In 1999, she reportedly refused to attend her father’s funeral without a handler from the Church of Scientology, for instance.
She has been a victim of Scientology since even before her father died. He loathed Scientology.
I wonder which conspiracies about her father she believes.
I imagine her father's death shortly after the first screening of Eyes Wide Shut probably did a number on her mental health.
Seems kinda perverse to report on the life of a private citizen like this for a couple of reasons
They're constantly pushing for a stronger security apparatus, labeling their political opponents as enemies of the state or foreign agents (they refer to Alex Jones as a seditionist in this article), and doxxing people who post republican propaganda. They're basically a cudgel used by the Dems. During the primaries, they attacked Bernie and his bros, while supporting the KHive harassing people.
Ehhh idk man they're pretty good. He was problematic, but still.
I know, we all read that comment just a minute ago. I never said Kubrick was a saint, I just said the moving pictures were pretty good.
Damn what did he do? Are the mods secret Kubrick stan?
If you look through his post history the dude is either a troll or really whacked out on something
He was calling ISIS anti-imperialist in another thread, it was probably that
He was banned for evading the ban on @AdamSandler, who was banned for "Constant shitstirring, gaslighting about abuse, contributing to a toxic environment on the site."
That’s literally the only thing you watch?
You know one of Marx’s favorite authors was the 1800s German equivalent of a CHUD. I don’t know why you insist on this purity of media consumption thing.
Because capitalist filth media is designed to lead you astray from the path of Marxism
Didn’t work on Marx apparently. Or Lenin. Or like any other socialist leader ever. Pretty sure Fred Hampton watched movies.
I mean, you can be a horrible person and make good art. I'll admit that Barry Lyndon is boring as shit, though.
He was known for emotionally abusing actors and actresses.
The most well-known case was Shelley Duvall in The Shining, where Kubrick frequently antagonized her, socially isolated her, and made her repeat the same scenes hundreds of times. He intentionally was trying to break her so she could better perform the role of Wendy Torrance.
Well you got banned so idk why I’m bothering, but in case there’s any other fake moonies here.
The broadcast was picked up by several independent agencies, including, get this, the Soviet Union. So when your mortal enemies admit you did it you probably did it. Plus they put reflective panels on the surface of the moon that any decently funded college astronomy program can, and several have, shoot lasers at to reflect back at Earth.
As for the flag thing they put a telescopic pole on the top of the flag to make it stand upright cuz they knew it wouldn’t wave with no atmosphere. You can vaguely see this in the picks if you look closely enough.
Pretty sure they were banned for defending ISIS in another thread lol
When your mortal enemies admit you did it you probably did it
The Soviet Union gave cover for other American Big Lies, most notably the CIA assassination of JFK. The moon landing hoax supporters claim that the CPSU Central Committee covered for the moon landing in order to negotiate detente with the US.

The US and the Soviet Union both carried out unmanned trips to the moon which left reflective panels. No one disputes unmanned trips to the moon.
The evidence that the moon landing was faked is more compelling to me than the evidence that it happened. But there won't be consensus on the moon landing until Russia or China manage a manned trip.
It is absolutely absurd that humanity cannot reproduce the moon landing 50 years later.
The USSR under Khrushchev wanted to pursue "peaceful coexistence" with the US. The stated objective was to provide the USSR an opportunity to develop its production capabilities following the genocidal Nazi war of aggression. Accusing the CIA of assassinating its own head of state in order to prevent reconciliation with Cuba & further the Vietnam War would have made "peaceful coexistence" impossible.
If you believe the theory that Khrushchevites assassinated Stalin, then Khrushchev would also have to consider a retaliatory response from the US which legitimized that conspiracy.
After he got got, why would the Soviets care to keep it under wraps?
Because the USSR didn't change their strategy. They did successfully negotiated detente with the US in the mid 70's.
There were other, non-governmental science organizations that picked up the signal. Also the whole mission was a very public, open to the media operation that involved a lot of people, most of whom were civilians. It really would have been hard to keep all those mouths shut, for this long, there would have been a whistle blower by now if it was fake. This is opposed to an assassination which may only need a handful of people to organize and so is easier to keep under wraps.

Not that many people need to be in on the conspiracy. There was widely publicized criticisms of the Apollo program throughout the 60's claiming it was impossible. That's why it was called a "moonshot." Even the mainstream news outlets were reporting on the fact that it had a 0.0017% chance of succeeding. The conspiracy only requires that the astronauts were not in the rocket.

There have been whistleblowers. Bill Kaysing, Brian Todd O'Leary to name a couple. Also, Gus Grissom - the Apollo astronaut who burned to the death in the Apollo 1 tests - was openly critical of the impossibility of the Apollo program. His wife and son are under the impression that he was murdered for these criticisms.

The coverup of the JFK assassination was a massive operation with a ton of holes in it. That's why a sizable portion of the US does not believe the official story. The same is true for the moon landings.
This page is the best collection of sources on this topic. Feel free to give it a read over. Again, I'm only claiming that there's more to the criticisms of the moon landing than most people realize. This theory won't be put to rest until a moon landing happens outside the Apollo program.

Seems weird that the government would pay out such big bucks to have a bunch of engineers work on a fake rocket, have a bunch of dudes sit in a fake control room, and make it all convincing enough that they believed they were all actually sending a guy to the moon. Must have been a lot of effort to make all those computers print out fake data that was enough to convince the scientists "yup we landed that dude".
I'll have to investigate the whistle blower thing.

Not any more effort than was required for the coverup of biological war crimes on Korean peninsula, the OPCW lie about Bashar Al-Assad using chemical weapons on his own population, or the OPCW lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
Faking the moon landing seems like a much easier lie to maintain than the other lies of the US empire.
Here's probably the best effort-post on the hoax side of the discussion [1] It mostly discusses the circumstantial evidence that hoaxers and debunkers focus on.
