November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

This is one of the most interesting documentary movies.   It was first aired on Canada's CBC (Passionate Eye Showcase) in the summer of 2004 and then again in the summer of 2005.  For obvious reasons, it might never be shown to viewers in the U.S. and may also not be available on video. 

Written by William Karel, its purpose is to make one aware that one should always view television with a critical eye. 

Did U.S. astronauts really walk on the moon?  Or was it a Stanley Kubrick-style hoax?

How could the flag flutter when there's no wind on the moon?  During an interview with Stanley Kubrick's widow, an extraordinary story came to light.  She claims Kubrick and other Hollywood producers were recruited to help the U.S. win the high stakes race to the moon.  In order to finance the space program through public funds, the U.S. government needed huge popular support, and that meant they couldn't afford any public relaitons failures.  Fearing that no live pictures could be transmitted from the first moon landing, President Nixon enlisted the creative efforts of Kibrick, whose '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968) had provided much inspiration, to ensure promotional opportunities wouldn't be missed.  In return, Kubrick got a special NASA lens to help him shoot 'Barry Lyndon' (1975).  A subtle blend of facts and hypothesis around the first landing on the moon, Dark Side of the Moon, illustrates how the truth can be twisted by the manipulation of images. 

The reported story is as follows:

After 35 years there are questions if those photos of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, the first men walking on the moon, were real or a hoax.

In the 1960s, both the Soviet Union and U.S. were bracing to be the first ones to reach the moon, an issue that became a matter of national prestige.  After Russia suffered several technological setbacks, it became obvious that the Americans would be the first ones to travel to the moon.  The people of the United States and around the world were waiting impatiently to see the first pictures of American astronauts walking on the moon.  This was during the presidency of Richard Nixon and his government was adamant not to disappoint the world.  But during this first mission to the moon, some top NASA officials informed the White House that because of certain technical problems, it might not be possible to get picutres of the astronauts landing on the moon.  Nixon was angry and upset.  One of his close advisers was Ronald Rumsfeld.  Rumsfeld is reported to have suggested to the President that it would be a good idea to shoot some pictures in a studio, and if anything went wrong, these pictures could be shown to the American public and the world as the Americans being the first ones landing on the moon. 

Also, this first mission to the moon was very risky, fraught with difficulties and doubts to the extent that NASA thought there were chances the three asronauts might not return to earth alive.  Keeping this in ming, Nixon also prepared a speech announcing the death of the three astronauts in advance. 

Nixon didn't take long to agree on shooting the pictures of landing on the moon in a studio.  For this purpose, Ronald Rumsfeld was sent to have a confidential meeting with Stanley Kubrick, the producer of the movie 'Space Odyssey.'  At that time 'Space Odyssey' was in the process of being filmed and the studio was just perfect to shoot the phoney pictures of NASA's first men on the moon which the entire world was eagerly waiting to see, oblivious of the secrecy behind the closed doors of the White House.  It was an MGM studio situated in a London suburb.  Rumsfeld requested Kubrick to allow them to use the studio only for a few days over the weekend.  After the phoney pictures were shot, the place would be cleaned and handed back to Kubrick.  Kubrick was hesitant at first, but eventually he agreed.  The persons working on the sets for these hoax photos were four CIA men - two of whom were technicians and the other two, acting as Armstrong and Aldrin walking on the moon. 

Everything went as planned.  After the work was done, the four CIA men were given new identities, sufficient resources and told to disappear forever.  All four were single without families.  They reportedly dispersed to different countries. 

After some months, Nixon became uncomfortable and irate at the thought that if ever in future, any of these four men decided to speak out, the problems and embarrassment would be unprecedented.  Richard Helms was then the CIA Director and Henry Kissinger, the Secretary of State.  After lengthy discussions it was eventually decided at the White House that these four men must be eliminated.  Scores of CIA men were sent all around the world to look for them, find them and assasinate them.  According to various sources, this wasn't an easy task, but finally it was done.  All four of them were found and killed to keep the secret safe.  One of them was burnt alive in a car crash.  Another was found drowned in a swimming pool.  The third was discovered brutally murdered and hacked into bits, yet his death was officially reported as a suicide.  The fourth man was shot to death and his shooting was filmed by the CIA. 

Five years after the making of those phoney pictures, Stanley Kubrick was prudent enough to contact NASA and the White House to borrow a special lens he needed for filming the movie 'Barry Lyndon.'  Kubrick was now the only person alive who knew about this secret.  He soon observed that he was constantly being tracked.  His phone calls were tapped and his mail was intercepted.  He decided to disappear.  He was too afraid to even step outside his home.  He lived like a prisoner within his house till the day he died. 

It is not known (and will probably never be known) if NASA did actually face any technical problems while taking the first pictures of Armstrong and Aldrin walking on the moon, and if the hoax pictures were ever used.  We can only hope tht the pictures shown to the world were real.
