One would think that the leftist media would step back and reconsider calling a defendant a domestic terrorist... Joy Reid.

But no, they double down with headlines like this...

"Kyle Rittenhouse trial was designed to protect white conservatives who kill"- MSNBC

Why do you think no one had been to Antarctica since Byrd? Has anyone been turned away from the ice wall while trying to reach the south pole?

I personally know a few guys that went to Antarctica for construction jobs.  Construction workers, not actors.

This is a website that prides itself on derision and cyber bullying.

It has come to my attention that we don't have a way to mockingly laugh at one another.

We have a grin. 

We have a smile.   

We have a cheesy smile 

But there is no laughter emoji.

I have taken the liberty of constructing such a thing. Please consider adding.

Hello everyone,
Have you ever noticed how UFOs clips resemble shooting stars ?
for example


 ...and here is a clip of a star


You just can't ignore this resemblance.

No, a hovering tictac does not look anything like a shooting star.  So yes I can ignore it.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: What happens when I fly west on the wiki map?

« on: June 05, 2021, 03:19:48 PM »

Suppose you are in an airplane flying at 50,000 feet at the equator on a clear night. The plane has a compass, a gyrocompass, gps, inertial navigation, and a device on each side for determining the direction of a star. You line up carefully so my direction is 270, the compass and gyrocompass say you are going west, and you sight on the north star out one side window and the southern cross from the other side at 90 degrees from your direction of travel (they will be visible just above the horizon). After 15 hours at 500 mph, 7500 mi west of your starting point.

Where will I be if:

I keep the southern cross at 90 degrees and ignore everything else?
I keep the north star at 90 degrees and ignore everything else?
If the southern cross and north star and southern cross are both kept at 90 degrees?

We know the north star is directly over the north pole. Where is the southern cross? Is it directly south of my starting point?

Now let;s try 2 planes flying opposite directions, one at 90 (directly east), the other at 270 (directly west). Both planes will be able to keep the north star at 90 degrees, but what happens to the southern cross? can they both keep it at 90 degrees as they travel? At 15,000 miles distance between the planes, what will be the angles of the north star and southern cross?

A diagram of where the two planes are and where the southern cross is would be nice.

RET predicts that both planes can keep north star and southern cross at 90 degrees, compass, gyro, inertial, and gps will all match up. What does FET predict?

RET makes no predictions about planes flying at 50,000 feet.

No one here will ever be in a plane flying at 50,000 feet.

What is the matter with you?

Several private jets fly at 51k feet.  Citation X for example.

Science & Alternative Science / Re: Are we going to just ignore the aliens, then?

« on: June 02, 2021, 04:23:21 PM »

What kind of a conspiracy website is this?

I was patiently waiting for someone else to broach the delicate subject of the US using the Covid distraction to casually mention that there are aliens and release some footage of them.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52457805

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what these things might be if not aliens?
Does anyone care that aliens seem to be visiting at will?
Have we all just accepted aliens a long time ago and this is just run of the mill alien business?

I know right...  This would have been front-page news every day if it happened 20 years ago.

No idea what they are, I had some sightings when I was young.   

Interstellar travelers? 
Time travelers? 
Interdimensional travelers?


All seem pretty far fetched but none more than the others.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Islam and Flat Earth

« on: May 24, 2021, 02:56:38 PM »

Alaikum Salaam.

Fact is undeniable; belief is personal.  I respect fact, and I respect everyone's belief. 

Think on this; whatever one believes, the word of God has always been transcribed by man, including the Prophet (Peace be upon Him). 

The Word of God may be infallible, but can we believe the word of man?

Or we could say that primitive man decided to explain natural phenomena as gods work and a way to not fear death.   It didn't take long to figure out that there is huge power in exploiting weak-minded believers.  Sex, money, and power.  The universal trifecta of religion.

Regardless of what might get taught in Islamic schools by teachers, the Islamic governments seem to be heavily invested in space programs of their own.

Saudi Arabia's Space Commission: https://saudispace.gov.sa/en/home/ Notably, two years ago the Saudi Arabsat television satellite was the payload aboard a SpaceX launch.

The Saudis don't do anything without checking their Muslim bosses.

Game, set, match.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: How to make an FE map with accurate distances

« on: May 12, 2021, 03:20:45 PM »

Your assumed distances are fallacious for a few reasons:

- People aren't walking across the oceans
- Planes use jet streams to reach far off locations
- The calculated of speed is s = d/t and requires a known distance. Distances are fundamentally in contention in this discussion

The translation to a FE model may be attributable to a number of possibilities. For example; if the outer edges of the FE celestial system are moving at a quicker speed over the Earth like the outer extremities of a record on a record player, then it stands that the upper atmosphere may be as well. A plane traveling in a high region of atmosphere may move faster in certain regions of the Earth than another.

And indeed, the winds are said to be anomalous in the South - https://wiki.tfes.org/Issues_in_Flight_Analysis

Please show a paper by a scientist that shows what you said to be true.

That page contain almost nothing except quotes and citations from contemporary sources. Feel free to go through them.

Yet not a single quote says anything that changes the fact that distances are known and flight times are predictable save one that talks about ground and taxi time.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: More UA and planes

« on: May 10, 2021, 06:17:19 PM »

I can only assume that as the air is being pushed up by the ground so the airplane is being pushed up by the air.

Yup, that makes sense, even though it seems like level flight it's still being pushed up.

Flat Earth Theory / More UA and planes

« on: May 10, 2021, 04:48:57 PM »

A while back I was questioning freefall experiences and Tom Bishop gave an answer that worked logically if UA was a thing.   2 current threads on UA got me thinking again and I have a new question. but first, some background as I think I know it.

The air is not pushed up by UA but by the ground compressing the air. A plane flies the same way in FE as it does in RE...   Lift created by the wings.   

New question...  if UA does not push the air and the plane flies via lift then why is everything in a plane not weightless? 

We are only stuck to the ground in UA because the ground is pushing up.  In a plane, there would be nothing to push up the floor and therefore we would experience weightlessness.

I'll ask for a third time; can you actually put up two quotes side by side, one from the geologist in the Wiki and another from another geologist and show a statement which is directly contradicted by another?

It appears that you can't do that. Since you can't do that I don't see what more there is to discuss on this.

That's a great rule, any time someone makes a claim they have to put up quotes from scientists.   Let's start with UA...  Go

You can contend that distances at sea are not known all you want, but that is completely wrong.  What are your qualifications for making a statement like that?  If your qualifications were sufficient then your contentions must be just for trolling purposes.  Without sufficient navigational experience & qualifications your contentions are irrelevant and should be considered shit posting.  I can make this statement from the point of view of an experienced navigator with lots of time at sea working on ships and as pilot in command of aircraft.  Celestial navigation works well when weather conditions are right but GPS works even better under just about all conditions.  Modern ships & airplanes use GPS and the positions and distances measured are very accurate.  If they were not then ships could and would run aground while navigating in foggy conditions.  I can well remember leaving San Francisco in very foggy conditions and navigating under the Golden Gate bridge in fog so thick that we didn't see the bridge until we were directly under it on a ship that was nearly 1000 feet long.  The bottom line is that there can be no doubt about the measured distances anywhere in the world.  Please supply any verifiable evidence you have that could refute my contentions. If those contentions can be verified then you would be doing a great service to the maritime industry that depends on very accurate positions and distances to operate huge ships.

Tom has been singing that same song as long as I have been here.  Silly as it is, he uses it to disarm any and all threads that talk about how simple a map is to make with known distances.

Let's not forget his famous "The distance from New York to Paris is not known"

Let's agree that this is a ground based communication system like LORAN and that the earth is flat. Then we can talk about the method of communication.

Since I can see Starlink sats with my own eyes I must disagree.

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Biden's Broadband plan

« on: April 21, 2021, 03:24:31 PM »

I saw an article this morning about the planned rural broadband plan, a great idea but dated. Cost of 150 Billion. When StarLink is in full deployment, there will be no need to run fiber everywhere.


According to a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) December 2018 Internet Access Services report, 44 million households do not even have a standard broadband connection, either because they do not have access or can't afford it.

22 billion would buy every one of them a Starlink package and the government could help out with the monthly nut for those needing it. Of course, not all of them need the handout but some do.

Boom, saved 128 billion minimum.

Thoughts?
