28 December 2023 — A Sad & Extraordinary Discussion from FascBuch
(pictured above: the Smithsonian’s replica Apollo Lander)
correspondent Bovgul Evfifjugs seems incredulous that people would tell him that “this thing went to space, went to the moon and took off from the moon. It has tape and rose gold foil on it ffs. Not to mention the buggy had lawn chairs,” echoing Jut Luv‘s observation that, “there’s Adults out there who believe that this tent that’s made out of tarp, plastic coat hangers and wrapped in rose gold foil, flew to space and landed on the Moon.”
I don’t know who said that the Lunar Excursion Module “flew” to the moon. It was flown AS CARGO for most of the trip. And its thin, flimsy nature was sufficient as it never had to negotiate travel in any appreciable atmosphere. For fuck’s sake, can’t people grasp arithmetic? Sure, some may think it’s preposterous. What’s more preposterous is the notion that thousands of participants and independent amateur astronomers all complied with this “hoax.”
correspondent Jedjows Luilliak agrees: “Recently my wife and I were at Kennedy space center and I said something along those lines. A convincing hoax would’ve been as difficult as actually doing it.”
correspondent Gomtjund Figyv is having none of it: “Hoaxes are extremely easy. Barely an inconvenience. Epstein’s cameras were down that day. Guards gone. He clearly hung himself. The Gulf of Tonkin incident faked. Vietnam War started because of it. 60 years later no one cares. Most don’t know. The fake Nayirah testimony was used to justify the first Iraq war. All lies.” Figy makes excellent points, but they are really irrelevant to an alleged Moon Landing hoax, an event which enjoys much wider corroboration than other revealed frauds ever could boast. Other correspondents take pains to explain that to him until finally he clarifies: “I’m not talking about the moon at all. I’m talking about general hoaxes and how easy they are for governments to use. I didn’t even bring up MK Ultra, CoIntelPro, the classified 60 year old JFK files, etc.”
Perhaps missing his point, I advise Figy that I think I’m with him in re JFK. And again, I carve my way there with Occam’s Razor. Based on my limited knowledge and possibly flawed reasoning, it appears that the LEAST UNLIKELY scenario is that Dulles & LBJ had him whacked. It is a less preposterous notion than Specter’s “magic bullet” at least. (I don’t know for certain whether “Poppy” Bush or “Will” Liddy were crouched behind that grassy knoll, but I wouldn’t rule either of them out.) Meanwhile, I also lean toward the notion of an actual Apollo Mission and the Heliocentric Model.
