Mark brings up points that he hasn’t researched and which you, Ray, have accepted at face value. The complete lack of curiosity among the disbelievers is simply staggering. Don’t you want to check if and what the response is to this seemingly earth-shattering claim: “Hey, oils and lubricants used on earth wouldn’t work in space. Gotcha!” As I said to Mark there are responses to every seeming anomaly, OK, Ray. Any seeming anomaly you care to think of there will be a response. I defy you to put forward a seeming anomaly that doesn’t have a response to it. Sure, you may not agree with the response but you need to be able to respond to it, not simply put forward what you think are compelling facts.

Look for an explanation first before holding up something in triumph first.

I’ve decided to put this comment up for scrutiny rather than write a long response to it in the overdone comment section of the post in which it appeared.

There’s a word used, one which I seldom use: “Fact.” I made the claim that there existed on Earth no known substance that could withstand the purported conditions on the Moon, wild swings in temperatures of as much as 500°F. NASA tells us that such substances must exist … after all, they transported machinery to the inhospitable environment of the Moon, and it functioned just fine, including cameras with finely engineered moving parts that depended on those parts moving at very high speeds to open and shut shutters and heavily gloved hands to advance the film. Also, we are told, the astronauts who landed on the moon entered this environment in latex suits that kept them warm and fully functioning throughout. They were not affected by cosmic radiation, so it must not be a problem up there.

In my original piece on the Columbine “massacre”, September of 2017, I had stopped doing face chops, thinking them the object of ridicule among “informed” folk. Instead, I began doing opaque overlays wherein one person becomes another. Thus in the Columbine piece did I show Eric Harris morphing into Trey Parker and Dylan Klebold into Matt Stone, Parker and Stone being the alleged creators of the long running TV show South Park.

I heard about this mass shooting, from August 8th, recently even as I do not subscribe to newspapers. For some reason, information reaches me. I do check in on the Billings Gazette of my hometown, but am not a subscriber. I cannot access anything but the teaser article in the beginning.

Once upon a time, I was able to click on the teaser, and the story would appear for a brief instant before being covered by a banner. I would quickly hit control A (select all) and control C (copy) and capture the story, which I would reprint on Microsoft Word. I said to myself at the time, “Don’t let on about this! Don’t tell them you can do it.” But then one day the cover-up banner appeared so quickly that I could no longer perform this exercise. My only way of accessing content was to subscribe, and I am often intrigued by stories, but cannot force myself to push that button.

In this story, four people were shot and killed at the Owl Bar, 819 E 3rd St., Anaconda, Montana. It happened at 10:30 in the morning on August 8th. “Sounds fake!” I immediately thought.

Here they are, left to right Daniel Edwin Bailee, 59; David Allen Leach, 70, Nancy Lauretta Kelley, 64, and Tony Wayne Palm, 74. I looked them all up on Ancestry.com, and they all turn up as Anaconda residents. But there are issues:

Back in March I received an email from a person asking to be kept anonymous. In it he was inquisitive of a piece written by Fauxlex called Framing John Lotter: The Fake Murder of Brandon Teena. It was based on the 1999 movie Boys Don’t Cry starring Hillary Swank (pictured above with her doppelgänger, Matt Damon), Chloë Sevigny and Peter Sarsgaard and others. Swank played Teena Brandon, who in the movie is Brandon Teena, a transvestite, or woman passing as a man. In 1993 Brandon is murdered by John Lotter (Sarsgaard) and Tom Nissen (played by Brandon Sexton III). Lotter was accused of the murder of Brandon and two others, Lisa Lambert, and Phillip DeVine, and is sentenced to death, in large part based on the testimony of Nissen, who would later confess that he, and not Lotter, had killed the three victims.

At the time I suggested to Fauxlex that even as we agreed that the murders were fake, and that Brandon (played in the movie by Swank) was played in real life by a woman, Barbra Kramer, still living in a town in Nebraska, that Lotter and Nissen could not possibly be in jail. I was able to match the real-life Brandon Teena photo to a to the living woman who in real life was supposed to be Brandon Teena. (Fauxlex made this connection before I did.) So much time has passed, and I do not have the private emails, but I never said publicly to Fauxlex that I doubted that Lotter and Nissen were in jail. He went after me in public for disagreeing with him, as is his wont.
