What Doctors Don't Tell You

{{significantly problematic}}{{sources needed}}{{altmed}}
'''What Doctors Don't Tell You''' (usually abbreviated '''WDDTY''') is a global epicenter of [[woo]] containing large amounts of information which your doctor or health practitioner will not tell you, largely because it is [[Bullshit|utter bollocks]]. In the spectrum of reliability, only [[whale.to]] contains [[Wronger than wrong|more Wrong]].

As usual with [[Webshite|woo websites]], it sees nothing inconsistent in supporting numerous mutually contradictory forms of [[bullshit]] while rejecting all output of the [[Big Pharma]] Conspiracy (unless it can be [[cherry picking|cherry picked]] to support some bullshit).

WDDTY launched its first mainstream magazine in the [[UK]] in 2012, distributed by newsagents and supermarkets including WH Smith and Tesco. A surge of reports to the [http://asa.org.uk/ Advertising Standards Authority] about the advertisements inside and the magazine happened.

What Really Happened

{{conspiracynav|1}}{{internet}}
'''What Really Happened''' (tagline "Putting [[United States|America]] First, Second, And Third!") is a website that purports to tell you "what ''really'' happened."<ref group=note>What else?</ref> As you can probably tell, the creators' version of events does ''not'' tend to be "what really happened"; in reality, they promote all sorts of [[conspiracy theories]].

==Conspiracy theories they promote==
Among the many conspiracy theories promoted by What Really Happened, some of their favorite obsessions are:
*[[9/11 conspiracy theories]]
*[[International Jewish conspiracy|Banking conspiracies involving '''DA JOOOOOZ''']]
*[[Pearl Harbor conspiracy theory|The "FDR did Pearl Harbor" conspiracy]]
*[[Global warming conspiracy theory|Global warming conspiracy theories]]
*Various forms of [[pseudohistory]] and [[survivalism]]

==Stopped clock==
{{main|Stopped clock}}
[[Stopped clock|Interestingly enough]], What Really Happened has sections debunking [[creationism]] and [[birtherism]] — but they still put their own spin on the latter by positing an out-of-wedlock birth rather than the "born in [[Kenya]]" theory). They also have an associated podcast and [[wiki]]. So, in essence, it's a poor man's [[Infowars]].

==In the media==
There is also a radio show on John Stadtmiller's Republic Broadcasting Network.<ref>{{wpa|Republic Broadcasting Network}}</ref><ref>[https://www.republicbroadcastingarchives.org/category/michael-rivero/ What Really Happened with Michael Rivero, September 11, 2019 Hour 3], Republic Broadcasting Archives</ref> The website's proprietor, Michael Rivero, claims to have started his website and radio show after questioning what really happened to [[Vince Foster]], claiming that his suicide seemed like something he saw out of the movie special effects industry, which he works in. The podcast was on [[shortwave]] radio, as well as being carried by the Genesis Communications Network.

Where to go in the U.S. if you're an atheist

{{atheism}}
Welcome! Here's everything you need to know about which areas in the [[United States]] are more atheist.

==The best==
===Best general area===
The Pacific Northwest-<ref>http://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-the-most-godless-city-in-america-2015-03-24</ref> specifically, the West Coast. The East Coast is also great. Ocean air does seem to be beneficial to intelligence and common sense. These areas comprise the "heathen belt"- that is, the parts of America that have the most freethinkers.

===Best cities===
Seattle, WA, San Francisco, CA, and Portland, OR make great cities for atheists. Plus, they are just within driving distance of the Pacific Ocean. Those of us that prefer the middle of the country will like Boulder, CO. <ref>https://mic.com/articles/32115/top-5-cities-for-godless-atheists#.jsxurp48g</ref> Manchester, NH, Burlington, VT, and Portland, ME are good for those who prefer the East Coast- but be warned, they are very cold.(Seriously, 2 of these cities are among the top 50 coldest cities in the U.S.<ref>http://wjbq.com/portland-maine-is-one-of-the-coldest-50-cities-in-america-brrr/</ref>)

===Best states===
Vermont and New Hampshire are the best.
[[File:States with most atheists.jpg|190px|thumb|Go here!]]

==The worst==
===Worst general area===
''Don't go to the south and/or center of America.'' No, really. This is [[Bible Belt|pretty self-explanatory]], and it would be much harder for you to find other atheists in these parts of the country.

===Worst cities===
Chattanooga, TN and Provo-Orem, UT are particularly noted.<ref>http://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/the-10-most-religious-cities-in-america-104812/11/</ref><ref>http://time.com/1541/godless-cities-in-america/</ref> Nowhere else in America will you ever find a more wretched hive of dumb and villainy. Fort Myers, FL, where there is a Christian church on almost every corner and [[Donald Trump]] won by ''20 freaking percentage points''.<ref>https://www.lee.vote/Election-Results/Real-Time-Election-Results</ref>

===Worst states===
The least-freethinking states in the US of A are Utah, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, both Dakotas, and Oklahoma.<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/map-us-shows-states-highest-number-people-still-believe-god/</ref>

==Footnotes==
{{reflist}}
White

{{fork}}
*A racist term used to justify social oppression. Outside of caste systems or racial institutions, the term has no use. As to what group is "White" or not depends on the power dynamic in question. It has mostly been used to refer to Europeans, but sometimes also includes their descendants, and other Caucasian groups like West Asians.
*[[White Commonwealth]], a term used to describe those [[Commonwealth of Nations]] states with a significant white and English speaking population.
*[[White flight]], a term used to describe the gradual movement of white people out of increasingly integrated localities.
*[[White genocide]], a bullshit [[conspiracy theory]] that white people are being subjected to an orchestrated campaign of demographic replacement coordinated through migration of non-white people to "white" countries and [[miscegenation]], typically by the [[International Jewish conspiracy]].
*[[White guilt]], a concept that white support for racial equality measures are motivated by a collective shame for past abuses. This concept is often used as a poisoning of the well fallacy by the right-wing to oppose [[social justice]] measures for non-whites.
*{{wpl|White hole||,}} the theoretical inverse of a [[black hole]]
*[[White hole cosmology]], the [[bullshit]] [[creationist]] "[[theory]]" by [[Russell Humphreys]] that the [[Earth]] originated inside a white hole and so is subjected to severe {{wpl|time dilation||,}} where billions of years could pass outside the field subject to the white hole, while somehow also allowing for a [[Young Earth creationism|6000 year]] history of the Earth.
*[[Whiteknighting]], an expression of the [[poisoning the well]] [[fallacy]] typically used by the [[manosphere]] to paint any cishet man who comes to the defense of a woman being harassed and abused as simply wanting to get inside the woman's pants.
*[[White nationalism]], a thinly-veiled cover for white supremacy that holds that white people are a distinct "nation" and so should be treated as such.
*[[White Panther Party]], the [[Black Panther Party]]'s white allies
*[[White supremacy]], the fuckwit idea that white people are superior to other races.
White Pendragons

{{islamophobia}}
The '''White Pendragons''' are a tiny, [[Donald Trump|Trump]]-supporting racist group in the [[UK]]. They spend their time:
* trying and failing to perform citizen's arrests of politicians they don't like, such as the Muslim mayor of [[London]], {{wpl|Sadiq Khan}}<ref name='dazed'>http://www.dazeddigital.com/politics/article/38627/1/pro-trump-white-supremacists-just-tried-to-arrest-sadiq-khan</ref>
* talking about how Anglo-Saxon (i.e. white) English people supposedly invented absolutely everything that is great in the world<ref name='raw'>http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/sadiq-khan-speech-white-pendragons-brexiteer-donald-trump-group-pro-leave-mayor-london-a8162291.html</ref>
* and pushing deranged [[conspiracy theories]] — in particular:
** [[freemen on the land]] theories involving the [[Magna Carta]]
** conspiracy theories that the actually rather moderate [[Fabian Society]] is part of some secret extremist plot<ref name='raw'/>

People associated with the group have previously been involved with the anti-Muslim [[English Defence League]]<ref name='raw'/> and the micro-party the [[English Democrats]] (not to be confused with the US [[Democratic Party]], with which it has no relationship).<ref name='dazed'/>

While claiming (probably for legal reasons) that they welcome people of all races and religions,<ref name='dazed'/> there is no evidence that they are anything other than an all-white, [[white nationalism|ethnonationalist]] group.

==Khan "arrest"==
They purportedly tried to arrest Sadiq Khan in 2018, claiming that he should not be mayor of London [[Islamophobia|"because he is a Muslim"]] (holding a political office while Muslim is not, needless to say, a crime in the UK). However, in doing so, they demonstrated that they did not know what a {{wpl|citizen's arrest}} was, seemingly believing that it involved calling the police to arrest someone (that is a ''normal'' arrest). In reality, it was more of a protest to get media attention, which achieved its objectives, but reporters present had a hard time making sense of who they were or what they wanted from listening to their jumble of [[wingnut]] complaints.

They also, disturbingly, brought along a home-made gallows, but hid it out of sight outside, presumably so they would not be arrested for threatening behaviour or similar.<ref name='raw'/>

Why Are You Atheists So Angry?

{{books}}
'''''Why Are You Atheists So Angry?: 99 Things That Piss Off the Godless''''' ({{Isbn|9780985281526}}) is a book by the [[United States|American]] [[author]] and blogger [[Greta Christina]].  It was published in 2012.

The promotional text for the book reads:

{{cquote|Why are [[atheists]] angry? Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from [[God]]? Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry--and are ready to do something about it? Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it. This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but also to believers who want to understand the so-called [[New Atheism|new atheism]]. ''Why Are You Atheists So Angry''? drops a bombshell on the destructive force of religious [[faith]]—and gives a voice to millions of angry atheists.}}

The book was preceded by a lecture of the same name which Greta gave at Skepticon 4,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUI_ML1qkQE Why Are You Atheists So Angry? Greta Christina Skepticon 4]</ref> which itself was preceded by her signature blog post "Atheists and Anger".<ref>[http://freethoughtblogs.com/greta/2007/10/15/atheists-and-an/ Atheists and Anger]</ref>  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 [[Microaggression|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).

Wickard v. Filburn

{{title-italics}}{{constnav}}{{Caselaw|Wickard v. Filburn |317 U.S. 111|1942}}
'''''Wickard v. Filburn''''' was a [[Supreme Court of the United States|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 [[United States Constitution| Constitution]], the others being retained by the [[states' rights|states]] or the people. One of those enumerated powers is the power to [[Commerce Clause|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]].

Wiley Drake

{{christianity|1}}'''Wiley Drake''' {{lived|1943}} 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 [[curse|cursing]] [[Barack Obama]] and others. His battle to prove that President [[Obama citizenship denial|Barack Obama]] was not born in the USA was heard in court at a preliminary hearing in January 2010.<ref>[http://www.abpnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4384&Itemid=53 Judge sets court date in 'birther' case filed by Wiley Drake] (retrieved 29 September 2009)</ref> It was, as all other cases filed by [[birther]]s, thrown out, possibly with judicial sighing and eye-rolling at some point.

==Praying for the President to die==
In the spirit of [[Christian]] love and forgiveness, Drake has offered [[prayer]]s for the death of Barack Obama, just as he did previously - and "successfully" - for [[George Tiller]].<ref>[http://www.abpnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4119&Itemid=53 Associated Baptist Press]</ref>

Wilk vs. AMA

{{altmed}}
''''' 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 [[Pseudoscience|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.<ref>[http://openjurist.org/895/f2d/352/wilk-dc-dc-dc-dc-v-american-medical-association-a-wilk-dc-w-dc-b-dc-b-dc 895 F. 2d 352 &mdash; Wilk Dc Dc Dc Dc v. American Medical Association a Wilk Dc W Dc B Dc B Dc]</ref> The ruling was upheld by a Federal appeals court. It was appealed to the [[Supreme Court of the United States|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

[[File:NLN William Blum.jpg|right|thumb|200px|William Blum in 2007.]]
'''William Blum''' {{lived|1933|2018}} was an [[United States|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 "[[anticommunism|fighting communism]]" or "bringing [[freedom]] and [[democracy]] ", was just another [[Imperialism|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 War|Vietnam]].
He then became one of the founders and editors of the ''Washington Free Press'', the first “alternative” newspaper in the capital.<ref>[http://williamblum.org/about About William Blum] ''William Blum''.</ref>

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.<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/20/AR2006012001971.html The Author Who Got A Big Boost From bin Laden] by David Montgomery (January 21, 2006) ''The Washington Post''.</ref>

William Brevard Hand

[[File:William Brevard Hand.jpg|thumb|right|165px|Hand — he wasn't a [[Catholic]] priest but he cosplayed as one]]
{{atheism}}
'''William Brevard Hand''' {{lived|January 18, 1924|September 6, 2008}} 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 [[United States Constitution|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.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/1987/03/10/science/about-education-a-matter-of-censorship.html?pagewanted=1 ABOUT EDUCATION; A MATTER OF CENSORSHIP], [[New York Times]], 10 March 1987</ref><ref>[http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/1987/03/11/2424mob.h06.html Federal Court Finds Secular Humanism a Religion], Education Week, 11 March 1987</ref>  It appears that the case was brought in Hand's district {{wpl|Forum shopping|after his public remarks}} after a [[school prayer]] case in Alabama in 1982.
