Maitreya

Maitreya is, in Buddhism, the name of the prophesied future Buddha who will usher in a new age of adherence to the correct universal law. According to Buddhism, he will appear when the whole world has forgotten the teachings of Sakyumuni Buddha (the historical Buddha, otherwise known as Gautama or Siddhartha). 
Many people have claimed to be Maitreya — despite Buddhism still being alive and kicking — however, the very specific prophecies surrounding his ascension have never come to fruition (in particular, the seas are supposed to lower enough for him to walk to all of the world to teach his message). The popular image of the Buddha as overweight and jolly is actually a depiction of Budai, a pre-incarnationThis means that that Budai was an entity who will someday be reborn and become Maitreya, once Buddhism becomes forgotten. of Maitreya.
In Theosophy, Maitreya is the cosmic consciousness watching over the whole world. In the early part of the twentieth century, a group of theosophists became convinced that they had found the future vessel for Maitreya in the form of the Indian boy Jiddu Krishnamurti, a claim he later renounced, closing the Order of the Star in the East, the organization devoted to propagating his teachings worldwide. Many other non-Buddhist groups have used the term in similar ways. Some Christians believe that Maitreya is, in fact, the Antichrist.Warning: Will make your eyes hurt (not joking)http://www.lookupfellowship.com/2008/12/is-maitreya-man-of-sin.htmlhttp://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1677.cfmKeating's 'Maitreya' - The Controversy Heats Up, Rick Visneau, Rense.com

Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for girls' education. When she was a schoolgirl in October 2012, she was the target of an assassination attempt by the Pakistani Taliban. Since then she has been living in Birmingham, United Kingdom, both to continue medical treatment and to protect her against a repeat attempt on her life. 
Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. At age seventeen, she is the youngest Nobel laureate in history. 
== Early life ==
Yousafzai was born in 1997 in the Swat region of northern Pakistan. Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, is himself an education activist and runs a network of schools in Pakistan. "Yousafzai" is not truly a Western-style surname, but the name of Malala and Ziauddin's tribe.
When Yousafzai was 11, the Pakistani Taliban took over the region. They came in the night (much like vampires) and gradually introduced Sharia law, forbidding music, requiring women to be veiled in public, and closing girls' schools (probably worse than vampires). During this period, Yousafzai began writing a blog for BBC Urdu, detailing her experiences.
==Assassination attempt==
Prior to the attempt on her life, Yousafzai had received death threats. She was shot by a Taliban gunman on October 9, 2012 after taking an exam. 
===Reaction===
Yousafzai survived the attack. Following the attempt on her life, she became a peace activist advocating education, feminism, and rights for young women in the Muslim world. Subsequently, she wrote a book titled I Am Malala, which detailed her experience and outlined her views on human rights. Yousafzai met with many world leaders, including President Barack Obama. Madonna got a temporary tattoo dedicated to Malala as well, in support and honor. She has been favorably compared to Holocaust diarist Anne Frank.

Malik Zulu Shabazz

Malik Zulu Shabazz was the chairman of the New Black Panther Party until 2013, and an activist for the cause of black supremacy.
==Bigotry==
Shabazz has a vehement hatred for Judaism and Jews. He blames Jews for doing the following:
*Killing Nat Turner
*Controlling the Federal Reserve
*Controlling athletes and entertainers
*Plotting 9/11MALIK ZULU SHABAZZ
*Being in charge of the Atlantic Slave Tradehttp://archive.adl.org/learn/ext_us/malik_zulu_shabazz/default.asp?LEARN_Cat=Extremism&LEARN_SubCat=Extremism_in_America&xpicked=2&item=shabazz
*Being involved in a black Holocaust.
He is a promoter of the International Jewish conspiracy. Shabazz has called on people to commit genocide on Jews, saying, "Kill every goddamn Zionist in Israel! Goddamn little babies, goddamn old ladies! Blow up Zionist supermarkets!"
He also hates whites as well, and rants about looking forward to the "white man's demise."
After the conviction of Dwight York, founder of Nuwaubianism, on multiple counts of child molestation and racketeering, Shabazz spoke out in support of York and assisted him with an ultimately rejected appeal that alleged a vast conspiracy.
==Influence?==
Shabazz's organization is poorly funded and membership is thought to be incredibly low. Despite his apparent lack of real power, he is repeatedly invited to Fox News as a "talking head" where he makes Sean Hannity look sane.They do this with Al Sharpton too. He's been invited on Fox at least ten times.http://archive.adl.org/anti_semitism/shabazz_cspan_conference.asp There are multiple possible reasons for this: 
#In stopped clock mode, Fox is actively working to fight bigotry and racism.
#He is effective at scaring their audience into thinking black supremacists are more powerful than they actually are, thus encouraging them to support racist policies against blacks. He also makes the hosts look "brave" for standing up for whites and Jews against a racist.
#A segment of Fox's audience is sympathetic to his support for racial segregation and his anti-Semitic/anti-government conspiracy theories, as they hold similar views themselves.
Wingnuts including Andrew Breitbart have falsely claimed that Shabazz has visited the White House and is a friend of Barack Obama. The first claim is easily dismissed, as Shabazz has never visited the White House.National Review Lies Its Way Through The New Black Panther Story The second part is just as easily dismissed: Obama has never even spoken about Shabazz and Shabazz is on record as saying that he hates Obama, calling him a "nigger" and saying that he represents the white man.Malik Zulu Shabazz Blasts Obama On The Air!

Malleus Maleficarum

Malleus Maleficarum, or The Hammer of the Witches in English, was a serious attempt by the inquisitor Heinrich Kramer to debunk rebunk a number of myths about witches and was published in 1487. The Roman Catholic Church had previously denied the existence of witchcraft at various points during the Middle Ages, relegating witch burning to a folk practice (and notably, Kramer himself had been expelled from the town of Innsbruck after a witch trial he was involved in found the "witch" innocent, as his obsession with her sexual habits and supposed guilt convinced the local bishop that Kramer had gone insane). The publication of Malleus helped launch a new moral panic over witchcraft and became a standard handbook in the prosecution and torture of "witches." It was also responsible for helping to spread sexism as it claimed that women were easily tempted into making a contract with Kyubey sleeping with the Devil and thereby being turned into magical girls witches. The book discusses recruitment practices of witches and Satan, how to identify witches, and methods of punishment torture. In a possibly unrivaled-in-history instance of complete gullibility, Kramer included a 15th-century dirty joke (with the punchline, "But the biggest cock belonged to the priest") as a factual account of witchcraft:
As described in Malleus Maleficarum, the methods to be used in the witch hunt fall into six parts:The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe: How to Know What's Really Real in a World Increasingly Full of Fake by Steven Novella et al. (2018) Grand Central Publishing. ISBN 9781538760536.

Mammal

Mammals (systematic name Mammalia) are a warm-blooded and mostly fluffy class of vertebrate animals which feed their young using the mammary glands, for which the group is named. These mammary glands evolved as an adaptation of sweat glands.
Unlike birds, which diverged from dinosaurs during or before the Jurassic era, mammals evolved from synapsids, diverging from their therapsid line during or after the Triassic era. Morganucodon represents an early transitional form of mammal.
==Traits==
Mammals are characterised by such traits as three middle-ear bones, dentary bones articulated directly to the skull, fur, sweat glands, hair, mammary glands, a incisors, canines, molars, premolars, molars doubled rooted, and pelvis fused.
In another miracle of evolution, the joints of the human female pelvis relax during late-stage pregnancy to ease the passage of the baby during birth.
==Diversity==
Australia's platypus and echidna (known as prototheria or monotremes), uniquely among extant mammals, lay eggs, a sign of mammals' distant amniote ancestry. All other mammals (known as theria or therians) give birth to live young, including marsupials such as the kangaroo and its misplaced distant relative the opossum (which carry their young in a pouch), and placental mammals like us and goats (whose young are carried within their bodies until they develop long enough to survive outside their mothers' bodies (with said young being encased in a placenta, hence the name)).
Mammals form an enormously diverse group, thousands of species having developed varying traits in adapting to numerous habitats around the world. Mammals range from small rodents such as mice and rats, to bats, horses, sheep, goats, cats and other carnivores, marine mammals such as whales and dolphins, and primates, including monkeys, apes and humans.
==Creationism==
According to creationists, virtually none of the above is correct. Beasts of the land (such as ostriches) were created intact and various on the sixth day of creation, whales having been created along with fish on the fifth day. (Don't even ask about bats.)

Manfred Gerstenfeld

Manfred Gerstenfeld (1937-2021) was an Austrian far-right crank and Islamophobe who lived in Israel. He was most widely known in Norway, including for his claim that Norway is the world's most anti-semitic country. Norway's largest newspaper, the conservative (centre-right) daily Aftenposten, has described him in an editorial as a "far-right extremist and fanatic."http://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/leder/article3387658.ece Gerstenfeld also contributed to the Islamophobic blog Document.no,www.document.no/2013/09/vil-en-ny-regjering-bety-endret-syn-pa-israel/ known as the ideological inspiration of Anders Behring Breivik and described by the Financial Times as "a website rife with anti-Muslim and hard right rhetoric."Andrew Ward; Robin Wigglesworth (2011-07-25). "Killings sure to stir immigration debate". Financial Times. 
Odd Bjørn Fure, the director of the Norwegian Holocaust museum and the leading expert on antisemitism in Norway, has given Gerstenfeld this testimonial:
Gerstenfeld formerly headed two extreme right-wing think tanks in Israel, the "Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs" and the "Institute for Global Jewish Affairs," which are known to primarily advocate the views of the far-right settler movement and to describe all criticism of Israel as "anti-semitism."
==Opinions on Norway==
Gerstenfeld claimed that "Norway is a nation of Jew-haters"Israelsk avis: Kristin Halvorsen sa «Død over jødene!», Dagbladet and that "Norwegians are a barbaric and unintelligent people."Nordmenn er et barbarisk og uintelligent folkeferd, Dagbladet He has also claimed that Norway's former Deputy Prime Minister Kristin Halvorsen, King Harald V, Crown Prince Haakon, former Foreign Minister and current Labour Party leader Jonas Gahr Støre, and most of Norway's political elite are anti-semites.http://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/leder/article3387658.ece

Maoist Internationalist Movement

Founded in 1983 as the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, the Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) was a clandestine Maoist movement in the USA. Its origins lie in a radical group at Harvard University. They developed an ideology known as MIM Thought, and had only a post office box as an address. It is likely that the only branch that ever existed was the Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika (yes, that's not a spelling error).https://www.prisoncensorship.info/archive/etext/ There is no sign of any international presence.
==Anonymity==
The organization was truly clandestine, and no names were ever given of any members. They were only listed as MIM Comrade X. The organization frequently wrote about saboteurs and enemies, and Prairie Fire (head of LLCO) said that it had become a security cult. After dissolution of MIM, it was revealed that Henry Park was the founder.Henry Park Obituary: MIM Comrade and Devoted Revolutionary by Soso (September 2011) Under Lock & Key.
==Publications==
The organization's main publication was MIM Notes https://maoistrebelnews.com/2015/04/11/interview-commander-prairie-fire-of-the-leading-light-communist-organization. Starting from September 24, 1984 and ending in May 2006, 335 issues were published.

Marc Morano

Marc Morano (born 1968) is a wingnut propagandist and global warming denier (his fans call him a "climate realist"). He kicked off his career by learning the tricks of the trade as a producer on Rush Limbaugh's show in the early '90s. He then went on to work for L. Brent Bozell's Media Research Center.
In 2004, he was one of the first "reporters" to hype the John Kerry swiftboating "story." In 2006, preeminent denier and wingnut Jim Inhofe hired Morano to be his "Director of Communications." Morano's position got him into a number of climate conferences and policy hearings. He also put out a bogus report about 700+ number of scientists who "disagreed" with the consensus (a la Oregon Petition). Some scientists called for his resignation due to the number of distortions and lies about their work he promulgated. In 2009, Morano left Inhofe and became the proprietor of the website "Climate Depot." Climate Depot is sponsored by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, an Exxon funded think tank.Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow factsheet at Exxon Secrets Supposedly, he exposes the "lies" of the "warmists" and "scientific McCarthy-ites" (oh the irony!) who do research in that inconvenient thing called science. The site is really more of a denialist-style Drudge Report that links to whatever nonsense it can find.
In 2010, Morano was given the "Petr Beckmann award" by Doctors for Disaster Preparedness. Apparently, he thinks this is something to be proud of.Petr Beckmann Award Given to Marc Morano
No, he is not Marc Maron.
==Interview in Merchants of Doubt==
Interviewed in the 2014 documentary Merchants of DoubtMerchants of Doubt directed by Robert Kenner, 2014, he described his involvement with the climate change controversy and how he started Climate Depot.
Asked about the threatening emails that claims to have receivedMerchants of Doubt (youtube), 00:47:04 after the publication of his email address, Morano explained why he doesn't see any problem.

Marc Thiessen

Marc Thiessen was George W Bush's chief speechwriter (you can still see the bald spots from the torn-out hair), before which he was an aide to Donald Rumsfeld and Jesse Helms. He is a staunch defender of enhanced interrogation techniques, and has written a book subtitled How the CIA Kept America Safe, and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack. So, that's "safe" as in letting your greatest known enemy fly planes into your skyscrapers, then. He also currently writes for the National Review Online, often known as the "World's Shittiest Website." In February 2010 he was given a recurring column in the Washington Post.AEI Page
He popped up again in February 2012, aghast that people have compared the Bush administration's actions to those of the Spanish Inquisition, just because both happened to use waterboarding. While it is true that the Bush administration was not intentionally copying the Spanish Inquisition (it being too busy copying the Roman Emperor Caligula with its creation of an alternate reality), both groups did in fact use simulated drowning as a method of torture. If Marc Thiessen Doesn't Want To Be Compared To The Spanish Inquisition He Should Stop Advocating Torture Techniques Used In The Spanish Inquisition ThinkProgress.org 
In addition, his position on the NSA leaks of 2013 is standard for a Republican and he feels that the spying was warranted, and that those responsible for the leaks should be punished. Yes, Publishing NSA Secrets Is A Crime And he was extended even more wingnut welfare with a position on Fox News in 2014

Marcello Truzzi

Marcello Truzzi (1935-2003) was a notable figure in the early years of the skeptical movement in the US. He became one of the founding members of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP, later mercifully shortened to the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry) and co-chaired it together with Paul Kurtz. He quickly left the organization, though, as he felt they were not "true skeptics". (His view on skepticism was closer to Pyrrhonism and Forteanism than the CSICOP version.)
==On psuedoskepticism==
One thing that got on Truzzi’s nerves was how most skeptics would prefer to take the easy way of skepticism. Meaning that rather than deep inquiry, psuedoskeptics would criticize ideas before they are actually investigated.

March Against Monsanto

March Against Monsanto is an anti-genetically modified food organization with a penchant for attributing unrelated conspiracy theories to Monsanto. They blame everything from colony collapse disorder to cancer on the existence of genetically modified crops. These claims are backed by only the fact that cancer and colony collapse disorder exist. They are also quite happy to cite paperslike this by people who have had to retract their previous papers on the subject under accusations of fraud.
The organization was founded by California homemaker-turned-food woo guru Tami Monroe Canal.
==Conspiracies==
It should be no surprise that the group's Facebook page is a crank magnet, with claims of chemtrails being used to kill non-genetically modified plants to cement a world-wide monopoly, and anti-vaccine hysteria being rampant.Why We'll March Against March Against Monsanto Their website includes claims that US elections are rigged.Why Voting Is a Hoax

Marfa lights

The Marfa lights are an unusual optical phenomenon occurring just outside of the desert town of , Texas. Certain people and media have attributed this to the usual suspects of mysterious phenomena such as spirits or UFOs. Unlike most unexplained phenomena the Marfa lights occur frequently enough to be tested and studied. The general rational consensus is that they're a mirage effect caused by alternating patches of cool and hot desert air which magnify the headlights of cars on route 90 and Highway 67, some 5 miles distant.
The Marfa lights were first reported in 1957 in an issue of Coronet Magazine, though scattered anecdotal accounts put them several decades earlier. 
==Research (of various sorts)==
In 2005 the Society of Physics Students at the University of Texas at Dallas conducted a battery of experiments that strongly supported the car headlight theory, correlating light sightings to traffic density. They also had a vehicle at the perceived position of the lights which confirmed the lights as an illusion.Society of Physics Students at the University of Texas at Dallas. "An Experimental Analysis of the Marfa Lights." Society of Physics Students. 2005 December 10.
Others have a more fanciful approach, like James Bunnell of Marfa Lights Research. Bunnell offers a myriad of theories about the Marfa lights, but he's a mild and surprisingly honest crank. On his own website he admits that "while most observed lights can be explained, about three percent are truly mysterious and of unknown origin."James Bunnell. "Hunting Marfa Lights." Marfa Lights Research. 2012 September 23. Despite it being 97% explicable, Bunnell has several research papers attempting to link the lights to lunar cycles, solar storms, or similar miscellaneous factors. The results are sketchy and often overlook other possible correlating factors. Even when there is no correlation Bunnell is honest enough to publish negative results of this research.
The majority of websites regarding the Marfa lights are ignorant, possibly willfully. Despite the lights being both researchable and researched, they claim that the lights are totally mysterious and cite an episode of the 1980s infotainment series Unsolved Mysteries which concluded that the lights were both mysterious and unsolvable. Of course, they wouldn't have much of an episode if they found otherwise."The Marfa Lights." Unexplained.
