Thank you. Such an informative article. As a recently returned member of the U. S. Armed Forces from Southeast Asia in 1968 I was also unimpressed with the ‘Look Over There’ tactics. The hypnotic power of suggestion and the entire playbook of ‘mind control’, from “How to Win Friends and Influence People” to “2001 Space Odyssey” and beyond has been with us (within us) forever.
I am always trying to get people to read “The Cultural Cold War” by Frances Stoner Saunders, subtitled ‘The CIA And The World Of Arts And Letters’……”How long has has this been going on?”….As long as we’ve been singing songs of love and betrayal.
I think that it is relevant to note that the currency was being shifted to fiat over this period as well, starting with the “Beans and Bullets” of the sixties, and the fallout that led to Nixon closing the gold window, and the eventual floating of the currency.
There was at home economic pain to distract from as well.
One of my favorite points from McGowan is how the mainstream narrative gets more tenous every year. We now have the Artemis missions that are years behind schedule to put the first woman on the moon. And in 2025 we have difficulty returning astronauts from low earth orbit let alone lunar orbit. It will be pretty tough to defend the Apollo missions when they are still unreplicated on their 100th anniversary.
...not to mention how difficult it will be to defend the so-called Mars missions. Hopefully they'll have sufficient AI generating powers to again convince a large chunk of people that it's real. After all, it's the story that counts for the masses. As for myself, I don't even think it's an object upon which you can land, but that's another tale. God won't be mocked much longer.
They were due home well before Christmas so where did they get the Christmas hats from, Amazon order? Was the intention all along to create a buzz and elevate the crew to heroes in preparation for latest launch and war on Iran?
You're right -- a strong suggestion of premeditation, a little Apollo 13 tribute perhaps. And as for the Retard War as Morgoth calls it that's really why I reposted this... are they wagging the moondoggie again?
Haven't followed it that closely; with AI image generation, the fact that NASA always edits photos, etc., images and video mean almost nothing, unless they live streamed the whole thing. The one shot of the dark side of the moon with earth behind was suspicious given how large the earth was in comparison to the small blue dot we got from the Apollo missions (which we 100% know were faked because of the Sibrel footage).
Personally I doubt the astronauts are beyond the Van Allen belts. But the real test, if they ever do get to the point of landing on the surface and showing a moon walk, is what they do or don't show of launching from the moon. That will always be the most absurd part of the enterprise. The footage from the final Apollo is a complete joke. I don't know how anyone believes the moon's gravity moves the ocean but poses no obstacle to a couple of boosters strapped to a tin can
Russia was ahead of the US in space exploration but never attempted a moon landing, perhaps because Soviet scientists saw no way to send astronauts safely to the moon and bring them back.
The main barrier, perhaps, would have been the Van Allen belts that blanket the earth in radiation fatal to humans.
Or maybe they saw no point in even attempting a manned mission when an unmanned craft could do just as well in acquiring whatever scientific information there was to be gathered on the moon.

I'm reading that now actually.

Artemis 1 & 2 thus far are both looking pretty fake and gay (to borrow Candace's term of endearment) - would you agree?

Capricorn One.. probably the only film you need to watch
