hello my friends!! i hope you all are doing well and are ready to be enlightened some more. remember that the secret key to seeing the truths is to rid your mind of all the preconcieved notions which you were brainwashed with since you were born...

i have very exciting news today. i spoke last night with an old professor of mine. he too can detect alien presence btw. he was telling me that an alien visited his class yesterday in the form of a human. this old professor teaches physics. coincidentally (or maybe not), yesterday's class discussion was on the apollo missions. this professor knows the truth, but he was teaching it as the hoax was carried out because he says "he fears being labeled a radical". well anyway, as he was lecturing on how certain things happened (such as the command module mating with the LM or the alien spacecraft aldrin saw being a panel), he said the alien would shake his head in disagreement. after the class the alien approached the professor and told him he lied. the professor was shocked at how he knew he was lying. they then had a discussion about how everything really happened. this professor is not a liar and he isn't insane, so this is even more proof that aliens are present among us and that apollo moon landings were faked.

Your professor should know that alien presence is not testable by the scientific method.

No it's not. It's just you claiming there's some mystery professor who you say is also an alien liason. Can't you see why we won't take this as evidence? Sheesh, this makes Light Years look like an encyclopedia.
Please continue this in the new thread provided as linked above

Original post moved.

For what it's worth--I think LMEU believes everything he's said. That's why it's not funny to me. I don't take it seriously, either, but it's not funny. It's sad.

I won't discount the possibility, but this feels too much like a game to me, with stories going off in different directions when he's asked to back anything up.

And relatively little word salad, or other indications of disordered thinking, considering the extent of his claims. Just a series of absurd claims, clearly made up on the fly.

Word salad, or lack thereof, is not necessarily the only indicator of disordered thinking. I think the garbled sentence structure counts for something.

I am no space, ct, or expert in psychology. In fact, at the risk of violating the personal attack rules (of self deprecation) here, as I may be considered and idiot (savant that is) by some... but I think they call that being "incoherent"... and that is not a personal attack.

I hate to tell you this k9trek, but to me LMEU is relatively coherent, in the sense that I can actually understand the sentences and what is point is, even if incorrect and unsupported by data.

If you want incoherent, try this, over in Q&A.

I've read a fair amount of this thread as it developed, but it didn't occur to me until today:

Of course I'm not a hoax!

/You are now free to continue the discussion. (And I will catch up with it later, when I am not so busy).

Well, of course you have to say that in order to perpetuate your own existence. We couldn't have you vanishing in a puff of logic, now could we?

Get the facts from The Moon Himself
How can you doubt the Apollo missions after watching this?
