The Flat Earth Society Is Controlled Opposition!
The Flat Earth Society Is Controlled Opposition!
For those who have done
research on the Flat Earth Society and found their website, you may
have walked away thinking, “These people are not serious!” or
other such thoughts. Well, you are right, as they are the controlled
opposition.
The Flat Earth Society
is a controlled opposition group that mixes truth with lies and
satire to discredit genuine flat Earth research, a job they have been
doing for a long time now. Founded in 1970 by Leo Ferrari, a
suspected Freemason and philosophy professor at St. Thomas'
University, Leo spent his life making a mockery of the legitimate
subject of our flat Earth. Though he passed away in 2010, his Flat
Earth Society still exists today online as a website/forum which,
still true to form, purports several false flat-Earth arguments and
treats the entire subject as a dead-pan joke.
In 1956 a genuine
truth-seeker and flat-Earth researcher, Samuel Shenton, had started
the IFERS (International Flat Earth Research Society) and was making
quite an impact with his publications and interviews, revealing the
truth of our flat Earth to the masses. The globalists attempted to
ignore the threat posed by Shenton for over a decade before finally
creating their competing, farcical controlled opposition FES (Flat
Earth Society) which has spent the past 45 years steering all
flat-Earth inquiry into the realms of satire and sarcasm.
To give an idea of how
the controlled opposition works, consider the example of Leo
Ferrari's pumpkin-sized rock he would always take during interviews
and lectures claiming he brought the stone back from the edge of our
flat Earth! He would say, with a huge smirk on his face, how his boat
had fallen over the edge but he was luckily saved by hanging onto
this rock. Clearly, treating our flat Earth in this tongue-in-cheek
way discouraged people from taking the matter seriously.
Ferrari's entire
schtick involved approaching the flat Earth subject from every angle
EXCEPT the rational and scientific. For example, he published a
series of articles including "The Global Fallacy as a Cause of
Racial Prejudice," arguing that people in countries at the top
of the globe felt superior to those at the bottom, when in fact there
was no top or bottom to the world, so, "even if one assumed that
the world was spherical, the 'top' and 'bottom' have been arbitrarily
selected, resulting in racial discrimination against those in the
south. How can the globularists, their hirelings and dupes, seriously
claim to believe that all men are created equal when they teach that
some men are eternally fated to hang like bats from the bottom of a
globe on which other men stand upright? The only solution is a flat
Earth!" So instead of presenting measurements or experiments,
instead of presenting any proofs or evidence, Ferrari would often
simply argue the flat Earth as a serendipitous satirical solution to
social problems.
In a famous 1971 CBC
interview Ferrari was asked, "how do you explain the fact that
the Earth appears round in the pictures taken from space by the
astronauts?" Instead of answering and addressing the clear
photo-trickery involved, Ferrari replied, "Simple. No doubt
you're familiar with Einstein's theory of the curvature of space. If
space is curved - and modern physics is based on that assumption -
the Earth, from space, would appear circular. It's a simple optical
illusion." This convoluted, pandering answer really is no answer
at all and serves only to make the listener cock their head and raise
an eyebrow.
Around this time,
Charles K. Johnson, another genuine flat-Earther, took over the IFERS
from the recently deceased Shenton. He and his wife Marjory, along
with being flat-Earthers, were also vegetarians and
anti-vivisectionist activists who campaigned for better treatment of
our animal friends. In 1974, when Johnson heard of Ferrari's budding
organization, he decided to contact him and wrote a cordial letter
requesting further information about his society, to which Ferrari
never replied. Two years later Johnson wrote another polite letter
saying, how he was "delighted by the prospect of a like-minded
campaigner," and said how it was "a very happy day"
when he learned of Ferrari's society. "I feel sure at the core
we can't be too far apart in aims," Johnson wrote, "I do
try to practice what I preach, to think and seek and search out
reasonable ideas and concepts." He closed saying that "he
could hardly wait" to hear from Ferrari and hoped very much he
would please reply. After six months without a response, Johnson
wrote one more time, explaining again his sole purpose to "enlarge
his view" and "getting and holding onto the facts,"
which would benefit himself, and in time, the rest of the world. He
requested a reply and a copy of Ferrari's FES magazine. In conclusion
Johnson signed "thanks from the bottom of my heart," in
advance, but warned that if Ferrari insisted on ignoring him once
again, "I will then know for sure you are some kind of enemy of
the Flat Earth work." Eventually Ferrari did reply this time,
but not with a message or magazine as requested, he simply enclosed a
FES paid-application form.
Johnson investigated
Ferrari's organization further and found that he was using "the
flat earth idea as a gimmick to entertain and promote the atheistic
society." From then on, Johnson worked hard to expand his IFERS
and constantly for the rest of his life exposed Ferrari's FES,
calling him a "false prophet guilty of muddying the waters of
truth." Near the end of his life, tragically Johnson's house
burned down along with all the flat Earth materials he and Shenton
had collected over their lifetimes. Until his dying day, Johnson
claimed the fire to be the result of arson by a NASA agent he had
seen snooping around.
Nowadays the IFERS has
disappeared and only Ferrari's FES exists as a website and message
board maintained by moderators who, following in the footsteps of
Ferrari, make a mockery of the whole thing and turn every thread into
a joke deterring any serious flat Earth researcher from pursuing
further. The only redeeming aspect of their website is the library of
other people's flat Earth material they maintain, which is actually
quite good. The current President, Daniel Shenton, (coincidentally NO
relation to the genuine flat-Earther and IFERS founder Samuel
Shenton) can be heard in the following clip, still "muddying the
waters of truth," with several false flat Earth arguments (in
the previous Post):
Notice he says he is
"not sure about the Sun, Moon and planets, but that they're
probably spheres, but it's definitely not proven, I think." He
flip-flops his answers and expertly fumbles his words as if
intentionally trying to sound scatter-brained. Compare and contrast
this shill with genuine flat Earth researchers like myself who will
tell you unequivocally that the Sun, Moon, stars and "planets"
are all merely luminaries, round discs of celestial light, NOT
spherical terra firma capable of landing on as the Freemasons at
NASA would have you believe. He then goes on saying "the effects
of gravity, I feel, could be simulated by the disc Earth moving
upwards, accelerating upwards at 9.8 meters per second, would have
the same effects of what people traditionally think of as gravity."
This ridiculous false flat-Earth argument also appears on Wikipedia
and the FES homepage. It is provably wrong as the "upwards
accelerating disc" would smash into all helicopters, planes and
hot-air balloons making sustained flight of any kind impossible, but
they purposely promote these straw-man arguments so flat Earth
neophytes will rightly laugh off their dumb explanations, and then
following suit, write off the entire subject.
To combat Ferrari's
Flat Earth Society controlled opposition forum, and in memory of
Samuel Shenton, Charles Johnson, and other true flat Earth
researchers of the past I have now started this website – that you
are now on.
If you would like to make a donation to help getting out the flat earth truth, it would be much appreciated.
