Eric stands at the front of a classroom and points at the blown-up image of a famous photo. • He's pointing because he believes the photo has long concealed a lie. He's pointing because he believes the same photo can also be used to reveal something else. 

• "Have we ever looked at this photo?" he asks the handful of people who have gathered to view his research, including a Creighton University expert on American history and a military historian. "Have we really looked at it?"

Disgusting.

The photo with the large American flag was staged later to make a photo-op. The original hoisting of the flag was with a very small American flag carried by one of the marines through the battle. They were the original marines and corpsman credited with raising the flag. The marines hoisting the large flag in this black and white photo-op are not all the original group who first made it to the top of Mt. Suribachi.

Wait! isn't that the same flag that was supposedly planted on the moon? That one also had black & white stars and stripes on it!

Was Niel Armstrong a marine at all?

It hard to dismiss this idea completely. The evidence is quite interesting and while I remain sceptical. It wouldn't surprise me at all. A mistake might have been made and you have to remember none of the men involved were thinking of their place in history. They were concentrating on surviving the day. If Bradley wasn't in the shot it's entirely possible he thought he was.

The jury is still out on this one.

So if its a fake did Japan win the war?

Nah it's obvious the war was never fought. Look at the shadows and the flag movement. Obviously faked in a studio.
