Nuke The Moon - Carl Sagan's diabolical work on Top Secret Project A119
Did Carl Sagan work on a secret project to nuke the moon in the 1950's? Apparently so, according to several reports that surfaced as the result of work on his post-humous biography. At the height of the Cold War, the U.S. Air Force was working on a top-secret plan to detonate an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile(ICBM) on the moon, in a dramatic show of force designed to intimidate the Soviet Union.
According to the top physicist that worked on the project, Dr. Leonard Reiffel, of the Armour Research Foundation, said "The Air Force wanted a mushroom cloud so large it would be visible on earth." Reiffel confirmed that it was "certainly technically feasible" and that an ICBM could have hit the moon with a margin of error of less than two miles.
This is one of the more bizarre plans hatched by our government, right up there with the Operation Northwoods and MK Ultra.
I originally saw the "Nuke The Moon" mantra on IMAO, which sells "Nuke The Moon" T-shirts and has a brief diatribe espousing the virtues of same, and assumed he'd come up with the idea on his own. Hat tip to Robert Racansky for pointing out that the government had, in fact, conspired to nuke the moon long before IMAO's existence.

The "Moon": A Ridiculous Liberal Myth
It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors .. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.
