Apollo – “ Removing Truth’s

Protective Layers”
Explaining why, in the case of the Moon Landings,
technology appears to have “Gone Backwards”

 Introduction
We will look at likely motives for the fakery
We will look at
Some aspects of Apollo History
Photographic Evidence
What some of the Astronauts themselves have
said –during and after the Apollo missions
Evidence from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter -

We will also ask questions such as “how they
could possibly have got away with it”.

“Too Many People Would Have Had
Chance to Find out about the Hoax!”
This common statement kind of assumes that the whole
programme was faked –only parts of it were faked.
However, most researchers would likely agree that:
The Apollo rockets were real, and took off.
The capsules probably took the astronauts into orbit.
With this in mind, much of the effort in the programme was
taken up with work in these 2 areas, as, with 1960’ s
technology, this was still difficulty.
Once the capsule was aloft, there was only one source of
video and photo information –and that was NASA. Only
NASA was communicating with the astronauts.
Most people at NASA would never have considered they
were involved in something that was being hoaxed –they
would never question what was on the screen in front of
them.

 Paperclip, Von Braun and the
Rocket could not be built…
The “Paperclip conspiracy”was revealed in the 1980’ s and it was a
plan to “Import”Nazi rocket scientists into the US American Rocketry
programme following their work in the 2nd world war.
Was that a healthy pedigree??
One of the main scientists was Wernher von Braun.
“It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the
moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic
proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have
to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome
the earth’ s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must
still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth.
Furthermore, in order to give the expedition a margin of safety, we
would not use one ship alone, but a minimum of three … each rocket
ship would be taller than New York’ s Empire State Building [almost ¼
mile high] and weigh about ten times the tonnage of the Queen Mary,
or some 800,000 tons.”(footage from “Apollo Zero”)
-Wernher von Braun,
the father of the Apollo space program, writing in
“Conquest of the Moon”

 Gus Grissom –Meant to Be The
First Man on the Moon
If he was regarded as a "loose cannon", and he had
first hand knowledge that the space program was in
shambles, there's no telling what he might say to the
media. And if they were aware that putting a man on
the Moon by 1969 was impossible, he could expose
the entire Apollo program as a sham, a PR stunt.
(footage from “Apollo Zero”)
On January 22, 1967, Grissom made a brief stop at
home before returning to the Cape. A citrus tree grew
in their backyard with lemons on it as big as
grapefruits. Gus yanked the largest lemon he could
find off of the tree. Betty had no idea what he was up
to and asked what he planned to do with the lemon. "
'I'm going to hang it on that spacecraft,' Gus said
grimly and kissed her goodbye.“
Minutes before he and his crew died, he
complained.... "I can't hear a word you're saying," Gus
said in disgust. "Jesus Christ. I said, how are we
going to go to the moon if we can't even communicate
between two or three buildings?!?"

That “First Boot print”… Hmmm…

Can we really be sure that this is a genuine photo of a foot print on

the moon –the material looks more like flour or cement here –the
lunar dust should not bind together like this –as there is no surface
moisture…
Was this really taken with a chest-mounted camera?

 Apollo LEMmings
“Serious problems in the Valley of Taurus-
Littrow”
These 2 composite photos are from the
Apollo 17 mission and have been posted at
AULIS.COM.
They compare 2 sets of 2 images - AS17-
134-20437-20443 top composite & AS17-
147-22494-22521.
I split this image in half. I rotated the
bottom half 1 degree anti-clockwise and
resized it to 99% of the top half.
I then over-laid the 2 images and made a
video clip…
Similar or same shadow angles of the
astronaut and the LEM seem to rule out it
being taken at 2 different locations.
HOW AND WHY DID THE LEM MOVE?

CAN THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE SEE

The LEM is aprrox 4.2 meters across:
(2.1 is 4.2 divided by 2)
(Call this A)

11
CAN THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE SEE
APOLLO CRAFT ON THE MOON?
Hubble’ s resolving power is quoted at 0.05 seconds hence the
resolving angle in degrees is:

(Call this B)
If Hubble’s resolution is as fine as 0.014 seconds of arc then the
resolving angle in degrees is:

(Call this C)

12
CAN THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE SEE
APOLLO CRAFT ON THE MOON?
I would therefore agree that, according to
published figures, the angle subtended by
the 2 opposite sides of the Lunar Module is
approximately 22 times (resolution 0.05)
too small (B/A), or 6.2 (C/A) times too
small (resolution 0.014), according to the
above calculations, for Hubble to see the
Apollo Craft on the Moon. That is:
NO, HUBBLE CAN'T SEE APOLLO
CRAFT ON THE MOON THEY ARE JUST
TOO SMALL...

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)
See Apollo Craft / LEM on the Moon?
LRO was launched. The
objectives of the Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)
are to find safe landing sites for
future crewed missions, locate
potential resources, characterize
the radiation environment, and
demonstrate new technology.
LRO was launched on June 18,
2009, by an Atlas V from Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station. It
was one of two payloads carried
by the rocket, the other being
the Lunar Crater Observation
and Sensing Satellite
(LCROSS).
We will now try to establish if
the LEM can be CLEARLY
seen on the moon by LRO.

What Should LRO Images Really
Look Like?
This is NOT a totally fair
comparison, because LRO
images were taken from
orbit, but the LEM images
used were taken close up.
However, there is no
atmosphere on the moon
and the optics on LRO
should be better than
those used in 1960’ s to
take the LEM images.

 Radiation on the Moon and
During the Trip
In this presentation, I have chosen not to spend too much
time on this, as it’
s not something we can easily observe
easily for ourselves (as we can with the photo and video
record).
However, considering the levels of radiation on the moon,
where there is no atmosphere, the protection the
astronauts had does not seem adequate –compared to
what is used, for example for people working with an X-
ray machine in a hospital –such as a lead apron.
The astronauts did not have lead-lined clothing.
Others have noted the problem with travelling through the
Van Allen belts –zones of radiation outside the earth’s
magnetosphere.
However, Van Allen, who discovered them, then stated
that they must not have been as lethal as he thought –
because the Apollo astronauts had travelled to the moon
and back! i.e. it became a circular argument.
Also, radiation effects have been seen by the space
shuttle crews which are still within the magnetosphere –
only 125 miles above the earth.
25
 Other Hardware Problems
Jim Collier has noted:
LEM space too small to climb in and out of with a space suit
without breaking something on the control panel.
Lunar Rover even when folded seems to have been too big to
fit into the allocated space.
Dust did not fly up high enough during rover runs.
Additionally, what about the Air Cooling / Conditioning in
the LEM? Imagine leaving your car in a car park on a
hot sunny day for an hour. It’ s about 22C outside. When
you get in the car, it will be too hot and you will either
open the window, door or switch on A/C.
So, how was the A/C powered in the LEM for many
hours?
How were the space suits cooled in such heat?
How did the cameras and film survive THE HEAT let
alone the radiation?
26
 More Rover Hardware Problems

I was advised of the Operating Spec of the Lunar Rover…

The survival upper limit for the battery is 140F / 60C
This meant the Lunar rover could not have worked for very
long at all…
“In the day, the temperature of the Moon averages 107 C
(224F), although it rises as high as 123C (253C). “

 Buzz Aldrin
Here are some clips of what Aldrin has said.
I don’t 100% agree with the methods and approach
that researcher Bart Sibrel used (and he himself now
has some regrets), but the answers he got were
interesting…
When Bart Sibrel confronted Aldrin with the “earth
faking”shot, he said:

"You're talking to the wrong guy - we were just

passengers - guys going on a flight"

Note he did not say “on a flight to the moon.”

 Neil Armstrong - 1
On July 20th, 1994, the 25th Anniversary of the supposed
Moon Landings, Armstrong addressed the crowd and
said.

"Today we have with us a group of students,

among America's best. To you we say we have
only completed a beginning. We leave you much
that is undone. There are great ideas
undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those
who can remove one of the truth's protective
layers. There are places to go beyond belief...”

 Neil Armstrong - 2
Interviewer: You said once to a reporter “How long must it
take before I cease to be known as a space man.”Why did
you
make that comment?

Armstrong:: I guess we’ d all like to be recognized not for

one err.. piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily
work.

The interview then describes Armstrong as easy to talk to

but hard to know.
“It's a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems
quite close to you because the curvature is so much more
pronounced than here on earth. It's an interesting place to
be. I recommend it.”

 Michael Collins
(Apollo 11)
In the press conference he said

“I don’
t remember seeing any stars.”

In "Carrying The Fire" by Michael Collins, (Farrar, Straus

and Giroux, New York copyright by Michael Collins
1974) Collins says as he is getting ready to exit Gemini
10 for a spacewalk (page 221),
"My God, the stars are everywhere: above me on all sides, even
below me somewhat, down there next to that obscure horizon. The
stars are bright and they are steady. Of course I know that a star's
twinkle is created by the atmosphere, and I have seen twinkle-less
stars before in a planetarium, but this is different, this is no
simulation, this is the best view of the universe that a human ever
had."
Are we therefore to believe that, from the Command
Module, he saw no stars? 31
 Edgar Mitchell
Richard C. Hoagland and Dr. Edgar Mitchell Debate
Art Bell Show Wednesday, May 15, 1996 1 AM to 4 AM PDT
EM: Oh sure. Basically, when people asked me, "What did it feel
like to be on the moon?" Being a super rationalist and a Ph.D. and
all of that, I didn't think it was a germane question. I thought if you
ask me what did I do on the moon, or what did I think about on the
moon, I could have told you. But what I feel, I didn't know. And so I
set out to... I started thinking about that question. First of all, it
irritated me because I didn't have an answer to it, and eventually I
asked myself, "Should I know what I felt like on the moon?" So I
went to some good friends of mine, Dr. Jane Houston and her
husband Bob Master, and said help me find out what I felt like on
the moon, and that began the investigation of inner experiences for
me back in 1972 and led to the approaches that I have taken in
understanding experience and the psychic experience and all this
whole subject matter of consciousness that we've been looking at
for 25 years.

Stanley Kubrick, Barry Linden and
a Space Odyssey
A very strange documentary called “Dark Side of the Moon”made in
2002 seems, initially, to present the evidence that Stanley Kubrick
was involved in making the hoax footage.
In 1968, Space Odyssey –a very expensive movie –was released,
showing incredible (for the time) effects and sets on the moon.
“Dark Side”states that Kubrick needed a very special type of
camera for the film “Barry Linden”(a historical drama) and only
NASA had one with the right optics.
In exchange for use of the camera, it is implied Kubrick worked for
NASA on the fake moon shot.
The film features intimate footage with General Haig, Donald
Rumsfeld and Henry Kissinger –seen laughing and joking.
At the end, many of the “whistleblowers”in the story are
“unmasked”as actors, or real people reading from a script…

33
Dark Side of Disinformation
In the “Dark Side”film, I recognised the
picture shown below…
It’
s a doctored version of the Charlie
Duke photo! (AS16-117-18841)
What reason would there be for
ANYONE to go to the trouble of faking
this image and including it in a “spoof
documentary”?
i.e. someone’ s really gone to a lot of
trouble to present this hoax…
A hoax to cover up a hoax –just great!

34
Stanley Kubrick with his “Eyes Wide
Shut”Because of “The Shining”?
The Shining (1980 - some years after Apollo was “popular”) is
a disturbing (and somewhat perplexing) psychological thriller
about a man who goes mad when he looks after a hotel in the
mountains, during a long winter shut-down. It has nothing to
do with Apollo!
On his website, Jay Weidner provides a detailed discussion of
the film and notes a key scene
As Danny (Jack’ s son in the story) stands up, the answer is
revealed in an instant. Danny is wearing a sweater with a
crudely sewn rocket pictured on the front. On the rocket clearly
seen on Danny's sweater are the words: APOLLO 11.
The audience watching the film literally sees the launch of
Apollo 11, right before their eyes, as Danny rises from the
floor. It isn't the real launch of Apollo 11, it is, of course, the
symbolic launching of Apollo 11. In other words - it isn't real.
Eyes Wide Shut –another dark Kubrick film which features
several scenes about Satanic Rituals in groups within High
Society - was released (at Kubrick’ s insistence) on July
16 th 1999 - exactly 30 years to the day that Apollo 11 was
launched.
Kubrick died on March 7, 1999 –apparently 4 days after the
final print of “Eyes Wide Shut”was delivered.
His films are said to be filled with much hidden meaning –or
should that be “disclosures”. 35
http://www.jayweidner.com/ShiningSecrets.html
A Few Reasons for the Hoax…
Those that were committed to supporting Kennedy
would need a “get out”card when they realised that Gus
Grissom was right –and they were not technically
capable of the feat
Take attention off war in Vietnam!
Fuel the Cold War well!
Make America look good!
Soak up the burgeoning interest in Space Travel and
make sure it was absorbed into programs which would
achieve little –only earth orbit for manned flight (which
is all that has been repeated since).
Money for Black Programmes.

36
Additional Reasons for the Hoax
It was a great experiment in Social Engineering in the
USA –it built confidence in technology, for example and
probably contributed to people’ s wider acceptance of it.
It was a great try out for using TV POWER to make
people believe a HUGE LIE.
The “high”created then can now be “played off”against
the “low”created now when people discover it was a
hoax –this is kind of a “consciousness energy
extraction”process.

37
 Yuri Gagarin –The First Man
“Never in Space”
It was revealed in 1999 in a BBC Horizon programme
that Yuri Gagarin did not land in his capsule…

“Disorientated, Gagarin failed to follow

instructions from ground control. Though told not
to eject too early, he did, and from an
undetermined height. Deep in the countryside,
tractor driver Jakob Lashenko was working in
the fields when he was astonished to see a
figure descending from the sky”
Gagarin landed by
parachute
Can we imagine him hurtling down in his cramped
capsule… opening the door –inwards or outwards –then
safely jumping out?
38

Some Questions Harder to Answer…
There are probably a number of similar questions to the ones
below. We perhaps cannot answer these all –or answer them well
–however, any lack of definite answers does not affect the other
evidence we have seen here so far.
What about the role of “The Dish”in Australia? They relayed Apollo
Radio Communications from Space!
The TETR satellites were sent up as part of the early Apollo missions
–these simulated radio communications coming from Space.
What were all the people in Mission Control Actual Watching?
Perhaps they were watching a simulation –after all, the missions had
to be simulated before being done “for real”. How many people would
be able to tell the difference?
What about the Moon Rock?
Some people have noted how Von Braun set up a mission to collect
Meteorites from the Polar Regions. The idea is that these could be
passed off as moon rocks. (See Moon Rock Slide).

39
Ah Yes, Those Moon Rocks…
It is my understanding that many of
the “moon rocks”were ground into
a fine powder and distributed
around the world.
A few are on display in museums
with captions saying “here is a rock
from the moon”. How many people
would be able to tell if the caption
was accurate…
In at least one case, we know now
that the rock presented was fake…

40

 Did Bill Clinton Almost
Blow the Whistle?
It is interesting to wonder if Neil Armstrong’ s words prompted
a certain entry in Clinton’s autobiography “My Life”(footage
from “Apollo Zero”)…
Clinton in his 2004 autobiography, My Life, states (on page
156):
"Just a month before, Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and
Neil Armstrong had left their colleague, Michael Collins,
aboard spaceship Columbia and walked on the Moon,
beating by five months President Kennedy's goal of putting a
man on the Moon before the decade was out. The old
carpenter asked me if I really believed it happened. I said
sure, I saw it on television. He disagreed; he said that he
didn't believe it for a minute, that 'them television fellers' could
make things look real that weren't. Back then, I thought he
was a crank. During my eight years in Washington, I saw
some things on TV that made me wonder if he wasn't ahead
of his time." 42
Did they Go, but using Different
Technology?
If such secret space travel technology really does exist,
could they have used it to get there?
If what Bill Hamilton’ s source told him, maybe it’
s true.
Perhaps it’ s related to what Gary McKinnon found… (i.e.
a spreadsheet file listing ship to ship transfers of “non-
terrestrial officers”

43
 Dark Mission &
Richard Hoagland
In his Book Dark Mission, Richard Hoagland
explores how many of the dates, names and the
symbolism used in the Apollo programme have
occult significance (though Hoagland thinks that
Neil and Buzz did land in the Apollo craft and claims
he proves this in his book.)
Hoagland claims that the astronauts are secretive
about what they saw on the moon (i.e. artefacts)
He goes into some detail with regard to which
constellations were rising or setting at significant
points during the missions.
Others have noted the recurrence of Masonic
themes and numerology –for example Apollo 11
was the first successful mission.
Whilst earlier missions had modules named after
cartoon characters, Apollo 11 and later some
names such as Columbia, Aquarius, Eagle and
Falcon
44
John Lenard Walson’
s Images
No clear answers as to what these show… . (Find various videos on
YouTube).
A series entitled “Far Above Space and Time”seems to show
structured craft in orbit –stationary…
(I have discussed more about this kind of hidden technology in
“The Case for Antigravity”.)

45
 Conclusions
There are “Mucky Fingerprints”all over the Apollo record.
A trail of fakery, possible murder, lies and deception seems to be apparent.
If the astronauts went to the moon, it wasn’ t atop a Saturn 5 rocket.
The Lunar Rover is, perhaps, shows up some of the most glaring difficulties
in the Apollo record.
We seem to have few photos or video sequences where the astronauts are
clearly recognisable on the moon. (But you probably don’ t know Jack
Schmitt!)
Many people need to defend the hoax, because like the official story of
9/11, uncovering it undermines our ideas about democracy and “who is
really in charge”
One of the reasons for the hoax is for social engineering and creation of
mindset.
Another reason probably is to siphon off money in to black programmes
and distract people from thinking about much more advanced technology.
