As usually happens with people who live through momentous events, like the assassination of JFK or 9/11, I remember where I was and what I was doing when I first heard the news of the alleged landing of Apollo 11 on the moon. I was in a Bombardier track vehicle travelling from North camp to South camp in Resolute, Nunavut (then the Northwest Territories), far above the Arctic Circle. The driver had just heard the news and was super excited about it. As far as I can recall I wasn’t excited because I didn’t really believe it. As far as I can remember I had heard a rumour in the Physics community that the van Allen radiation belts made it impossible. My recollection, however, could be a false memory. In any case, I soon came to believe that the moon landings were real because I could not imagine that the whole culture in which I lived could possibly be so completely deceived. I believed it for most of my life.

During the last several years, however, I have become a lot more skeptical about a lot of things that are part of our society’s general understanding of the world. I have now done enough research on the moon landings to be pretty sure they were all a hoax. I have been so busy lately with other researches, e.g., concerning the prevailing Covid narrative, that I haven’t done quite enough investigation of the moon landings to be absolutely certain that we were deceived. I always like to go back and forth a few times looking at arguments for and against before I become utterly convinced of anything. It’s something I want to return to, though, and remove my remaining slim shadow of doubt. I think that the moon landings deceptions are important because they provide insight into how psychological operations work.
