John Hamer returns to The Michael Decon Program for a conversation about power, public trust, and the experiences that led him to question conventional accounts of history and science.Hamer traces his interest in alternative research to a story friends told him after Princess Diana’s death an account he says prompted years of investigation and eventually a writing career. From there, Michael and John explore a recurring theme in Hamer’s work: his belief that governments, media, and organized religion use fear to influence public behavior.
They discuss war warnings, emergency preparedness, their experiences during the COVID era, and the distinction between personal spirituality and institutional religion. Apollo skepticism and a disputed chapter. The conversation turns to Hamer’s latest book, One Giant Lie to Mankind, co-written with Alistair Neal, which challenges the accepted account of the Apollo missions and Moon landings. Hamer explains how their collaboration began and describes the research he says informed the book. Michael also raises allegations by Jay Weidner concerning material in one chapter. Hamer acknowledges including material without checking its original source or crediting Weidner, says the omission was unintentional, and states that he apologized and is revising the book to remove the disputed passage. The discussion presents Hamer’s response; it does not independently establish the full extent of the overlap or resolve the dispute.
