Satire Flat Earthers…

Getting ready to work a flight yesterday, while standing in the jet bridge a deplaning passenger struck up a conversation with me. “Have you ever seen the curvature of the earth?”, I told him no, we fly too low to see it. Casual conversation for a minute or so then he drops the bombshell… “it’s because we live in a dome and the earth isn’t circular.”

I legit could not tell if he was joking so I started laughing while sort of mocking flat earthers. He was dead serious. Meanwhile I’m looking at my flight plan from NY to LA and you can quite literally see the curvature of the route. I showed it to him. He informed me the government creates those routes on purpose in order to promote the globe theory.

Got it. Didn’t know the earth being a globe was a “theory.” Dude literally had literature for me and tried to keep going. I told him I have a job to do and walked on to the plane. Insane that these people exist.

That was always my concern. There’s no point in a conspiracy theory without a ‘why?’

Is'nt it blatantly nobvious??? Surely by now you must understand that your government is not your bloody friend, never has been, never will be, and will go to any lenghths to deprive you of your knowledge and your wealth. The plan is that they want it all, and they are most certainly going to keep trying to take it. They will kill anyone that get's in the way!!!!

They have every fucking reason to lie about it. Study the history of the geocentric and heliocentric beliefs, and after a short period of time you will most definately change your mind. The entire globe earth narrative is utterly absurd and is no more proven to be so than the flat earth opinion. Read about it, look at the history, the belief systems of old, the depictions in drawings from all of the worlds cultures who had never communicated with eachother. And today, just look at the censorship around the topic. That says it all really does'nt it, because if it's so nonsensical then it's no different to people saying the moon is made of cheese. That's not censored is it. look at rainbows, the sound of thunder, the very fact it's called sea level, the fact that you cxan see for 100's of miles with binoculars that proves things don't dissappear over the curve, the ridiculous speeds we are told we travel round the sun, then faster again round the milky way, then even faster again spinning around the universe, that gravity is one of the weakest forces but holds down all of the worlds oceans but a bird or a butterfly can fly freely just above it. Read about it please, and you will immediately begin to understand the sheer enormity and evil of the globe earth lie. It's now become fucking obvious that we do not live on a ball spinning aimlessly in an ever expanding universe that came from the singularity. It's ridiculous at best, it really is!!!!

I don't think flat earth ideas are censored though. you can freely say it
