Back To My Roots: NASA And Their FAKE Apollo Moon Missions - The Apollo Moon Landings By Marcus Allen

Northerntruthseeker at Northerntruthseeker - 1 hour ago

It is now just over 35 years since I was first told outright that all of NASA's Apollo manned moon missions were faked.... At that time, as a 19 year old bright yet brash University student who had at the time so much faith in the "system" and never doubted anything written in our "history" books as well as what was told by our governments and media, it was an eye opener and probably the turning point in my entire life.... It did not take me long after that original revelation to deduce that the entire Apollo program was fake, and that man could not land on the moon for a myriad of ... more »

Comcast's CEO must just be kidding when he calls swallowing up Time Warner Cable "pro-consumer, pro-competitive, and strongly in the public interest"

By "they," I guess I meant the FCC, the FTC, the Justice Department's Anti-Trust Division -- whoever would have to sign off on a corporate conglomeration that would turn two pretty powerful playes in the cable industry one behemoth.
