The Flat Earth Society is Controlled Opposition!
Source: IFERS - international flat earth research society Eric dubay Posted, December 31, 2015
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.
None of those "controlled" talking points have anything to do with why I'm sure the Earth is a globe (a toroid at the very least).
What does this even mean? FE just goes on forever?
You see, stars are very far away so, if you are near the equator, you should actually be able to see pretty much all of them in the course of a year. What exactly is "inconsistent with a globe model"? If it were flat, we should all be seeing the same stars all the time.
Not if the stars are the one's moving around the fixed star of Polaris.. just sayin
Why not?
If you're at the equator, and the stars aren't so close that the curve of the Earth blocks them (and they aren't) you should be able to see them all, no? Unless they're moving in geosynchronus orbit, and no one is suggesting that.
Imagine drawing a little hat on a circle. The peak of the hat is your observational height and the underside is what you can't see. You'd intuit that you wouldn't be able to see a lot of stars if you were very close to the Earth if your height were low (which it is). However, the stars are so insanely far away that, by the time your "hat" gets to them, it's already "descended" to the point you can see everything on your side of the equator.
If you're on the equator, you get to see both sides, therefore you see all stars.
What fe suggests is the stars are the ones moving around Polaris and the earth is stationary.
Exactly what my own senses suggest to me.
No one knows what the truth is cause we haven't seen it with our own eyes. To rule out the possibility is closed minded imo and it's exactly how i thought not to long ago.
You can see Polaris from northern Australia. That should not be possible.
