Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable.
Here’s what we as a people know concretely about the moon; it’s a wicked awesome planet that thinks it’s better than Earth, but really it’s not.
Seriously, the moon is so dumb it can’t even maintain an atmosphere. That’s, like, planets 101. Shouldn’t have skipped that class, eh moon?
And of course, without an atmosphere there’s absolutely no chance of a civilization ever popping up. After all, when astronauts visited the moon back when America had a space program – they didn’t see anything, right? Well according to one former NASA employee – they actually did see some old abandoned buildings and what-not.
If Hecklerspray ever get’s stuck living on the moon, we hope it’s at least on a nice sea side property with an ocean breeze and a free hammock. If we can’t have that, then we’ll probably have to settle for living in one of the old abandoned buildings that NASA‘s former (get ready for a really long title) National Aeronautics and Space Administration Data and Photo Control Department manager Ken Johnston swears up and down are spotted across the moon’s pock-marked surface.
According to BeforeItsNews.com:
“Johnston asserts NASA knows astronauts discovered ancient alien cities and the remains of amazingly advanced machinery on the Moon. Some of the technology can manipulate gravity. He says the agency ordered a cover-up and forced him to participate in it.”
You see, Johnston has actually worked for NASA up until very recently. Then he wrote a book with Coast to Coast regular Richard C. Hoagland. In the book Johnston let the allegations fly. True or not, NASA didn’t approve. They offered him the chance to resign, which he balked at. Then they flushed him down the hole where he joined America’s growing cesspool of unemployed citizens.
We assume Mr. Johnston got his information from the photographs he was in charge of – as implied by the last part of his big, long job title. We’d like to know where he got the info on gravity manipulation. So help us if we have to buy his book to find out!
A few articles telling this story have some of the pictures from the book. The originals might be impressive, but the pirated reprints we’ve seen have way too little detail to knock anybody’s socks off.
If our world was technologically advanced enough, there’s really no doubt we’d build outposts on far away moons – especially if there was an intelligent population to study. Could somebody else have come here a long time ago and staked the place out? It’s really not too weird to think about. However – we think super advanced and available technology just sitting there waiting to be picked up would guarantee NASA all the funding they could ever dream of. As opposed to, you know, cutting the space shuttle program and laying off every single person that ever worked for them.

Fired for speaking the truth :D
Are we so dumb to disregard the moon anomalies that has been recorded even before this century?

As Haldane once warned, ‘The unvierse is not only queerer than we suppose, it’s queerer than we CAN suppose,” so the author’s tongue0in-keyboard approach seems more rational than most dry, pontification styles we usually get from the spaceflight journalists. But as Dr. Gregory House is fond of saying, “Everybody lies”, and the more somebody protests that OTHER people are lying, the more likely — in my cynical experience — it’s THEM who are the prime candidates for lying. Check out Johnston’s factual claims [and mine too, of course] before automatically assuming the truth of his [or anyone else’s] claims. I FOIA’ed his military record [so can you] and he served honorably, except not as a pilot of any kind — he was a flight line electronics technician, and we are grateful for his service as such. At NASA he was a shipping clerk, and performed honorably — just was never in charge of any original materials. His problem forty years later in the volunteer program for NASA [never an employee] was a claimed “PhD” on his submitted bio, that was actually a mail order certificate from a bogus ‘seminary’ at a post office box in Denver [you can internet-search the name of the claimed ‘alma mater’ and may find, as I did, that no other human being on Earth has ever listed it on their on-line credentials]. Check this stuff out and see who is ‘speaking the truth’ before being such an eager super-dupe.
