Ken Jopp

{{crenav|1}}
'''Ken Jopp''' is an American [[intelligent design]] advocate known for his "star larvae hypothesis".

==Star larvae hypothesis==
Jopp [[PIDOOMA|has invented]] a very eccentric model which he claims replaces both [[creationism]] and [[neo-Darwinism]]. He calls this idea the "star larvae hypothesis", however it is actually a mishmash of [[scientific]], [[pseudoscientific]] and [[religious]] ideas such as [[panspermia]], [[Gaia hypothesis]], [[Hinduism]], [[conspiracy theories]], [[paranormal]] topics and [[metaphysics]] all merged together with standard [[creationist]] arguments such as rejecting "[[macroevolution]]" and denying the evidence for [[evolution]] in the [[fossil record]]. Jopp also rejects [[abiogenesis]] and advocates a version of directed panspermia. He proposes a [[teleological]] model of nature, in which stellar nebulae manufacture [[bacteria]] and [[viruses]] in their interiors as they cool. He claims that life on [[Earth]] is driven by a stellar life cycle. His [[hypothesis]] is a form of creationism and Jopp denies any evidence for evolution.<ref>[http://www.starlarvae.org/About_Contact.html Star Larvae Hypothesis]</ref>

Jopp is known for [[quote mining]] scientists. He often lies about what [[Fred Hoyle]] and James Lovelock actually wrote, and is also known for [[trolling]] science forums and telling people that his hypothesis has refuted "[[Darwinism]]". He has been banned on many forums for promoting [[pseudoscience]], and some believe his hypothesis may be a creationist joke; however Jopp advocates a conspiracy theory and has said his hypothesis is not a joke but is ignored by the scientific community because it contradicts Darwinism.<ref>[http://www.brainsturbator.com/forums/viewthread/364/ Star Larvae—Post-Leary biological theory, some dope-ass brainfood]</ref><ref>[http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message594359/pg1 Human Beings Are Star Larvae!]</ref><ref>[http://www.thescienceforum.com/pseudoscience/28052-how-do-phenotypes-get-how-they-get-natural-selection-biologys-phlogiston.html Posts on a Science Forum]</ref>

==Religion==
Jopp is known for using Christian creationist arguments and he also attacks [[atheism]] and defends religion. It is clear that Jopp is a [[theist]] who rejects evidence for evolution based on his religious views.<ref>[http://starlarvae.blogspot.co.uk/ Star Larvae]</ref>

Kennewick Man

[[File:Kennewick Man.jpg|right|thumb|165px|Cheerful looking chappy, ain't he?]]{{Historynav}}
'''Kennewick Man''' was the title given to the remains of a prehistoric man found in Kennewick, [[Washington]] in July 1996.  The finding caused a dispute between the [[Native American]] tribes of the Northwest, who claimed immediate burial rights under the [[Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act]], and scientists who wanted to study the remains.  Based on initial reports that the remains possibly had Caucasian features, the finding of Kennewick Man also started a round of [[pseudoarcheology|pseudoarcheological]] speculation.  [[Mormon]] apologists believed Kennewick Man could be one of the "Lamanites" or "Jaredites" (ancient inhabitants of the Americas referred to in the [[Book of Mormon]]), and a [[neopagan]] [[Asatru]] sect believed he could be an ancient [[Vikings|Viking]] explorer having come to the Americas — both groups attempting to use the finding to back up their pre-existing religious beliefs.  Pseudoscientific and religious speculation aside, the finding of Kennewick Man has contributed to a scientific debate which continues about the origin and diversity of native American peoples.

==Ethnicity==
Kennewick Man's initial ethnic affiliation was identified by [[Anthropology|anthropologists]] as being more closely related to the Polynesians or the Ainu of [[Japan]] rather than today's Native Americans. This led to a prolonged court battle and controversy over whom his remains ultimately belonged to, with Kennewick Man being cited as evidence that Native Americans weren't the first settlers in America. However, recent [[Genetics|genetic]] testing places Kennewick Man's ancestry with that of Native Americans rather than that of Polynesians.<ref>[https://www.nbcrightnow.com/check-it-out/unexpected-dna-link-a-kennewick-man-shares-paternal-lineage-with/article_0d1dd9d8-192e-11e9-a8d2-fb6538151077.html A Kennewick Man share unexpected paternal lineage with Kennewick Man] NBC News</ref> This led to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act being invoked. As a result, his remains were returned to the native tribes still found in the area today,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://keprtv.com/news/local/kennewick-man-finally-buried-by-local-tribes|title=Kennewick Man finally buried by local tribes|first=Kristi|last=Paulus|date=|website=keprtv.com|accessdate=March 29, 2018}}</ref> who also were most closely genetically affiliated with the [[DNA]] found in his remains.<ref>[https://seattle.cbslocal.com/2015/06/19/ancient-skeleton-native-americans/ "Ancient DNA of Kennewick Man shows close relationship to Colville tribes"]</ref>

'''Kent Holtorf, M.D.''' {{lived|1964}} is a proponent of [[Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy|bioidentical hormones]], a "chronic infection diseases" expert, and an anti-aging practitioner.  According to his webpage biography, he received his M.D. from St. Louis University, trained as a resident at UCLA, and is a diplomate and board examiner for the American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine, which is not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.<ref>http://www.holtorfmed.com/doctors/kent-holtorf-md</ref> He claims expert knowledge in endocrinology and infectious disease,<ref>Oddly, he only makes claims about chronic infectious disease. Acute infectious disease must not be his thing.</ref> but his specialty board membership is in a [[woo]]-tastic, non-recognized area of medicine. This, of course, did not stop [[Fox News]] from inviting him on to spew a bunch of vapid [[bullshit]] about the [[H1N1]] vaccine, saying "I have more concern about the vaccine than I do about the swine flu" and then going on to bring up tired arguments such as the vaccine being "rushed to market" (it was not).<ref>http://www.stinkyjournalism.org/editordetail.php?id=461</ref>

No, he doesn't take insurance, and he doesn't work cheap.<ref>http://www.holtorfmed.com/faqs#faq3</ref> Still, he really, really cares about his patients'

{{politics}}
'''Keum Tae-sup''' (금태섭) {{lived|1967}} is a conservative liberal politician in [[South Korea]].

He was originally a representative centrist politician in the [[Minjoo Party of Korea]], but was released from the party by opposing the [[Minjoo Party of Korea|Minjoo Party]]'s anti-prosecutor and pro-[[police]] policy.<ref>{{wpa|Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials}}</ref><ref>{{wplang|ko|고위공직자범죄수사처}}</ref>{{efn|South Korea is a country where private gun ownership is completely banned except for special cases for hunters, so unlike the United States, police power is not that strong. Therefore, unlike the United States, center-left social liberal parties may take a pro-police stance.}} He was critical of the mainstream Minjoo Party's view of weakening the prosecution's power and strengthening police power, and had argued for an alternative way of limiting the prosecution's investigative rights.<ref>https://n.news.naver.com/article/018/0004655032</ref>

Since 2021, he has been in solidarity with {{wpl|Ahn Cheol-soo||,}} a conservative liberal politician who was a famous entrepreneur.<ref>http://www.hani.co.kr/arti/politics/assembly/981115.html</ref>

==Political stance on social issues==
* He is one of the few politicians in South Korea who actively speaks out on minority [[human rights]] issues.
* He announced that he would run for mayor of Seoul on January 31, 2020, claiming that he would create the "Seoul Human Rights Ordinance".<ref>https://news.v.daum.net/v/20210131135401350</ref>
* He is a [[feminist]]. He strongly criticized Korea's patriarchal holiday culture and was one of the most active politicians in improving women's rights.<ref>http://www.ohmynews.com/NWS_Web/View/at_pg.aspx?CNTN_CD=A0002474221</ref>
* He has been a very active politician in [[LGBT]]+ issues since he was a member of the Minjoo Party. He is one of the few liberal politicians who participated in the Queer Pride parade in South Korea, where there is strong [[discrimination]] and opposition to LGBT+.<ref>https://news.joins.com/article/22801481</ref>
* He argued that being "against homosexuality" was not freedom of expression. He is also active in enacting anti-discrimination laws. (The Minju party's mainstream does not want to enact an anti-discrimination laws in consideration of the votes of [[Christians]] and the many South Korean voters who are against LGBT.)<ref>https://www.sisajournal.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=178578</ref>

Kevin Carlyon

{{newage}}
'''Kevin Carlyon''' is a [[neopaganism|witch]] and he refers to himself as "The Living God Of All Witches."

Others are less convinced of this.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20100608102827/http://www.cynicalsmirk.com/blog/kevin-carlyon/260</ref>

Mr. Carlyon visited [[Stonehenge]] for the 2009 Winter Solstice, but was one of the 2000 who showed up a day early (December 21st rather than December 22nd). Thus, if he is a God, he certainly isn't infallible. 

== Quotes ==
*"The success rate of my ‘spells’ has been documented worldwide, not my claim that they work but the claim of others who have documented my achievements in many publications and t.v. programmes worldwide."
*"MY FERTILITY SPELLS ARE GOING GREAT AT THE CERNE ABBAS GIANT IN DORSET. WHY NOT POP ALONG THERE FOR SOME NICE NOOKIE - ITS THE 'IN PLACE'."

Kim

[[File:Kim Jong-il in North Korean propaganda (6075332268).jpg|thumb|right|Propaganda poster of the Kim family at Mount Paektu (l-to-r: Kim Jong-suk, Kim Jong-il, Kim Il-sung)]]
*'''[[Kim Il-sung]]''' (1912-1994)
*'''[[Kim Jong-il]]''' (1941-2011)
*'''[[Kim Jong-un]]''' (1984-)
*'''[[Juche]]''' — the Kim-flavored variety of [[Stalinism]], occasionally referred to as "Kimism"

Nearly all references to the surname '''Kim''' (pertaining to [[RationalWiki:Mission|RationalWiki's mission]]) will refer to the crazies that have ruled [[North Korea]] from 1948 and onward. They are known as the '''Kim family''' or the second "Kim dynasty." In North Korea, the family is officially referred to as the "Mount Paektu Bloodline" (sometimes spelled "Baektu"). The mountain is traditionally [[sacred]] to Koreans (North and [[South Korea|South]]) and neighboring Manchus; the Kim family appropriated its name for [[propaganda]] purposes.

Kim is also the most common family name on the Korean Peninsula, a common first name outside of Korea ([[Kim Davis]], [[Kim Suozzi]]), an edible seaweed (e.g. served in [[Recipe:Kimchi jiggae]]), and an ethnic group in Chad.

 Kim in 2016]]
{{politics}}
'''Kim Eo-jun''' (김어준, also Kim Ou-Joon) {{lived|1968}} is a liberal [[journalist]] in [[South Korea]]. Eo-jun often sparkles controversy by making extremist claims on some issues. He is a politically pro-[[Moon Jae-in]], pro-[[Minjoo Party]] and anti-Western orientation.

His [[YouTube]] channel, podcasts, and internet journalism '''''Ttangji Ilbo''''' (딴지일보) are gaining huge popularity among Korea's middle-aged liberals. But ''[https://www.ddanzi.com/ Ttangji Ilbo]'' is basically more of a [[yellow journalism]].

==Extremist tendencies and positions==
In South Korea, he is accused by the conservative camp of having a liberals bias, but he is more of an anti-Western and anti-Japanese Nationalist than liberal.

The following are his controversial political positions.

* He takes an anti-American and [[conspiracy theorist]] view of the {{wpl|Cheonan incident||.}} He falsely claimed that the joint team had concluded that it was a torpedo because of the wrong arithmetic.
* In a Feb. 1, 2018 show on South Korean air network SBS's{{efn|''' 'SBS' is one of the top three terrestrial networks in South Korea(!!)'''}} political current affairs program, ''Kim Eo-jun's Black House'', defended [[Norman Finkelstein]], reporting as if it were true the [[International Jewish conspiracy|conspiracy theory that Jews held world capital and were manipulating American politics with the capital]]. But controversy did not arise from this because there are few [[Jewish]] residents in the South Korea.<ref>[https://programs.sbs.co.kr/culture/blackhouse/vod/50915/22000260940 김어준의 블랙하우스 3회]</ref>
* He lashed out at Juan Guaido and [[Venezuela]]'s anti-government forces as far-rightists.<ref>[http://www.tbs.seoul.kr/news/bunya.do?method=daum_html2&typ_800=4&seq_800=10331768 위협받는 베네수엘라 주권 … 주류 언론은 외면하는 미국과 극우 세력의 정권 전복 시나리오!]</ref>
* He negatively assessed [[MeToo]] movement as if it were a political act of conservatives when some liberal politicians in the South were also involved in [[sex crime]]s en masse.
* He once supported Trump. To be exact, before the [[2020 U.S. presidential election]]. He once said that considering relations with [[North Korea]], it is better for [[Donald Trump|Trump]] to be re-elected than [[Joe Biden|Biden]]. However, he has not supported Trump since Biden was elected.<ref>https://www.donga.com/news/Opinion/article/all/20201029/103687579/1</ref>

Kinder, Küche, Kirche

{{cquote|Remember, little girl, that one day you must be a German mother.|||[[Adolf Hitler]], ''Mein Kampf''}}
'''''Kinder, Küche, Kirche''''' ([[Children]], Kitchen and [[Church]]) is a German expression denoting the role of women in [[society]]. Allegedly first used by Kaiser Bill (Kaiser Wilhelm II: 1859&ndash;1941, reigned 1888&ndash;1918), it was also promoted by the [[Nazi Germany|Third Reich]], although with less emphasis on the "''Kirche''."  

It is remarkably similar to the role recommended ([[hypocrisy|though not ''demonstrated'']]) by [[Phyllis Schlafly]] and, by extension, the [[Eagle Forum]] and [[Conservapedia]]. It is the antithesis of second-wave feminism, if not the antithesis of modern civilization,  and is not espoused ''[sic]'' in [[Enlightenment|enlightened]] societies today.  

Today, it is commonplace for women to enter the workforce, but as recently as the 1980s, Nancy Reagan was criticized for meddling in public affairs.<ref>Pam Fessler, [http://www.npr.org/2016/03/06/139726039/nancy-reagan-presidents-fiercest-protector-dies-at-94 "Nancy Reagan, President's Fiercest Protector, Dies at 94"], [[NPR]], March 5, 2016</ref>

After all, if you release hordes of hungry ''Kinder'' in the early afternoon, it's best that ''Mutti'' be waiting at home for them (in the ''Küche''!) so she can fix them their lunch.

Kinoki Foot Pads

{{altmed}}
{{Billy Mays}}
'''Kinoki Foot Pads''' are an "As Seen on TV" [[woo]] "product" that allegedly [[detox|removes deadly toxins]], [[parasite]]s, heavy metals, metabolic waste, and other manners of ill shit from your body.  This is done through "proven" [[Japan]]ese [[reflexology]] research which dictates that when worn overnight on your foot, these pads will draw out the toxins through your skin for two weeks. The pads will be pitch black and disgusting after the first night and will become lighter over time until there are no more [[toxin]]s left while simultaneously relieving your wallet of dangerously flammable cash.

==Real science==
Essentially, the pads are treated with [[green tea]] and vinegar, known [[antioxidants]], and will react with moisture in the air or sweat from your foot, rendering the pad a dark color. This is a common theme amongst products that have a "detox" effect &mdash; the ingredients themselves will turn black, sludgy, or start to smell just by reacting with [[water]]. In a similar variant to these pads reviewed by [[Ben Goldacre]] in ''Bad Science'', the primary ingredient was "hydrolyzed cellulose" &mdash; or in less [[deceit|obfuscatory]] terms, sugar &mdash; so it is little wonder that after a night being exposed to sweat, the pads produce a sticky substance.

A study conducted on the Kinoki pads by an independent laboratory found that used pads contained none of 23 different toxins, metals, etc. that the pad claimed to remove (including a few extras such as toluene and styrene). Following the negative test, the lab exposed a fresh pad to distilled water, demonstrating that it turned black anyway.<ref>[http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Stossel/story?id=4636224&page=1 ABC News &mdash; Ridding Yourself of Toxins, or Money?]</ref> It is also quite telling that the website<ref>[http://www.buykinoki.com BuyKinoki.com]</ref> no longer functions (go ahead, try it!),<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071011010132/http://www.buykinoki.com/ archived BuyKinoki.com site from 2007]</ref> and the maker of the product, Xacta 3000, has been charged by the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive marketing practices.<ref>[http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/01/xacta.shtm FTC Charges Marketers of Kinoki Foot Pads With Deceptive Advertising; Seeks Funds for Consumer Redress]</ref>
