Evidence of a conspiracy
« on: September 14, 2007, 12:15:19 PM »
When I ask someone for evidence of the conspiracy, they normally start talking about money and bribed astronauts and stuff like that.  No.  That just means it is physically possible for one to exist.  But is there any actual evidence that it does exist, not that it could exist?  For instance, have any mysterious hackers been launching attacks on the site that you've managed to trace to a NASA domain?  I doubt it.  But before we debate about how the conspiracy could operate, let's first make sure it exists.

Exacly.
And you (FE'rs) are telling me that the reason for the conspiracy is money.
Why would then NASA and everyone else pay out so much money on space science, rocket's, satellites, robot science and ALOT of stuff? They are paying VERY VERY VERY much for that.
They wouldn't do that if the reason for the conspiracy is money.

"The Earth is flat, the government says that it is spherical; there must be a conspiracy to cover it up."

That is enough "evidence" to convince an FE’er that a conspiracy exists. . .

What we know:
The government has a motive
The government has the capability
The government has been caught conspiring for less gain

As far as evidence:
For the most part, you are correct. We do not have a mountain of hard evidence, but we do have some.


The conspiracy is the biggest problem with flat earth theory. Any FE will admit to that. It does not mean, however, that we are not trying to gather evidence in spite of the conspiracy.

I was under the asumption that the biggest problem was the waves.

But anyway. Yeah, I made a thread like this a couple months back. The only response was Tom saying that a space shuttle blew up.

But this isn't the government, remember?  If this conspiracy was orchestrated by the government, this website would not exist and we would all be dead.  I made a thread about that once:

http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=15597.0

If there is a conspiracy, it is the top few guys at NASA doing this, nothing more.  There is no chance of this being an inter-agency top-secret government plan.

People can and will always argue that there is a flat earth while evidence permits; as there is evidence supporting almost everything in our modern day world. This debate will never end either, as as certain of things we are; it is impossible to prove something doesnt exist, and until every last person sees that at the north and south pole, there is no ice wall leading to no-space; there will be a just arguement for a conspiricy; given the evidence for a flat earth.

1.) The tests and trials of Earth Not a Globe continue to hold true when conducted by impartial experimenters and modern members of the Flat Earth Society.

2.) NASA maintains that the earth is a sphere. It's not.

3.) Ergo, either a conspiracy must exist or NASA has never been into space.

The earth is flat.

NASA says it's not.

Ergo, a conspiracy.

What we know:
The government has a motive

Money is not a motive. It is a noun. Regardless, you have not explained how money is the motive for telling the populace the world is round, then using funds gained from the lie to study the non-round earth. It makes no sense.

The government has the capability

And you have never once, shown us this reality. They have the capability to what?

The government has been caught conspiring for less gain

When?

As far as evidence:

For the most part, you are correct. We do not have a mountain of hard evidence, but we do have some.

So by that last quoted sentiment, you openly admit here, for the Hexagonal world to see, that both sides cannot, ever, in full consensus, win the debate.

Thank you Narcberry, you just went up a peg in my eyes.

The conspiracy has a budget of BILLIONS of dollars. We on the other hand are simply individuals facing an enemy that, if it wished to, could crush us. Say I set out tomorrow to gather conclusive evidence of the ice wall. Anything could happen to me. I could be abducted under anti-terror laws, renditioned to an Egyptian jail and have a confession forced out of me while the CIA fabricates some evidence about a bomb-plot.

I believe in a flat earth, but even presuming I had the finance or ability to confirm my beliefs, that does not mean I would be successful in my aims. Knowing there is a conspiracy, I also know it would be unwise to challenge it directly.

Money isn't a motive? If I could make billions of dollars a year to lie to a bunch of dipshits who believe this shit already, I'd ask where to sign up.

I like how your straw men wear jeans.

My point was, it is claimed that the "potential conspiracy" lies to us all, in order to...attain funding, to study the non-existent round earth, space, and on and on. If these people are using a world-spanning deception, to study false data, WHERE IS THE GAIN?

You still have never, once, answered that question, the last time I asked it.

Where is the gain to a conspiracy of this nature? Who gains power? Who gains cash?

It makes no sense.

I answered it, in the thread you ended up not returning to.

"How the mighty have fallen indeed. Let's try to explain this in simple sentences then:

It doesn't balloon anything. No idea how you got that.

Real satellites and projects cost lots of money in materials and man-hours (if we take NASA's budget as actual evidence). On a flat Earth, space exploration and such would cost even more (given the obvious issues).

However, real exploration, projects and satellites would not occur or exist in FE, allowing the conspiracy to take the unused expenditure as profit. You know, the whole idea behind the motive."

I did return, but your post made no sense to me. How are they gaining money, by telling me, mom, dad, all that, that the planet earth is round, when it really is not?

Federal grants are not handed out based on the shape of planet earth. They are handed out based on what the fuck GOOD the money use will go to. If a bunch of people are studying a false presentation of planet earth, they are not getting rich, and merely keep the lie going.

So again, for what?

The government puts aside somewhere like sixteen billion dollars a year for "space exploration." Somewhere like two or three, MAYBE four billion dollars of that is used for 'upkeep.' Making it look like they're actually USING this wad of cash for space exploration. The rest, they say, is history. At least for the pockets of the conspirators.
