The Flat Earth Psyops

Never in my wildest dreams before joining the Freedom Movement, did I think I would be debating with people who sincerely believe the Earth is a motionless flat disc, floating in space. Discussing this topic is uncomfortable for many people in the movement, and understandably, they distance themselves from it, claiming it does not matter if the Earth is round or flat.

Yet, we call ourselves truthers. The truth about 9/11 is very important to our community; the truth about the pandemic, the PCR test, and the mRNA injections are also critically important. Should we waste time fighting over issues that only divide us?

Yet, the fervent and repeated promotion of the Flat Earth theory is a constant on social media, especially on Facebook. The Flat Earth followers are aggressive and generally derogatory towards the “globies” — who in their view are brainwashed by NASA and the media. The secondary conspiracy theory, (and let’s call a spade a spade, it is a conspiracy theory), that NASA faked the Apollo missions, is always part of the Flat Earth theory. In fact, the two theories can be said to be one, at least in the minds of the Flat Earthers.

In 2019, the Flat Earth International Conference (that had only American speakers) was held in Texas. A lengthy list of hip-looking speakers were scheduled:

With a pro website, videos, books and many references to Bible verses, this conference looks slick and professional. Tickets were $249, not including flights and hotel. Conference organiser, Robbie Davidson has written a book called “Scientism Exposed” which is a lengthy rant against all science, and a reinforcement of fundamentalist Christianity. Several of the speakers in their profiles reference 2015 as the year of their “awakening.” Several others are ex-military, and most are noticeably younger.

It is this author’s conclusion, that the recent upsurge in Flat Earth mania, beginning with the first Flat Earth Conference in 2015, is directly attributable to an orchestrated CIA-sponsored psychological operation. And furthermore, the targeted audience is the truther community. The big spike of interest in Flat Earth has levelled off since 2015, but what has emerged is a much more militant cult of believers:

What could the CIA hope to gain from this psyops?

• First of all, they make us look like idiots. Connecting our movement to people who think the world is flat completely discredits our movement, and ensures that any rational human being with a high school education will refuse to listen to anything we have to say about what is really going on.

• Secondly, it discredits Christianity. Totalitarian states have a long record of oppressing religions that are considered a threat to the state. The Church or any religion, if it is organised, can create serious opposition to any government.

• Thirdly, it creates a smokescreen to keep truthers from prying into what NASA is actually doing in space. One of NASA’s biggest projects, in conjunction with Space X and DARPA, is the installation of 50,000 satellites in space. This project dovetails with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is arguably the most draconian project in global history.

As a disclaimer, this post is not going to get into the multitude of explanations of why the Flat Earth theory is impossible because it would be an enormously long post, and I am assuming my audience is not lost down this rabbit hole. Flat Earth, at best is interesting mythology. It would make for a fantastic sci-fi movie about a strange planet covered by a dome, hovering motionless in some far off galaxy. Captain Kirk and Spock could beam down to the planet and meet the strange race of two-dimensional beings who do not believe in space. I for one, would definitely watch it.

It is sad, however, that everything has become so corrupted and confusing, that many people have rejected all science, as well as all history, politics and religion. Skepticism on steroids, resulting in denial of everything and belief in nothing, except the most extreme theories possible. Others have simply given up on trying to understand things because the truth is often very difficult to discern. The Flat Earth theory is therefore an escape from reality, and from the discipline of actual physics and actual science.

The Flat Earth theory is basically claiming all our laws of gravity, motion and force are wrong, in fact horribly wrong. Yet the Flat Earthers have neither alternative math nor any explanation of why our current physical laws are in error. This puts the Flat Earth theory into the belief category — at best, it is speculation. At it’s worst, it is a cult of delusion for the uneducated and scientifically illiterate.

Physics is difficult and like any discipline, it takes years and years of dedication and study. To become a Flat Earther only requires a minimal effort on YouTube. Plus a heaping portion of blind faith.

It is true that scientists can be bought, educational institutions can be turned into propaganda machines, and religious leaders can prey upon their flocks and rip them off. We know this to be true, because we have all witnessed these things during our lifetime.

However, the solution to corrupt science is not to reject all science — the solution is good science. In order to know good science from bad science, we need a scientifically literate population who would never fall for something like the Flat Earth theory. As Carl Sagan once said, “We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.”
