Saw that video a while back and thought Sibrel on target. The late reaction from Mitchell was odd to say the least... It made my Conspiritorial/Cynical Mind flash!!...

It is about trying to intimidate Sibrel, for sure. Mitchell is afraid of Sibrel's film being released.

and NASA being NASA who would have to be watching each and every astronaut very closely as they would have first hand proof of the hoax, watched all this happen..
but even if they werent watching Mitchell, god knows why they would allow that as they would need to keep very close tabs on each and every astronaut, Mitchell was afraid of Sibrel's film being released and he would have notified the NASA goons, or even Aldrin would have.
so NASA being fully aware of Sibrel and his intentions, they continued to monitor him and when the time came they sent all their goons to silence Sibrel before he could release his "astronauts gone wild" in a mysterious but accidental house fire which just so conveneintly burnt all the footage/interviews and Sibrel's footage of which we are currently arguing over, is conveniently completely detroyed.

First of all, the astronauts probably never mentioned this to NASA, afterwards.
Why? Because the astronauts didn't want anyone to even know about it, and especially not NASA. That's why they tried to intimidate Sibrel out of showing his film in public.
Consider what Aldrin said to Sibrel (iirc)- 'You're talking to the wrong guy. Talk to (or ask) the administrator at NASA. We were just passengers. We're just guys going on a flight..'..
So Aldrin is essentially blaming NASA's administrator for the whole thing, by saying that.
Aldrin would never tell NASA about it, that's for sure.
As for Sibrel, he had already released the footage of Apollo 11 astronauts (supposedly) halfway to the moon. NASA didn't know about the film until Sibrel had released it to the public. What could it help NASA to kill Sibrel, after his film was released? It would be worse, if anything, for NASA to kill him.

so you are saying that the astronauts who were directly involved in the hoax are not being watched by NASA??
originally posted by: choos
so basically you are suggesting that Aldrin had free reign on who he wants to give an interview to, NASA has no say on this at all and at any moment he is free to divulge all his secrets during the interview without NASA knowing.. ok understand!!
originally posted by: choos
it wouldnt be worse.. because all that would have been seen was the "documentary" "a funny thing happened ...." which had alot of holes in the argument.. as soon as NASA realised he was chasing Aldrin around, boom car accident or fire destroying all the evidence never to see the light of day.. this whole argument wont exist at all.
the only argument to exist would be who killed Sibrel, and the answer would be a mysterious/freak fire/accident (which happens without causes) , so the best hoax theorists would have is it must be because of the film "a funny thing happened..." but all just mere speculation and absolutely nothing solid..
originally posted by: turbonium1
We can't actually prove they are being watched, but it makes sense they would. Just look at what happened to one of them after he contacted Bill Kaysing, for example.
Aldrin didn't divulge any secrets about hoaxing it, though, so we'll never know what, if anything, would've happened if he had.
You can't say Aldrin wasn't watched, because he said nothing to warrant further action, anyway.
You're assuming Sibrel wouldn't have made copies of this footage, and given it to others, before he showed it to the astronauts?
It would make sense he'd have made copies, and sent them to others in trust. It's what I'd have done, for sure.
Now, if NASA killed Sibrel, and the film he was about to release came out after he was killed, it would look much worse for NASA...
The issue is Mitchell and Aldrin reacting so bizarrely, to Sibrel...
originally posted by: choos
copies of something that he is still in the process of making??
Sibrel would have been known about after his first "documentary" and you think that the people behind the greatest hoax in history who have maintained the secret for over 40 years decided to overlook this?
remember his first film?? or do you want to conveniently ignore that it was released before any interview had occurred??
did Sibrel ever mention being contacted/watched/threatened constantly by unknown goons??
originally posted by: turbonium1
We don't know if they watched Sibrel, or the astronauts, or not, and it doesn't matter if they did or didn't. Or if they wanted to kill Sibrel, or if they felt it could look worse to kill him, after the fact.
None of it matters.
Aldrin and Mitchell reacted to Sibrel like scared rabbits, that's the main issue you have to address....
originally posted by: choos
none of it matters??
lets see now.. if what you say is true and they didnt land men on the moon and the astronauts are forced into lying about it for the rest of their lives, it would be sensible to think they are being watched.. any people they contact or talk to will need to be watched also, ESPECIALLY if that person has already made a documentary regarding exactly what they wish to hide!!
but to you that doesnt matter because all that matters is the astronauts reaction to a video of which NASA would have known the contents of but allowed to be released..
i see you painting two pictures of NASA, one incompetent one that is incapable of faking or hiding the hoaxed manned lunar landing for over 40+years and the other which is capable of doing so..
the problem is is that you want both of these organisations to exist at the same time and be one and the same.. it makes zero sense that they would let Sibrel make his second film given the power that you believe they have.. if they dont have the power that you believe they have, the secret would have been out within a few months after Apollo 11.
originally posted by: turbonium1
Why would NASA let Sibrel make his second film?
What does the second film have in it which NASA would want to keep such a great secret, and would have killed him for? Nothing, zilch, nada. The film has nothing in it but astronauts ranting and raving like lunatics. They look wacko, sure, but they don't say it was a hoax, or anything. Not good, but not ruinous admissions of a hoax, so they would have no worries. Not to kill him for, certainly.
NASA has the power to kill him, but no reason to, so they didn't. Easy for you to grasp the point, if you had really wanted to.
And you still have not addressed the main problem, yet again.
originally posted by: choos
what you are saying now is basically that Sibrel's video have NO SUBSTANCE.. they are so far off the mark that NASA has allowed him to produce his second film without any interference at all.
originally posted by: choos
why would they do that?? if you believed that Sibrel was on the mark with his theories then obviously NASA would have sent their goons to do something about it.. but nothing nada zilch..
Sibrel had free reign to interview astronauts over several months/years but was not harassed once by NASA goons.
originally posted by: choos
so which is it?? NASA the omnipotent organisation capable of keeping the hoax secret for over 40 years or the NASA that thinks letting its astronauts to have interviews with well known hoax theorists is not a threat to one of the largest conspiracy in human history lasting 40+ year??
originally posted by: turbonium1
However, while the astronauts reacted so strangely, they all insisted they they went to the moon, throughout the film. None of them said it was a hoax, ever.
That's why NASA would let the film be released, because nothing was mentioned by any of the astronauts about being hoaxed. They were losing it, but they didn't admit to a hoax.
NASA has the capability to keep the hoax a secret, and they have, for over 40 years. At least, they have made every effort to keep it a secret. They cannot stop people from seeing it for themselves, from their own images, footage, etc. in public view.
As I've explained, the second film has nothing in it NASA would need to kill Sibrel for. So that's why they didn't.
If the film showed all the astronauts admitting it was a hoax, and NASA allowed Sibrel to release the film in public, and didn't kill him, then you'd have a point.
Well, actually, that isn't true, You would not have a point. It would mean you have no argument at all, because it would be clear from their own admission that it was a hoax.
You cannot make any sense of it. But it makes perfect sense, actually.
THIS is when Mitchell made his threat to shoot Sibrel.
Mitchell threatened to shoot him.....before he leaves.
This has nothing to do with getting him off the property, and you know it.
Mitchell clearly is scared of what Sibrel will do with his project/film, and that's why Mitchell reacted so radically. First, he threatened to sue Sibrel if he chose to 'continue this', to wit, if he chose to continue his film. Mitchell was enraged.
The most extreme, bizarre reaction was, of course, when Mitchell threatened to shoot Sibrel before he leaves the property. This is obviously not said to get him off the property. He was nearly off the property, at the time. And Mitchell threatened to shoot him before he leaves the property. Shooting Sibrel on the property, would actually keep him on the property - since he'd be dead, or injured, before he could leave.
It is about trying to intimidate Sibrel, for sure. Mitchell is afraid of Sibrel's film being released.
To try and excuse Mitchell's behavior as justified is nonsense. Mitchell wasn't trying to get Sibrel to leave, he threatened to shoot him before he COULD leave!
No, that's not at all what I'm saying.
Once again, so you'll hopefully get it right --
Sibrel's second film shows astronauts who react bizarrely, with sweating, nervous, intense anger, over someone who claims he has proof of the moon landings being hoaxed.
However, while the astronauts reacted so strangely, they all insisted they they went to the moon, throughout the film. None of them said it was a hoax, ever.
That's why NASA would let the film be released, because nothing was mentioned by any of the astronauts about being hoaxed. They were losing it, but they didn't admit to a hoax.
As I've explained, the second film has nothing in it NASA would need to kill Sibrel for. So that's why they didn't.

you are assuming that a multi billion dollar organisation capable of keeping the hoax a secret for more than 40 years are incapable of noticing the astronauts reactions.. the only people who would have noticed the strange reactions are hoax believers or you since you are much more observant than a multi billion dollar organisation..
originally posted by: choos
i want you to think about what you just said here for a while.. the second film has nothing in it that would require NASA to kill Sibrel.. NASA which is a multi billion dollar organisation capable of keeping one of the largest hoax a secret for more than 40 years with nearly unlimited resources sees no reason to kill Sibrel.
but you do?
p.s. and before you say that you are saying that there is no reason to kill Sibrel, think carefully, if you think the reactions of the astronauts are a dead giveaway that Sibrel is asking the right questions then that is sufficient reason to silence Sibrel.

So what does it have to with?
originally posted by: InhaleExhale
I assume Mitchell didn't give his permission or that was his way of saying that he will take legal action if Sibrel used whatever footage he took when going there with out Mitchells consent.
originally posted by: InhaleExhale
Not bizarre at all,
once a person get angry, in many cases the persons anger escalates, especially if whats made them angry is still present.
originally posted by: InhaleExhale
Not trying to justify anything really, cant even remember if I have seen the footage, I have read about it and many other shenanigans.
However the description posed by yourself and also having a slight clue about human behavior which I think you lack shows nothing abnormal, here In Australia it would be abnormal behavior as we have different gun culture that that in the States, but being in States and being a character like Mitchel is it seem like quite a normal or expected reaction after being angered.

Strangely?
Whats you greatest accomplishment in life?
Lets say it was on par with walking on the moon or being in space, something only a select few of all of humanity have been privileged to do,
Know someone comes along and tells you you are liar or part of a lie,
You would be happy?
That same person does it over and over, to you and others that share your elite accomplishment, you would be happy?
It can't be excused, no matter how much you try to
Mitchell was not forced to answer any of the questions posed by Sibrel. He didn't need to answer any of Sibrel's question(s) if he didn't want to, at any time. He could stop the interview at any time, if he wanted to. He could ask Sibrel to leave his property at any time, if he wanted to.
And the moment Sibrel brought up the hoax claim, Mitchell could have ended the interview right there, and tell Sibrel to leave his property at once. At most, Mitchell would have been annoyed about what happened. He found out Sibrel was a conspiracy nut, told him to get out of his house, and he did , The End.
But that isn't what Mitchell did. He did end the interview, and told Sibrel to leave his house. THEN he became very angry at Sibrel. He called him an a**hole. He threatened to sue him. He kneed him in the butt. He threatened to deck him. And finally, he threatened to shoot him when he was just about to drive away.

No, there is a significant difference between the first film and the second film. The first film shows Sibrel's proof of the hoax. Whether you or I consider it proof or not, doesn't matter, since that's the footage Sibrel claims is proof, and is the footage Sibrel shows to the Apollo astronauts. To wit, this is the only thing that NASA would need to keep secret, and to kill Sibrel for - if they knew he was going to release it, that is.
You've always claimed their reactions are perfectly understandable, given the circumstances, right?
But now, you're saying that hoax believers are not "the only people who would have noticed the strange reactions.." You say NASA would be capable of noticing their reactions.
Do you understand what you're really saying here?
You first argue that the astronauts reacted normally. Now, you say NASA would've noticed the astronauts' "strange reactions", and because their reactions are so incriminating, NASA would have killed Sibrel before he had released the film!!
So you're finally admitting their reactions were strange, after all....
It is a dead giveaway the astronauts are not telling the truth, but they are very afraid Sibrel has proof of their involvement in a hoax. NASA - and you - know it is a dead giveaway, but NASA - and you - also know that the astronauts never say it was a hoax, they insist that they went to the moon, and so their reactions can always be excused...
