In this episode we deep dive into the mother of all conspiracy theories, the Flat Earth where science denial alone is nowhere near enough cognitive dissidence to keep the belief alive.

This is a deep state cover up that predates the very actors that are covering it up. It goes back at the very least 2500 years and has been perpetuated and hidden from the world by quite literally billions of people.

It is very easy to understand how pre-seafaring civilisations believed the Earth was flat. You could be forgiven for assuming that flat earth theory is ancient and it is round earth theory that is new but you would be wrong. The flat earth movement is only a couple of hundred years old.

From early antiquity onwards as sailors moved away from hugging the coastline to open sea the horrible truth of a spherical Earth became hard to deny as previously unseen land masses would begin rising out of the horizon upon approach.

We will delve into the history of not only Flat Earth Theory but the great thinkers who first figured out our planet is an oblate spheroid flattened at the poles like, Pythagoras, Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, Eratosthenes, Posidonius, Cicero, Pliny the Elder, Claudius Ptolemy, Strabo, Seneca, Bishop Isidore of Seville and The Venerable Bede.

We’ll also look at the first written accounts of OG Flat Earthers like Lactantius and Cosmas the Monk to Illustrious modern day philosophers like former cricketer Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff.

But of course it really becomes a movement of outright science denial with the arrival of Patent Medicine seller and self-proclaimed curer of old age, Samuel Rowbotham in the 19th century with his dubious experiments on the Bedford canal in Cambridgeshire, England.

Rowbotham would light the way for followers like John Hampden, William Carpenter, David Wardlaw Scott and precursor to the modern televangelists Wilbur Voliva.

Then just as the idea was dying out, Dover sign writer Samuel Shentoncreates the International Flat Earth Research Society. Taking a step away from scripture and into full blown conspiracy theory.

The tinfoil hat wearing likes of Charles Johnson and Daniel Shenton will then bring this ludicrous movement into the 21st century. Primed and ready for some truly despicable swindlers to infiltrate this seemingly harmless pastime for dummies and turn this ironically circular thinking into one of the most pernicious conspiracy theories going.

Prosperity Gospel Tax Free Root of All Evil

In this episode we will investigate the worst stain on the legacy of Jesus Chri$t, Prosperity Gospel. Be prepared to be amazed by the lengths at which these con artists will go to crowbar outrageous greed into Chri$tian doctrine and plumb the depths of human exploitation.

In a nutshell it’s the idea that ‘their god’ rewards them with wealth and health right here on Earth in this lifetime. Not so bad you say. Well the implication and sometimes outright accusation is that if you are sick or poor it’s because you are a loathsome sinner.

These false prophets promote the idea that you should see and feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. You should expect to see miracles like, prophecies, faith healings and idiots speaking in tongues. This is faith for people who need some kind of tangible albeit dubious evidence to support their belief.

Welcome to Prosperity Gospel where Jesus Chri$t of Nazareth is your own personal Vegas slot machine.

Let’s begin a journey together where these preachers aren’t just driving an exotic sports car on the highway to Hell, they’re piloting a convoy of private jets filled with their entire congregation.

In this episode we pick up where we left off in the last episode, ‘New Flat World Order 1 Flimflammers Charlatans and Snake Oil’ with Flat Earth Theory’s introduction to the interwebs in the naughties through Daniel Shenton.

Unlike 19th century pseudoscience quack Samuel Rowbotham, actual research and experimentation or at least the illusion of it seem to be of no interest to Shenton and his followers.

We will also deep dive into the most egregious and objectionable of the current flat earth peddlers, YouTube Yoga instructor Eric Dubay, head of the International Flat Earth Research Society and his, ‘200 Proofs Earth is Not a Spinning Ball.’

I will focus on his blatant dishonesty and the attitude he has towards his reader. You won’t be surprised by his complete and utter lack of even the most basic scientific knowledge. You will be surprised by just how much he thinks he can hide that ignorance from his intellectually limited audience.

From making ridiculous claims like he can see right through the ‘transparent’ moon to fraudulently misrepresenting scientific papers he didn’t understand. With a straight face and no shame he proudly announces he does not know the difference between a rocket and a jet or how they work and yet he’s the one to expose the Flat Earth truth!

But Dubay is not the only science denying history whitewashing reprobate we investigate. There’s also Tila Tequila. Remember her? No, didn’t think so.

Or what about Noel Hadley who believes Lucille Ball was a witch who’s ancestry can be traced back to the Salem Witch Trials?

He also believes the atomic bomb is a hoax. The great American pastime of Baseball is actually a Freemason ritual. The 1893 Chicago World Fair was a hoax to re-write the true history of Chicago actually being a city that was established hundreds of years before European settlement. Aids, malaria, polio and Covid 19 are all hoaxes. The Manson family, Nancy Kerrigan and Lorena Bobbitt cases were all hoaxes. Being a Flerfer is just the tip of the iceberg that sunk the Titanic with this guy, which he also believes is a hoax.

When you hear about these outrageous pundits of Flat Earth Theory you’ll think you’re being Punk’d. Speaking of which we’ll also talk about former cast member of that MTV show, Owen Benjamin.

We learn about the dubious relationship daredevil Mad Mike Hughes had with the community and what the young Earth creationists over at Answers in Genesis think of the whole thing.

And of course we can’t forget star of the Netflix Documentary, Behind the Curve, Mark Sargent in this Dunning Kruger effect on steroids filled episode.
