The US Government has the full force of the law, the compliance of media, of ISPs, of foreign nations, and near limitless finances to shut things down. What makes you think they couldn't keep something a secret if they really wanted to?

Watergate?
That was a deliberate leak by the inner circle to remove Nixon.

Not Flat. Happy to prove this, if you ask me.

Nearly all flat earthers agree the earth is not a globe.

Nearly?

High altitude balloons.
Link to design and operators please.

Top secret, nothing on Google.

A leaked Top Secret document won't get very far on the internet. The US Government has the full force of the law, the compliance of media, of ISPs, of foreign nations, and near limitless finances to shut things down. What makes you think they couldn't keep something a secret if they really wanted to?
How do GPS balloons work with a precise orbit?

If the North Pole is all around the edge, how do you explain direct northern hemisphere flights? They would take like 3 times longer and fly over completely different terrain on your map.

Then why don’t they take down all of the YouTube videos “proving” the earth is flat? It would be easy to do so iof they can keep all of the other shit secret, as you say.

Also, if you haven't heard of bronies before, that reflects poorly on your understanding of the world that surrounds you. It's practically impossible not to know about them.

I would consider it. I've tried it elsewhere and I think it's fun.

It's not that hard when debating some goofball who doesn't really know anything but feels very confident in mocking and throwing insults because he knows he is backed by mainstream science.

The problem arises however, when debating an astute REer. I feel I can hold my own for a while, but if they persist I have to resort to ever more flimsy arguments. 

In short, when debating a persistent and knowledgeable REer I don't feel I can win.

I tend to ignore questions like these.

Then you're not engaging in honest, in-depth debate.

How can you expect to be taken seriously when you have no model, no good genuine explanations, and no answers to the most basic of questions?

Most of your answers are inquisitive, may you please send me more so I can answer them?

It would be of a different location then they (the government) says it is.
