   Just a note on your famed NASA moon hoak page;
   Hasselblad cameras were used for very specific reasons. Firstly it was designed and optimised; it has a revolutionary mechanical film winder; it had a set exposure and aperture because the film was specifically designed to be particularly flexible with respect to exposure. The same went for the film used; Kodak Laboratories developed a special film with an f rating of around 3200 meaning it was extremely fast and flexible enough that the exposure settings could be locked down to only a few notches on the camera. This aided the astronauts who spent years taking photos with their hasselblads around their homes for practise. Development was achieved to perfection by the use of test shots at the start of the roll which would show defects which could be corrected for in the rest of the roll, deriving the “perfect” photos.
   The lens was designed by Zeiss to also be flexible; it had only a few focus settings. The reason the background is so clear is the aperture settings for bright light promote sharpness across the whole focal length; also large format film with fast, small grains are also much clearer than slower 100-800 ISO films as they have more inherent resolution. All of these reasons contributed to the superb photography on the moon. But mostly it was the five odd years of photography practise the astronauts had! Cheers, keep up the good work.

   It will be hard to go in Pooflinger’s footsteps, but I’ll try in two weeks. I hope you send me an entry…

   Phoenix/Nibiru is clearly described here, and also its importance for mankind, life on Earth,….
   Placed also on Andy Lloyds web:http://www.darkstar1.co.uk/news.html

   “And he took me and led me where the sun goes forth; and he showed me a chariot and four, under which burnt a fire, and in the chariot was sitting a man, wearing a crown of fire, (and) the chariot (was) drawn by forty angels. And behold a bird circling before the sun, about nine cubits away.

   “And I said to the angel, What is this bird? And he said to me, This is the guardian of the earth. And I said, Lord, how is he the guardian of the earth? Teach me. And the angel said to me, This bird flies alongside of the sun, and expanding his wings receives its fiery rays.

   “For if he were not receiving them, the human race would not be preserved, nor any other living creature. But God appointed this bird thereto.

   “And he expanded his wings, and I saw on his right wing very large letters, as large as the space of a threshing-floor, the size of about four thousand modii; and the letters were of gold. And the angel said to me, Read them. And I read, and they ran thus: Neither earth nor heaven bring me forth, but wings of fire bring me forth. And I said, Lord, what is this bird, and what is his name? And the angel said to me, His name is called Phoenix….

   “I saw the bird, and he appeared 4 in front, and grew less and less, and at length returned to his full size. And behind him I saw the shining sun, and the angels which draw it, and a crown upon its head, the sight of which we were 5 not able to gaze upon; and behold. And as soon as the sun shone, the Phoenix also stretched out his wings”
