Ohoh! Looks like the hoaxheads mean business this time. New petition......

[Glom]

Verily, thine number shall remain at 3.

I was wondering if one of us should sign it just for fun, but I wouldn't want to risk anyone doing a Sadiq Khan and setting something terrible in motion.

The army of hoax believers, if we are to believe their misguided rhetoric, have enough members to see this through without our help. Awe130 claims the movement is on the increase so we just need to sit back and watch the tidal wave swoop over and set a revolution in motion. They only have 99997 votes more to go! Strap yourselves in. It will be messy.

My bold, whoever it may be the tide isn't rising very rapidly.  Awe130 had his "whisper" touted for some time and probably only rodent brain joined him, IIRC.

You made me go check in there to see how the rodent was doing. I scrolled back 7 pages before I gave up and not a single entry was real. All of them were the Global Market Spambot thing. The only interest to be found there now is the remarkably obscure market reports the spambot offers. For example, "Global Milk frothing industry" was particularly piquant. It invites so many questions and would have appeal to so few people. Nevertheless, I steeled myself and stiffened up my backbone and staunchly resisted the urge to click it.

I'm rooting for an excess of infighting and turf wars, such that the administration will be effectively non-functional.  It won't stop them (or Congress) from doing real harm, but it will hopefully slow them down. 

And you have to admit, knife fights between Bannon and Jones would be entertaining.  Horrifying, but entertaining. 

That does sound like a current best-case scenario.  It's interesting, though--conspiracists join together when it's convenient and schism when it's convenient.  This is something we've all observed for years.  Since the incoming administration has such a strong conspiracist bent, it'll be interesting to watch it develop.  It's something I'd wish I could watch from far, far away, though.

Still 3... and I'm sure if awe130 were to speak on this matter he'd tell us that more people are joining the whisper each day.

Now excuse me if I'm being thick, but if the whisper is growing exponentially, which I think would be a reasonable assumption. What would be the coefficient of growth for the whisper based on this data.

.....that's floundering even more than Awe130's from back in 2012. It's going to be great shoving the results in their faces whenever they start yapping about how everybody is waking up to the supposed hoaxed landings.

Oh no! The link is broken!

They must be on to something!

Maybe the new administration shut the site down.

I wonder if all of the petitions were on the Obama White House website and were archived when it was replaced by the Trump (hurp)holds back urge to puke(/hurp) White House website.

Edited:
Yep, that's what it was. Here it is: https://petitions.obamawhitehouse.archives.gov//petition/provide-full-disclosure-nasa-and-apollo-moon-landings

And they seemed to have lost 1 signer, only 2 currently.

The brown enevelope finally arrived then.

[smartcooky]

Back up to three again..

[LunarOrbit]

I suppose they can petition Obama as much as they want now, but the smart move would be to recreate the petition on Trump's White House website.

[ineluki]

recreate the petition on Trump's White House website.

And have the great canadian law expert Moonman write it
