There’s a new space race underway for valuable prizes buried on the Moon. And there is real concern the Communist Chinese are ahead. Lisa Fletcher reports.
The following is a transcript of a report from “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson.”

Over the summer, in a remote corner of northern China, a small space capsule touched down. What made this event important was that it was the first time any nation had brought back soil samples from the moon’s far side.
All part of an ambitious series of Chinese lunar missions and evidence of a new space race that’s focused on the moon, with the US, China, and India all in the race.
The prize: reaching the moon’s south pole, where scientists expect to find vital minerals and water contained in permanently shadowed craters.
Lisa: Why so much focus on the moon?
Rep. Bill Posey: We know there’s water on the moon from water that can make fuel. It’s also a lower gravitational force liftoff pad for other space travel.
Bill Posey is a Republican Congressman from Florida. He represents what’s known as the Space Coast, where the Kennedy Space Center is located.
Posey: Whoever dominates space, including the moon and airspace, is going to control the destiny of the planet. We need to have a presence on the moon to establish that we have some rights to the moon.
It’s that idea of establishing rights that’s creating the rush to reach the lunar south pole. Whoever gets there first, the argument goes, can dominate and keep others out.
Many experts point to the example of disputed islands in the South China Sea, where China has placed troops and built military bases as a way of controlling the area and denying it to their rivals. If that happened at the lunar south pole, it could give China an unbeatable advantage.
NASA’s chief Bill Nelson is seriously concerned about China’s plans, and he’s been sounding the alarm for several years.
Bill Nelson: If there’s water, there’s rocket fuel, hydrogen, and oxygen. When the Chinese get there, there’s always the possibility that they say, “You stay out, This is our exclusive zone.”
Professor Everett Dolman teaches space strategy at Johns Hopkins University and the US Air Force Air War College. He’s also a veteran of the National Security Agency.
Everett Dolman: The Chinese have done something that, in retrospect, seems quite obvious but was not talked about very much in prospect. They have decided to put a research base on the south pole of the moon. This will be a scientific research base, not a military base, but it does allow them to establish a zone around that base that no one else can occupy because it would interfere with their scientific experiments.
The United States also plans to build a base near the moon’s south pole, but NASA’s Artemis program has been beset by delays, while China’s mission schedule seems to be on track for now.
Dolman: For the Chinese, their entire space program, commercial, civil, and military are all under the People’s Liberation Army; there is no distinction, and the Chinese have also said, and the Russians have also said that if you can control space, you can control the destiny of the future, you control basically all of humankind. and so the stakes could not be higher.
China’s next two missions to the moon are already planned and scheduled meaning the race to the moon’s resources is well underway.

I guess the human race will always have projects we spend billions of dollars on that have nothing to do with the betterment of mankind, initially. Oh, we need to get to the moon before the chinese. BS. Why can’t we seem to think ahead, like way ahead, and start spending on stuff that will benefit mankind. If we have a strong tax base we’ll have much more money for “other” speculative ventures. A happy strong country will be one that isn’t broke from chasing down projects that have no basis other than “to beat another nation”. We have so many useless mayors and governor’s it’s pathetic. Roll your damned sleeves up, get into the urban areas, teach these young kids to weld, and work machines, become plumbers, etc. Do you know what our tax base would be if we could have most able bodied folks working and contributing? I don’t, but they wouldn’t be running around shooting each other sucking up social programs and resources. Urban rot has been created by shitty leaders. 10-15, etc., get shot on a weekend and they say and do NOTHING! And these cities are so numbed from it they don’t even flinch. Fix our state and local “leadership” problems and many of these issues could be solved! And before I hear the negative feedback, I’m all for new technologies, new ventures, etc. I just think we have allot of house cleaning to do, that could help many neighborhoods become happy thriving productive citizens.

False Flag events :

This Marine was in Okinawa, returning from Vietnam,
at the time of that ”moon landing.”
Read/study Bill Cooper’s book, “Behold a Pale Horse”—the author claims Paxil initially came from military labs, seeking to make a super-soldier drug—to enhance aggression while tamping down any fear.
It’s a hard read, as Bill had even thought to
include the Zionist Protocols, which may have
been the real reason for his death (( we were
on-line buddies, because of our having been
STATIONED
at CUA Viet, Vietnam, a couple of months
apart—Cooper in naval intelligence, and I in
USMC crypto communications. We had been
exchanging thoughts just a day before that
Arizona deputy killed him )).

Harold and Thomas,
Harold, this is Aristotle’s observation (( last sentence )),
regarding your general INSULT to/on humanity :
On bad democracy (( from excerpts, I had gleaned from his, “Politics”—very, very hard to gather, as he used long run-on paragraphs and extremely complex language )) :
“[T]he last form of democracy . . . [in which] all share alike . . . [and] the leaders have been in the habit of including as many as they can, and making citizens not only of those who are legitimate, but even of the illegitimate . . . This is the way in which demagogues proceed. Whereas the right thing would be to make no more additions when the numbers of the commonality exceeds that of the notables and of the middle class,—beyond this not to go . . . [these] measures taken by tyrants appear all of them to be democratic. Such a government will have many supporters, FOR MOST PERSONS [[ my emphasis ]] would rather live in a disorderly than in a sober manner.”

Thomas, penetrating analysis—your post !
Regarding Portland cement, while it’s very heavy in its powdered state—the Blast-Force would scatter it as if it were merely goose feathers.

It will all end when one or two rockets fail leaving the moon killing those on board and their “precious” load of gold or silver or whatever else they find there. The human race truly is a bunch of imbeciles.
Rick: There is plenty of evidence to digest. It seems NASA video taped a fake landing, which has caused enormous doubt as to whether or not they ever actually visited the moon. Some words spoken by some of the astronauts as they walked around the surface of the moon have been removed. The UFO Community has had a field day with all the evidence and questions left unanswered. I believe NASA went to the moon and observed shocking things. A Brookings report theorized about the stability of earth’s population if the truth about extra-terrestrials was opened for public view. The main problem was the potential doubt that might be created about faith in God. As if some people might lose faith because there were strange beings on the moon, and elsewhere. As to your discussion about moon dust – Portland cement may be the closest thing to compare. If you made a pile of dry Portland and shot some compressed air at it, you would find the same consistency afterwards that existed before you applied the air pressure. Thomas

Re : Moon Landing
Recall
the
FAMOUS
Boot prints
at Bottom
of
that
Ladder ?
The Thrusters’ Blast-Force
would have cleared that dust
away, for
——— about sixty yards,
leaving a circular clearing
—surrounding that capsule.
There could not have been
dust—to make ANY boot
prints under that capsule.
What say you
and
