No source for that story I see.

I also see that it misses out the fact that Sibrel had been hounding Aldrin all day - it wasn't just a chance encounter in a hotel, he'd been making a nuisance of himself for much longer than that.

As for breaking the law - where is Aldrin's criminal record for that event? Please produce proof that he broke the law, because the law says he didn't.

As for thinking for myself - check the website in my signature. That's all me thinking for myself, not copying and pasting other people's nonsense.

The death threats were made by someone who said other people were out to kill him.
The direct threat to sue was never said to be for defamation, you made that up. Mitchell said to Sibrel "And if you continue this, and you press it.." he will sue him. That is it. He did not mention anything about defamation, or such.
Again, defamation was never mentioned, so why say it over and over, if it's not true? Are you lying on purpose? Or is it something you imagined him saying?
Mitchell immediately tore up Sibrel's card, and said suing him was 'frankly not worth it".
If Mitchell really believed it was "not worth it" to sue Sibrel, then why did he threaten to sue him moments earlier?
Because it was meant as a threat, to intimidate Sibrel out of continuing his project. Same as the death threat was meant, to intimidate Sibrel.
Yes, they were simply "asking questions"!
"Want me to get my gun and shoot him, Adam, before he gets out..?"
"Wanna call the CIA and have him whacked?"
These are called death threats. They are said as questions, to each other, in front of the person. They are making death threats to Sibrel, which is hardly just "asking questions". They are meant to intimidate Sibrel, that part is true.
I've explained it in hopes of convincing you to see the truth. But only you can change yourself..

because it isnt a death threat, ive had some guy tell me to leave a girl alone or he will cut me, should i assume it was a genuine death threat and report it??..
That is entirely different. You were threatened to get cut, not get killed.
Also, of you had previously beat up the girl, or something beyond normal boundaries, then there would also have been a logical reason as to why he would threaten to cut you. That is not like Mitchell, who had made up his mind already.
If you were threatened to get cut by someone out of the blue, for no reason, right at that moment, then for sure, it would be considered a threat. And you could, and should, report the threat to the police. That isn't what you've described, however.
Again, you don't get it. A death threat was made, but the threat was never followed through, as we know. That doesn't mean it was not a death threat, because it was. A death threat does not have to be followed through to be considered a death threat. Nor does a death threat have to be made directly to be considered a death threat.
Do you understand these important points yet? If you don't, then it's time for you to look it up yourself... because I'm tired of explaining this over and over to you..
I didn't see the film until well after the death threat was made, so I already knew it was not a concern, because it never went through. Thus, no need to report it. But you know that, I'm sure.
Only if they were under the delusion that the person wasn't moments away from leaving their property, then they would. But if the person is about to drive away, they would not. Now, please grasp this very simple concept, already!!
One more time - I never had a 'genuine' belief his life was in danger. That's just you, who never stops trying to make things up for me I never said.
The authorities didn't mention any of this, so it had nothing to do with why they dropped the charges.
Beverly Hills police investigated the incident, which occurred 9 September, but said that the charges were dropped after witnesses came forward to say that Mr Sibrel had aggressively poked Mr Aldrin with the Bible before he was punched.

You seem to think I made it up, so now you know better..

You can always keep on pretending it was mentioned as a reason for dropping the charges, if you like. It's not true, of course, but why would that matter to you?

Aldrin did break the law. The authorities broke the law by saying he didn't.
This is a fact. The proof is right there to see. The law is wrong at times, and this is a prime example.
I choose the truth over what a corrupt judge says is true. You choose to accept the corrupt judge, instead.
I can live with knowing the truth is on my side. How can you live with all these lies, is what puzzles me..
Really?
Then please think about what would happen to you, if you were caught on film punching someone in the face, after they had called you a liar, and a coward...
What do you think would happen to you in a court of law?

The weather patterns on that image are specific to the time and date it was taken, and can be matched by satellite imagery that wasn't available when the photograph was taken (they hadn't been taken yet).
Hard to argue with that.

All you've done is post an article that says what many people have said throughout this thread, myself included: that Nixon just rode on the coat-tails of Apollo for personal and political advantage.

No, you are of course completely wrong because you haven't read the new book by Logsdon.
Logsdon said that Nixon's space legacy locked NASA to low earth orbit for 40+ years - and he is correct in saying that because it is true.
Why are you ignoring the new Logsdon book which proves that Nixon was in control of the Apollo narratives???
I'm wrong because I haven't read a book you like?

Logsdon is not the book I like --- it is the book you are avoiding.
