Sibrel is more likely than not a pro Apollo official story "plant"
Bart "BS" Sibrel was my introduction to the entire notion of moon hoax conspiracy. I was rocket crazy at the time and looking for movies about the moon to watch with my kids.
BS floated to the top of the search heap.
At the time he had a "top 20" on his web page. I debunked all 20 of them off the top of my head. His email response was very unpleasant.
Sibrel is more likely than not a pro Apollo official story "plant". I say this because as I pointed out before, he brings up this lame notion that we faked the moon landings to one up the Ruskies. The fraud's dynamic was a prestige driven one. Why would you take all of these ridiculous risks for that? Doesn't add up. So I view Sibrel as a guy who maintains the debate in the "tame range", rocks, photos, videos, one upping the Ruskies. No danger to the Apollo legacy there.
He may be sincerely an HBer, but in that case, his perspective and vision are so very limited. He is almost of no help to us.
HERE'S A LITTLE MORE ON K .2 AND J .65 COORDINATE CONFUSION
I got to thinking about the Emil Shyster numbers game, thinking about it in the context of the Apollo 11 LAM 2 Flown Map’s “mysterious blue dot". As mentioned in a previous post, well prior to my encounter with the Apollo 11 Image Library web page;
http://next.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/images11.html
a NASA sponsored web page maintained by Apollo Lunar Surface Journal mavens Eric Jones and Ken Glover, I had determined that given the Apollo 11 LAM 2 flown Map of Michael Collins featured small grid squares of a little less than 2 minutes of arc on each side(latitude 1.97 X longitude 1.95) and also given that “Tranquility Base” was at latitude J .65 / longitude 7.52, the officially determined post flight coordinates of Tranquility Base ( 00 41‘ 15” north and 23 26‘ 00” east) would be found at LAM 2 map latitude K .2 / longitude 5.549 .

As covered in previous posts, the reason for this anomaly, with two coordinate sets for one “Tranquility Base” had to do with the map’s being relabeled, its grid being shifted roughly 1.3 miles to the west and a bit to the north as well.
I had suggested given this intentional mislabeling/deception, that it may have been the case the unmanned Apollo 11 military package which landed on the moon 07/20//1969 may have been landed at K .2 and 5.6. This, given the fact that a mysterious and altogether unexplained blue dot could be found on the Apollo 11 LAM 2 flown map of Michael Collins. Indeed, the unexplained and mysterious dot is referenced in the Apollo 11 Image Library text by authors Jones and Glover. Again that fascinating quote/reference;
“Finally, there is a small, blue dot at about K.2/5.6, which may not have been purposefully drawn.”
Most certainly, the mysterious blue dot is no accident as it marks 00 41’ 15” north and 23 26’ 00” east, the radian coordinates of “Tranquility Base” on the Apollo 11 flown map given its labeling and scaling. The dot at the very least references the reference frame shift itself. That is, by moving on a well marked accurate map grid site 00 41’ 15 “ north and 23 26’ 00” east from its rightful place at J .65 and longitude 7.52 to K .2 and longitude 5.6, one then has the LAM 2 map exactly as it appears in the history books, with 23 30’ 00 east at longitude 7.6 and 00 30’ 00” north at roughly latitude D .5 . So we see at the very least this blue dot served as a reference marker indicating the exact reference frame shift that was employed in the Apollo 11 Mission scam.
Thinking about this more, I thought to myself that my initial suggestion, that equipment was landed at K .2 / 5.6 under the cover of this appearing to be 00 41’ 15 “ north and 23 26’ 00 “ given the reference shift scam, though reasonable, might not have been what the fraudsters actually set out to do and ultimately achieved. Perhaps even more probable, devious and effective would be to land the unmanned equipment, the unmanned LM most likely, right at J .65 and longitude 7.52.
The rationale for this would be, first of all during the real-time “landing”, given the map set up and Shyster’s shenanigans, people may well have thought that Tranquility Base was at K .2 and longitude 5.6 . That after all is exactly how the map was labeled. So with that as a “dummy site”, activity could have gone on, unscrutinized at J .65 and longitude 7.52 . By unscrutinized, I mean unscrutinized by some of NASA's own key personal. People not in on the scam. People duped by all of this.
My best guess is that what was landed was/is a modified, military sensor equipped LM. Doesn’t have to be this, but makes the most sense. So that is parked there (J .65 and longitude 7.52) with its LRRR and all the other stuff it has, sensors and what not. Because the real-time "landing map" has K .2 and longitude 5.6 as 00 41‘ 15” north and 23 26‘ 00” east, the astronauts, though they are not on the moon, still are in a very real sense hidden with regard to where they are supposed to be there on the lunar surface. Additionally, once the real-time “landing event” is concluded, then the perps have a well placed military instrumented LM, replete with LRRR and God only knows what else at true coordinates 00 41’ 15” north and 23 26’ 00” east. Now if somebody takes a picture, they see what they are supposed to see, an innocent enough looking LM. But during the actual real-time simulated and very fake landing, the astronauts would not be “caught there” at J 0.65 / 7.52(or better said, not be caught , not being there where and when they are supposed to be), because the map’s grid had been shifted, and Tranquility Base was for that one day, and for that one day only, when the LM was on the lunar surface during the simulated mission, at K .2 /5.6
There are lots of possibilities. I like this scenario because it puts an instrumented LM right at the landing site. Photograph it, image it, and you see what you are supposed to see, the LM that Armstrong allegedly landed. But during the actual Apollo 11 Mission, at least per the LAM 2 map, Tranquility Base was not there, not there in the sense that 00 41’ 15” north and 23 26” 00” east would graph to K .2 and 5.6 given the fraudulent gridding scheme transiently employed for that one day.
