Was the Moon Landing Faked?

Many speculate the moon landing was faked. People say this because the US was in a space race with Russia, who was their rival at the time.  It’s probable they wanted to assert their dominance as a country by being the first to get to the moon, even if this was not probable. Here are some reasons as to why the moon landing seems faked:

 

The Lighting is Off

In the video of the first man walking on the moon, some shadows go in different ways. In the photos below, note how the shadows of certain objects are not going in the same direction.

Here you can see the astronaut’s shadow go behind him while the flag’s shadow goes in the opposite direction

 

A Stage Camera Can Be Seen in an Astronaut’s Helmet

There’s a strange reflection seen in one of the astronauts helmet. This reflection is still unexplained. It is shaped oddly like a stage light.

 

You Can See a Rock With a “C” Engraved On It

In the background of one of the photos, you can see a strange rock. The abnormal thing about this rock is there is a bold C engraved into the rock. A lot of the time when there is repetitive props in movies or plays, like rocks, trees and bushes, they are lettered or numbered on the bottom. On a diagram of the stage design they write the letters where each prop should be. The C looks like a stage marking. It has been debated as to whether or  not this is an original image, but this is still part of the theory. The photo below was actually found on a website with an image of the same or a similar looking rock from the moon landing video without a C. This part of the conspiracy is very debated. Many believe the photo has been edited. 

Wind on the Moon?

On the moon there is no oxygen. No oxygen equals no wind. But for some reason in the moon landing video, the American flag is literally waving. Look for yourself:

 

The Ground is Undisturbed

The astronauts described the surface of the moon as being comparable to wet sand. Their footprints, light in comparison to that of the weight of a space shuttle, left marks in the surface of the moon. Yet when the shuttle landed, it left no trace on the surface.

The Sky is Starless

On Earth you can see stars quite vividly with the naked eye. Through the atmosphere, some light is distorted. This is actually a common issue for many astronomers and telescope enthusiasts. The atmosphere makes seeing the already faint stars even harder. Telescopic imaging is handicapped by the atmosphere’s interference with viewing. This all considered, the moon has no atmosphere. On the moon the stars should be more vivid than anywhere on Earth. There’s no blue sky to hide the stars or a smudgy atmosphere full of gases to cloud our view and to distort the light. Upon further inspection of the footage from the moon landing, you can see that there is not a single glimmer of light in the dark sky.

 

 

Though many forms of evidence support the moon landing being faked, personally I believe the moon landing did actually occur. Many of the supporting details of this conspiracy can be debunked. That does not mean the suspicions proposed in this conspiracy are unfounded or invalid. It is always right to question the world around you. After considering the facts, do you believe the moon landing was faked?

The Mandela Effect

 

How do you know your memories are real? What proof do you have? Looking back, many people have recently recalled small changes in our world occurring. Their memories say one thing, but the truth another. Thousands of people remember names of companies, movie lines, events and people dying falsely. A proposed theory for these false memories is called the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect is a theory that states that universes merge and a wide spectrum of changes can occur in our world as a direct result. This conspiracy is mostly held up by the logic of the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect states that even the slightest change at a given point in time could ripple and change the world drastically. Is a ripple in our universe to blame for the false memories thousands of people harbor? 

Nelson Mandela

This conspiracy derives its name from Nelson Mandela. Fiona Broome, an author and researcher, wrote in specific detail about Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 80’s, not long after his “death”. Many of her colleagues remember the exact day Nelson Mandela died in prison and recall specific details. Some people even remember what they were doing when they found out. People were shocked to find out Nelson Mandela actually died fairly recently in 2013. When headlines said “Nelson Mandela passes away” in 2013, people were shaken. It was as though their memories weren’t real.

 

The driving force behind the Mandela Effect is it’s hundreds of examples, including:

The Berenstain Bears

    A great, very prevalent example of the Mandela Effect, this cartoon’s spelling has baffled people for years. The Berenstain Bears is an old cartoon about a family of bears, popular in the late 1990’s. Many people in our population swear that it used to be spelled Berenstein Bears and not Berenstain Bears. To this day, when I ask people what they remember the show being spelled as, they always spell it “Berenstein”. People even pronounce it that way. There is no existing record of the company changing the shows name.

Sex in the City is actually Sex and the City 

The very popular TV show Sex and the City was a hit in the early 2000’s. Many people remember the show actually being called “Sex in the City”. The show has no recorded name change. It supposedly has always been called Sex and the City though thousands of people recall it being “Sex in the City”. An odd thing about this theory is that a perfume line actually exists based on Sex and the City called “Sex in the City: Feelings”. This perfume is still found to this day, as shown in the photo below.

In Snow White the line “Mirror mirror on the wall” is actually “Magic mirror on the wall”

The famed movie line, “Mirror mirror on the wall” is quite incorrect. This has been quoted thousands of times…could a simple misquote spread that rapidly? Many people claim that “Magic mirror on the wall” doesn’t even begin to sound correct. Here’s the line in a clip from Snow White. 

“Oscar Meyer” is actually Oscar Mayer

“Chic-Fil-A” is actually Chick-Fil-A

“Jiffy” peanut butter has always just been Jif

It has never once been called Jiffy though many people remember Jif peanut butter being dubbed “Jiffy”.

Bill Graham’s Funeral

Many people recall seeing Billy Graham have a televised funeral. This actually never happened. Billy Graham is alive and well today. According to the Mandela Effect website, multiple people have claimed to be severely shocked by this Mandela effect.

 

“Loony Toons” is actually spelled Looney Tunes

“Reddit Whip” is actually Reddi Wip

“JC Penny” is actually JC Penney

“Kit-Kat” has no hyphen; it’s just Kit Kat

Curious George doesn’t have a tail

The Monopoly man doesn’t have a monocle

This example is so prevalent that people have even cosplayed and made fan art of the monopoly with a monocle.

 

Despite the facts behind this conspiracy, there are still some explanations that could replace the Mandela Effect. The thought that parallel universes or time travelers are altering the world we live in currently sounds down right crazy. That’s until you experience the Mandela Effect for yourself.

 

 

 

   

The Conspiracy Cat

In our ever evolving world, everything gets more and more complicated. Many situations are left unexplained to the masses. To answer the gripping unsolvable people decide to formulate their own answers. All conspiracy theories even are are proposed solutions to unanswered questions, or simply just speculations. The thing I find most interesting about conspiracies is the depth of research you can find yourself in within just a few moments of googling a conspiracy. With this blog I hope to bring a broad spectrum of conspiracies to an audience who has never heard much about them. Enjoy delving into conspiracies with me!
