As a child I traveled with my parents on a trip around the globe, I remember looking down out of the plane window as we passed over oceans and ice. And we traveled between places that wouldn\u2019t have worked out so well if the earth was a flat disc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/0x0\/https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmXCPWAcqXXBakzZGx2uBnouqt6d3WTfwx1B1MyhgqT8YS\/McDonnell_Douglas_DC-10-30%2C_British_Airways_JP5898933.jpg\" alt=\"McDonnell_Douglas_DC-10-30,_British_Airways_JP5898933.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">As a teenager one of the things I studied at university was Geography \u2013 admittedly, like all university subjects it glossed over a few things, such as the fact that oil is not actually a fossil fuel, but is abiotic, but that will have to be another post! &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/sift\/peak-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/sift\/peak-oil\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQma9EDAPXbKntgLkj7iza2JnQjJAUNhJyDhPftrSiHj6NJ\/dinosaur_4.jpg\" alt=\"dinosaur_4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One of the areas that we mostly did cover pretty well in Geography was the physical structure of the planet. There are many millions of planets and one thing they all have in common is that they are all spheres. They are not flat discs like dinner plates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/0x0\/https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmfGLQUeoB2TczzC2JzYkn97jfKFAenRdYuTE8BhgdULrx\/download%20(1).png\" alt=\"download (1).png\" width=\"269\" height=\"269\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There is also another theory that the moon is actually a hollow alien made construct like a death-star. Some people say that idea is bollocks, and I agree, but compared to the flat earth story is sounds pretty reasonable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmXWo8PU3r8fztXVFpBkPCB364m7hVk8XhqbxkyMfwsA47\/image.png\" width=\"536\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There is a story that back in the 60\u2019s the Americans sent men to the moon, and that is complete bollocks too, but many people seem to believe it. Not so many in Russia, but it is still a very popular story in America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/0x0\/https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmaUs7J1f9yusxtqGDBRrmvQMbvXeLFmMr5cVKPYdGa8qS\/image.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Apart from the issue of lots of people having been around the globe in planes, there are also a lot of images taken from the satellites, rockets and space junk that is orbiting around the planet, and although manned rockets have never actually landed on the moon there are no shortage of cameras floating around in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And what the photos show is a spherical planet just like all of the others. Not a blue and green dinner plane with all the oceans pouring of the edge like a waterfall (or not, as the artist may choose), but a blue and green ball.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmPwXtKSw7kYSrKv72TDS8PPgGfB24kLFA3V5DQiHZPWGd\/special-flatearth-640x427.jpg\" alt=\"special-flatearth-640x427.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When I say the artist, the artist I really mean here is David Dees. I\u2019m a big fan of his work but it has mainly been him that has the brought the flat earth con to my attention. Because he is right into it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/0x0\/https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdt43FMTpfGD5xPyufncs1ai88kbXgyaxw3TyPVgaNiDP\/d-dees-flat-earth-1.jpg\" alt=\"d-dees-flat-earth-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">While I think David Dees is perceptive, open-minded, and the real deal, as well as being one of my favourite artists, I think in this case he is unfortunately doing work for the very people he is usually exposing, so what is the real purpose of this flat earth story? Basically to undermine the credibility of a bunch of other conspiracy theories, which unlike the fake mainstream news are actually the true bits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This \u201creligious\u201d site is a good example, because along with a bunch of crap about flat earth, they also talk about the moon landing being fake &#8211; how better to undermine the credibility of a question to the official party line than by linking flat earth theory to fake moon landing?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmeftXmqERjL6xHVrvEFSVRmvoDAWfzNWSESQLEn8K2wib\/2017-12-29_084425.jpg\" alt=\"2017-12-29_084425.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/christianflatearthministry.org\/2017\/11\/04\/fake-moon-landing\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/christianflatearthministry.org\/2017\/11\/04\/fake-moon-landing\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This pattern of connecting the truth to utter crap has long been one of the favourite tactics of mind control organizations like the CIA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/0x0\/https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmceDSgG4CTKkHQNj5cJ5iQUh5buF9m5UhsxHZJQDzpQio\/CIA300.jpg\" alt=\"CIA300.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For once I find myself in full agreement with the majority opinion about something (although I suspect many sheeple may disagree with me about the moon landing being fake), but what the hell, I\u2019m quite enjoying being a conservative, mainstream, old fart on the flat earth issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWyzrF9q6CNooyEAuujmc8tggtU6yVSDEpytFcdNycay2\/wrong-flatearth.png\" alt=\"wrong-flatearth.png\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">So in summary, what I\u2019m saying here is that BOTH the moon landing and flat earth are total bollocks\u2026<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/0x0\/https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVEKaDqhyxitdFYBazu6TSH8LY3CL9NnG1wRhm553tm6z\/download.jpg\" alt=\"download.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/www.frot_.co_.nz_.800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15502 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/www.frot_.co_.nz_.800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/www.frot_.co_.nz_.800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/www.frot_.co_.nz_.800-200x37.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/www.frot_.co_.nz_.800-500x92.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IS &#8220;FLAT EARTH&#8221; A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF MORONIC PSYOP?
