Apollogist 

A person who uses any means to defend a controversial claim by the State, in particular one who brands any counter-claim a 'conspiracy', the most famous such debate being that the USA landed men on the Moon from 1969 to 1972 in the Apollo missions, hence the deliberate misspelling of the word 'apologist'. Apollogists are the modern day equivalent of the Religious apologetics, who sought to defend inconsistencies of fact and logic in their faith by excusing the author. Likewise, Apollogists attempt to defend inconsistencies in evidence distributed by the State through unsubstantiated claims, diversion, the abuse of natural effects, and the misuse of scientific principles. Unlike their Religious counterparts, Apollogists are inclined to belittle or berate the author of a counter-claim, accusing them of being mindless; having no education or no understanding of a scientific principle; wearing tin-foil hats; on medication; or more recently as being part of a social movement attempting to subvert the State.
As with the Apollo mission to the Moon, the proposed Orion mission to Mars faces an obstacle in passing through the Van Allen radiation belts, which are harmful to life. When interviewed, former NASA astronaut and Apollogist Don Pettit said, "I'd go to the Moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we don't have that technology to do that anymore. We used to but we destroyed that technology and it's a painful process to build it back again."

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
