This is the disconnect. You believe that an alleged statement by Farouk El Baz which is presented with no context is evidence that NASA is withholding discoveries of "what's really on the moon". The alleged quote does not say "not every discovery is available to the public". As I said before the fact that a discovery was not announced does not mean that it has been withheld. There is far too much data to "announce".
The "statement" from MacArthur was fabricated. The statement from El Baz is provided with no context and presented as proof that information is withheld when, in fact, it does not say that. It seem to me that those who present these fabrications and distortions as fact are the ones who are lying and deceiving. Please understand that I'm not accusing you. I am referring to the websites and videos that persist in the perpetuation this stuff.

How much more of our tax dollars have to be spent to tell us its just a bunch of rocks and hills?
After all, its just rocks and hills..right?
A pre-schooler can understand the concept of a rock and a hill the first time and doesnt need to go back his/her entire lifetime to that same rock or hill to understand its a rock and a hill...right?
Does real science have to verify x number of times that a rock is a rock and a hill is a hill to know for sure its a rock and a hill?
One would think that now that NASA knows its just rocks and hills, that all that money would go into putting mankind out into space and begin mining all that rock and hills to find untold resources and once again revive the concept of "The American Pioneer" instead of the repeating "its just a rock and hill, move along" catch.

Not "announcing" a discovery is not the same as concealing it.
1. Executive Order 10501 requires that NASA classify certain types of 'official information' in the interests of national defense. Within the context of this Handbook:
a. The term 'official information' is defined as information which is owned by, produced by, or is subject to the control of the United States Government;
b. The term 'national defense' is interpreted in a broad sense to include not only considerations of military defense but also economic and political factors having bearing on the national defense posture."

Accusing NASA of a moon cover up is a stretch, even more so the Mars because taking detailed photos of the moons surface is not limited to NASA
furthermore I find UFO proponents bashing of NASA disgusting. They spend more money and time then anyone here trying to find life on other worlds, but becaus they arent receptive to the bizzare ideas that coe out of the UFO field, or they dont agree, or they wont study UFOs, what ever it is, they all of a sudden become the bad guy

NASA is also spending millions on the LaCross Mission, whose purpose is to deliberately slam a spacecraft into the ice at the pole to 'see what they can stir up'
Gotta love those NASA scientists... they LOVE smashing spacecraft into things

That's great news. We will never know about that "it's something big sir" underneath the surface and detected by "the Space Marines" R2D2 unit. Usually the typical underground bases and terraforming reactors. It's not a huge concern for black prospects that want to go ahead with another diamond mine.
