Hi Guys,

I thought this would interest you. Below is an interview regarding the Apollo Moon Hoax with Marcus Allen from Nexus magazine. The second link is by David McGowan author of "Programmed to Kill" also regarding the Moon Hoax. Just scroll down his page and read "Wagging the Moon Doggie." Yes, I'm sure some of you will be tempted to read Dave's Boston Bombing analysis. Please do.

Thanks Misha - you've given me a set of articles now that you consider spot on. So what I will now do is attempt to go through them one by one and apply the same sort of analysis as I did for the White videos.

I'll write my comments as I go through it so you'll basically see my thought process as it unfolds.

Here's a simple example of how a conspiracy theorist presents his/her claim to make people think that an "official" story can't possibly be correct. From Dave's site as was mentioned above, here is a paragraph:
"Anyway, I think when we left off we were discussing the highly improbable flight of Apollo 8, the very first manned launch of a Saturn V, which took flight, as I previously mentioned, on the winter solstice of 1968. The mighty Apollo spacecraft, which had failed on its last unmanned outing, purportedly flew all the way to the Moon, did ten quick laps around Earth’s nearest neighbor, and then flew back home, with every one of its 9,000,000 parts performing flawlessly." (no reference given)
Reading that, one could logically conclude to themselves "Yes, that's true. How in the world could 9,000,000 parts perform flawlessly?"
Are you aware that a Boeing 747 that billions of people have flown in has over 6,000,000 parts itself? Do all of those parts always work flawlessly? Of course not. Knowing that, I conclude that his statement was simply a waste of time and means nothing to actually looking at concrete evidence of whether or not we went to the moon.

I'm hoping that the first page was just sort of an introduction with general rhetorical questions but that he gets into the meat of it in the remaining pages. I'll try and get to page 2 tonight.
