Tom, you still miss a significant point.
The FAQ Says that only NASA know about the conspiracy, no one else (more people would mean less profit individually, right?)
Even if the military started NASA, it does not mean they are in on it.
My Dad "created" me, and he doesn't know everything i'm thinking. NASA lead the conspiracy once they found Space Travel impossible. Why would they tell the military.
Or, better yet, there is no conspiracy. Take your pick, you're wrong either way.
At least some of the military has to know about the conspiracy, a fact which should be plain to anyone with brains.
Hint: Who monitors and controls the GNSS?
"The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) developed by the United States Department of Defense and managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing. It is the only fully functional GNSS in the world, can be used freely, and is often used by civilians for navigation purposes. It uses a constellation of between 24 and 32 Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, which allow GPS receivers to determine their current location, the time, and their velocity."
At least some people in the military have to be in on it.
This is aimed at Tom Bishop too.
Why then, was NASA created? if the military knew of this Flat Earth before NASA, then the government wouldn't have had anything to lose by just telling the people that the Earth is flat. If NASA found out the fact, the ok, NASA wants to keep it's funding and therefore make up these lies. If the military found out, they'd tell the government (it's Treason not too) and the government would have instead created the National Institute of Finding out What the Hell is Under This Disc/Rock/Thing (Or NIFWHUTSRT for short).
This alternative organisation could still gain money and funds to research things that FET doesn't know, for instance, what's under the rock, what keeps us stationed, what gravity is, how big the sun is. Etc etc etc.
FET sucks, you have to keep adapting your auxillary hypotheses just to perpetuate this claim that the Earth is flat. The problem is, you bring in these ad hoc changes far too much and it just lowers any original claim you make to beyond ridiculous. This is exactly why the paradigm died centuries ago.
