I consider any patriot a friend & teammate, so not about to go aggro over this topic I see as a PsyOp to distract & divide the 'truther community' that has taken to investigating "conspiracy theories".

That out of the way: I really get a extreme sense of intellectual dishonesty when dealing with Flat Earth Community(hereafter FEC) proponents; namely the rehashing of 3rd Party 'line of sight' anectdotal observations as a wholesale replacement for mathematics and [equal burden of proof] explanations/models that account for a gorillion phenomenon that what I assume [cognitive disonance] forces the quiet avoidance of.

Dishonest Anecdotal Obeservations

A staple of the FEC are diagrams depicting some mechanism proving Global Model wrong and in the rare instances math or formulae are present, they always are based on false premise or missing part of the mechanics. This is WITHOUT FAIL. I can't tell you the man-hours put into unraveling many of the brainteasers put forth that seem 'obvious' at first glance, but always conveniently leave out keystones that explain them.

• The one about [day/night would be 12hrs off every 6 months if the earth orbited the sun] immediately comes to mind.

• Here's another one depicting that airplanes - in support of the global psyop - fly the circumference of the flat earth instead of taking the obvious direct route
  • see below for the distances from Sydney Australia to London, Johannesburge, and Buenos Aires respectively
    • though London would appear to be the closest on a FE, it is actually the longest flight.

Another CIA PsyOp that American Taxpayers funded at $500 million, where under the front of 'deep sea mining' they were deep diving to recover a Russian K-129 submarine that sank in hopes of procuring nuclear tech, secrets & codes.

So the CIA hatched an audacious plan, Project Azorian, to retrieve the submarine. That would have been hard enough. But there was another challenge as well - it had to be done without the Russians knowing.

The spies needed to create a smokescreen so they pretended to be exploring the possibility of deep sea mining.

A PR campaign conveyed a determined effort to find manganese nodules. These potato-sized rocks lie scattered in the abyss, the great plains of the deep ocean.

There had to be a frontman - someone rich and eccentric enough to be plausible. The reclusive billionaire inventor Howard Hughes was perfect for the role.

But, covertly, the Hughes Glomar Explorer was also built with ingenious devices straight from a Bond film. The ship’s hull had enormous doors that could swing apart to create a “moon pool”, an underwater opening large enough to accommodate the Soviet sub and keep it hidden.
