Charles Fort

To account for anomalies, Charles Fort makes a reasonable case that the
Earth does not move and the sun revolves around it; that the moon, planets,
and stars are not far away; ; and that the stars are really openings from
something else, something fleshy, perhaps. All one has to do to doubt is to
read The Book of the Damned. It's simple; reality isn't.

The local universe, I think he thought, is like an super-embryonic
organism, that is developing like an embryo, and is organic. Maybe it is
stupid; I will not report what he repeats of astronomers.

So, of course, I wonder if the Voyager, and the images of the planets;
and the trip to the Moon (oddly not repeated) (of course, it is boring) and
the little toy automobiles sent to browse upon Mars, have invalidated Fort's
proposals, and if we have to seek other ways to be reconciled with the many
anomalies of nature? What does the Hubble show, before retouching?

Or is it possible that ALL the pictures and ALL the space explorations
have been faked, to protect the space enterprise in it's aspect of big
business and big bureacracy? Is that possible?

George Bernard Shaw proposed that the Moon is only 37 miles away. For some
reason, that is reassuring.

What does the Hubble show, before retouching?

Acc. to an article in Parade Magazine, when the Hubble went up in 1991,
a blunder in its optical design caused "hopelessly blurred images." Oh,
sure. They must have tested the optics of this very expensive telescope many
times before it was launched. Maybe it was showing pictures that did not
conform to the Standard Astronomical Picture. But then they installed a juke
box full of custom-made CDs.

Or is it possible that ALL the pictures and ALL the space explorations
have been faked, to protect the space enterprise in it's aspect of big
business and big bureacracy? Is that possible?

It's an easy way to make money. Shoot up some expendable spaceships.
Odd how marvelously successful they have been. Then make your fake pictures
of the cosmos in a classified production studio somewhere. Keep the pictures
rolling out, and keep the money rolling in. Its easy money, for little work.

Could a studio or computer fabricate all the stills and moving pictures
that we
assume represent the real universe 'out there,' or is that just too
difficult to do? Of course, how could they be disproved?

A fire in a spaceship that is put out and the spaceship successfully
returns - great publicity.

So, did the astronauts really go to the Moon. It doesn't seem likely they
are liars. Maybe they went; maybe they got there in about an hour, and
played golf until TV Time. Or maybe they were warned off by the rightful
owners of the Moon, for not having a reservation. Or maybe they were all
hypnotized, and sincerely believe they went to the moon. The photos sure
seem to prove it.

Maybe there are a bunch of dragons and UFOs are there. Maybe its too
dangerous for us to know the truth. Or maybe we never can know the actual
truth, if its too complicated.
