FAQ/Why FE Exists

Why would FE Groups and FE Believers exist?

If you've not researched FE, you might find the topic laughable or insane to believe. I've heard many claim that FE is just another "psyop" or even described as some sort of ridiculous religious cult.

According to the wikipedia, Flat Earth is an archaic and scientifically disproven conception of the Earth's shape as a plane or disk, and claims that many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat-Earth cosmography in the 6th century BC.

However, flat earth was known to all the ancient civilizations, and it was taught in schools all the way to the 20th century.

It wasn't until about 14 century the Jesuits infiltrated the Church, shortly after, the globe earth was being adopted by the Catholic church, and by the beginning of the 20th century it was being forced into schools, by means of "bullying" schools into teaching all points of view. (See an example of this in the Sep 06 1874 Newspaper clip below)

It seemed like teaching the globe was considered taboo not long ago, in the year 1900, a man was almost thrown in to jail for teaching the round earth theory. (See the example in the Apr 21, 1900 Newspaper clip below)

Flat-Earth Society

In the early 1900's the Flat-Earth Society was a legitimate group, including members that were royalty. Today, the Flat-Earth Society has been sabotaged by the government to make flat earth researchers seem crazy by making half-truths mixed with nonsense. In June 2013 Oboma said "There's No Time For A Meeting Of The Flat-Earth Society", another way to make fun of FE, or to make those who are researching FE aware of the Flat-Earth Society which is will mislead them.

Censorship

Eventually both points of view were slowly exchanged with one point of view - the globe model. And teaching the FE model was eventually banned. I guess bullying worked well. (See YouTube cracking down Newspaper clip below)

Modernly big tech actively "shadow-bans" FE content. YouTube hides videos that discuss FE in a scientific way, they promote videos that talk against FE. Search engines now will show you "Fact Checkers" for any search query for FE. (See Keeping us "safe" from scientific knowledge web search below)

It tells you something when the Government actively plays both sides: They censor information and they make fake societies to discourage people from learning the truth.
