The Flat Earth Society is Controlled Opposition!

Main Points:
Flat Earth Society (FES) was founded in 1970 by Leo Ferrari, a philosophy professor and suspected Freemason.
Ferrari mocked genuine flat Earth research by mixing satire with false arguments to discredit the movement.
Samuel Shenton created the original International Flat Earth Research Society (IFERS) in 1956 as a genuine flat Earth advocacy group.
Globalists countered Shenton’s influence by promoting the Flat Earth Society, turning flat Earth research into a joke.
Leo Ferrari’s Tactics:
Carried a "pumpkin-sized rock" as a fake artifact from the "edge of the Earth" during interviews.
Published satirical articles blaming "global fallacies" for racial prejudice.
Gave convoluted answers in interviews, e.g., using Einstein's theory to explain Earth’s round appearance.
Charles K. Johnson later took over IFERS after Shenton's death. He exposed Ferrari’s FES as a fraud.
Johnson's house and flat Earth materials were destroyed in a suspicious fire he blamed on a NASA agent.
Modern FES: Now an online forum managed by individuals accused of making flat Earth research seem ridiculous.
Daniel Shenton (no relation to Samuel Shenton) is the current FES president, accused of further discrediting flat Earth research by giving incoherent interviews.
Common strawman arguments promoted by FES:
FES wrongly claims that Earth is accelerating upward to simulate gravity (deemed easily disprovable).
FES is a psy op, the intention is to dominate the FE topic with twisted truths so anyone will immediately think FE topic is ridiculous.
Did u fall for it?
Additional Points from 2016 Updates:
Vice.com Interview Criticism:
FES spokespersons used confusing jargon like "electromagnetic and optical acceleration through an aetheric whirlpool" to explain different star visibility.
IFERS claims the real reason for different star visibility is simple perspective, citing Dr. Samuel Rowbotham ("Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!").
Rowbotham’s Observations:
The horizon is a vanishing point, not a physical boundary.
Stars like Ursa Major and Orion are visible across wide latitudinal ranges inconsistent with a globe model.
Of empty space, maybe, and even then what they actually say is that it's expanding at the speed of light, so it's only functionally infinite.
Infinite Earth still doesn't explain how we observe the sun moving, or how we see the stars moving, or tides, or anything else that would be required if FE was true.
