General Mayhem Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 July 21st was the day that Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon. It is still hotly debated as to whether or not it was actually somewhere in the Nevada Desert. But then cynics also argue that it wasn't Shakespeare that wrote those sonnets & plays but Marlow or whoever they can contrive to fit the circumstances. And now it's being argued that the Twin Tower disaster of September 11th was a put up job. So do you think Armstrong did actually walk on the moon? Or do you believe in bus timetables too? Do I believe it happened? Well the BBC reported it as happening, so it must be true. :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Oy Oy.. I drive buses.. and no I don't belive in timetables. Buses are a very good useful service to the community. There use cuts the carbon footprint, exhaust emmisions and lessens traffic amounts. Now if we can only get rid of the passengers they will run on time.

ford 369 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 didnt the sunday sport say there was a bus on the moon or mars and if so did it run on time ,perhaps thats how Neil Armstrong really got there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Great thread! For my money - no for walking on the moon......the flag waving was bit of a give away. There are some many unanswered questions. It is interesting to note that the Russians were the first to do everything in the space race - except land on the moon............... :dunno: :whistle: :whistle: Shakespeare - no, a lot of work was written whilst he was still in nappies :whistle: September 11th - again to many unanswered question but with the research that I have done/read - it would suggest that a building wouldn't collapse like that we have a plane hitting it in the manner that it did. It is also interesting to note that they rubble was cleared so quickly that no one could so any forensic work on it........... On the BBC - it must be true I am afraid not. The BBC are the world masters at propaganda - just look at what they done during WW2. The reason why I never watch the news or read newspapers.......

General Mayhem Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 The bit about the Beeb was a tongue in cheek implication of their recent red faces with regard to the contriving of the Queen to imply that she stormed out of a photo shoot, and their outragious rigged phone in's. That and their bias towards left wing politics and their strong pro-Europe stance. An un-biased BBC, yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Mayhem Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 So no consensus as to whether or not Armstrong stepped on the moon. What about the subsequent "moon landings?" Do you think that the Americans were almost ready but knew that they wouldn't beat Kennedy's by the end of the decade deadline, so faked the first one, but the rest were for real? I mean how is the Appollo 13 flight, the one depicted in the film, explained? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well if Armstrong didn't land on the moon it has to be the world's best hoack. So here is a question with more tangible doubt. Was Gagarin the FIRST man in space or the First to survive? There is evidence of radio intercept and some radar plots that infer there were 3 previous launches. Bear in mind it was 1956/7 equipment was crude by modern standards and no satellite surveillance. :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the american 'moon landing',................it seems strainge that IF they DID land etc, that they haven't been back since.....................(well landing, I mean)....or have they :whistle: on the twin towers collapse,..............a collegue was in the states that day, within the city,.................(which is a ruddy big one.........) and whilst she didn't SEE the strikes, certainly HEARD the noise of collapse, etc, and saw the dust cloud/smoke. Not 100% sure regarding the strike on the pentigon, though................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Intresting little fact. Have you seen vidieo of the Two Towers starting to collapse? Apparently none exists. It was a radio 4 bit about false memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Sorry should have been more specific, memory you know.. What?.. Live video of the collapse.

AlienFTM Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Does this mean... theres no Easter BUNNY... :shake: I blame the aliens at Area 57 coming here and flattening our corn.. mutter..mutter Oi!!! I resemble that remark. And being the Fire Warden for Area 57, I have every right to tread any corn growing in our office. As for the flag fluttering on the moon, before they even took off, Tomorrow's World explained how the flag would flutter, because the Americans recognised that otherwise it would just hang limp and nobody would ever see it. As a conspiracy, I am sure it would have been easier to seal the hangar doors where they were faking a moon mission than to announce in advance that the flag was going to flutter.
