This brings up an important point in regard to disinformation. Both normies and conspiracy theorists conceive of disinformation as a program to sell you a lie, or at least an incorrect or incomplete version of the truth. In cases that are simple, unimportant, or crude, this is true.
In cases of any importance and where there is enough evidence available so that one could get to the truth with some work, a more sophisticated approach is taken. The goal is not to sell you a lie, but to keep you away from the truth.
Many different versions of the "truth" are presented to you like magazines on a rack in a bookstore. You are meant to look at the covers, find the one that appeals to you, pick it up and walk out the door. A free choice was made, was it not? Although they will contains bits and pieces of it, certainly none of them are the truth.
So we see this movie as yet another glossy magazine on the rack that you can select if you choose. It joins others on that rack, like this judo flip reversal out of Richard Hoagland, which is here shadow-promoted by the ever reliable Smithsonian:
Conspiracy theorist Richard Hoagland has asserted for many years that the Apollo program discovered large artificial glass structures on the lunar surface that has been kept from the public. Besides other conventions common in a cover-up, Hoagland made the claim that the astronauts that went to the moon had been hypnotized and any memories of extraterrestrial encounters were removed. Most interestingly, Hoagland has argued that NASA deviously orchestrated the origins of the moon-landing denials as a disinformation campaign to mask the discovery of extra-terrestrial structures on the lunar surface.
Wow! Of course, these days you can also join the FE crowd and choose to believe the Moon is undefined (in some undefined sense). Anything is possible! (See how it works?)
The key observation is that even though these various disinformation programs contradict one another, all the promoters of said disinformation programs never get around to calling out all the others as promoters of disinformation. What, they just never thought it through like I just did, and thought it worth telling you like I just told you? Well, you see, that would give away the game, wouldn't it?
They know that the tech is getting to the point that they can no longer hide The Truth. The Average Joe's scientific literacy and tech tools will easily expose them.
Slow expose it... Let it seep into the national psyche that "Hey, we were all in on it. We knew."
Will be interesting to look back on all of those public "science" personalities that swore anyone doubting the moon landing was "crazy".
