Dimitri van der Linden

Dimitri van der Linden is a Dutch psychologist and sexist pseudoscientist who argues women have on average significantly lower IQs than men and that this is because they have smaller brains (not withstanding that an "IQ" is a score, not a trait you have). While it is true that women on average have slightly smaller brains than men, there's no evidence this is linked to intelligence (we give more credit to how the brain is wired); furthermore, "It is scientifically well established that there is no difference on average in general intelligence between women and men."Science has been so wrong about women, and it's time to fix it. Mashable. 3 Aug 2017. For example a number of IQ tests have shown women and men on average, are approximately the same IQ, and any differences are statistically negligible (by <0.5 IQ point).Negligible Sex Differences in General
Linden was a speaker at the International Society for Intelligence Research 2009 conference.International Society for Intelligence Research. isironline.org. Unsurprisingly, Linden has struggled to publish his sexist pseudoscience and was left with the controversial journal Intelligence and the London Conference on Intelligence.Sex differences in brain size and general intelligence (g). Linden et al. 2017 argue against scientific consensus there are no sex differences in intelligence and instead maintain the average IQ of men is 4 points above that of women.
Linden has co-authored dozens of papers with far-right HBD pseudoscientist Curtis Dunkel.Dimitri van der Linden. researchgate. He has also co-authored papers with white nationalist Edward Dutton.Why is Intelligence Negatively Associated with Religiousness?. springer.com.The intelligence and personality of Finland's Swedish-speaking minority. sciencedirect.com.The Myth of the Stupid Believer: The Negative Religiousness-IQ Nexus is Not on General Intelligence (g) and is Likely a Product of the Relations Between IQ and Autism Spectrum Traits. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

Disciples of the New Dawn

The Disciples of the New Dawn is a Facebook group that appeared in 2014. The group purports to belong to a conservative Christian organization founded in 1956. However, sources have argued that they're actually made up of Internet trolls seeking to provoke strong reactions. In other words, these folks are more Landover than Westboro.EJ Dickson, This Facebook group is trolling moms who have had C-sections. The Daily Dot, 31 March 2015.Disciples of the New Dumb: Are the Disciples of the New Dawn a Legitimate Facebook Group?. Snopes, 31 March 2105.Who Are The Disciples of the New Dawn? enkivillage.org, c. 2015. The author of this post was apparently successfully trolled, stating "...they are a very real group with a following that agrees with them."Aloysius Fox, Disciples of the New Dawn . . . Satire, or Sincere? Archived from thepandorasociety.com, 19 January 2015. The group frequently shares inflammatory posts on Facebook, which have gone viral and prompted numerous petitions to ban the page.
The group's most controversial claim is that women who have had C-sections are not really mothers. They also seem awfully fond of fat-shaming and using the word "degenerate," both of which are things you'd be more likely to expect from alt-right 4channers than from the likes of Pat Robertson.
Another oddity is that the supposed founder is "Father Patrick Oliver Embry", whose initials spell POE. Moreover, while the "organization" portrays itself as fundamentalist, its founder uses the title "Father" like a Catholic priest would.
As expected, the group's asshattery attracted some internet denizens to create petitions to "remove" them.Remove Disciples of the New Dawn page. change.org, 30 July 2014.Shut Down Disciples of the New Dawn. thepetitionsite.com, c. 2014.

Discredited evolutionary theories

Scientists who study evolution come in many varieties, with conflicting theories about the nature and causes of evolution. Many theories eventually fall by the wayside, but can provide ammunition for the more scattershot of creationists who think that any attack on evolution by a biologist undermines evolutionary theory as a whole.
==Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829)==
Lamarck theorised that organisms evolve through passing on characteristics acquired in life. In the years before Darwin, Lamarck's ideas were favoured, but eventually drifted from their previous esteem for lack of supporting evidence. Only in France did Lamarckism survive in academic circles, and then only through misplaced patriotism. Lamarckism was also an influence on Lysenkoism.
==Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844)==
An early 19th-century naturalist, theories on evolution had far to go before they could be accepted. In fact his lack of evidence for his ideas (which relied in part on non-materialist thinking), in the face of attack by brilliant rivals such as Cuvier, meant that evolutionary theory was slow to take hold in scientific circles at the start of the century.
==Herbert Spencer (1820-1903)==
Spencer originally based his evolutionary ideas on Lamarck's until the works of Charles Darwin were published, which Spencer incorporated into his own writings. Spencer is considered to be one of the most prominent exponents of social Darwinism.
==Francis Galton (1822-1911)==
A half-cousin of Charles Darwin, Galton was a staunch proponent of Darwinian evolution. However, he also originated the concept of eugenics by applying it to society and politics.
==Nils Heribert Nilsson (1883-1955)==
While Nilsson's works, in particular a short article in German, have been used to discredit evolution, his outlandish theory of emication cannot be taken seriously these days. Only the most badly-informed and foolhardy of creationists would use him as a weapon against the evil Darwinian baby-eaters.
==Trofim Lysenko (1898-1976)==
Lysenko propounded a Lamarckian-derived version of evolution and denounced Mendelian genetics as a "bourgeois pseudoscience." He was the recipient of Josef Stalin's political favoritism and helped to cause famine in the Soviet Union.
==Stuart Pivar (1930-)==
Pivar holds that there is an archetypal substance, a self-organized pre-embryonic structure, which shapes the form of all living organisms. He has no evidence of such a substance, and likes to sue people who say it ain't so.
==Christian Schwabe (1930-)==
Christian Schwabe denies common descent, partly because there are no intermediate forms between molecules. Or something.

Discrimination

Discrimination is the treatment of similarly situated individuals differently, for either an arbitrary or non-arbitrary reason.
==Good discrimination==
Many people believe discrimination is good, when done for relevant and non-arbitrary reasons. For example, employing someone with better hand-eye co-ordination to operate machinery or accepting more mathematically able students into maths-based university courses. The mentality of "the best man man or woman person thing self defining as a human sentient-being-of-any-and/or-every-persuasion for the job" is considered acceptable because the criteria for discrimination is relevant and justifiable.
==Bad discrimination==
However, discrimination has become a loaded term, as its primary use is as a negative and generally refers to unjustified discrimination.
Race, gender, religious/philosophical views, and sexual orientation are often discriminated against. People are often rejected from job placements or other perks due to what Sir Joseph Porter KCBLook it up you uncultured philistines! would refer to as "an accident of birth". In the case of affirmative action or "positive discrimination", these traits are discriminated for in the hope of balancing out old, often ancient prejudices and previous discrimination.

Disease

A disease is a condition in which the life of an organism does not proceed easily; Encyclopedia Britannica defines it as "a harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism".Encyclopedia Britannica: disease Modern medicine recognizes many, but not all, diseases as infections by bacteria, other microbes, or viruses. A more holistic approach blames disease on stress, since germs are everywhere (like radiation and toxins). This has some factual basis, though, as stress can weaken the immune system.American Psychological Association: Stress Weakens the Immune System - "Our bodies are well equipped to handle stress in small doses, but when that stress becomes long-term or chronic, it can have serious effects on your body. [...] chronic stress can result in impaired communication between the immune system and the HPA axis." 
The study of disease is called pathology.What is Pathology?, McGill Department of Pathology.
==Germ theory and "dis-ease"==
Germ theory is the scientific theory that many diseases are caused by germs, a catchall term for pathogenic microscopic bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Many forms of alternative medicine presuppose a different cause of illness, and don't bother to verify whether those suppositions hold true. 
One common trope from chiropractic and other alternative medicine proponents who happen to, ahem, "have disagreements" with germ theory is to stylize the word disease as dis-ease (with a hyphen),Embry, Irucka. Germs Can Not & Do Not Cause Dis–ease: The “germ theory of disease causation” is a Fraud," ResearchGate. and hearken back to the original definition of disease ("A lack of ease; uneasiness; trouble; vexation; disquiet").

Dmitry Utkin

Dmitry Valerievich Utkin was a Russian far-right activist who co-founded and led the Wagner Group, a private military company known for its far right views and sympathies and having committed various war crimes in several countries across the world. Prior to founding the Wagner Group, he served as a Russian army officer within special forces GRU where he held the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Utkin was born in Asbestos, a small village in Russia (which was the Soviet Union at the time). He relocated to another village called Smoline with his mother during his childhood and continued to live there for most of his life.
Despite being an important figure regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war due to founding Wagner, he did not make any public appearances after 2016.
==Affinity for Nazism==
Utkin was quite a ghastly person in life, reported to be a supporter and admirer of Nazism and Nazi Germany despite original Nazism’s contempt for Slavs.. He was purported to have multiple Nazi tattoos, many with SS insignia. Utkin also reportedly referred to himself as “Wagner” as a call sign during his time in the Russian military and named the Wagner Group after Richard Wagner, a German musician with a controversial history of antisemitism whose music was appropriated by various far-right European movements in the 1900s, including the Nazis.
According to reports from other members of Wagner, Utkin was a Rodnover, a believer in the Many pagan symbols have been appropriated by present-day neo-Nazis.
==Death==
On 23 August 2023, Utkin was alleged to have died in a plane crash on the Tver Oblast along with fellow Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and other Wagner leaders.Helen Livingstone and Pjotr Sauer, Who are the other Wagner group leaders presumed dead in plane crash? The Guardian, 24 August 2023. After the recovery of their remains and thorough genetic analysis, it was confirmed that the bodies in the crash belonged to them and they were officially pronounced dead.https://news.yahoo.com/russia-confirms-death-wagner-leaders-110836440.html

DoNotLink

donotlink.com is a defunct, offline URL-shortening service with an emphasis on making sure that the linked websites (or webshites) do not enjoy an improvement in search ranking as a result. Ordinary inbound links to a site will (in time, in theory) cause search engines to make them more visible in general search results. Where the website in question carries content that is untrue, illegal or generally objectionable, using this service might not deny them the oxygen of publicity but it will at least leave them slightly short of breath.
Note that the site does get a page hit and its ads displayed (unless you're adblocking).
Other URL-shorteners or the venerable rel="nofollow" can be pressed into a similar role, but were not designed with this purpose in mind. donotlink.com uses multiple methods to prevent search engine robots from following the redirected link, and boasts of continuing efforts to prevent robots that don't play by the rules from getting around them.donotlink FAQ, archived from the original at donotlink.com. There's no way for a user to know for sure how effective all these measures are, or if they work at all, but if the alternative is giving NaturalNews more exposure without a fight, well, sensible people will at least give it a try.
Once you have followed a donotlink URL, you end up in a frame with donotlink gadgets at the top. The frame can disrupt some style and display elements of the underlying site, although in some cases that might be preferable to the site's layout as designed. The gadget lets you flag the link as one of a number of categories (nonsense, offensive, etc.) which are then reported to users visiting the site through donotlink.com.
donotlink.com's main page also allows comments on links the site has stored, in the grand tradition of the bottom half of the internet, although in this case the facility seems to be barely used at all.
An unpleasant side effect is that once inside the DoNotLink frame, you have no way to determine the actual URL of the website you are on,Aside from other considerations, this can be exploited for phishing and other hoaxes - copying the layout of a website on another host is relatively easy. and clicking on links will keep the newly opened pages also inside DoNotLink's frame. (Opening a link in a new tab will fix the latter problem.) Like with other URL shortener services, there's also no way to determine where you will end up before clicking a DoNotLink-ed link, though after a click, the site displays for a brief period of time a warning screen with the target of the redirect and its URL, so in theory you may be able to close the window before the target page loads. They could have put a "Stop" button, though.
As of September, 2017, an equivalent site, donotlink.it, went in service but it's now (3 June 2021) offline; its code is available on GitHub

Docetism

Docetism is broadly defined as any Christological teaching that claims that Jesus's body was either absent or illusory - the term derives from the Greek word dokein – "to seem".
Two varieties have become widely known:
* In one version, Christ was so divine he could not have been human, since God lacked a material body, and therefore could not physically suffer. Jesus only appeared to be a flesh-and-blood man; his body was a phantasm. This stance, taken by Marcionism, seems to predate even Marcion's time (c. 85 – c. 160), being criticized in .
* Other groups accused of docetism held that Jesus was a man in the flesh, but Christ was a separate entity, who entered Jesus's body in the form of a dove at his baptism, empowered him to perform miracles, and abandoned him on his death on the cross.
The term "docetic" should be used with caution, since its use is rather nebulous. insists that terms like "docetism", "encratism", and "adoptionism", as well as "Gnosticism", have suffered a fate similar to "Xerox, Jello, and Kleenex" - the words have become employed "far beyond what historically descriptive usage would allow".
Yes, the "scare quotes" also appear in Price's review of Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy, Jesus and the Lost Goddess: The Secret Teaching of the Original Christians (2002).
==In Islam==
Islamic theology also treats the incarnation of Jesus (or Isa), or at least his crucifixion, as docetic, as the Qur'an teaches (in sura ) that he was assumed into heaven to return again, rather than having been successfully crucified.

Doctors Health Press

Doctors Health Press is a website promoting alternative medicine and Big Pharma conspiracy theories.The Doctor's Health Journal of Alternative Remedies & Cures. The first words on that page are "THE SECRET PAIN BREAKTHROUGH THAT THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT". Its many articles are usually about "a new study" showing some "natural" treatment to be effective, or about some artificial chemical being harmful. (For example, see the article "This extract shown to Kill Cancer Cells". Note its vagueness and complete lack of references.) They claim their newsletter has 200,000 subscribers.About, Doctors Health Press.
They also sell health booksHealth Books. and subscriptions to various paper newsletters of theirs.Health newslettersAre your prescriptions making you sick? Avoid the Harmful Side Effects of Today’s Commonly Prescribed Drugs.
==Claims==
Some of the claims they make include:
*Big Pharma, the medical establishment, and the powers that be are trying to stop you from finding about the miracle that is homeopathySpecial Report That Busts Open One Of The Biggest Cover Ups In U.S. Medicine. — it's a good thing Doctors Health Press is here to speak out against the conspiracy! Of course, the conspirators aren't doing a particularly good job at hiding homeopathy, since it's frequently in the news, people talk about it all the time, and practicing homeopathists can be found pretty much everywhere (unfortunately), none of which is attributable to the actions of Doctors Health Press.
*You, too, can live to be 122 like Jeanne Calment by taking resveratrol, a natural compound found in red grape skin!"Identical Sister" nutrient REVS UP the Power of Resveratrol! But wait, that's not all: Doctors Health Press has an even better compound called pterostilbene, which they will graciously sell bottles of to you with loads of free gifts.

Doctors for Disaster Preparedness

Doctors for Disaster Preparedness (DDP)More accurately, "Doctors for Disaster Denial" is a somewhat curious denialist group associated with anti-environmental forms of denialism (including DDT ban myths, ozone depletion denial, global warming denial, and crank theories about radiation hormesis) and medical denialism (vaccine denial and HIV denial).
They are associated with Arthur B. Robinson's Oregon Institute for Science and Medicine, which distributes the Oregon Petition with its highly dubious claim to have identified 31,072 scientists who oppose the anthropogenic global warming consensus. DDP also seems to be another outlet for Robinson's brand of survivalism, being more concerned about the specter of nuclear war and duck and cover drills than actual problems or disasters. Their mission is, in theory, to refute "fake" threats and help prepare for "real" ones. Thus, the possibility of , vaccines, environmentalists, and dirty hippies — big threats to the existence of society. Global warming, ozone depletion, AIDS, etc.? Not so much. Their "educational resources" also include links to such trustworthy sites as Junk Science and the Heartland Institute.
Their address at 1601 N. Tucson Blvd. Suite 9, Tucson, Arizona is shared with that of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (and a pile of other charities), for whom Andrew Schlafly is general counsel. Andrew Schlafly was also a featured speaker at Doctors for Disaster Preparedness' July 2008 annual conference, where he spoke on "The Education of the World's Great Thinkers".Schlafly teaches worlds greatest thinkers shock! If you must, an mp3 of the speech is on archive.org.
DDP also gives out an award called "The Petr Beckmann award for courage and achievement in defense of scientific truth and freedom." It has been awarded to such denialist luminaries as:
