I would ask: What's the simplest explanation: That all of the governments and now most of the private corporations of the world are spending trillions of dollars to maintain a hoax and of the hundreds of thousands of people involved in this cover up, not a single person has leaked so much as a single document/photo/video outing the conspiracy, or that the earth really is round as almost all of our technology, science and day to day function relies on?
Actually the simplest explanation is that the government could keep a secret if it really wanted to. They sure seem perfectly capable of conducting large compartmentalized projects involving tens of thousands of people without everyone needing Top Secret clearance, and also keeping said Top Secret technologies off of the internet. Try to find some designs for the stealth bombers sometime.
Yeah, just the government. And airline companies. And shipping companies. And broadcast network companies. And probably most geologists, astronomers, and meteorologists. Quite a few aerospace companies. And, and, and...
I almost wish it was true just based of how impressive it would be.
They are merely mistaken.
Yup, they did well with the whole Snowden thing.
The Obama administration is allowing it to happen, for whatever agenda. The government reached out to the media and asked them not to talk about certain subjects, or talk about certain countries by name. Anyone who publishes something by Snowden is breaking the law. The government has plenty of people with guns and gravels willing to enforce that law. They could have easily raided the offices of the journalists and arrested them for breaking the law and seized the assets of the news organization if they really wanted to. In fact, they could legally assassinate Snowden and anyone who talked about it under some of the old timey treason laws.
If it wasn't for the subject matter that the liberal administration agreed with, a whistleblow against a rogue agency, the matter would have been enforced. The NSA complained loudly that they felt Obama turned his back on them when it happened. If the subject were instead, NAVY Rail Gun blueprints, the government wouldn't just let people publish that.
Sure, sure, but the shape of the earth has been known for many centuries.
Sure, I know it was the terrible Illuminati, Freemasons, Zionists, the Brotherhood or . . Who have I left out?
But, there are an almost innumerable number of jobs that implicitly depend of the Globe. Many jobs that would not exist, or would at least be very different if the earth were flat.
These go all the way from
those directly involved in the space industry
aircraft who most certainly know the earth's shape, especially as it drastically affects the lengths of many routes,
ships navigators who use marine gyrocompasses (which rely on a rotating earth), and whose length of routes would be greatly changed,
surveyors who use gyro-theodolites for underground direction determination,
all those in the satellite TV and satellite communication industry, etc
down to those using satellite data which simply could not be feasibly collected any other way.
Yes, this conspiracy would have to be far wider than are prepared to admit.
