The moon fraud can be amply disproved by one simple fact: due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon to buffer the temperature extremes inherent in "outer space"...the side of the ship in the sunlight would be over 1000 degrees F...and the dark side absolute zero. There is no material for space suits that could protect against those extremes. Nor could the ship itself protect.
Also you could not bring enough oxygen to survive for that length of time.
Very good point. Add battery power for the Personal Life Support Systems ... the Rover ... the film (Kodak Ektachrome), the astronauts prey to micrometeorites, the temperature differential for them, the lack of space in the landing module to change into and out of their suits, and on and on and on ..... Thanks for commenting.
Neil Young was the ultimate defender of Upton Sinclair's “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
Yeah that's kind of sad. As for all the Neils, they slip around for me. Diamond, Young, Armstrong. I suppose Neil Gaiman was too young to write the landing for them.
I don't remember Neil Armstrong doing so, but "On September 9, 2002, astronaut Buzz Aldrin—the second human to set foot on the moon—is walking outside a Beverly Hills hotel when a conspiracy theorist starts harassing him and accusing Aldrin of lying about the Apollo 11 moon landing. Incensed, Aldrin punches his heckler in the face," according to History.com at history.com/this-day-in-history/buzz-aldrin-punches-moon-landing-conspiracy-theorist-bart-sibrel. Bart Sibrel is best known for his documentary "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon."
Emanuel, I think you unpack this beautifully. And there are many very grounded comments here giving additional information.
--------
To turn in a different direction, my concern with the amount of information coming forward. The tilting of what was for many an accepted reality. That many are struggling with their emotional well being. Beautiful bright folks that maybe don't have the basic pieces in place to do the work of it. Or those that may hold beliefs that don't serve them to be emotionally grounded. Some of whom have present day trauma coupling up with older trauma. Who might not be able to negotiate a system that unless you really know how to advocate for yourself, might not have your best interests at heart.
How many have lost community, family, friends, jobs, purpose, structure?
Thank you, you are absolutely correct: how much more disillusionment and trauma can we take? Well as much as we have to! How about a truthful world? I wouldn't mind that.
You sure it would be that extreme?... I seem to recall reading during the Moonshot years – I was 10 - 12 – that the day side of the moon was about 250º Fahrenheit and the night side -212º Fahrenheit... Still a difference nearing 500 degrees though...
For sure...no one has been to the "dark" side of the moon...do YOU claim to have been?
I used extreme temperatures to make a point. The kind of "Space travel" we were so ceaselessly indoctrinated with in our youths (mine at least) is categorically impossible for all kinds of reasons. What is truly an incredible feat--and much more difficult than flying to the moon--is getting millions of people to go along with the stupidest bs ever that spewed from the mouths of idiots--that people were dieing all over the world from the same disease caused by a "virus" ....
WORLD WIDE PANDEMICS can never happen....and as a side note...there are no such things as viruses.
Your point 𝙬𝙖𝙨 taken.. And I was quoting from what I remember reading at the time.. which is now 55 years ago...😱 Thus I have no idea... Though I have to add I'm now suddenly also wondering about "Project Mercury" and "Project Gemini".. Did John Glenn 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 orbit the earth 3 times in 1962? I suppose people old enough to remember watched the rocket go up, saw the capsule parachuting to splashdown -- on television mind you...
As for the Fraudemic... By November 2021 in British Columbia where I have the misfortune to live, we were at Stage 5 of Genocide Progression. The bastard politicians responsible? They're still in power. They'll never be held to account. Thus I now live like a hermit, shunning human contact as much as possible. (https://www.genocidewatch.com/tenstages)
I'll leave you with a book title: "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles MacKay, first published in 1844, and still in print. As an example of how crazy and stupid humanity can be, apparently at the height of the witch frenzy in Germany, some villages and towns were entirely depopulated of their women.
Thanks Capt....I appreciate your book suggestion of Charles MacKay and will look into it. There have been many ludicrous beliefs held by those in power. For example, in the past childbirth was traditionally left to "wise women"....many of whom were herbalists in their respective villages...When the men got into that business--suddenly numerous mothers were dying of "childbed fever"....The male doctors went directly from the morgues to the laboring women and examined them...without washing their hands. Many women got "childbed fever" and shortly died. Does it take a genius to see why?
We do need a Nuremberg 2.0 now because many among still do not understand. A minutely planned and horrifying scheme was executed on the general population of the "western" nations. So many deaths have occurred...so much heart disease, neurological destruction and cancer...
It is almost too horrifying to believe. But we must face the truth and live with it if we are ever to move forward....I wish I could be a hermit...but I am loyal to my husband of 50 years who took the "vaccine" and now suffering greatly. He is my lifelong friend and has been everything to me. His decline is breaking my heart.
"Extraordinary Delusions" covers the Witch Craze that lasted from 1300 - 1600. Dr. MacKay does not however mention that some regions in Europe were entirely depopulated of their women as a consequence. That is the depth of evil and craziness human beings are capable of. Meanwhile it is astounding to think that for thousands of years human beings did not make the connection between dirt and disease; but they didn't. Ignaz Semmelweis in 1847 was the first physician to insist on handwashing amongst other sterile procedures, what happened to him as a result is appalling. You can read about him here: "The Medical Racket" https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm
The Covid Fraudemic and the Lethal Injections are without a doubt, the most appalling crime in human history: Nothing but a scam designed to profit from premeditated mass murder; this could well become an extinction level event. And I feel for you: I recall my brother Paul, dying at 43 in 1996, blind, emaciated, scarcely able to move. We were told it was AIDS. It was actually AZT, the poisonous concoction Tony Fraudci pulled out of the wastepaper basket after the original researchers abandoned their material because it was so toxic. And most of humanity are so stupid and so blind it's dangerous even to try to draw their attention to it. I now live like a hermit, shunning human contact as much as possible.
Yup...Dr. Peter Duesberg wrote an excellent (though long) expose' of that regrettable affair. INVENTING THE AIDS VIRUS....goes into great detail....about 500 pages worth...but it is readable and totally on target. He left no turd unstoned and that includes the ludicrous Dr. Fauci and his minions at NIH. This fictional "disease" was invented so drug companies could make a lot of money.....Some say it was the "litmus test" for the Big Event...which was foisted upon us in 2021.
Dear Manny, This is all ineffably sad. The faces of those men in that press conference are reminiscent of Vietnam prisoners of war.....I keep expecting to see morse code eye blinking except there is no one there to save them and save us all....
This bit of video gives me fresh insight into why no one ever exposes whatever new nightmare is going on....and back then these men had the excuse that they needed to do their performance in order to 'beat the communists...' more reason not to expose the ruse.
Indeed, you sum this up eloquently -- it is truly and deeply sad. I can hardly describe how I felt when I saw through this ruse for myself. Thank you for commenting.
Somewhat like what I felt when I realised Mark David Chapman – John Lennon's murderer – is in all likelihood a "Manchurian Candidate": The instant he shot Lennon, he sat down on the curb, pulled out a copy of "The Catcher in the Rye" and read it until the police took him away... 😳
PS I felt "stunned" and then "chilled to the bone"... 🙄
I did not hear the comment about "Catcher in the Rye"...how bizarre--
John Lennon advocated WORLD PEACE.....and for that he got the death sentence by our lordly "betters". He was making too much noise and people loved him.
Via "The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language", 5th Edition:
kăk″ĭ-stŏk′rə-sē, kä″kĭ-
noun
Government by the worst, least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
You look at Justine Castreau up here in Canuckistan, or that pants-shitting pedophile in The Whitehouse: They're typical of what's in charge in all our countries.
You'll find that story about Mark David Chapman in Wade Frazier's monumental "A healed planet": https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm. Here's the relevant paragraph:
"Besides working for a CIA front organization, strange events surround Mark David Chapman’s shooting of Lennon. Chapman originally purchased a plane ticket to Chicago, but ended up in New York. There were days of unaccounted time. When Chapman signed Lennon's name in Hawaii when he quit his job, it was odd. There is little evidence that Chapman was particularly interested in Lennon from a fan's point of view. Chapman was a big fan of Todd Rundgren, but Chapman was not even as big a Lennon fan as I am. What was going on in his head? Were his handlers preparing him for the deed in Chicago? Immediately after he gunned Lennon down, he sat down on the curb, reached into his pocket, pulled out The Catcher in the Rye and began reading it, a kind of Manchurian Candidate behavior one encounters if they begin looking into MKUltra and related programs. Chapman did not act crazy when he was in prison.[69] "
Interesting article. It is appropriate to question, indeed one investigator measured the entry hatch into the capsule on display and could see that it would have been impossible to get in and out with a space suit. One assumes the astronauts threw their gear out the door and climbed into it outside. There are many questions that need answers.
James McCanney says that the Soviets orbited the moon before Sputnik and they had several dead animals and cosmonauts to show for it, justifying their abdication from the race long before NASA entered it.
It gets especially great at 27:40, starting with the part of the press conference about the stars where they juuuust can’t seem to remember if they saw stars, and then think no they didn’t. The narrator says that Michael Collins’s memory somehow improves years later when he talks all about seeing the stars in his book on the moon expeditions.
At 42:12 it shows an older Neil Armstrong talking at the 25th anniversary of the “moon lading” in 1994 and telling a group of students “We have only completed the beginning. We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers.” How cryptic is that, and as the narrator says, he IS that layer.
My favorite part is at 32:03 when you get to see accidentally leaked footage of the astronauts actually pretending to be 130k mikes away and then revealing that they’re within the earth’s atmosphere.
And now on to a topic that may make me look crazy, but I don’t care as I know for certain that I am not crazy. I felt the same personal surprise and personal awakening as you a couple years ago. It all started when I saw “flat earthers” referred to in a couple of articles I was reading about the ‘vaccine’. I thought to myself that is THE STUPIDEST thing I’ve ever heard, but my curiosity was peaked and I went bigtime into researching that topic. I came out shocked, completely sobered, and filled with a greater peace than I’ve ever had before upon learning something in my life. People throw up a huge think wall and are afraid to even jump down that rabbit hole, but once you do it’s undeniable that the facts of a globe earth do NOT add up, and furthermore any facts that we are using to justify all we’ve been indoctrinated with come from the very indoctrinators themselves - and these are scientific “facts” that normal humans have no way of proving or disproving so they have us where they want us in order to manipulate us.
I’ll summarize from a spiritual perspective that I truly believe Satan is lying about where we are to hide that we are created to be in an intimate relationship with our Creator. He’s doing all he can to destroy our connection with God Almighty because he is a supreme liar. If we think we live on a spinning ball in a huge dark empty infinite vacuum of space, then we are very prone to think we are just insignificant specks and nothing really matters. HOWEVER, the Holy Bible says exactly the opposite, that we are incredibly special and loved and created to be connected in a beautiful relationship with Jesus.
There’s a substack writer, Gregory Lessing Garrett, who studied astrophysics and has all the intelligence and knowledge to dispute and dissolve the globe earth lies with actual facts, in case anyone wants to look into it. I highly recommend it because it is SO freeing knowing where we truly live, even if we can’t be 100% certain of all the specifics - when you hear this presented and you go outside and see and feel what you ACTUALLY do observe in your world, it is one of the most freeing things in this lifetime to understand the truth.
i woke up to this a different way when i found out how nasa scrapped the entire mission control center. imagine:
robert fulton, 1807: "this steamship thing is smoky and messy. everybody wants to take the slow scenic sailing ship route across the river from manhattan to brooklyn. i'm just going to dismantle the whole thing."
louis bleriot, 1896: "who wants to fly through the air at 25 mph? it's scary! maybe people will want to drift along in a balloon for a few minutes, but in an airplane? gonna shut this whole thing down and let those crazy guys in north carolina take credit for it!"
steve jobs, 1976: "i don't see a future in digital technology. these personal computers will never be more than a luxury item. besides, it takes way more skill to pay pinball! I'm taking the whole thing to the landfill!"
So they had to say you couldn't see stars from the moon ,uh, since they didn't make the moon dune buggy movie, no stars allowed....censored for our safety and effectiveness
I think when folks state, uh, the word uh, or alternately a delay and pause in giving an answer, indicates, as Garland Nixon says, getting time to formulate a response, uh. I e, lying.
Uh is the cue word, if I say, uh, the sky is polka dotted, uh, that might be true, might not.
Skypainting gave us rain today. I have to wonder does it rain naturally at all anymore? Maybe on the moon ?
They couldn't see stars from the moon cause it was raining....uh, I guess
indeed! Stars -- what stars? Oh, THOSE stars? I don't recall .....
The very first thing I would have been doing is looking up at a spectacle so magnificent it would have been breathtaking, something impossible to see from Earth .... but that's just me.
The use of the word 'uh', generally speaking can speak to many things. A bad habit, an awkwardness.... and on and on. I would be careful of attributing great meaning to it, especially in this moment in history as many struggle with their emotional well being.
It's a thought from me, not something you need to hear or understand.
I didn't listen to the video. (don't have the data to stream it)
In what grasshopper was speaking to in this context it makes sense. I just get concerned at generalizations.
Like all the 'tells' to know if someone is lying. They are likely too simplistic a way to know and in so being a bit of a dangerous way to think. Sometimes people who lie or manipulate as a matter of course have no 'tells' at all. (just speaking from my tiny personal experience)
The moon fraud has been adopted by the fraudsters as having been the admission that Kubrick did make the movies of the moon landing, to portray what couldn't have been seen in reality due to a lack of television technology. If we'd had the technology to show what was happening on the moon in real time, we could and would have had the technology to show what was happening in Vietnam likewise, which would shown the protests in real time, as well.
Oh Jeezuz Gawd!! I fully expect to wake some day soon only to find that "experts" have "discovered" that we were in fact amphibians all along, not mammals. and of course nobody will blink now, will they? We will simply revise what little is left of our minds and trudge along toward oblivion.
I'm reminded of passages like this from our robust inheritance of cautionary literature:
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too - in some more double complex way, involving doublethink - Syme, swallowed it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”
It's a particularly difficult epiphany to come to the realization that you were born into a hallucination already in mid-flight.
At the time of last Saturday's New York Times issue? I don't know. I've learned not to ask uncomfortable questions. Ya know - like "Excuse me sir, how do you know its SAFE & EFFECTIVE for pregnant women"?
That awkward moment where you have to explain your crucifixion joke.
Do you find crucifixion amusing, sir?
Well, thanks for asking. As a matter of fact...[legal transcript mostly redacted with black pen]...and so on. Hey, have you heard the one about the two Italian guys in miniskirts and they're crucifying a Jew?
Sir, that's the Bible, and there are no jokes in the Bible.
Yeah - I guess 'jokes', like medicine and so many other human endeavors, should now come with interpretation protocols. Or perhaps we can defer to algorithms for our sense of humor. The question to ask, I suppose, is "Would Ray Kurzweil laugh?" O, Brave New World!
I mentioned Darwin's evolution theory (which I thought didn't make any sense and thus flunked my uni. assignment). we didn't evolve from apes, apes didn't evolve from frogs or fish and the dinosaurs....well.... ever seen a genuine archeological left-over bone, anywhere? didn't think so either (museums only exhibit models). thank you for your patience, but this sceptic's rant is now over :-))
"In a study published today (just last week, seriously) in Current Biology, researchers report that female frogs blink—and often wink—at them, a subtle gesture...that encourages the males to assume a mating position. Further experiments confirmed that male frogs were more likely to approach blinking females than unblinking ones."
So what I'm hearing is that male researchers assume the position when female frogs wink at them. Therefore my question is, how do they know that they're females without flipping them over?
Since delving into things, starting with mRNA injections, other so called pandemics, I've also learned about the hoax moon landing as well as other incidents. I too was a teenager at that time and how we were in awe of this magnificent achievement, never, ever questioning anything. Small screen black and white TVs hid the details of the spacecraft, which, on seeing it on the truth videos, looks more like some boys made out of ccardboard, cooking foil and lots of tape! How could they even communicate with earth? For many who still think the pandemic was real (and not just the latest one), knowing about the moon hoax may open their eyes to see what's really going on. The Russians obviously were part of this too.
Thanks for this. It is good to talk about all the bullshit. Today in Aussie an unimaginable thing happened. Seven people lost their lives. Three family members and four friends all contacted me, and in their different ways, expressed their hope that no agenda was to be attached. I think how sad that we can't all just grieve. The lies must stop.
They must have been terrified to be caught in a lie if they had to name the constellations they would have seen and describe new ones they might have seen....
Manny-- when do we all stop losing our innocence? When do we touch down in reality? 9/11 was such a shock for me when it occurred. I had to confront a level of evil I never fully integrated into my world view. That evil I saw was men wantonly killing several thousand other human beings..
But wait! I was looking at the wrong men? It wasn't men from another culture, raised on hate and driven to kill their perceived enemies due to the primitive and warped nature of their ancient religion and lack of training and opportunity? It was actually 'civilized men'--responsible for the welfare of billions of innocent humans. Actually plotting and executing driving planes (or pretending to) through skyscrapers....
Now I have to discover another layer of innocence and slough it off like a dead snakeskin. can we actually grow enough individually within our given lifetimes to reach maturity, face reality and rescue the world? Do we want to?
Yes, we can and we must grow, and we will. But we must recognize a depth of evil that is nearly beyond imagination. Stay strong and carry the torch of goodness despite all else.
It was 'men from another culture' ... but because they ... for the most part ... look, and act 'just like us' ... in what we call a 'Western' culture/society ... we think nothing of letting them hold 'dual nationality' passports ... pledge allegiance to another country ... operate, own, control the biggest most powerful entities in our World ... completely undermine our democracy ... and our political system ... and we're not allowed to criticize them ... one little bit ...
(Sorry ... that's just NZ ... God knows what they get up to in America!)
9/11 was the big wake-up call ... of the true nature of the ideology destroying us ... it's not actually hidden ... it's just few take the time to look at it ... peel it back ... and reveal it's horror ...
They ... 'are not us!'
And we are seeing that ... every day at the moment ...
We should have been seeing it ... every day ... for at least the last 120 years ...
It seems incomprehensible (or at least difficult to understand) to send the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) that arrived in Mars orbit on March 10, 2006 with a high resolution camera (HiRISE) capable of resolving surface detail at the level of 0.25 to 1.3 m/pixel [30 cm/pixel] https://www.uahirise.org/specs/) covering 1% of the Martian surface during the 2-year Primary Science Phase (PSP) beginning November 2006 (McEwen, A. S., et al. 2007), while apparently dodging a considerably easier and presumably surpassing technical opportunity afforded by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) launched three years later in 2009.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) delivered a wide angle camera that provided imaging to construct a 100-m/pixel lunar global map with incidence angles between 55deg –75deg (except at in polar regions, where incidence angles are always higher). The LRO narrow angle imaging will provide the necessary data (0.5 m/pixel imaging) needed to apply proven techniques to estimate regolith thickness and other key parameters (Robinson MS et al. Space Sci Rev 2010;150: 81–124) see also, https://www.lroc.asu.edu/about/specs
Did I miss something, or did NASA appear to pass up an opportunity to image each Apollo landing site with compelling crystalline clarity?
Having engaged an interest in the many associated orbital and surface images of Mars for nearly 20 years, an apparent discrepancy between MRO pixel resolution and LRO 'selected' resolution (in spite of the latter possessing technical superiority and the advantage of very close proximity) has appeared concerning though it does appear addressed. Images of the various Apollo landing sites is provided by https://www.lroc.asu.edu/images/videos
"A collection of lunar videos created by LROC team members using lunar image mosaics and data derived from Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) and Wide Angle Camera (WAC) products. Digital Elevation Maps (DEMs) were created using a combination of LROC and Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimiter (LOLA). For more mosaics of the Moon and other amazing team products, visit the LROC archive and browse the Reduced Data Record (RDR) catalog."
It rather looks as though direct confirmatory evidence may have to await a repeat visit?
You only missed a teeny typo and I only mention it because in addition to offering wisdom you've offered excellent prose, something engineers tend not to have at their disposal. The typo is an extra preposition in this phrase:
"except at in polar regions"
I was also interested to learn from you that visual information could come in units smaller than a pixel, which to my English-major brain is like splitting the atom. In other news, I'm happy to see the word 'regolith', which I gleaned decades ago from, hmm, maybe some Kim Stanley Robinson novels.
This may seem totally off-topic, yet I wonder if it may not be..
As I was reading your post, I was given to wonder, where does this leave us, with stories that have sustained humanity such as Christ's virgin birth, his death upon the cross for our redemption, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension? From there I recalled my reading of Colin Wilson's stories of St. Joseph of Cupertino, "the flying monk" who in a transport of religious ecstasy would spontaneously levitate and fly about the church; moving one German Protestant who witnessed this, to convert to Catholicism – quite a step to take in the 17th century – and also of the 19th Century Scottish medium Daniel Dunglas Home who was also able to levitate – with the assistance of his spirit guides.. Total nonsense of course... Except they did these things in front of hundreds of witnesses... 😳
Thus with regard to the Moon Landings – yet another example of Trickster Phenomena – I draw your attention to George Hansen's book, "The Trickster and the Paranormal"... as a psychiatrist it may intrigue you. It's dense, it's scholarly, took me three running tries to finally read it. Worth the effort.
Thanks, Captain -- yes, let's say this. NASA knew fully well it was drawing upon the various miracles stories that have sustained mankind for millennia ... We all aspire to believe in Magic. Leaving aside the religious myths and arguments over them, take a look at children's cartoons, for example .... Appreciate your commentary!
The moon fraud can be amply disproved by one simple fact: due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon to buffer the temperature extremes inherent in "outer space"...the side of the ship in the sunlight would be over 1000 degrees F...and the dark side absolute zero. There is no material for space suits that could protect against those extremes. Nor could the ship itself protect.
Also you could not bring enough oxygen to survive for that length of time.
Very good point. Add battery power for the Personal Life Support Systems ... the Rover ... the film (Kodak Ektachrome), the astronauts prey to micrometeorites, the temperature differential for them, the lack of space in the landing module to change into and out of their suits, and on and on and on ..... Thanks for commenting.
Neil Young was the ultimate defender of Upton Sinclair's “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
I'm amazed that no one caught my error, calling Neil Armstrong, Neil Young.
I caught it, just figured it was a slip of the pen. Neil Young has, incidentally, turned out to be quite the covidian .... https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jan/27/who-chief-backs-neil-young-over-covid-misinformation-row-with-spotify-joe-rogan
Sadly Neil has gone totally wonky, past his use by date by at least 10 years
Yeah that's kind of sad. As for all the Neils, they slip around for me. Diamond, Young, Armstrong. I suppose Neil Gaiman was too young to write the landing for them.
I thought that you were referring to the man’s support of jabs while his songs were being sold for a motza to Blackrock.
I doubt if Neil Young has ever been involved in the sale of his music, leaving that to his manager, ASCAP, and BMI.
https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/neil-young-music-catalog-hipgnosis-investment-1110037/
I love the old Neil Young as a rocker but Armstrong, just a puppet, he did punch a chap that questioned him.
I don't remember Neil Armstrong doing so, but "On September 9, 2002, astronaut Buzz Aldrin—the second human to set foot on the moon—is walking outside a Beverly Hills hotel when a conspiracy theorist starts harassing him and accusing Aldrin of lying about the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Why, David, this is one of the few places I do show up.
Damn, I wouldn't mind that either!
Absolutely and why the Russians didn't try landing a human. Thank you.
The LEM was made of a perfect insulator?

It is almost too horrifying to believe. But we must face the truth and live with it if we are ever to move forward....I wish I could be a hermit...but I am loyal to my husband of 50 years who took the "vaccine" and now suffering greatly. He is my lifelong friend and has been everything to me. His decline is breaking my heart.
"Extraordinary Delusions" covers the Witch Craze that lasted from 1300 - 1600. Dr. MacKay does not however mention that some regions in Europe were entirely depopulated of their women as a consequence. That is the depth of evil and craziness human beings are capable of. Meanwhile it is astounding to think that for thousands of years human beings did not make the connection between dirt and disease; but they didn't. Ignaz Semmelweis in 1847 was the first physician to insist on handwashing amongst other sterile procedures, what happened to him as a result is appalling. You can read about him here: "The Medical Racket" https://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm
The Covid Fraudemic and the Lethal Injections are without a doubt, the most appalling crime in human history: Nothing but a scam designed to profit from premeditated mass murder; this could well become an extinction level event. And I feel for you: I recall my brother Paul, dying at 43 in 1996, blind, emaciated, scarcely able to move. We were told it was AIDS. It was actually AZT, the poisonous concoction Tony Fraudci pulled out of the wastepaper basket after the original researchers abandoned their material because it was so toxic. And most of humanity are so stupid and so blind it's dangerous even to try to draw their attention to it. I now live like a hermit, shunning human contact as much as possible.
Yup...Dr. Peter Duesberg wrote an excellent (though long) expose' of that regrettable affair. INVENTING THE AIDS VIRUS....goes into great detail....about 500 pages worth...but it is readable and totally on target. He left no turd unstoned and that includes the ludicrous Dr. Fauci and his minions at NIH. This fictional "disease" was invented so drug companies could make a lot of money.....Some say it was the "litmus test" for the Big Event...which was foisted upon us in 2021.
Dear Manny, This is all ineffably sad. The faces of those men in that press conference are reminiscent of Vietnam prisoners of war.....I keep expecting to see morse code eye blinking except there is no one there to save them and save us all....
This bit of video gives me fresh insight into why no one ever exposes whatever new nightmare is going on....and back then these men had the excuse that they needed to do their performance in order to 'beat the communists...' more reason not to expose the ruse.
Indeed, you sum this up eloquently -- it is truly and deeply sad. I can hardly describe how I felt when I saw through this ruse for myself. Thank you for commenting.
Somewhat like what I felt when I realised Mark David Chapman – John Lennon's murderer – is in all likelihood a "Manchurian Candidate": The instant he shot Lennon, he sat down on the curb, pulled out a copy of "The Catcher in the Rye" and read it until the police took him away... 😳
PS I felt "stunned" and then "chilled to the bone"... 🙄
I did not hear the comment about "Catcher in the Rye"...how bizarre--
John Lennon advocated WORLD PEACE.....and for that he got the death sentence by our lordly "betters". He was making too much noise and people loved him.
Have you ever heard of the word "Kakistrocracy" ?
Via "The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language", 5th Edition:
kăk″ĭ-stŏk′rə-sē, kä″kĭ-
noun
Government by the worst, least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
You look at Justine Castreau up here in Canuckistan, or that pants-shitting pedophile in The Whitehouse: They're typical of what's in charge in all our countries.
You'll find that story about Mark David Chapman in Wade Frazier's monumental "A healed planet": https://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm. Here's the relevant paragraph:
"Besides working for a CIA front organization, strange events surround Mark David Chapman’s shooting of Lennon. Chapman originally purchased a plane ticket to Chicago, but ended up in New York. There were days of unaccounted time. When Chapman signed Lennon's name in Hawaii when he quit his job, it was odd. There is little evidence that Chapman was particularly interested in Lennon from a fan's point of view. Chapman was a big fan of Todd Rundgren, but Chapman was not even as big a Lennon fan as I am. What was going on in his head? Were his handlers preparing him for the deed in Chicago? Immediately after he gunned Lennon down, he sat down on the curb, reached into his pocket, pulled out The Catcher in the Rye and began reading it, a kind of Manchurian Candidate behavior one encounters if they begin looking into MKUltra and related programs. Chapman did not act crazy when he was in prison.[69] "

Just saw this...."why don't foreigners challenge the America space program" is covered in this video
Interesting article. It is appropriate to question, indeed one investigator measured the entry hatch into the capsule on display and could see that it would have been impossible to get in and out with a space suit. One assumes the astronauts threw their gear out the door and climbed into it outside. There are many questions that need answers.
What made me question the trip to the moon was the amount of radiation they would experience.
There's no way they had shielding as it would require heavy lead or water in the walls of the walls.
Some claim the radiation was survivable but it seems like a big stretch!
James McCanney says that the Soviets orbited the moon before Sputnik and they had several dead animals and cosmonauts to show for it, justifying their abdication from the race long before NASA entered it.
Curious that Russia never commented on the alleged achievement by the US. There is much more to politics than we can ever imagine
That was before Russia was a country instead of a Union.
Superb stack, thanks.
Thank you
Just to add to the misery of your piquant epiphany: Tom Lehrer's "Werner Von Braun" who, by the way, held the rank of Sturmbannführer in the SS...😘
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjDEsGZLbio
yes, this is absolutely brilliant!!! I'm chuckling again
haha ha...Love Tom Lehrer--what a genius and so mild about it.
You might enjoy this guy Capt. Roy

Von Braun was paperclipped, correct?
If by "paperclipped" you mean hired by the OSS along with a bunch of other Nazi fugitives after World War II, yes...
OK, thnx. some references to Operation Paperclip describe it in terms of a verb.
Thanks for this great post!! One of my friends sent this to me for my collection on the NASA lies.
My favorite video on the faked moon Landing is Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon:
https://youtu.be/xciCJfbTvE4?si=0vxCRDWyVJI1h5vF
It gets especially great at 27:40, starting with the part of the press conference about the stars where they juuuust can’t seem to remember if they saw stars, and then think no they didn’t. The narrator says that Michael Collins’s memory somehow improves years later when he talks all about seeing the stars in his book on the moon expeditions.
At 42:12 it shows an older Neil Armstrong talking at the 25th anniversary of the “moon lading” in 1994 and telling a group of students “We have only completed the beginning. We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers.” How cryptic is that, and as the narrator says, he IS that layer.
My favorite part is at 32:03 when you get to see accidentally leaked footage of the astronauts actually pretending to be 130k mikes away and then revealing that they’re within the earth’s atmosphere.
And now on to a topic that may make me look crazy, but I don’t care as I know for certain that I am not crazy. I felt the same personal surprise and personal awakening as you a couple years ago. It all started when I saw “flat earthers” referred to in a couple of articles I was reading about the ‘vaccine’. I thought to myself that is THE STUPIDEST thing I’ve ever heard, but my curiosity was peaked and I went bigtime into researching that topic. I came out shocked, completely sobered, and filled with a greater peace than I’ve ever had before upon learning something in my life. People throw up a huge think wall and are afraid to even jump down that rabbit hole, but once you do it’s undeniable that the facts of a globe earth do NOT add up, and furthermore any facts that we are using to justify all we’ve been indoctrinated with come from the very indoctrinators themselves - and these are scientific “facts” that normal humans have no way of proving or disproving so they have us where they want us in order to manipulate us.
I’ll summarize from a spiritual perspective that I truly believe Satan is lying about where we are to hide that we are created to be in an intimate relationship with our Creator. He’s doing all he can to destroy our connection with God Almighty because he is a supreme liar. If we think we live on a spinning ball in a huge dark empty infinite vacuum of space, then we are very prone to think we are just insignificant specks and nothing really matters. HOWEVER, the Holy Bible says exactly the opposite, that we are incredibly special and loved and created to be connected in a beautiful relationship with Jesus.
There’s a substack writer, Gregory Lessing Garrett, who studied astrophysics and has all the intelligence and knowledge to dispute and dissolve the globe earth lies with actual facts, in case anyone wants to look into it. I highly recommend it because it is SO freeing knowing where we truly live, even if we can’t be 100% certain of all the specifics - when you hear this presented and you go outside and see and feel what you ACTUALLY do observe in your world, it is one of the most freeing things in this lifetime to understand the truth.
Thank you very much, and yes, A Funny Thing is immense ..... that work is a linchpin.
i woke up to this a different way when i found out how nasa scrapped the entire mission control center. imagine:
robert fulton, 1807: "this steamship thing is smoky and messy. everybody wants to take the slow scenic sailing ship route across the river from manhattan to brooklyn. i'm just going to dismantle the whole thing."
louis bleriot, 1896: "who wants to fly through the air at 25 mph? it's scary! maybe people will want to drift along in a balloon for a few minutes, but in an airplane? gonna shut this whole thing down and let those crazy guys in north carolina take credit for it!"
steve jobs, 1976: "i don't see a future in digital technology. these personal computers will never be more than a luxury item. besides, it takes way more skill to pay pinball! I'm taking the whole thing to the landfill!"
So they had to say you couldn't see stars from the moon ,uh, since they didn't make the moon dune buggy movie, no stars allowed....censored for our safety and effectiveness
I think when folks state, uh, the word uh, or alternately a delay and pause in giving an answer, indicates, as Garland Nixon says, getting time to formulate a response, uh. I e, lying.
Uh is the cue word, if I say, uh, the sky is polka dotted, uh, that might be true, might not.
Skypainting gave us rain today. I have to wonder does it rain naturally at all anymore? Maybe on the moon ?
They couldn't see stars from the moon cause it was raining....uh, I guess
indeed! Stars -- what stars? Oh, THOSE stars? I don't recall .....
The very first thing I would have been doing is looking up at a spectacle so magnificent it would have been breathtaking, something impossible to see from Earth .... but that's just me.
Maybe in this instance the word 'uh' is a tip off to question. But generally speaking I don't think it is.
People who know what they want to say generally don't need to use it, that word, uh. Is it in the dictionary?
The use of the word 'uh', generally speaking can speak to many things. A bad habit, an awkwardness.... and on and on. I would be careful of attributing great meaning to it, especially in this moment in history as many struggle with their emotional well being.
It's a thought from me, not something you need to hear or understand.
I just hoped you might.
it could've been edited out before the interview's transmission.
Hi Mary Lou,
I didn't listen to the video. (don't have the data to stream it)
In what grasshopper was speaking to in this context it makes sense. I just get concerned at generalizations.
Like all the 'tells' to know if someone is lying. They are likely too simplistic a way to know and in so being a bit of a dangerous way to think. Sometimes people who lie or manipulate as a matter of course have no 'tells' at all. (just speaking from my tiny personal experience)
some are cleverer at it than others and it often requires further sleuthing to arrive at a more truthful level. here's a well-known clip from Buzz Aldrin saying we never went to the moon - https://rumble.com/vd9n1r-buzz-aldrin-on-why-we-didnt-go-to-the-moon.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=2&e9s=rel_v1_b
The moon fraud has been adopted by the fraudsters as having been the admission that Kubrick did make the movies of the moon landing, to portray what couldn't have been seen in reality due to a lack of television technology. If we'd had the technology to show what was happening on the moon in real time, we could and would have had the technology to show what was happening in Vietnam likewise, which would shown the protests in real time, as well.
Oh Jeezuz Gawd!! I fully expect to wake some day soon only to find that "experts" have "discovered" that we were in fact amphibians all along, not mammals. and of course nobody will blink now, will they? We will simply revise what little is left of our minds and trudge along toward oblivion.
'Chest feeders'? 'Birthing persons'? 'Progenitrons'? (aka "children")
I'm reminded of passages like this from our robust inheritance of cautionary literature:
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too - in some more double complex way, involving doublethink - Syme, swallowed it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”
It's a particularly difficult epiphany to come to the realization that you were born into a hallucination already in mid-flight.
If we were amphibians, when did we become mammals?
At the time of last Saturday's New York Times issue? I don't know. I've learned not to ask uncomfortable questions. Ya know - like "Excuse me sir, how do you know its SAFE & EFFECTIVE for pregnant women"?
I don't remember the Romans crucifying amphibians.
It's joke, you know? It's all a joke. Absurdity. Parody. Satire. Inversion of meanings. Subversion of identity... values...that kinda thing.
I think if you can laugh in the face of all of it, you're not giving up your power to the insanity.
That awkward moment where you have to explain your crucifixion joke.
Do you find crucifixion amusing, sir?
Well, thanks for asking. As a matter of fact...[legal transcript mostly redacted with black pen]...and so on. Hey, have you heard the one about the two Italian guys in miniskirts and they're crucifying a Jew?
Sir, that's the Bible, and there are no jokes in the Bible.
etc.
I too am often in the awkward position of explaining my jokes. Sigh.
Yeah - I guess 'jokes', like medicine and so many other human endeavors, should now come with interpretation protocols. Or perhaps we can defer to algorithms for our sense of humor. The question to ask, I suppose, is "Would Ray Kurzweil laugh?" O, Brave New World!
Asking uncomfortable questions is how mankind moved out of caves.
Given the state of things, maybe its time we considered moving back in to them.
Darwin would know.
You have read origin of the species?
parts of it at university (and didn't believe it. got an F for my essay).
In the absence of Substack's ability to return to the thread, I have no idea what you are talking about.
I mentioned Darwin's evolution theory (which I thought didn't make any sense and thus flunked my uni. assignment). we didn't evolve from apes, apes didn't evolve from frogs or fish and the dinosaurs....well.... ever seen a genuine archeological left-over bone, anywhere? didn't think so either (museums only exhibit models). thank you for your patience, but this sceptic's rant is now over :-))
I hear you on that.
"In a study published today (just last week, seriously) in Current Biology, researchers report that female frogs blink—and often wink—at them, a subtle gesture...that encourages the males to assume a mating position. Further experiments confirmed that male frogs were more likely to approach blinking females than unblinking ones."
So what I'm hearing is that male researchers assume the position when female frogs wink at them. Therefore my question is, how do they know that they're females without flipping them over?
Since delving into things, starting with mRNA injections, other so called pandemics, I've also learned about the hoax moon landing as well as other incidents. I too was a teenager at that time and how we were in awe of this magnificent achievement, never, ever questioning anything. Small screen black and white TVs hid the details of the spacecraft, which, on seeing it on the truth videos, looks more like some boys made out of ccardboard, cooking foil and lots of tape! How could they even communicate with earth? For many who still think the pandemic was real (and not just the latest one), knowing about the moon hoax may open their eyes to see what's really going on. The Russians obviously were part of this too.
Thanks for this. It is good to talk about all the bullshit. Today in Aussie an unimaginable thing happened. Seven people lost their lives. Three family members and four friends all contacted me, and in their different ways, expressed their hope that no agenda was to be attached. I think how sad that we can't all just grieve. The lies must stop.
I agree with you, thank you for commenting
They must have been terrified to be caught in a lie if they had to name the constellations they would have seen and describe new ones they might have seen....
Manny-- when do we all stop losing our innocence? When do we touch down in reality? 9/11 was such a shock for me when it occurred. I had to confront a level of evil I never fully integrated into my world view. That evil I saw was men wantonly killing several thousand other human beings..
But wait! I was looking at the wrong men? It wasn't men from another culture, raised on hate and driven to kill their perceived enemies due to the primitive and warped nature of their ancient religion and lack of training and opportunity? It was actually 'civilized men'--responsible for the welfare of billions of innocent humans. Actually plotting and executing driving planes (or pretending to) through skyscrapers....
Now I have to discover another layer of innocence and slough it off like a dead snakeskin. can we actually grow enough individually within our given lifetimes to reach maturity, face reality and rescue the world? Do we want to?
Yes, we can and we must grow, and we will. But we must recognize a depth of evil that is nearly beyond imagination. Stay strong and carry the torch of goodness despite all else.
It was 'men from another culture' ... but because they ... for the most part ... look, and act 'just like us' ... in what we call a 'Western' culture/society ... we think nothing of letting them hold 'dual nationality' passports ... pledge allegiance to another country ... operate, own, control the biggest most powerful entities in our World ... completely undermine our democracy ... and our political system ... and we're not allowed to criticize them ... one little bit ...
(Sorry ... that's just NZ ... God knows what they get up to in America!)
9/11 was the big wake-up call ... of the true nature of the ideology destroying us ... it's not actually hidden ... it's just few take the time to look at it ... peel it back ... and reveal it's horror ...
They ... 'are not us!'
And we are seeing that ... every day at the moment ...
We should have been seeing it ... every day ... for at least the last 120 years ...

It seems incomprehensible (or at least difficult to understand) to send the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) that arrived in Mars orbit on March 10, 2006 with a high resolution camera (HiRISE) capable of resolving surface detail at the level of 0.25 to 1.3 m/pixel [30 cm/pixel] https://www.uahirise.org/specs/) covering 1% of the Martian surface during the 2-year Primary Science Phase (PSP) beginning November 2006 (McEwen, A. S., et al. 2007), while apparently dodging a considerably easier and presumably surpassing technical opportunity afforded by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) launched three years later in 2009.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) delivered a wide angle camera that provided imaging to construct a 100-m/pixel lunar global map with incidence angles between 55deg –75deg (except at in polar regions, where incidence angles are always higher). The LRO narrow angle imaging will provide the necessary data (0.5 m/pixel imaging) needed to apply proven techniques to estimate regolith thickness and other key parameters (Robinson MS et al. Space Sci Rev 2010;150: 81–124) see also, https://www.lroc.asu.edu/about/specs
Did I miss something, or did NASA appear to pass up an opportunity to image each Apollo landing site with compelling crystalline clarity?
You didn't miss a thing
Having engaged an interest in the many associated orbital and surface images of Mars for nearly 20 years, an apparent discrepancy between MRO pixel resolution and LRO 'selected' resolution (in spite of the latter possessing technical superiority and the advantage of very close proximity) has appeared concerning though it does appear addressed. Images of the various Apollo landing sites is provided by https://www.lroc.asu.edu/images/videos
"A collection of lunar videos created by LROC team members using lunar image mosaics and data derived from Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) and Wide Angle Camera (WAC) products. Digital Elevation Maps (DEMs) were created using a combination of LROC and Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimiter (LOLA). For more mosaics of the Moon and other amazing team products, visit the LROC archive and browse the Reduced Data Record (RDR) catalog."
It rather looks as though direct confirmatory evidence may have to await a repeat visit?
LOL, "mosaics of the Moon"
Excellent last question there. If it happened, why didn't they film it properly?
You only missed a teeny typo and I only mention it because in addition to offering wisdom you've offered excellent prose, something engineers tend not to have at their disposal. The typo is an extra preposition in this phrase:
"except at in polar regions"
I was also interested to learn from you that visual information could come in units smaller than a pixel, which to my English-major brain is like splitting the atom. In other news, I'm happy to see the word 'regolith', which I gleaned decades ago from, hmm, maybe some Kim Stanley Robinson novels.
Prose cited with references. 'Sic' not included.
Dear Dr. Garcia...
This may seem totally off-topic, yet I wonder if it may not be..
As I was reading your post, I was given to wonder, where does this leave us, with stories that have sustained humanity such as Christ's virgin birth, his death upon the cross for our redemption, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension? From there I recalled my reading of Colin Wilson's stories of St. Joseph of Cupertino, "the flying monk" who in a transport of religious ecstasy would spontaneously levitate and fly about the church; moving one German Protestant who witnessed this, to convert to Catholicism – quite a step to take in the 17th century – and also of the 19th Century Scottish medium Daniel Dunglas Home who was also able to levitate – with the assistance of his spirit guides.. Total nonsense of course... Except they did these things in front of hundreds of witnesses... 😳
Thus with regard to the Moon Landings – yet another example of Trickster Phenomena – I draw your attention to George Hansen's book, "The Trickster and the Paranormal"... as a psychiatrist it may intrigue you. It's dense, it's scholarly, took me three running tries to finally read it. Worth the effort.
Best,
Capt. Roy Harkness
Thanks, Captain -- yes, let's say this. NASA knew fully well it was drawing upon the various miracles stories that have sustained mankind for millennia ... We all aspire to believe in Magic. Leaving aside the religious myths and arguments over them, take a look at children's cartoons, for example .... Appreciate your commentary!
