Sydney paper article is above. Jarrah seriously blows this out of proportion for his own gain. I don't see any reference to his removal. If that's a hit piece the PTB seem to be made of rainbows.edit on 8-4-2011 by Pinke because: (no reason given)
I mean, how could Buzz not know about the whole dutch fake moon rock fiasco?
He should have had a good explanation for it.
Im sure JW wasnt the only one who asked him about it.
The museum acquired the rock after the death of former prime minister Willem Dreesman in 1988.
Dreesman received it as a private gift in 1969 from then-U.S. ambassador J. William Middendorf who accompanied the Apollo 11 astronauts on a visit to The Netherlands after the first moon landing.
Mr Middendorf told how the rock came from the U.S. State Department, but couldn't recall the exact details.
J. William Middendorf, the former American ambassador to the Netherlands, made the presentation to Mr Drees and the rock was then donated to the Rijksmuseum after his death in 1988.
The U.S. ambassador gave Drees the rock during an Oct. 9, 1969 visit by the Apollo 11 astronauts to the Netherlands. Drees's grandson, also named Willem, told the AP his grandfather had been out of office for more than a decade and was nearly deaf and blind in 1969, though his mind was still sharp.
"My guess is that he did not hear well what was said," said the grandson. "He may have formed his own idea about what it was."
t was the space conspiracy theorist Jarrah White, who quizzed Aldrin on whether he knowingly gave a piece of petrified wood - which until last year was thought to be moon rock - to the former Dutch Prime Minister Willem Drees shortly after the Apollo 11 voyage in 1969. ''Petrified wood? Well, that doesn't sound like it came from the moon,'' Aldrin responded, before suggesting the sample was switched sometime after 1969. ''What happens to that display once it is presented to somebody isn't the responsibility of the United States, and it certainly isn't the responsibility of the crew that gave it to them.'' That's that then.
Jarrah's questions might have sounded "too dangerous" for Buzz's CIA handler. Hence the immediate need for a newspaper HIT PIECE on Jarrah White.
If Aldrin’s minders were at the conference, I wasn't aware of it. No one tried to stop me doing anything.

A proposal to:
1. Move this thread Young Aussie genius whipping NASA in Moon Hoax Debate! from General Conspiracies to Conspiracy Theorists.
2. Jarrah White has gained sufficient notoriety on the internet, on forums, on YouTube.
3. 3rd party independant verification has taken place. To wit "space conspiracy theorist Jarrah White".

Is there a second to this MOTION of ACTION?
I just reverted an edit by 124.168.114.217 that added Jarrah White to the list of hoax proponents. The addition was too ad hominem to stand as written, but it raises the question - is he notable enough to be added to the article? I know we're more at the point where we would like to shorten it.

I was going to whithold judgement on the addition of "Jarrah White" to the proponents section, but it was reverted already anyway. Still, I copy edited what what attempted to be added, so here it is:
Jarrah White, a South Sydney, Australia, based YouTube user who claims to be the Grandson of Bill Kaysing[[[en.wikipedia.org...:Cite_web Cite web| url=][en.wikipedia.org...:Cite_web www.youtube.com...][en.wikipedia.org...:Cite_web | accessdate=][[[en.wikipedia.org...:1_September_2009 #dateformat:1 September 2009]]]| title=Bill Kaysing The Service Engineer| first=Jarrah| last=White| publisher=[[[en.wikipedia.org...

White strenuously defends his position, and has produced numerous videos presenting spurious evidence to support the theory of a hoax. White also supports the Ralph Rene position regarding "Gaddy's Pi".

Today I have a few announcements to make. Firstly, another $20 has generously been donated towards my fund raise. Special thanks goes out to Mathew Johnson for the donation.
Secondly, with only one film left to finish, my MoonFaker Moon Rocks Revisited series should be out in a matter of weeks.
Thirdly, I am proud to say that my counter-notifications against Mark Gray of Spacecraft Films have been successful. As some of you may already know, he has filed eight fraudulent DMCA copyright infringement claims against my videos, which were made from public domain NASA stock footage. Six of these takedowns resulted in the termination of my original account. The six uploads in question proved that the Apollo 10 telecasts were faked and that pieces of existing Apollo 10 footage were absent from the so-called "complete" DVD set sold by Spacecraft Films. The other two showed that the earth view from the Apollo 11 30:28GET telecast, which propagandists have flogged over and over, was in fact a cut away shot from an edited reel of video - despite claims by propagandists that it was a continuous shot with no edits!
Gray has also filed additional takedowns on other users, like greenmagoos who merely uploaded the Apollo 15 flag ceremony.
It is now clear to Youtube that Gray's DMCA takedowns were bogus and thus the two videos he flagged on this account were reinstated.
Isn't it funny. Propagandists and proven con-artists can file bogus DMCA copyright infringement claims against conspiracy theorists, or even threaten them with DMCA takedowns after the said CT exposed that the trolls were vandalizing Wikipedia or censoring existing footage from public view. The propagandists will gloat about how the conspiracy theorist supposedly used "copyrighted material" to "defame" its owner, all the while knowing full well that the material was public domain.
But when the propagandists actually DO use copyrighted material to defame the owner, who happens to be a conspiracy theorist, and that owner retaliates; watch how quick the trolls are to allege that the conspiracy theorist's flagging was fraudulent. Watch how quick they are to falsely flag videos as inappropriate and make videos about it. Watch how quick they are to create sock-puppet accounts to mirror these libelous videos to try and swamp their opponents out of the game, and flood their opponents' videos with hateful comments and sock-puppet voting. This behaviour is devoid of the moon hoax subject, immature and the is the very definition of hypocrisy.
As of April 8th 2011, the total amount of funds raised is $349.07US.
Wow! In just about 40minutes alone, this video has gone from 26 likes & 36 dislikes, to 26 likes & 50 dislikes! Some of these dislikes came moments apart from one another. Yes, I've caught them in the act with my handy screen capture.
We're clearly dealing with someone with way too much time on their hands and a lot of sock-puppet accounts.

Jarrah the tv transmissions might be pulic domain but they are only available on those dvd sets. Not downloadable on lineas far as I know? If you hadn't also included the Spacecraft Films logos giving the details of the tv transmissions he probaby wouldn't have attempted to remove them because they are supposed to be public domain. Please go back to actually investigating the moon landings and stop removing other peoples videos if they upset you. It doesn't look good!

After hundreds of years of detailed observation and study, our closest companion in the vast universe, Earth’s moon, remains an enigma. Six moon landings and hundreds of experiments have resulted in more questions being asked than answered. Among them:
1. Moon’s Age: The moon is far older than previously expected. Maybe even older than the Earth or the Sun. The oldest age for the Earth is estimated to be 4.6 billion years old; moon rocks were dated at 5.3 billion years old, and the dust upon which they were resting was at least another billion years older.
2. Rock’s Origin: The chemical composition of the dust upon which the rocks sat differed remarkably from the rocks themselves, contrary to accepted theories that the dust resulted from weathering and breakup of the rocks themselves. The rocks had to have come from somewhere else.
3. Heavier Elements on Surface: Normal planetary composition results in heavier elements in the core and lighter materials at the surface; not so with the moon. According to Wilson, "The abundance of refractory elements like titanium in the surface areas is so pronounced that several geologists proposed the refractory compounds were brought to the moon’s surface in great quantity in some unknown way. They don’t know how, but that it was done cannot be questioned." (Emphasis added).
5. Magnetic Rocks: Moon rocks were magnetized. This is odd because there is no magnetic field on the moon itself. This could not have originated from a "close call" with Earth—such an encounter would have ripped the moon apart.
11. Unusual Metals: The moon’s crust is much harder than presumed. Remember the extreme difficulty the astronauts encountered when they tried to drill into the maria? Surprise! The maria is composed primarily illeminite, a mineral containing large amounts of titanium, the same metal used to fabricate the hulls of deep-diving submarines and the skin of the SR-71 "Blackbird". Uranium 236 and neptunium 237 (elements not found in nature on Earth) were discovered in lunar rocks, as were rustproof iron particles.
4. Water Vapor: On March 7, 1971, lunar instruments placed by the astronauts recorded a vapor cloud of water passing across the surface of the moon. The cloud lasted 14 hours and covered an area of about 100 square miles.
The Apollo 14 Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment observed a series of bursts of 48.6 eV water vapor ions at the lunar surface during a 14-h period on March 7, 1971. The maximum flux observed was 108 ions cm–2 s–1 sr–1. These ions were also observed at Apollo 12, 183 km to the west. Evaluation of specific artificial sources including the Apollo missions and the Russian Lunokhod leads to the conclusion that the water vapor did not come from a man-made source. Natural sources exogenous to the Moon such as comets and the solar wind are also found to be inadequate to explain the observed fluxes. Consequently, these water vapor ions appear to be of lunar origin.
12. Moon’s Origin: Before the astronauts’ moon rocks conclusively disproved the theory, the moon was believed to have originated when a chunk of Earth broke off eons ago (who knows from where?). Another theory was that the moon was created from leftover "space dust" remaining after the Earth was created. Analysis of the composition of moon rocks disproved this theory also. Another popular theory is that the moon was somehow "captured" by the Earth’s gravitational attraction. But no evidence exists to support this theory. Isaac Asimov, stated, "It’s too big to have been captured by the Earth. The chances of such a capture having been effected and the moon then having taken up nearly circular orbit around our Earth are too small to make such an eventuality credible."
Of all these theories, the impact theory fits best with all the data that has thus far been accumulated about the Moon. Future lunar exploration, especially that which will determine global bulk composition of the Moon, should help scientists settle this issue.
10. Moon Echoes: On November 20, 1969, the Apollo 12 crew jettisoned the lunar module ascent stage causing it to crash onto the moon. The LM’s impact (about 40 miles from the Apollo 12 landing site) created an artificial moonquake with startling characteristics—the moon reverberated like a bell for more than an hour. This phenomenon was repeated with Apollo 13 (intentionally commanding the third stage to impact the moon), with even more startling results. Seismic instruments recorded that the reverberations lasted for three hours and twenty minutes and traveled to a depth of twenty-five miles, leading to the conclusion that the moon has an unusually light—or even no—core.
15. Spaceship Moon: As outrageous as the Moon-Is-a-Spaceship Theory is, all of the above items are resolved if one assumes that the moon is a gigantic extraterrestrial craft, brought here eons ago by intelligent beings. This is the only theory that is supported by all of the data, and there are no data that contradict this theory.

Strange Facts You (Probably) Never Knew About the Moon[
reply to post by DontProbeMeBro
Wow. Over 111 stars and you can't even read the original post. At the risk of straying into copyright waters, I will address the points raised at this website.
The oldest age for the Earth is estimated to be 4.6 billion years old; moon rocks were dated at 5.3 billion years old, and the dust upon which they were resting was at least another billion years older.
The oldest rocks found on the surface of the Earth are estimated to be about 4 billion years old. As Weed pointed out, this is due to the fact that the Earth is geologically active. Rock is recycled. These processes do not seem to be occurring on the Moon, so older rock is preserved.
The chemical composition of the dust upon which the rocks sat differed remarkably from the rocks themselves, contrary to accepted theories that the dust resulted from weathering and breakup of the rocks themselves
Much of the dust simply settled onto the Moon from space. It has no atmosphere to shield it from micrometeoroids.
"The abundance of refractory elements like titanium in the surface areas is so pronounced that several geologists proposed the refractory compounds were brought to the moon’s surface in great quantity in some unknown way."
I can only find this statement on webpages that plagiarize the article that the OP plagiarized.
On March 7, 1971, lunar instruments placed by the astronauts recorded a vapor cloud of water passing across the surface of the moon.
True, It may have been water associated with the lunar mission itself. The Apollo lunar surface water event revisited.
Moon rocks were magnetized
They contain iron. The solar wind emits a constant stream of electrons. Moving electrons create magnetism.
No Volcanoes
Yes, volcanoes. The Moon does not have plate tectonics like the Earth, but there is ample evidence that historically, hot material from below has erupted onto the surface.
Moon Mascons
Caused by material of greater density. They need not be artificial.
Seismic Activity: Hundreds of "moonquakes" are recorded each year that cannot be attributed to meteor strikes.
Why not?
In November, 1958, Soviet astronomer Nikolay A. Kozyrev of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory photographed a gaseous eruption of the moon near the crater Alphonsus.
"Transient Lunar Phenomena" like this have been observed, quite literally, forever. They are one reason why scientists think that lunar volcanism may still be occurring.
Hollow Moon: The moon’s mean density is 3.34 gm/cm3 (3.34 times an equal volume of water) whereas the Earth’s is 5.5. What does this mean? In 1962, NASA scientist Dr. Gordon MacDonald stated...
1962? The person who wrote this is grasping at anything. The Moon is less dense because it does not have a nickel-iron core like the Earth; it is solid "rock."
I could go on, but the list is lengthy... and misinformed.

Finally, the SMH Diary is a drama & gossip column with no journalistic integrity. Look at the SMH Diary itself and you can see that this is the case. It is the perfect place to drop a HIT PIECE on Jarrah White because nobody is going to fact-check a gossip column! Case in point "The Cleo Bachelor of the Year will be announced April 20."

Why is it that believers that man landing on the moon was a hoax have to constantly make things up and tell lies? No pre planned questions were handed out, so why do you claim that they were?
Or, it was for the rest of the conference. All further questions - on the greatest feats of the 20th century, on his heroes - were gently put to Aldrin by people associated with the society. ''You accepted my planned question very well,'' Aldrin joked in response to one.
