Ironic, isn't it? They also believe in Bigfoot, UFO's, crop circles, and other nonsense. They also support it financially, by purchasing the tabloids and books trumpeting these works.
There is quite a large cottage industry of people who make a living off selling these fairy tales as "conspiracies". The con men have had excellent support from, big surprise, Hollywood. Countless films and TV shows have, over the years, lent much false credibility to the stories.
It would be nice if most folks were the type who, when asked to believe some wild tale of "monsters" or "aliens", simply asked for some solid PROOF, and knew what, in fact, constitutes such proof. Hint: It ain't "eyewitness" accounts, nor is it a book by a carpenter in Jersey.
Yep, the same ones who made The X-Files a hit a few years ago. Believe it or not, a lot of people watched that show and said, "Yeah! They're RIGHT!"
There is, after all, more than one reason why Democrats are still taken seriously when they speak. P.T. Barnum's theory has held up well, no?
I met him at a convention once and he told us that he landed on the moon. Is that good enough for you? (not made up)
The House of Representatives wanted to do the moon landing, then JFK noted the support in Congress and announced the program.
Nixon lived in a different world, the legal world. For him that was the real world. He couldn't have pointed out the moon if he saw it over the Washington Monument. All the same, the race to the moon was over, and other problems arose--Vietnam, loss of faith in the Federal government, the Golden Fleece Award, the Oil Embargo, national introversion.
Mainly, though, the moon was found to be missing something important -- water.
The Moon makes a bad choice for a satellite platform because it is not in geosynchronous orbit. It does not stay in the same place above a given spot on Earth. If we were trying to receive a signal from a transmitter planted on the Moon, we would first have to find the Moon, and then constantly keep adjusting our dish to continue receiving.
Our current satellites are in an orbit that keeps them in the same spot above the Earth, even as it rotates on its axis (geosynchronous orbit).
I only have one statement about the Moon hoax/non-hoax: I want to believe.
July 20, 1969 happened to be my 9th birthday, and that has always been my claim to fame. I collect Moon landing memorabilia, I remember my grandmother crying as we watched Armstrong's boot step down onto the lunar surface, and I will be broken-hearted if the bastards faked the whole thing.
What is NASA's dilemma? Why don't they simply answer the questions? Tell us how they protected the vehicle from the radiation and the heat. Tell us about the retouched photographs. Tell us how they got the 35mm film back to Earth through the radiation field.
Lay it all out for us, NASA. I want to believe more than anyone.
The reason the NWO did this was quite simple. While the lunar landings did take place, as observed by any hundreds of sources, the satellites quietly began their epic first mission as a WMH (weapons of mass hypnosis).
Using an alien technology recovered from a UFO crash in New Mexico, the satellites beamed errant, subversive, and random though patterns down upon an unsuspecting world. Before long, clearly documented historical events were in doubt, social fabric unraveled like a cheap sweater, and Jimmy Carter was inaugurated.
So, it's all really quite simple. All these 'facts' you think you have are in fact the product of high tech thought beams, generated in space and radiated to Earth, to further the agenda of a secret cabal of vampires that rules the world.
I hope that cleared it all up for everyone.
They used Hasselblads. It's larger than the 35mm cameras. Custom-built for use while wearing spacesuits.
Doing a Q-and-A session on C-SPAN would draw the true whack jobs out, who would then clog the lines in their zeal to call Armstrong names, as that one imbecilic mark did to Aldrin, at the expense of his jaw.
These men achieved a place in history for an adventure of a lifetime, and one, it should be pointed out, that was not without risk of death. They also worked their entire lives for the chance.
Why, then, should they be subjected to the mudgobbing and deadcatting of idiots and losers that such a forum would doubtlessly attract?
He does not need to repeat it for me to believe him. I believed him the first time.
It's especially popular among islamic circles.
The teachers emailing NASA wanting a way of refuting the charges were probably responding to their islamic students.
Of course it's a sad commentary on the U.S. educational system that puplic school teachers don't have enough skill to do their own refuting.
Sounds harsh, but it is the sad truth.
