Why I Won't Talk To Moon Mongs

Great article with much food for thought from a Moon-mission non-believer...

> What was it that first alerted you to the fact that the entire NASA space programme was total, made up, unutterable <deleted> on stilts with a side order of unicorn horn and fairy dust?

For me it was a recording of the press conference staged by the first ‘successful’ Apollo crew not long after splashdown. They’d been on a 950,000 mile journey to the Moon, snapped that legendary ‘Earth rise’ photograph, chatted to President Nixon from space on his Oval Office landline, taken their giant steps in the dust that no man had ever trodden before, survived near certain death in the radioactive hell zone of the Van Allen belt, and still, against all odds made it safely home.

But when invited to capture the majesty and wonder of their experience they proved as sullenly inarticulate as depressed teenagers coming down from a ketamine trip at the mall. The details were a blur. They retreated into the second person. “You,” they kept saying. As in “And then what you’d see is…” Not: “And then I saw/felt/saw the most amazing…” It didn’t ring true because it so obviously wasn’t true. This was confirmed - at least to my satisfaction - by Dennis J. McCarthy, a language communication analyst who specialises in examining statements by witnesses in US courts to try to establish whether or not they are lying. The speech patterns and sentence structure, not to mention the evasiveness and contradictions, of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, he concluded, were simply not consistent with those of men who’d been on the most incredible journey in the history of mankind. They were all lying.

For me that was all the proof I needed. It struck a chord with me because my leanings are towards language and cultural analysis. Others among you may be more visually or scientifically oriented. So, if you’re in the first group you are more likely to be swayed by details like the fakeness of the moon photographs - the shadows indicating more than one light source, the inexplicable fluttering of the US flag in a supposedly wind-free vacuum. And if you are in the second by details like the impenetrability of the Van Allen radiation belt or the ‘lost’ telemetry data or the impossibility (according to Werner Von Braun - but hey as a former Nazi rocket scientist recruited by the US under Operation Paperclip what would he know?) of travelling so large a distance with such limited fuel.

Whichever way you come at “Moon missions are fake” doesn’t much matter, though. The more important point is that once you know, you can’t unknow. With each day that passes you become more and more entrenched in your scepticism. And not because, as people have accused me of being on Twitter recently, you are a ‘dumbass’ or you ‘look like a cum guzzling queer’ or you are ‘a retard who lives in his mom’s basement’ but because the ‘wizard’ spell (per Owen Benjamin) no longer works on you.

So currently the Chinese are being more honest about their flights?

James DELINGPOLE - the author of that great essay of his that I posted in this thread - has written a follow-up essay which is even more interesting and relevant. He starts that essay writing about the comments the MoonMongs article triggered, and the perfidious tactics used by Intelligence Services trained 'contributors'.

Here an excerpt of that very worthwhile article:

> The effect They - in this case the intelligence services, acting on behalf of our Satanic Overlords - are trying to achieve is ‘manufactured doubt.’

This becomes more obvious when you consider the underlying message of what this supposed ‘conspiracy theorist’ who has ‘been around the block’ is saying in his tweets.

He is saying: “C’mon guys. I’m one of you. I’m totally on your side, normally, but on this occasion, with the moon landings you’ve completely got it wrong. This stuff makes you and James look unhinged.”

And: “Look, I love this James Delingpole character as much as the rest of you. But his position on the moon landings betrays a nihilistic bleakness, a mental instability even, which should be of concern to us all.”

And: “And you know what else? It’s kind of damaging to our cause, all this crazy extremism, because it’s getting in the way of our vital mission to win over the Normies.”

Anyone who has spent any length of time in the conspiracy space will be familiar with these arguments. You’ll often find them in the comments sections below pretty much every conspiracy post. And invariably they will purport to come from someone who has long been a fan but who, on this occasion, is a little disappointed in the extreme direction you’ve taken.

I will post the link in a new thread as the subject is much broader than Moon Mongs, and although it is most relevant I also don't want to bury it in the 'Why So Many Conspiracy Theories and What to Do About Them' thread, as the subject deserves a thread of its own. Look for Everyone Is A Baddie when this triggers your interest.
