman, Lawrence (18 Jan 2002). "Arne H. W. Larsson, 86; Had First Internal Pacemaker". New York Times. Retrieved 31 March 2020. His pacemaker was a major medical breakthrough credited with saving millions of lives. Greatbatch's original pacemaker had a battery life of only two years was first implanted in a human in 1960. By 1972 Greatbatch had succeeded in extending the life of the battery to about 10 years. Greatbatch was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1986 and in 1990 he was the recipient of the National Medal of Technology. In his later years he experimented with creating a genetically-engineered cure for AIDS and building a nuclear-powered spaceship."Wilson Greatbatch | American electrical engineer".

Wingnut

A wingnut is a specialized, convenient item of hardware.
Like a normal nut, it has threads on the inside to engage the threads on a bolt or stud. However, instead of flat faces that must be engaged with a wrench (or Mr. Goodpliers), a wingnut has (typically) two large "wings" that allow it to easily be tightened or loosened with the fingers. Unlike some nuts, squirrels don't have much of an appetite for wingnuts (they find them tasteless, and hard to swallow).
Wingnut is also a snarl word referring to anyone whom the speaker considers unreasonably far to the right, analogous to "moonbat" — mostly by those on the left, but also some people of faith (especially Christians) have used it to refer to batshittery within their own camp — mostly for the religious right and creationists.
==Alternative meaning==
Just like not all conservatives are neocons, not all conservatives are wingnuts either. In fact, more often than not, the term is usually used interchangeably with "reactionary" or "radical right".
Being a wingnut requires a particularly paranoid worldview, teetering on the edge of or falling wholesale into tinfoil hat territory, as wingnuttery causes the victim to refuse to accept any source of information that doesn't back up their prejudices (essentially, wingnuts are almost always authoritarian as well as being politically right-wing). Constant gibbering about the "liberal media" as well as a slavish devotion to cognitive dissonance, conspiracy theories, global warming denialism, COVID-19 denialism, psychological projection, and crackpot theories of economics (e.g. Austrian school, Social Credit) are also, if not required, at the very least nearly universal symptoms. This is all usually accompanied by a side dish of a severe persecution complex. Not all wingnuts are racists, misogynists, homophobes, or transphobes, though many racists, misogynists, homophobes, and transphobes are also wingnuts.
Unfortunately, in the United States, that seems all the more common every day.

*A racial slur for non-white people, a diminutive form of the racist children's character 'golliwog', primarily used in Britain (Oxford English Dictionary, definition 1.a.)
*A term used by Scientologists to refer to non-Scientologists. Some "wogs" may also be deemed "suppressive persons".
