Here is a unique interview done by Sibrel, featuring perhaps the earliest Apollo-hoax author of them all, Bill Kaysing, who wrote a book in 1974 under contract with Price, Stern, Sloan: We Never Went to the Moon. (See minute 10:, 44: ) Apparently filmed in 1996 (see min. 49)
.
Skip the first 2 minutes:
This 1-hour interview was originally going to be included in Sibrel's "A Funny Thing Happened..." but was deleted out of time constraints. It seems odd that not even a few minutes of Kaysing were deemed relevant. Kaysing touches on many topics, most of which are not found otherwise here in this thread. I found it most interesting when he enumerates the conspicuously timed deaths of key witnesses in the years during and following Apollo. Kaysing himself died shortly after giving this interview.
I watched the entire video, and I also read Baron testimony transcript. These are notes I took on just about everything he talks about.
Just to start off I'll list what I agree is suspicious:
--Baron's report being lost and the circuмstances of his death (car stalling at a railroad crossing, and kaysing claims no autopsy was performed, which was against Florida law at the time)
--The FBI taking Grissom's papers from his home after his death, and never returning them
--not taking a telescope along
--unclassified apollo records not available to the public
Kaysing got the idea to write about the moon landings being fake from a homeless vietnam vet (as a joke). He then, while still assuming the moon landings really happened, got a contract to write the book by the Jєωιѕн publishing house Price, Stern & Sloan (which specialized in joke books). So it seems he originally intended to write the book as a joke. Kind of a strange genesis, don't you think? I see from looking at his publishing output that he was part of the back-to-land movement in the early 70s.
--the set of the interview is ridiculous. a crackling fireplace, romcom lighting, cheese platter and wine for the guy to munch on.
--Baron's death is suspicious , though I read that there was a witness to his death and so no foul play was ruled. Kaysing suspects Baron was murdered, though suspicion doesn't equal fact, Baron also stated in another video I watched that he had been harassed at him home by NASA because of his work. Why didn't they also kill General Sam Phillips, who Kaysing says corroborated much of what was in Baron's report? Also Phillips was in total command of the Apollo project. It's odd that he and his wife weren't autopsied, which was against Florida law at the time. Kaysing doesn't mention the stepdaughter that was killed. Was she autopsied?
--Baron's report going missing is suspicious
--some of technical stuff he talks about i would have to study more about, from both sides, and some of it is simply above my head
--not taking a telescope up is suspicious, and plays into the idea that the landing was filmed in a studio. kaysing says that astronomers would have been able to immediately detect foul play if the conspirators had attempted to fake the stars. that's probably an arguable point. if nasa had astronomers in on the conspiracy they might have been able to cook up something which would fool other astronomers.
--the account about his contact with james irwin can't be confirmed. we just have to take his word for it.
--the account of the pilot seeing a capsule dropped out of the cargo hold of an airplane isn't confirmed. that would be a gigantic news story. why didn't the pilot inform his airline or other people in authority. even tell someone anonymously, giving the coordinates at which the capsule was dropped, other details. the pilot doesn't reveal his name or the airline he worked for, for fear that he'd be fired? sounds fishy. i'm supposed to believe the pilot kept this a secret for years or decades and decided to call into a radio show one day? kaysing should tell us what radio show and the date of the radio interview.
--as for the capsule not creating steam from the impact with hitting the ocean, kaysing says that none of the pictures taken of the landings show steam. are there any pictures taken of any of the Nasa capsules landing that were taken at the landing? it's my understanding that the specific landings location couldn't be predicted. ships and planes could only be in the general area of the capsule landings, therefore no pictures or video could be taken of impact.
--he mentions that he was doing an interview with KOME radio station in san jose, ca in dec 7, 1975 and the interview with shock jock victor boc went off the air due to someone in a helicopter dropping napalm on the radio station's transmitter. you'd think this would be noteworthy enough to include on KOME's Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOME it may indeed have happened, i'm just surprised i can't find info. on it through a quick search. he claims that this attack was due to someone not wanting him to tell his story. earlier he said he did hundreds of interviews promoting the book when it was published. i doubt someone would bother to silence who had already told so many people that the moon landings didn't happen. it's never, ever been dangerous to talk about the moon landing being a hoax. at worst most people will view you as a harmless crank. maybe even a loveable crank who's fun to hang out with at the bar and swap tall tales.
--apollo records not classified and yet not available to the public is suspicious
--any proof that this hindman even exists, and was a "direct employee" of neil armstrong? kaysing says that hindman was "claiming to be from the manned space center in houston". What, he never confirmed this?
--the people here are doubtful that the tetra was used to fake observers into thinking the apollo spacecraft went to the moon. i don't understand this technical stuff, but the people at the link sound like they know what they're talking about and they dispute the claim:
https://www.apollohoax.net/forum/index.php?topic=998.15--i can't find any information on the animation expert "george powell". he says that powell worked on the movie "voyage to the moon". is he talking about the melies silent film?
--bill wood rocket scientist, seems like a fishy guy from the video i saw of him: --https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASbSBbn9JX8-- he makes a stupid mistake at one point in the video stating that explorer 1 discovered the van allen belts, when he knows explorer 1 was sent as a result of the belts being discovered in 1958. he looks and sounds like a dumb, low-quality person. kaysing puffs him up by making him sound like a super-genius. i researched this guy a bit more and found others that share my perception of him:
http://www.apollohoax.net/forum/index.php?topic=740.0--i couldn't find any info. on van muellin. i spelled it a number of ways with "astronomer" and "leiden university" but couldn't find anything about him. kaysing says that this man "claims" stanley kubrick was hired to script apollo missions 11, 12 and 13. lots of claims. he keeps refering to stanley kubrick as "stan", as if they're buddies or something, and telling us how kubrick thinks.
--he makes the tired claim that the "public lost interest" in moon landings after apollo 11 and that nasa was going to have to buy time for the networks to cover the landings. not likely that the public lost interest, but that the Jєω tv networks decided for the american people what they would be interested in. this has never made sense to me. i hear it all the time. He says, "once you've seen something you don't want to see it again". ridiculous. i saw a beach once and never wanted to see it again.
--he talks about his libel suit against lovell for calling him "wacky", but leaves out the part where the case was thrown out of court.
The moon landing may indeed be a hoax, but you'd think there'd be higher-quality evangelizers than kaysing and sibrel, who both give off a huckster vibe. They don't help me to give the hoax theory the benefit of the doubt. They're smart enough to figure out the moon landing was a hoax, but are suddenly dumb about Jєωs?
