(I wrote the following just before the footage was introduced which made it clear to any reasonable observer that the moontruth footage is a recently made spoof, not a 1969 original.)
INTRODUCTION
At the outset I’d just like to say, even if I did become convinced that the moon landings were faked, it is something I’d keep strictly quarantined from my views about the JFK assassination and 9/11. I’m quite happy to have it known that I don’t believe the official story about the JFK murder and 9/11, and I’m willing to defend my views about these matters, and would welcome the opportunity to do so before a public audience. The murder of JFK and the attacks on 9/11/01 were crimes which led directly to far greater crimes, and it is of the utmost importance that the original crimes be addressed in the public sphere so that corrective action can be taken.
It is far less obvious to me that the (alleged) hoaxing of the moon landings has led directly to greater crimes of the order that the JFK assassination and 9/11 have. And the simple fact is that, having investigated all three, JFK and 9/11 strike me, and I’m not alone, as being obvious cases of the wider public having an inaccurate appreciation of what actually transpired – and an inaccurate appreciation which led and continues to lead to more injustice and suffering each and every day. Whereas in the case of the moon landings hoaxes, if it were true, it was never obviously a case of the public being deceived – for after looking in depth into the matter, I am still yet to be convinced that the landings were faked – and the only immediate consequences of the exposure of these alleged hoaxes would seem to be a harsh blow to the pride of the world’s only remaining superpower.
The crimes of the JFK assassination and 9/11 make the alleged crime of the hoaxing of the moon landings either insignificant or redundant as far as the consequences for the nations of the world are concerned, and with the moon landings hoaxes, a stigma is attached which makes the proponents of such conspiracy theories look like lunatics, simply due to the fact that it is very hard to marshall evidence in support of such theories (obviously, otherwise a collective of inquiring minds would long ago have put the matter to rest), so in that sense, it is a fight that a prudent person would avoid putting their dog in.
Obviously Jack White and James H Fetzer would disagree with me on this point.
Now let’s move on to the points where I don’t buy much of the evidence that White and Fetzer cite, and where this instills in me an unwillingness to trust their judgment at all on this matter, even in cases which cause me to have remaining doubts about the official Apollo missions story.
