I knew an old NASA engineer and former Marine who told me point-blank, regarding Apollo 1, "NASA killed those men". The capsule was a shoddily built deathtrap - which he claimed he warned his management about. He also told me the story about the radio signal delay on the Apollo 11 mission. The delay increased each day of the mission, until they were about to land on the Moon - then it dropped to zero.

He told me this more than 20 years ago. I'd accepted the Moon Landing narrative completely until that point.

At first I figured he was just an old drunk because of the crazy things he would say... but most of them later turned out to be true.

Now I'm fairly certain the Moon story is, let's say, less than entirely truthful.

For people like me who were born post-Apollo, it's almost like a founding myth of America. And fortunately some are willing to question it. But to others it is more like a religion, even among some who otherwise distrust the government.

Rabbit holes. I went down this one long ago and never really found the bottom. But the end result of that and many other forays into bottomless rabbit holes has convinced me that basically every narrative we know is based upon, or primarily lies.

Yeah, we know that covid and the shots are lies. We know that much of the societal push twards Marxism is based upon lies. Why not this subject.

And if this subject, how far back do we go? Where do the lies start?

For instance, did the lies begin before WWI or the Fed Reserve? Did the lies start after WWI and during WWII. Did they lie to us about WWII and its reasons? What about that never again subject? Was all of that the truth?

Some people will claim that everything is a lie except THAT story. THAT story could never be a lie. Because the lying liars that lie about everything else tells us its the truth.

That's why.
