For some reason the link became broken up - you will have to cut and paste the text for the whole link.

Great -- it's Borat Sibrel. And he just released a DVD: "Conspiratorial Learnings of Amerikan Moon Men for Make Benefit Glorious Accumulation of Greenbackistan" |

It's a play on the title of the film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, in which British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen pretended to be a bigoted, ignorant visitor to the U.S., and filmed his encounters with people, who apparently (I haven't seen it) usually turn out to be the bigoted and/or ignorant ones in real life. BTW, welcome to the forum, belial! So tell us, what is your opinion of rocky's claims that Apollo was faked, and all the engineers and scientists are lying? |

One of the hallmarks of Cohen's "Borat" humor is the broken English Borat speaks, exemplified in the subtitle of his feature film. The same broken English also tends to emit from machine translations from other languages. While the original statements are probably perfectly coherent and correct in Russian, the way a computer program renders them in English leaves much to be desired.
Bart Sibrel is a well-known Moon landing hoax theorist. I thought Bart and Borat sounded enough alike to make "Borat Sibrel" a funny play on words.

I'm sure he will in good time, but for now I suspect he's off Googling up as much mud as he can about the evils of mainstream science.
And if he tout the Russkies, what's the point? The question is not what nationality pertains to the claimant, but whether the claimant has evidence to back up his claim. A Russian ignoramus is no better positioned than an American one.

I find it hard to believe that even the average Russian could deny that Apollo missions landed on the moon. Surely, if the British using Jodrel Bank's giant antenna can track Apollo then the Russians could too, or would they be at number three in tracking technolog in 1969?
Of course, who knows what they were fed by Pravda and Russian television.
