Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging

The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB, in English, "A Wanker Brotherhood" "Afrikaner Resistance Movement") is a far right, neo-Nazi, White supremacist, White nationalist organization based in South Africa founded by Eugene Terre'Blanche (1941-2010), which fought to uphold apartheid, and failing that, its own Volkstaat, located in the then Western Transvaal. The movement seeks the creation of a White Afrikaner-only state in South Africa. It has similarities with the militia movement. Its leader's straight-armed salutes, the black-clad Ysterkommando (Iron GuardA rather strange choice of name, as the original Iron Guard was Corneliu Zelea Codreanu's Romanian fascist outfit. However the term Kommando does at least have a distinctively Afrikaner heritage as the name for of the Boer militia from where it entered English as for special forces. Not to be confused with the Nazi Sonderkommandos.) and logo, comprising three 7s, makes one think of another party.

Agaricus

Agaricus is a genus of mushroom and includes the most commonly consumed mushroom — the button mushroom (A. bisporus). It is native throughout the world.
==Cancer and health woo==
Various websitesNatural Newseven Huff Po gets into the woo game, books, and alternative medicine proponents tout the health benefits of mushrooms in general. There are a significant number of studies that look at mushroom extracts and their effect on cancer, and currently no evidence exists that even suggests such curative properties.http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-help/about-cancer/cancer-questions/mushrooms-in-cancer-treatment
High doses of A. bisporus powder were found to be carcinogenic in rats.Carcinogenicity examination of Agaricus bisporus, edible mushroom, in rats by K. Matsumoto et al., Cancer Lett. 1991 Jun 14;58(1-2):87-90.

Agave nectar

Agave nectar (or agave syrup) is a sweetener made from plants in the genus Agave. Other uses of the agave plant include the production of tequila, which is fermented from the blue agave's sugary juices.
There are four camps related to the sweetener: The marketers who promote it as a "natural alternative" to sugar; the CAM users who hate it for being "unnatural" and processed; the people who know it's just sugar!; and those who know it's mostly sugar and way too expensive, but has a distinct flavor to it that makes it different from sugar in some culinary applications.
==Criticism==
Agave nectar is marketed as being somehow better and more natural than white sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, even though it actually contains more fructose than HFCS (agave nectar can contain anywhere from 55% to 90% fructose, while high-fructose corn syrup usually contains 42% to 55% fructose).The Truth About Agave, WebMD.Not Enough Evidence to Indict High Fructose Corn Syrup in Obesity, University of Maryland.It's been called "High-Fructose Cactus Syrup" by its opponents. This can cause extreme distress in people with fructose malabsorption or similar conditions, with the side effect of being not as easily identifiable on a list of ingredients (the fructose content of agave nectar is not as obvious as a label listing "high-fructose corn syrup") or when encountered in prepared food as a "healthy" substitute.
SomeIs Agave Nectar Safe? Global Healing Center.Why I NEVER Use Agave, Real Food Forager. (including Joseph Mercola) Agave: A Triumph of Marketing over Truth, Joseph Mercola, July 02, 2009. criticize it for not being natural (as though that actually mattered), and for having too much fructose (which is more reasonable). (Agave is indeed highly processed.)Agave, WebMD. The Weston A. Price Foundation condemns agave on the grounds that it contains saponins, which possibly cause miscarriage;Agave Nectar: Worse Than We Thought, Sally Fallon Morell and Rami Nagel, The Weston A. Price Foundation. however, other plants that contain saponins include chickpeas, alfalfa sprouts, oats, beans, red onions, and potatoes.Is Agave Worse Than High Fructose Corn Syrup?, HowStuffWorks.
==The rational perspective==
It's just sugar. Besides being quite high in fructose, and having 50% more calories per tablespoon than table sugar, it is nutritionally essentially no better or worse than any other kind of added sugar. Like honey or molasses, it has a richer taste profile, so it is a nice addition to teas, cereals, or anywhere you are looking for something more than just "sweet." Because no bugs are harmed in its production (tequila weevils, Scyphophorus acupunctatus, are probably killed) bees are not enslaved during production, it also makes a good vegan honey substitute.Never mind the agave-pollinating bats who starve because the plants end up as syrup before they can bloom. The bees are the only pollinators people care about. (Then again, so does high-fructose corn syrup, but for some reason the vegan community doesn't seem too fond of that.)

Agent provocateur

An agent provocateur, or simply a provocateur, is a person who secretly infiltrates a group with the objective of weakening it from within.
As such, they will, in reality, be representatives of another group opposed to the interests of their apparent allies. Their objective may be to create unrest, disunity, or ill-will within the group while professing to hold the group's ideals to heart.
Alternatively, an agent provocateur may encourage the group to carry out crimes or other nefarious activities while secretly reporting their activities to their real masters (this would generally be a form of It has often been said that the most outrageous advocate of crime and violence within an organization is likely to be an agent provocateur. 
Many New Left groups from the 60s claim that they were brought down by FBI moles that acted as agents provocateurs. With the release of documents with regards to the FBI's these claims have a leg to stand on. Some have sarcastically (?) claimed that unusually inarticulate or extreme conservatives, such as George W Bush are, in fact, liberal agents trying to discredit conservative values; see 'deep cover liberal'. 
Conspiracy theorists will often decry others within their ranks who espouse a different variation on their pet theory as agents provocateurs. In the 9/11 "Truth" movement, for example, so-called "no planers" are often considered to be plants.
One particular Agent Provocateur also makes really hot lingerie.

Aimee Semple McPherson

Aimee Semple McPherson (b. Aimee Elizabeth Kennedy, October 9, 1890 in Ontario, Canada - d. September 27, 1944) was a Pentecostal evangelist and the founder of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, today better known as the Foursquare Church.
In 1908 at age 17 she had a born again experience while attending a revival meeting led by Pentecostal evangelist Robert Semple. She soon fell in love and married him, but Robert Semple died in 1910 just after the two had arrived in China to be missionaries. Aimee returned to North America and soon remarried, and began preaching in tent revivals across the United States in which her faith healing practices, preaching with a megaphone out of the back of her car, and gimmicks such as boxing events (under the slogan "Knock Out the Devil") earned her a reputation as one of the prototypical Pentecostal evangelists, considered charlatans by much of the public. She was also one of the first radio evangelists, buying her own radio station in Los Angeles in 1924.
Ironically given her association with conservative evangelical Christianity and revivalism, she had some progressive elements. Besides the obvious -- being a woman evangelist at a time when that was considered unacceptable and even scandalous in some quarters -- she was also associated with the women's suffrage movement. But on the whole she was a forerunner of today's televangelism and religious right. She campaigned for prohibition and against the teaching of evolution, working together with William Jennings Bryan during and after the Scopes trial and holding large parades in Los Angeles and all night prayer meetings to support the creationist side in the trial. Later during World War II she would use her pulpit to hold rallies promoting the buying of war bonds.
==Mysterious disappearance==
She ultimately became best known for disappearing from public view on May 18, 1926 after supposedly going to swim with her secretary that morning. The media frenzy which followed had speculation she had either drowned or run off to have an affair with Kenneth Ormiston, the engineer for her radio station who had also disappeared at the same time. She turned up in Mexico a month later claiming to have been kidnapped and held for ransom. Her own version of the story not adding up, the city of Los Angeles attempted to prosecute her for obstruction of justice but eventually dropped the charges. The rumors and guesses continued to fly - she was having an adulterous affair, she had staged the whole thing as an elaborate publicity stunt, she had disappeared to have an abortion or plastic surgery - but the matter of what actually happened was never resolved. Who knows - maybe she was just "hiking the Appalachian Trail".

Airborne

Airborne is a dietary supplement marketed in checkout lines everywhere with the totally unfounded claim that it wards off harmful bacteria and germs, and helps prevent the flu and colds. The "miracle" formula was created by Victoria Knight-McDowell, an elementary school teacher, and is said to contain a proprietary herbal blend including echinacea, a proprietary amino acid blend, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, large amounts of Vitamin C, and other ingredients. It can be purchased in a variety of different forms, including lozenges, gummies, and an effervescent tablet.
==Claims==
Amazingly, these 'studies' referenced are nowhere to be found on the Airborne website. In fact, the only clinical trial actually conducted on the product can no longer be found on the internet at all, after 'Good Morning America' exposed the company behind it as a two-man operation without a clinic, scientists, or doctors."ABC News", 7 February 2006
As for the ingredients themselves?
Vitamin C: No effect on incidence of colds, except for those under short periods of extreme physical stress. Regular supplementation may decrease duration, but taking Vitamin C at the onset of a cold has no effect."Vitamin C for preventing and treating the common cold"
Zinc: 'Given the variability in the dose, formulation and duration of zinc use in the included studies, more research is needed to address these before zinc use can be generally recommended for the common cold.'"Cochrane Summaries: Zinc for the common cold"
Echinacea: 'Illness duration and severity were not statistically significant with echinacea compared with placebo.'"Echinacea for treating the common cold"
For added effect, the Quack Miranda Warning can be found at the bottom of every webpage.
==Lawsuit==
In 2008, Airborne Health Inc. agreed to pay $23.3 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought against the company because there is no evidence that the supplement wards off harmful bacteria and germs."Airborne settles lawsuit for $23.3 million." CNN Money. 4 March 2008. Customers were told that they could be refunded for any Airborne they ever bought.

Aircraft

An aircraft is any machine supported for flight in the air by buoyancy or by the dynamic action of air on its surfaces, especially powered airplanes, gliders, and helicopters.http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/aircraft Aircraft range in size and can be both lighter or heavier than the medium they move through. These machines have evolved rapidly since their inception, from the 1903 Wright Flyer to the latest Boeings and Airbuses that zip between continents.http://www.globalaircraft.org/history_of_aviation.htm

File:Boeing-777-200lr2.jpg|…to a 10,000-mi (16,000-km) one.
==Conspiracies involving aircraft==
Given that modern aircraft are usually very sturdy and quite safe, there is usually an uproar of some sort when one "decides" to disappear, such as Despite the fact that such phenomena are often attributed to pilot error,http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/1997/news.release.970220.html to design oversights, to ground-operations screw-ups, to inclement weather, and/or to freaky coincidences, some conspiracists claim that the US government (itself an obscure conspiracy based in North America) shoots down such flights for some nefarious, nebulous reason (which, needless to say, tends to vary based on which crank you're asking) and/or that the people that actually do these investigations, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), purposefully cover things up so that we innocents don't know the truth.http://www.defraudingamerica.com/ntsb_index.html 
One of the most popular conspiracy theories involving aircraft right now involves chemtrails: the perpetrators allegedly spray population-control/mind-control/geo-engineering chemicals all over the world under the guise of air travel and freight operations.http://educate-yourself.org/ct/ Though other theories involve more direct things such as KAL Flight 007, TWA Flight 800 and United Airlines Flight 93 and 175, and American Airlines Flights 11 and 77.
A particularly odd conspiracy theory is that aircraft are actually "sky demons", a rather obscure bit of religiously-inspired woo.For a dissection of this level of fractal wrongness which gives the topic exactly the level of seriousness it merits (i.e. none), see World of Batshit - #1: Sky Demons.

Akashic Records

The Akashic Records are a supposed compendium of all knowledge, existing in the non-physical plane. Trying to make fun of them by calling them a "mystical space library" doesn't really work — that's basically how they're viewed. They purportedly contain the knowledge of the entire human existence and the history of the universe, tracking each soul as it journeys through life. For just $113.00, you too can learn how to open your record with a Sacred Prayer.Journey 2 the Heart: Store They're big on vibrations and quantum woo.
==History==
The Akashic records were first mentioned in ancient Hindu philosophy but were only popularised in the 19th century by occult writers such as those found in Anthroposophy and Theosophy. Alice Bailey, Charles Leadbeater and Rudolf Steiner all claimed to have read the Akashic records. However, their reports on the matter are contradictory.Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke The Western Esoteric Traditions Oxford University Press, 2008 ISBN 0195320999
==Science==
There is no scientific evidence that the Akashic Records exist. The only physicist to write a book on the topic is John Davidson, author of The Secret of the Creative Vacuum: Man and the Energy Dance (1989), in which he claimed mind, matter, energy and consciousness are intertwined and that a 'vacuum' of 'empty' space is actually a real energy field which contains all knowledge and thoughts.Mysticism of Space by John Davidson However, his book was pseudoscience. Davidson is also written other books within other areas of pseudoscience, including creationism (Natural Creation and the Formative Mind and Subtle Energy).

Aktion T4

Aktion T4 was a program in Nazi Germany from 1939-1945 to kill people deemed unsuited to live, such as those with physical and mental disabilities, severe illnesses, and those rendered incapable through old age. The program was presented as euthanasia, but as the killing was mandatory, with more concern to economy than to dignity and relief of pain, the description as euthanasia is misleading. Nazi officials assigned people to be killed based on their economic use to the state; in other words, they killed those who they called "burdensome lives" and "useless eaters" (German: Unnütze Esser).T4 Program BritannicaMass Violence in Nazi-Occupied Europe, edited by Alex J. Kay & David Stahel (2018) Indiana University Press. . Murders were initially committed via lethal injections and deliberate starvation, but the Nazis eventually settled on poison gas as their method of choice.
The program was disguised as a medical treatment plan, and the SS overseers wore white coats to keep up appearances. The families would be notified that their relatives were being transported to treatment centers; they would later receive condolence letters, falsified death certificates, and an urn with their loved one's ashes. 
Aktion T4 used the word Sonderbehandlung ("special treatment") as a euphemism for killing. The same word was used during the Holocaust. This complicates Holocaust deniers' claims that Sonderbehandlung meant something else.
==Opposition by church figures==
The Catholic church in particular likes to point out that it was opposed to the killings at the time (which however calls into question the "nobody knew anything" line of defense as to why nobody did anything about the Nazi crimes) and there were indeed some bishops, parish priests and others that spoke out against the killings. This opposition did in fact even result in the Nazis dialing down the killing for a time, which just goes to prove that not only was resistance possible, it would not have been futile.
The fact that the Catholic Church spoke out on behalf of disabled people but remained almost universally silent when it came to Jews should tell you all you need to know about contemporary Catholic antisemitism.

The Al-Muntada Trust is an international charitable organisation, initially founded in the United Kingdom, which aims to provide food, education and community outreach in impoverished countries.What We Do, Al-Muntada Trust.
Although the organisation has done good work in these areas, it has also been heavily criticised for its links to militant Islamist organisations and support for Islamic fundamentalism, as described in a 2005 report from The Center for Security Policy:
