Motive for RE conspiracy

So if there is a conspiracy, there must be a pretty significant motive for this to occur.  Who benefits from the RE conspiracy theory that all of us . . . brainwashed I think is the term Tom Bishop uses, believe is true?

You'd think they'd make more money by just revealing that the world is flat. Because it's gotta cost trillions for a fake space program and all that.

the conspiracy is a paranoid fantasy, nothing more, one of hundreds from 9 11 is faked to the CIA killed JFK.

You see, by adding a "conspiracy" they can ignore all scientific evidence against them.

I don't know why they bother. Must be weird walking round, wondering if that police officer is a nasa spy, or if my next door neighbour is going to kill me if I discover too much about the flat earth. lol

Do they hold meetings where they tell their new recruits, "I hate to break it to you, but the world is actually flat. You've been living a lie your entire life because we at NASA are part of a conspiracy to convince everyone that the world is round for some unknown reason."

The FET just might be a bit more realistic if they didn't throw in some delusional idea about a conspiracy. Of course, then they'd be forced to admit to a round Earth.

although the flat earther's mostly talk about nasa and branson for some reason, it also has to involve the russian govt, indian govt and chinese govt. strangly, even the nazi govt who developed rockets, and certainly believed in a round earth. So while the russians and americans were involved in a cold war at the same instant they secretly were together in a conspiracy together. And when Hitler and the russians and the us and uk were in a life and death struggle, even so they were all coconspirators in the shape of the earth. I wonder why when he was going to die he didn't mention this in his final political testement to piss off his enemies lol.

This is a paranoid fantasy, nothing more. It has no reality in the real world.

It also assumes every scientist is too scared to admit that the earth is flat, or is too stupid to notice.

Of course the conspiracy involves other governments. Think about this: there hasn't been a major war in over 60 years! Why? Political unification. Notice how the whole cold war thing ended without a fight?  The Russian space program and nasa were ultimately merely aiding and abetting one another in order to keep political power over their own countries. When the US lost the cold war it made more sense for the Soviet Union to pretend that they lost it. Because the US had basically gone Soviet by then.

I just looked up Lockheed Martin's financial statement from last year. Probably the whole statement is bs, but assuming there is some truth to it: they claim to have made $43 billion in revenue and to have spent $40 billion of it for a profit of $3B. Now, do you really, really think that LMT spent $40B last year? On what? Don't you think it is more likely the money was just funneled directly to Wall Street?

Engines? Computers? Materials?

You know Lockheed Martin make planes, missiles etc?

I know that's what they claim they make. They supposedly built enough weapons to prepare to fight WWIII -- but it turns out the US is barely equipped to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. Imagine if the US had to fight a war against a real enemy. You know, one with an army. I'm quite confident that little red button at the White House is connected to nothing. Remember how when after the Soviet Union "fell" internal documents revealed that much of the Soviet weaponry was fake? They would pretend to transport missles around that weren't real just so the US would THINK they were better armed than they really were. Well, guess whaaaaaaat? You think both sides weren't bluffing?

Remember Rumsfeld's "light armor, light war" idea? Hmmmm.... What could possibly have been the motivation behind THAT?

Lockheed Martin also claims to do much of the work for NASA. You know that little space agency that has accomplished so muuuuuuuch over the past 40 years? Exactly what have they been spending all those billions every year on? Most people who work at "nasa" aren't employed by the government, they are employed by contractors like LMT. Why is this? Could it be so that the money gets transferred directly into the hands of Wall Str... I mean the private sector?  

BTW, Raytheon claimed to spend $20B last year. What if we added up all the money spent by all the aerospace/defense companies (interesting how aerospace/defense are a joint category of stocks!) every single year for the past 30 years, do you think it would add up to a very big number? Do you think all that spending has manifested itself in actual output by the military and space exploration programs over that time period -- or do you think rather--just perhaps-- all that money has something more to do with why employees at Goldman Sachs get paid so much and why the cost of real estate in Manhattan is so damn high?
