Thomas Henry Moray

Thomas Henry Moray (August 28, 1892 - May 1974) was a free energy crank from Salt Lake City, Utah, active in the 1930s. He developed the Moray Valve, a device for extracting "radiant energy" from the "energy waves of the universe," which he thought to be an inexhaustible environmental energy source.
Moray graduated from LDS Business College and studied electrical engineering by correspondence.
In the 1930s, Moray reported that he and his family had been threatened and shot at on several occasions and his lab ransacked to stop his free energy research and public demonstrations.Infinite Battery From Tom Bearden's Website (EXCERPTED FROM TOM BEARDEN'S "EXCALIBUR BRIEFING"),http://www.cheniere.org/books/excalibur/moray.htm Ray Reece's 1975 book The Sun Betrayed claimed solar energy production was being suppressed by the US governmental bureau allocated to help its development., page 14-15
Thomas E. Bearden, advocate of scalar waves, is a huge fan of Moray.
==Inventions==
Moray demonstrated the Moray Valve in the 1920s. It consisted of a large antenna connected to a complex series of high voltage capacitors, transformers, and semiconductors. He applied for a patent, but it was refused as a perpetual motion machine. Apparently it was destroyed by a hammer-wielding observer in 1939.
His fans claim he invented the transistor before Bell Labs, but refused to sell his technology to corporate interests, fearing its misuse.
A patent was filed on the Moray Radiant Energy device on 13 July 1931. It consisted of a mixture of zinc (a semiconductor) and a pellet of radioactive material inside a tube. It was claimed to produce up to 50,000 watts for sustained periods of time.

Thomas Hobbes

Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher, physicist, mathematician, and historian.Thomas Hobbes. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 2009 March 11.
As a philosopher Hobbes contemplated the nature of reasoning, sensation, imagination, and signification. He is considered to have been an empiricist, a nominalist, and a materialist, the latter particularly contrasting his philosophy with that of Aristotle. Hobbes agreed with Aristotle, however, that reliable knowledge was gained through reason and an understanding of the relationship of cause and effect.
Hobbes taught that human beings are naturally selfish, brutish and violent and absolute government was necessary to prevent a "war of all against all". Well, he should speak for himself.
His principal work, The Leviathan (1651), which he wrote in English (and with liberal use of massive run-on sentences), advocated absolute government, either monarchy or assembly, as the best political system and believed a social contract was formed or should be formed to create that system. On a somewhat lighter note, these ideas were foundational traits of Hobbes in Calvin and Hobbes. He may or may not have been the product of Calvin's imagination.
In addition to the social contract theory, Leviathan famously introduced the concept of a "Human nature", to describe human existence before the invention of government: Hobbes guessed that this life was "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short", "a war of all against all". Future enlightenment philosophers such as Locke and Rousseau took this as given, citing Hobbes. Anthropological work since has shown this to not be the case: pre-civilization human life was socially organized and cooperative.Social organization
The Leviathan has a telling definition of religion:
:“Fear of power invisible, feigned by the mind, or imagined from tales publicly allowed, [is] religion [...]."

Thomas More Law Center

The Thomas More Law Center, named after the Roman Catholic patron saint of lawyers and founded by Domino's pizza tycoon Tom Monaghan, is a conservative Christian legal advocacy organization based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. One of its more prominent cases was its defense of the Dover PA School Board in the Kitzmiller case. 
In 2011, the Center sued Barack Hussein Obama in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan over the constitutionality of Obamacare and lost. They appealed the decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which upheld the lower court's ruling.Thomas More Law Center, et al. v. Barack Hussein Obama (PDF) In 2001, the Center sued the San Diego chapter of Planned Parenthood to force it to inform women of a possible link between abortions and breast cancer. Clearly fitting the snowball clause, the case was dismissed, with the center ordered to pay legal fees.

Thomas Nagel

Thomas Nagel is an American philosopher.
==Overview==
Nagel received a BA in philosophy from Cornell University in 1958, a BPhil from the University of Oxford in 1960, and a PhD from Harvard University in 1963. 
===Philosophy of mind===
Nagel is most well known for his interest and publications in philosophy of mind. He is a critic of reductionist accounts of the mind and he also opposes dualism and materialism. His best-known paper is "What is it Like to be a Bat?" which argues for an anti-reductionist theory of mind.Thomas Nagel. What is it like to be a bat? The Philosophical Review LXXXIII, 4 (October 1974): 435-50. He is also known for reviving interest in panpsychism, although he never fully endorsed the position.Nagel, Thomas (1979). Panpsychism. In Thomas Nagel (ed.), Mortal Questions. Cambridge University Press.
===Ethics and political philosophy===
Nagel has written on ethical issues concerning a wide variety of topics, including death, war, luck, and sex.Thomas Nagel. (1979) Mortal Questions He associates subjectivity with deontological ethics and objectivity with consequentialism, asserting that neither is more fundamental than the other.Thomas Nagel. The Limits of Objectivity. The Tanner Lecture on Human Values, Brasenose College, Oxford University May 4, 11, and 18, 1979 In political philosophy, he is known as a defender of John Rawls' theory of justice.The Case for Liberalism: An Exchange, Michael J. Sandel, New York Review of Books
==Intelligent design==
In 2009, Thomas Nagel recommended Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell as one of his "Best Books of the Year" in The Times Literary Supplement.Thomas Nagel and Stephen C. Meyer’s Signature in the CellThomas Nagel Jumps the Shark, Leiter Reports He is also the author of the book Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False which was released in September, 2012.Mind and Cosmos by Thomas Nagel His creationist fanbase is large enough for the New York Times to note.https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/07/books/thomas-nagel-is-praised-by-creationists.html However, Thomas Nagel is an atheist himself and never explicitly supported creationism.

Threat

In persuasion, a threat is an attack on "deep needs" that forces the persuadee to act quickly.http://changingminds.org/principles/threat.htm As a technique, it is based on the ability to control another. 
"Threats do not change minds, but they are often very effective at changing how people act, at least in the short term.... The problems with threats is that [they] can cause a tremendous backlash in terms of the anger and other negative emotions that are aroused. Where a trust is betrayed, such as when a confidence is used against a person, their anger and hate can be very significant... You can use threats to cause short-term behavioral change, but be very aware that it can have a significant negative effect, including a long-term need for vengeance and subtle acts of revenge."
The effectiveness, however temporary, of a threat is also dependent on the threatened person's belief in the ability of the threatener to carry out their threat. A mother saying to her child "I'll kill you if you do that once more!" is not likely to be believed and hence the threat is empty. Equally, "I'll report you to the FBI if you ..." is likely to be perceived as an empty threat when perpetrated by Wiki proprietors.
In game theory, it is assumed that carrying out the threat makes both parties worse off than allowing the threatened party to do what they want. Therefore, most threats are not believable unless specific action is taken to make the threatening party even worse off if they do not go through with it. This is either done by publicly "tying one's hands" or putting resources down to defend with the threat. Alternatively, cultivating a reputation of being an unhinged psychopath also works.

Thurgood Marshall

Thurgood Marshall (1908—1993) was a lawyer for the NAACP and later the first African-American United States Supreme Court Justice. He is most remembered for having filed and won Brown v. Board of Education. 
Justice Marshall was a reliably liberal voice on the Supreme Court. During the administration of George H. W. Bush he took ill and resigned. Not wanting to seem racist, Bush appointed Clarence Thomas to the position, despite being the polar opposite of Marshall. While Marshall was surely waiting for a Democratic president before he resigned, congestive heart failure made it irresponsible to continue. Marshall passed away four days after Clinton's inauguration.

Tides Center

The Tides Center is a liberal advocacy organization in the US, founded by Drummond Pike in 1976. 
Contrary to what some crackpots assert,"Money Laundering For Democrats: Enter George Soros’s ‘The Tides Foundation’." YourDaddy's Politics. 2010 October 21. the organization is in no way connected to George Soros.Tides Foundation and Tides Center. DiscoverTheNetworks.org. However, this apparently escaped Byron Williams, who was arrested in 2010 for an attempted terrorist attack on the California Tides Foundation and ACLU offices. "Highway Shooter Targeted Tides Foundation." KTVU. 2010 July 21. He cited Glenn Beck as his inspiration, and claimed that he thought the Tides Center was owned by George Soros (who was plotting a Commie Revolution or something, we're guessing).
It seems that the Tides Foundation came to Beck's attention thanks to a 2007 viral video called , which was also published in book form in 2009. The video and book explain how the United States:
* has about five percent of the world's population, but uses about 25 percent of its resources;
* exploits the people and natural resources of other nations to maintain this level of consumption; and
* will not lower its level of consumption until it becomes unprofitable to do otherwise.

Tiktaalik

thumb|right|250px|A mold of the famous Tiktaalik fossil.
Tiktaalik is an extinct genus of lobe-finned fish which lived around 375 million years ago.Fossil fish bridges the evolutionary gap between animals of land and sea. October 16, 2008 
Unlike modern fish, Tiktaalik had a neck, both gills and lungs, bones in its fins that resemble the bones in the upper arm, forearm and wrist of land vertebrates, and ribs that could support its body weight on dry land.Why is Tiktaalik called the "fishapod"?The Real Darwin Fish, why creationists hate Tiktaalik. Given its "neither-fish-nor-fowl" attributes, many scientists see Tiktaalik as a transitional form in the evolution of tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates, i.e. amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). Scientists call it "the most compelling examples yet of an animal that was at the cusp of the fish-tetrapod transition".John Noble Wilford. Scientists Call Fish Fossil the 'Missing Link'.
==Na na na na na na, we can't hear you==
Creationists claim that 397-million-year-old (compare to Tiktaalik's age of 375 million years) fossilized footprints found in Poland show that Tiktaalik could not reveal a transition between water and land animals.http://creation.com/polish-tetrapod-footprints-trample-tiktaalik However, this argument is based on misunderstanding evolution as a linear progression. Augustine of Hippo's Great Chain of Being is fictional. There is no real reason why a primitive (i.e., resembling the ancestral) morphology could not survive to recent times (hey, coelacanth, how's it going?)
Plausible explanations for the 397 Ma fossils include:
* The fossils just aren't tetrapod footprints, but something else.
* The vertebrates made at least two transitions to land, not just one. The members of the transition represented by the Polish tracks all died, but Tiktaalik's descendants are modern tetrapods. 
* Tiktaalik and kin have an as yet unknown fossil record which will put their common ancestor with tetrapods between that of tetrapods and lungfish.

Tim Eyman

Tim Eyman is a conservative (or libertarianHard to tell which. Most of his initiatives involve tax or spending cutting, but he sponsored one conservative-but-not-libertarian initiative to remove sexual orientation from the protected classes under state law, and one libertarian-but-not-conservative initiative to legalize scratch ticket gambling.) U.S. political activist from Washington State who is mostly crazy. He ran for governor in the but lost the primary.
==Initiatives==
He has put initiatives out from 1998-2010 - 17 initiatives to be exact, and 1 referendum concerning small government, lower taxes, the usual. Oh, and he once showed up in the state capital dressed as Darth Vader. At times, he has good ideas such as cutting Washington's formerly onerous license plate renewal fee to a flat $30. Other times, he's been considered the most divisive political figure in the state and demonized for using the ballot initiative process as a way of repeatedly proposing legislation without himself having to stand for election. He pointedly refuses to run for public office, despite being one of the state's most effective de facto legislators.

Tim Pawlenty

Timothy James "T. Paw" Pawlenty is the longest running Vice Presidential candidate in history the slash-and-burn former Republican Governor of the unfortunate people of Minnesota, who succeeded Jesse "The Body" Ventura in 2003 and stepped down in 2011, being succeeded by Democrat Mark Dayton.
==Policies, ambitions and beliefs==
He is most well known for his...well, the magnetic dullness and lack of excitement around him.
The guy is very boring, but on a secondary note his venomous support of Reaganomics and support of cutting all government spending that helps the poor is "wasteful." In aid of this, he foolishly stuck to a pledge he made when campaigning that there would be "no new taxes"; however, his adherence turned out to be to the letter rather than the spirit as he subsequently introduced new fees on cigarettes, etc. Big difference. Also, during his tenure, property taxes across the state have skyrocketed as cities must now fill the void left by the lack of state funding.
He also has delusions of grandeur; specifically, he hopes that he will at some point be elected to some important federal office, such as President or Vice President. He was awfully disappointed in 2008 when John McCain passed him over in favor of Caribou Barbie. One of the first contenders to declare his candidacy, he was gunning for the top spot on the 2012 ticket but became the first to drop out on August 14, 2011 after coming in third in the Iowa straw poll, losing to Michele Bachmann. No word yet on whether T. Paw plans to reinvent himself as a rapper and go on tour with P. Diddy.
One good thing about Pawlenty that should be noted, however, is that he is more environmentally friendly than your run-of-the-mill Republican, and has even acknowledged that global warming does, indeed, exist and is a real threat in the near future. He then abandoned this position, lest that brief flirt with sanity ruin his chances in the 2012 primaries.Pawlenty completes global warming flip-flop, ThinkProgress He also makes Minnesotans realize just how much of a "gem" Jesse Ventura was. 
After withdrawing from the Republican presidential primaries, Pawlenty endorsed Mittens.Pawlenty Endorses Romney for President, Cites 'Unmatched' Business Experience, Fox Noise News He was in the running, so-to-speak, to be Romney's vice presidential candidate, but was left out for the second straight election when Paul Ryan was picked instead.USA Today: Pawlenty 'not disappointed' Romney didn't choose him, USA Today Poor Tim just can't make the cut, even though Ryan was a poor VP pick. Pawlenty has since resigned from Romney's campaign to take up a post in lobbying.Romney Congratulates Pawlenty On Joining Financial Services Roundtable, TPM
