According to Southern California Public Radio,
"Mad" Mike Hughes, limousine driver and self-proclaimed flat-Earther, announced that he had to delay his plan to launch himself 1,800 feet high in a rocket of his own making. The launch, which he has billed as a crucial first step toward ultimately photographing our disc-world from space, had been scheduled for Saturday — before the Bureau of Land Management got wind of the plan and barred him from using public land in Amboy, Calif.
Also, the rocket launcher he had built out of a used motor home "broke down in the driveway" on Wednesday, according to Hughes. He said in a YouTube announcement that they'd eventually gotten the launcher fixed — but the small matter of federal permission proved a more serious stumbling block (for now).

There are real conspiracies being hatched to deceive and enslave the public.
Some conspiracy 'theories' are published by government agencies to add to the 'theories' out there, some so bizarre that no one should believe them; others so in-your-face that you cannot deny them. That is done to discredit all conspiracy research. A healthy dose of lies throws off the public and they don't know who or what to believe.
Conspiracies exist and if you are reading this then you are a victim. It is only a matter of time before you realize you've been played. Hope that you 'wake up' before you die.
