Back in the 1970s, the Jewish-Israeli press reported that for some unexplained reason, Apollo 11 astronaut, Neil Armstrong, carried a small Israeli flag with him all the way to the moon and back — and that it was ultimately presented as a gift to the Israeli President on behalf of President Richard Nixon:
At a short ceremony on April 19, 1970, Israel received a rare gift – two pieces of the moon brought back on the successful Apollo 11 mission to the lunar surface, which was headed by Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in July 1969.
The rocks were presented at the time to Prime Minister Golda Meir and President Zalman Shazar by U.S. Ambassador Walworth Barbour on behalf of U.S. President Richard Nixon, but when it came to dusting them off recently as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for the moon landing, no one actually seems to know where they are.
But it’s not just the Israelis that are desperately seeking their little pieces of the moon.
Officials all across the globe – and even in the U.S. itself – are hunting for the hundreds of moon rocks handed out as gifts to to world leaders and American governors.
Of the two rocks presented to Israel in 1970, one was placed in container, sealed with a glass lid, and put on displayed at the Eretz Yisrael Museum in Tel Aviv.
A small Israeli flag taken into space by the American Aldrin and Armstrong was returned along with the rocks, as well as a letter from Nixon reading: “This flag of your nation was carried to the Moon and back by Apollo 11 and this fragment of the Moon’s surface was brought to Earth by the crew of that first manned lunar landing.”
The second moon rock was given to Prime Minister Golda Meir.
Several years later, in July 1973, a third piece of the moon – from the Apollo 17 mission – was given to President Efraim Katzir. This was the last manned Apollo mission to the moon.
So where are Israel’s moon rocks today? The Justice Ministry, which is responsible for cataloging all gifts given to the state says: “The Civil Service Law (Gifts) wasn’t enacted until 1979, therefore, gifts given to public employees were not transferred to the custodian general.”
No one in the President’s Residence in Jerusalem or in any other government ministries seems to know where the three rocks are. The United States Embassy in Jerusalem didn’t respond a request on the subject from Ynet.
Oddly, a story that appeared in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency circa 1974 claimed that the Israeli flag was on Apollo 17, but made no mention of the flag on the previous Apollo 11 mission:
A tiny piece of moon rock brought back by the final Apollo mission and a small Israeli flag which the American astronauts carried to and from the moon were presented to President Ephraim Katzir yesterday as a gift from President Nixon. The presentation was made by the U.S. Charge d’affaires Owen Zurhellen at the President’s residence here.
Zurhellen conveyed Nixon’s request that the moon fragment be displayed at an Israeli museum. Katzir said such an exhibition was under consideration. The Israeli President, who is a scientist, described the moon rock as “a symbol of American scientific genius and achievement.” He said he did not know of any accepted formula for expressing thanks “for receipt of a piece of the moon,” adding, “It’s quite an extraordinary gift.”
The first story from 1970 claimed that there was an Israeli flag on Apollo 11 but no mention of one on Apollo 17, but the second story from 1973 claims there are an Israeli flag on Apollo 17 but no mention of one on Apollo 11. That’s odd.
Leaving aside the evidence that the Apollo moon missions were faked, this story raises many interesting questions.
Whose idea was it that Neil Armstrong should be carrying an Israeli flag for this historic mission to the moon?
And whose idea was it to allegedly have the Israeli flag again on Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the moon?
It’s not as if the U.S. and Israel had a close, stable ‘friendship’ in 1969, barely two years after the Israelis intentionally attacked the U.S.S. Liberty in a vain false flag attempt of drawing the U.S. into their war with Egypt.
And it is highly unlikely that it was Richard Nixon’s idea, considering he had a well-deserved distrust of Israel — and of Jews in general — and the Israelis knew how he felt.
In fact, Nixon’s Vice President, Spiro Agnew, believed that pro-Israel Jews were behind the campaign to force him to resign.
According to Michael Collins Piper, in his book, Final Judgment, one of the first things Nixon requested from J. Edgar Hoover when he took office was, “Get me the files on Israeli nuclear espionage.” (p. 364) And given Hoover’s close relationship with the ADL, there can be little doubt that Nixon’s unhealthy interest in that subject immediately raised some red flags in Tel Aviv.
In 1973, Nixon went behind the back of the Israelis to make an alliance with King Feisal of Saudi Arabia in an attempt to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was this ‘stab in the back’ that, according to Piper, lead the Mossad to orchestrate the Watergate break-in in order to bring about the political downfall of Nixon. (Final Judgment, p.366)
Another strange twist is that it was John F. Kennedy’s goal for the Apollo program to put a man on the moon, and considering the overwhelming evidence that the Israeli Mossad was behind the JFK assassination, the very idea that Neil Armstrong was carrying an Israeli flag to the moon, on a mission dedicated to JFK, makes it even more improbable and symbolically troubling.
It’s worth noting that during a 1974 interview with Walter Cronkite, notorious exiled international financier, Robert Vesco claimed that “the forces that threatened me are the same politically that eliminated President Kennedy and then President Nixon and want to eliminate all of Nixon’s associates.” (Final Judgment, p. 367).
What did the liberal Kennedy and the conservative Nixon have in common? They both crossed Israel.
Did they have this in the recent First Man film? Did anyone watch it?
On Apollo 11, Michael Collins who didn’t land on the moon with Armstrong and Aldrin, took three flags with him on the trip: flags of the USA, the District of Columbia, and the US Air Force. The DC flag is a very strange choice…..

For me…………….just more proof how “infiltrated” the Jew has been in our history.
The movie “Capricorn One” is proof enough for me. NASA and the moon hoax was simply an extension of their movie abilities.
We have never faced an Enemy on par with the Jew. Fascinating.
Come at us with a Sword and we will defeat you. Come at us with mental, emotional and spiritual weaponry, and we fold like a cheap lawn chair.
We’ve lost the “Fear of the Lord”. Jesus said, “When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
The road is Narrow and only a Few will pass the test.
That’s just it–the Jews are masters at emotional appeals and manipulation. Their schtick would never work appealing to our logic and common sense, so they’ve got to target our women and children through television and advertising. And to our misguided Christian altruism…
Investigate ‘Flat Earth’. Then you’ll see how NASA and all other ‘space’ programs are simply overfunded sci-fi hollywood studios and that it is all part of satan’s huge lie to completely discredit the validity of The Bible from it’s first Word to it’s last…
‘Heliocentricy’ (the idea that our sun is our center) is straight pagan sun worship and disregards everything the Bible has to say the subject. Yes, there is indeed a reason ALL ASTRONOTS are masons…
There’s nothing in the Bible that is refuted or contradicted by a ‘globe-shaped’ Earth. In fact, one of the beautiful qualities about the Bible is that it is NOT dependent on any theory about the shape of the planet. The shape of the Earth is moot in terms of comprehending scripture.
I will respectfully disagree. There is quite a bit written in the Scriptures that supports a continued understanding of the condition of the earth as created by God. I am not here to argue for or against. I am here to simply suggest honest research on the subject, since there is absolutely nothing in the Scriptures that SUPPORTS our current ‘heliocentric’ view of our earth and everything around it that God created…Satan has indeed deceived the whole world 😉
That’s my point–the Bible does not take a specific stance on any particular model of the Earth, ‘heliocentric’, flat, or donut shaped. That’s why the Bible is so brilliant–it’s not contingent on intellectual fads from 3,000 years ago. If you think you somehow have a better understanding of God’s will because you believe the Earth is flat, you’ve perhaps taken a wrong turn somewhere.
But it does. What is the relevance of the firmament? of the tower of Babel? or Christ ascending the highest point to see all the kingdoms of the earth? or that God claims the earth is built on a foundation, that the earth is his footstool? or that the earth is a CIRCLE (when there is a word for “ball” that could be used) that He puts His feet on? These are but a few of many examples. If you understand that the earth is anything but the realm God created and centered everything around, you’re missing out on understanding quite a few things in Scripture.
I want to make it clear I am not trying to stir contention, but provide applicable, alternative considerations. That’s what brings us all here, after all…
To believe that the Bible espouses a literal Flat Earth paradigm, you have to be very selectively literal minded. For example, you obviously are making reference to Matthew 4:8, “Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ” So where is this literal high mountain today? It clearly doesn’t exist, and therefore to take this verse literally makes no sense.
And those who quote Matthew 4:8 conveniently avoid the retelling of this scene in Luke 4:5, “And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.” No mountain is necessary here to see the whole earth very quickly.
What these two verses show is that this metaphorical episode in the Bible is NOT contingent upon any particular shape of the earth, unless you insist on being literal minded when it suits your agenda. Attempt to read any of Christ’s parables literally and you won’t understand any of them–and it was the literal mindedness of the Jews that made it impossible for them to understand His message.
I was once just like you. I mocked the notion. I didn’t think it could 1) be true or 2) be relevant to Scripture. When I finally stopped mocking long enough to start doing what many of us here seem to do best – read and research with an open mind – I came to a much different understanding. Do you admire the genius of Nikola Tesla, a self-professed Christian? Do you know he believed the earth was a realm, not a sphere? Did you know the first man to the stratosphere in 1931, Auguste Piccard declared the earth appeared to be a flat disc with an upturned edge? I could go on, but I won’t. Please don’t mock. Just research for yourselves.
You conveniently ignored my point comparing Matt 4:8 and Luke 4:5, and instead make a false appeal to authority, falsely claiming that Nikola Tesla believed in Flat Earth. He did not. The alleged quote where he claimed the Earth is a ‘realm’ is actually fake.
https://flatearth.ws/tesla-misquote
The Piccard quote is also taken out of context:
https://flatearth.ws/auguste-piccard
What is your answer to Matt 4:8 and Luke 4:5? And why is me asking you to locate the actual mountain on which Christ stood in Matt 4:8 a form of “mocking”? Where is this mountain so we can stand on it and see the flat earth as Christ did? You made this assertion, so you have the burden of proof. And asking for proof is not mocking. Scrutinize all things.
Since you’d like to continue, I’m claiming that your demeanor and attitude is indeed mocking. However, I will give you your first link – I cannot disclaim it and appears a legit debunk. I am no expert on Tesla. However, there is a big problem with Auguste Piccard. Is he not the science community’s posterboy for the “first man to observe the curvature of the earth”? Your own attempt to debunk proves the science communities to be liars, as Auguste supposedly declares he did NOT observe curvature, even if he supposedly is misquoted in the first place. But you act as if I’m hanging my hat on those – they just happened to be easy to mention. As for going ‘tit for tat’ as I’m supposedly “ignoring Matt 4:8 and Luke 4:5” – you have MY original points that YOU ignored to address first, choosing to cherry pick from my comments: the firmament, the earth’s foundations and footstool, use of the word “circle” instead of “ball” in Job, or the tower of Babel? All I have been trying to say is the understanding of the earth as a stationary realm around which God set the “heavenly bodies” is worth looking into. This was not intended to a pissing match.
Never did I argue for a spherical Earth–you’ve put words in my mouth. I stated that the Bible does not commit to any particular shape of the Earth, and I stand by that. You’re the one trying to prove it’s flat, and I’ve easily refuted a number of your contentions in attempting to do so. But I cannot refute that you feel that I’ve “mocked” you–as those are your personal feelings which cannot be proven either way, nor was it my intention. But to make that claim certainly gives you an implicit excuse not to be obliged to answer my challenges.
It is a crying shame you have missed my point this entire debate, as I scratch my head wondering when I accused you of anything, let alone put words in your mouth. “Flat Earth” is simply an understanding that can take many forms. The main understanding is that our universe is not heliocentric as the Bible absolutely does NOT support the theory, which then rules out any concept a solar system, therefor rotating and revolving globes, and then brings special attention to what the Bible truly says about the earth – giving us a better understanding of the Scriptures, and therefor our place in this world – whether or not we want/choose to believe the earth is flat, or a sphere. It is not because my wittle feewings got hurt that I will no longer debate this with you, but because it is plainly obvious that you believe I’m trying to convince you of something, when all I’ve done, and continue to do, is present a relevant alternative to investigate. Argue with ‘flat earthers’ all you want on many other platforms…let’s leave this forum to honest scholarship and brotherly love, shall we?
Agreed. It’s hard to have a discussion with someone who has mastered the art of moving the goal posts.
Lol…good one, really 😉 I have a feeling if we knew each other in the ‘real world’, we could be friends…
I’m sure the moon rocks were sold for shekels.
Interesting article by William Cooper on the masonic/illuminati connections to the Apollo missions:
https://biblebelievers.org.au/masonapo.htm
Oh what tangled webs they weave…
Practically all astronauts are Scottish Rite masons. Masonry comes right out of jewry. If you look at the degrees, a lot of the sacred names and passwords are in Hebrew. It comes as no surprise to see masons kissing the tail of jewry. Masonry is jewry for the goyim.
A must read about the jewish-masonic connection:

Practically, they’re responsible for the french revolution, bolshevik revolution, WW1, WW2, the fake “war on terror”….
Millions of people mowed by these demons.
