Wagging the Moondoggie
Part I of 11 October 13, 2009 by David McGowan

"I am very well aware, by the way, that there are many, many people out there – even many of the people who have seen through other tall tales told by our government – who think that Moon hoax theorists are complete kooks. And a whole lot of coordinated effort has gone into casting them as such. That makes wading into the Moon hoax debate a potentially dangerous affair"

...I found a new source of inspiration, however, when my wife e-mailed me the recent story about the fake Dutch Moon rock,

'Moon rock' given to Holland by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin is fake
29 Aug 2009: Curators at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, where the rock has attracted tens of thousands of visitors each year, discovered that the "lunar rock", valued at £308,000, was in fact petrified wood...

which I and many others found quite amusing, and which also reminded me that I had a lot of other bits and pieces of information concerning the Apollo project that I had collected over the nine years that have passed since I first wrote about the alleged Moon landings. After taking that first look, back in 2000, I was pretty well convinced that the landings were, in fact, faked, but it was perfectly obvious that the rather short, mostly tongue-in-cheek post that I put up back in July of 2000 was not going to convince anyone else of that.

Ooopsie- Moon landing tapes got erased, NASA admits
Jul 20, 2009: The original recordings of the first humans landing on the moon 40 years ago were erased and re-used...NASA admitted in 2006 that no one could find the original video recordings of the July 20, 1969 landing...

So I contemplated taking a more comprehensive look at the Apollo program. Toward that end, I pulled up my original Apollo post along with various other bits and pieces scattered throughout past newsletters, threw in all the newer material that had never made it onto my website, and then combed the Internet for additional information. In doing so, I realized that a far better case could be made than what I had previously offered to readers...snip

...Such sentiments made me realize that the Moon landing lie is somewhat unique among the big lies told to the American people in that it was, in the grand scheme of things, a relatively benign lie, and one that could be easily spun. Admitting that the landings were faked would not have nearly the same impact as, say, admitting to mass murdering 3,000 Americans and destroying billions of dollars worth of real estate and then using that crime as a pretext to wage two illegal wars and strip away civil, legal and privacy rights.

And yet, despite the fact that it was a relatively benign lie, there is a tremendous reluctance among the American people to let go of the notion that we sent men to the Moon...

Plenty of room for a fold up dune buggy


It's Electric!




Under the lander: Where's the evidence of rocket thrust?




No lunar dust on the landing pads, eh?




Interesting antennae!

A low budget sci-fi scene or Astronauts lifting off from the moon:
NASA allegedly filmed that final lift-off



NASA claims that the camera was mounted on the abandoned lunar rover... and that the pan and zoom functions were operated remotely by the ground crew back on Earth. You couldn’t control your television from across the living room in those days, but NASA could pan and zoom a camera from 234,000 miles away. Awesome! ...Apparently there wasn’t any delay in the signal...
