Re: Amazing...

This is not necessary as they can be found here on earth:

https://phys.org/news/2012-01-lunar-mineral-tranquillityite-western.html

“Third lunar mineral - Tranquillityite found in Western Australia

Back in the heyday of the Apollo moon program, hundreds of pounds of rock samples were carted back to Earth by visiting astronauts. Those samples were then pored over more thoroughly by geologists than perhaps any other rocks in human history, and after all that study, three minerals were found that were unique to the moon: armalcolite, pyroxferroite and tranquillityite. The first two were subsequently found over the next ten years on the surface of the Earth as well, but the third, named after Tranquility Base, site of the first moon landing, had never been found here on this planet, at least not naturally, tranquillityite has been found in meteorite samples. But now that’s changed.

...”

This is in German:

https://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/wissenschaft/Zwischen-Mond-und-Erde-stimmt-die-Chemie-id19387626.html

“Researchers have made an interesting discovery that cast doubt on the previous assumption of the formation of the moon.

The moon and the earth have much more in common than was previously thought. A team of researchers consisting of Americans and Swiss have analyzed rocks of the moon. They found out that the moon is a geochemical twin of the earth. The moon consists to a large extent of earth material.

Re: Amazing...

You gotta love this. The president behind this “journey to the moon” has been murdered. So was his brother and a few others. Their murders were covered up with lies. The ones behind the murder could take part and deflect the investigations EVERY FUGGING TIME. There is tons of evidence about it, to no effect.

Almost every war the US engaged in was preceded and accompanied by LIES. This is well documented – to no avail. The last time the US (and England + other dog) fired missiles at Syria in a big show, it was based on a lie. This has been proven already, once more. Consequences: 0.

Nobody believes you anything anymore. The “moon landings” had so many “bugs” that they are almost comical. Almost, because “a few” people were murdered, of course, to get this show running.

The “revival” of those “moon landings” (including “revamped” material) is due to the Chinese moon landing. They showed us a different moon. One that looks surprisingly like you'd expect it to look, when bazillions of tiny meteoroids sift the ground.

I can still recall hi-res (black & white) photographs in the magazines. Well, that was the West Coast apparently – nothing like the moon.

Another reason for the repetition is “Goebbel's mantra”: For a lie to become the truth, you have to keep repeating it over and over...

There are tons of pictures of it, where it's all full of footprints on the ground, but the car left no tracks.

In addition, their lift-off is hilarious. They couldn't fire anything like boosters in a studio, so they just pulled it up and sped up the film. Nobody would've survived those Gs. Plain out sidesplitting!

Assange’s legal team have alleged that the lack of conclusive DNA evidence suggests that fake evidence may have been submitted and is calling the entire process into question. ..."

They don't need to. They get an extra CPU from Intel. It can access everything, while you can't access it: https://itsfoss.com/fact-intel-minix-case/

"The Truth About the Intel’s Hidden Minix OS and Security Concerns

...

Built into many Intel® Chipset–based platforms is a small, low-power computer subsystem called the Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME).

...

Simply said, that means Intel ME adds another processor on the motherboard to manage the other sub-systems. As a matter of fact, it is more than just a microprocessor: it’s a microcontroller with its own processor, memory, and I/O. Really just like if it was a small computer inside your computer.

...

By design, Intel ME has access to the other sub-systems of the motherboard. Including the RAM, network devices, and cryptographic engine. And that as long as the motherboard is powered. In addition, it can directly access the network interface using a dedicated link for out-of-band communication, thus even if you monitor traffic with a tool like Wireshark or tcpdump you might not necessarily see the data packet sent by Intel ME."
