Moon landings is like a drug, it just hooks people. It so happened that the last post was not supposed to be about that subject, but why try!
OK, so let’s go there. But let’s take it up a level. There’s a whole lot of evidence of a suspicious nature, like the photographs. But they could have easily taken those after-the-fact. In that sense, they don’t validate or invalidate anything. The logistics were beyond my frame of reference. They say there were Van Allen belts, and then not to worry about them, all you have to do is go really fast! They say that there was not enough fuel aboard, but even with a pocket calculator, not available back then, I cannot do that arithmetic. They say that bombardment by cosmic rays could be fatal, but what if they are so intermittent that it was a chance worth taking? All of that, and more, taking a buggy just for a joy ride, having a camera that was able to shoot the launch of the return voyage, ridiculously fake, and freakishly sullen astronauts on return … proves nothing.
I don’t care about any of that stuff. I want to think about the bigger picture.
- Why go there? Better yet, why go there six times, accomplishing exactly nothing?
- Why not go back after then, even now 57 years later, they claim they’re only going to take a spin around it. (And read Bible verses?)
- Why not establish a base there? Why not a settlement?
- Why not go beyond there?
As I see it, we’re on a prison planet, hopelessly trapped. We can send machinery out there. That works, but if we were able to get off this place, we’d go. We’d send our best people, and wish them well, telling them to keep in touch. The question might be … where to? Beyond Mars, there are no achievable non-cryogenic destinations, and anyway I don’t imagine Mars is habitable or travel there and back achievable. We’re not going there either. (Well, maybe to drop off Matt Damon, a worthy mission.) Beyond that, hard to fathom why anyone thinks there’s good reason to go to Mars. Going there is one thing, but then coming back? With live people aboard?
My only logical conclusion is that we were doing something else, and that the Moon landings were a distraction from that something else, as is Artemis.
Forget about money. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, money has never been an issue. We can print as much as we want. The idea that they faked that show just to steal money out of the Treasury is absurd. The people behind this have money, access to that money, and the ability to make more if they need it. It was never about the money. (Have you not noticed that when they want a war, money is no object? Or that paying that money back is never done, never even contemplated?)
Forget about the Soviets. That whole show was just for show, and if you can’t imagine that, read Orwell’s 1984. We need enemies, the bigger, the better. But behind that façade are people who see eye-to-eye. It was not about the Soviets. It was never about the Soviets. I would almost say that the Soviets as arch-villains were an American creation, but then, so was America itself a creation of the same people. Who’s behind all of this?
It was never about science. Grant it, there were scientific advancements beyond Velcro and Tang. Rocketry got much better, as did latex bras. Who knew Mylar was so durable?
There was, for sure, propaganda, but everything in our lives is propaganda, most of it used to scare us. The Moon landings were used instead to inspire us, make us feel good about ourselves. That does not compute. We now know that the Challenger disaster was fake, and propaganda used to make us feel bad (and destroy the hope and dreams of school children). That’s more like it. That makes more sense than an uplifting historic accomplishment beyond all others.
I mentioned in the comments below this post that there are “unknown unknowns”. I think it was the late Dick Cheney who first uttered “known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns”. Maybe it was someone else, maybe George W. Bush. But the essential element is this: Something was being done with those rocket launches. The idea that they were staged just to dump empty rockets in the Pacific strains credulity. Apollo 11, yes. No one aboard, as far as I can tell. That was a buzzer beater. But the rest? They were doing something.
What they were doing, however, was a secret, and has never been divulged. The propaganda forces have been at work for decades creating the binary debate with the missing middle, that we either went there or we did not, supplying experts for “both” sides. Just as with JFK they supplied all sides of the narrative, reinforcing them all with books, movies and experts, and leaving out that one true thing, so too have they done that with the Moon landings.
Something happened there, something so secret that even 57 years later it is too hot to handle. It could be that if they fess up on one thing, they open Pandora’s Box. That could well be the reason they are still pushing this lie.
What were they up to, really? To me, it’s an unknown that, as with the Manhattan Program, is simply off limits. It’s none of our effing business.
