White separatism

White separatism is a separatist political movement that seeks separate economic and cultural development for "white people". White separatists generally claim genetic affiliation with Anglo-Saxon cultures, Nordic cultures, or other white European cultures, but not, obviously, the evil darkies of their predecessors. Some also affiliate with white ethnic cultures that developed outside of Europe, like the Neo-Confederates and Boer-Afrikaner Nationalists. Advocates of racial separatism say that separatism differs from racial supremacy in that separatists believe that all races and ethnic groups have the right to develop their own culture separately and any race should not dominate another. They argue that racial differences are "important" and they strongly oppose miscegenation.
	
Randy Weaver claimed to be a white separatist rather than a white supremacist.
	
In reality, the only difference is one of semantics, and the views held are similar whether they call themselves white separatists, nationalists, or supremacists. At the end of the day, "white separatism" is a code phrase used by people whose views are indistinguishable from white nationalism or white supremacy, but who want to distance themselves from the latter terms and their deservedly negative connotations. It fools no one.
==Notable groups and people==
*Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, advocates for an Afrikaner Volkstaat.
*Northwest Front/Harold Covington and Aryan Nations, Both Covington/NF and Aryan Nations advocate for "The Northwest American Republic" to be located in the Pacific Northwest. The project is referred to as "The Northwest Territorial Imperative" and "The Butler Plan"
*League of the South, advocates for the resurrection of the Confederacy as an ethnostate for "Anglo-Celtic" Southerners.
*Occidental Dissent, similar to LOS Occidental Dissent seeks to create a "Jew-free white ethnostate in North America" (specifically The South) that would reestablish "white supremacy" throughout the region and discriminate against blacks. Unlike LOS, OD's idea of a Southern ethnostate would be a variation of the Confederacy idea called "Gulf Coast Republic" (7 of the original Confederate states) or "Republic of Dixie" (if all 11 Confederate states joined together)
*Pioneer Little Europe, wants to build small whites only settlements
*Tom Metzger, advocate
*Traditionalist Workers Party/Matthew Heimbach, wants to create a National Socialist ethnostate known as "Aryon" "Avalon"
*Billy Roper, ShieldWall, Project New America, Ozarkia, and Franklin all are Roper's various plans to dream up a white ethnostate.
*Scott Adams, author of long-running office humor comic strip "Dilbert", apparently believes in White Separatism.CNN; Hundreds of newspapers drop ‘Dilbert’ comic strip after racist tirade from creator Scott Adams

Who Built the Moon?

Who Built the Moon? () is a 2005 book by Christopher Knight and Alan Butler. It is a collection of incredible coincidental facts about the Moon and other astronomical and planetary proportions, which leads the authors to believe that at some point in the future humanity travelled back in time 4.6 billion years to artificially construct the Moon. This is apparently known to the freemasons.
Crank "insights" seldom come alone; the same authors also wrote books on the New World Order because there are statues in Washington, D.C.
==Arguments==
The authors propose a variety of tenuous coincidences, whose supposed improbability demonstrates that the moon could not possibly have come about by chance. The moon's size is unusual, both because it is relatively much larger than the moons of other planetsThe Strangest of Moons, WhoBuiltTheMoon.com and because it appears the same size as our sun which supposedly proves the moon is a "deliberately created scale model of the Sun".The Moon is not a Natural Planet, WhoBuiltTheMoon.com
It is generally accepted, based on geological analysis of moonrock, that the moon was generated from the same material as the Earth, and the conventional interpretation is that it was separated due to a strike, even though there are a few questions in the theory yet to be answered conclusively. But because not every detail of the giant-impact hypothesis is entirely certain, the authors suggest a far less plausible theory with far more unanswered questions: the moon was deliberately constructed by taking material from the Earth and sticking it in space.How the Moon was Made, WhoBuiltTheMoon.com Why? No idea. By whom? Um...
Their argument for the moon as a created object bizarrely mirrors the argument from design often used by creationists: there is no way our moon could just appear like this.Isn't this all Bunkum?, WhoBuiltTheMoon.com But it also draws heavily on numerology and numerical coincidence, some of which make no sense: "The Earth is 3.66 times bigger than the Moon and the Earth year (thanks to the presence of the Moon) takes 366 days"So Far So Good, WhoBuiltTheMoon.com — the length of a day has actually changed significantly, so this may be true now, but it wasn't in the past and won't be in the future.Earth’s Rotation Changes and the Length of the Day, NASA

Whole-body cryotherapy

Whole-body cryotherapy is a fabulous woo treatment to remove you of heat and money whilst still alive! Mostly!Nevada issues health guidelines for cryotherapyby Sally Ho (Saturday, November 21st 2015) KUTV (Associated Press)
From the Wouldn't-it-be-great-if-it-were-true Department comes whole-body cryotherapy (WBC), helpfully and easily confused with partial-body cryotherapy (PBC, same tube without a lid) so they can charge the same amount to fit the same size fool into a smaller box.
==How does it work?==
It doesn't.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26383887
Whilst Cryotherapy, or ice therapy, has a good body of supporting sciencey-type stuff to say 'mostly good',Cryotherapy Medscape Whole-body Cryotherapy involves placing a human wearing very little, often with some thermal protection for all extremities except their wallet, into a carbonite sheath/plastic vat marked 'gullible' and then introducing very low temperature, very low humidity air, cooled using liquid nitrogen or an air conditioner,Muscle, Skin and Core Temperature after −110°C Cold Air and 8°C Water Treatment by Joseph Thomas Costello et al. (November 6, 2012) Plos One. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0048190 and an ongoing monthly subscription fee.
So yes, WBC/PBC does get you cold, but so does an ice bath.
But what about all the wonderful claims of WBC/PBC helping with:
*Asthma
*Alzheimer’s disease
*Anxiety
*Chronic pain
*Depression
*Fibromyalgia

Why Are You Atheists So Angry?

Why Are You Atheists So Angry?: 99 Things That Piss Off the Godless () is a book by the American author and blogger Greta Christina. It was published in 2012.
The promotional text for the book reads:
The book was preceded by a lecture of the same name which Greta gave at Skepticon 4,Why Are You Atheists So Angry? Greta Christina Skepticon 4 which itself was preceded by her signature blog post "Atheists and Anger".Atheists and Anger The lecture and blog post contain most of the reasons she gives in the book. Her goal, she says, is to answer the title question which is often leveled at atheists when they react strongly to seemingly small attitudes or actions that privilege religion (such as putting up Ten Commandments monuments in public spaces) or which disadvantage atheists (such as the misconception that morality comes from religion, usually specifically the speaker's particular religion).

Why can't I own a Canadian?

Why can't I own a Canadian? is the commonly used name for a satirical letter that went on to become an Internet meme and a source of confusing results from Google Suggest — the system employed by Google to suggest search strings based on what the user has already typed in to the search box.Clive Thompson (2010 January 8). "Why can’t I own a Canadian?" And other delights from Google Suggest…. collision detection.
The letter was written as a response to Dr. Laura Schlessinger, a radio personality who at that time practiced Orthodox Judaism,This is considered more polite than describing her as being a bigoted and deluded wingnut armed with a microphone. condemning homosexuality by citing , which says "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." The letter is a rather snarky response, drawing attention to Schlessinger's cherry picking from scripture (although not mentioning , which requires "virtuous women" to be seamstresses and clothing merchants, dress in purple, and make sure everyone else in their household is dressed in red.) 
The exact origins and authorship of the letter, and whether it really was sent directly to Laura Schlessinger, are unknown. The name most frequently attached to it is James M. Kauffman, a special education scholar in Virginia who has since received a ton of funny hate mail.I, James M. Kauffman, Did Not Write the Open Letter to Dr. Laura, five-part series
==The text of the letter==
The original source for the letter is unclear, so what follows is a version retrieved from the Humanists of Utah website:

Many have used this letter and the logic behind it to mock particularly extreme members of the religious right. In 2000, it appeared in an episode of The West Wing, where President Bartlet used excerpts of it to respond to a character named Jenna Jacobs. In 2004, the letter was once again circulated against George W. Bush in order to make fun of his views of same-sex marriage.https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/letter-to-dr-laura/

Wickard v. Filburn

Wickard v. Filburn was a Supreme Court decision in 1942 that gave Congress absolute power. Prior to this decision, Congress had a limited set of enumerated powers that were listed in the Constitution, the others being retained by the states or the people. One of those enumerated powers is the power to regulate interstate commerce, i.e., trade between the states. In deciding Wickard v. Filburn, the Supreme Court said that any activity might possibly affect interstate commerce because someone, somewhere in another state might want to do that activity for you and charge you for it.
== Background ==
Roscoe Filburn was a farmer in Ohio, who grew wheat on his farm to feed his animals. During the Great Depression, Congress had passed legislation (the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938) that limited how much wheat farmers could grow in order to drive up wheat prices. Filburn was growing more wheat than that law allowed based on the acreage he owned. Filburn was ordered to destroy his crops and pay a fine, even though there were no interstate transactions involved with the growing of the wheat; even though there was no transaction at all. 
Filburn said that the Constitution did not grant Congress the power tell him how much wheat he could grow. The Supreme Court, taking a broad interpretation of the Constitution's Commerce Clause, said Congress could regulate growing food for personal use because it might affect prices in interstate commerce. The Commerce Clause says that Congress has the power:
:"To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes".
The Court concluded that had Filburn not grown the wheat, he would have had to buy it on the open market, which, in theory, would increase the demand for wheat and cause the price to go up. And since the market for wheat also includes interstate transactions, then Congress can make Filburn destroy his crops.
In other words, when a butterfly flaps its wings in Florida, it could cause a Kansas wind turbine to spin faster, thus affecting interstate electricity prices, therefore Congress can step on the Florida butterfly.
A later Supreme Court cited Wickard to justify federal involvement in the War on Drugs.

Wilderness therapy

Wilderness therapy is a form of (or at least a close cousin to) large group awareness training conducted in a wilderness setting, usually involving activities such as ropes courses, rappelling, long hikes, and camping combined with team-woobuilding and self confidence-building exercises. Some of them also teach outdoor survival skills such as tracking. Outward Bound, the best known of these, maintains a good reputation. They are sometimes attended by adults as part of a business-motivation or team-building program, but many of them are touted as therapy for at-risk youth to turn them away from drugs or gangs.
==Where the woo things are...==
While many are reputable, the combination of poor regulation of such programs and the fact that many are targeted at at-risk youth has allowed many shady, abusive teen boot camps and fly-by-night outfits operated by people without any training in teen counseling or first aid to flourish under the guise of "wilderness therapy". A 1995 article in Outside magazine by Jon Krakauer exposed this shady underside of the industry after a particularly tragic death, in which a teen's obviously serious medical condition was ignored by the untrained counselors who accused him of being a faker and complainer, while the group was led on long forced marches and fed a starvation diet. Outside Online - Loving Them To Death Sadly, not much has changed since.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Reality_101/message/31936 Coalition Against Institutionalised Child Abuse Blog Making it especially difficult for parents and youth choosing such a program is that the abusive and untrained outfits advertise as much as the reputable outfits do and it is hard to tell which is which.
The most dubious (and dangerous) of these camps are those promising "behavior modification" of troubled teens.

Wiley Drake is a California-based Southern Baptist minister and talk radio host. He was the vice-presidential candidate on the America's Independent Party (not American Independent Party) ticket in 2008 with Alan Keyes, and the second vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention in 2006-2007. Drake has drawn controversy for his use of imprecatory prayer which involved cursing Barack Obama and others. His battle to prove that President Barack Obama was not born in the USA was heard in court at a preliminary hearing in January 2010.Judge sets court date in 'birther' case filed by Wiley Drake (retrieved 29 September 2009) It was, as all other cases filed by birthers, thrown out, possibly with judicial sighing and eye-rolling at some point.

Wilk vs. AMA

Wilk vs. AMA was a US Federal Court case (895 F.2d 352) in which a chiropractor Chester A. Wilk and 4 chiropractor-colleagues sued the American Medical Association for boycotting the practice of chiropractic "medicine".
==The case==
In 1976 the 5 chiropractors filed an anti-trust lawsuit because they claimed that the AMA illegally boycotted the practice of chiropractic medicine. The reasoning behind the boycott was that the field of chiropractic "medicine" is both faith-based and pseudo-scientific, that chiropractors generally do more harm than good when it comes to health care.
==The end result==
In 1987 the Federal judge Susan Getzendanner ruled in favor of chiropractors. The judge made it clear that she was not ruling either for or against the efficacy of chiropractic treatment, since the trial evidence was primarily anecdotal. The ruling was that the AMA unfairly competed against chiropractors because it prevented its members from recommending chiropractic services.895 F. 2d 352 — Wilk Dc Dc Dc Dc v. American Medical Association a Wilk Dc W Dc B Dc B Dc The ruling was upheld by a Federal appeals court. It was appealed to the US Supreme Court 3 times; each time the Supreme Court rejected the appeal.
If the AMA had presented better scientific evidence that chiropractors harmed patients, they might have had a favorable outcome from the trial. As the judge observed the evidence, the AMA seemed to be more interested in financial aspects rather than patient well-being. Since the time of the trial, some peer-reviewed scientific publications have become available that do show potential dangers (e.g. stroke) from chiropractic treatments (see the main article on chiropractic).

William Blum

William Blum was an American author, journalist, a one-time State Department employee, and a staunch critic of American foreign policy. His basic argument was that just about every American foreign intervention, whether justified in terms of "fighting communism" or "bringing freedom and democracy ", was just another imperalist maneuver.
Blum left the State Department in 1967, abandoning his aspiration of becoming a Foreign Service Officer, because of his opposition to what the United States was doing in Vietnam.
He then became one of the founders and editors of the Washington Free Press, the first “alternative” newspaper in the capital.About William Blum William Blum.
Blum took great care to properly reference most of his arguments, often drawing on "papers of record" such as The New York Times, Washington Post and The Guardian. When available, he would also cite official documents and reports.
On a tape released in January 2006, Osama Bin Laden said that "it would be useful" for Americans to read Rogue State, a book by Blum. Blum was both shocked by and pleased with the questionable endorsement.The Author Who Got A Big Boost From bin Laden by David Montgomery (January 21, 2006) The Washington Post.

William Brevard Hand

William Brevard Hand was a United States federal judge in on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama. Hand was nominated by President Richard Nixon on 1971, to a seat vacated by Daniel H. Thomas.
Brevard Hand gained national attention when he issued a ruling that described secular humanism as a religion. The case involved a lawsuit against the Alabama school board claiming that history and social studies texts promoted secular humanism, and as such were in violation of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. Hand's ruling removed 44 texts from classes across the state for a number of weeks until the case was overturned without comment by the Court of Appeals.ABOUT EDUCATION; A MATTER OF CENSORSHIP, New York Times, 10 March 1987Federal Court Finds Secular Humanism a Religion, Education Week, 11 March 1987 It appears that the case was brought in Hand's district after a school prayer case in Alabama in 1982.
