Did America Really Land on the Moon? - Felix

1)Logical consistency: Dr. David Groves is expert in photo and holigram anaylsis:
Further more he has these qulifications which I must say is supportive of his expertise.
PhD - BSc (Hons) Class I/Applied Physics.
PhD in Holographic Computer Measurement.
Chartered Physicist and a Member of the Insitute of Physics.
In addition to these the moon landings of america has been constantly accused of being faked at the start of the 21st century. Further more we are not talking about a someone does not know what he is talking about, this person is no amature, he is an expert. He was also able to gain and analyse one of the shoes of the astronoughts.
It's discovered by him from the photos that indeed there was an artificail light source, however the appo 11 did bring lights with them so where did it come from? Inaddition this scientist also manage to overthrow the view that the light came from a natural souce the sun, however as he explained on the video the brightness of the sun light reflected on the moon should be constant however, tiny rocks are not even lit and has massive shadows, proving once again that this could not have possibly been the real moon service.

2)Observational reliability I belieave this video has alot of observational reliablitity as we are shown images and evidence of what they belieave is faked on the pictures of the moon landing of apollo 11. Inaddtion to this they also give cameria views on minture made models of the apollo 11 and did tests to see if the picture matches the artfical lighting they have created on the model.

3)Awareness of value, judgments and propaganda - This maybe a british video, however briton is an ally of america and there is no need to disclaim such a unbelieavable thing in american history. However even the Americans them selves have a documentary on the apollo 11 being faked. To have so many documentaries on appollo being faked is interesting, and not only from other countries but from america itself.

4)Authority/ citation/ peer review - This video has strong and powerful authority as it is based upon the views of experts inaddtion using modern technology to analyise pictures taken. We have been show the the possible solutions that other have comed up with for faked lighting, however they have proved all them wrong now. Even using the most famous picture of the reflection in the viser they have proved that it did no come from a natural light and the camera was not in the correct position according to the picture.

5)Awareness of source, intention and audience - There is intension is to show us that through their expertise they have proved that pictures of moon landings have been staged. They may want to get fame or things by making things up however, they have gotten hold on some rare equipment like astronoughts shoes, specailzed computers that anaylize images. Like i said these people are not amatures they are expert photo analysis.

In conclusion, this video has powerful evidence and the source of which it came from is very solid. They show us pictures and solid evidence and techincal terms of techniques in photography. To sum it all up we have ask WHY HASN'T AMERICA EVER SENT ANOTHER TEAM TO THE MOON?

Climate Change - Is it really happening? - Harvir

Watch the documentary 'The Greenhouse Conspiracy'.

Global Warming is a theory put forward by scientists that the world's temperature is rapidly increasing, because humans are not taking care of their planet. There are several reasons which suggest that global warming is infact a hoax, and that the people promoting it have different motives than just 'saving life on earth'.

Firstly, the documentary puts forward the fact that the United Nations is using Global Warming to bring together a 'World Government'.

In addition, as we all know, Africa has been undergoing massive deforestation in the past decade, in an attempt to boost its economy. As a consequence, scientists have made up the idea of climate change to prevent Africa from doing this, so that it preserves some of the few great rainforests that are left on our planet.

It's also suggested that political leaders such as Margaret Thatcher are only emphasising the importance of acting against climate change because they want to lure environmentalist and green groups on their side.

In the past, scientific groups have had tremendous difficulty in presenting ideas to the world, because they simply don't have the funding to do so. As a result, they could be using global warming in order for them to solve their financial problems, by worrying and pleading to the public for help.

In conclusion, global warming is made up by scientists because they have several motives that the general population is unware of, and they're using a made up theory (global warming), in order to meet some of these motives.

UFO: The Greatest Story Ever Denied, Moon Bases - James

In the past, people thought that there's only life on earth. From the video above, it's uncertain. In this knowledge claim video, it shows alien bases which exist on the moon. The photos taken have been blurred by American Agencies to prevent the secret from leaking, causing a public paranoia based on this. However, on many of the picures, there are still clear traces of the general shapes of the bases. This has never been spotted by us on earth before because that certain section of the moon barely ever rotates towards the earth.

Moon Landing Hoax (Steven & Krisch)

This video obviously shows that the moon landing in 1969 by the Americans was a hoax. The video shows us that a massive pole hits the actual space shuttle (which is again, a hoax). The mis en scene might demonstrate an alien surface, but as the video shows, this ‘alien area’ is obviously fictitious. Also, from the latter video, it shows us that the flag which has been planted on the move is moving. Clearly, there is no air, nor atmosphere in space. Thus, there would be no breeze on the moon; thus it is fake. Thirdly, there is about 1/6th of the gravity on the moon compared to the earth. That means that if the Americans were to be on the moon, their speed would be immensely slow and bounce would be higher because the gravitational pull wouldn’t nearly be strong enough.



Nick & Joe (9/11 Conspiracy Theory)



This carries on from the presentation that we recieved at the start of the year.

To summarise, the video discusses the possibilies of a plane causing the collapese of the Twin Towers. It rasies the points that the buildings were specifficaly designed to withstand multiple crashes. Furthermore, it highlights inconsistant details in videos of the plane contacting the towers such as a sudden explosion Before the plane even touches the face of the building. It goes on to to eye witness accounts of hearing multiple and systematic explosions inside the first tower after the plane struck.

Many people will question the motive of such a conspircy. The following video gives a plausable explaintion, referencing a scene from the Popular NBC show "Heros":


It shows that the government may have "Let it happen on Purpose" for their own benefit. It suggest that in such a disasterous event, when people are afraid, hopeless and terrified, they will blidly place their trust in the government, allowing them to control the public without question or resistnace.

9/11 conspiracy, It was never a terrorist attack. (Jungwoo Park)

The Twin Towers that were destroyed in the 9/11 tragedy, was actually a controlled demolition by the American Government that was made to look like a terrorist attacks. The American Government was willing to kill hundreds of people and then lie to everyone in order to wage war with Iraq. A lot of people believe that the American Government is hiding a lot of facts, and a lot of people believe that George Bush wants to steal Iraqs oil.
There are numerous suspicious points about the 9/11 attacks itself and some of them seem too unreal. The World Trade Centre was supposed to be a megastructure, and would not have toppled so easily by a plane. The WTC has a steel skeletal internal frame inside and according to the chemical properties of steel, the steel frame could not have melted so easily by the blast of the plane. Another strange point is that the tower sort of crumbled into itself, but this effect usually only happens in controlled demolitions. In some videos, it shows smaller explosions coming out of the window and some witnesses of the attack said they heard small bangs and explosion sounds.
The attack on the Pentagon seems quite suspicious as well, because the Pentagon is supposed to be the most well protected building in the world, but if it was so well protected, could it have let a plane simply crash into its wall? Also, where was the debris from the plane and why was the hole so small in the pentagon?
I believe that it was all just a planned demolition to scare the people and let them trust the government more and also another reason to wage war for personal gain.

Ruby's knowledge claim



This is a knowledge claim about the creation of the world, according to the Chapter of genesis in the Christian Bible. God was the one who created the whole world, in six days, from the universe, then earth etc... There are six different areas to consider to examine whether this claim is a reliable one.

1)Logical consistency - Although this video is from a book written by men, i believe this story is still very reliable. According to the bible, God first created the heavens and earth, then the landscapes, then plantations, then animals and finally humans. I think this is a very logical sequence of how the world could have been created. If there were no plantations, animals won't be able to live. If there were no heavens and earth, landscapes cannot be created. Therefore the whole order of how the world was created is very logical in my opinion.

2)Observational reliability - Firstly, the video is an anime, therefore there is no reality observations availiable. However, by lookin at the world we are living in today, everything mentioned in the bible created by God is extistent today - trees, sea, animals, humans etc... We can at least confirm the story was not crazily made up, there're observational proofs in the world to support the claim.

3)Awareness of value, judgments and propaganda - This claim's value is based upon christianity, perhaps in some ways it is propaganda as it is one of the most fundamental basis of the christian belief. Since religious events has no definite proof, it can be argued that this claim is therefore a ofrm of propaganda.

4) Authority/ citation/ peer review - this claim is from a strong powerful authority - the christian bible which is the best selling book ever. The christian faith is also a long religion and affects many in the world. It would be wrong to say this claim is simply a story made up randomly.

5)Awareness of source, intention and audience - The intention of this claim is to make people believe in the omnipotent power of God, and the audience is for people who are non-believers or also believers of God.

6) Awareness of knowledge selection, priotization and editing - In this particular anime, the full details of the genesis story wasn't shown. The more interesting parts were selected and priotized to perhaps make the anime and story sound more interesting and attract the audience.

In conclusion, although there are certain areas where this claim may not be reliable; it is still important to note that this claim is from a very powerful authority and religion, and that the story is not random but is logical and makes sense.

Knowledge Claim Astrid + Edward R

Moon Landing: Fake or Fact?
Moon Landing.

We are claiming that the moon landing is a hoax. Bill Kaysing was a librarian/writer of technical publications and advanced research at Rocketdyne Systems from 1956 to 1963. He states that it was estimated in 1959 that there was a .0014 chance of landing man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth. This took into account the effects of radiation, solar flares and micro meteorites. He could not believe in 1959 that man could go to the Moon.

Evidence states that an important factor to take into consideration is the great variations in temperature that the film would have had to endure whilst on the lunar surface. The temperature during the Apollo missions were recorded as being between -180F in the shade and +200F in full Sunshine. How could the film emulsion have withstood such temperature differences? The astronauts can be seen to move between the shadows of the rocks and then into full sunlight in some shots. Surely the film would have perished under such conditions? If the film used during the Apollo missions had such qualities as to withstand such differences in temperature, why are Kodak not publicly selling them in today's market?

There are other series of evidence expanded in the video's content.

Knowledge Claim: Ben Lau, Edward Tsim

Due to technical difficulties, we were unable to post the video, but the GOOGLE CONSPIRACY link is here. :P

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GzA9Xu_oEo

The video is composed of CGI ONLY. When the narrator is addressing a speech, the video simply implies an image that visually matches the narrator’s speech. No real footage of video, sound evidence is available to support what the narrator saying may be true. Throughout the end of the video, the narrator uses alot of rhetorical questioning to suggest to the audience that some unimaginable things may be true but not directly stating that it is. The narrator also points out that a CIA agent suggested something about Google helping the government, but the CIA title makes the video sound authentic which leads to the audience believing that it's true.
