Hello Everybody,   
      
   Scientists are taught to doubt.   
   Not just anything, but everything.   
   Therefore, it stands to reason that   
   scientists, and most especially   
   scientists, have serious doubts that   
   Neil Armstrong was the first man to   
   have set foot on the Moon.   
      
   Since it is impossible to prove a negative,   
   it must be admitted that somebody other than   
   Neil Armstrong may have been the first man   
   to have set foot on the Moon.  Even if that   
   first man happened to have been a woman.   
      
   NASA claims that Neil Armstrong was the   
   first man to have set foot on the Moon.  But   
   only because President Richard Nixon ordered   
   the space agency to make that claim.   
      
   Think about it.  Richard Nixon won election   
   to the presidency based on a campaign promise   
   to end the war in Vietnam.  "Peace with honor,"   
   said Tricky Dick.  And what is the first thing   
   that he did as president?  He set out to finish   
   what JFK had started - landing a man on the Moon   
   and returning him safely back to Earth before   
   the end of the decade.  Given that Nixon took   
   office on January 20, 1969 and accomplishing   
   that goal in less than five months speaks   
   volumes about what was most important to   
   who was later to become the most hated man   
   in America.   
      
   Furthermore, it should be noted that the   
   last manned landing on the Moon was in 1972,   
   shortly before Nixon won re-election to the   
   presidency on his same campaign promise of   
   ending the war in Vietnam slogan of "Peace   
   with honor."   
      
   The Watergate break-in was not was most people   
   think.  Bob Woodward reported what was told to   
   him by Nixon's most trusted aide then known as   
   "Deep Throat" - a story that was a coverup of   
   the real story, never revealing the real reason   
   for the break-in.   
      
   President Nixon had ordered a select group   
   of specially trained operatives to steal the   
   contents of a brief case holding information   
   concerning a secret landing on the Moon.   
   Since this lunar landing had occured before   
   Neil Armstrong's famous broadcast, nothing   
   could be left to chance for Nixon's opposition   
   (George McGovern) to make political hay.   
   Therefore, the evidence had to be destroyed.   
      
   Unfortunately, a wayward janitor happened   
   to find the brief case before the operatives   
   could grab hold of it.  Not wanting to get   
   caught, the operatives made their way out   
   of the hotel after planting bugs in the   
   opposition's office in order to make them   
   appear to be inept burglars - just in case   
   the police arrived to investigate.   
      
   Here's the thing about what was in that brief   
   case.  The Apollo program was just a cover for   
   landing a man on the Moon.  The real reason was   
   to make contact with beings from another world.   
   The first scheduled Apollo flight was aborted   
   by these aliens before it even got off the ground,   
   killing three of our astronauts in a deadly fire   
   in the process.  This was a warning to President   
   Nixon not to invade the Moon.  In order to prove   
   to these aliens that we meant no harm, the next   
   six Apollo missions never went anywhere near the   
   Moon.   
      
   Having convinced the aliens that we are a peaceful   
   people, President Nixon ordered NASA to begin direct   
   flights to the Moon.  Apollo VIII circled the Moon   
   but did not make any attempt to land.  Apollo IX did   
   the same as Apollo VIII.  Ditto with Apollo X.   
      
   However, at some time between Apollo X and Apollo II,   
   two secret manned flights to the Moon took place.   
   The first secret flight to meet with the aliens at   
   their headquarters, the second flight to cover up   
   the first secret flight (just in case the opposition   
   was to get hold of the operation before the 1972   
   presidential election).   
      
   Of course, the successful public lunar landing of   
   Neil Armstrong guaranteed that nobody would question   
   the wisdom of President Richard Nixon making secret   
   lunar landings prior to that grandiose event.   
      
   "One small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."   
   - Neil Armstrong, fifth astronaut on the Moon   
      
   In his memoirs, Neil Armstrong said that he had   
   wanted to plant the United Nations flag on the surface   
   of the Moon, but was ordered by President Richard Nixon   
   to plant the U.S. flag.  As such, who owns the Moon?   
   Did Nixon make a deal with aliens from another world?   
   Certainly a treaty must have been signed ...
