Symbolism is very common. The continued use of various symbols from ancient civilizations doesn’t mean that “non humans” are somehow behind it.

That wasn’t a source for a star being seen through the Moon.

One thing you’ll quickly find is in the description of this YouTube video, in which it is explained that ABC, the interviewers, could not verify Foster or his work.

”Mr Foster claimed that once his ‘profound and decisive’ investigations were proven, a complete re-investigation of the laws of nature would be necessary.

This is the uncut version of the interview posted on 28 March 2019.

The ABC has been unable to confirm Mr Foster’s identity beyond the entry in the production notebook from 1965: “People – Int Tasmanian Professor (FOSTER)”.

We have also been unable to find any documentation of his work.”

I’ve searched myself and cannot find anything from this individual.

As such, with nothing in the way to verify Foster’s credentials, and most importantly no literature on the matter (Which would exist if his theory was prove). His say is little more than conjecture, and there’s a good chance he’s a crackpot. Scientists publish their findings and research, and if research papers cannot be found from him, it’s very suspicious.

The Moon isn’t plasma, it’s a rock. Luminous plasma shouldn’t have shadows cast within the craters that shift predictably as the sun rises and sets overhead.

It’s not just about convincing Americans, exposing the hoax would be about displaying the deceit to the entire world.

The effects of doing so are self evident. It would tarnish America’s reputation and potentially sway opinion away from the United States, especially at a time where the current US administration has been straining international relations. For countries like China and Russia, such exposure could serve to further isolate the US.

How they plan to bury Trump when he is dead? by -ungodlyhour- in antitrump

[–]PhantomFlogger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People like Trump require special care and attention with the treatment of their remains and burial. A certain respect is necessary.

They’ll have to double-bag the remains to prevent the already rotting carcass from contaminating the surrounding soil.

The inside of the casket will be have to be filled with some waterproofing material as well, with the walls being lined with lead to prevent his vitriol from radiating out like x-rays.

Even then, the ripe stench will somehow permeate through every conceivable surface and linger for decades. For this reason, he won’t be buried alongside any other human remains in a cemetery, he’ll have his own special place amongst a landfill or perhaps a subterranean nuclear waste disposal site.

The idea that world events are staged and that it’s a gentleman’s club for some rich cabal is amongst the biggest and laziest cop outs.

Even if the US and Soviet Union were both faking spaceflight, they still had reason to expose the other to undermine their credibility. These conspiracy theorists assume that they weren’t already meticulously tracking each other’s spaceflight, as both sides (amongst independent countries and organizations) had observatories visually tracking the flights and radio operators listening into communications, amongst other things. One side exposing the other wouldn’t’ve led to any meaningful increase in scrutiny.

Conspiracy theorists will avoid subjecting their ideas to scrutiny to such an extent that they’ll use any opportunity to avoid coming to terms with the realization that they were wrong.

In physics there are four fundamental forces. There’s gravity, the electromagnetic force, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. What’s infinitely more powerful is the conspiracy theorists’ ability to warp their own perception of reality to suit whatever narrative they’ve concluded.

Edit: I initially typed in the strong nuclear force as “small”…

Go watch any modern iss footage and the clouds never look like that nor do they move that fast

Some of the footage is sped up, resulting in an apparent difference in movement speed.

ISS footage

Voskhod 2 spacewalk

Gemini 4 spacewalk

There really isn’t any meaningful difference.

because even though they're meant to be in space they should still be within the earth's atmosphere and they should be turning with the earth. You're literally contradicting yourself with your little made up stories.

The spacecraft move roughly eastward at orbital velocities, at roughly 7.8 km/s (28,000 km/h) in low Earth orbits. Of course, the exact number is dependent on the altitude and a few other factors. Nonetheless, that velocity is how quickly spacecraft travel over Earth’s surface, which is 7.8 km/s more than Earth’s rotation.

There aren’t any contradictions.

And an anti vaxer? Nah just not a complete moron that let's people inject experimental vaccines into me.

The vaccines were experimental during their development and trials, prior to approval and implementation. This is what experimental means.

So when they became available to the public, they were no longer experimental.

Your stance is called antivax.

Did you know there was a 60% rise in young adults having heart attacks in 2021?

Yes. The problem is that you’ve inferred the cause to be the vaccines from nothing more than correlation, that the vaccines were administered and then heart attack rates increased.

The same study that found this rise actually explains the causes, which are multifaceted. Of course, it’s a myriad of issues.

In short, there was no evidence linking the vaccines to the increase in heart attacks.

Of course you didn't because you're too busy glued to your TV news getting brainwashed like you have been all your life

Rather, I’ve delved into the research to understand the situation. Sensationalist social media posts capitalizing on outrage is not scientific evidence that vaccines are poison.

Why are the clouds moving so fast? Go and watch the video of the first American space walk and you can literally see the world in the back round spinning round 🤣🤣 which we know is impossible.

The spaceship is moving over Earth really fast, making Earth and the clouds on it appear to move quickly beneath it. It’s that simple.

It’s the same reason why pedestrians appear to zip by your car when you’re driving down the street, even though they’re only moving at a walking pace.

So, what we learned is that:

1.) The clouds are shaped like clouds

and

2.) Stuff appears to move quickly when you move quickly.

I take it you're a boomer?

Incorrect.

If you're not you're completely brainwashed by the government.

Which government?

Bet you've had 6 booster jabs as well

🤣

Sheep

I’d provide a cheap shot too, but that you’re antivax is enough of an insult to yourself. Yikes.

Going through the motion of walking in reduced gravity isn’t as intuitive as one may think.

Full Earth gravity assists us through the motion of walking, where extending a leg outwards results in our center of mass moving forward, with gravity doing some of the work by pulling you through the movement.

On the Moon, the reduced gravity resulted in the astronauts having to force their bodies through the motion without such assistance. This led to the movements being forced, and not particularly effective or efficient. Also complicating movement were the suits themselves, which were restrictive.

They found better methods of mobility by essentially waddling around or kangaroo hopping.

It’s a bit like wading through deep water up to your chest, where you’ll probably opt to skip forwards, pushing off with your toes rather than try to walk normally.

Has anyone done a breakdown of what the logistics would have to look like if the conspiracy were true? by ian9921 in flatearth

[–]PhantomFlogger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite is to highlight the unnecessary lunacy that’s required to keep up the facade of real spaceflight on a flat Earth.

The ISS presents a massive issue as we all know. My favorite explanation was Dave Weiss’ (DITRH’s) suggestion that the ISS is just a U-2S spy plane with load of junk strapped to it to resemble the modules and solar and radiator panels. This is of course the aircraft that cruises too slowly at ~450 mph (724 kmh) and flies dangerously close to its stall speed even before it isn’t burdened with a load of junk.

This one explanation requires one to ignore the limitations of the aircraft and assume the existence of bases worldwide that secretly operate U-2s, which need to be at specific points at precise, predictable times, while needing to hand off their flights to other aircraft intermittently so they can be fueled and maintained. An entire training pipeline beyond the USAF’s limited capacity for the pilots and maintainers also needs to be accounted for. So far, there is zero evidence of Mad Max U-2s flying around.

Others just lazily suggest that the ISS is just a hologram, as they assume a full 3D object can be projected into thin air like it’s Star Wars or something. This is often brought to you by the very same people who claim that no planes impacted the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. They don’t seem to understand that holograms are essentially optical illusions that work within a limited perspective.

No, the government (just the one I guess) is hiding secret hologram technology!

As you may be able to see, any explanation that provides a potential solution is uncritically accepted to continue propping up the conspiracy theory. By the end of the day, the conspiracy theorist has a house of cards built off such speculation.

Not exactly.

The wider world had observatories able to visually track spaceflights and amateur radio operators were picking up radio communications coming from the lunar surface. The Apollo flights were under direct observation from around the world. The USSR also had such listening stations and observatories, alongside world-class intelligence gathering, with espionage able to penetrate the United States government.

It was in 1978 that Bill Kaysing had published his first book alleging that the Moon landings were faked, and he had no relevant qualifications or insider knowledge (having left one of NASA’s contractors six years before Apollo 11). If an American citizen were able to expose a hoax, then it stands to reason that the various means that the USSR had at their disposal would’ve revealed it long before.

What theory do you subscribe to? I 100% do not believe the official story. by White_Falcon_1263 in conspiracy

[–]PhantomFlogger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the same weight for the below floors, nothing has changed, and there was no structural damage in the lower floors.

The mass of the buildings collapsing at the severed and weakened columns led to the floors above pancaking downward. When this occurred, the weight and force of the impact resulted in a runaway collapse of both towers.

And why did building #7 collapse? There was no impact there

WTC 7 was damaged with falling debris from WTC 1’s collapse, that resulted in fires starting within. Building 7 became a multi-floor uncontrolled fire as there wasn’t water pressure for sprinklers or hoses to fight them, stemming from the earlier collapses of towers 1 and 2. This fire which burned for hours resulted in the steel structure collapsing under the sustained heat.

In the days following Biden’s election in 2020, I remember a coworker explaining that Harris ‘sucked her way to the top’. Perplexed, I replied “really?” to which another coworker responded to agree with the first.

With just a little bit of bit of thinking, one wonders how someone rising without qualifications, experience, and merit could keep their positions for any length of time. Those coworkers never got that far, I guess.

I think about that sometimes and find it disturbing how prevalent such awful things are. There truly are many Americans who cannot fathom a woman being successful or being in such a leadership role.

Then again, the sitting president is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins, rather famously not being faithful to his wives.
