Only one I wouldn't quote myself is the guardian one, and not even cause it's The Guardian. But they cite a biography book, that let's face it, it's probably based on rumors and hearsay. At least with the medical stuff you have actual evidence and medical records.

Define "looked real"? Cause there are tests that can be done on the paper and ink to certify the time period, so you'll know it's not some recent scam someone is pulling.
It could still potentially be a century old prank, of Hitler's war buddies, making it seem like he lost his testicle, but the farther away you get, the least likely it is that someone would hold on to a document they faked for a stupid prank.

>Okay then let's do those same tests on the Diaries of Anne Frank
I don't have any issues with this.
I feel like I should know what you're referring to surrounding Helen Keller, but I don't. And I have no clue what you think was faked about Hawking. Any clarification on these two things would be appreciated.

>All of her ideas and opinions magically mirrored the feminist views of her caretaker Anne Sullivan.
That's reasonable. I thought you were gonna say something like "she wasn't actually blind&deaf". If her caretaker was feminist or whatever, it makes sense that she'd mirror whatever education she received. Just like so many university students today get brainwashed in the most crazy ideologies.
>Stephen Hawking
Regarding his face blinking or muscle twitching or whatever it was interface, that was more recent indeed. Well into 2010s I think. Made by Intel IIRC. Don't know much about this one, I'm more familiar with his prior, finger-click interface. But I don't think they were that different in one crucial aspect: they were anything but rapid. From my understanding, any speech he made, was in no way "live". He prepared every single word, maybe even weeks in advance, and he'd just hit play when put on the scene. If someone made you think anything he said was "spontaneous" in any way, they basically lied to you.
As for "how long can a dude live with ALS", you'd have to ask his doctors. As far as I'm aware, his case is considered a miracle that they don't really understand yet.
>used him as a front facing sympathetic figure
This one I find hard to believe because interviews and speeches from him are pretty hard to come by, which is odd just going by the fact that he's been called the Albert Einstein of our generation. He's definitely an important figure, but if someone wanted to use him like that, they didn't manage to do it very well. They also chose a poor target, because it would be hard to parade him around to give talks and such, like they do with Greta Thumberg. I'd have an easier time believing this about Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Didn't mean this as a way to "expose" anything. Was legitimate curious, especially about Stephen Hawking, cause I've found him an interesting figure since I was a kid, and read a few books of his.

>I think she was used.
Honestly, I could believe that. From what I remember about her story, is that she couldn't communicate with anyone until she was like 5-7 years old. Children lost in wilderness and recovered late in their development like this are really hard to be raised properly and usually lack the full intellectual development of an adult human. So I can definitely see Helen Keller be ripe for all sorts of manipulation.

>What if Helen Keller never existed?
I mean... clearly a person calling herself Helen Keller existed...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ch_H8pt9M8
I honestly don't even see a use in speculating whether she existed or not.
And if you can't imagine how one can communicate thoughts and ideas in different ways than you, than you lack imagination.
@maxmustermann @MK2boogaloo @matrix @colonelj @MisterRogersSnapped @repent @SouvlakiSmuggler @Zyklon_Dan @adolf @verita84
Dictated, sure. Whether the thoughts themselves actually originated from her, or she just basically repeated what she was taught, that I don't now. Even today plenty of kids come out of university saying and writing a lot of marxist bs. Doesn't mean the ideas are their own.
@maxmustermann @MK2boogaloo @matrix @colonelj @MisterRogersSnapped @repent @SouvlakiSmuggler @Zyklon_Dan @adolf @verita84
I don't know fam, the video shows she's quite competent at communicating for someone deaf and blind.

>Hollywood trickery
What, in the 50s? You for real? That's even before the fucking Moon landing. Thinking they had the tech back then is bad enough, now we're going back almost another 2 decades?

You guys went to the moon, the footage is real, (if it were fake it'd look a lot better), but people have a poor understanding of photography so they keep thinking it's completely fake. What NASA probably did/does is slightly touch up photographs to make them look better, or fix problems that occur with big pictures that are composed of smaller, stitched together ones.
@MisterRogersSnapped @MK2boogaloo @matrix @SouvlakiSmuggler @Zyklon_Dan @colonelj @repent @adolf @verita84 @maxmustermann
From my understanding it was received live by the antenna in Australia, and then relayed all the way to US. At least as far as the first step footage is concerned. Don't know if everything from that point forward was as important as to broadcast live. There might very well have been a delay of some minutes, or more put in place, to make sure they didn't live broadcast the death of an astronaut. That probably wouldn't have been good.
The first satellite television signal was relayed from Europe to the Telstar satellite over North America in 1962. The first geosynchronous communication satellite, Syncom 2, was launched in 1963. The world's first commercial communication satellite, called Intelsat I (nicknamed Early Bird), was launched into synchronous orbit on April 6, 1965. The first national network of satellite television, called Orbita, was created in Soviet Union in 1967, and was based on the principle of using the highly elliptical Molniya satellite for re-broadcasting and delivering of TV signal to ground downlink stations. The first commercial North American satellite to carry television was Canada’s geostationary Anik 1, which was launched in 1972.[1] ATS-6, the world's first experimental educational and Direct Broadcast Satellite, was launched in 1974. The first Soviet geostationary satellite to carry Direct-To-Home television, called Ekran, was launched in 1976.

There's a lot of conspiracy theories I enjoy hearing people talk about, but that's one of those I just go full blown nope on. That's just way too much stupid for me.
@MisterRogersSnapped @MK2boogaloo @matrix @SouvlakiSmuggler @Zyklon_Dan @colonelj @repent @adolf @verita84 @maxmustermann
In some ways analog is easier to transmit than digital. Some decay of analog signal just means a poorer image. A decay in digital signal means no image at all.
Also, the distance to the Moon and back isn't that difficult. Don't know why you'd get that impression. The difficult part is going deeper into space, to like Mars or other planets.

>far to good ability
Are you kidding me? I hardly understand a word she says... too good my ass. And I've heard deaf people talk, and I definitely understand them far better.
- Making footage of Keller with her handler and make claims that she could sense her handler coming.
With something that is a lot harder to fake and a hell of alot more expensive to make; Footage of the Moonlanding in a Studio.
