Why Most Humans Are Domesticated Animals
Today, most adults are very irresponsible and so ignorant (lacking in knowledge) that they can barely tell the difference between what is “real” and what is “fantasy”.
The proof that most adults are irresponsible can be seen when you look at the current state of the global economy.
Most people these days would rather watch sports or shows on TV than learn about their natural rights and how the financial, legal, and political system work.
Because of their lack of knowledge in these subjects, it was not too hard for the Controllers of the New World Order (NWO) to brainwash these people to obey their authorities and Nazi-type government.
Did You Know You are a Corporate Slave?
In the USA, most of us are so brainwashed that we actually think we live in a “free” country. The unwanted truth is that roughly 98 percent of the American people are “living” under the umbrella of the corporation called the United States, Inc.
This is why Americans are not called “American Citizens” anymore. Instead, they are called “United States Citizens”.
A Citizen of the United States is a citizen of a corporation or a “ship”. Hence the term, citizenship or “citizen-ship”.
Because of this, a United States Citizen has no natural rights. If you do not live in the United States, your government most likely sold you out to the Controllers and their corporations too.
This is because most countries of the world are controlled by the Western legal system, which is not a system based on justice but a system based on commerce.
When you agree to be a United States Citizen, you consent to be an artificial person, which is defined in Black’s Law Dictionary as a corporation. As an artificial person (corporation), you do NOT have natural rights.
However, you can be given privileges by the government. Furthermore, you are bound to the acts and statutes (rules and codes) of the corporation called the United States.
Why Stealth Slavery is the Best Form of Slavery
Today, the Controllers of the NWO and their minions have nearly perfected their system of slavery.
Instead of forcing people to work for them without pay, the Controllers domesticated people to think that they are free, and then trick those people to work for the Controllers using contracts to bind them to the terms and conditions of those contracts. They also used unlawful tax “laws” to scare people to pay them money.
The best form of slavery is stealth slavery, which is a form of slavery that tricks people to think they are free. This allows the people in power to control the public with little resistance.
Stealth slavery is the best form of slavery, because when the masters can trick the slaves to think that they are free, they get more productivity and creativity out of the slaves.
The increase of productivity and creativity of the slaves can generate more wealth, allowing the masters to collect more tax to finance their slavery system.
Evidence That Most People are Domesticated “Animals”
In the USA, most Americans have no clue that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is a foreign agency. To be more accurate, the IRS is a foreign private corporation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and is the private “army” for the Federal Reserve (Fed).
For evidence of this, read these two empowering articles titled “Federal Tax Case Shows Evidence the U.S. Legal System is a Fraud” and “Did You Know the IRS and the Fed are Private Corporations? Plus, Exposing the Secrets of the Western Court System.”
Most, if not all, of the taxes collected by IRS are given to the Federal Reserve and then are turned over to the IMF, an international banking organization controlled by the United Nations (UN).
The UN is a front for the Crown of England, which is controlled by the Crown Temple (City of London) and the Vatican. In simple words, every time you pay the IRS, you finance your own slavery.
Today, the Controllers of the NWO are heavily investing in artificial intelligence (AI), so that they
The Flat Earth Theory
The Earth Is Flat
A couple of weeks ago I thought this was a ludicrous thought and so when Mark Sargent (Flat Earth researcher) was on Canary Cry Radio, well I was sort of disappointed they weren't going to talk about something relevant. Thankfully, I decided to download the episode on my archaic MP3 player and listened to it at work that day. I haven't been the same since.
As of now after further research answering the initial doubts I had, I'm convinced we are living on a flat earth! It's actually obvious when you finally break free of the matrix New World Order group think. And, yes this is another conspiracy from the powers to be. This could be considered the biggest hoax they have hoodwinked the people into yet (which is saying something).
Now, I'm not going to go over every single argument here in this simple blog post, and I'm not going to begin a flat earth blog to begin to become a leader in the field. I do want to give a layman's approach to this deception we have been fooled into believing. There's some very good research you can find on YouTube on this, as well as websites and interviews. Just steer clear of the dis-info agents called the Flat Earth Research society. They are sort of like the Alex Jones of the New World Order conspiracy.
Some notable leading researchers that I've found are Eric Dubay, Mark Sargent, and Math Bolylan. These guys know their stuff and think for themselves.
So, how does a plane flying from New York to London end up having the same times either way they fly? Whether flying east or west, the plane takes the same time to get there?! The plane takes the same time to get to it's destination whether flying from New York to London, or from London back to New York! Right there, this proves that there is no ball earth spinning at a 1000mph eastward as the scientific elite tell us!
Why can a boat see a lighthouse from the sea 80 miles away? The curvature of the earth wouldn't allow a lighthouse to be seen that far away, but it can be seen on a flat earth. Every mile away an object is it would go lower and lower, to the amount of about a half a mile below the curved horizon from 80 miles away, but the lighthouse is only around 200 ft high! Explain that one.
Let me just start talking to you here: NASA is a satanic organization created by the Nazi's that came over after WW2, Freemasons run NASA and are the astronauts, there are no planets spinning around the sun – they are close in stars and lights, the sun and the moon are circling around the top of the flat earth from only about 3,000 miles away and they are the same size, there are no satellites, there is no real pictures of the earth that are not manipulated- and only one that is used in all the books from Apollo missions window!, Antarctica surrounds the disc shaped earth's edges, the Bible talks about the earth being fixed and unmovable, the Bible calls the earth a circle (not a ball), the horizon is always eye level no matter how far you go up into the air (20,000 ft. a non-government camera has been), ancient cultures all thought the earth was flat until 500 years ago when Jesuit Priest said otherwise (Jesuits!), Antarctica is off limits to private industry although it has vast resources, no private explorer can explore the North Pole or Antarctica, and on and on....
There is so much evidence that the earth is actually flat it's unbelievable. I learned about the hollow earth theory before a couple years ago, and I actually thought there was something to that, but it didn't resonate with my soul like this Flat Earth thought has. Spiritually, this reality of a flat earth settles in my soul and being with the up-most peace and reality. It's as if I knew it all along. I mean, flying around on a spinning earth in some vast universe just never clicked with me. From all observance, we are stationary

Tim Cook: We're Seeing 'Extreme Conditions Unlike Anything We've Experienced Before' in the Global Economy
What’s keeping the CEO of a company that just reported the most profitable quarter in history up at night?
For Apple Inc.'s Tim Cook, it’s the “economic challenges all over the world.”
“This is a huge accomplishment for our company especially given the turbulent world around us,” said Cook, immediately after running through the company’s quarterly financial highlights on a conference call.
Ever since the surprise devaluation of the Chinese yuan in August, the potential for a hard landing in the world’s second-largest economy has been front-of-mind for investors.
Cook did nothing to assuage those concerns. While pointing out that Apple had been performing quite well in China last summer—unlike some other firms—he suggested that the forward outlook was not nearly as bright.
“Notwithstanding these record results, we began to see some signs of economic softness in Greater China earlier this month, most notably in Hong Kong,” he said.
Meanwhile, other major markets for Apple, including Brazil, Russia, Japan, Canada, southeast Asia, Turkey, and the eurozone have been roiled by slow economic growth, the downturn in commodities prices, and weakening currencies.
“Our results are particularly impressive given the challenging global macroeconomic environment,” said Cook. “We’re seeing extreme conditions unlike anything we’ve experienced before just about everywhere we look.”
For Apple, which generates roughly two-thirds of its revenues outside the U.S., this is no small matter. The lofty U.S. greenback crimped revenues received abroad, with Cook specifically citing the adverse effect of weakness in the British pound, euro, Canadian dollar, Aussie dollar, Mexican peso, Turkish lira, Brazilian real, and Russian ruble.
According to Cook, these foreign exchange fluctuations shaved 15 percent off revenues the tech powerhouse earned abroad relative to its fiscal fourth quarter.
Pope Francis will be the first pope to star in a feature film
(Franco Origlia/Getty Images)
Pope Francis is set to become the first pope to star in a feature film, playing himself in the forthcoming movie Beyond the Sun. Despite the name, this isn't a sci-fi epic, but a religious movie based on the gospels. According to Variety, the film will be a "family adventure," with Pope Francis asking filmmakers to create a movie communicating Jesus' message to children. All profits from the film will be donated to children's charities in Argentina — the Pope's home country.
"THIS IS NOT JUST A MOVIE FOR US, IT’S A MESSAGE."
The films is being financed and produced by Ambi Pictures, with co-founder Andrea Iervolino saying in a statement: "Our excitement and gratitude toward His Holiness, Pope Francis participating in this film is beyond words. This is not just a movie for us, it’s a message, and who better to have on your side to deliver an important societal and spiritual message than the Pope."
And while Pope Francis may be the first actual pope to appear in a film, he'll be following a long and varied tradition of on-screen popery. These include serious, solemn fare, such 2009's Pope Joan (about the legendary female pope of the same name), and the 1983 film The Scarlet and The Black about the Nazi occupation of Rome. But also more comedic takes, such as 2011's We Have A Pope, a King's Speech-esque comedy about a reluctant pope, and 1991's The Pope Must Die, which stars Robbie Coltrane (aka Hagrid) as the accidentally-elected Pope David I taking on the mafia. Pope Francis will presumably play things a little straighter.
23,144 Ways America Created Terrorists in 2015
According to the Council of Foreign Relations, a pro-government think tank, the Obama Administration in the last year alone has dropped over 23,144 bombs onpredominantly Muslim countries. Whether or not one believes the force is justified on any pragmatic grounds, the carnage is irrefutable. In just Iraq and Syria, two of the most troubled countries today, over 20,000 of those bombs were dropped.
The U.S. government and its fourth branch, the mainstream media, have tried in vain to thwart and undermine the civilian casualty figures resulting from the air operations carried out by the U.S.-led coalition. According to a government report, U.S.-led airstrikes across Syria, Iraq, and other countries have avoided civilians at an astonishingly profound rate: of the 25,000 reported casualties, only six were considered to be civilians. Believing such a statistic is pretty remarkable, especially when considering that 42 civilians died in a single airstrike when U.S. warplanes bombed a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan.
The claim that aggressive military action is required in order to effectively neutralize terror groups does not hold up to logical criticism. History shows us that military force has only strengthened the overall capability of those terror groups by exacerbating the conditions necessary for their success. In 2014, the CIA estimated the size of the Islamic State to be between 20,000 and 31,000 fighters, while as recently as January 6, officials again repeated the 30,000 estimate. In other words, U.S.-led airstrikes appear to be weakening ISIS as much as they are avoiding civilian deaths!
The war on terror has been proven to strengthen the cause of jihadist groups in the region, providing them much-needed legitimacy, which they rely on for recruiting new members to bolster their ranks. According to Foreign Policy Magazine, the Taliban fighting U.S.-backed forces in Afghanistan today is stronger than it was at the onset of the war in 2001.
Billions of dollars have been spent and countless lives have been lost, and to whose benefit? Jihadists such as ISIS or the Taliban thrive on creating a bipolar world of good versus evil, and the violence the United States has purveyed in the region exemplifies the illusion that the jihadists are a force for good.
This is a concept understood by those in the highest ranks of the CIA, and is known as ‘blowback,’ a term officially coined by CIA consultant Chalmers Johnson. In his book,Nemesis, Johnson describes the implications of this phenomenon:
“This means that when the retaliation comes — as it did so spectacularly on September 11, 2001 — the American public is unable to put the events in context. So they tend to support acts intended to lash out against the perpetrators, thereby most commonly preparing the ground for yet another cycle of blowback. In the first book in this trilogy, I tried to provide some of the historical background for understanding the dilemmas we as a nation confront today, although I focused more on Asia — the area of my academic training — than on the Middle East.”
The United States has currently undertaken a war on terror, a war without limits. This war has no clear definition of victory, unless victory means the the death or capture of every terrorist on earth — an impossibility. The ultimate irony of U.S. foreign policy is that in its pursuit to bring democracy and eradicate terrorism, it has only created more and more failed states and boosted the ranks of terrorist organizations internationally. It is a downward spiral towards death, and it feeds off itself.
Robert Lifton, an American psychiatrist who specializes in the psychological effects of war,writes:
“The Effort to purify the world is self-defeating; the United States becomes a Sisyphus with bombs, able to set off explosions, but unable to cope with its own burden, unable to roll its heavy stone to the top of the hill in Hades.”
The politicians, media pundits, and citizenry who keep insisting the world can be controlled and shaped in our image through militarism and aggression are logically and morally bankrupt. The more aggressive their attempts to eradicate evil, the stronger evil becomes on both sides. Each of the 23,144 bombs dropped on Muslim countries in 2015 potentially created another terrorist.

Gravity Does Not Exist!
If you fill a balloon with helium, a substance lighter than the nitrogen, oxygen and other elements which compose the air around it, the balloon will immediately fly upwards. If you fill a balloon with hydrogen, a substance even lighter than helium, the balloon will fly upwards even faster. If you blow a dandelion seed out of your hands, a substance just barely heavier than the air, it will float away and slowly but eventually fall to the ground. And if you drop an anvil from your hands, something much heavier than the air, it will quickly and directly fall straight to the ground. Now, this has absolutely nothing to do with “gravity.” The fact that light things rise up and heavy things fall down is simply a natural property of weight. That is very different from “gravity.” Gravity is a hypothetical magnetic-like force possessed by large masses which Isaac Newton needed to help explain the heliocentric theory of the universe.
“Most people in England have either read, or heard, that
Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of gravitation was originated by his seeing an apple
fall to the earth from a tree in his garden.
Persons gifted with ordinary common-sense would say that the apple fell
down to the earth because, bulk for bulk, it was heavier than the surrounding
air; but if, instead of the apple, a fluffy feather had been detached from the
tree, a breeze would probably have sent the feather floating away, and the
feather would not reach the earth until the surrounding air became so still
that, by virtue of its own density, the feather would fall to the ground.” -Lady Blount, “Clarion’s Science Versus God’s
Truth” (40)
Wilbur Voliva, a famous flat-Earther in
the early 20th century, gave
lectures all over America against Newtonian astronomy. He would begin
by walking on stage with a
book, a balloon, a feather and a brick, and ask the audience: “How is it
that a
law of gravitation can pull up a toy balloon and cannot put up a brick?
I throw up this book. Why doesn’t it go on up? That book went up as
far as the force behind
it forced it and it fell because it was heavier than the air and that is
the
only reason. I cut the string of a toy balloon. It rises, gets to a
certain height and then
it begins to settle. I take this brick
and a feather. I blow the feather. Yonder it goes. Finally, it begins
to settle and comes
down. This brick goes up as far as the
force forces it and then it comes down because it is heavier than the
air. That is all.”
“Any object which is heavier than the air, and which is
unsupported, has a natural tendency to fall by its own weight. Newton's famous
apple at Woolsthorpe, or any other apple when ripe, loses hold of its stalk,
and, being heavier than the air, drops as a matter of necessity, to the ground,
totally irrespective of any attraction of the Earth. For, if such attraction
existed, why does not the Earth attract the rising smoke which is not nearly so
heavy as the apple? The answer is simple - because the smoke is lighter than
the air, and, therefore, does not fall but ascends. Gravitation is only a
subterfuge, employed by Newton in his attempt to prove that the Earth revolves
round the Sun, and the quicker it is relegated to the tomb of all the Capulets,
the better will it be for all classes of society.” -David Wardlaw Scott, “Terra Firma” (8)
“The ‘law of gravitation’ is said by the advocates of the
Newtonian system of astronomy, to be the greatest discovery of science, and the
foundation of the whole of modern astronomy.
If, therefore, it can be shown that gravitation is a pure assumption,
and an imagination of the mind only, that it has no existence outside of the
brains of its expounders and advocates, the whole of the hypotheses of this
modern so-called science fall to the ground as flat as the surface of the
ocean, and this ‘most exact of all sciences,’ this wonderful ‘feat of the
intellect’ becomes at once the most ridiculous superstition and the most
gigantic imposture to which ignorance and credulity could ever be exposed.” -Thomas Winship, “Zetetic Cosmogeny” (36)
Einstein’s theory of relativity and the entire heliocentric model of
the universe hinges upon Newton’s “law of gravitation.” Heliocentrists claim that the Sun is the most
massive object in the heavens, more massive even than the Earth, and therefore
the Earth and other planets by “law” are caught up in the Sun’s “gravity” and
forced to orbit perpetual circles/ellipses around it. They claim that gravity also somehow allows
people, buildings, the oceans, and all of nature to exist on the under-side of
their “ball-Earth” without falling off.
Now, even if gravity did exist, why would it cause both planets
to orbit the Sun and people to stick to the Earth? Gravity should either cause people to float
in suspended circular orbits around the Earth, or it should cause the Earth to
be pulled and crash into the Sun! What
sort of magic is “gravity” that it can glue people’s feet to the ball-Earth,
while causing Earth itself to revolve ellipses round the Sun? The two effects are very different yet the
same cause is attributed to both.
“Take the case of a shot propelled from a cannon. By the force of the explosion and the
influence of the reputed action of gravitation, the shot forms a parabolic curve,
and finally falls to the earth. Here we
may ask, why - if the forces are the same, viz., direct impulse and gravitation
- does not the shot form an orbit like that of a planet, and revolve round the
earth? The Newtonian may reply, because
the impulse which propelled the shot is temporary; and the impulse which
propelled the planet is permanent.
Precisely so; but why is the impulse permanent in the case of the planet
revolving round the sun? What is the
cause of this permanence?” -N.
Crossland, “New Principia”
“If the sun is pulling with such power at the earth and all her
sister planets, why do they not fall down upon him?” -A. Giberne, “Sun, Moon, and Stars” (27)
Furthermore, this magnetic-like attraction of massive
objects gravity is purported to have can be found nowhere in the natural world. There is no example in nature of a massive
sphere or any other shaped-object which by virtue of its mass alone causes
smaller objects to stick to or orbit around it!
There is nothing on Earth massive enough that it can be shown to cause
even a dust-bunny to stick to or orbit around it! Try spinning a wet tennis ball or any other spherical
object with smaller things placed on its surface and you will find that
everything falls or flies off, and nothing sticks to or orbits it. To claim the existence of a physical “law”
without a single practical evidential example is hearsay, not science.
“That bodies in some instances are seen to approach each
other is a fact; but that their mutual approach is due to an ‘ attraction,’ or
pulling process, on the part of these bodies, is, after all, a mere theory.
Hypotheses may be sometimes admissible, but when they are invented to support
other hypotheses, they are not only to be doubted but discredited and
discarded. The hypothesis of a universal force called Gravitation is based
upon, and was indeed invented with a view to support another hypothesis,
namely, that the earth and sea together make up a vast globe, whirling away
through space, and therefore needing some force or forces to guide it in its
mad career, and so control it as to make it conform to what is called its
annual orbit round the sun! The theory first of all makes the earth to be a
globe; then not a perfect globe, but an oblate spheroid, flattened at the ‘poles’;
then more oblate, until it was in danger of becoming so flattened that it would
be like a cheese; and, passing over minor variations of form, we are finally
told that the earth is pear-shaped, and that the ‘elipsoid has been replaced by
an apoid!’ What shape it may assume next
we cannot tell; it will depend upon the whim or fancy of some astute and
speculating ‘scientist.’” -Lady
Blount and Albert Smith, “Zetetic Astronomy” (14)
How is it that “gravity” is so strong that it can hold all the oceans,
buildings and people stuck to the under-side of the ball-Earth, but so weak
that it allows birds, bugs, smoke, and balloons to casually evade its grips
completely!? How is it that “gravity”
holds our bodies clung to the under-side of the ball-Earth, but yet we can
easily raise our legs and arms, walk or jump and feel no such constant downward
pulling force? How is it that “gravity”
can cause planets to revolve elliptical orbits around a single center of
attraction? Ellipses by nature require
two foci, and the force of gravitation would have to regularly increase and
decrease to keep planets in constant orbit and prevent pulling them into direct
collision courses!
“That the sun’s path is an exact circle for only about
four periods in a year, and then of only a few hours - at the equinoxes and
solstices - completely disproves the ‘might have been’ of circular gravitation,
and by consequence, of all gravitation … If the sun were of sufficient power to
retain the earth in its orbit when nearest the sun, when the earth arrived at
that part of its elliptical path farthest from the sun, the attractive force
(unless very greatly increased) would be utterly incapable of preventing the
earth rushing away into space ‘in a right line forever,’ as astronomers say. On the other hand, it is equally clear that
if the sun’s attraction were just sufficient to keep the earth in its proper
path when farthest from the sun, and thus to prevent it rushing off into space;
the same power of attraction when the earth was nearest the sun would be so
much greater, that (unless the attraction were very greatly diminished) nothing
would prevent the earth rushing towards and being absorbed by the sun, there
being no counterbalancing focus to prevent such a catastrophe! As astronomy makes no reference to the
increase and diminution of the attractive force of the sun, called gravitation,
for the above necessary purposes, we are again forced to the conclusion that
the great ‘discovery’ of which astronomers are so proud is absolutely non-existent.” -Thomas Winship, “Zetetic Cosmogeny” (44-45)
“We are asked by the Newtonian to believe that the action of
gravitation, which we can easily overcome by the slightest exercise of volition
in raising an hand or a foot, is so overwhelmingly violent when we lose our
balance and fall a distance of a few feet, that this force, which is
imperceptible under usual conditions, may, under extraordinary circumstances,
cause the fracture of every limb we possess?
Common-sense must reject this interpretation. Gravitation does not furnish a satisfactory
explanation of the phenomena here described, whereas the definition of weight
already given does, for a body seeking in the readiest manner its level of
stability would produce precisely the result experienced. If the influence which kept us securely
attached to this earth were identical with that which is powerful enough to
disturb a distant planet in its orbit, we should be more immediately conscious
of its masterful presence and potency; whereas this influence is so impotent in
the very spot where it is supposed to be most dominant that we find an
insurmountable difficulty in accepting the idea of its existence.” -N. Crossland, “New Principia”
Heliocentrists claim the ball-Earth is perpetually spinning
on its axis at a mind-numbing 1,038 miles per hour, or 19 miles per second, and
somehow people, animals, buildings, oceans, and other surface phenomena can
stick to the under-side of the spinning
ball without falling or flying off. Take
a ride on the “Gravitron” at your local amusement park, however, and notice how
the faster it spins, the more you are pushed away from the center of
spin, not towards it. Even if the
centripetal (inward pulling) force of gravity did exist, which it does not, the
centrifugal (outward pushing) force of the ball-Earth’s supposed 19 mile per
second spin would also exist and have to be overcome, yet neither of these
opposing forces have ever been shown to have any existence outside the
imaginations of heliocentric “scientists.”
“Gravitation is the term now used to ‘explain’ what
common-sense people look upon as inexplicable.
Globularists say that all orbs in space are globes gravitating towards
each other in proportion to their magnitude and power of attraction - there being
a ‘centripetal’ force (tending towards the center) and a ‘centrifugal’ force
(tending from the center); but how inert matter can set up any automatic force,
and cause one body to gravitate towards another body, has never yet been made
palpable to the senses. It belongs to
the regions of Metaphysics (‘existing only in thought’).” -Lady Blunt, “Clarion’s Science Versus God’s
Truth” (40-41)
“We are not like flies which, by the peculiar
conformation of their feet, can crawl on a ball, but we are human being, who
require a plane surface on which to walk; and how could we be fastened to the
Earth whirling, according to your theory, around the Sun, at the rate of
eighteen miles per second? The famed law
of Gravitation will not avail, though we are told that we have fifteen pounds
of atmosphere pressing on every square inch of our bodies, but this does not
appear to be particularly logical, for there are many athletes who can leap
nearly their own height, and run a mile race in less than five minutes, which
they could not possibly do were they thus handicapped.” -David Wardlaw Scott, “Terra Firma” (3)
“The attraction of gravitation is said to be stronger at
the surface of the earth than at a distance from it. Is it so?
If I spring upwards perpendicularly I cannot with all my might ascend
more than four feet from the ground; but if I jump in a curve with a low
trajectory, keeping my highest elevation about three feet, I might clear at a
bound a space above the earth of about eighteen feet; so that practically I can
overcome the so-called force (pull) at the distance of four feet, in the
proportion of 18 to 4, being the very reverse of what I ought to be able to do
according to the Newtonian hypothesis.”
-N. Crossland, “New Principia”
Newton also theorized and it is now commonly taught that the Earth’s
ocean tides are caused by gravitational lunar attraction. If the Moon is only 2,160 miles in diameter
and the Earth 8,000 miles, however, using their own math and “law,” it follows
that the Earth is 87 times more massive and therefore the larger object should
attract the smaller to it, and not the other way around. If the Earth’s greater gravity is what keeps
the Moon in orbit, it is impossible for the Moon’s lesser gravity to supersede
the Earth’s gravity at Earth’s sea-level, where its gravitational attraction
would even further out-trump the Moon’s.
Not to mention, the velocity and path of the Moon are uniform and should
therefore exert a uniform influence on the Earth’s tides, when in actuality the
Earth’s tides vary greatly. Furthermore,
if ocean tides are caused by the Moon’s gravitation, how is it that lakes,
ponds, and other smaller bodies of standing water remain outside the Moon’s
grasp, while the gigantic oceans are so effected!?
“If the moon lifted up the water, it is evident that near the
land, the water would be drawn away and low instead of high tide caused. Again, the velocity and path of the moon are
uniform, and it follows that if she exerted any influence on the earth, that
influence could only be a uniform influence.
But the tides are not uniform. At
Port Natal the rise and fall is about 6 feet, while at Beira, about 600 miles
up the coast, the rise and fall is 26 feet.
This effectually settles the matter that the moon has no influence on
the tides. Tides are caused by the gentle and gradual rise and fall of the
earth on the bosom of the mighty deep.
In inland lakes, there are no tides; which also proves that the moon
cannot attract either the earth or water to cause tides. But the fact that the basin of the lake is on
the earth which rests on the waters of the deep shows that no tides are
possible, as the waters of the lakes together with the earth rise and fall, and
thus the tides at the coast are caused; while there are no tides on waters
unconnected with the sea.” -Thomas
Winship, “Zetetic Cosmogeny” (130-131)
“It is affirmed that the intensity of attraction
increases with proximity, and vice versâ. How, then, when the waters are drawn
up by the moon from their bed, and away from the earth's attraction,--which at
that greater distance from the centre is considerably diminished, while that of
the moon is proportionately increased--is it possible that all the waters acted
on should be prevented leaving the earth and flying away to the moon? If the moon has power of attraction
sufficient to lift the waters of the earth at all, even a single inch from
their deepest receptacles, where the earth's attraction is much the greater,
there is nothing in the theory of attraction of gravitation to prevent her
taking to herself all the waters which come within her influence. Let the smaller
body once overcome the power of the larger, and the power of the smaller
becomes greater than when it first operated, because the matter acted on is
nearer to it. Proximity is greater, and therefore power is greater … How then
can the waters of the ocean immediately underneath the moon flow towards the
shores, and so cause a flood tide? Water flows, it is said, through the law of
gravity, or attraction of the earth's centre; is it possible then for the moon,
having once overcome the power of the earth, to let go her hold upon the
waters, through the influence of a power which she has conquered, and which
therefore, is less than her own? … The above and other difficulties which exist
in connection with the explanation of the tides afforded by the Newtonian system,
have led many, including Sir Isaac Newton himself, to admit that such
explanation is the least satisfactory portion of the ‘theory of gravitation.’
Thus we have been carried forward by the sheer force of evidence to the
conclusion that the tides of the sea do not arise from the attraction of the
moon, but simply from the rising and falling of the floating earth in the
waters of the ‘great deep.’ That calmness which is found to exist at the bottom
of the great seas could not be possible if the waters were alternately raised
by the moon and pulled down by the earth.”
-Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!” (159-175)
“Even Sir Isaac Newton himself confessed that the explanation of
the Moon's action on the Tides was the least satisfactory part of his theory of
Gravitation. This theory asserts that the larger object attracts the smaller,
and the mass of the Moon being reckoned as only one-eighth of that of the
Earth, it follows that, if, by the presumed force of Gravitation, the Earth
revolves round the Sun, much more, for the same reason, should the Moon do so
likewise, instead of which that willful orb still continues to go round our
world. Tides vary greatly in height, owing chiefly to the different
configurations of the adjoining lands. At Chepstow it rises to 60 feet, at
Portishead to 50, while at Dublin Bay it is but 1 2, and at Wexford only 5 feet
… That the Earth itself has a slight tremulous motion may be seen in the
movement of the spirit-level, even when fixed as steadily as possible, and that
the sea has a fluctuation may be witnessed by the oscillation of an anchored
ship in the calmest day of summer. By what means the tides are so regularly
affected is at present only conjectured; possibly it may be by atmospheric pressure
on the waters of the Great Deep, and perhaps even the Moon itself, as suggested
by the late Dr. Rowbotham, may influence the atmosphere, increasing or
diminishing its barometric pressure, and indirectly the rise and fall of the
Earth in the waters.” -David Wardlaw
Scott, “Terra Firma” (259-260)
“Bearing this fact in mind, that there exists a continual
pressure of the atmosphere upon the Earth, and associating it with the fact
that the Earth is a vast plane ‘stretched out upon the waters,’ and it will be
seen that it must of necessity slightly fluctuate, or slowly rise and fall in
the water. As by the action of the
atmosphere the Earth is slowly depressed, the water moves towards the receding
shore and produces the flood tide; and when by the reaction of the resisting
oceanic medium the Earth gradually ascends the waters recede, and the ebb tide
is produced. This is the general cause
of tides. Whatever peculiarities are
observable they may be traced to the reaction of channels, bays, headlands, and
other local causes … That the Earth has a vibratory or tremulous motion, such
as must necessarily belong to a floating and fluctuating structure, is
abundantly proved by the experience of astronomers and surveyors. If a delicate spirit-level be firmly placed
upon a rock or upon the most solid foundation which it is possible to
construct, the very curious phenomenon will be observed of constant change in
the position of the air-bubble. However
carefully the ‘level’ may be adjusted, and the instrument protected from the
atmosphere, the ‘bubble’ will not maintain its position many seconds
together. A somewhat similar influence
has been noticed in astronomical observatories, where instruments of the best
construction and placed in the most approved positions cannot always be relied
upon without occasional re-adjustment.”
-Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Earth Not a Globe, 2nd Edition” (108-110)
In the past several decades, NASA has shown video of astronauts,
supposedly in low-Earth orbit, experiencing complete weightlessness, or “zero gravity,”
how is this weightless effect achieved if gravity doesn’t exist? As it turns out, for the past several
decades, NASA together with Boeing have been perfecting so-called “Zero G
planes” and “Zero G maneuvers,” which are able to produce weightlessness at any
altitude. Aboard modified Boeing 727’s
specially trained pilots perform aerobatic maneuvers known as parabolas. Planes climb with a pitch angle of 45 degrees
using engine thrust and elevator controls, then when maximum height is reached
the craft is pointed downward at high speed.
The period of weightlessness begins while ascending and lasts all the
way up and over the parabola until reaching a downward pitch angle of 30
degrees, at which point the maneuver is repeated. Therefore all NASA’s footage of astronauts
aboard “space shuttles,” or “the International Space Station” can be easily
hoaxed and simulated in Earth-atmosphere aboard a Zero G plane. In fact, watching footage of Zero G plane
flights alongside footage of NASA astronauts supposedly floating around their
“space shuttles” and “space stations,” no observable difference can be seen
between the two.
Astronomers claim to have measured all the planets
distances, shapes, orbits, weights, relative positions, and times of revolution
all based on the “law of gravitation” and without gravity, their entire
cosmology folds under its own weight. Without
gravity, people cannot stand upside-down on a ball-Earth! Without gravity, the
Earth and planets cannot be revolving around the Sun! Without Newtonian gravitation, Einsteinian relativity,
Copernican heliocentricity, and the entire Big Bang ball-Earth mythos cannot
exist and falls to pieces. Gravity, both
metaphorically and quite literally, just does not hold any water; not as a
sound theory of cosmology, and not as a law supposedly
responsible for holding in the world’s oceans!
“Man's experience tells him that he is not constructed like the
flies that can live and move upon the ceiling of a room with as much safety as
on the floor: - and since the modern theory of a planetary earth necessitates a
crowd of theories to keep company with it, and one of them is that men are
really bound to the earth by a force which fastens them to it ‘like needles
round a spherical loadstone,’ a theory perfectly outrageous and opposed to all
human experience, it follows that, unless we can trample upon common sense and
ignore the teachings of experience, we have an evident proof that the Earth is
not a globe … If we could - after our minds had once been opened to the light
of Truth - conceive of a globular body on the surface of which human beings
could exist, the power - no matter by what name it be called - that would hold
them on would, then, necessarily, have to be so constraining and cogent that
they could not live; the waters of the oceans would have to be as a solid mass,
for motion would be impossible. But we not only exist, but live and move; and
the water of the ocean skips and dances like a thing of life and beauty! This
is a proof that the Earth is not a globe.”
-William Carpenter, “100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe” (21-88)
“Nearly a hundred years ago Kepler had suggested that
some kind of unknown force must hold the earth and the heavenly bodies in their
places, and now Sir Isaac Newton, the greatest mathematician of his age, took
up the idea and built the Law of Gravitation. The name is derived from the
Latin word ‘gravis,’ which means ‘heavy,’ ‘ having weight,’ while the Law of
Gravitation is defined as ‘That mutual action between masses of matter by
virtue of which every such mass tends toward every other with a force varying
directly as the product of the masses, and inversely as the square of their
distances apart.’ Reduced to simplicity,
gravitation is said to be ‘That which attracts every thing toward every other
thing.’ That does not tell us much ; and yet the little it does tell us is not
true; for a thoughtful observer knows very well that every thing is not
attracted towards every other thing . . . The definition implies that it is a
force; but it does not say so, for that phrase ‘mutual action ‘ is ambiguous,
and not at all convincing.” -Gerrard
Hickson, “Kings Dethroned” (14-15)
“The system of gravitation which makes the sun the moving
centre of the Universe, the awkward principles of which are anything but certain
since they apply to invisible circumstances so that they cannot be checked, is
here replaced by the old geocentric system, universally accepted until the 17th
century in view, of course, of its undisputable obviousness, and in which the
earth, in a state of immobility and surrounded by the planets visibly moving
round it including the sun, is at the centre of our Universe. These two facts
which explain almost everything are firstly, the positive existence above the
earth of a solid dome constituting the sky; and secondly, the non-material
nature of the planets and constellations, which are not physical masses, but
merely luminous manifestations without substance. These are the two
circumstances which lead today to the fundamental transformation of astronomy.” -Gabrielle Henriet, “Heaven and Earth” (vi)
“The theory that motions are produced through material
attraction is absurd. Attributing such a
power to mere matter, which is passive by nature, is a supreme illusion. It is a lovely and easy theory to satisfy any
man’s mind, but when the practical test comes, it falls all to pieces and
becomes one of the most ridiculous theories to common sense and judgment.” -Professor Bernstein, “Letters to the British
Association”
Debunking the Spinning Ball Earth
One of heliocentrist’s favorite “proofs” of their ball-Earth theory is the ability for ships and planes to circumnavigate, to sail or fly at right angles to the North Pole and eventually return to their original location. Since the North Pole and Antarctica are covered in ice and guarded “no-fly” zones, however, no ships or planes have ever been known to circumnavigate the Earth in North/South directions, only East/West; And herein lies the rub, East or West-bound circumnavigation can just as easily be performed on a flat plane as it can a globular sphere. Just as a compass can place its center-point on a flat piece of paper and trace a circle either way around the “pole,” so can a ship or plane circumnavigate a flat-Earth. The only kind of circumnavigation which could not happen on a flat-Earth is North/South-bound, which is likely the very reason for the heavily-enforced flight restrictions. Flight restrictions originating from none other than the United Nations, the same United Nations which haughtily uses a flat-Earth map as its official logo and flag!
“Circular sailing no more proves the world to be a globe than an
equilateral triangle. The sailing round the world would, of course, take very
much longer, but, in principle, it is exactly the same as that of the yachtsman
circumnavigating the Isle of Wight. Let me give a simple illustration. A boy
wants to sail his iron toy boat by a magnet, so he gets a basin, in the middle
of which he places a soap-dish, or anything else which he may think suitable to
represent the Earth, and then fills the basin with water to display the sea. He
puts in his boat and draws it by the magnet round his little world. But the
boat never passes over the rim to sail under the basin, as if that were
globular, instead of being simply circular. So is it in this world of ours;
from the extreme South we can sail from East to West or from West to East
around it, but we cannot sail from North to South or from South to North, for
we cannot break through intervening lands, nor pass the impenetrable ramparts
of ice and rocks which enclose the great Southern Circumference.” -David Wardlaw Scott, “Terra Firma” (68)
“A very good illustration of the circum-navigation of a
plane will be seen by taking a round table, and fixing a pin in the centre to
represent the magnetic pole. To this central pin attach a string drawn out to
any distance towards the edge of the table. This string may represent the
meridian of Greenwich, extending due north and south. If now a pencil or other
object is placed across, or at right angles to the string, at any distance
between the centre and the circumference of the table, it will represent a
vessel standing due east and west. Now move the pencil and the string together
in either direction, and it will be seen that by keeping the vessel (or
pencil), square to the string it must of necessity describe a circle round the
magnetic centre and return to the starting point in the opposite direction to
that in which it first sailed.” -Dr.
Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!” (226)
The ball-Earther’s logical argument is that only a globe can
be circumnavigated, the Earth has been circumnavigated, and therefore
the Earth is a globe. This is indeed a
logical modus ponens statement, but the conclusion is rendered invalid because
the first premise - that only a globe can be circumnavigated - is categorically
false. Another similarly logical but
unsound argument ball-Earther’s make is that only on a globe would one
gain or lose time when sailing/flying East or West, time is gained or
lost when sailing/flying East or West, and therefore the Earth is a globe. Again, the logical conclusion is rendered
invalid and the argument unsound because the first premise is incorrect. The same effect would be experienced on a
stationary flat-Earth as it would on a spinning ball-Earth.
“The gaining and losing of time on sailing ‘round the
world’ east and west, is generally referred to as another proof of the earth's
rotundity. But it is equally as fallacious as the argument drawn from
circumnavigation, and from the same cause, namely, the assumption that on a
globe only will such a result occur. It will be seen by reference to the following
diagram, that such an effect must arise equally upon a plane as upon a globe. Let V, represent a vessel on the meridian of
Greenwich V, N; and ready to start on a voyage eastward; and S, represent the
sun moving in an opposite direction, or westward. It is evident that the vessel
and the sun being on the same meridian on a given day, if the ship should be
stationary the sun would go round in the direction of the arrows, and would
meet it again in 24 hours. But if, during the next 24 hours, the ship has
sailed to the position X, say 45 degrees of longitude eastward, the sun in its
course would meet it three hours earlier than before, or in 21 hours--because
15 degrees of longitude correspond to one hour of time. Hence three hours would
be gained. The next day, while the sun is going its round the vessel will have
arrived at Y, meeting it 6 hours sooner than it would have done had it remained
at V, and, in the same way, continuing its course eastward, the vessel would at
length meet the sun at Z, twelve hours earlier than if it had remained at V;
and thus passing successively over the arcs 1, 2, and 3, to V, or the starting
point, 24 hours, or one day will have been gained. But the contrary follows if
the ship sails in the opposite direction. The sun having to come round to the
meridian of Greenwich V, S, N, in 24 hours, and the ship having in that time
moved on to the position fig. 3, will have to overtake the ship at that
position, and thus be three hours longer in reaching it. In this way the sun is
more and more behind the meridian time of the ship as it proceeds day after day
upon its westerly course, so that on completing the circum-navigation the
ship's time is one day later than the solar time, reckoning to and from the
meridian of Greenwich.” -Dr. Samuel
Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!” (229-230)
“The Sun, as he travels round over the surface of the
Earth, brings ‘noon’ to all places on the successive meridians which he
crosses: his journey being made in a westerly direction, places east of the
Sun's position have had their noon, whilst places to the west of the Sun's
position have still to get it. Therefore, if we travel easterly, we arrive at
those parts of the Earth where ‘time’ is more advanced, the watch in our pocket
has to be ‘put on’ or we may be said to ‘gain time.’ If, on the other hand, we
travel westerly, we arrive at places where it is still ‘morning,’ the watch has
to be ‘put back,’ and it may be said that we ‘lose time.’ But, if we travel
easterly so as to cross the 180th meridian, there is a loss, there, of a day,
which will neutralize the gain of a whole circumnavigation; and, if we travel
westerly, and cross the same meridian, we experience the gain of a day, which
will compensate for the loss during a complete circumnavigation in that
direction. The fact of losing or gaining time in sailing round the world, then,
instead of being evidence of the Earth's ‘rotundity,’ as it is imagined to be,
is, in its practical exemplification, an everlasting proof that the Earth is
not a globe.” -William Carpenter,
“100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe” (100)
Another favorite “proof” of ball-Earthers is the appearance from an
observer on shore of ships’ hulls being obfuscated by the water and
disappearing from view when sailing away towards the horizon. Their claim is that ship’s hulls disappear
before their mast-heads because the ship is beginning its declination around
the convex curvature of the ball-Earth.
Once again, however, their hasty conclusion is drawn from a faulty
premise, namely that only on a ball-Earth can this phenomenon occur. The fact of the matter is that the Law of
Perspective on plane surfaces dictates and necessitates the exact same
occurrence. For example a girl wearing a
dress walking away towards the horizon will appear to sink into the Earth the
farther away she walks. Her feet will
disappear from view first and the distance between the ground and the bottom of
her dress will gradually diminish until after about half a mile it seems like
her dress is touching the ground as she walks on invisible legs. The same happens with cars speeding away, the
axles gradually get lower and the wheels vanish until it appears as if the car
is gliding along its body. Such is the
case on plane surfaces, the lowest parts of objects receding from a given point
of observation necessarily disappear before the highest.
“This law of Perspective meets us on every hand; and
cannot be gainsaid. If, in a straight line, we look at a frozen lake from a
certain distance, we shall observe people who appear to be skating on their
knees, but, if we approach sufficiently near, we shall see them performing
graceful motions on their feet. Farther, if we look through a straight tunnel,
we shall notice that the roof and the roadway below converge to a point of
light at the end. It is the same law which makes the hills sink, to the
horizon, as the observer recedes, which explains how the ship's hull disappears
in the offing. I would also remark that when the sea is undisturbed by waves,
the hull can be restored to sight by the aid of a good telescope long after it
has disappeared from the naked eye, thus proving that the ship had not gone
down behind the watery hill of a convex globe, but is still sailing on the
level of a Plane sea.” -
David Wardlaw Scott, “Terra Firma” (75)
Not only is the disappearance of ship’s hulls explained by
the Law of Perspective, it is proven undeniably true with the aid of a good
telescope. If you watch a ship sailing
away into the horizon with the naked eye until its hull has completely
disappeared from view under the supposed “curvature of the Earth,” then look
through a telescope, you will notice the entire ship quickly zooms back into
view, hull and all, proving that the disappearance was caused by the Law of
Perspective, and not by a wall of curved water!
“On any frozen lake or canal, notably on the ‘Bedford
Canal,’ in the county of Cambridge, in winter and on a clear day, skaters may
be observed several miles away, seeming to glide along upon limbs without
feet--skates and boots quite invisible to the unaided eye, but distinctly
visible through a good telescope. But even on the sea, when the water is very
calm, if a vessel is observed until it is just ‘hull down,’ a powerful
telescope turned upon it will restore the hull to sight. From which it must be
concluded that the lower part of a receding ship disappears through the
influence of perspective, and not from sinking behind the summit of a convex
surface.” -Dr. Samuel Rowbotham,
“Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!” (216)
Ball-Earthers will often quip that “if the Earth were flat,
then we could see all over it!” but this is of course ignorant and inaccurate. If you stand on the beach, a plain or
prairie, you will find the horizon extends about three to six miles around you
depending on the weather and your eyesight.
The range of the human eye, our field of vision is from 110 to 1 degree,
and the smallest angle under which an object can still be seen is 1/60 of 1
degree, so that when an object is 3000 times its own diameter away from an
observer, it will cease to be visible.
So for example, the farthest distance at which one can see a 1 inch
diameter penny, is 3000 inches, or 250 feet.
Therefore, if a ship’s hull is 10 feet above the water, it will
disappear from the unaided eye at 3000 times 10 feet, or 6 miles. This has nothing to do with the supposed
“convexity” or “curvature” of the Earth and everything to do with the
common Law of Perspective.
“The horizon of an observer is distant or near according
to the greatness or otherwise of his elevation above the surface of the
supposed globe. If he stands 24 feet
above sea level, he is said to be in the center of a circle which bounds his
vision, the radius of which in any direction, on a clear day, is six
miles. A local gentleman tells me that
he has watched a boat-race in New Zealand, seeing the boats all the way out and
home, the distance being 9 miles from where he was standing on the beach. I have seen the hull of a steamer with the
naked eye at an elevation of not more than 24 feet, at a distance of 12 miles,
and in taking observations along the South African coast, have sometimes had an
horizon of at least 20 miles at an elevation of 20 feet only. The distance of the horizon, or vanishing
point, where the sky appears to touch the earth and sea, is determined, largely
by the weather, and when that is clear, by the power of our vision. This is proved by the fact that the telescope
will increase the distance of the horizon very greatly, and bring objects into
view which are entirely beyond the range of vision of the unaided eye. But, as no telescope can pierce a segment of
water, the legitimate conclusion we are forced to arrive at, is that the
surface of water is level, and that, therefore, the shape of the world cannot
be globular, and on such a flat or level surface, the greater the elevation of
the observer, the longer will his range of vision be, and thus the farther he
can see.” -Thomas Winship, “Zetetic
Cosmogeny” (56)
“On the shore near Waterloo, a few miles to the north of
Liverpool, a good telescope was fixed, at an elevation of 6 feet above the
water. It was directed to a large steamer, just leaving the River Mersey, and
sailing out to Dublin. Gradually the mast-head of the receding vessel came
nearer to the horizon, until, at length, after more than four hours had
elapsed, it disappeared. The ordinary rate of sailing of the Dublin steamers
was fully eight miles an hour; so that the vessel would be, at least,
thirty-two miles distant when the mast-head came to the horizon. The 6 feet of
elevation of the telescope would require three miles to be deducted for
convexity, which would leave twenty-nine miles, the square of which, multiplied
by 8 inches, gives 560 feet; deducting 80 feet for the height of the main-mast,
and we find that, according to the doctrine of rotundity, the mast-head of the
outward bound steamer should have been 480 feet below the horizon. Many other
experiments of this kind have been made upon sea-going steamers, and always
with results entirely incompatible with the theory that the earth is a globe.” -Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy,
Earth Not a Globe!” (46)
In the mid 19th century a Frenchman named Léon Foucault
became famous for swinging pendulums and claiming their consequent motions were
proof of the Earth’s diurnal rotation.
Since then “Foucault Pendulums” have regularly been swinging at museums
and exposition halls worldwide purporting to provide everlasting perpetual
proof of the heliocentric spinning ball-Earth theory. The truth is, however, unbeknownst to most of
the duped public, that Foucault’s pendulum is a failed experiment which proves
nothing but how easy it is for pseudo-science to deceive the malleable masses.
“This pendulum, modern scientists tell us, affords a
visible proof that we are living on a whirling globe, which, according to a
‘work on science’ now before me, is spinning upon its so-called axis at the
rate of over 1,000 miles an hour at the equator; and, in addition to other
motions, is rushing on an everlasting tour round the sun (the diameter of which
is said to be 813,000 miles, and its weight 354,936 times greater than the
earth from which it is said to be about 93,000,000 miles distant,) at the rate
of over 1,000 miles per minute. Now to
prove that the earth really has these motions a pendulum is suspended at the
show; the showman sets motion, and bids the gaping world of thoughtless men and
women to ‘behold a proof’ that we are living on a whirling globe which is
rushing away through space!” -Lady
Blount, “The Romance of Science” (7)
“Astronomers have made experiments with pendulums which
have been suspended from the interior of high buildings, and have exulted over
the idea of being able to prove the rotation of the Earth on its ‘axis,’ by the
varying direction taken by the pendulum over a prepared table underneath -
asserting that the table moved round under the pendulum, instead of the
pendulum shifting and oscillating in different directions over the table! But,
since it has been found that, as often as not, the pendulum went round the
wrong way for the ‘rotation’ theory, chagrin has taken the place of exultation,
and we have a proof of the failure of astronomers in their efforts to
substantiate their theory.” -William
Carpenter, “100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe” (73)
To begin with, Foucault’s pendulums do not uniformly swing
in any one direction. Sometimes they
rotate clockwise and sometimes counter-clockwise, sometimes they fail to rotate
and sometimes they rotate far too much.
Scientists who have repeated variations of the experiment have conceded
time and again that “it was difficult to avoid giving the pendulum some slight
lateral bias at starting.” The behavior
of the pendulum actually depends on 1) the initial force beginning its swing
and, 2) the ball-and-socket joint used which most-readily facilitates circular
motion over any other. The supposed
rotation of the Earth is completely inconsequential and irrelevant to the
pendulum’s swing. If the alleged
constant rotation of the Earth affected pendulums in any way, then there should
be no need to manually start pendulums in motion! If the Earth’s diurnal rotation caused the
360 degree uniform diurnal rotation of pendulums, then there should not exist a
stationary pendulum anywhere on Earth!
“First, when a pendulum, constructed according to the
plan of M. Foucault, is allowed to vibrate, its plane of vibration is often
variable - not always. The variation
when it does occur, is not uniform - is not always the same in the same place;
nor always the same either in its rate or velocity, or in its direction. It cannot therefore be taken as evidence; for
that which is inconstant cannot be used in favor of or against any given
proposition. It therefore is not
evidence and proves nothing! Secondly,
if the plane of vibration is observed to change, where is the connection
between such change and the supposed motion of the Earth? What principle of reasoning guides the
experimenter to the conclusion that it is the Earth which moves underneath the
pendulum, and not the pendulum which moves over the Earth? What logical right or necessity forces one
conclusion in preference to the other?
Thirdly, why was not the peculiar arrangement of the point of suspension
of the pendulum specially considered, in regard to its possible influence upon
the plane of oscillation? Was it not
known, or was it overlooked, or was it, in the climax of theoretical revelry,
ignored that a ‘ball-and-socket’ joint is one which facilitates circular motion
more readily than any other?” -Dr. Samuel
Rowbotham, “Earth Not a Globe, 2nd Edition” (153)
“We believe, with all due deference to the pendulum, and its
proprietor, that it proves nothing but the craftiness of the inventor; and we
can only describe the show and showman as deceptions. A thing so childish as this ‘pendulum proof’
that it can only be described as one of the most simple and ridiculous attempts
to gull the public that has ever been conceived. It has been said that the
pendulum experiment proves the rotation of the earth, but this is quite
impossible, for one pendulum turns one way; and sometimes, another pendulum
turns in the opposite direction. Now we
ask does the earth rotate in opposite directions at different places at one and
the same time? We should like to
know. Perhaps the experimenters will
kindly enlighten us on this point … If the earth had the terrible motions
attributed to it, there would be some sensible effects of such motions. But we neither feel the motion, see it, nor
hear it. And how people can stand
watching the pendulum vibrate, and think that they are seeing a proof of the
motions of the earth, almost passes comprehension. They are, however, brought up to believe it,
and it is thought to be ‘scientific’ to believe what the astronomers teach.” -Lady Blount, “The Romance of Science” (8-10)
Also in the mid-19th century, another Frenchman named
Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis performed several experiments showing the effect of
kinetic energy on rotating systems, which have ever since become mythologized
as proof of the heliocentric theory. The
“Coriolis Effect” is often said to cause sinks and toilet bowls in the Northern
Hemisphere to drain spinning in one direction while in the Southern Hemisphere causing
them to spin the opposite way, thus providing proof of the spinning ball-Earth. Once again, however, just like Foucault’s
Pendulums spinning either which way, sinks and toilets in the Northern and Southern
Hemispheres do not consistently spin in any one direction! Sinks and toilets in the very same household
are often found to spin opposite directions, depending entirely upon the shape
of the basin and the angle of the water’s entry,
not the supposed rotation of the Earth.
“While the premise makes sense - that the earth’s
eastward spin would cause the water in a toilet bowl to spin as well - in
reality, the force and speed at which the water enters and leaves the
receptacle is much too great to be influenced by something as miniscule as a
single, 360-degree turn over the span of a day.
When all is said and done, the Coriolis effect plays no larger role in toilet
flushes than it does in the revolution of CDs in your stereo. The things that really determine the
direction in which water leaves your toilet or sink are the shape of the bowl
and the angle at which the liquid initially enters that bowl.” -Jennifer Horton, “Does the Rotation of the
Earth Affect Toilets and Baseball Games?”
Science.HowStuffWorks.com
The Coriolis Effect is also said to affect bullet trajectories and
weather patterns as well, supposedly causing most storms in the Northern
Hemisphere to rotate counter-clockwise, and most storms in the Southern
Hemisphere to rotate clockwise, to cause bullets from long range guns to tend
towards the right of the target in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in
the Southern Hemisphere. Again, however,
the same problems remain. Not every
bullet and not every storm consistently displays the behavior and therefore
cannot reasonably be used as proof of anything. What about the precision of the
sight aperture, human error, and wind? What
about Michelson-Morley-Gale’s proven motion of the aether’s potential
effect? Why does the Coriolis Effect
affect most storms but not all? If some
storms rotate clockwise in the North and counter-clockwise in the South, how do
those storms escape the Coriolis force?
And if the entire Earth’s spin is uniform, why should the two
hemispheres be affected any differently?
Coriolis’s Effect and Foucault’s Pendulum are both said to prove the
Earth moves beneath our feet, but in reality only prove how easy it can be for
wolves in sheep’s clothing to pull the wool over our eyes.
