EP#372 | GUEST | The Moon Landing Hoax with Bart Sibrel on NASA Lies

📄 Episode Overview

In Episode #065 of the Deep Shallow Dive, Ray Doustdar dives deep into what might be one of the most controversial conversations yet: did the moon landing really happen? Joined by renowned filmmaker and author Bart Sibrel, this episode tackles the theory that the 1969 Apollo moon landing was an elaborate hoax orchestrated by the U.S. government. Sibrel, best known for his documentaries and the book Moon Man, lays out his decades of research, evidence, and personal experiences that point to an orchestrated deception. The conversation spans historical cover-ups, inconsistencies in NASA's narrative, and even potential CIA involvement. Ray and Bart explore how modern technology, geopolitical motives, and spiritual truth-seeking all intersect in this wide-ranging and provocative episode.

🌟 Key Takeaways

• Bart Sibrel believes the moon landing was staged and presents photographic, technical, and testimonial evidence. • Government cover-ups have historical precedent: JFK, Gulf of Tonkin, and 9/11 are all referenced. • The truth, no matter how uncomfortable, is essential to confront systemic deception and restore public trust.

🧠 Summary

Bart Sibrel opens the conversation by sharing how his childhood admiration for the moon landing turned into deep skepticism after discovering inconsistencies in NASA's story. He recounts the exact moment he saw Bill Kaysing on TV, the man who first sowed seeds of doubt about Apollo 11. As a filmmaker, Bart's job is to make fake scenes look real—and he claims that's exactly what NASA did in 1969. He points to shadows in photos that defy physics, AI analysis labeling Apollo images as having fake backdrops, and testimonies from whistleblowers, including a dying Air Force officer who confessed to witnessing a staged moon landing at Cannon Air Force Base in 1968.

The conversation expands to broader topics of deception: the JFK assassination, 9/11, and Vietnam War manipulations are all brought into focus to paint a picture of a government willing to lie and sacrifice lives to maintain control. Ray raises popular counterarguments—such as the Soviets not calling out the hoax and the supposed need for hundreds of people to be complicit—which Bart counters with historical examples like the Manhattan Project.

Sibrel also shares deeply personal accounts of being surveilled, drugged, and threatened, all in response to his efforts to expose the alleged hoax. He argues that modern rockets can't replicate what was supposedly done in the '60s, making the technological regression implausible. The conversation ends with a call for moral courage: truth must be pursued regardless of the consequences.

🔎 Practical Tips

• Approach "accepted truths" with a healthy dose of skepticism and curiosity. • Evaluate official narratives through multiple lenses—history, science, and logic. • Use visual and technical inconsistencies (like shadow angles or AI detection) as starting points for deeper inquiry.

❓ FAQ

Q: What is Bart Sibrel's main argument against the moon landing?
A: He claims photographic evidence, missing technological capability, and eyewitness confessions all point to a staged event.

Q: Why haven’t more whistleblowers come forward?
A: Sibrel explains that secrets like the Manhattan Project involved over 100,000 people, but only a few knew the whole story. Fear and compartmentalization keep secrets safe.

Q: What about the USSR or China exposing the hoax?
A: Sibrel suggests they may be using this knowledge as blackmail leverage for U.S. tech and geopolitical advantages.

Q: How does modern technology play into this theory?
A: Sibrel cites AI deep-fake detection and current rocket limitations to argue that we still can't replicate the Apollo missions today.

Q: Was anyone harmed or silenced in the cover-up?
A: Sibrel claims multiple deaths, threats, and break-ins have occurred, including the confession of a man who killed to protect the secret.
