Flat Earth Investigations / Re: What is the true map of the earth?
« Last post by Tom Bishop on Today at 03:22:31 AM »
Rowbotham's original society solved the sinking ship. Lady Blount's society collected the professional surveyor and railway proofs. This specific society's contribution to Flat Earth has been the celestial model and the gravitational model. Progress was made on these subjects because they are things we can see and test. And with that, we have basically been done here with our current constraints. If you ask me what is happening on earth thousands of miles away, there will be less research there. The total world model is a topic for the next generation of FE to figure out.

I estimate that it will take twenty or thirty more years for the wider Flat Earth community to actually figure out and perform and repeat the necessary tests that check all the boxes.

At the moment among the Monopole supporters there seems to be some division on whether there are faster winds in the south or whether the planes are actually following the straight line Flat Earth Azimuthal path to their destination, as evidenced by emergency landings.

Someday they might figure it out, but it's not going to be anytime soon.

Flat Earth Investigations / What is the true map of the earth?

There are north-centered, bipolar, etc. map models. But what is the real map? What are the pros and cons of each?

Very impressive, Trump now has even more paper wealth that he can't realize or use in any meaningful way.

I have nothing to say in the face of such a thorough rebuttal. Anyway, so much winning:

The fact that Secret Service protection for former presidents is an entirely optional service that the protectee is free to decline is enough to prove that this is wrong, and even if it weren't, a little bit of common sense will quickly point out the flaws in that theory.

Is it optional or is it "optional"?

Do the Secret Service agents monitor their protectee's phone or intercept and read everything they write down?

Yes.

Do they suddenly rush in and get uncomfortably close so they can eavesdrop if their protectee is whispering in someone else's ear?

Whispering is not a valid method of information concealment, so why does it matter?

Their job is to protect VIPs, not to monitor or control them.

That's where you're wrong, kiddo.

Even if Trump were sentenced to "prison" it would likely end up a form of house arrest. Trump isn't going to go to some random state or federal prison...Allowing a rambling old man who knows more national security information than most people into a prison is ridiculous.

I agree, but nevertheless, this would be impossible with the Secret Service in their current form. Legislation would be needed to either strip convicted felons of their Secret Service protection and let another agency handle the imprisonment or expand the Secret Service's functions to include providing custody of such a prisoner. I don't think anyone who matters was ever seriously suggesting we should just fling Trump into the general population of any given prison and let him fend for himself, which is exactly why the cries of "they want Trump murdered!" are so disingenuous.

This is what Action80 is talking about, if anyone's wondering and doesn't want to click his link. There's no one single case against Powell, there's no mention of this case being considered "frivolous," and I don't really think it's all that big of a deal whether or not Powell ends up being "disciplined" by the Texas Bar at all.

The Secret Service monitoring a person to the point that they are effectively a prisoner is already what they do.

The Secret Service ensure Trump can't reveal things to people just as much as they protect him.

The fact that Secret Service protection for former presidents is an entirely optional service that the protectee is free to decline is enough to prove that this is wrong, and even if it weren't, a little bit of common sense will quickly point out the flaws in that theory. Do the Secret Service agents monitor their protectee's phone or intercept and read everything they write down? Do they suddenly rush in and get uncomfortably close so they can eavesdrop if their protectee is whispering in someone else's ear? Of course not. Their job is to protect VIPs, not to monitor or control them. I would go so far as to speculate that agents are strongly encouraged to avoid listening too closely to what their protectee is saying to other people so as to be seen as more discreet and trustworthy, although that's just my instinct of what the culture of the agency is probably like.

Thanks for highlighting the CDC was attempting to cover up the reports.
