John Fagan

John Fagan is a notable anti-GM activist with a degree in molecular biology. He has contributed to the creation of a great deal of anti-GM propaganda, and sat on the board of Genetic ID, a company that stands to benefit directly from the controversy he generates over genetically modified food. He has connections to the Maharishi cult and the Natural Law Party. He is connected to an impressive amount of Maharishi-related and other businesses, many of which stand to directly gain from controversy over genetically modified foods."Check the Source -- New charges of GE food improprieties are made by the same people who profit from GE food scares." He has been accused of working with opponents of biotech (such as Jeffrey Smith, who is another Genetic ID member) in order to boost Genetic ID's profits."Caught in Headlights Of the Biotech Debate; A Gene-Testing Lab and Its Critics" Genetic ID and its various members have a very large amount of connections to anti-GM groups and organic food companies."Vedic businesses use clever advertising to implant beliefs about "Natural Law" in consumers psyches" He is now a senior scientist at the Health Research Institute, a laboratory established specifically to test for glyphosate residues.Certificate of Analysis - Health Research Institute

John G. Taylor

John Gerald Taylor was a British physicist, parapsychologist and author. He originally endorsed paranormal phenomena, but after his own experiments and serious investigation, he became skeptical of the subject.
==Parapsychology==
Taylor, after witnessing metal bending by Uri Geller, became interested in parapsychology. At first he believed that Uri Geller's feats were genuine, along with other reported paranormal phenomena. He wrote a book titled Superminds: An Enquiry into the Paranormal (1975) in which he argued for a physical explanation for the paranormal. He believed the explanation for metal bending, psychokinesis, ESP and other paranormal phenomena may be found in electromagnetism.
He was concerned to establish whether there is an electromagnetic basis for the phenomena, however after failing to find it, he did not believe that there could be any other physical explanation. Many of his experiments under laboratory conditions were negative, which left him skeptical regarding the validity of the reported phenomena. Taylor later became a skeptic of the paranormal; in his book Science and the Supernatural (1980) he declared that all reports of ESP and psychokinesis were either frauds or hallucinations, as he came to the conclusion that the paranormal can not be reconciled with modern physics.

John Gray

John Gray is an American author best known for his renowned pop psychology 1992 book Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and Aliens from Uranus.
He consistently uses the Ph.D. title, which was "earned" from the diploma mill Columbia Pacific University, which was forced to shut down in 1999 by a court order.
Selling simplistic and dubious relationship advice isn't enough, apparently, so today he's also peddling various forms of woo. For example, he posted long list of things supposedly causing ADHD, bipolar disorder and autism, including MSG, GMOs, pornography, toxins and heavy metals, video games, and much much more.It ticks pretty much all the boxes.
His website sells a long list of herbal medicines, superfoods, etc.http://www.marsvenus.com/list/john-gray-mars-venus-health which are of course recommended in his sales pitch weblog; for example for having better sex one should take not just one, not just two, but a total of six of these.http://www.marsvenus.com/blog/john-gray/why-most-married-men-have-low-libido In 2015 he supported a campaign asking that a seller of the quack potion Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS) be given a lenient jail sentence.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CScn5rtW4AA1zcL.png 
John Gray has worked alongside "Dr" Robert O. Young.Youtube of "Dr" John Gray with "Dr" Robert O. Young in 2018.
More recently, he has expressed negative views of the modern feminist movement, saying: "The reason why there's so much divorce is that feminism promotes independence in women. I'm very happy for women to find greater independence, but when you go too far in that direction, then who's at home?"http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/mars-venus-author-warns-sex-online-world-article-1.1822716 Also, while it isn't necessarily sexist to point out the differences between genders,http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/nov/03/if-self-help-books-are-sexist-why-do-we-keep-buying-them Gray has been accused of sexism as his works rely heavily on anecdotes and old stereotypes.Blakely, Rhys. John Gray, author of Men are from Mars, is stereotyping the sexes again, The Australian For example, he states in Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, "Being able to accomplish things without the help of others is a feather in their cap. (While for a woman, when someone assists her, having a supportive relationship is a feather in her cap.)"Gray, John.

John Jay

John Joseph Jay is the owner of the blog Summer Patriot, Winter Soldier. He has made statements which some have taken as advocating the murder of Muslims and Liberals.
==Comments on Muslims==
Jay caused controversy when he posted a comment on Pamela Geller's blog containing the following passages:
Jay was criticised for this post and responded by writing a lengthy essay stating that Islamic law does not forbid the killing of non-Muslims; "whatever high toned and high brow-ed notions you may adhere to regarding your treatment of your fellow human beings, and respect for their lives, those notions will accord you nothing in the eyes islam, and nothing in the eyes of a muslim", he wrote.http://wintersoldier2008.typepad.com/summer_patriot_winter_sol/2010/08/the-daily-kos-calls-me-killer-labels-me-a-very-disturbed-individual-the-pot-calls-the-kettle-black-.html
==Comments on the left==
At one point, on his own blog, Jay made the following remarks:
Jay responded to criticism of these remarks by stating that his left-of-centre detractors support "the carving of live children upon presentment of the crown at the opening to the birth canal, which amounts to the killing of millions every year." "is that not murder?", he asks.http://wintersoldier2008.typepad.com/summer_patriot_winter_sol/2010/08/well-it-is-an-interesting-little-world-we-live-in-isnt-it--i-have-come-under-fire-for-some-language-in-a-post-about-angelo.html No, Jay. No it's not. The vast majority of abortions don't even involve that.
==Relationship with Stop the Islamisation of America==
Conflicting statements have been made about Jay's involvement with SIOA. Daily Kos described him as a "SIOA co-founder", on the basis that alongside Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Anders Gravers and Richard Davis he co-founded the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which "seems to be the umbrella group that operates the more familiarly known SIOA".http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/8/3/890055/-SIOA-co-founder:-kill-your-liberal-relatives-and-all-Muslims%20daily%20kos
Jay responded by stating that "i was not and am not either a founder or a co-founder of s.i.o.a., that sort of thing being entirely beyond my reach. and i am not an officer or employee or even a member of s.i.o.a, though i am an enthusiastic proponent and supporter of its actions and goals." However, Spencer, in summarising Jay's post, referred to him as a member of the SIOA board.http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/08/hamas-linked-cair-dhimmi-leftist-bloggers-lie-again.html

John Kenneth Galbraith

John Kenneth Galbraith was a Canadian-born economist who was influential in the development of modern American liberalism, being instrumental in the spread of Keynesian economics in the United States. He wrote many books on economics and politics and held several US government posts, including Ambassador to India under the Kennedy administration. 
Galbraith believed that the market power of large corporations was a threat to the freedom of consumers. He also presented a series titled The Age of Uncertainty on BBC television. His son, James K. Galbraith, is also a prominent Keynesian (prominent mostly for being the son of John K. Galbraith).
His best known work is published in 1954. The book examines the precursors, development, responses, and consequences of the 1929 stock market crash. It remains one of the best (and most readable) works on financial bubbles and crises ever written. It remains in print as of 2013. Other works include The Affluent Society and American Capitalism. He also wrote A Short History of Financial Euphoria, which explains that we seem never to learn our lesson about bubbles. It is notable not because it's ground-breaking (it isn't) but because, confirming its central point, its truths tend to go ignored, ironically enough.

Galbraith was skeptical of economic forecasting. He said

John Locke

John Locke (August 29, 1632 – October 28, 1704) was a British philosopher famous for his works in social ethics, politics, and the social contract theory, as well as famous discourses on the rights of individuals. He was also a strong proponent of tabula rasa, or the idea that a person is a blank slate to be shaped by experience alone. Locke was notably accused of plagiarism of Thomas Hobbes after his friend, James Tyrrell's long-lost memoir was discovered and published in 2021.
Locke is often claimed by libertarians as one of their own, due to his writings' central emphasis on private property, liberty, and individual sovereignty."The Libertarian Heritage": John Locke He was also the founder of modern empiricist thought. However, his beliefs were strongly influenced by his Christianity, and aren't exactly compatible with the modern libertarian worldview. For instance, he believed that the needy have a right to the property of the wealthy,Reclaiming John Locke from libertarians that land could only be owned if there was still plenty left in common for others, that it is "useless and dishonest" to take more as property than you actually need,Marxists quoting Locke. Crazy, eh? and regarded economic exploitation of workers as akin to slavery."And a man can no more justly make use of another’s necessity to force him to become his vassal by withholding that relief God required him to afford to the wants of his brother, than he that has more strength can seize upon a weaker, master him to his obedience, and, with a dagger at his throat, offer him death or slavery." Hmm. Then again, he invested in the slave trade himself, so... maybe it's ok after all?http://onlinephilosophyclub.com/john-locke.php Of course, like others he could also simply be a hypocrite.
Really hardcore libertarians and anarcho-capitalists who oppose the idea of the social contract also find themselves in direct conflict with Locke, who was a major proponent thereof.
It's worth noting that John Locke died long before the advent and implementation of modern democracy, capitalism, and public welfare programs as we know them today, so attempting to shoehorn all his ideas into the modern condition has limited value at best, whether one is a libertarian, a Marxist, or of some other persuasion.
==Religious tolerance==
Despite having advanced views for his day and age, pleading for Christians to stop persecution in Europe, Locke still believed that the rights he was writing about did not apply to atheists, claiming that "[t]hose are not at all to be tolerated who deny the being of a God" and that an atheist cannot claim the privilege
of toleration in the name of religion, since his atheism does away with
all religion. His views on Catholics is also still subject to much debate.

John Loftus

John W. Loftus is an American author who writes about his conversion from Christianity to atheism.
During his almost twenty years as an evangelical Christian and Christian apologist, he experienced growing doubt about the tenets of the Christian faith. In the late 1990s, he experienced a crisis of faith that led him to reject Christianity altogether. He eventually wrote a book laying out his case against Christianity that he published in 2008 as Why I Became an Atheist: A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity. Later that same year, he self-published a companion book entitled Why I Became an Atheist: Personal Reflections and Additional Arguments.
His book The Outsider Test for Faith proposes a method for evaluating religious belief from an outsider's perspective.
He founded the website Debunking Christianity, before which he was a contributor to Freethought Blogs, which he left due to differences of opinion.

John Poindexter

right|165px|thumb|Official photo, 1985
John Poindexter (born August 12, 1936) is a retired American naval officer and Department of Defense official. 
He was Deputy National Security Adviser and National Security Adviser under the Reagan administration and was one of the major players in the Iran-Contra affair, for which he was convicted in April 1990 of multiple felonies. However, those convictions were later overturned on a technicality in a 2-1 decision.Incidentally, both judges who voted to overturn were Reagan appointees while the dissenting judge was a Carter holdover. (Poindexter Wins Iran-Contra Case in Appeals Court, New York Times, November 16, 1991, by David Johnston) Essentially, the judges held that witnesses had been influenced by Poindexter's testimony before CongressNote that Poindexter himself declared his congressional testimony to be true: "I stand by every word that I said and when I said the buck stopped with me with regard to the matters under discussion at the time, that was correct." (Poindexter Wins Iran-Contra Case in Appeals Court, NYT, November 16, 1991) and since he had been granted immunity for that testimony, the guilty verdict was overturned.
More recently, he served a brief stint as the director of the DARPA's Information Awareness Office under the George W. Bush administration.

John R. Brinkley

John Romulus Brinkley (later John Richard Brinkley; July 8, 1885 – May 26, 1942) was a "medical doctor" quack practitioner from Kansas in the 1920s best known for promoting his "goat gland" therapy, transplanting goat testicles into men to cure impotence.John R. Brinkley. Kansapedia. Kansas Historical Society.
Seriously. We aren't kidding. Goat testicles.
==Poor lil' goats==
Despite failing to graduate from Eclectic Medical College in Kansas City, Brinkley was able to practice medicine with an undergraduate license in some states and later obtained degrees from diploma mills.Weiser-Alexander, Kathy. John R. Brinkley – Goat Gland Doctor. Legends of America. In any case, he set up a radio station to promote his goat therapy, where he also pioneered the practice of issuing prescriptions over the air to his listeners without any diagnosis (later popular on the Internet for obtaining Viagra). 
The Federal Radio Commission (forerunner of the Federal Communication Commission) shut down his radio station, KFKB, in 1930 for promoting fraud, and his license to practice medicine was revoked the same year by the state of Kansas because 43 deaths were attributed to his goat transplants. Undaunted, he sold the station (for a profit) and moved his radio operations to Mexico where he beamed his goat testicle transplant advertisements into the United States at 100,000 watts over the first "border blaster" station, XER (later XERA) in Ciudad Acuña.
On the (possibly) positive side, Brinkley's radio station not only provided a platform for Brinkley's views but also entertainment in the form of the very first country & western radio music; in fact, Johnny Cash was first introduced to his future wife June Carter while listening to Brinkley's station.
==What's the matter with Kansas?==
In 1930, he ran for governor of Kansas as an independent and almost won in a 3-way race (29.5% of the vote). He ran again as an independent in 1932 and almost won again with 30.6% of the vote. Unable to become governor of Kansas and stack the medical board with his own appointees, he moved his practice to Texas in 1933.
==On-a Mexican-whoa-whoa, radio==
Meanwhile, his Mexican radio station started advertising a new therapy, mercurochrome injections and pills to cure impotence. (Mercurochrome is a topical antiseptic with a long history of safe and effective use as such, but it has no known use for impotence. The U.S. FDA removed it in the late 1990s from its Generally Regarded As Safe list as a topical antiseptic, mainly to throw out a bone to the anti-vaccination believers.)
In 1941 as World War II was getting underway, the Mexican government shut down his radio station for giving airtime to Axis sympathizers like Gerald Winrod and William Dudley Pelley, and he was out of business for good.
==Nuts!==
In 2016, a humorous documentary film was released on the life and times of John R. Brinkley, titled Nuts!.
