What do you know?

The Great Moon Landing Controversy - NASA faked the 1969 moon landing

There are a couple of chain mails regarding this conspiracy theory doing busy rounds of the inboxes these days, chances are you might have recieved one of them already.
It all started when Fox TV aired a program titled Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? This program had several 'experts' picking out the flaws in the images of the moon landing made public by NASA. So much was the brouhaha that NASA had to come out with their rebuttal.
This controversy notwithstanding, it brings out another, more sordid, side of information filtering. We are bombarded with information from all angles every minute of our lives. Television, newspapers, the internet...every medium of communication is out to tell you whats going on in the world. But is the information being passed on to you the absolute truth?
Our beliefs, opinion, allegiance...our very existance, is wrapped in a shell of what we percieve is the truth...but is it really? Is our intellect being manipulated by someone so powerful that he can control what we hear, see and believe! Are we merely a tiny dot in the grand scheme of things? And what exactly is the grand scheme of things??? I don't know about you but the next time I read another bombastic headline, I'll stop and wonder...
