just to .. yes... just to what? Who would gain from a globe shaped Earth instead of a flat?
First I will address the "millions" statement. That is your number. You feel that millions would have to "in on it". I personally believe it would be in the thousands, not millions.
Now for the why and what's the purpose. Well let me ask you something...
What's the purpose for telling a child about a magical fat guy in a red suit that travels about the world distributing gifts to "good" kids?
What's the purpose of telling a child about a magical fairy that comes in the night and takes your tooth and leaves a quarter.
What's the purpose of telling a child about a magical bunny that leaves you candy and chocolates in a plastic basket bought from Wal-Mart?
So we are willing to lie to our own children. For what?
If we are so easily willing to lie to our children then we can easily lie to each other as adults.
Where do the lies start and end?
If NASA faked one, they faked them all.
If one astronaut lied, they all lied.
If one news report was faked and staged, they all are.
If one politician lies, they all do.
Do you have a lie radar?
Would you have gone on believing in Santa if no one ever told you differently?
Again I ask, where do the lies end and begin? The elitists of our world did not get there by being honest.
And don't forget, this is an open forum that anyone can join. This isn't a society or a governed body. You're here and didn't sign a membership. Neither did we.
And not all information in the FAQ's or any website is the consensus among the entire FE community.
Just like the mass media, lies and misdirection are injected into the discussion. It's no different here.
So here is my why.... there are billions of us and only a few thousand of them. If we knew the real truths and we all woke up to how we are truly slaves then we would kill them, then kill each other.
FE and truth isn't for everyone. Knowledge is power and we all can't be powerful. Someone has to work right?
Be good or Santa won't come visit you....
Start there and you will begin to understand the "why".
