Moon Hoax Progress

In a little over four years it will be half a century since man allegedly walked on the moon. Time has dulled the memories and emotions of those exhilarating days, and the participants involved are now elderly; some have already passed away, like Neil Armstrong, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/neil-armstrong-dies.html. The fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing will probably be very different in tone to the previous fortieth and thirtieth; during the latter of which this TV programme was broadcast, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75I_6uPtZCg. Nevertheless, there will be some form of celebration to mark the event, most likely including speeches from the US President, special TV shows and books, and public events featuring the surviving astronauts. Apollo 50 will also be an opportunity for us, on this side of the fence, who doubt the official story of man's first steps on the moon. I feel the build up has already begun. Firstly, Marcus Allen, one of the top moon hoax researchers in the world, did a long series of radio interviews with somebody I'm sure you're acquainted with, see: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/programme-134-podcast-marcus-allen.html. Phil Kouts has also written a fascinating serial about the engineering history of the Apollo hardware and its relationship to modern space exploration- or lack of it, see: https://www.nexusmagazine.com/. A new award-winning research film has come out that has detected yet more incriminating anomalies in the lunar photographic and TV record. It's called Moon Hoax Now and is an independent film by Jet Wintzer, see: https://vimeo.com/126206380. What I find most interesting about this fifty-five minute documentary is Wintzer's unorthodox ethical views on the moon landing hoax. Within the moon hoax community, the almost universal response to the acceptance of chicanery in the official story of Project Apollo is anger; we feel hurt, betrayed and indignant at being lied to on such a huge scale. Jet Wintzer takes a totally different appraisal. He regards the faking of the moon landings as an inevitable and even welcome element to the Cold War. He claims that the fraudulent manned moon missions may well have saved the world by preventing the nuclear armed superpowers from ever resorting to all-out war. He lauds the "astro-nots" as American heroes and has even come to enjoy the moon landings as a great work of art. I've never thought of the moon hoax this way before and will have to consider this angle for a while. I'm not sure I agree with Wintzer morally; but his positive attitude could be beneficial on a pragmatic level because it might encourage the perpetrators of the hoax to help bring the truth to light. He encourages them to do so, to "step forward and get their due."

One of the most common questions believers in the moon landings ask is: "Why didn't the Russians let the cat out of the bag?" A valid question, after all the Soviet Union was the USA's rival in the Space Race. At the time they were also the only other country on Earth with the capability to verify independently America's extraordinary achievement. They must have been very certain the Americans were telling the truth otherwise they could easily have sent a rocket up there themselves to check the Lunar Module descent stage and footprints etc were present on the lunar surface. Up until the moon landings, the USSR had enjoyed a decisive lead in the Space Race; Apollo meant that the Americans had proven themselves their match. Why would the USSR permit that if it wasn't true? Moon hoax researchers see it as more complicated than that. There are many reasons why the Russians might have colluded with the USA to keep their big secret safe. I describe some of these possible reasons in the background links below, but the most important one is that the Americans weren't the only ones lying. The Soviet space programme had some skeletons in its own closet and the Americans were helping them keep a foot firmly pressed against that closet door. One of those is that the Vostok 1 mission of April 1961, the rocket that launched a man into space for the first time, had also been faked. Mary Bennett and David Percy detail the anomalies of that mission in their book and film, see at around 2.49.00: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W79mIGx9Ib4. There's also evidence to suggest that the Soviets had launched other manned space missions before Vostok 1 which had never been publicly revealed because they ended in disaster and the astronauts were killed, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMvg1t133Qc. Did the Russians and Americans strike a deal: "You keep a lid on our deception, and we'll keep a lid on yours."? However, that was a long time ago. Things have changed. Today for more than half of the years since Apollo, the Soviet Union has been no more and Russia has abandoned the dreaded communism. A few days ago a top official in the Russian government announced that he wanted to reinvestigate whether America landed men on the moon. This was an addendum to what he saw as the USA's incompetence to deal with the FIFA corruption scandal. Vladimir Markin, writing in the newspaper The Moscow Times, brings up some of the suspicious elements of the Apollo missions which have generated my doubts, and those of others; for instance the fact that NASA "lost" the original videotapes of the TV transmissions, even though they were stored in huge cassettes weighing five pounds. Also a lot of the moon rock brought back by Apollo can now not be found and a piece of supposed moon rock on display in the Netherlands has turned out to be fake, a chunk of fossilized wood, see: http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/russian-official-proposes-international-investigation-into-us-moon-landings/523799.html. If a covert agreement, of whatever kind, was made with America back at the start of the Space Race, this will be a sign that the Americans have welshed and the Russians are not happy. Markin's article could be a warning. Does this mean we will have a full confession about faking Apollo from the current US administration? No. Probably there will never a willing one. Like 9/11, UFO Disclosure and institutional child abuse, the faking of the moon landings is probably one of those "bigger than big" secrets; one whose maintenance is quintessential to the current global order. The political structures of the modern world simply do not have the capacity to absorb and process a revelation of that magnitude. This doesn't mean I'm a defeatist. The truth is an irresistible force, and some day soon, one way or another, we will find out what will happen when it meets an immovable object.
