Every element of this game is based on actual events and political realities as they existed between 1963-1973. In painstaking detail, this game teaches players how Lyndon Baines Johnson assumed power by coup and in doing so, examines the national consequences of  JFK's assassination 41 years later. This open source game, brought to you by the makers of Political Doublespeak Translator Pro, will be released under a Creative Commons license, meaning no money will be accepted for it. The aim is to educate Americans, not profit from their grief.

Here's a walk-through....

It's 1963... the US is in the birthing pains of a violent civil rights movement. You are the Vice President of the United States and are to be dropped from the ticket, leaving you open to prosecution for mob ties and the   murder of a federal agent in '61. (1) Your only hope of political survival is to kill the president by using his segregationist political enemies to do the dirty work for you. The mob wants Kennedy's head for his attack on the Mafia, as do several high-level CIA operatives who had formed ties with them since World War II, particularly during the attempts to assassinate Cuba's Fidel Castro in Operation Mongoose, in preparation for the doomed Bay of Pigs invasion.

As for the segregationists in the deep south and the Klan, President John F. Kennedy is detested and threatened for his Catholicism, (2) and his stand on civil rights,(3) particularly after sending federal troops to the University of Alabama in a stand-off with Gov. George Wallace. The Klan threats to is life begin in earnest thenceforth.

3.  President Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights Address

You make secret alliances with the deadliest enemies of the president: ultra  right-wing segregationists in Washington DC (which includes the KKK), and the FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, who was also to be fired in '64. As Vice President, you also have certain powers to assist your endeavor: you can summon friends in the CIA and ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence), and when you do, you can recruit disgruntled, rogue CIA agents fired after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, intelligence assets with deep ties to the Mafia. The Mafia, incidentally, is now under attack by Attorney General Robert Kennedy, as are CIA operatives with ties to the same. You will need support from all of the president's enemies should the coup proceed as planned. Your private lawyer advises you also have to have a patsy ready upon assuming power, someone to be arrested immediately to give you time to destroy evidence and divert attention from yourself.  The New Orleans plan for a motorcade assassination was actually based on one formulated for another target, Castro, but now an attempt will be made to do this in Dallas. The plan, (1) as described in Miami surveillance tapes of Klansman Joseph Milteer on Nov. 9, 1963; calls for, and depends upon a successor allied with the coup plotters. You accept this role, and coincidentally, your Secret Service code name on November 22, 1963, is "Volunteer". Your challenge is to create a plausible assassin. You can frame a CIA double-agent who has just returned from Russia, or choose from any number of "lone nut" scenarios. If you cannot make the correct secret alliances or create a plausible patsy, you lose the game.

1.  FBI-Miami Police Dept. Miami recording of Klansman Joseph Milteer, Nov. 9, 1963

You have to convince the president to visit your home state, where you can control the local authorities in Dallas which are then Klan-run, and lead him into an ambush without killing your friend, whom Kennedy has seated in front of him because he's suspicious of your motives and is aware of Klan death threats as he goes into Texas You must convince him to go to Dallas by presenting a myriad of arguments, or lose the game.

You have to divert attention from yourself since it is immediately suspected you were involved in the plot. You have a choice of  newspapers, (1) television networks, and magazine sympathetic to your plight that will demonize anyone who questions your integrity. Since the patsy will get a trial, you realize you have to silence him before that happens, because there is no way the evidence against him could convict him. This part of the game is timed.

Level  4: Set Up Mock Commission to Fool Americans

You also have to set up a phony commission to bring plausibility to the "lone nut" theory. The man you choose to lead this commission is a Klan leader from California. Your challenge is to protect the Klan element in the assassination while condemning them publicly, appearing fair and racially sensitive. When the physical evidence and dozens of witness defy the argument that only one gunman fired, you have to get a spin master to make your case plausible. Enter Arlen Specter. He's a Jew, so any appearance of bias towards the Klan will appear non-existent. However, Specter, like Warren, LBJ, Gerald Ford, and Hoover,  is also Scottish Rite; and he knows that though not all the Scottish Rite approves of the Klan, the fact remains that the SR created the KKK and even put a Klansman on the Supreme Court in 1939. As such, if he goes after them, he goes after himself and those who promised to advance his political career. Your challenge is to look at Specter in the eyes, without instinctively punching his lights out: if you do, your penalty is that he will get another newspaper to release his version of events. This is also the bloodiest part of the game, because you have to kill witnesses and there are many. If your hit men kill the wrong one, you lose the game.

As such, if he goes after Klan segregationists, he goes after himself and those who promised to advance his political career. Your challenge is to look at Specter in the eyes, without instinctively punching his lights out: if you do, your penalty is that he will get another newspaper to release his version of events. This is also the bloodiest part of the game, because you have to kill witnesses and there are many. If your hit men kill the wrong one, you lose the game.

What was the real-life basis for this level? In a television interview, A Current Affair, the mistress of Lyndon  Johnson, Madeleine Brown, described the meeting of 21st November, 1963, when she was at the home of Clint Murchison. Others at the meeting included Harold L. Hunt, J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, John J. McCloy and Richard Nixon. At the end of the evening Lyndon B. Johnson arrived...

"Tension filled the room upon his arrival. The group immediately went behind closed doors. A short time later Lyndon, anxious and red-faced, reappeared... Squeezing my hand so hard, it felt crushed from the pressure, he spoke with a grating whisper, a quiet growl, into my ear, not a love message, but one I'll always remember: "After tomorrow those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again - that's no threat - that's a promise.".

It's important to note that John J. McCloy was a member of the now discredited Warren Commission which "investigated" the assassination, appointed by none other than Johnson. Nixon himself was in Dallas on the day of the assassination.

Your challenge is to stay in office. It's 1967. The Garrison Trial in New Orleans is bringing national attention to your role in the Kennedy assassination in a clever and deliberately roundabout way. Though not naming you directly, Jim Garrison introduces evidence that condemns you as he tries Clay Shaw for conspiracy, and Americans witness the  Zapruder film (1) for the first time. Even members of the Warren Commission, particularly  Hale Boggs, begin to question Johnson's role in the assassination. "As Hale Boggs been sayin', you could be found in it someplace..." (This audio from an FBI wiretap of Johnson speaking with then AG Ramsey Clark.)

The war hawks want to collect on its favor and wage unlimited war in Vietnam, and the Klan wants blood because you passed the Civil Rights Act to redeem your ill-gotten road to power, passing the same civil rights legislation the man you murdered had presented and fought for before he died. To appease the Klan and the military industrial complex (which includes elements of the broadcast media), you offer two sacrificial lambs: Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. Both championed the Civil Rights Act and opposed the Vietnam war. By now, Sen. Robert Kennedy suspects you were behind his brother's assassination in Dallas, and decides to  run for President.  (Hoover's infamous wiretaps and bugging of King and RFK confirm this) Publicly, however, RFK's suspicions are tacit. By all accounts, the popular young senator is a shoo-in for the presidency in 1968. If he becomes President, RFK controls the military, and you're a dead man. Anyone who helped you conceal or perpetrate the crime may at the very least, expect to spend the rest of their lives in prison, if not executed for treason. Your challenge is to eliminate Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy in 1968, before RFK can become President. Also aware of Johnson's complicity is Martin Luther King. If anything happens to RFK, Johnson knows he will tell all he knows.. So before you get to RFK, you have to get King.  If you choose the wrong hit men, or kill Kennedy before King, you lose.

3. President Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights Address

Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King are now murdered. Hundreds of thousands of protesters haunt your every move, "Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids have you killed today?" is a refrain that you cannot escape. You realize that for every enemy you kill, another arises with even more enmity. Your friends in the lodge and temple now fear and suspect you, and vie to replace you. Your challenge is to leave a legacy that won't appear as a stain in American history; control the nationwide riots after the assassination of Martin Luther King, and to do as many good deeds as you can before your friends in the Washington cabals catch wind of it and threaten to talk.

You retire from politics, and refuse to run again in 1968. You now spend the rest of your life dodging assassins who fear you might talk. Almost all of your conspirators are dead or murdered by 1977. Those who abetted Johnson, such as Arlen Specter and Gerald Ford, remain the easiest tie to unravel the Johnson coup. It is for this reason the Scottish Rite decides Arlen Specter must become Senate Judiciary Chair in 2005, to prevent non-masonic federal judges from being appointed and to prevent the appointment of Supreme Court nominees that threaten the SR or the Ku Klux Klan. Exposure of the latter promises a Washington purge of Democrats and Republicans, but especially Republicans ranging from Orrin Hatch to Trent Lott.

Regardless, they cannot unring the bell, and the bell has been rung.

In LBJ Reloaded everyone loses but the military industrial complex (GE, Westinghouse, etc), the Washington cabals and the print and broadcast media. The latter, though the most critical and vulnerable target for citizen reprisal, is the least suspected of malfeasance but in due time will reap a chilling come-uppance. As will the cabals.

LBJ Reloaded. The only winners are those who don't play.

• Why Conspiracy is a Dirty Word to the Johnson Apologists

On Day of Assassination, Nixon Predicted Johnson Would be Dropped Headline from Dallas Morning News Nov. 22, 1963. A Wink and Smile as She Grieves Both Ladybird Johnson and Jackie Kennedy witnessed the same brutal murder, but look at the shit-eating grin on Ladybird's face as Johnson winks to a crony. VP Lyndon Johnson, in fact, was found chuckling over the body of JFK. JFK's Casket Dumped at Sea Source: Associated Press, March 28, 1999 WASHINGTON (AP) -- A bronze casket used to transport President Kennedy's body from Dallas to Washington was dropped from a military plane into the ocean two years after he was killed, according to assassination documents. Kermit L. Hall, a member of the now-defunct Assassination Records Review Board, said Friday that documents to be released Tuesday by the National Archives show that the casket was flown several miles off the Maryland-Delaware coast in early 1965 and dumped in an area where the military discards unstable and outdated weapons and ammunition. The reasons for the disposal aren't clear, but it fuels speculation among assassination researchers that it was discarded to hide foul play.... Who controlled the military at the time, and had exclusive authority to order this destruction? Johnson. Evidence James Earl Ray's Gun Didn't Fire the Fatal Slug Helped Bring the Following...   Ex. 1: Coroner Thomas Noguchi's's sketch, Robert Kennedy's wounds. Area of power burns denoted at right ear. Sirhan shot from the front and never got closer than 10 feet.

The stated aim was to attack Warren Commission critics. The owner of Traffic Games claims no link to US Scottish Rite templar masons or any bias; though most of the long-discredited  Warren Commission was Scottish Rite: e.g., Gerald Ford, Allen Dulles, Earl Warren. And naturally,  the developers themselves are Scottish freemasons.  The reason this is relevant is because the Scottish Rite and the KKK are indisputably tied, and Klan death threats actually led to Kennedy's cancellation of a Miami visit days before his assassination.

In 1963, Kennedy's life was continually threatened by the Ku Klux Klan, particularly after he sent federal troops to desegregate the University of Alabama. (Even today, segregation has its defenders. On Nov. 2nd, 2004, Alabama voters rejected an amendment to remove the state's school segregation laws.)

Albert Pike, the Klan's Chief Judicial Officer, lies entombed in the Scottish Rite's temple headquarters in Washington DC. How's that for a link to the KKK? Most disturbing of all, to this day its members include Democrats and Republicans, then as now. Al Gore, for instance, is Scottish Rite. So is Trent Lott. As such, it's no wonder that when a Tennessee jury questioned James Earl Ray's guilt and concluded that there was a conspiracy in Martin Luther King's murder, Gore remained silent. When King's own family publicly defended the convicted killer and an FBI agent who handled the case came forward to collaborate these findings, Gore still remained silent. Bill Clinton ( a DeMolay mason) and Janet Reno also turned a blind eye. (Gore was former governor of Tennessee, and one has to wonder if he put any pressure on the judges overseeing the case, because someone did.)

Since 1979, when the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Oswald didn't act alone, if indeed, he was responsible;  the most most obvious and consistent opposition to critics of the Warren Commission comes from right-wing freemasons, particularly those in the Scottish Rite.

JFK Reloaded: This game Arlen Specter and Scottish Rite Approved! Doom III. Offers proof Mars  is inhabited by demons The remains of three people killed are removed from the site of a private jet crash as officials look through the debris Monday, Nov. 22, 2004, near Houston's Hobby Airport. The plane, which crashed a minute away from landing was supposed to fly former President Bush to Equador. Bush has now canceled his trip. (AP Photo/Pat Sullivan) This is a biplane with no electronic instrumentation or 21st century navigational aids. It doesn't fly well in a heavy fog. For some odd reason, many press assets assumed it was the kind that went to pick up former president Bush.

Let me put this in the plainest language possible: if your father was an active  freemason during the early 60s when segregation was still in full effect, there's a good chance he was also in the KKK. And if he was it doesn't mean he lynched anyone, but there's a good chance he was a member nonetheless. That's how big it was in 1963, and back then, recruitments often took place in the local lodge because they were white only and secrecy was assured there.

So I repeat:  the most most obvious and consistent opposition to critics of the Warren Commission comes from right-wing freemasons, particularly those in the Scottish Rite. On the far left, expect opposition from the ACLU and ADL when asserting it was Johnson. These, too, count Scottish Rite members at the leadership level.

And methinks thou doth protest too much.

If Video Games Redeem the Credibility of the Warren Commission, then "Doom" Proves Mars is Inhabited by Demons

The Scottish developers of the game made no secret of the fact the game was designed to attack critics of the Warren Commission. Developer Kirk Ewing, coincidentally a Scottish Rite mason, argues: "We believe passionately there was no conspiracy," and hence the urgency of releasing this game to give Americans some much needed foreign perspective on the assassination from a country that for the most part, hates Americans along with the rest of Europe.

When 59 censored witnesses, physical evidence, medical evidence, Johnson's own lawyer, White House phone taps of Johnson, thousands of documents "sealed" by Johnson etc. and the laws of physics all point to a Johnson coup, and to the fact you're an evil brown-nosing shit hoping to score points with your elitist apron-clad ilk; why not make a video game to redeem your flat-earth argument?

After all, when you play Doom III, which is set on Mars,  killing a monster or ectoplasmic entity proves Mars is inhabited by demons, doesn't it? Well, maybe not to most people, but to the fucktard apron boy, it's as good as case closed.

On the Anniversary of Kennedy's Murder, George Bush Sr. Escapes a Plane Crash

There are usually no coincidences when it comes to mysterious plane crashes and politicians, especially when these events fall on certain dates. Thus, for those well-versed in the Machiavellian political intrigues that govern real-world politics, the first question to come to the mind of the wary was this: did Bush Sr. escape an assassination attempt, say perhaps, via premature "mechanical failure"? had it been Nov. 23 or Nov. 21, such a question would not have been asked, nor any suspicions raised. November 22, though, is special, for reasons we'll get into presently.

A jet chartered to pick him up was en route from Love Field, the same airport where Kennedy landed before his murder exactly 41 years ago. Before any NTSB team had even arrived at the scene, before any evidence had been collected, a thick fog and collision with a light pole was immediately blamed for the crash. Why is this suspect? because it implies that the pilots were flying an open-air Sopwith Camel with no electronic instrumentation or 21st century navigational aids.

As for the significance of this date:

In 1963, George Bush Sr. was one of the few CIA officials who tried to warn others of Kennedy's impending assassination. As such, he was one of the few members of the Scottish Rite to show a hint of dissent. (See article below for the relevance of this secret society.)

Numerology comes into play here since we're dealing with a cabalist society, particularly the date of Kennedy's assassination, November 22, or 11/22.  Add up the aforementioned numbers, and you get 11+22= 33. There are 33 degrees in the Scottish Rite (SR). Lyndon Johnson, Kennedy's successor and corrupt rival, was SR, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was 33rd degree SR and the man who led the discredited Warren Commission, Chief Justice Earl Warren was also Scottish Rite.

The ancient Druids believed their magic spells could only work on certain dates, and numerology was as critical to their beliefs as runes and human sacrifice. The Scottish Rite is awash in neo-Druidism and other forms of mysticism, and in fact, Thomas Paine, Revolutionary War icon and author of "Common Sense" writes at length about Druidism and freemasonry.

The Eight Red Swastikas

Trent Lott, Far Right Specter Supporter, Scottish Rite mason with Known Ties to Klan "I'm a pretty conservative guy. But I'm also a pragmatist, and I think it would be a mistake for him not to be chairman." Trent Lott, to Reuters, Nov 16, 2004Washington Post, regarding Arlen Specter Lott still has it in for Bush and Bill Frist since 2002, when the President publicly distanced himself from Lott's pro-segregation comments made at Strom Thurmond's birthday bash, a scandal that cost him his seat as Senate Majority Leader, effectively killing his presidential ambitions. Elected on an anti-abortion platform, Lott's risky support for a pro-abortion Senator may have something to do with the fact that Specter also refuses to certify the KKK a terrorist organization. Why is this relevant? Observe.

What party would benefit from such an unambiguous call to assassination, if it were answered? certainly not the Democrats. Bush would be martyred, the Democrats blamed and ostracized. The only party that would benefit from a Bush assassination is the extreme right in the Republican Party; the unspoken Lott loyalists who coincidentally, also want Specter in as Senate Judiciary Chair..

Beware the Specter of Assassination

"Hi, I'm Arlen Specter, the Warren Commission's Magic Bullet stooge, and I want to be your Senate Judiciary Chairman! My credentials?  I've made every president since JFK unsafe from potential assassination; I created a system of judicial subversion which offers a presidential rival an incentive to abet anyone hoping to kill and replace the president with an inter-party rival or otherwise. I love Bush, though, and as Senate Judiciary Chair,  I promise I'll show this president just as much attention and justice as I showed Kennedy!"*

Arlen Specter, Political Doublespeak Translation

The Prelude....

George W. Bush, the Year Zero Prez

For those of you who never heard of Tecumseh's Curse: After William Henry Harrison had defeated Tecumseh's forces at the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, it was alleged that Tecumseh had placed a curse on Harrison and every president after him. Starting with Harrison in 1840, Presidents elected in a year ending in a zero, in increments of 20 years,  all managed to die in office. Lincoln and Kennedy were elected in in such years, 1860 and 1960 respectively, and both were assassinated. Ronald Reagan was also a year zero president, having been elected in 1980. Reagan was, of course, shot in 1981 but managed to survive. This supposedly ended the curse but the death threats and plots remain.

George W. Bush, elected in 2000,  is also a year zero  president. Some call it a curse, but actually, when assassinations are involved, murderous political ambition and self-interest trumps myth and coincidence. And alas, the same crooked piece of shit who handled the last year zero assassination is now a key player in Bush's term. It doesn't help that Bush is fielding more death threats than Kennedy did in 1963. Nor is it any more encouraging to realize the man who abetted Kennedy's murderer, the Worshipful Master of the Laws of Physics, is now about to become the Senate Judiciary Chair and has thus moved himself into a prime position to control, say, any potential post-assassination senate investigation. Arlen Specter has just made his pre-emptive Warren Commission. That said, kind and gentle reader, allow me to direct the following to a select society of people I have no intention of convincing or educating, as there is no need. (If you are not in this latter group of DC chess masters, may I refer you to the Letters section for the latest shits and giggles?)

This last paragraph I direct to the wary, on the level: Specter, this fucktard apron-boy has to go and when he does, don't be among those who fall with him; we've reached an age where secrecy and privilege are now the greatest illusion of all. If you want to test this assertion, feel free to do so, but Brother... do it at your own peril. 

And by the way, if so much as one hair is harmed on "the Temp", if so much as one hair is askew, there won't be a successor to help you, your grand hailing sign of distress will do little more than draw fire into your ranks. We're not in Dallas anymore, Dorothy. And thank God for that.

So sayeth I, Plebeian "Checkmate" Mann.

P.S.

For the rest of you readers, patience please ;-) This upcoming piece will be a doozy.

The heads that will roll at CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN when the truth comes out about Nov. 22, 1963. And it's coming.  In fact it's here.

Also in the works: The powerful anti-Bush broadcast media assets, Democrats and disgruntled Republicans who want Arlen Specter as Senate Judiciary Chair. If you think the issue is just about his pro-choice stance, you're missing the big picture. For all the aforementioned parties, it's not just their political survival that's at stake, but immunity from criminal prosecution. This immunity depends on maintaining Specter's credibility...or rather, the illusion thereof. Those media assets most likely to be subject to criminal charges will be Specter's fiercest defenders.

Jacqueline "Big Booty" Duty and her Prom Date Duty as a child Bigot Skank Sues over Prom Dress Ban You're only as good as the company you keep. Here's Jacqueline Duty of Lexington, KY, with the controversial prom dress. She is presently suing her school district for defamation, violating her free speech, false imprisonment, and assault because she was barred from the school prom. Both Duty and her lawyer have yet to be informed that a school has the right to enforce a dress code at such a function, and can, for instance, turn away a student who attends the prom in a t-shirt or tube top. This is doubly so if and when a prom is held outside of school property. The legal precedent has been there for ages, and the school district is in a win-win situation.  Moreover, she was wearing a Confederate dress in a school district that's in the state where Abraham Lincoln was born. This wasn't just bad taste, it was designed to agitate students at what was supposed to be a festive prom night, especially since many of these students take pride in the fact Kentucky gave us one of the greatest American leaders of all time. Duty is suing for $50,000. According to her lawyer Earl-Ray Neal, "Her only dance for her senior prom was on the sidewalk to a song playing on the radio..." Read that again. We're supposed to feel sorry for this race-baiting social leper because she refused to follow the dress code? I couldn't stop giggling at the thought of this imbecile on the sidewalk, dancing by herself to the strains of banjo and washboard music. I mean, look at her...ten generations of inbreeding couldn't get you a more classic pan face, a more earnest testament to the horrors of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. (Yes folks, this is what nine months of fermenting in 190 proof placental fluid will do to you.) So the question lingers... is she suing over free speech, or suing out of spite because not one boy would be seen near the racist skank on prom night? Apparently the school also had feared she was glorifying race terrorists, and not without good cause. Unfortunately for Duty, several credible witnesses are prepared to step forward to counter her claims that she was not race-baiting. Was she tied to white supremacists? did she frequent racist chat rooms? was she deliberately antagonizing fellow students in a pathetic, teenage appeal for attention? the answer is obvious, and if this does somehow go to trial, Ms Duty will be in a for a very rude awakening. One observer facetiously alleged that earlier choices included a dress that celebrated the Nazi Swastika, the North Korean flag, and the Syrian flag. but apparently she settled on this one because it stood for those who, in an attempt to make slavery permanent and universal in this country, killed more Americans than all our foreign enemies combined. Regardless, the ACLU might take up her cause. Related: An Imbecile Dancing (for illustrative purposes)

In a blatant lie, Smith asserts none of this ever happened, and as such, asserts the hearings you see pictured here didn't happen either. While he insisted that the FBI found nothing worth investigating, he failed to mention that Congress did. (See inset.)

(more...) Abraham Lincoln, August 21, 1858, regarding the Dred Scott Decision President Lincoln's Allusion to the Freemasonic Role in the Dred Scott Case. To make his case, Lincoln uses architecture analogies only a freemason can truly understand. Incidentally, Lincoln's VP,  Andrew Johnson, was 32nd degree Scottish Rite and impeached as a suspect in the president's assassination after pardoning Confederate Gen. Albert Pike, the latter having fled to Canada to escape arrest  for complicity in the murder of Lincoln.   "My understanding is that popular sovereignty, as now applied to the question of slavery [abortion], does allow the people of a Territory to have slavery  [abortion] if they want to, but does not allow them not to have it if they do not want it." Abraham Lincoln in Ottawa speech regarding the Dred Scott Decision,  August 21,1858 The abortion debate also concerns popular sovereignty. The parallel between Lincoln's quote and the abortion debate today is so striking you can switch only one word in Lincoln's quote above (the substitute word in brackets) and still observe a striking relevance today.

DEVELOPING: SMART 1 Moon Satellite Challenges NASA Credibility In November of 2004, traveling at 3,300 to 21,000 mph, it took a 370 kilogram satellite 13 months to get into lunar orbit. Apollo astronauts allegedly did it in days: way back in 1969. In 1999, the BBC reported that "Three decades on, the McDonald Observatory Laser Ranging Station near Fort Davis in Texas, US, regularly sends a laser beam through an optical telescope to try to hit one of the reflectors."  Notice the word "try". A satellite now in orbit around the moon has yet to confirm the existence of this reflector, or any other evidence of an actual moon landing.
