BART SIBREL ARRESTED

Moon hoax conspiracy promulgator, astronaut stalker, and Buzz Aldrin punching bag Bart Sibrel was recently arrested for vandalism. Apparently, someone took too long to get out of a parking space he wanted. He parked nearby, got out of his car, and then repeatedly jumped up and down on the offending car, doing over $1400 worth of damage.

Now, there is certainly a vast array of snark just quivering to be let loose here. Sibrel is largely responsible for the dumbosity of the Moon hoax still being around, and has used arguably slimy tactics to keep it so. He has lied about me, and still says things that are provably wrong even when I have told him to his face (well, over the radio) that they are factually wrong. Yet he keeps on saying them.

And, of course, there is the potentially huge ad hominem about a conspiracy theorist who goes ballistic over such a minor issue as a parking space. It’s certainly easy to assume he’s a nutsoid goofball who’s just a NASA photo away from losing it completely. But that should be avoided: I know I myself have daydreamed of what I would do to people who take too long to pull out of a parking space — generally at some point large electric shocks applied to delicate body parts are involved.

But the difference, of course, is in idly fantasizing about something versus actually doing it. The real irony here is that Sibrel’s Apollo claims are fantasy, and aimed against people who actually did do something.

Bart Sibrel Punched by Buzz Aldrin

BART SIBREL IS SCUM

Bart Sibrel is the scumbag who produced the Moon hoax films "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon" and the Fox special "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?", and tomorrow he plans to release another video titled "Astronauts Gone Wild".

The video follows Sibrel as he confronts former Apollo astronauts and challenges them to swear on the Bible that they really walked on the Moon. The challenge is a no-win situation for the astronauts because if they do Sibrel could simply omit it from his video or he could turn it around and say something like "See! They even lie to God!". But if the astronauts do not agree to swear on the Bible then it looks like they have something to hide.

Sibrel makes the astronauts look guilty by using paparazzi tactics... get them angry and then take their picture. It doesn't matter to believers of the Moon hoax theory that Sibrel hasn't presented any actual evidence to support his claims... the astronauts look guilty... case closed.

What Sibrel probably won't tell his audience is how he lured the astronauts to do interviews under false pretenses. He actually got himself invited into Edgar Mitchell's home using fake History Channel credentials. In September 2002 Sibrel was punched by 72 year old Buzz Aldrin after he ambushed Aldrin at a hotel, again under the pretenses of a legitimate interview. Other times he simply confronted the astronauts outside their homes or at public events.

Bart Sibrel, after running out of anything resembling real arguments, has resorted to showing video of astronauts who he has harrassed to the point of rage. If you throw rocks at a bee hive they will sting you, if you poke a bear with a stick he will rip your head off, and if you constantly harrass a person and shove a camera in their face they will get angry and possibly hit you.

If you feel like seeing a small clip of Sibrel's latest video, the video that I am sure will be used against him at his inevitable stalking trial, then click here (8mb, Realplayer). I'll warn you now... if you watch the video you will probably feel the urge to punch something afterwards... so keep a pillow handy.

Mr. Sibrel, if you're reading this, you make me sick.

I applaud every single astronaut who has had to deal with Sibrel... I can only imagine the patience it must have required.
