Flat Earth Theory / Re: The Great NASA Conspiracy

They aren't, they just know things you don't and possess skills that you lack.
I can't tell if this is supposed to be a veiled insult. Anyways, just telling me "no you're wrong" isn't terribly likely to convince me.
"The Turk" fooled people for over a hundred years. The Fatima illusion (aka "miracle of the sun") also continues to beguile people. As do space agency rocket launches, whose setup is not unlike Copperfield's vanishing of the Statue of Liberty.
So a hoax machine (which only fooled people for 50 years) is analogous to a worldwide conspiracy? An unexplained phenomenon is? How do these things demonstrate the cooperation and foresight necessary to secretly rule the world?
By the way, why would anyone possibly want to secretly rule the world? It seems to me that ruling a country would be sufficient for any ego.
Do you think they give all information to all people along with a pamphlet to take home to the fam? Does the guy working the popcorn stand in the theater also know how all the performing magician's tricks are done?
One thing you seem to be completely unaware of is the compartmentalized nature of information, and how certain secrets are treated as the "holy of holies" which only a select few will ever be allowed to see the workings of.
Compartmentalization works for keeping secrets. But your conspiracy needs to actively rule the world, not just stay in hiding. To do that it needs to influence a lot of decisions, all of which is a potential source if evidence.
