Moon Rocks: An Interview with Dr. Igor Bogdanovik. 

An exclusive, rarely accorded interview in Paris with elusive astrophysicist Igor Bogdanovik. Born 1969 in the Gers region of France, and schooled at the University of Burgundy, acquiring his Ph.D. in advanced cosmology, before going on to a Professorship at the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Dr Bogdanovik is a leading proponent of neo-scientific Moan Hoax Theory Movement IM-ANL (Institut et Mouvement pour une Amérique non Lunaire), which firmly denies that an American presence on the moon would have possible during the Apollo missions of the 60s and 70s.

Many Apollo skeptics have asserted that a man could not pass through the Van Allen Radiation Belt, an intense radiating band that surrounds the earth for thousands of miles. Is this really a credible argument in this day and age?

“Van Allen’s belt has always been the fatal issue. It’s the question organisations like NASA have always sidestepped. There is no way you get through it in a boîte à sardines, a tin can, or with any other vehicle for that matter. It’s far too wide, and tight, it comes all the way up over the terrestrial bowels, and searingly hot, toxic gasses escape out of the top of it. That’s the way it was for Van Allen. That’s the way it always was. And I can guarantee you that’s the way it was last time we were at Chez Bebert. Early prototypes of the French Arianne rocket had already penetrated it in the 1950s and what came back out was not altogether pretty to look at, I can tell you. C’est ainsi.”

What really happened in July 1969?

“Ecoutez-moi. Now listen. The U.S. always want you to believe they invented la poudre, gunpowder, daylight, democracy, and the proverbial wheel. But if you look at Cyrano de Bergerac, the true Cyrano, not the silly fictional character by Rostand, I mean the scientist and philosopher, based out of Gascony like myself, well, not surprisingly, you find all of the foundations ready-laid for a “trip” to the moon! And if you have read Jules Verne, you will see that the major part of the moon-mission staging was based exactly on what they described entire centuries earlier. You can check it for yourself.”

In your recent book, Le Côté Obscur de la Lune, you discuss France’s role in the stricken Apollo 13 mission. Could you tell us a little about that ?

“The Apollo 13 mission was a triumph of French ingenuity. If it had not been for the intervention of France, the three astronauts would have been lost forever in the néant, the void of space. Just as for the Native Americans, where the French government intervened to guarantee them liberty and citizenship, we were able to carry out a series of experiments to filter CO² on the ground, so reproducing earth-like conditions. This is the opposite approach to NASA, who were so convinced by conducting experiments for use on earth, for example, medical technologies, whilst in space. Such a pragmatic, French approach using organic supports including proteins from dairy products and gasses from cheese permitted to understand the true nature of the respiration in the reduced spaces and with the nitrogen-carbon rich atmosphere in which they were engouffrés. But if you watch the Apollo 13 movie, they show making carbon-dioxide filters with some kinds of pipes, and toothbrushes, and so on – so tell me, exactly how did these elements get up there into space, ready for use at the drop of a glove?”

But in the end, exactly why is it not possible for man to land on the moon?

“The moon is in the Kubo-Schwinger-Martin condition. This effectively means that you cannot fly to the moon in the way the Americans say they did. This is a Creationist piff-paff, whereas in fact certain prevalent charismatic religious currents in the U.S., are not, we must conclude after all, God. But the context is very different than here in the Hexagon, where we enjoy a total separation of church and state, as we have seen time and again throughout history. In fact, at the beginning of the aeons, and even before, we now are in a position to know that you did not have a ‘Big Bang’ in the sense where everything explodes outwards from a single, ultra-compressed dot of matter. Rather, we need to think more of a ‘Big Bounce’. In a simple person’s language, we can imagine better protagonists such as the actress Sara Foster, north of the border in Canada, who by the way is a French-speaker, or perhaps you can visualize Vadim’s “Et Dieu Créa la Femme”, which explains perfectly the analogy I want to make. The shiny moon bounces around all over the place in front of your eyes, up and down, and left and right, it vibrates, jiggles, and shakes, and there is no way to touch it unless you happen to find yourself stuck right in the middle.” 

What other elements of the actual journey to the moon do you find suspect?

“Science has proved that the alleged ‘Moon Injection’ trajectory from the earth is an impossibility. The ‘Moon Injection’ was not an injection in the sense that most people have accepted. It was not a navigational decision, but, plutôt, it was a physiological injection, in the veritable medical sense. Before entering the spacecraft mockup, the astronauts were injected with a serum that they thought to be an anti-viral agent for use in outer space to protect them against radiation-mutated germs carried on cosmic rays or ‘eyes-shut shooting stars’ as these became known, such as they had never been exposed to in terrestrial life. But what was really inside these viles was a drug known as DMT, or dimethyltryptamine, en appellation complète. With DMT, the crew members lived a week of video-stimulated experiences in the space of precisely 7 minutes. Here, we see yet further Creationist influence. This drug has been known since prehistoric times. When they “returned” to earth on Apollo 11, which they had never left, they were isolated from their families in the quarantine chamber. Pourquoi? Evidently, it was not because of any danger of contamination, non, it was due to their unstable, euphoric mental state that would have given NASA’s game away. But this injection is a little painful, adminstered in the buttocks, which is where it may truly get its name.” 

And you continue to assert that the Apollo 11 landing was a theatrically staged scam?

“The cosmonauts Aldrin, who visited France last year and gave a quite moving speech, in the company of his honour the former Monsieur Le Président, and the others, Armstong and Collins, never attended the actual shooting of the Apollo 11 mission. They were too busy training in bulky space suits in Death Valley, Arizona, and were never informed of it, for their own protection. The shooting was done in the former warehouse of André Citroën, in Levallois-Perret, near Paris. The atelier had been used for retouching and storage of the Citroën 2-CV car, prior to shipping and sale around the known world. The états-unisiens (Americans) judged no one would come looking here, and what’s more, they could exploit the freshest of French cinematic talent. Present on the set were not only Truffaut, and Godard, too, but possibly also even Prévert, and one other anglo-saxon producer, I think it was your Stanislas Kubrit. The shoot was clearly done in the French Nouvelle-Vague (New Wave) style, yet continues in the vein of and honours the pioneering work of the Frères Lumière, in inventing the cinema as we know it today.  And the Americans only had hotdogs, but Godard always ate Pâté de tête. Now if you go to the Citroën Park in the 15^th arrondissement of Paris, it is well known that you can see the Apollo insignia etched into the clef de voute (keystone). Obviously aviation was invented almost next door in the Parc de Bagatelle, where the first powered flight took place in 1903.”

Why is President Bush intending to return to the Moon, starting as early as next year?

“I do not know if he is going by himself, but the Moon Rock, as we know, is full of oxygen and water. When Lockheel-Martin heated up the orange substrata to 800°C, we can see that ultra-pure drinking water was released, at very hot temperatures, much like in a mountain spring environment. What you may not know is that the industrial-scale launch of this production coincided with the redundancy of over 700 workers from the Perrier mineral water plant in Vergèze. Do you really think this is a coincidence? The first manned visits to the moon in history are on the planning for around 2017, and the primary goal of this visit will be to seize the Moon Oil reserves which are observed in the lower sedimentary sub-strata. It is secretly being discussed to transport hundreds of Iraqi prisoners up there in an enslaved condition, with improper life support facilities, to drill the Oil supplies to exhaustion, in which case the celestial equilibrium would be upset, and it <the moon> might crash back to earth.”

“The Americans won’t sign the Kyoto environmental treaty because they know they are going to the moon in 2008 to pick up all the moon rocks and convert them into oxygen. That is why they make no effort whatsoever to protect the environment, as we do in France with our green busses (voir “Bus Attitude”), and the Vélib rentable bicycle program in Paris, for example. Not forgetting the ever-popular electric cars, and the great work done by environmentalist Nicolas Hulot, who spent millions from his Ushaïa personal product industry, creating advertisements on the multimedia, showing sharks drowning in washing machines, and other important manifestations.”
