And why?
It's part of the progressive-athiest agenda. Round Earth, big universe = big government programs. (e.g. NASA). Keep in mind the space race started with Sputnik. Do you think the Soviets were telling the truth about anything? Then the US lost the cold war. Yes, lost! But they have to perpetuate the truth that they won it. Ronald Reagan ran on a platform of less government and instead gave us more via massive spending on fictional technology. But it was good for the economy. Now we have global warming idiots telling us what to do. So everything went as planned. But um, how can you have global warming if there ISN'T A GLOBE?
The conspiracy is more or less the same as it always has been. The Rothchild's, I mean the central banks, I mean Goldman Sacks kinda runs everything, ya know?
If people knew there was a flat earth then so much government spending -- of all governments -- that is ostensibly going toward military spending (which is mainly fictional) couldn't end up in the pockets of Wall Street investment bankers.
Is this far-fetched? If you think so, go back to thinking Wall Street exists for the purposes of making the economy more efficient.
