			Did NASA find ancient ruins on the Moon? 
			For many years, insider witnesses to top-secret government projects 
			have been saying so… and that the Apollo missions were partly 
			intended to explore them. 
 At long last, it appears that an actual videotape of such an 
			expedition has been 'leaked' onto YouTube! See the startling 
			photographs and video for yourself!
 
 Thanks to my unique line of work, I've had the good fortune to meet 
			some very fascinating people - including those who claim to have 
			worked in government black-ops projects.
 
 One of the most fruitful examples of this was when I attended 
			
			Dr. 
			Steven Greer's Disclosure Project conference in May, 2001, in 
			Washington DC. As I said before, I lost the brakes on my car on the 
			way there, and since it was a diesel Peugeot, no service stations 
			knew what to do with it. Driving through DC rush-hour traffic, using 
			only the transmission to slow down, was quite the harrowing 
			initiation experience for what would follow.
 
			  
			Running through such an 
			initiation made the payoff all the more rewarding. 
 
 
 KARL WOLFE: 
			EYEWITNESS TO PHOTOGRAPHS OF LUNAR RUINS
 
 One of the witnesses, Karl Wolfe, testified that he was in a private 
			area of Langley Air Force Base, where the NSA was bringing in 
			information from the Moon. A fellow airman second-class showed him 
			photographs of ruins on the Moon. There were more 
			conventional-looking buildings and roads as well as dome and 
			mushroom-shaped buildings.
 
			  
			You can see an excellent, essentially 
			complete summary of his testimony on video here. You also see 
			striking examples of obvious structures that have been airbrushed 
			out:  
			  
			  
			  
			I took some screen shots so you can see 
			this for yourself. I personally met Karl Wolfe, dialogued with him 
			privately, asked questions most people hadn't, and I came away 
			completely convinced that he was telling the truth.  
			  
			More detail 
			about these airbrushed NASA lunar images, and their source files, 
			are obviously available from Jose Escamilla and on his video, but 
			the pictures tell quite a story on their own.  
			  
			The white lines were 
			drawn in by the videographer to show where the blurry areas are - 
			but in the following pictures you get a closer look at various 
			examples:  
			  
			
			
			  
			
			   
			  
			In "Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain," a book that can 
			still be ordered, there are Russian photographs of obvious obelisks 
			on the Moon's surface.  
			  
			In this case you look down at them from 
			overhead, unlike the airbrushed images above. The structures are 
			very tall, very straight and you can see what they are by the shadow 
			they cast.  
			  
			Furthermore, there were three of them in the original 
			image, mirroring the arrangement of the three pyramids in Egypt.  
			  
			Of 
			course, this means that they were built in dedication to the three 
			stars in the belt of the constellation Orion, just as the 
			Great 
			Pyramid and its neighbors appear to have been. 
			  
			 
			  
			If you have a scanned copy of the 
			obelisk pictures from this book, please send it along so I can 
			include it. I found that this book is not in my collection so I 
			can't upload any images - none exist online. 
 
 
			
			
 RUINS BROUGHT 
			BACK FROM THE MOON DISPLAYED IN TIBET?
 
 Another intriguing set of clues that humanity had ancient contact 
			with the Moon can be found in 
			an article by 
			Jonathan 
			Gray:
 
				
				"In 1926, Professor A. W. Bickerton 
				declared the concept of shooting at the moon to be foolish and 
				impossible. In 1935, the noted astronomer F. R. Moulton wrote 
				that man could never travel in outer space. In 1957, Dr. Richard 
				van der Riet Wooley (former Astronomer Royal) called the idea of 
				space travel "utter bilge." Eight months later Sputnik I was 
				orbiting the earth. 
 In a remote northern area of Tibet lie the ruins of the Hsing Nu 
				capital, discovered by Duparc in 1725. Within the city, Duparc 
				came upon a mass of monoliths (once coated with silver), a 
				pyramid, part of a tower of blue porcelain, and a royal palace, 
				containing thrones with sun and moon images. There was also a 
				large milky white stone surrounded by exquisite drawings.
 
 Now for the stunning sequel. In 1952, a Soviet expedition 
				arrived. The group was shown by Tibetan monks some ancient 
				documents, whose descriptions agreed with those of Duparc.
 
 But here is the breathtaking part: the milky white stone, so 
				said the documents, was "brought from the moon." Moon rock? Is 
				it possible? COULD MAN ACTUALLY HAVE LEFT THIS EARTH AND GONE TO 
				THE MOON IN AGES PAST? Was space travel a natural adjunct to his 
				civilization? Are there clues?
 
 Indeed there are. Indications of the reality of ancient space 
				travel do come from widely separated parts of the world. Written 
				and oral tradition is widespread - and, it seems, reliable."
 
			The article goes on to describe a series 
			of specific examples that establish a case for humanity having been 
			a space-faring race in the past. 
 
 
			
			
 APOLLO 
			ASTRONAUTS WERE HIGH-RANKING MASONS
 
 This 
			next article by Dr.  Richard Sauder establishes the valuable 
			link of showing that the Apollo astronauts were all high-ranking 
			Masons, thus emphasizing the secrecy aspect, and again suggesting 
			something might be up there:
 
				
				Sauder, in this article, claims to 
				have heard the voice of Robert Monroe speaking to him 
				telepathically after he did work at the Monroe Institute. The 
				first time I ever got the process working of doing readings, I 
				was hearing the voice of Joe Mason, who I had a very amazing 
				conversation with the night before. It does seem that the Higher 
				Self can take on many guises to suit our comfort level. 
				   
				Here's some additional detail:
				 
					
					"It was not until many years 
					later, when I toured the 33o Scottish Rite Masonic Temple at 
					1733 16th Street, N.W., in Washington, D.C.,2 that I began 
					to realize the full significance of Robert Monroe's message. 
					To my surprise, there, in the temple's museum, was a 
					Scottish Rite Masonic flag which Edwin Aldrin, Jr., the 
					second Apollo program astronaut to walk on the Moon, carried 
					with him to the lunar surface. 
 When I visited, the flag was prominently displayed in a 
					glass case in the museum. The same museum also displays a 
					small Masonic flag that Apollo 7 astronaut Walter Schirra 
					carried into space and subsequently presented to Scottish 
					Rite Supreme Council, 33o Grand Commander Henry Clausen, on 
					23 October 1969. Gordon Cooper also took the Supreme 
					Council, 33o flag into space on the Gemini 5 orbital 
					mission.
 
 The museum also contains pieces of the heat shields from 
					NASA's Mercury 7 and Apollo 11 manned missions. My interest 
					was immediately sparked. I saw that there was some sort of 
					connection between NASA's manned space program and the 
					Supreme Council, 33o, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of 
					Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A.
 
 So, after my tour I inquired about the possibility of doing 
					research in the temple's library. The collection of Masonic 
					literature in that temple is virtually without peer in the 
					world. My request was granted, and I soon had a much better 
					idea of what Robert Monroe had been alluding to: I 
					discovered that some of the most prominent astronauts in the 
					Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs are (or were) 
					Masons.3
 
 Indeed, one of the original seven Project Mercury 
					astronauts, John Glenn, is now an influential United States 
					Senator from Ohio who will be returning to space again, in 
					October 1998, aboard the space shuttle (author's note: this 
					event did occur, for reasons that are still not entirely 
					clear). I also learned that two former, highly placed 
					administrators at NASA, Kenneth S. Kleinknecht,4 and 
					James 
					E. Webb5 are both Masons.6
 
 These facts, coupled with the Masonic flags various 
					astronauts carried into space and delivered to the Scottish 
					Rite's Supreme Council, 33o, reveal some sort of 
					relationship between Masonry and the space program.
 
 One of the interesting items I found in the course of my 
					research was a letter from Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, 
					bearing the date of 19 September 1969.7
 
					  
					Aldrin was the second Apollo 
					astronaut to walk on the Moon, after Neil Armstrong. 
					Aldrin's letter explicitly mentions the Masonic flag that he 
					carried with him to the Moon on the Apollo 11 mission of 20 
					July 1969, and which he delivered to the Supreme Council, 
					33o on 16 September 1969.  
					  
					The letter is addressed to 
					Sovereign Grand Commander Luther A. Smith and says, in part:  
						
						It was a great moment in my life to be so cordially welcomed 
					to the House of the Temple on September 16, 1969 by you and 
					Grand Secretary General Kleinknecht, 33o, and also the 
					members of your staffs.  
						  
						My greatest pleasure, however, was 
					to be able to present to you on this occasion the Scottish 
					Rite Flag which I carried on the Apollo 11 Flight to the 
					Moon — emblazoned in color with the Scottish Rite 
					Double-headed Eagle, the Blue Lodge Emblem and the Sovereign 
					Grand Commander's Insignia." 
			  
			
 FORMER 
			NASA DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS:
 
			"MYSTERIOUS GEOMETRIC STRUCTURES OF 
			UNNATURAL ORIGIN" ON THE MOON! 
 The following excerpt from Power of the Mind Magazine appeared in 
			several different online sources when it first emerged - regarding 
			the testimony of Maurice Chatelain. I am not sure who scooped the 
			story first.
 
			  
			Chatelain's book "Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space" 
			was very instrumental for me - one of the first books I ever read 
			after I got into UFO studies. Remember that Chatelain was NASA's 
			Director of Communications for the Apollo missions, so he was not 
			exactly a low-level employee. 
 Chatelain alluded - strongly - in "Ancestors" that "maybe we found 
			something on the Moon that shouldn't have been there," but before he 
			died he came out with the full story:
 
				
				
				"In a published article in April 1995, former NASA Director of 
				Communications Maurice Chatelain dropped the bombshell 
				revelation that the Apollo Moon Mission found "several 
				mysterious geometric structures of unnatural origin" on the 
				Moon."
 
			  
			AIRBRUSHING 
			PHOTOGRAPHS AND CONCEALING UFO REALITY
 
 From 
			
			the same link, as we read on, we see other examples that 
			further shed light on this situation:
 
				
				"Donna Tietze, a former photo 
				technician at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston during the 
				Apollo Moon missions, revealed during a 6th May 1995 radio 
				interview on WOL-AM in Washington, DC, that the job of a 
				co-worker in a restricted area was to airbrush out UFOs from 
				photos from the Moon before NASA sold those photos to the 
				public.
 Another former astronaut, Dr Brian O'Leary, on 18th September 
				1994 made the following declarations publicly at the 
				International Forum on New Science in Fort Collins, Colorado.
 
				  
				Dr 
				O'Leary said that, 
					
					"For nearly 50 years, the secrecy apparatus 
				within the United States Government has kept from the public UFO 
				and alien contact information."  
				He flatly stated that "We have 
				contact with alien cultures…" 
 As for the non-disclosure of these facts, Dr O'Leary said,
 
					
					"The 
				suppression of UFO and other extraterrestrial intelligence 
				information for at least 47 years is probably being orchestrated 
				by an elite band of men in the CIA, NSA, DIA and their like. 
				This small group appears able to keep these 
				already-hard-to-believe secrets very well….
 Those who have investigated this 
					hydra-headed beast believe that 
				the Cosmic Watergate of UFO, alien, mind-control, genetic 
				engineering, free-energy, anti-gravity propulsion and other 
				secrets will make Watergate or Irangate appear to be 
				kindergarten exercises.""
 
			  
			
 FINAL 
			REVEALING OF ASTRONAUT VIDEO FOOTAGE, EXPLORING LUNAR RUINS?
 
 And now for the moment you've been waiting for. Thanks to the 
			amazing times we're now in, as we approach 
			2012, ANY secret has the 
			potential of being released. Obviously these ruins exist, and 
			obviously NASA was sending high-ranking Masons to the Moon. At that 
			level there is absolute secrecy.
 
			  
			Look at these photographs of the 
			alleged lunar ruins, taken from an alleged secret NASA videotape:
			 
				
				
				 
				
				This first shot lets you see a fellow astronaut exploring the 
				ruins, who moves from the right to the left of our field of 
				view.
 
				
				
 
				
				 
  
				
				These next shots, above, show two stages of the astronaut's 
				advance to a doorway inside the megalithic stone structure.
 
				You 
				can see massive rectangular pillars inside and square windows 
				looking to the outside. 
 
  
				In this image the astronaut has now walked through the doorway, 
				turned around and filmed the way he came in from.
 
				Notice the 
				similarity of the structures from either side, and the hugeness 
				of the whole complex. 
 
			  
			SIMPLY 
			ASTONISHING
 
 I was floored to see this footage of an ancient structure on the 
			Moon - I feel it is highly likely that you are seeing authentic 
			data, not a hoax.
 
			  
			 The bad quality and background audio is partly 
			from the fact that someone filmed this off of their television set.
			
 Then you have to realize that whomever got this to the television 
			broadcast in the first place probably did so because he had copied 
			VHS tapes of it from other black-ops people. There could have been 
			multiple copy-overs made, covertly, since the original was first 
			duplicated. One of my own contacts showed me such a film - in that 
			case an interview of certain witnesses - and described a process 
			just like this.
 
 Then, add that to the fact that there was so much brightness on the 
			stones exposed to the Sun that it made the camera have a hard time 
			adjusting, and you can see how it would be so hard to make out 
			what's on the video. Nonetheless, you see enough… plenty enough.
 
 You can see a logo for a Greek television station in the upper left 
			of the screen at one point, and that doesn't mean it's a fake - as 
			we read from NAlexo, who posted it, the film was made by someone 
			having a camera and taping it off of a television monitor. Later 
			we'll read how NAlexo explains that this is what happened.
 
 The Greek station got a copy of the footage and put their logo on 
			it, and whoever was filming their TV was not completely stable with 
			their own camera, so it bleeds into the frame at one point.
 
			  
			 In the 
			next frame you see a bit of the logo, and 
			
			there's an article on Rense where you see the whole logo and a discussion about it:  
			  
			 
			 
			 
			  
			At this stage the astronaut is standing at the farthest point away 
			from the complex that he can get, and is filming a panoramic view.
			
 
 
			
			
 THE TRUTH IS 
			OUT THERE
 
 Black-ops folks are now leaking secrets like a steel sieve, and 
			since so many people are so cynical now, you can show the truth 
			right in front of their faces and they're STILL not likely to 
			believe it.
 
			  
			 Some people are blasting it as being a "training area" 
			for NASA astronauts "in case they found ruins on the Moon," but this 
			is so preposterous it's not even funny. 
 Even from the grainy film you can see the "set" is huge, and either 
			is made of solid stone blocks or something that looks just like 
			solid stone blocks. Either way it would be terribly expensive to 
			build this as a set - and for what purpose? Wouldn't it be cheaper 
			to leak the real film and then simply deny it as a hoax?
 
 [One of my contacts claimed to have seen a photograph of two suited 
			astronauts on Mars, standing next to the edge of a gigantic pyramid 
			and waving to the camera. The pyramid is just a sharp line of stone 
			going up at an angle, so you only see the edge of it. Obviously, it 
			would be great if some of our whistleblowers out there can leak this 
			photograph, which I personally haven't seen. Everyone would assume 
			it was a fake anyway.]
 
 Here is the actual video:
 
			  
			    
			Again, I have every reason to believe 
			that this footage is actually authentic.  
			  
			If it actually is a hoax, 
			somehow, (which I doubt), then, as is the case with 
			
			Santilli's 
			"Alien Autopsy" film, it was undoubtedly built to look precisely 
			like the real thing. 
 It also makes little sense that such an enormous set would be built, 
			looking very much like the same megalithic architecture we see in 
			the Valley Temple around the Sphinx, if it was just to be leaked by 
			some guy on YouTube with no profits involved. You would think there 
			would have been a lot more fanfare, like with 
			
			James Cameron's 
			announcement of the alleged discovery of the tomb of Jesus.
 
 Now let's see some more still shots:
 
				
				
				 
				
				In this image he has panned to the right from the last shot, and 
				the jutting area may be a landing dock for Atlantean-era craft.
 
 
  
				
				Here you get a great look at the redundant, multi-tiered 
				geometry to the whole complex - truly stunning.
 
				Also notice the 
				astronaut standing in the center of the frame for a size 
				reference. 
 
				
				
  
				Here you see the astronaut filming through a stylized window, 
				which could be made from a carved stone material,
 
				gazing back at 
				what appears to be the lunar lander.  
				
				
 
  In this last shot, from right near the end of the video, you can 
				see a fellow astronaut taking soil samples.
 
				They probably wanted 
				to see if the area was radioactive or had any rare minerals in 
				the surrounding soil. 
 
				  
			TESTIMONY FROM 
			THE ORIGINAL SOURCE OF THE VIDEO
 
 Some of the comments from "NAlexo", the man who posted it, shed more 
			light on this intriguing account:
 
				
				"This structure was situated north 
				of Moltke crater, at the Sea of Tranquility.  
				  
				NASA got its first 
				close inspection through Surveyor 5 in 1967 collecting 19,000 
				photos of it. It was 60m long with 12 windows on each side. The 
				materials' consistency was 60% oxygen and 0.01% hydrogen. The 
				prevalent wear of the walls along with the lack of atmosphere 
				suggest an age of thousands of years. This along with other 
				remnants were nuked for not disturbing our social upheaval. 
 Armstrong's heartbeat reached 160bpm. NASA's explanation was 
				that he was carrying 25kgs worth of samples, yet these are no 
				more than 4kgs on the moon. Initially they were amazed by an 
				array of landed discs perfectly aligned and tall beings in 
				white suits. This is all recorded in their transmission to 
				Houston which advises them to turn around and start working. Who 
				do you think is going to go broke if existence of advanced noble 
				species breaks out and we all unify on this planet?
 
 [This footage] comes from a very credible non-US documentary, 
				which explains the TV logo on the top left corner and the 
				average resolution. I believe everyone should know [this].
 
 [From another participant:]
 
 Two questions;
 1. At 2:20 in, in the top left hand corner of the video, there 
				appear to be symbols or numbers of some sort.
 2. What is making the noises heard every once in a while?
 
 [Answer from NAlexo:]
 
 1. local TV station
 2. sounds unrelated to the film"
 
			
			
			The Rense.com article features someone writing 
			in who recognized this logo as being from the Greek television 
			station ERT1, or ET1.  
			  
			 
			  
			Another 'debunker' claims to see a 
			street light and a car parking between 40 and 57 seconds in the 
			video. This is, again, grasping at straws, as I did not see any such 
			indications of either structures in the film. 
			 
			  
			People will come up 
			with just about anything to distance themselves from uncomfortable 
			truths. 
 
 
			
			
 STEADICAM 
			ACTION FLATTENS DEBUNKER ARGUMENTS
 
 One of the debunkers' claims is that the camera movement is too 
			smooth.
 
			  
			We can certainly believe that NASA specifically developed 
			their own proprietary version of Steadicam technology to stabilize 
			the camera for these expeditions - after all, Garrett Brown 
			discovered it and began using it in the mainstream world as early as 
			1974, just a few years after this footage would have been shot (click 
			below image):
			 
			  
				
				
				
				 
				  
			Here's an article with more detailed 
			information on Brown. I don't think he was a part of any secrecy, 
			but it is easy to believe that NASA engineers could have covertly 
			invented a similar device (click below image):  
			  
			
				 
			  
			The fact that the camera was not always 
			centered vertically, but often tilted to one side, suggests that the 
			astronaut had it in some sort of flexible, Steadicam-style harness, 
			and was not always careful enough to keep the images in frame. 
			 
			  
			Given NAlexo's account that the astronaut's heart rate was soaring, this 
			might not be an accident. 
 I should also point out that I have had more than one 
			
			lucid dream 
			that took place allegedly at ruins at the Moon, and this footage is 
			surprisingly similar to some of what I saw in my most recent journey 
			there, which occurred while I was at Joshua Tree last year.
 
			  
			NAlexo 
			says that the US "nuked' this structure to keep it from being 
			rediscovered, but in an OBE or lucid dream you can travel outside 
			the constraints of linear time - so even if it is not there now, you 
			can still visit it in the proper out-of-body state.
 
 
 
			
			DID THEY 
			REALLY BLOW IT UP? RIIIGHT…  AND I'VE GOT A BRIDGE TO SELL YA…
 
 Frankly, I highly doubt the authenticity of the story that it was 
			nuked.
 
			  
			
			I encountered stories that NASA once DID try to send a nuke 
			to the Moon and their plans were thwarted by ET interference. There 
			is the possibility of technology to be found in these monuments that 
			is too valuable for it to be destroyed. The story of the 'nuking' is 
			most likely a cover so that if this ever went public, people would 
			be told that there was nothing more to see because it had been 
			destroyed. 
 Obviously, if all the testimony we've shared is true, this is but 
			one of many such ruins on the Moon that have been explored, and 
			continue to be explored.
 
			  
			
			I have heard multiple witnesses tell me 
			that 
			the secret government does have its own large base on the moon, 
			called Luna, so you can imagine that such areas have now been 
			extensively investigated and mined for any usable technology. 
 
			
			
 
 
			
 
			  
			  
			
			THE NEXT 
			DAY: 'DEBUNKING' ARTICLE BY TED TWIETMEYER 
			- AND A VASTLY BETTER COPY EMERGES
 
 
			March 7th
 
			New developments on this fascinating story have emerged 
			the day after we first wrote about it.  
			  
			Another video, originally 
			posted September 24, 2006, lets you see more of this expedition than 
			in the edited-down version we linked to above. Given the voiceover 
			and CG effects, this makes it clear that the story did break into 
			the mainstream on television.
			
 The language is classic Spanish (from Spain), and the man who posted 
			it, 'Rufus2042,' has a profile saying he lives in Guatemala. Another 
			copy of the same video, titled 'Ancient Construction on moon,' was 
			posted by "RalfMamzkei," whose profile says he is from Brazil:
 
			  
			    
			Ralf Mamzkei's comments for the video 
			are in Portuguese, and translate as the following:  
				
				"Possibly a base 
			of the Nefilins [Nephilim] 
				on the moon, the moon was described in 
			several plaques like a "angar" [hangar] for 
				
				Mars and for 
				
				Nibiru, 
			there is spoken also that it was the refuge of several nefilins 
			during the flood and which mining there took place .. [more]" 
			Clearly he is referring back to the work of 
			
			Zecharia Sitchin here, 
			in which the ancient Sumerian accounts of the "Nephilim," recorded 
			in the Bible, are taken as genuine accounts of ET contact with 
			humanity. 
 The video quality of either of these new versions (which are 
			essentially identical) are better than the old version, which is now 
			very obviously the result of someone filming it with their 
			camcorder. If you can speak Spanish, please send me a translation of 
			what the narrator says in this new version, and we will post the 
			entire text online in a future update.
 
			  
			There isn't much voiceover 
			but we should have all the information. 
 Also, the images from the version I posted originally were too wide 
			- probably because the person watching the show had a wide-screen TV 
			that was distorting the picture from a normal-screen width 
			broadcast. In this version you get to see a lot more detail. I would 
			recommend muting the volume because the soundtrack is annoying and 
			distracting.
 
 Though I enjoy reading 
			
			Ted Twietmeyer's articles on Rense, I feel 
			that the 'debunking' arguments he raises here are not necessarily 
			valid.
 
			  
			I will put in my own comments with a DW: at the beginning 
			where appropriate.  
				
				Armstrong Moon Video Update - Is This An Experiment?
 From 
				Ted Twietmeyer
 3-7-7
 
 There is a longer version of the video on YouTube. 
				(click below image).
 
				  
				
            
				 
				  
				In looking at it closely, there are two big errors in it which 
			proves this a hoax, or a re-enactment. This one too, is always out 
			of focus like the first one. Perhaps that's to prevent anyone from 
			seeing mistakes in the details.  
			  
			DW: As I wrote yesterday, the lack of focus is probably the result 
			of multiple VHS copy-overs as it was passed around an underground 
			network of black-ops people, until one of them finally broke 
			confidence and leaked it to the Greek television show. The lack of 
			fidelity certainly does not prove it was done deliberately. We can 
			already see how much fidelity we lost between the version I posted 
			above and this new version. 
			
			 
 
 
			 Furthermore, we still have the obvious problem of where you would 
			build such a huge set, with a rocky moon-like ground, and using a 
			material that very clearly looks like stone. 
			  
			 It's not as if you 
			could just dress up an old building that was sitting there as a 
			skeleton. Some of these areas, like the room the astronaut walks 
			into after going through the square opening, clearly appear to have 
			been carved directly out of rock. 
 If you tried to stage something like this in today's age, it is 
			almost certain that someone involved would spill the beans, leak 
			photographs or otherwise do something to disparage its credibility. 
			Furthermore you would need a lot of money, and getting it a bit part 
			on a Spanish television show hardly seems worth the expense. The 
			footage has apparently been online for at least four months, so it 
			also hasn't exactly created a huge swell of interest.
 
 Again, as I've said before, since we know that such footage really 
			does exist, as there is precise eyewitness testimony to photographs 
			of ruins as well as direct evidence of tampering IN photographs, it 
			would ultimately be cheaper to use the REAL footage than to try to 
			build an enormous set, hire 'fake astronauts' and re-enact the whole 
			thing.
 
 Another issue is that in both videos, you see an astronaut cross the 
			frame from right to left near the beginning. He is clearly doing so 
			in a bouncing motion that would not be possible in normal Earth 
			gravity. This is even more noticeable on the new version, where it 
			is not distorted by a widescreen TV.
 
 You can tell that he is in a reduced-gravity environment and this 
			could not have been done in a studio unless you had him on wire 
			harnesses and carefully recreated the effect. This only further adds 
			complexity and cost to the idea of making this as a hoaxed video.
 
			  
			 You would think that if they were going to invest in low-gravity 
			effects like that, they would use them more often to 'sell' the idea 
			- but they did not.  
			 
				
				>Here is a short analysis of the video. 
				   
				1. At 5:19 into this video, 
				an "astronaut" is shown from the back. His "life support pack" 
				is a long, sharp cornered box-like object without any fittings, 
				tubing, pipes or controls. Real environmental Apollo backpacks 
				were relatively short compared to this, wider, covered in 
				wrinkly white insulating blanket and quite complex. Real 
				environmental back packs didn't extend almost down to their 
				knees as this one does.  
			  
			DW: Without photographic evidence to compare to, this is not a 
				substantial argument. This is the same problem I encounter with 
				skeptics trying to 'debunk' the interplanetary climate change 
				argument by saying they "don't remember ever seeing" these 
				studies, even while we've provided direct links to them in the 
				full article. 
 
			When someone is speaking from their memory, they can clearly 
				introduce distortions - like all the discrepancies of witness 
				accounts at a crime scene.
 
			  
			For what it's worth, I was very 
				'into' astronomy magazines as a boy, saw many thousands of 
				astronaut pictures in my magazines, and I do recall seeing 
				astronaut packs just like the ones in this film. It does not 
				extend down to their knees in the video, either - that is an 
				exaggeration. 
 The high albedo (brightness) of the light could easily obscure 
				the details on these packs, especially when coupled with the 
				obvious loss of quality - which I am ascribing as being likely 
				due to VHS copy-overs within a black-ops network of associates.
 
				
				2. Astronaut appears to be pawing away at the ground with 
				some type of sample tool. If he was a REAL astronaut, he would 
				know the tool is to pick up SAMPLES and not use it like a rake. 
				When you are as far from the Lander as they depict (apparently 
				several hundred feet) and on limited oxygen you don't waste time 
				pawing at the ground.  
			  
			DW: This also is not a substantial argument. You are standing on 
				the edge of a gigantic building that housed intelligent lifeforms, most likely some ancient ancestor of human beings. I, 
				for one, would be very curious to see if they left some garbage 
				in the dust. Their equivalent of a cigarette lighter, even, 
				could involve technologies that we could strongly benefit from. 
				In the event the astronaut found something exciting, he would 
				then capture that sample and be done with it. 
 Also, regarding the idea of limited oxygen, let's say all they 
				found inside the building was gigantic stone monoliths. They 
				would be keen on finding SOMETHING of value, something they 
				could carry with them, before returning to the lunar lander.
 
				
				3. At 4:40, a Lunar Lander is visible through a framed 
				window ! Most of the video is one long cut, but there is an 
				abrupt scene change near the end at 4:40. The Lunar Lander looks 
				like a scale model on a stage.
 
			  
			DW: Just because it LOOKS like a scale model, to this author, 
				doesn't mean that it is. When I view this footage, especially in 
				the newer and clearer version, I could just as easily accept 
				that it could be real.  
			 
 The abrupt scene change is most likely due to there being a 
				limited amount of film in the camera.
 
			  
			
			It probably wasn't very 
				large in size in order to be light enough to be mounted on an 
				early version of a Steadicam - and the astronaut wanted to 
				conserve some film for their departure. 
 Another clue that there is some type of steadying harness is the 
				fact that the image occasionally jumps. This suggests that 
				perhaps there is a gyroscope in the harness or something to keep 
				it centered, but occasionally when he moves too abruptly, the 
				gyro has to make a sudden correction. Also, since he is walking 
				in a low-gravity environment, he can take bounding steps and 
				soar through the air for short periods.
 
			  
			
			The moments when the 
				camera jolts would be the moments when one of his feet hit the 
				ground. 
 Many different witnesses have said that the black-ops 
				technologies are vastly superior to our own, and if they knew 
				they were going to be filming ruins, they would clearly want to 
				invest in the brainpower and resources to come up with an 
				adequate filming mechanism. The low quality of the film could 
				also be the result of it being a special film, very narrow in 
				width, specifically designed for a small camera that could be 
				mounted to a spacesuit.
 
			  
			
			The smaller the film, the less of the 
				image it will capture.  
				
				4. At the very end, we see some men at control panels 
				very briefly. This is known in theater as "the selling" which 
				makes it convincing. In drama or film, when someone is punching 
				someone else they never, ever make contact. But it is up to the 
				person being "struck" to sell the idea they were hit by their 
				reaction. The "sell" used in this video is a bit more cleverly 
				concealed, using the fake lander and about 2 quick seconds of 
				footage in a control room. 
			  
			DW: Until you see the video yourself, you wouldn't really 
				understand this comment, and how baseless it is. The video is 
				clearly from Spanish television, complete with CG animation 
				graphics of what the original structure looked like in 3D. The 
				source video is in black and white, whereas the last video is in 
				color. It's obviously some stock footage of NASA guys in a 
				control room that the Spanish documentary makers put in there 
				after the film was over, probably so they could keep the flow 
				with their voiceover as the documentary went on. 
 
			It is highly unlikely that this footage has ANY relation to the 
				moon video itself. We only see it because the person who posted 
				it did not cut the video precisely at the end of the lunar 
				footage - he waited a bit longer to insure that he got 
				everything.
 
			Moving on:
 
				
				>Is this supposed to be a re-enactment of something that actually 
			happened? or is it just a hoax? The very strange thing about the 
			original video I posted is that numerous readers wrote me who could 
			not post comments to it as I could not. Could this video be a covert 
			a psyc. test of the populace to see how they react to proof of alien 
			life? Even though comments didn't post - it certainly doesn't 
			guarantee no one has ever received or read them.  
			  
			DW: Sometimes your posts don't show up right away when you are 
			feeding data
				
				to a system like this. It can be several minutes 
			before comments show up. Again, without more proof this doesn't 
			demonstrate anything. YouTube may monitor posts to make sure they 
			are not profane, and that could involve some kind of moderator 
			viewing the posts before they go on. That could take time. Since 
			this video is months old, it may not be anywhere near as high on the 
			priority lists for such moderation, if that is what they are doing.
			
 Also, carefully notice that Twietmeyer never even includes the 
			POSSIBILITY that this video could be authentic in those first two 
			sentences above. Either it's a re-enactment of a true event or just 
			a flat-out hoax. We'll have more on this issue of 'debunker 
			psychology' below.
 
			  
				
				>If you were doing psyc. research, you would want all new video 
			viewers to see the video first WITHOUT being able to see anyone 
			else's comments. And this is exactly what happens. 
			  
			DW: When I looked at the other, more distorted version of the video 
			yesterday, there were already nine different pages full of comments, 
			running the gamut from skeptical to supportive. 
			  
				
				>But at the new youtube posting given above, people are able to make 
			comments and all have called it hoax.  
			  
			DW: This is probably because until he wrote about the new version 
			and pointed it out to the Rense audience, the average person 
			watching it would most likely be skeptical - not because of any 
			conspiracy of suppression. 
			  
				
				>Some viewers comments show that they may know where the footage was 
			taken as well. Numerous rense readers have already written me, 
			telling me that ET1 is a Greek television station. Ted Twietmeyer?? 
			  
			DW: It seems very likely that the user 'NAlexo' is the one who 
			filmed it off of his TV, and probably is recounting details that 
			were featured in the documentary it was a part of. I don't think he 
			is necessarily "inside" any group or organization.
 
 
 
			
			DEBUNKER 
			PSYCHOLOGY
 
 Pay attention to the overall tone of "debunker" arguments.
 
			  
			You will 
			often note a feeling of desperation in them. Many people who write 
			about UFO-oriented subjects are doing so because they are in a lot 
			of turmoil about whether it is really true. They partially write to 
			convince themselves, and yet somewhere inside they never really let 
			themselves believe it. They fear it would diminish their ability to 
			be objective. 
 There is a clear difference between 'skeptics' and those who have 
			directly witnessed and been a part of such projects - and again, I 
			have met many of them. In these cases they have no need to grasp at 
			straws, or try to prove to themselves that something is true, or is 
			not true. They have dealt with this as a reality, accepted it and 
			moved on with their lives.
 
 It doesn't really matter whether you believe or not. There is so 
			much scientific evidence, so many testimonies, that we're not really 
			dealing with a scientific issue - it is an emotional one. If there 
			is some reason why you can't accept it, then that's OK… it might 
			overwhelm you. This still doesn't mean that it isn't true, it just 
			means that at this stage, you're not able to handle the truth.
 
 [Another example of this "pathological denial" can be seen in 
			documentaries about people who have committed violent crimes. When 
			you see footage of the attacker's family members and friends, they 
			simply cannot believe that he would have done this - as "he is such 
			a nice guy". In the face of ALL evidence, they just cannot take it 
			in. You see the same thing with these debunkers.
 
			  
			There isn't even a 
			QUESTION about whether this moon video could be real or not… it 
			automatically MUST be a hoax, because it simply CANNOT be real. If 
			it WAS real, then it would destroy their entire worldview, and they 
			refuse to believe they could have been so wrong about so many 
			things.] 
 When you do accept what is right in front of you, there is a 
			marvelous opportunity to take in the fact that the world you've been 
			raised to believe in is quite different than the fairytales of 
			mainstream, 'consensus' reality.
 
			  
			Given that 
			2012 is an event that 
			could have profound impact on your entire existence as a soul, 
			it is well worth it to investigate information like that presented 
			on this website and make your own decision without 
			needing to fall back on emotional crutches of denial. 
 
 
			
			
 YET ADDITIONAL 
			WITNESS TESTIMONY TO LUNAR RUINS
 
 Another twist to this story appeared in my discussion group this 
			morning, from one of the guys who attended our conference in Joshua 
			Tree.
 
			  
			
			Ken Johnston was a featured speaker there, and he and I had a 
			good chance to talk, but we were mostly just talking about elements 
			of my own presentation.  
			 
			  
			
			I wasn't there to see Johnston's speech, but 
			Rich was, and here is what he had to say: 
			 
				
				I just read your blog on the "moon video". While attending the 
				Joshua Tree conference last October, I had a chance to meet and talk 
			with Dr. Ken Johnston, one of the presenters at Joshua Tree.
 Dr. Ken is a 32nd degree Mason that has worked as an instructor for 
			the astronauts since 1965. He was a Marine pilot who got involved in 
			the NASA training program. During his presentation, at the 
			conference, he relates a story of using a projector for some aerial 
			photos of the moon. Dr. Ken was the only individual that was 
			certified to operate that projector. The regular technician was 
			unavailable.
 
 During the film there were photos of lunar ruins that were clearly 
			visible. The lead scientist discussed those ruins with the other 
			participants in the room. The next day when Dr. Ken again operated 
			the projector for basically the same audience, using the same film, 
			it had been modified to hide the ruins.
 
 After the presentation, Dr. Ken asked the lead scientist about this 
			change. The lead scientist gave Ken a wink and said "What ruins?"
 
 BTW, Dr. Ken prominently wore some of his masonic symbols at the 
			conference. He did have to defend himself a little bit with the 
			conferences attendees. I found him to be a forthright and enjoyable 
			individual. I sensed that being a Mason was an important attribute 
			while working for NASA.
 
 Peace and Love,
 Rich
 
			  
			DW: Obviously, being a Mason is not a criminal indictment of any 
			kind. The Illuminist conspiracy only applies to those at the very 
			tops of Masonry who have infiltrated it. I've seen clear evidence 
			that even members as high-ranking as 32 degrees are not aware of the 
			deeper levels of penetration that have occurred.
 
 
			
			
 UPDATE ON SITE 
			STATUS
 
 This site will AGAIN go down for 24-48 hours this week.
 
			  
			We are still 
			working on transferring the site. It may be later today and through 
			tomorrow. We've had some major resistance in trying to pave the way 
			for our transfer to a new server, but it seems like the road is 
			clear now - which I am very excited about.  
			  
			It's important that more 
			people get this message because things are really starting to heat 
			up… as you can see here!
