I share your concern, it is impossible not to conclude a massive interest exists in destroying/removing that content. It cannot be denied by anyone who looks into it, not honestly anyway. regardless of the topic, it is being censored.... but why, it seems harmless even if incorrect.

I 'entertain' the notion, and let me tell you why, during my travels I had the 'opportunity' to serve in the US Navy and was lucky enough to be on a ship that took what we called 'a world tour'. I drove the ship PERSONALLY, for many hours, of many days for many months, we were 'at sea' with port visits for over a year. I stood with my two hands on the wheel and drove the ship, in 4-5 hour shifts, with the GPS map above my right shoulder, everything looked 100% legit to me from this angle, and ofc to everyone else. There was no talk of flat earth, in fact, I hadnt even heard about it.

For my trip around the world, I got one of these: Order Of Magellan (plaindealer-sun.com) and I did and do still think its pretty cool.

I will explain in relaxed detail, my experiences during that trip. I used the big-eyes from the bridgewings when not driving the ship, this is for port and starboard bridgewing 'lookout'. Our job on that post is to identify and report other vessels, planes, anything we see, along with their range and relative bearing to our ship. We stared at the horizon for hours. The bridgewings, stand approx 4-5 stories tall above the water, its very tall. No curve can be discerned and with the big eyes, you can see ships that are 15 miles away clearly. but whatever, I'm not that nitpicky, I was there, I could be wrong, but my memory tells me the observable lines... all flat, no dramatic curves, for miles and miles in every direction. Went up in helos, went up in planes.. no curve is seen. but whatever man... maybe im just wrong.

So then I get out and I find out about FE youtubers, I start picking on them, really gave em a hard time, trying to throw my journies in their face, finally having satisfied the "personally experienced" angle. I thought I was invincible, these filthy basement dwellers had nothing on your boy Popeye.

I sailed west, and I kept sailing west, until I was in the same city again, thats all I felt I needed to have adequate 'proof'.

Then one of them said it.....

If there was only one pole, in the center of a plane/disc/whatevershape, then you would be able to drive AROUND it and it would totally seem and feel to a magnetic compass navigator, like you went "around" but thats a circle around a point.

Put your chair in the center of your room, walk around it in circles, does this prove your floor is a globe? Of course it doesnt, I'm being facetious.

I have chosen, of my own accord, to keep an open mind about the subject. In fact, I'd be really interested to try and personally prove it again, in either direction (debunk or glorify). I dont even care who is correct, I really dont give a shit. I care about the finding out and certainty (as much as it can exist).

I've heard the same thing you did, that FES is a clown org to make it look like a full retard movement. I never went around that group anyway, I just talked to real folks. I showed another buddy the content about a year ago, while I am very much just pondering the ideas, he is now full on believer that the earth is flat. I did not mean to do that. I just wanted to share the ideas with him, and I changed him.

There is every chance in the world that its bullshit, but that door swings both ways.

If you think honestly about what you believe versus what you actually KNOW, really know.... thats where the party is.
