I know, I know - I still owe you guys a review of "World Manned Cosmonautics" - but I couldn't pass this one up.

During my stay in Jersey for the UACC show (for those that care, I was the lunatic wearing the black 'Buran' shirt on Saturday :-) ), I took the subway to Brighton Beach and spent a few hours shopping and conversing with the locals (in Russian, of course!)

Anyway, I found this book that was impossible to pass up. We've all heard the usual crap from the conspiracy theorists. THIS GUY, on the other hand, implies a much larger, international conspiracy.

Title: Anti-Apollo: The Lunar Fraud of the USA
Author: Yuri Mukhina
Publisher: Eksmo Press, 2005
ISBN: 5-699-08657-9
432 Pages

Publisher's Link: http://www1.eksmo.ru/catalog/book?b=62803


Quick Summary:

>< From the back cover (Sherlock translation) ><

In the new book of well-known researcher and pamphleteer Yuri mukhina are examined all "proofs", by which the empire of evil - USA, attempts it made a fool the world community, assuring, that the American astronauts allegedly vysazhivalis' to the Moon in 1969-1972. It is proven that the ruling mode of the empire of evil plundered the money, isolated by American taxpayers for the lunar missions, and the scene of "debarkation to the Moon" took on the Earth director Stanley kubrik. It proves, that this shady transaction not could it would be
realized, if not the help of the CC CPSU and part of the mean representatives of Soviet science.

In this new book the well-known researcher and publisher/publicist Yuri Mukhina examines the "proofs", which the evil empire (the USA), tries to fool the world community into believing that the American astronauts allegedly landed on the Moon from 1969-1972. It proves that the rulers of the evil empire stole the money allocated by American taxpayers for the lunar missions, and the scene of "landing on the Moon" was filmed on Earth by director Stanley Kubrik.
It proves that this fraud would not be possible without the help of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party and the participation of the despicable
representatives of Soviet science.

This should be cool! I'll try to skim through the book in the next week (with appropriate pharmaceutical assistance :-) ), and post a few things.

I KNEW IT!

I knew that the whole "Cold War" was a joint American/Soviet hoax! It was all faked just so the fat cat politicians in both nations could line their pockets with stolen money from military and space programs! I bet Kennedy and Khruschev were laughing it up after the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I know this is true because I read it somewhere on the internet, and the internet never lies.

That's fascinating. I would be interested in finding out _why_ he thinks that the "despicable" representatives of Soviet science would want to participate in an American cover-up. I'd also be interested in knowing why the Soviet leadership would cooperate in this as well.

Then again, it is probably no more interesting than most conspiracy theories, which are really no more interesting than a car crash on the side of the road--we slow down and gawk, shake our heads, and then continue on our way.

I recently acquired a new moon hoax book produced by somebody that I had never heard of before. This one is a real piece of work because the writer disbelieves everything, even obvious stuff. For instance, she claims that even the "flying bedstead" lunar landing simulations were faked. Her evidence for this is twofold. First, there are no flames visible from the "rocket" exhaust underneath the vehicle. Second, no pictures show above the vehicle, because she thinks that it was suspended from a helicopter. Of course both counts are laughable. The vehicle used a jet engine, not a rocket, as you can clearly see in many of the photographs of it sitting on the ground. Second, there are plenty of moving images of the vehicle in autonomous flight, not suspended from a helicopter. But this book includes several pages on how the whole thing was faked. (Also it is slightly interesting that in this case the conspiracist is a woman.)

For a long time now I have been meaning to do some research on the psychology of conspiracy theories, as well as some reading on the social aspects of it. I have heard that some societies, like Russia, are much more conspiracy minded than the US. And conspiracy thinking is apparently rampant in the Middle East, where many Arabs blame Israel for everything that goes wrong anywhere.

Could you tell me the name of the book and the author?

Thanks

I'll have to check and get back to you with the name of the book and author. I need to find where I put it. I know that I stuck it in a file folder labeled "moon nuts."

Both websites appear to be bogus.
