Intriguing, uncovers many layers of Conspiracy... August 11, 2008 Richard Hoagland was present at JPL in 1969 as the crew of Apollo eleven was on it's way back to Earth. He saw a shady character, accompanied by high ranking NASA officials, distribute leaflets during a press conference stating that the entire moon landing had been faked on a soundstage in Nevada. This, according to Hoagland, was the genesis of the Apollo Conspiracy mythos. Logically this would make the Apollo Conspiracy a Hoax Hoax. Therefore one cannot help wondering what a Hoax Hoax Hoax would be.
Hoagland himself quotes one of his intelligence sources as saying that, "the lie is different at every level". There is no doubt that NASA is concealing something because many of the photographic materials it supplies are obviously tampered with. Hoagland states that NASA (Never A Staight Answer!) is a military organisation rather than as most people think, a civilian one. Therefore they are answerable only to the Pentagon and not to the taxpayer.
Hoagland is committed to the ancient astronauts idea. He believes that the ruins he has detected on the Moon and Mars, are many thousands of years old and probably pre- date human civilization on Earth. He apparently disregards the evidence that humans still interact with with extra- terrestrials. There is no mention in his book of the fact that the Moon, and possibly the entire solar system were created, from basic planetery raw materials, by beings far beyond our technological capacity, beings for whom time means nothing. I believe therefore that everything in our environment is controlled by these entities, whom humans often mistake for Gods.
NASA must have known since it's inception that the moon is artificial, as it's period of orbit is exactly equal to it's period of rotation; also it covers the Sun exactly during solar eclipses. I am convinced that Socrates knew this. I do not agree with Hoagland that there has been only one "time before", there have probably been many; Humankind has reached out to other worlds in the past, and may not actually originate on Earth.
In many of the Apollo photographs of the Moon, Hoagland sees huge glass domes reaching high above the lunar surface, and the remains of supporting rebars, I cannot say that I see this from the reproductions in the book, but there do seem to be atifacts and "arcology" there. Perhaps there are still humans or extra- terrestrials living within the moon, based on it's far side.
Hoagland believes in the notorious "Face on Mars". Of course, if it is truly artificial, then it certainly does not resemble any monolith on Earth, being over a mile in length and apparently honeycombed with rooms and walls; The Face itself is only visible from a high altitude. At the end of the book there are some reproductions of photographs taken by the recent Mars Reconnaissance Orbitor which according to Hoagland reveal an ancient "Headquarters" in The Face. I find it surprising that the orbital photos from Mars appear to be of higher resolution than those from the Moon.

I think the face on mars looks like a collapsed hill, and just a trick of light. The author is obsessed by it. All this astonishing alien artifacts on the moon and mars are present within Richard Hoagland's imagination, and are not present in any of the pictures. What the re-examination of the lunar landing photos probably show is the original hidden background detail of the inside of the studio where they filmed the lunar landings. There's a colour photo of the moon in this book, taken from the Apollo space craft, and according to the author, it's evidence of millions of domes of glass on the moon, as it shows a glow around the moon, which is not possible from space. The more obvious explanation for this is that the photo was taken from a telescope on the earth, and then claimed for the Apollo astronauts. What is proven in this book is that NASA are habitual liers, and have been covering up something which is far more interesting...evidence of life on mars. What the agenda is, is not explored very well here. The first chapters about multi-dimentional space is out of the scope for a lay-person and is a stuggle to get through. What would make for a much better book, by another author, would be an exploration of the mars anomalies, the green-blue sky which NASA have tweeked into red, and fossil evidence on mars. Also an investigation into why NASA are compelled to lie about everything, and why should anyone trust anything they say, including that they went to the moon, when there is so much evidence to show that they didn't, and which Hoagland claims he and his associates have proved to be a false conspiracy, and he hasn't proved it at all. If NASA can fake the colours of mars, why cant they fake the supposed robot head as well, and anything else they feel like?

"up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear". Quoting Mary Poppins may be a strange way to begin a review but in my opinion this author has been up where the air is clear (and perhaps a bit too thin) for far too long. Every single half-baked conspiracy is covered in torturous depth with pictures that (try as I might) failed to convince me there are glass cities on the moon. If you are a real paranoid X-Files freak, this is the book for you!

Possibly the worst book I have bought in many a year ... lets take every rumor ... every half truth ... every little piece of conspiracy theory, sprinkle over some numerology, some masonic interference and present it as a scientific study!
If this is what goes on at NASA then they wouldn't be able to open the doors in the morning never mind put a man on the moon ...
buy only if you have been visited by little green men ... or men in white coats!
Convincing work. Perhaps the tides have turned. January 31, 2008 13 out of 17 found this review helpful
The most important and aspect of the book is suprisingly not the case made for ancient ruins on both the Moon (incl. an ancient skull of either a humanoid or android origin) and Mars, nor NASA and JPLs unscientific behaviour, nor the explosive last chapter about the Apollo 17 mission and its' classified elements.
Instead, it is the slam dunk case for NASA as an agency that is ultimately part of the vast defence strucure of the United States and powerful aerospace firms. It appears non-scientific in operation, has the structure of an intelligence agency and is ruled by politics. This wasn't news to me but I have never seen it presented this convincingly, and it just goes to show what both Martian Anomaly and UFO researchers have been saying all along: These things are covered up by provisions of the national security state, and it is the greatest threat to our freedom and future.
The chapters that detail the suppression of free energy, the lost discoveries of Faraday, Tesla and Maxwell are most interesting. It has been documented elsewhere how Oliver Heaviside pretty much destroyed the important 'scalar' and 'torsion-field' elements that were the original intention of Maxwells equations. The authors of Dark Mission however, also make a connection between the geometric relationships of the Cydonia artifacts, and mathematics of higher dimensinal space and how it can be tapped by us and is in fact tapped by all rotating bodies. They even give examples of this model on the planets of our Solar System.
As far as the argument for a delibarate "occult" reference system of NASA launches and landings (particualrly based on the celestial motions of the constellation Orion, the star Sirius and the so-called "Northern Swastika"), I don't feel like I know quite enough to say that the writers are right on that one. Certainly, there are elements in the early days of NASA that have some curious belief systems related to Osiris/Seth/Horus of pre-dynastic Egypt, but do those currents survive to this day? Decide for yourself, and perhaps look into some of Joseph P. Farrell's work.
Certainly there are things in this book I dont think are true, such as the proposed "mind wipe" by hypnosis so that the astronauts would not reveal certain things they allegedly saw on the moon. As far as I am concerned, and I know that Edgar Mitcell agrees because he said so at a convention I attended, this is baloney. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? No. The authors make lazy (and thus, irrespinsible) use of italics which can be annoying for experienced readers - I know didn't like it.
I really recommend this book, just know that the repetitions and the long descriptions of the troubled relationship betweenn NASA and independent researchers is very much worthwile. I also recommend that you check out the very interesting discussion of this book on the US Amazon site.
