Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said she is under federal investigation after she participated in a November video urging U.S. military servicemembers to reject illegal orders. “Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn’t like. The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work,” Slotkin said.

And it’s not going to work. Watch my full response. pic.twitter.com/j6Z9bYqi5y — Sen. Elissa Slotkin (@SenatorSlotkin) January 14, 2026 POLITICO has more: Slotkin, who was recruited by the CIA as a Middle East analyst and served three tours in Iraq, was among five other Democratic military veterans featured in the video, including Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Reps. Maggie Goodlander (N.H.), Jason Crow (Colo.), Chris Deluzio (Pa.) and Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.). Trump at the time called the lawmakers’ actions “seditious” and said they should face trial. Crow said he had been contacted by the Trump administration as well about the video. “Donald Trump is using the Department of Justice as a weapon to harass and intimidate me in particular, as well as the other members who filmed that video,” he told reporters. “We are not going to stop it from us doing our job.” Kelly this week filed a lawsuit against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other senior military leaders after his own investigation was announced and the Defense Department began to take steps to downgrade his retirement rank. Slotkin first told The New York Times she had learned about the investigation from the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Pirro’s office told POLITICO it does not confirm or deny the existence of federal investigations. “Facts matter little, but the threat matters quite a bit,” Slotkin told The New York Times, according to Fox News. “The threat of legal action; the threat to your family; the threat to your staff; the threat to you,” she added. “Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay,” Hegseth said regarding Kelly earlier this month. “To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly’s reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly’s official and permanent military personnel file,” he added. Sen. Mark Kelly Takes Legal Action Against Pete Hegseth Following Retirement Pay Reduction, Censure Letter Fox News shared further: The senator's lawsuit said the Trump administration's actions "trample on protections the Constitution singles out as essential to legislative independence." "It appears that never in our nation’s history has the Executive Branch imposed military sanctions on a Member of Congress for engaging in disfavored political speech," the lawsuit states. The Pentagon's actions "violate numerous constitutional guarantees and have no basis in statute," the lawsuit adds. A War Department official told Fox News Digital that the agency was aware of the lawsuit. "However, as a matter of policy, the Department does not comment on ongoing litigation," the official said.

Verizon, one of the largest cell phone carriers in the United States, experienced massive outages on Wednesday, impacting over 150,000 customers. “We are aware of an issue impacting wireless voice and data services for some customers,” Verizon told ABC News. “Our engineers are engaged and are working to identify and solve the issue quickly. We understand how important reliable connectivity is and apologize for the inconvenience,” it added. There were more than 130,000 incidents of people reporting issues with Verizon's services around 1:11 pm ET, according to Downdetector. https://t.co/oTVTkeRdly — HuffPost (@HuffPost) January 14, 2026 ABC News shared more: Many Verizon customers said on social media that their phones showed “SOS” in place of network bars. According to Downdetector, at least 175,000 Verizon customers were affected at one point, but that number has since gone down. Downdetector, a site that tracks outages, said Verizon customers began noticing interrupted service around noon Eastern time. By 3:30 p.m. Eastern time, the number of Verizon customers affected by the outage was down to less than 60,000, according to Downdetector. “Verizon engineering teams are continuing to address today’s service interruptions. Our teams remain fully deployed and are focused on the issue,” Verizon stated on social media. “We understand the impact this has on your day and remain committed to resolving this as quickly as possible,” it added.

However, your iPhone can still make emergency calls using other networks and possibly via satellite. If you need to make an emergency call, press and hold the side button and either volume button simultaneously until the sliders appear and the countdown on Emergency SOS ends, then release the buttons. Or, you can start an Emergency SOS call by quickly pressing the side button five times. To set up that feature, go to Settings > Emergency SOS, then turn on “Call with 5 Presses.” On an Android phone, you may see “No Service” or “Mobile Network Not Detected,” but you can make an emergency call using Emergency SOS mode, on Android 12 and later models, notes prepaid phone provider TextNow.

After extremely high-level talks today at the White House between Denmark, Greenland and the USA, it appears that a deal may be reached after all. Listen to the Danish Foreign Minister stating he will be forming a new working group with the goal of “finding a common way forward”: NOW – Danish Foreign Minister to work with the U.S. to “find a common way forward” on Greenland. pic.twitter.com/beHvPbnI8j — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 14, 2026 TRANSCRIPT: We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement, but we also agree to disagree. And therefore, we will, however, continue to talk. We have decided to form a high-level working group to explore if we can find a common way forward. The group, in our view, should focus on how to address the American security concerns, while at the same time, respecting the red lines of the Kingdom of Denmark. We expect that such a group will meet for a first time within a matter of weeks. And then I will pass the floor to my colleague from Greenland, Vivian Westbolt. Ok, a few thoughts…. This kind of reminds me of Scott Adams yesterday saying he is not a believer in Jesus Christ, but….I’ve got nothing to lose so let’s give it a try! Ok, which is it? That’s how this statement feels to me. If I had to decode it, I would say the TRUE message here is: “Okay, we will make a deal but sweeten the offer.” That’s how I think this ends. Because I do know one thing for certain, and that is President Trump has ZERO interest in forming a working group with a stated goal that does not include the immediate and full transfer of ownership of Greenland to the USA.

I am SO excited to bring you this interview I did today with Dr. Margaret Aranda over on my show, The Daily Truth Report. A truly incredible person and life story, and I don’t even know how to summarize it without just giving you bullet points. In ONE interview, we covered all of the following: Her incredible credentials as an MD, PhD critical care physician with nine years ICU experience in the fields of anesthesiology, traumatology and intensive care medicine — in other words, she knows her stuff and has extensive training, both in the classroom and in the hospital room. Then a Near-Death Experience that sent her down that hallway/tunnel and ended up in what she says was clearly and obviously Heaven, with a light so bright she knew instantly it was God. Of course, she was then sent back to her body, and a period of 12 years followed where she had to re-learn how to walk and speak. In the midst of all of that, as she was trying to help patients and providing “alternative treatments” that worked but Big Medicine did not like, they stripped her of her medical license sending armed officers to her house!  Sound familiar?  How many times did we hear that same story during COVID? After that, her husband was diagnosed with bladder-cancer, and through a treatment regimen that included Ivermectin and Vitamin B17/Amygdalin/Laetril, along with fasting, prayer and several other things not approved by Big Medicine, he is now cancer-free! We talk about all of that and more, and she gives the specific protocol she used to treat her husband. This was a really special one and I think you are going to love it.

NASA has announced it plans to return to the Moon in 2026: New dawn, new day, new year. Onward to the Moon in 2026! pic.twitter.com/uU6N7eWPCM — NASA (@NASA) January 1, 2026 Not just in 2026, but CNN reports it could be as early as February: “The landmark mission, dubbed Artemis II, is on track to lift off as soon as February. The highly anticipated endeavor will mark the first time astronauts have ventured beyond the bounds of near-Earth orbit since the final Apollo mission in 1972. Artemis II will send a group of four astronauts — NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch as well as the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen — on a trip around the moon.” Meanwhile, NASA is not exactly inspiring confidence when they couldn’t even spell all four Astronaut names correctly: Correction: the correct spelling of Jeremy’s last name is Hansen. — NASA’s Johnson Space Center (@NASA_Johnson) April 3, 2023 If they can’t handle basic spelling of the for key names, I don’t think I’d want to trust my life buzzing around in the dark vastness of cold, empty Space! An even bigger concern are the Van Allen Radiation Belts which can fry onboard electronics and could be fatal to humans. Watch this legendary 2014 video from NASA where they admit they have to “solve that challenge” with Orion before sending humans through this area of space! Wait, what? So how did you do it in 1969 with Apollo then? NASA in 2014: we must solve the challenge of the deadly Van Allen Radition Belts before sending astronauts through them! Ok, so how did you allegedly do it back in 1969 with Apollo? pic.twitter.com/cCvwo3Yi2s — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) January 12, 2026 That short clip is part of this longer video from NASA about the Orion spacecraft that will be used in this mission: Assuming they pass through the Van Allen belts, the spacecraft will not actually land on the Moon but just kind of “scoop the loop” and fly around it and then head back home. And you though your road trips were long! Early next year, humans will fly around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years. Our Artemis II crew is training hard for their historic mission. Last week, they suited up to run tests inside the Orion spacecraft that they’ll ride to space: https://t.co/K0dzWEWSRW pic.twitter.com/mAJyBzqDeC — NASA (@NASA) August 5, 2025 Here are more details directly from NASA: Every milestone in the Artemis campaign brings us closer to landing Americans back on the Moon and pushing onward to Mars. “In about six months, Artemis II astronauts will journey around the Moon for the first time in 53 years,” Duffy said. “America rallied behind Apollo because it represented the best of us – now it’s Artemis’ turn. They’re not just carrying a flag – they’re carrying the pride, power, and promise of the United States of America.” With Orion powered on, the suited crew test was a close representation of what the crew can expect on launch day. The crew began the day by suiting up inside the spaceport’s Multi-Operation Support Building, donning their Orion crew survival system spacesuits, boarding the zero-emission crew transportation vehicles, and entering Orion, which is currently inside the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, where engineers have loaded its propellants over the course of several weeks. Once in Orion, the crew performed several launch day activities, including communications checkouts and suit leak checks. For the first time, the crew was connected to the spacecraft and its communications and life control systems, and all umbilicals were connected while the spacecraft operated on full power. Teams simulated several different ground and flight conditions to give the crew more experience managing them in real time. Some of the activities simulated scenarios where the crew was challenged to address potential issues while in space such as leaks and failure of the air revitalization system fan, which is needed to provide oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the cabin. Getting this hands-on experience and learning how to act fast to overcome potential challenges during flight helps ensure the crew is ready for any scenario. The test provides astronauts the ability to train on the actual hardware they will use during flight, allowing them and support teams the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the equipment in configurations very close to what will be experienced during flight. It also allows teams to verify compatibility between the equipment and systems with flight controller procedures, so they can make any final adjustments ahead of launch. I sure hope they do it, but consider me skeptical. I still don’t believe for one second we went there in 1969 on the first try and then just dialed up the White House from the Moon to talk to the President.  Sorry, not buying it. RELATED REPORT: MOON MAN: Bart Sibrel EXPOSES The Moon Landings A couple days ago I had the pleasure of getting to sit down with someone who I've followed for a long time. One of the first people to speak out and say the Moon Landings don't add up.... One of the ONLY people in the world to get punched in the face by Buzz Aldrin.... And one of the best filmmakers out there. I sat down with Mr. Bart Sibrel and we chatted for over an hour. The time totally flew by, and I had about 20 additional questions for him that we just didn't have time to get to. After we had wrapped the interview, Bart commented to me that this interview flew by faster than any others he can remember doing recently, and I felt the same way. Whether you are a NASA fanboy or a Moon Landing skeptic, I think you're going to enjoy this one. There's a very real "cult of religion" surrounding the Moon Landings and so I know this is going to really ruffle some feathers. But it must be discussed because the truth will always rise to the top. In fact, Bart told me on air that he once came across a professor who said "even if I see Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong get on TV and confess to the world that the Moon Landings were fake, I will still believe they were true!" Hard to imagine anything more "cultish" and "brainwashed" than that statement, but I know we'll get some of that in the comments below. Nevertheless, I am talking about this and I had Bart on my show because I believe this is one of the largest conspiracies ever to be covered up. And you do know that "conspiracy theories" are only "conspiracy" until they are admitted or proven as true, right? And you do know that MANY have moved from "conspiracy theory" to "proven fact" in the last century, right? In fact, I recently asked ChatGPT to give me a top 10 list and you might be surprised to see this list of 10 events that were once considered "tin foil hat" conspiracy theories are all now either proven or admitted to be 100% true: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1932-1972): The U.S. Public Health Service conducted an experiment on African American men in Tuskegee, Alabama, allowing syphilis to progress untreated to study its natural history, even after the discovery of penicillin as a cure. Operation Northwoods (1962): This was a proposed plan by the U.S. Department of Defense to stage false flag acts of terrorism and blame them on Cuba to justify military intervention. The operation was never approved or carried out. MKUltra (1953-1973): The CIA ran secret mind-control experiments using drugs like LSD, hypnosis, and more on unsuspecting subjects, including U.S. and Canadian citizens. Operation Paperclip (1945-1959): After WWII, the U.S. government secretly recruited former Nazi scientists, engineers, and technicians, providing them with new identities to benefit from their expertise in various fields. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident (1964): Originally presented as an unprovoked attack on U.S. naval vessels by North Vietnamese forces, further analysis and declassified information showed that the event was misrepresented, leading to the escalation of the Vietnam War. COINTELPRO (1956-1971): The FBI's program aimed to surveil, infiltrate, and discredit civil rights and political organizations and their leaders. Operation Gladio: Post-WWII, NATO-backed secret armies were allegedly involved in terror and provocation operations to discredit leftist groups and stabilize political situations in Europe. The Iran-Contra Affair (1980s): Senior U.S. officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was then under an arms embargo, and used the proceeds to fund Contra rebels in Nicaragua, violating U.S. law. The poisoning of alcohol during Prohibition (1920-1933): The U.S. government knowingly allowed the poisoning of industrial alcohols, which bootleggers used to produce drinkable spirits. This led to thousands of deaths. Operation CHAOS (1967-1974): A covert CIA program to monitor and infiltrate anti-Vietnam War and civil rights groups in the U.S., despite prohibitions against domestic spying. So now let's talk Moon Landings.... Does that get moved to #1 on the list above at some point in the near future? I think it might. When it comes to the Moon Landings, I want to start with something Bart and I discussed....which is the fact that for everyone who thinks the Moon Landings were real, all the doubters used to be you! We used to be you.... We all grew up hearing about the Moon Landings, looking up at Space and thinking how cool it was that we'd been to the Moon.... A lot of us had the posters on our wall growing up.... We had the Globe in every elementary school classroom growing up and we were taught about the Moon Landings every year in school. We watched Star Trek and Star Wars and we loved it! We honored and revered the Astroanuts. We. Were. You! But then "A Funny Thing Happened".... I'll just speak to my situation, but I think this is how it goes for most people. I started hearing about how there was this group of people who said it never happened. "INSANE!" we all thought! But then eventually you decide, ok so what is going on here? It's so strange, how could they think that? And then you go down the Rabbit Hole into Wonderland and once you start digging in you realize, hang on, some of this actually doesn't make any sense! And once you hit that point you often never go back. It's the famous quote: "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation." The people who remain in contempt -- holding all doubters in consternation -- never investigate. And according to that quote, "contempt prior to investigation" is a bar against all information, leaving man in everlasting ignorance. So if that's you, I challenge you to simply....investigate! And when you start investigating, you're going to come across two different categories of information. The first category are what I call the micro-details. This is stuff like the shadows in the images are all wrong, the flag is not blowing right, there is a lack of stars, one rock has a "C" on it so it looks like it was a movie prop, the dirt is the wrong color, etc. There is a LOT of evidence in that camp, but that was never conclusive to me. Every piece of evidence has a counterargument and you can get mired in that back-and-forth all day long. It's really the second category that seals the deal for me, which is what I call the logical proofs. And the logical proof is simply this -- without any special training, any tests, any evidence of any kind -- you just simply need your brain and logic, and in order to believe we landed on the Moon in 1969-72, you have to believe the following: In order to believe we landed on the moon in 1969 you have to believe this simple claim: That we went 1,000 times FARTHER than we can currently send astronauts today... 50 years ago... On the first attempt... With one-millionth the computing power of today's cell phone! And then the kicker.....then we just never went back! Each one of those elements has never happened before in human history, let alone all of them at the same time. Let's break those down... Currently, even by NASA's own admissions, we cannot send human beings any farther than Low Earth Orbit (where the Space Station is) -- yet, in 1969 we went to the Moon which is 1,000 times farther.  Really? That was 50 years ago, and so we could do it back then but can't do it now. So technology went backwards? That would be like having the Internet in 2023 and then in 2073 the Internet is gone and we're back to computers with no online connection and we're back to using floppy disks. Technology has never gone backwards like that, ever. For all the visual learners, this: Watch this stunning clip here: Then you have to believe we did it perfectly on the first try! Amazing! Oh and we vertically landed the rocket on the Moon, meanwhile, it took Elon Musk 5 tries to vertically land a rocket in 2023.  They all kept blowing up! But we did it perfect, on the first try, thousands of miles away from Earth. With.....less computing power than we all currently walk around with on our cell phones. Think of that. NASA had ONE-MILLIONTH the computing power of our current cell phones. I can't even get the WiFi to work in my house half the time, meanwhile, with 1/1,000,0000th the computing power, we remotely landed a rocket on the Moon?  And then packed it up and flew it back home again?  Really? And then the big one.... After all that, we went back a couple times in the 1969-72 range and then we just never went back again for over 50 years and counting. Really? That has also never happened in human history. That's like discovering America in 1492 and then never going back again. Just decided to let it be! That ONLY happens if you CAN'T go back again, not because you choose not to. So to me, it's this logical argument that catches my attention and says something is wrong here, something is very, very wrong here.... And with that, please enjoy my interview with Bart Sibrel, where we go much deeper on all of this. Watch safely here on Rumble: And on YouTube here: If you want more, you need to get Bart's book, "Moon Man". Bart's book, plus a TON of free resources are all available at his website ? https://www.sibrel.com The best place to get his book is on his website, but if Amazon is more convenient for you you can grab his book Moon Man right here: Bart is most famously known for his film: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon. For anyone who believes the moon landings are 100% real and beyond any reproach, I challenge you to watch this 45 minute video and then report back to me. I've never heard from anyone who has watched this and not had their eyes opened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdQHKf48Mfw Backup here (since that will likely get taken down by the Tube): And one more backup here: Now let's examine the big Press Conference Buzz, Neil and the third guy had when they got back from WALKING ON THE FREAKING MOON! You'd think they'd have smiles from ear to ear that simply wouldn't wipe off...right? You know, something like how Sir Edmund Hillary looked after climbing Mount Everest -- see below: Look at how happy sir Edmund Hillary is and Tenzing Norgay they just climbed mount EverestLook at buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and Mike Collins they look like they were at a funeral they are obviously lying at this press conference they never went to the moon.They know the lie pic.twitter.com/mEqjsPTfYH — Persia❤ اریایی (@roya21042019) February 16, 2022 Nope! Instead they looked like this... You might say they looked exactly as you or I might look if you had just faked a Moon Landing and deceived and entire nation. But that's just my take, you be the judge. Do these look like guys who just walked on the Moon? Buzz Aldrin & Neil Armstrong at the first press conference after returning to Earth. Three truth tellers. The look of confidence, honesty & pure happiness after the greatest accomplishment in modern history. Wow! These guys are my idols. pic.twitter.com/1onOk2IeAk — An0maly (@LegendaryEnergy) August 18, 2019 You can watch the whole solemn press conference here on Rumble -- it's stunning: So...did Neil and Buzz and the third guy really walk on the Moon? Well let's talk about Buzz for a second. Did Buzz Aldrin just admit (again) that the moon landings were faked? Well, it sure looks like it. But we'll give you all the evidence and let you decide. A clip of Buzz Aldrin on Conan O'Brien's Late Night Show from 2000 is suddenly going viral right now thanks to this post on TikTok: @msmastafoxx Wait Til The End... #MsMastaFoXX #MyCreatorLife #Buzz #buzzaldrin #Nasa #Conspiracy #conspiracytiktok #Woketok #Viral #fyp #conanobrien #MoonLanding ♬ original sound - MsMastaFoXXCFNeocodeist In the clip, Buzz pretty clearly says the video of the astronauts walking on the moon was fake. I don't know how else you interpret that. I mean, I know this is a comedy show, but nothing about this clip appears to be a joke or a bit. Even Conan is taken aback and temporarily at a loss for how to respond (and it's his job to never be caught off guard as a talk show host). So watch the clip for yourself. And for anyone shouting "CONTEXT!" I've got you covered. Here is the full interview to watch the segment in context: The Reuters Fact-Check team has already investigated and determined what you heard Buzz say is totally "False". Just another one we all got wrong! God bless the fact-checkers, I don't know where we'd be without them! So somehow they've labeled this as "False" despite the part I bolded below where they seem to even admit that the footage is, in fact, mostly made of animations. This is their full report: Social media users are sharing a video of astronaut Buzz Aldrin being interviewed by American television host Conan O’Brien and claiming that Aldrin discussing parts of the moon landing broadcasts being animated is proof that it was all faked. He was referring to animations used by broadcasters at the time in their coverage of the moon landing, intercut with real footage. The moon landing did take place and men did walk on the moon. Examples of the erroneous social media posts can be seen ( here ) and ( here ). A longer video of the interview, dated May 17, 2000, can be seen on YouTube ( here ). At the 1:29 mark, O’Brien says: “Let’s talk about this because this is fascinating. I remember very clearly; I think anybody who was alive at the time does. I remember my parents waking me up and we went down, and we watched you guys land on the moon.” Aldrin responds: “No, you didn’t. Because there wasn’t any television, there wasn’t anybody taking the picture. You watched animation so you associated what you saw with… you heard me talking about, you know, how many feet we’re going to the left and right and then I said contact light, engine stopped, a few other things and then Neil said ‘Houston, tranquility base. The Eagle has landed.’ How about that? Not a bad line.” The moon landing took place on July 20, 1969 with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. NASA said in 2006 that no one could find the original video recordings of the July 20, 1969, landing. However, in 2009 NASA released a complete digital make-over of the original landing footage that clarifies the blurry and grainy images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the surface of the moon ( here ). A video compiled by CNN shows the available footage from the mission ( here ), including takeoff and the astronauts climbing down and walking on the moon. An article ( here ) by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum explains the challenges of recording footage of the moon landing and walking. NASA contracted with Westinghouse for a black and white camera costing $2.29 million to capture the iconic moment, according to the museum. Photographs of the camera, which was stored in the lunar module’s Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly near the ladder Armstrong can be seen climbing down, can be seen ( here ). “For us today, we can thank technicians for having recorded the broadcast, though the tapes assumed to be of the highest quality were never located despite searches for them in the last few decades,” the article reads. “What we see now on YouTube or in films are high definition scans of those best available copies.” An article by Vox ( here ) says some television networks built sets to recreate some of the moments that were not able to be captured on video. The National Science and Media Museum discussed the Apollo 11 broadcast on its website ( here ): “Many broadcasters used simulations to flesh out their Apollo programming. Networks paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for scale models of Apollo command modules and rockets. During the broadcast, these were used to create simulations of the mission which were then intercut with real footage.” “The thing to remember is what news was like in the late 1960’s, not 24-hour continuous coverage,” Margaret Weitekamp, Chair of the Space History Department at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, said by phone. “The coverage of that trip needed to be explained to the public without the ability for continuous relay of video we are now used to.” “Animations would have been a part of a constellation of different ways that that story was told over a series of days. At the time, the coverage would have been combined with animations that helped provide a broader picture of what was being done. But this certainly doesn’t invalidate that those landings took place.” There is no evidence that the moon landing was faked or that astronauts did not walk on the moon. However, there is plenty of evidence that it happened. Reports about the landing can be seen ( here ), ( here ) and ( here ). Photographs of the moon landing can be seen ( here ), ( here ), and ( here ). Reuters has previously debunked claims that the moon landing was faked ( here ), ( here ), ( here ). VERDICT False. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin explaining that broadcasters used animations during their coverage of the moon landing does not prove that it was faked. But that's far from the first time Buzz has seemed to admit the whole thing was a fake. You have to wonder if on his death bed Buzz will finally and unequivocally confess to the fake? Watch this clip on Rumble where an 8-year old girl asks Buzz why we never went back to the moon after 1972... A GREAT question! Because there is no other example in recorded history where something new was discovered and then we just stopped going there. Imagine discovering America in 1492 and then the Europeans just decided to never send another boat. Right, didn't happen. Would never happen. Doesn't pass the smell test. So watch this short clip where Buzz says the reason we never went back is because we never went in the first place! It must have felt good to finally get that off his chest I guess? And again, if you want the full context and full interview, I have that here: So.....was it all faked? And if it was faked, was it faked because....it has to be? Perhaps because there is a FIRMAMENT over our world, like Genesis tells us? It's literally in the first 7 verses of the Bible, almost as if God wanted to make it pretty hard to miss? Genesis 1: 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. Almost as if we couldn't be through the firmament, let alone get to the Moon, even if we wanted to? I asked Bart about the Firmament near the end of our interview and even pressed him a second time on it. It was a fascinating part of the chat.   The obvious place this whole discussion leaves us is with the question of a Flat Earth. The three biggest red pills usually go in this order:  9/11, Fake Moon Landings, Flat Earth. Where are you on that list? 0, 1, 2 or 3? To be fair, Bart is a 2. He does not believe in Flat Earth. I don't know what is true myself, but I do know this:  I can't prove a Globe Earth without using NASA and Masonic Astronauts, so it's not high on my conviction list. Is it Flat? I don't know. What do you think? And what do you think of the Moon Landings?
