Mic has an article on the upcoming Solar Eclipse across the USA, focusing on one particular group of observers: Flat Earthers, who believe that the sun and moon rotate around each other above the Earth's surface.

...astronomers (both professional and amateur) aren't the only groups excited for this once-in-a-lifetime event. Another, more controversial community believes the upcoming eclipse could provide overwhelming evidence to support their cause. These people are flat Earthers, and they believe the solar eclipse will prove once and for all the Earth is not a sphere.

The article describes some of the proposed arguments from the newly resurgent, and apparently quite serious, flat earth community.

    There will always be people who are ignorant. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.

    Well, let's take a look at this statement:

    Flowers believes that people at the top of all religions and organizations, including the CIA, are Satan worshippers. “It’s a gigantic cult of witches, warlocks, sorcerers, demon people controlling our planet,” he said. He believes they are trying to hide evidence that the Earth is flat and that it’s his duty to get the truth out.

    On the surface this sounds ridiculous, until you do a bit of research and realize that the Church of Satan was founded a couple of blocks away from Burning Man (which is itself a reference to witchcraft, Walpurgisnacht, the Wicker Man, and burning of witches), and right next to the US Army base which is responsible for inventing their Psychological Warfare (PSYOPS). The Church of Satan became more showbiz than serious so one of their top priests, so US Army PSYOPS officer, Michael Aquino (who wrote Mind War), founded the Temple of Set. Claiming to have been contacted by the same satanic deity overseeing the Church of Satan he was "given revelation" producing "The Book of the Going Forth by Night" - a reference to the ancient Egyptian "Going forth of X" from the Book of the Dead, et. al. Set being the evil god of the Egyptian pantheon, they call themselves Setians. A culture of satanism is strong in the PSYOPS divisions still today.

    The army PSYOPS base came under scrutiny when it was claimed that child sex trafficking and strange burials and exhumations were going on in the nearby cemetery. The army base quickly burned down erasing any possibility of inquiry by the courts handling the allegations. But surely are these just coincidences. Would world rulers really practice Satanism? [youtube.com] Well, that video is just silly, it's not like infamous pedophile Jimmy Savile was Knighted by the Queen or anything, oh wait, he was, hmm... Well, we can't expect MI6 to do background checks on Everyone associated with the royal family, eh? Let's ignore that for now. Did you know that the Lucis Trust, formerly "the Lucifer Trust", is the publishing company for the United Nations who's other published works on black and white magic are considered the Luicferian spiritual underpinning of the United Nations? [bibliotecapleyades.net] Their "interfaith dialog" means to subjugate all religions under a single umbrella of Luciferianism -- which is slated to be the religion of the New World Order? [youtube.com] Why, you can even read "what Lucifer means to us" on their web page.

    Now, I could go on, for quite some time, and detail the facts known of secret societies and their connections to government and Luciferian rituals, such as those seen at Bohemian Grove. [youtube.com] But since I like tech, and actual scientific research what's more interesting is the God of Death at CERN, and their Satanic Rituals and mock human sacrifice "pranks". [youtube.com]

    It makes me wonder just what I ought to believe about the state of our technology.

    The most important thing to remember though is that these "dumb flat Earth people" are just "tinfoil hat wearing nutjobs". They can't possibly know anything of value. Of course, neither can you "skeptics", since unlike the flat earth "morons", you "skeptics" rarely ever do any research but instead worship at the altar of science and believe whatever crap MSM's scientific idols regurgitate. If anyone says, "Hey, medical science is being censored", [youtube.com] "skeptics" will remain skeptical and posit that it's impossible because someone would write a memo about it and try to speak up... They won't actually look at evidence presented showing the truth of the situation. When they finally realize that medical science is being censored the skeptic will claim that no other branch of science such as astronomy, cosmology, geology, etc. could be full of BS, even though the replication crisis proves this to be the case, [wikipedia.org] and there are countless examples of research being censored.

    Skeptics will always continue to dismiss what they assume to be insane simply because it disagrees with their world view and, like TFA, find individual examples to paint entire Truther Movements [youtube.com] as drivel not worth serious consideration. Thus the "true skeptic" shall remain perpetually deceived, forever skeptical and never willing to leave their comfort zone, but happy to slander others as "anti-scientific". They shall remain the perfect prey for the satanists who openly rule the technology and governments that control their lives. Skeptics firmly believe the curvature of the earth exists without ever having seen it themselves, and can't be troubled to research how tech actually gets made in Silicon Valley [youtube.com], because someone claimed that it's old world Satanist pedophiles financing a buffer zone of New-Age Luciferians, and trying to rule the world through double speak and deceptions.

    TL;DR: It doesn't matter if this is a "screed" or not, you're not going to do any research anyway. Say whatever you like, believe whatever you want, you've taken the blue pill. Just remember: You had the chance to take the red one.
