Woodstock: Did NASA Buy Off Joan Baez?

Did NASA buy off Joan Baez for her attendance at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969?

On the DVD of the documentary movie Woodstock — 3 Days of Peace and Music, at 0:47:45, Baez speaks briefly about her peace-activist husband, David Harris, who was in jail at the time for resisting the draft. But on another DVD she says more about him being taken to a federal prison:

Woodstock — The Music (Aka Woodstock Diary), Friday 15 August
0:47:54 "The last time I saw David he was smiling as usual, and we had waited a long time for the federal marshals to come to the house and pick him up. And as it turned out they could have picked him up anywhere after the 10th of July and they waited 'til the 16th, so probably any noise about David would have been buried in the moon shot."

Could it be that NASA paid Joan Baez to advertise their fake moon-landing as if it was real?

Evidence of more fakery can be gleaned from the DVD itself because she didn't perform on the main stage on Friday the 15th of August — her spot came between 1am and 2am on the 16th. Most of the audience were probably well under the influence of LSD and marijuana by then, but this just proves that NASA left no stone unturned when it came to paying people — even the families of criminals — to convince others that the moon-landings were real!!!

Baez and Harris divorced in 1972. Did one of them feel guilty about their income from NASA and did arguments about it split up their marriage?


Movie Shot of the Moon on the Evening of 20 July 1969

But not only that — did NASA also buy off Michael Wadleigh, who produced, directed and filmed the movie? In Woodstock — 3 Days of Peace and Music, starting at 0:11:50, there is a 19-second shot of the moon on the right of a split-screen view.

We have done some detective work with an astronomy program set for Bethel, New York State, and carefully measured and compared the phase and tilt of the moon in the film. Our research showed that this shot could have been filmed on Tuesday 19 August 1969 at around 7 to 8 pm, but it is unlikely because the Woodstock Festival was well over by that time, concluding at 10:30 am on Monday the 18th after Jimi Hendrix's spot. Besides, the sky at Bethel was mostly overcast on the last two days, with heavy rain on the 17th.

Beware when viewing the film, those of you in the southern hemisphere — things are reversed in the north. What looks to you like a just-past-last-quarter shot of the Moon in the morning is actually just-before-first-quarter in the evening in New York State.

The shot in the movie includes dark blue sky surrounding the moon, and, presuming that the camera was not tilted sideways because it was held rigid, it is more likely that the shot was taken at about 7pm (or 8pm if daylight saving was in effect) on Sunday 20 July 1969 in New York State, between the times when Armstrong and Aldrin allegedly landed on the Moon and commenced their EVA.

Could NASA have paid Wadleigh to insert some film taken of the moon at that supposedly historic time to convince the Woodstock generation that a moon-landing had indeed taken place?

You be the judge!!!


Whistle-blowing — Twice

We have already mentioned that the movie Diamonds Are Forever, which shows James Bond stumbling across a fake-moon film set in the Nevada desert, is an example of whistle-blowing. Not even the combined wealth of the two producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman could overcome the urge of the screenwriters to insert a whistle-blow about the Apollo project, which mysteriously concluded the year following the making of this film. For reasons that will become apparent below, we think it significant that by the completion of this film, two actors had played the role of James Bond, and it had been four years since Sean Connery starred in his last Bond role, You Only Live Twice. Four years divided by 2 = 2.

We contend that similar whistle-blowing is a carefully encoded in the two DVDs about Woodstock. Note the times at which Joan Baez talks about her husband — 0:47:45 and 0:47:54. These two times, with two digits transposed to throw the unaware off the scent, can only have been edited into the films in such a way as to catch the eye of the astute investigator who knows that in numerology, transposing digits makes no difference at all. 4+7+4+5=20, and 2+0=2. The median of these times is 0:47:49.5 and 4+7+4+9+5=29, 2+9=11, 1+1=2.

Note also that for Connery's final Bond role the film had the same word twice in its title Never Say Never Again, and it was marketed 16 years after You Only Live Twice. Sixteen = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2!!!

It seems significant that the number 2, which is sometimes associated with deceit, should appear so prominently in our careful analysis.

Well, they left no one unstoned.

The deceit is rapidly becoming exposed. Note, please, that the name Joan Baez is two groups of two times two letters each, and David Harris is formed of eleven - yes, 11 or 1+1 - letters. A simpleton could read the significance of the 'moon-bound' Apollo having been numbered 11. Plus, 2 rhymes with 'clue.'

Analyze, too, the homonyms: Man went to the moon; one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind; the astronauts ate meals during the voyage.

There is obviously the work of cabalistic whistle blowers here. The whole affair is so riddled with clues that suppressing the truth further will be untenable.

Say it ain't so, Joe.

Man alive! Excellent points there, MarkS. I didn't realise about the rhyme.

There were many guitars at Woodstock, most with 2+2+2 strings but some with twice that number. I wonder if there was any significance in Jimi Hendrix's (note too, the 11 letters) Fender guitar not sounding anything like Buddy Holly's Fender ten years before — more like the sound of bagpipes mixed with the sounds of a howling cat and a snarling pitbull, then put through a fuzz, sustain and reverb box.

Hmmmmmmmmm. So many twos, so many clues! We must be close to blowing this one wide open.

The nonsense in post No. 1 (I wonder if it will show up on some woo-woo website minus the first and last lines) was just a slightly more interesting way of saying, "Hey, folks, if you want to see a movie clip taken from Earth of the moon with Armstrong and Aldrin on it and Collins above it, grab the DVD Woodstock -- 3 Days of Peace and Music.

I would have seen the original movie once or twice around 1970-71 and have owned the triple LP set since 14 June 1974. The "Fish Cheer" made it on to most of my party music tapes after that.

Last week I saw the DVD of the expanded movie on sale for only NZ$14.00, so grabbed it because it had been NZ$39.95 for a long time. While watching it I saw the clip of the moon, which I had completely forgotten about, but remembered there was something significant about it and think that maybe there was some news doing the rounds at the time, that it was filmed during the Apollo 11 landing. I remember getting that "Wow!" feeling when first seeing it on a movie theatre screen, specially having listened to the landing live on the radio.

Last night while trying to check this out, I found this web page,
www.woodstock69.com/wsrprnt2.htm
which says:
During July [1969], Wadleigh was out in Wyoming filming a movie about mountain climbing.
There is more information about Wadleigh on the previous page.

The bit of work I did with my astronomy program and a screen grab from the movie confirms the clip was most likely filmed at one of the two times and dates I stated, and it stands to reason that a documentary film-maker would have filmed the moon if possible at the time of the landing. If out in the mountains, Wadleigh might have had a better chance to do it there than elsewhere.

I'd like to know if there is more information about that clip, what the weather was like in New York State on the evenings of 20 July and 19 August 1969, and whether daylight saving applied at the time. Even if the clip was taken on 19 August, it's still cool to see the very next occurrence of the same phase as on 20 July 1969.

Alas, Googling for Woodstock, Wadleigh and Moon doesn't help much due to the presence at Woodstock of The Who and their maniacal but brilliant drummer Keith Moon.
