Hoaxed Hoaxes

By Late Nite LeRoy

Overreaction can do us all in. We all pooh-poohed conspiracy theories until someone showed us some legitimate evidence. Unfortunately, one documentation does not verify them all. I have often mentioned a good web site titled TruthorFiction.com. They do a pretty good job of reviewing many rumors for verification. The only dispute I ever had with them was claiming
Jane Fonda really became a new Christian. If she is, it is unfortunate that maturity does not come instantly with salvation. She is still hanging on to a lot of old baggage, and I don't mean Ted Turner. But George W. Bush may be a new Christian also. Only those who read the Bible know that God does not allow "new Christians" to even be a deacon in the church, let alone a political leader or media celebrity.

It greatly saddens me when well meaning Christian friends start believing every new story that comes by without checking out the evidence. Spreading e-mails about legislation by Madeline Murray Ohair when she has most likely been dead for over a year now is a common occurrence. I almost bought the story of George W. Bush witnessing to a young boy until TruthorFiction.com exposed it as a hoax. When believable stories like this start surfacing without any truth to them, we need to realize where they really do originate from. the "father of lies." In the military, it's referred to as counterintelligence. In radar it's called electronic counter measures or ECM.  Satan's objective is to get us to spread his lies around and make us look as bad as him.

A grand hoax going around now claims America never landed on the moon. I will categorically claim that all the "evidence" they offer is a total fabrication itself. Their own pictures are digitally doctored. I need to inform younger readers that digital photo retouching technology did not exist in 1969. Yes, photos could be altered, but it took a lot of time and effort to custom print images to size, cut, paste, air spray, make a copy negative, then reprint your funny picture. And the end result always revealed generation loss.

I have in my possession 8"x8" prints made from first generation inter negatives from the ORIGINAL Ektachromes shot by the astronauts themselves. How did I get them? A photo lab in Dallas Texas named Meisel Photochrome had the contract to make inter negatives from the astronaut's original Ektachromes. NASA needed prints for their own study. Meisel got permission to resell additional prints to their customers. I was one of them at the time and bought a set. These prints were sold shortly after the astronauts returned. There was no time to airbrush anything. These are not retouched photos. Expected reflections are in faceplates. Everything has a shadow where it belongs. None of the claims made by the "never landed there" crowd are justified.

I could also go into great length telling personal stories I know from engineers who were intimately involved in the entire project. From the pre-Apollo missions to the actual landings, lives were affected, billions of dollars were spent and plenty of evidence remains. The late James Irwin himself, a truly born again Christian spoke at a church I belonged to. The false conspiracy theorists are just trying to make us look bad. It won't work guys. Sell your trash to the tabloids, but don't clutter my e-mail box. When 888WebToday reports on a conspiracy, we have truth behind it, not fabrication.
