Janitors of Lunacy

A commonly held belief among "conspiracy theorists" is that the americans never went to the moon. An alternate view is that they went, but found something horrible there and haven't dared to go back. The new book "Dark Mission" from feral house focuses on NASA's alleged occult roots and strange religious leanings. From the blurb:

For most Americans, the word NASA suggests a squeaky-clean image of technological infallibility.

Yet the truth is that NASA was born in a lie, and has concealed the truths about its occult origins. Dark Mission documents this seemingly wild assertion.

Why is the Bush administration intent on returning to the moon as quickly as possible? What are the reasons for the current “space race” with China, Russia, even India? Remarkable images reproduced within this book provided to author Richard C. Hoagland by disaffected NASA employees provide clues why, including information about suppressed lunar discoveries.

Mystical organizations quietly dominate NASA, carrying out their own secret agendas behind the scenes. This is the story of men at the very fringes of rational thought and conventional wisdom, operating at the highest levels of our country. Their policies are far more aligned with ancient religions and secret mystery schools than the facade of rational science NASA has successfully promoted to the world for almost fifty years.

Dark Mission is proof of the secret history of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the astonishing, seminal discoveries it has repeatedly suppressed for decades.

Richard C. Hoagland is the former science advisor to CBS News, author of The Monuments of Mars, and a frequent guest on the popular radio programs Coast To Coast and The Art Bell Show.

Mike Bara is a consulting engineer for Boeing aircraft. This is his first book.

Latest: A NASA employee was fired for making a statement in the book:

Fired NASA Whistleblower to Reveal New Apollo Secrets Kept Classified by Space Agency for Over 40 Years.

Dr. Ken Johnston, former Manager of the Data and Photo Control Division at NASA's Lunar Receiving Laboratory during the manned Apollo Lunar Exploration Effort in the 1970's, was abruptly terminated Tuesday morning, October 23rd, from NASA's prestigious "Solar System Ambassador" (SSA) Program at JPL. The firing was direct reprisal for Johnston's published account in a New York Times Best Seller, "Dark Mission: the Secret History of NASA," of how NASA ordered him, 40 years ago, to destroy key Apollo lunar images and data -- rather than allow them to be preserved for academic study and public view. Johnston will testify at an Enterprise Mission sponsored National Press Club news conference this Tuesday, October 30th (Zenger Room, 9:00 AM) , how he disobeyed these NASA orders, secretly preserving the critical Apollo images. Johnston will then show some of the "missing" Apollo frames -- which confirm the existence of long-rumored "ancient artificial ruins and technology on the Moon," discovered by the Apollo astronauts but legally classified under the 1958 Space Act by NASA for over 40 years.

Johnston will be joined by Richard C. Hoagland, former NASA consultant and CBS News Science Science Advisor during the Apollo lunar missions. Hoagland is coauthor of "Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA," and head of The Enterprise Mission. Hoagland will present an imaging analysis of Johnston's 40-year-old rescued Apollo images, comparing them to modern versions apparently currently being "leaked" by other "whistleblowers" on official NASA websites. He will also demonstrate and analyze one of the secret technologies retrieved by the Apollo crews, relating to the artificial control of gravity.

Fear and Paranoia at ConCon7

PARANOIA used to be "The Conspiracy Reader", now the word "paranormal" has joined up on the cover. A bad sign, as it's more often than not just a euphemism for idiotic ghost- and UFO-delusions touted by crackpots who don't even have the guts to take the leap of faith it takes to become a christian. The mag has been plagued and sometimes dominated by pseudo-religious nutjobs from the start in '92, but I tend to read it for the other stuff, articles with at least some small connection to the "real" world.

This time, Adam Gorightly (author of the Kerry Thornley biography) goes to the Conspiracy Convention 07 in San Jose, an event where the "conspiracy theorists" have a hard time enjoying themselves, as the paranoia grows during the weekend. They might be infiltrated by government agents! Writer Kenn Thomas of Steamshovel Press suspects some kind of foreign implant in his knee, but is reluctant to have an operation to remove it, as fellow conspiracy author Jim Keith DIED during a seemingly simple operation of the KNEE! Oo-ee-oo.

Other lecturers claim that there are no laws on the books that requires americans to pay taxes. Gorightly is wary that they might end up like Bill Cooper, author of "Behold A Pale Horse" who was SHOT after witholding taxes. And he was an above-the-KNEE amputee. The goverment wants all your cash and your KNEES too, so watch out!
