BREAKING: Japan Lands On The Moon! See It Here!

Well gee, I guess I was wrong….

I was fairly convinced that the 1969 Moon Landings were fake and that as the Bible tells us there is a Firmament surrounding our Earth, but turns out I was wrong on both accounts.

Sorry Genesis!

Yes indeed, much like India did last year, Japan has now landed on the Moon!

How embarrassing that I could be so wrong….

Errrrr, uhhhh excuse me, my apologies….those prior paragraphs were all written with tongue firmly implanted in cheek!

Except for one thing I wrote which was spot on:  Japan’s Moon Landing looks exactly like India’s Moon Landing from last year, and by that I mean fake as can be!

But that’s just my opinion, you decide for yourself….

Here is the footage they are attempting to pass off as real footage from Japan’s Moon Landing:

It looks EXACTLY like India’s did!

Like some 1980s version of Atari Space Invaders!

Is that really the best they can do?

My Nintendo Switch has better graphics than this!

More here, this one includes footage from the lander itself as it tumbles towards the Moon:

Does that look real to you?

I guess we can quote Elon Musk here: “You know it’s real because it looks so fake!”

Remember when he said that?  That was a real gem.

More footage here, and pay particular attention to how they are reporting this — they are not claiming these are simulated videos — they’re saying this is footage of the craft landing on the Moon:

I am apparently not the only person that thinks it looks super fake….or that it looks almost identical to India’s fake footage:

Backlash from the India footage got so bad last year they DID come out several days later to try to claim it was just a rendering of what it *would have* looked like, but by that point the damage was done.

But they’re not stopping there….

Here is what they claim is a timelapse video shot from the Moon’s surface:

Sorry but it just looks SO fake!

And I see we’ve chosen to go with “no stars” in this one.

Always funny when they decide to include the stars or not.

Here’s what NBC News reported:

Japan’s moon lander nailed its tricky, “pinpoint” touchdown on the lunar surface, officials from the country’s space agency announced Thursday, but a newly released image revealed that the spacecraft became overturned in the process.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, known as JAXA, confirmed that the mission achieved its goal of a precision landing within 100 meters (328 feet) of its target — a feat that could broaden the number of potential landing sites for future missions to the moon.

With the successful touchdown of the SLIM lander (short for Smart Lander for Investigating Moon), Japan became the fifth country in history to achieve a controlled or “soft” landing on the moon. Only the United States, the former Soviet Union, China and India can similarly boast about such an accomplishment.

The SLIM mission represents another giant leap forward in lunar exploration.

A wheeled rover that was released before the SLIM craft landed snapped a photo that appears to show the probe upside-down on the moon’s surface. As such, the lander’s solar panels are not angled properly to harness sunlight and power up the probe, according to JAXA.

The agency said there is still a chance that the lander could recover and generate power as sunlight shifts in the coming days.

And from TechCrunch:

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Company shared the first image of its lander on the lunar surface, revealing that the spacecraft touched down on the moon upside-down.

It’s a remarkable recovery for the spacecraft, which experienced an “abnormality in the main engine” that affecting the landing orientation when it was just 50 meters above the lunar surface, JAXA said in an update Thursday. Despite this abnormality — which resulted in the spacecraft’s solar panels being unable to charge, because they are not oriented properly wit the sun — the country nevertheless became the fifth nation ever to pull off a soft landing on the moon.

Even after the main engine was lost, SLIM’s onboard software continued to autonomously guide the spacecraft’s descent. The lander touched down at a speed of around 1.4 meters per second or less, below the design range; but the lateral velocity and orientation were also outside the design range, resulting in the nose-down position.

Remarkably, the lander ended up just 55 meters east of the original target landing site. JAXA officials said that the main purpose of the SLIM mission, which was to demonstrate the pinpoint landing technology to within 100 meters accuracy, is therefore considered a success.

Now let’s have some fun and go back to India’s “Moon Landing”….

Read through this and tell me if this looks identical to what India originally tried to pass off as real footage and later claimed was just simulated images:

UPDATE: Did India Fake Its Moon Landing?

You want to know a very good indicator that something is, in fact, FAKE?

When all the big Fact-Checkers have to roll out their big “Fact Checks” to tell you it most definitely is not fake because we are Fact-Checkers and we said so!

That just happened again.

Last week India claimed to have landed on the Moon.

Incredible!

Historic!

The only problem was it gave the world this footage:

Many immediately said it looked SUPER fake.

Here is Stew Peters calling it out:

I also posted that it looked very fake to me.

A BAD fake:

India’s Moon Landing: Real or Fake?

Many clowned the images as saying it looked like a bad 1980’s video game.

Others named the game as “Space Invaders” — which was spot on.

The “useful idiots” were out in full force saying of course it was real imagery and we all just had “tin foil hats” on.

You gotta love the useful idiots.

But now after a week of getting clowned bad, it looks like they’ve taken a different approach.

Now LeadStories wants you to know this wasn’t live footage at all, it was just a simulation that was broadcast live:

ADVERTISEMENT

Ummmm, what?

LOL!

As usual, they go to incredible mental gymnastics to come up with these fact-checks.

“A Simulation Image was Broadcast Live”?

What does that even mean?

But let’s Fact-Check the Fact-Checkers because there are a few big problems with this.

First, none of the live streams of the moon landing labeled that as “simulation” footage.

They all said “Livestream”.

I checked last week and I just re-checked right now.

Not a single feed was labeled “Simulation”.

I guess these Rocket Scientists just forgot that little detail, huh?

ADVERTISEMENT

Right.

Or is it more likely that they got clowned so hard that they finally had to admit it was fake but claim they intended it to be fake all along?

You decide.

Here’s another problem…

LeadStories points to the Stew Peters tweet in its Fact-Check as some sort of proof and even includes screenshots of the Tweet and an Archive Link of the Tweet as if Stew took it down.

He never took it down, it’s still proudly posted.

Nice try LeadStories.

But here’s the really key part.

They claim the Stew Peters Tweet was Fact-Checked with a “Community Note” on Twitter, and indeed it was — but not for the reason you’d think.

Take a look:

So there is a Community Note saying the India Moon Landing was NOT faked because…..wait for it…..because these four sources all tracked it while it happened!

So you’d think you’d go to those 4 sources and you’d see live video or you’d see something saying the official video was labeled a simulation, but you don’t see any of that.

All four links are just this….hours and hours of screens that look like mini EKG machines allegedly reading the “sound” of the Moon Lander from space:

And by watching hours of blips of sound on the screen that is supposed to be proof the landing was real.

You kidding me with this?

Something I could make myself in Garage Band on my iMac and post to YouTube and you’d have no idea what it was (kind of like this Chorizo image?) is the “proof” the India Moon Landing was real?

Really?

But here’s my bigger question….

Why doesn’t the Community Note simply say that was a Simulation video?

Wouldn’t that have been a much simpler explanation?

But it doesn’t say that.

Only LeadStories now says that one week later.

As your mom probably told you, “if you don’t lie then you don’t need to constantly remember what you said and when you were telling the truth”.

Good advice.

NASA and the MSM should try following it, but at this point they’re too far gone.

Shifting stories, shifting sand, imploding confidence.

One more comment before I wrap this up….

You want to shut people up about all this being fake?

How about instead of stupid Garage Band sound readings how about you just strap a GoPro to the window of one of these “space rockets” and give us a FULL FEED of the launch?

Go from launchpad to Moon landing with no cuts.

Oh you’d think we’d have a bunch of those by now, right?

But we don’t.

Not a single one.

In fact, there’s not even a single UNCUT video feed live from a rocket going from launch pad into “Space”.

None exist.

They always “cut out” about halfway through and then “pop back on” once they’re in “Space”.

Don’t trust what I say, go look it up for yourself, see what you find.

Oh NASA has a million reasons WHY you can’t see that footage.

As usual, it’s just too complicated for us plebs to understand.

You’re right, I don’t understand and I don’t buy it.

If we have the technology to fly to the Moon and ride around on a Dune Buggy, we damn sure have the technology to strap a GoPro to a window and record the entire thing.

Instead what do we get?

We get…..this:

You want to shut people up?

You want to prove it’s real?

Save you BS LeadStories “Fact Check” and just show us REAL, UNCUT video.

Until then, I’m going to continue to assume it’s all fake.

Here was our original report:

India’s Moon Landing: Real or Fake?

I know this happened a couple days ago, but I have purposely waited to cover this for a while.

I just keep looking at the footage and I am a bit stunned.

Do people really think this is real?

I suppose I should back up and frame this a bit more objectively: I’m going to show you the footage of India allegedly landing on the Moon this week and I want to know if you think it looks real or fake.

There, was that better?

More objective?

I’m trying but I’m sorry, this just looks SUPER fake to me.

Just watch for yourself and then we’ll dig in.

From the Indian Express, here is the official footage.

Start at about the 6:20 minute mark:

Here’s a different view, allegedly from the Lunar Probe.

Watch:

Ok, so first question’s first…

Those are supposed to be real footage of the same event.

At least the second one looks a little more real, but why are there (super fake looking) stars in the first one:

But no stars seen in the second one?

And why can’t any of these “space agencies” get their stories straight?

Why does NASA tell us it looks like this?

And this:

And why do some Astronauts say they could see stars and some say they couldn’t?

Were they not briefed on what to say about that question by NASA?

ADVERTISEMENT

I went off on a wild tangent about the stars, but that really wasn’t the main point.

The main point is….why does the Indian Moon Landing video look so wildly FAKE?

I know, I know Elon….”you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake”:

Now there’s a reason why I started this article with the official Indian News feed for the Moon Landing footage.

Because if I showed you the Tweets first you’d claim it wasn’t real.

But it is and it looks wildly fake:

It looks MORE fake than the NASA footage from the 1960s and 70s.

Basically, this guy is spot on:

This guy says it looks like 1980s Pacman, but I disagree.

Pacman looked SHARP.

This is way worse:

I love watching the reaction videos:

Pacman was not quite right, but I gotta say “Space Invaders” is 100% spot on:

They are getting clowned SO HARD I have to be explicitly clear and tell you this video below is NOT the official video.

I know they look similar, but they’re not the same thing:

This guy calls it “Low Tech CGI” and I think that’s a good summary:

Very low tech.

Low tech and low budget.

Did you see Modi after the lander touched down?

Did you notice how he didn’t clap right away?

I think he knew how absolutely fake it looked and he couldn’t even bring himself to clap for a few seconds.

I think if you could have read his mind it would have said something like: “Are you freaking kidding me?  This is the footage they are showing to the world?  This is the best we could do?  I am so embarrassed right now….”

I love this guy’s recap video:

“It looks so authentic!”

Now let’s keep going…

Let’s leave India for a second and come a little closer to home:

“Was The NASA Moon Landing Fake?”

Was the Moon Landing Fake?

That’s not my question…

That was Patrick Bet-David’s question to Avi Loeb, the author of “Interstellar”.

I found the clip to be very fascinating.

The short answer from Avi?

ADVERTISEMENT

No.

The reason?

Moon Rocks.

Yes, really.

I’ll let you watch below, but what I find most compelling is exactly what PBD brings up when he questions Loeb.

To me, the single-most compelling question or piece of evidence is not camera angles, or “wrong shadows” in old footage, or foot prints on the moon, or strange landscapes…

All of that is interesting, but to me it’s not the PRIME thing.

To me, the primary question is a simple and basic one: why did we (we meaning all of Earth) go to the Moon in 1969 and then just never go back for over 50 years?

Have we EVER gone back?

Many say we haven’t.

So….did we really go the first time?

THAT is the question.

Watch Pat ask Ari:

It’s actually not the first time PBD has gone down this road.

Pat is a smart guy….VERY smart.

Intuitive.

I think he knows something is very wrong here.

Check out his prior interview with Bart Sibrel.

I think from that interview to this latest one with Ari, I sense Pat becoming more and more skeptical of the original Moon Landing story.

Maybe that’s just me, but I can feel it.

Pat was skeptical to Bart about his claims it was fake, but flash forward and Pat now seems much more skeptical of the original story itself.

Check it out:

FACT CHECKED: So We Never Actually Landed On The Moon?

Earlier today I was joking around on Twitter and I posted this Tweet below…

Read this.

But read it slowly:

If you don’t get it, read it again.

It’s a joke.

A stolen joke, I admit it.

It was a throwaway joke from the inimitable Norm Macdonald.

Miss that guy so much, but at least we have YouTube.

Anyway, back to the serious topic at hand.

While I was joking in the tweet above, a very serious question remains: Did we truly go to the moon back in 1969?

I smell a FACT-CHECK coming!

Now you might think that’s a crazy question, but if you start to dig into it you quickly realize there is a very logical, rational, and evidence-based argument to claim that no, we did not.

COULD not have done it even if we wanted to!

So I wanted to show this interview to you.

This is Patrick Bet David, a guy who I’ve really come to respect.

PBD plays it right down in the middle in this one, challenging his guest Bart Sibrel but doing it respectfully and allowing him to state his case.

And his case is remarkable clear.

Some people get caught up in analyzing the photos and the shadows and all this other nonsense or the reflections in the glass and claiming it was faked because of some really hard to follow technical details.

Sibrel doesn’t do that.

He simply states a very clear and logical case that goes like this:

In order to believe we landed on the moon in 1969 you have to believe this simple claim:

That we went 1,000 times FARTHER than we can currently send astronauts today…

50 years ago…

On the first attempt…

With one-millionth the computing power of today’s cell phone!

In fact, Werner von Braun, the lead scientist of the space mission for NASA, stated the odds of them going to the moon, successfully, with 1960s technolgoy, was a 1 in 10,000 chance!

That’s your lead brainiac saying that!

ADVERTISEMENT

There is no other example in history where we achieved a technological advancement and then 50 years later could not replicate it.

No other example in history.

In every other example, we are not only replicating it but exceeding it just a few years later.

Certainly, 50 years later the advancement from that first breakthrough is many multiples greater.

And yet, not so with the moon.

We haven’t been back.

No other country has been back.

In fact, NASA now says the technology to do it “hasn’t been invented yet!”

Why?

Because there’s a massive thing called the Van Allen Radiation Belts that would cook you alive!

The clip of the NASA rocket scientist saying that is right in the video below.

So without further adieu, I give you Patrick Bet David asking Bart Sibrel: was the moon landing FAKED?

Watch here:

Backup here:

If that caught your attention, let’s go much deeper…

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon…

WARNING!  WARNING!

Time for another installment of hard-hitting investigative journalism…where we aren’t afraid to create a little cognitive dissonance along the way!

Some of you will be very bothered by this article…

“How dare he question the moon landings!”

Sorry folks, but we don’t create the news here…we just report on it.

We also don’t create the “truth”…we just seek it out and set it free.

So buckle up buttercup, this could get bumpy for a few of you.

I can already hear many others saying “it’s about time Noah covered this!”

So here we go….

Did Buzz Aldrin just admit (again) that the moon landings were faked?

Well, it sure looks like it.

But we’ll give you all the evidence and let you decide.

A clip of Buzz Aldrin on Conan O’Brien’s Late Night Show from 2000 is suddenly going viral right now thanks to this post on TikTok:

@msmastafoxx

Wait Til The End…🧐 #MsMastaFoXX #MyCreatorLife #Buzz #buzzaldrin #Nasa #Conspiracy #conspiracytiktok #Woketok #Viral #fyp #conanobrien #MoonLanding

♬ original sound – MsMastaFoXX👽CF👁️Neocodeist🧬

In the clip, Buzz pretty clearly says the video of the astronauts walking on the moon was fake.

I don’t know how else you interpret that.

I mean, I know this is a comedy show, but nothing about this clip appears to be a joke or a bit.

Even Conan is taken aback and temporarily at a loss for how to respond (and it’s his job to never be caught off guard as a talk show host).

So watch the clip for yourself.

And for anyone shouting “CONTEXT!” I’ve got you covered.

Here is the full interview to watch the segment in context:

The Reuters Fact-Check team has already investigated and determined what you heard Buzz say is totally “False”.

Just another one we all got wrong!

God bless the fact-checkers, I don’t know where we’d be without them!

So somehow they’ve labeled this as “False” despite the part I bolded below where they seem to even admit that the footage is, in fact, mostly made of animations.

This is their full report:

Social media users are sharing a video of astronaut Buzz Aldrin being interviewed by American television host Conan O’Brien and claiming that Aldrin discussing parts of the moon landing broadcasts being animated is proof that it was all faked.

He was referring to animations used by broadcasters at the time in their coverage of the moon landing, intercut with real footage. The moon landing did take place and men did walk on the moon.

Examples of the erroneous social media posts can be seen ( here ) and ( here ).

A longer video of the interview, dated May 17, 2000, can be seen on YouTube ( here ).

At the 1:29 mark, O’Brien says: “Let’s talk about this because this is fascinating. I remember very clearly; I think anybody who was alive at the time does. I remember my parents waking me up and we went down, and we watched you guys land on the moon.”

Aldrin responds: “No, you didn’t. Because there wasn’t any television, there wasn’t anybody taking the picture. You watched animation so you associated what you saw with… you heard me talking about, you know, how many feet we’re going to the left and right and then I said contact light, engine stopped, a few other things and then Neil said ‘Houston, tranquility base. The Eagle has landed.’ How about that? Not a bad line.”

The moon landing took place on July 20, 1969 with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. NASA said in 2006 that no one could find the original video recordings of the July 20, 1969, landing. However, in 2009 NASA released a complete digital make-over of the original landing footage that clarifies the blurry and grainy images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the surface of the moon ( here ).

A video compiled by CNN shows the available footage from the mission ( here ), including takeoff and the astronauts climbing down and walking on the moon.

An article ( here ) by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum explains the challenges of recording footage of the moon landing and walking.

NASA contracted with Westinghouse for a black and white camera costing $2.29 million to capture the iconic moment, according to the museum. Photographs of the camera, which was stored in the lunar module’s Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly near the ladder Armstrong can be seen climbing down, can be seen ( here ).

“For us today, we can thank technicians for having recorded the broadcast, though the tapes assumed to be of the highest quality were never located despite searches for them in the last few decades,” the article reads. “What we see now on YouTube or in films are high definition scans of those best available copies.”

An article by Vox ( here ) says some television networks built sets to recreate some of the moments that were not able to be captured on video.

The National Science and Media Museum discussed the Apollo 11 broadcast on its website ( here ): “Many broadcasters used simulations to flesh out their Apollo programming. Networks paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for scale models of Apollo command modules and rockets. During the broadcast, these were used to create simulations of the mission which were then intercut with real footage.”

“The thing to remember is what news was like in the late 1960’s, not 24-hour continuous coverage,” Margaret Weitekamp, Chair of the Space History Department at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, said by phone. “The coverage of that trip needed to be explained to the public without the ability for continuous relay of video we are now used to.”

“Animations would have been a part of a constellation of different ways that that story was told over a series of days. At the time, the coverage would have been combined with animations that helped provide a broader picture of what was being done. But this certainly doesn’t invalidate that those landings took place.”

There is no evidence that the moon landing was faked or that astronauts did not walk on the moon. However, there is plenty of evidence that it happened. Reports about the landing can be seen ( here ), ( here ) and ( here ).

Photographs of the moon landing can be seen ( here ), ( here ), and ( here ).
