Who built the LLRV and LLTV? Was it Bell?

Yep, both. Rocketdyne had nothing to do with them.

I'm actually having an interesting conversation via e-mail with the historian at Dryden. Apparently they have very meticulous records left from the LLRV and LLTV flights. I'm trying to find the exact cause of Neil Armstrong's crash.

In addition, Nixon is the one who really tore the space program to shreds.

I think it's Burroughs who says Nixon really didn't like the space program because it reminded people too much of the Kennedy and Johnson years, which Nixon really wanted forgotten. Johnson supporters were naturally angry that Nixon seemed to get all the credit for it.

Well, Sibrel is too out of his gourd to say something like that, so I'd assume it was Rene. Who's Collier?

James Collier, conspiracy theorist author. He wrote Votescam: The Stealing of America and also produced the film Was It Only a Paper Moon?. The latter is mostly his commentary on the NASA PR film Nothing So Hidden, which Collier treats as primary -- not secondary -- material. Collier is the primary proponent of the "LRV won't fit inside the LM" argument. In other words, pretty clueless.

Here's my review of one of his articles.

It used to be Area 51.

The WWN article mentions Area 51 too, but there doesn't seem to be much point beating that dead horse. The Quebec reference seemed amusing.
