Husband insists moon landings were faked and 9/11 was a false flag secret operation the Americans did to themselves

[AmberTigerEyes]

I am désolé
My husband, he tell me he really believe there has never been a moon landing and that the 9/11 attacks were faked too.
I was in New York on 9/11
He knows this
He keeps saying things that have been disproven as conspiracy theory myths.
I wonder if I should be calling for a mental crisis unit.

The genuineness of the original moon landings is in effect proved by the lack of Russian denial. They were desperate to get to the moon first and had all sorts of hardware up there, to say nothing of equipment tracking the Apollo flights. If the moon landings were faked, they would have known about it and would certainly have fully publicised it.

My ex husband swore the holocaust didn’t happen.

This thread is eye opening and pretty depressing. Apparently conspiracy theorists are all around us.

The lack of knowledge ("why has no-one been back to the moon since?" 🤦) and lack of logic (somehow 400,000 people managed to keep the secret, alongside, the US's enemies, in order to make the hoax work?) is pretty terrifying. And this is on a board that is mostly inhabited by well educated professional women.

A really useful post - Thank you.

The Internet was a military invention that was around long before the world wide Web (www) was launched.
The www was built ontop of the military Internet which still exists and is now know as the darknet, the reason that governments cant shut down the darknet is because it would take out the Internet for everybody and they'd need yo start rebuilding it from scratch without the original military Internet which would take decades.
Oh and the 1st publicly available PC was 1971 and it was invented by a man called John blankenbaker. Google him

I didn't mean I believed the ML were faked. I meant I agreed with the man laughing at OP saying to go to the moon in the day.

It's space. Aerodynamics aren't involved because there is no air. Doesn't matter what shape something is. Until the object enters gravity/atmosphere it will keep moving

Think really carefully about what you just said and about what the word aerodynamic means...😂😂😂😂

I was making a joke.

Farenheit 9/11

I'm a believer in no smoke without fire. This was produced back in the day before bots etc took over the internet.

It may be that the moon landings were faked but it's not easy to prove that in a way that people can easily understand. Someone said, it's easy to prove because, you know, lasers. Means nothing to most people.
I don't care if the moon landings took place or not and don't actually have an opinion on it.
What I think is important is that people in positions of power are capable of lying, plotting, cover-ups and so on and those who witness it are so reluctant to speak out.
Look at Mo Fayed. No one spoke out about him.
Princess Di may well have been killed in an unfortunate for her (fortunate for the Royals in the long term) car crash but don't tell me there aren't people who would willingly sacrifice the life of a trouble-making woman for the institution of monarchy.
9/11 - 3,000 odd people would have been a worthwhile sacrifice to some
Look at the Post Office scandal. People wanted to believe it was cock-up, rather than conspiracy as it actually was.
Epstein - say no more

The recent moon jolly took top spot on the news for days while the story of the women in Nigeria who are having to watch their babies being sliced in two (Channel 4 news last night) gets far less coverage. We have our priorities all wrong.

That's brilliant 😂

Glad to read he’s your ex

I lost a friend that I loved dearly on 9/11. A couple of their belongings were eventually found in the rubble, including a credit card. Not everything in the buildings burned to a cinder.

Question? Obviously. But that comes with looking at scientific research (which has to be done carefully as most of us don't have the knowledge base to interpret it fully), investigating the scientific consensus and thinking logically. Conspiracy theories tend to fail all elements of this.

What do you mean we can barely take off these days?
We have a space station. We have reusable space craft. We’ve just done the furthest mission ever. Saying we can barely do something much simpler than what we are doing is just silly.

I agree with him about 9/11. It was a false flag. It's now been well documented and we tbh we, the peasants, are just pawns in their game. And no, I don't need to go into a crisis unit or any other unit but I do do a lot of research and it's important that we don't just accept what we are told.

Leaving aside a lot of very involved technical detail, what became the Internet started off as ARPANET which was funded as a military research project. In the early 80s the military stuff split off to become MILNET and what was left - predominantly US universities - is what became the basis of the public Internet. The foundational building blocks of the modern Internet such as BGP, DNS, the underlying physical networks and so on are in no way reliant on the military.

The darknet is nothing to do with the military. It's an overlay of the existing Internet using different encryption protocols, naming systems and search engines than standard web traffic. It's mostly used for illegal stuff. If it were shut down tomorrow the rest of the Internet would be absolutely fine. - the only reason it hasn't been shut down is that it's built to be very resilient. Shut down some nodes and the shady characters who run them can spin up replacements within minutes.

The inventor of the PC is a disputed term, not least because it depends on what you think the classifies a given device as a Personal Computer or not. If we're talking small, desktop devices that were Turing-complete then there were contenders for the claim from HP and Olivetti in the late 1960s. They were way more useful than Blankenbaker's Kenbak-1, too, as that had no I/O other than a few LEDs and switches. The Datapoint 2200 from 1970 is another contender.

Because Trump and Netanyahu are demonstrably corrupt and acting in ways no other government has, you’ve decided all governments in history were really this bad but you only noticed now?

I'm going to have to stop reading this thread. The sheer stupidity of a surprising number of posts, is really shocking.

9/11 as a false-flag is in no way whatsoever "well documented". It's a hodge-podge of wild-assed claims, many of which contradict each other, a lot of which are disproven by existing evidence. Moreover if it is true it would require a vast conspiracy to perpetrate and yet not a single person has come forward to claim direct involvement.

And has been shown to be nonsense earlier in this thread. Please don’t encourage people to watch misinformation.

Well documented? Bollocks. It’s been well talked about out by idiots. How disrespectful to people (including one on this thread) who lost friends and relatives.

its not stupidity to not believe all the slop you’re fed

The slop is the poorly researched bollocks on the internet that conspiracy theorists are prepared to believe.
