Date: October 26, 2023 Subject: Review of Miles Mathis' Analysis of the Film "American Moon" and the Alleged Apollo Moon Landing Hoax

Source: Excerpts from "American Moon BY MILES MATHIS.pdf" by Miles Mathis

Executive Summary:

Miles Mathis' essay, "American Moon," offers a highly critical analysis of Massimo Mazzucco's film of the same name, which argues that the Apollo moon landings were faked. While Mathis agrees with the film's central premise that the landings were a hoax, he contends that the film, along with Bill Kaysing's initial work and subsequent debunking efforts, are all part of a sophisticated strategy of "controlling the opposition." Mathis asserts that the primary motivation behind the Apollo hoax was not technical impossibility, as Kaysing suggests, but a deliberate and massive theft of taxpayer money from the US Treasury, with the complicity of Congress. He further argues that the Vietnam War was a similar "suck-from-the-treasury" project. Mathis criticizes Mazzucco and other "Moon Hoax" proponents for failing to adequately emphasize the criminal nature and ongoing impact of this alleged fraud, thus preventing genuine public outrage and action. He also delves into the backgrounds of prominent figures on both sides of the debate, suggesting a network of interconnected individuals, often with elite or intelligence ties, who are either perpetuating or managing the narrative around the hoax. Mathis concludes by lamenting the continued spending on space programs like Artemis, which he believes will also be faked for financial gain.

Main Themes and Important Ideas/Facts:

• Controlled Opposition: Mathis' central thesis is that the "Moon Hoax" narrative, including Mazzucco's film and the arguments of early proponents like Bill Kaysing, is a form of controlled opposition. He believes the powers that be know the public suspects the truth and are strategically managing the discourse to prevent focus on the true motive: financial theft.

• "What I think we have here is a rather advanced example of controlling the opposition. All these people know that the American public already knows the Moon landings were faked. So they can only hope to control the response."

• The True Motive: Financial Theft: Mathis vehemently rejects the idea that the Moon landings were faked due to technical limitations. He argues the primary driver was to defraud the American taxpayer out of hundreds of billions of dollars.

• "But that is misdirection, since that isn't why NASA faked the Moon landing. They want you to think that is why they faked it, because that is far less damning than the truth: they faked the entire Apollo program in order to steal hundreds of billions of dollars from the treasury, and therefore from you and your parents and grandparents."

• "The Apollo program was not a failure. Even as a fake, it was a grand success, since it did exactly what it intended to do from the start. That was to suck massive sums from the treasury, using a complicit Congress to do so."

• Intertwined Conspiracies: Mathis suggests that the Apollo hoax was not an isolated event but part of a pattern of large-scale financial scams, including the Vietnam War and, potentially, future space programs like Artemis and Mars missions.

• "BOTH Apollo and Vietnam were suck-from-the-treasury projects, by which hundreds of billions of dollars were stolen from taxpayers for. . . absolutely nothing. The Vietnam War was just as fake as Apollo, but no one seems to see that to this day."

• "They are even now stealing more billions from you to pretend to send people to the Moon again. See the Artemis Program, which is already being funded with your federal tax dollars, allegedly to land people on the Moon by 2024."

• Critique of Moon Hoax Proponents: Mathis criticizes figures like Dave McGowan for misdirecting the focus (e.g., suggesting the hoax was to distract from Vietnam) and argues that many prominent voices in the movement fail to emphasize the ongoing criminal nature of the alleged deception.

• "You never come out the end of any of them with the proper levels of anger. Somehow, they spit you out at the end just as complacent as you were going in. This is because the authors and narrators never stress the steal at the heart of it, and they never express the magnitude of the crime."

• Skepticism Towards Debunkers: Mathis views Moon landing debunkers as deliberately dishonest "paid liars" whose purpose is to protect the "incredible crimes of their associates and families" rather than engage in an honest debate.

• "Mazzucco goes on to prove beyond any doubt that all of these people are paid liars. There is no possibility they actually believe what they are saying, and that includes MythBusters, Phil Plait, Jim Oberg, Paulo Attivissimo, Jay Windley, and all the rest."

• The Cold War as a Hoax: Mathis posits that the Cold War, including major events like the Russian Missile Crisis and the Bay of Pigs, was a staged event designed to justify massive defense spending in both the US and the USSR.

• "However, this is again misdirection, since the US and USSR were always working together. The entire Cold War was faked, including the Russian Missile Crisis, Bay of Pigs, and all the rest. The US and USSR were pretend enemies in that period for the usual reason: to steal money from both treasuries."

• The Willingness to Lie: Mathis argues that the idea that 400,000 NASA employees couldn't have kept silent due to compartmentalization is naive. He believes a large segment of the modern population is willing to lie for personal gain or due to a lack of integrity.

• "The correct answer is that Modern people are liars and pussies, and it is fantastically easy to find 400,000 of them in the US. They have no regard for the truth or for honor, so they will sell out for a very low sum. Most of them will lie for free, since it gives them a thrill."

• Genealogical Connections and Intelligence Ties: Mathis frequently delves into the family backgrounds and connections of individuals involved in the Moon Hoax debate (both proponents and debunkers), suggesting links to elite families, the peerage, and intelligence agencies. He uses genealogical research as a key tool to support his claims of a controlled narrative.

• (Numerous examples are provided throughout the text, detailing alleged family connections of figures like Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Philip Plait, and Bart Sibrel.)

• Critique of Specific Evidence in "American Moon": While agreeing with the film's overall conclusion, Mathis points out instances where Mazzucco uses questionable or misleading evidence, such as a fake recording of Kennedy, an animated Mars landing, and a staged Space Shuttle fuel demonstration. He also highlights Mazzucco's failure to address the implausibility of filming the LEM ascent from the Moon's surface.

• Analysis of Debunkers' Tactics: Mathis scrutinizes the methods and backgrounds of prominent debunkers, portraying them as disingenuous actors with hidden agendas. He highlights the case of Paulo Attivissimo and his blog "Il Disinformatico" ("The Disinformer").

• "Attivissimo's blog is called Il Disinformatico. No, seriously. That means Disinformation or the Disinformer, if it isn't obvious. Unless he has a recent ancestor named Disinformatico, I can't figure out how to make sense of that. He might as well title his blog 'I am lying straight to your stupid American face'."

• Skepticism Towards Other Major Events: Mathis extends his skepticism beyond the Moon landings to include events like Chernobyl, suggesting they were potentially staged to reinforce the narrative around nuclear technology and justify related spending.

• "To what end? To confirm the reality of the event. And why would they fake the event? Same reason they faked the earlier Three Mile Island incident and the more recent Fukushima disaster: to spread fear and to confirm the existence of dangerous nuclear chain reactions, and thereby nuclear weapons."

• Critique of Astronauts: Mathis dismisses the heroic portrayal of astronauts, viewing them as complicit in the alleged fraud.

• "Get it through your head: astronauts are not heroes. They are another class of conmen, working for the man to scam you over many decades."

• Analysis of Bart Sibrel: Mathis views Bart Sibrel's interactions with Apollo astronauts as likely staged, noting suspicious details and connections between Sibrel's family and others in his network. He also analyzes Sibrel's religious persona as potentially disingenuous.

• Call to Action (Implicit): While Mazzucco's film ends without a clear call to action, Mathis emphasizes the ongoing nature of the alleged theft and implicitly urges the public to recognize the pattern and demand accountability, including the return of stolen funds and the cessation of funding for similar projects.

• "So why not go to these military/space contractors and demand our money back? Most still exist in some form and they have deep coffers. They are some of the richest companies in the world. More to the point, why not refuse to hire them for any more projects?"

Key Quotes:

• "The reason I believe that NASA and the government faked the Moon landing was basically that it was technically impossible to do it, and they simply had to come up with some sort of alternative that the public would believe." (Bill Kaysing, quoted by Mathis) - Mathis argues this is a misdirection.

• "As usual, they billed you for things they never delivered and never intended to deliver." (Miles Mathis)

• "They are even now stealing more billions from you to pretend to send people to the Moon again. See the Artemis Program..." (Miles Mathis)

• "Modern people are liars and pussies, and it is fantastically easy to find 400,000 of them in the US." (Miles Mathis)

• "He [Paulo Attivissimo] might as well title his blog 'I am lying straight to your stupid American face'." (Miles Mathis)

Conclusion:

Miles Mathis' analysis of "American Moon" goes beyond simply agreeing with the premise of a faked moon landing. He presents a broader conspiracy theory where the Apollo program was a deliberate act of massive financial fraud, and the subsequent discourse around it has been carefully managed to prevent public understanding of the true scale and ongoing nature of this alleged crime. Mathis utilizes genealogical research and a cynical view of human nature and societal structures to support his claims of controlled opposition and interconnected networks of individuals perpetuating a grand deception. The document serves as a critical examination of both the film and the wider "Moon Hoax" narrative from a unique and highly conspiratorial perspective.

Miles Mathis's analysis of Massimo Mazzucco's film American Moon argues that while the film correctly identifies the Apollo missions as faked, it misdirects the audience from the true motive: a massive financial swindle of taxpayers. Mathis contends that the Apollo program and subsequent space endeavors, including the Artemis Program, serve as vehicles for ongoing theft from the treasury, facilitated by a complicit government and controlled opposition within the "Moon hoax" movement. He suggests that figures involved in both promoting and debunking the hoax, as well as related events like Chernobyl, are often connected through familial and intelligence ties, ultimately aiming to control public perception and prevent genuine outrage over systemic corruption. Mathis urges the public to recognize the magnitude of this continuous fraud and demand accountability. 

This text, "American Moon" by Miles Mathis, centers on the author's argument that the Apollo moon landings were faked, not due to technical impossibility as some suggest, but as a massive financial fraud perpetrated against American taxpayers. Mathis critiques the film "American Moon" and other works on the topic, asserting they serve as controlled opposition, distracting from the true motive of theft by focusing on the deception rather than the ongoing financial exploitation. He further contends that numerous individuals involved in both promoting and debunking the moon hoax, including figures from the film, MythBusters, and skeptical organizations, are likely connected through elite family lineages and intelligence networks, suggesting a coordinated effort to manage public perception and conceal a broader pattern of governmental and financial malfeasance extending to projects like the Artemis program and even historical events like the Cold War and the Vietnam War. 

Discuss Apollo moon landing.

The source you provided, excerpts from "American Moon BY MILES MATHIS.pdf," presents a strong argument that the Apollo moon landings were faked1 . The author agrees with this premise and elaborates on the reasons and implications of this alleged deception2 .

According to the source, the film "American Moon" by Massimo Mazzucco builds upon the arguments presented in the 2001 FoxNews film "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" and Bill Kaysing's book "We Never Went to the Moon"1 . While Kaysing believed the landings were faked because they were technically impossible3 , the author of this source argues that the primary reason for the Apollo hoax was to steal hundreds of billions of dollars from the American treasury3 .... The Apollo program, even as a fake, is considered a success because it achieved its real goal: to extract massive sums from taxpayers with the complicity of Congress4 . The author dismisses other theories, such as the fake being a distraction from the Vietnam War, suggesting that both Apollo and Vietnam were "suck-from-the-treasury projects"4 .

The author contends that films and exposés about the Moon hoax, including "American Moon," serve as misdirection because they do not adequately stress the magnitude of the financial crime, connect it to broader patterns of deceit, identify the criminals involved, or suggest solutions5 . This lack of emphasis on the "steal at the heart of it" keeps the public complacent5 . The author points to the ongoing Artemis Program as a contemporary example of this continued theft, predicting it will also be faked due to a lack of necessary technology and will vastly exceed its projected $35 billion cost, similar to the approximately $160 billion (in today's dollars) spent on the original Apollo program6 ....

The source analyzes specific aspects of "American Moon" to support the author's claims. For instance, a supposed "actual recording" of a conversation between Kennedy and a head-of-project is deemed fake because the voice is not Kennedy's, suggesting an attempt to retroactively insert the idea that the mission was about spending money8 .... The author is also critical of the list of prominent "Moon Hoax" proponents featured in the film, suggesting that some of these individuals may be part of a controlled opposition, diverting attention from the criminal element10 .

Furthermore, the author asserts that individuals who debunk the Moon hoax are not genuinely convinced but are likely "paid liars" protecting significant crimes11 . The framing of the debate as a matter of opinion, rather than a "fantastic level of criminality," is seen as a deliberate tactic to control public anger and response12 . This pattern of dishonesty is argued to be prevalent in many areas, such as the fluoride debate13 . The author also claims that the Cold War itself was a "fake" designed to steal money from both the US and USSR treasuries, further illustrating the scale of alleged governmental deception14 ....

The source challenges the idea that 400,000 NASA employees could have been compartmentalized and unaware of the hoax, arguing instead that a large number of people are capable of lying, especially when incentivized16 .... The author suggests that any dissenting voices would have been suppressed by the controlled media, with only controlled opposition narratives being allowed to surface20 .

The author dedicates a significant portion to analyzing the backgrounds of individuals involved in debunking the Moon hoax, such as Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of "MythBusters," Philip Plait (the "Bad Astronomer"), and James Randi. Through genealogical connections and alleged links to intelligence agencies, the author suggests that these individuals are part of a larger network perpetuating the lie21 .... Paulo Attivissimo, another prominent debunker, is also scrutinized, with the author pointing out inconsistencies in his background and suggesting his blog title "Il Disinformatico" (The Disinformer) is a deliberate signal33 ....

The author also critiques specific evidence presented in "American Moon," such as the animation of the Phoenix Probe landing on Mars and the use of a Space Shuttle film to demonstrate hypergolic fuel visibility35 .... The author offers their own evidence against the legitimacy of the LEM ascent, focusing on the seemingly unnatural movement and the lack of a smooth rocket-powered rise36 .... Additionally, the film's use of Chernobyl footage to demonstrate radiation's effect on film is questioned, with the author suggesting the event itself might have been faked to reinforce the reality of nuclear technology38 ....

The source takes issue with "American Moon"'s description of astronauts as "exceptional" and "courageous," arguing that their participation in the alleged hoax makes them "conmen"41 . The documentary's segment on Bart Sibrel's attempts to get Apollo astronauts to swear on the Bible is also viewed with suspicion, with the author suggesting Sibrel himself might be a low-level agent42 ....

Finally, the author criticizes the abrupt ending of "American Moon," which lacks a summation or call to action regarding the alleged theft and its ongoing implications46 .... The author believes that if the Apollo project was indeed fake, there should be demands for restitution from the involved contractors and a refusal to fund similar projects in the future46 ....

Discuss Controlling opposition theory.

The controlling opposition theory, as discussed in the provided source by Miles Mathis, suggests that certain individuals and media outlets seemingly critical of official narratives are, in fact, subtly working to manage and limit the public's response to those narratives1 . According to Mathis, the aim of this control is to prevent people from grasping the full extent of alleged wrongdoing and from taking meaningful action1 ....

Here are the key aspects of this theory as presented in the source:

•

Public Awareness of the "Truth": Mathis posits that those orchestrating the alleged Apollo Moon landing hoax believe the American public already suspects or knows the landings were faked1 . Therefore, their strategy shifts from outright denial to controlling the narrative around this "truth"1 .

•

Misdirection: A primary tactic of the controlling opposition is misdirection2 .... Mathis argues that figures like Bill Kaysing, whose quote about the technical impossibility of the Moon landing is highlighted in both American Moon and a FoxNews special, offer a less damaging explanation for the alleged fakery. This explanation, focusing on technical limitations, distracts from what Mathis believes is the real motive: the theft of hundreds of billions of dollars from the treasury3 ....

•

Controlling Anger and Response: Mathis contends that these controlled opposition narratives, including documentaries and exposés, ultimately fail to generate the appropriate level of anger in the audience2 . They do not connect the alleged hoax to broader patterns of corruption, identify the "criminals," or suggest solutions2 . The goal is to leave the public feeling as complacent as they were before encountering the information2 .

•

Framing the Debate: Mathis argues that even the debunkers of the Moon Hoax play a role in controlling the opposition5 .... By presenting the issue as a matter of opinion or honest disagreement, rather than deliberate lying to protect significant crimes, they limit the public's outrage and potential for action6 .

•

Examples of Controlled Opposition Figures: Mathis identifies several individuals who promote the Moon Hoax argument as potentially being part of this controlled opposition, including Bill Kaysing, Dave McGowan, and James Fetzer7 . He finds their backgrounds and associations suspicious, suggesting they might be intentionally misdirecting the focus away from the financial crime7 .

•

Examples of Controlled Debunkers: Mathis also labels prominent Moon Hoax debunkers like those on MythBusters (Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman) and figures like Philip Plait and Paulo Attivissimo as "paid liars"5 . He analyzes their backgrounds, family connections, and professional activities to suggest they are part of a larger network working to maintain the official narrative, not through genuine belief but through deception8 ....

•

Broader Application: Mathis extends this theory beyond the Moon landings, suggesting that events like the Cold War, debates around fluoride, and even nuclear accidents like Chernobyl might involve elements of controlled opposition to achieve specific goals, such as financial gain or maintaining the narrative around certain technologies23 ....

•

The Artemis Program: Mathis views the current Artemis program as another instance of this ongoing "con," where the same entities are again profiting from a faked endeavor29 ....

In essence, Mathis's controlling opposition theory posits a sophisticated form of manipulation where seemingly dissenting voices are strategically deployed to manage public awareness of alleged conspiracies, ultimately serving to protect the perpetrators and their ongoing activities1 ....

Discuss Stealing from treasury.

Drawing on the source you provided, "American Moon BY MILES MATHIS.pdf," the central argument regarding the Apollo moon landings, and other events, revolves around the concept of stealing vast sums of money from the US Treasury1 ....

Here's a breakdown of this idea as presented in the source:

•

The Primary Motive of the Apollo Hoax: The author explicitly states that the reason NASA and the government allegedly faked the entire Apollo program was "in order to steal hundreds of billions of dollars from the treasury, and therefore from you and your parents and grandparents"1 . This is presented as the "truth" behind the deception, contrasting with Bill Kaysing's belief that it was due to technical impossibility1 .

•

Billing for Undelivered Goods and Services: The author asserts that the American public was "billed you for things they never delivered and never intended to deliver"2 . The Apollo program is framed as a "grand success" in this context, not because of any scientific achievement, but because "it did exactly what it intended to do from the start. That was to suck massive sums from the treasury, using a complicit Congress to do so"2 .

•

A Pattern of Deception: The author extends this "suck-from-the-treasury" motive to other historical events. Both the Apollo program and the Vietnam War are described as such projects, where "hundreds of billions of dollars were stolen from taxpayers for . . . absolutely nothing"2 . The author even suggests that the Cold War was also faked for the "usual reason: to steal money from both treasuries" (US and USSR)3 .

•

The Ongoing Nature of the Scam: The author argues that this pattern of financial exploitation continues with the Artemis Program, which is allegedly being funded with federal tax dollars to fake another Moon landing4 .... The projected cost of $35 billion is expected to skyrocket, echoing the approximately $160 billion (in today's dollars) spent on Apollo4 . Similarly, Mars programs are also labeled as fake and costly ventures designed to drain the treasury6 .

•

Misdirection in Moon Hoax Exposés: The author criticizes films like "American Moon" and proponents of the Moon hoax theory for not adequately emphasizing the magnitude of the financial crime7 . They allegedly fail to connect it to broader patterns of theft, identify the criminals, or suggest ways to stop it, thus keeping the public complacent7 .

•

Lack of Restitution: If the Apollo project was a fake designed to steal money, the author questions why there is no demand for restitution from the military/space contractors involved, many of whom are still wealthy companies8 .... The author also wonders why these companies continue to be hired for new projects despite the alleged past deception9 .

•

Subsidizing Further Deception: The author criticizes the government's subsidization of companies like SpaceX, which are deemed "even more fake than NASA and Apollo," implying that this is another avenue for the continued theft of taxpayer money9 .

In essence, the source argues that the alleged faking of the Apollo moon landings was not about technological limitations or political motivations like the space race or distracting from Vietnam, but rather a deliberate and highly successful scheme to defraud the American taxpayer out of vast sums of money, a pattern that the author believes continues to this day1 ....

Discuss MythBusters presenters.

Drawing on the information in the source, Miles Mathis discusses the presenters of the show MythBusters as examples of individuals involved in a "controlled opposition" regarding the Apollo Moon landing hoax1 . He argues that they are not genuinely convinced that the Moon landings were real but are instead "paid liars" working to protect a significant crime1 .

Here's a breakdown of Mathis's claims about specific MythBusters presenters:

•

Adam Savage: Mathis finds Adam Savage's full name, Adam Whitney Savage, and his parents' names (Whitney Lee Savage and Karen Haagensen) significant, noting that all three names are surnames, which he suggests is common among "these people"2 . Through genealogical research (referenced as "Geni"), Mathis claims to link Savage to prominent families such as the Vanderbilts and the peerage, including connections to 275 Savages of the peerage who re-entered it around 16152 .... He also mentions a John Savage from Morgan County, Ohio, born in 1853, whose lineage appears to connect to Adam Savage's family from Jackson County, Ohio4 . Mathis implies these connections suggest Savage is part of a larger network of individuals with elite backgrounds5 . He criticizes Savage's appearance in American Moon holding a plastic reflector, calling it an insult to basic intelligence2 .

•

Jamie Hyneman: Mathis notes that Jamie Hyneman's parents are "scrubbed" from his Wikipedia page and elsewhere, which he considers a suspicious sign6 . Hyneman's degrees in literature and Russian linguistics at Indiana University lead Mathis to speculate he was likely "tapped for Intelligence," possibly explaining his beret6 . His early career running a diving charter business in the Caribbean is also seen as potentially linked to intelligence work (low-level smuggling)6 . Mathis points out that Hyneman worked on The Matrix with Adam Savage and that his middle name is Franklin, suggesting a possible blood relation ("secret cousins") to Savage6 . Mathis states that he would ask Hyneman for his mother's maiden name to investigate this further6 .

•

Peter Rees (Creator): Mathis highlights that the creator of MythBusters is Peter Rees, a name that appeared in his previous analysis of Princess Diana, where Trevor Rees was identified as her fake bodyguard and an MI6 cousin5 . Mathis mentions that a Peter Rees is also listed in the peerage, although not the same Baron Peter Rees who was a British politician5 . This connection further reinforces Mathis's idea of a network of interconnected individuals involved in these matters5 .

•

Other Presenters: Mathis briefly mentions other MythBusters presenters, including Scottie Chapman, Grant Imahara, Christine Chamberlain, and Kari Byron5 . He notes that Byron and Chapman are "big peerage names"5 . Regarding Grant Imahara, Mathis questions why his real first name (Masaru) would be changed to Grant, noting that Adam Savage also has the name Grant in his lineage5 . He also points out the name Chamberlain in the list, linking it back to the Chamberlains found in Savage's recent lines, suggesting possible familial connections among the presenters5 .

Mathis's overall argument is that these MythBusters presenters, due to their potential familial connections to the peerage and possible links to intelligence agencies, are likely aware that the Apollo Moon landings were faked. However, instead of revealing this truth, they participate in debunking the hoax arguments, thus controlling the opposition by framing the debate as a matter of mistaken beliefs rather than deliberate criminality5 .... He sees their participation as part of a larger effort by the "Phoenician Navy" (his term for a long-standing powerful network) to manipulate public opinion and maintain control5 .

Discuss Ongoing government cons.

Drawing on the source "American Moon BY MILES MATHIS.pdf" and our previous discussions, the author Miles Mathis strongly asserts that ongoing government cons are a significant and continuous feature of modern society, primarily motivated by the theft of taxpayer money from the treasury1 ....

Here are the key aspects of Mathis's argument regarding ongoing government cons:

•

The Artemis Program as a Continuation of the Apollo Con: Mathis explicitly labels the current Artemis Program, which aims to land people on the Moon by 2024, as another "fake"3 .... He points out its projected cost of $35 billion (which he predicts will drastically increase) and its similarities to the private Artemis Project from the 1990s, which failed due to the lack of low-cost space access – a problem he argues still persists3 .... He sees this as a direct continuation of the Apollo scheme, where taxpayers are once again being conned into funding a project that will never deliver its stated goals but will enrich those involved3 ....

•

Faked Mars Programs: Mathis also claims that Mars programs are fake and serve as another means to drain the treasury5 . While he notes that Wikipedia doesn't disclose the total cost, he mentions the Curiosity lander alone cost around $3 billion, excluding mission costs5 . This suggests a pattern of billing for space exploration endeavors that he believes are fabricated.

•

Subsidizing Private Companies for Fake Ventures: Mathis criticizes the government's subsidies to companies like SpaceX, which he deems "even more fake than NASA and Apollo"6 . He argues that the billions of dollars in subsidies awarded to SpaceX are further examples of taxpayer money being funneled into fraudulent projects, enriching private entities under the guise of space exploration6 .

•

The Ongoing Nature of the "Steal": Mathis emphasizes that the "con continues on a daily basis," and it's not just past generations who were fooled7 . He believes that current taxpayers are actively being defrauded through these ongoing programs3 ....

•

Lack of Accountability and Restitution: Because Mathis views the Apollo program and its successors as deliberate schemes to steal money, he questions why there has been no demand for restitution from the contractors involved and why these same companies and families continue to receive funding for new projects6 .... This lack of accountability, in his view, facilitates the continuation of these cons.

•

Comparison to Other Alleged Cons: Mathis draws parallels between these space programs and other events he considers to be government cons aimed at different objectives, such as spreading fear and confirming certain narratives. He mentions the faking of nuclear accidents like Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima as potential examples, arguing they serve to reinforce the reality of nuclear technology and justify defense spending9 . He also previously stated that the Cold War was a "fake" designed to steal money from both the US and USSR treasuries10 .

In summary, according to Miles Mathis in the provided source, ongoing government cons are rampant and primarily driven by the desire to steal vast sums from the treasury through deceptive projects and programs. He specifically highlights the Artemis and Mars programs as current examples mirroring the alleged Apollo hoax, with private companies like SpaceX also benefiting from this system3 .... He laments the lack of public awareness of the magnitude of this financial crime and the absence of any significant action to stop it or demand restitution6 ....

•

The entire Apollo program was a fake designed to steal hundreds of billions of dollars from the American treasury1 .... "They faked the entire Apollo program in order to steal hundreds of billions of dollars from the treasury, and therefore from you and your parents and grandparents1 ."

•

Films and exposés about the Moon landing being fake are often misdirection, preventing people from focusing on the massive financial theft and the ongoing nature of such cons1 .... "But that is misdirection, since that isn't why NASA faked the Moon landing1 ." "You never come out the end of any of them with the proper levels of anger3 ."

•

The current Artemis Program, like the original Apollo program, is a fake designed to steal billions of dollars from taxpayers4 .... "They are even now stealing more billions from you to pretend to send people to the Moon again4 ." "Of course this entire program will have to be faked, since we don't have the technology to go to the Moon5 ."

•

The alleged technical impossibility of going to the Moon, as suggested by Bill Kaysing, is a deliberate misdirection from the real motive: financial gain1 . "That is Bill Kaysing himself, at minute 24:00. The same quote is used in the FoxNews film as well. But that is misdirection, since that isn't why NASA faked the Moon landing1 ."

•

Many individuals who promote the Moon Hoax argument or debunk it are likely part of a controlled opposition or are complicit in obscuring the true criminal nature of the Apollo program6 .... "What I think we have here is a rather advanced example of controlling the opposition6 ." "That list makes me very uncomfortable as well, since most of those people throw up huge red flags7 ." "Mazzucco goes on to prove beyond any doubt that all of these people are paid liars8 ." "By pretending that these debunkers are earnest but mistaken people, Mazzucco controls your anger and thereby your response9 ."

•

The Cold War and the US-USSR space race were also likely faked to justify massive spending and steal money from both countries' treasuries10 .... "However, this is again misdirection, since the US and USSR were always working together10 ." "The US and USSR were pretend enemies in that period for the usual reason: to steal money from both treasuries10 ."

•

The large number of NASA employees who supposedly kept silent about the Moon landing being fake is not due to compartmentalization but because many modern people are dishonest and will lie for personal gain12 .... "The correct answer is that Modern people are liars and pussies, and it is fantastically easy to find 400,000 of them in the US12 ." "That is, I am surprised not when people lie, but when they don't13 ." "Most Americans are caught up in the American lie because they have been paid to do so14 ."

•

The claim that employees at Grumman, who built the lunar module, were unaware of the fake is implausible, as the shoddiness of the construction should have been obvious15 . "But Mazzucco later shows you the lunar lander was held together with scotch tape15 ."

•

Even if some individuals did try to expose the Apollo hoax, their stories would have been suppressed by the controlled media, leading debunkers to falsely claim that no one ever talked16 . "Their stories were squelched by the controlled media, and the only stories that were allowed to proceed were these controlled opposition stories we have encountered16 ."

•

The MythBusters show and its presenters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, are presented as agents who intentionally create misleading debunking arguments17 .... "These guys really make my stomach turn, and it is because the show is such an insult to anyone with basic intelligence17 ." "He has degrees in literature and Russian linguistics at Indiana University, meaning he was probably tapped for Intelligence18 ." "So. . . this is the same old Phoenician Navy messing with us, as usual19 ."

•

Philip Cary Plait (the Bad Astronomer) and James Randi are also identified as agents involved in perpetuating lies and discrediting truth20 .... "Turns out he was President of the James Randi Educational Foundation, which pegs him as a spook without further research20 ." "It claims to debunk pseudo-science, but actually does the opposite, debunking the truth in order to protect the web of lies that currently poses as science21 ." "I have previously shown that most of Randi's debunking was staged itself22 ."

•

Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller is also alleged to be an agent paid to debunk the truth, citing his "Bullshit!" show on 9/11 Truth23 . "True, since they are also agents, paid to debunk the truth23 ."

•

Paulo Attivissimo, another prominent figure in debunking Moon Hoax claims, is portrayed as a liar, with the author highlighting the meaning of his last name and his background24 .... "He is the one that is audacious enough to tell an audience that the use of scotch tape on the external seams of the LEM was sensible24 ." "Attivissimo's blog is called Il Disinformatico. No, seriously25 ."

Mazzucco's use of a fake film of the Space Shuttle and an animated image of the Phoenix Probe landing on Mars are noted as curious and unreliable evidence25 .... "At minute 1:25:23, Mazzucco uses a fake film of the Space Shuttle to confirm that hypergolic fuel is visible26 ." "Since that is an animation, it proves nothing25 ."

•

The author finds the lack of a visible flame under the ascending LEM to be less compelling evidence than the herky-jerky and unrealistic movement of the model in the footage27 . "So the lack of a flame under the LEM is actually the least strong evidence from that series27 ." "It explodes off the stand in an absurd lurch, and then rises in a herky-jerky manner, as if it is being raised by hand with strings— which it obviously is27 ."

•

The Chernobyl disaster is suggested to have been a fake event used to reinforce the reality of nuclear technology, with the photographer Igor Kostin's story being suspicious28 .... "But he does not consider the possibility that film was exposed to radiation later and on purpose28 ." "So here's a question for you: why did Kostin never suffer any ill effects from his exposure?29 " "For confirmation Chernobyl was another fake, see this 2019 article from Mental Floss, admitting the Exclusion Zone shows no signs of radioactivity at all30 ."

•

The author disagrees with Mazzucco's assessment of astronauts as exceptional and courageous, arguing they were complicit in a major financial crime30 . "What? Did Mazzucco just miss watching his own film? We have seen that the astronauts of the Apollo program were the opposite of exceptional and courageous, since they helped perpetrate one of the greatest crimes against the American taxpayer ever30 ."

•

Bart Sibrel's encounters with Apollo astronauts are viewed as potentially staged, given Sibrel's background and methods31 .... "To me this looks as staged as anything else31 ." "First, ask yourself why Armstrong calls him Mr. Sibrel32 ."

•

Mazzucco's film ends abruptly without a summation or call to action, which the author finds to be another example of controlled opposition, failing to incite proper anger and demand for restitution33 .... "After the segment on Sibrel, Mazzucco abruptly ends the film, with no summation33 ." "So why not go to these military/space contractors and demand our money back?33 "

•

The author interprets Philip Plait's "Bad Astronomy" moniker as a hidden reference to a peerage name ("Slecht"), further linking him to the alleged conspiracy35 . "I suggest it is because he thinks the jokes goes both ways, and is better on his side35 ."

•

The fake Kennedy conversation in "American Moon" further supports the idea that the Apollo program was primarily about spending money36 . "So some rogue part of US Intelligence later released this fake conversation to make that point36 ."

•

The author includes personal anecdotes about his own appearance compared to Paulo Attivissimo as further (subjective) evidence of his claims about honesty25 .... "They say that honesty doesn't pay, but in some ways it does, visibly25 ."

Please note that the order of importance is based on my interpretation of the author's central and recurring themes throughout the provided excerpts.
