These youtube conspiracy flicks are really good at making the moon landings look faked. Cyparagon, where are you to laugh at me over being gullible enough to give this video any credence? Hoax video instead of a hoax landing? I hope so!



Psst.... I thought it funny :p

Re: Moon Landing Hoaxed?

This video has outtakes that appear to show he was coached. Guess it comes down to which one, if any, that you choose to believe. Pretty much like many things in life.


EDIT: Found this too. Some think the Kubrick video is viral marketing for this movie. In any case, I'll probably watch the movie. I like this stuff.

Re: Moon Landing Hoaxed?

I've always laughed at the kooks who thought the moon landing was hoaxed, but these video's are sure getting convincing but that doesn't mean they still aren't BS. Some of the stuff makes points I can't disagree with, but perhaps the arguments they present are based on false data. I'm surprised I'm even entertaining the possibility any portion of the man on the moon landings were faked. I guess I better start laughing at myself now :p

Edit: Oh, I had to come back and add this:



When my wife is visiting friends and family in Ukraine, which is about 12 hours difference in time from me, and at midnight in Alaska (December) she sees the sun at near noon, what does that mean if the earth is flat? I sure don't see the sun here in Alaska at midnight, I guess it means there's an edge you flip around when going on the other side of the flat earth. Strange when flying to europe I never noticed the airline I was flying on do a quick 180 degree rolling turn. That said, when I am in Barrow, Alaska in the summer and at noon I see the sun the same time she does in Ukraine, I guess that means the earth is indeed flat :p

OK, folks, I know this might seem like a discrepancy, but from my perspective in Alaska, during the summer the earth is flat, but in the winter it turns either into a ball, or half of us are on the bottom side of the flat earth, but in that case which side is really the bottom?

He's just lip syncing:



Edit add on: The Trololo song "I am very glad, as I'm finally returning back home" (Я очень рад, ведь я, наконец, возвращаюсь домой) is now commonly associated with Internet trolling.

Re: Moon Landing Hoaxed?

Where? What? How? When? did you come up with this HaHaHaHaHa:crackup:

I don't remember how I came across it. I've known about it for quite some time though. As for the lyrics, if you want to call them that, those are not the original ones. The song originally came out during the USSR era. The original lyrics were too Western to have a chance of being published. As Alaskan said, it's basically used to call out trolling.

Why is that my job? Here, listen to Bill Nye instead:

Re: Moon Landing Hoaxed?

There's my boy, the slice and dicer Cyparagon is back, but I've never liked Bill Nye, well, I did for a long time, until I saw this:



He gets owned on TV and then after that starts lashing out at the real BS, because he couldn't win that point:



I know some girls just like that, what does that tell me about the universe? It can create very stupid people, but not all of them are blonde. Amazing to me some really think the earth is flat and that we never went to the moon.

Re: Moon Landing Hoaxed?

Most of "conspiracy theory" promotopn guys businesses like any other---people making a business and money out of creating doubts, playing on gulllible people who don't know any better it seems to me.

Found an interesting article that rings true:

"Conspiracy theory fanatics present all the symptoms of religious fanatics. Here are some of them:

1.A conspiracy theorist has "seen the light", so to speak. That is, he has seen the Truth, which the majority of other people haven't.

2.A conspiracy theorist has the absolute, irrefutable, unshakable CONVICTION that he knows the Truth, only the Truth, and nothing but the Truth. There's absolutely no doubt in his mind that what he believes is the Truth.

3.The conspiracy theorist will say things like "there's NO WAY these photos are not faked" and "there's NO WAY this is something else than controlled demolition", etc. He is absolutely sure and certain at all possible levels that he knows the truth.

4.There's absolutely nothing you can say that will convince the conspiracy theorist otherwise. You can refute every single claim he makes to absolute smithereens with hard scientific easy-to-understand facts, and that will not move his conviction even a fraction of an inch. Not even a shadow of a doubt will cross his mind at any point.

5.The doctrine which the conspiracy theorist believes is based on a series of books, web pages and "documentaries" made by some other conspiracy theorists (which are completely akin to prophets), and every single word in these works is considered the absolute Truth by the conspiracy theorist. Every single claim, no matter how small or how ridiculous, is the absolute Truth. Not a single claim is considered dubious or unimportant.

6.The conspiracy theorist has the irresistible urge to spread the Truth to others, the lost lambs who wander in darkness and still don't know the Truth, who haven't seen the light, and who must be converted.

Spreading the Truth is in no way limited to the Internet. Like the most vocal religious movements, also conspiracy theorists will organize protest marches and parades, where they will disturb the peace of completely unrelated events, they will get into TV shows to spread their convictions, they will preach to individuals at their workplaces and other places, etc, etc.

7.Trying to discuss critically the views of the conspiracy theorist will always cause a tirade of contempt and arrogant religious mongering. Trying to rationally argue against any of the claims of the conspiracy theorist is a completely futile endeavor. There's just no convincing the conspiracy theorist.

8.Like all religions, conspiracy theorists also have their big enemies. The Government is the enemy number one. The scientifical community is just an evil organization under the control of the Government, part of the system, and thus cannot be trusted.

9.Like some religions, also conspiracy theorists will twist and bend science for their own purposes, and quote science and writings of scientists completely out of context, changing the original meaning, to support their claims. When actual scientists show how the "science" of the conspiracy theorists is completely flawed, the conspiracy theorists will discredit the scientists because they are just part of the system.

Basically any scientist who opposes their views is delusional, incompetent and part of the system and thus not to be trusted, while any scientist (or anyone claiming to be a scientist) who agrees with the conspiracy theory is immediately credible and competent, and will be much quoted." ~ from Conspiracy Theory Religions
