Why do people think the moon is old?
Have you ever been to the moon? no. The few astronauts who supposedly went to this so called 'moon' are all controlled by the government, who are too afraid to admit the truth.

In 1908 Theodore Roosevelt commissioned an exploratory group to find a way to outer space. Most of the men on the expedition perished immediately, with their first attempts of 'TNT jetpacks' failing horribly. Sadly, one of the victims was our 22nd President, Charles Babbage (no, not the guy who made the first blueprints for a computer, that was Grover Cleveland). Over the next two decades, the world became increasingly dependant on electricity in their lives, and one of the grandmasters of the ancient art of Mashu-Yakti, Nikola Tesla, was at the forefront of innovations. He would create a death ray, but one that was only operational from Space. Hoover's KGB tried to arrest him, but in a moment of self sacrifice he willed his inventions to the Nazi party. This was a primary starting point for WWII, as Hitler needed to control industrial centers, Polish cryptology, and Foucault's Pendulum in France. By 1944, he claimed to be about to win the war, an ironic statement for most, but in truth he was about to claim the spaceship from Russia, which ultimately failed due to Russian geologists deactivating volcanoes to cause a Nuclear Winter (countr-global warming). After the Rape of Berlin, Germany was split, and the search for the Death Ray started. Russia went into Space first, taunting the USA, so the USA built the moon as their own platform for controlling space, and went into an Orwellian level of reconstruction of history to create the said 'moon'. now, the Death Ray was actually destroyed by BJ Novak and the Bear Jew in a burning movie theater, but this was not discovered until Reagan's term, before he nuked Vietnam, but after we sold South Korea to Japan. The USA's moon is actually about 54 square meters in area, and is distorted by the atmosphere several thousand fold, like looking through a telescope. The USA soon came to realize that the only way to control the world, was through religious occultism, so they created scientology, and planted a bunch of big name actors and stars into it. Sadly it did not catch on, and our World will never know stability. Meanwhile, a house sized chunk of Swiss Cheese and Bird Poop is hovering about 200-300 meters above the Earth. The entire program of sending such amounts of cheese to the outer-layer-place-sphere cost us $40.32 and New Zealand, a debt which we passed to China, and unfortunately multiplied due to national binge eating.

Top 5 moon myths dispelled:

5) The moon is made of cheese.
False. It's actually a space station that has been in the works for quite some time but not fully constructed. The original plans were stolen which has delayed construction.

4) The moon orbits Earth
False. Satellites produced by the US, Russia and the UK project images of an orbiting moon because the back side of the space station is not complete. It's current position is fixed at 31 million miles (appx) away from Earth in a non-orbital location.

3) The moon is 4.5 billion years old.
False. The original moon lived to be 4.3 billion years old. In its waning years, it moved to alpha centauri to live out its remaining years before dying of old age.

2) The word moon is pronounced as it is spelled.
False. It was originally pronounced 'moan' because of its known effects in child birthing and was spelled moen. Both name and spelling were changed in the 14th century by King Edward I to match his middle name.

1) The moon will exist forever.
False. It does not exist, nor has it ever. Just like this thread.
Octavious (2701 D)

For the amateur scientists out there, here is an easy experiment that you can do at home to prove the current Moon is an illusion.

We are all aware that the Sun is a huge shining golden mass of, for the most part, hydrogen and helium that pumps out radiation throughout the solar system. It is powered by immense nuclear reactions and is known to us all as the warm yellow orb in the sky.

The Moon, by way of contrast, is supposedly a giant white rock that orbits the Earth at a much closer distance.

This in itself should be enough to attract suspicion. The Moon is simply too big. There is not a single natural satellite orbiting a major planet that comes close to having the kind of relative mass the Moon has to the Earth. Sure, you can find similar sized moons in absolute terms around gas giants, but their gravitational pull is huge. The idea that the Earth can have a natural satellite the size of the Moon, that is coincidentally the same apparent size as the Sun when viewed from Earth, is frankly absurd.

But the killer evidence comes from an experiment anyone can do themselves. Find yourself a yellow light to simulate the Sun and something white (chalk, or perhaps cotton wool) to simulate the Moon. At night enter a dark room and shine your light on the chalk. It will appear not white, but yellow, as it reflects the yellow light shining on it. In the same way the Moon should equally appear as yellow. That it looks white is clear proof that the Moon cannot be a natural satellite reflecting sunlight, but is instead a manmade object that emits its own light for a far more sinister purpose.

The moon is mentioned in ancient literature.

If I bought the conspiracy, then I would probably wouldn't be able to accept it is human made because of the technology levels, etc.

ah, I had not seen the earlier threads, but after posting my reply realized someone might write something similar. That at least makes the thought coherent.

So, new questions a) why would any one organization bother to fake the moon? b) why does it matter?

Octavious: Has your experiment been reproduced by another team and published in a peer-reviewed journal?

Also, have you controlled for the effects of different light sources (sodium light, incandescent light, fluorescent light, nuclear fusion 'natural' light) on the color of chalk? Have you controlled for the apparent color of yellow chalk under experimental conditions?

The apparent same size of Moon and Sun allows eclipses to happen. Tides are possible only with such a big moon.

These two facts prove that the Moon allowed life and civilization to happen on Earth. We live here because the moon is extraordinary, so it should not be surprising.

I can also explain the other weird things about the Moon. They're signals. Humans from the future created the Moon and went back in time to put it around the Earth when the solar systeam formed. Otherwise, the Earth would be without life. These humans from the future put these signals to tell us that we have to create the moon and go back in time to put it around the Earth.

If people knew the moon died, it would spark revolts. A lot of religions would fall apart as well.

geez *another* person who takes what I said out of context. I said "We at webdip are privy to a lot of secret info--like the Congo."
If you'd have READ what I put, you'd have REALIZED what I was IMPLYING is that the world ASSUMES it knows $h!t about the Congo but WE are privy to the secret knowledge that NO ONE knows $h!t about the Congo (aside the natural cannibalism that goes on there, of course). So put your pretentious, pompous, self-righteous, deluded, know-it-all, +1 whoring, trollish, wannabe attitude and, . . .well, I forgot where this was going.

taking over CD positions
When I first started here, I made the mistake of taking over CD countries in existing games. That's pretty hard to win at, especially when new to the game. And I learned taking over CD positions was fruitless and thankless.

My question is, now that Reliability Ratings are up and running, does taking over CD countries do anything to improve RR?
