Others are mad that people who just want to be heard get heard, especially when it pertains to something they consider a nonsensical conspiracy theory.<br /><br />That’s my takeaway from the reaction to a story I wrote Monday about the Infinite Plane Society paying for a “Research Flat Earth” billboard on I-76 for the past week.<br /><br />RELATED STORIES<br />They think the world is flat and challenge you to prove them wrong<br />Half of Americans believe in conspiracy theories<br />South Jersey billboard aims to educate people about the dangers of chemtrails<br /><br />As if researching that piece – you can see it here if you haven’t yet – didn’t take me down a wormhole of Mariana Trench depth, the reactions drilled even deeper.<br /><br />This seems like the perfect time to share something with readers: I think the world is round and don’t believe that the elites are hiding land near Antarctica to consolidate power and riches.<br /><br />But, I also think that if someone ponies up a couple hundred bucks for a billboard that people are talking about in Philly, it’s my job to hear them out.<br /><br />Now that that’s established, the time has come to share some of the myriad reactions that made their way to my inbox since Monday morning, including the pro and con sides for fairness sake. (And, by the way, they don't even begin to touch on the 130-plus-comment battle playing out at the bottom of the story.)<br /><br />Here we go:<br /><br /><br />1. “How badly do you want the truth?” came the question accompanied by a 56-minute video entitled “Cult of Rome v1: Jesus = Helios” and the declaration that “everything we know is a lie.” – JamesPaul vonHelton<br /><br />2. “The person claiming to be Mark Sargent in the video and the Tim Ozman person you are writing about are one in the same. His name is actually Mark Larson.” – Patrick B. (Ozman didn't respond to a request for comment on this one Monday night.)<br /><br /><br />3. “There are lots of people who claim that government agents are deliberately sewing misinfo so you'll see some paranoid comments, but in a few hours, the greater FE community will be responding to this. It's really the first unbiased mainstream newspaper coverage yet.” – FLAT EARTH PEOPLE EVERYWHERE<br /><br />4. “My name is Tim Osman and I have been debunking the flat earth nonsense for 2 years. The Tim Ozman character came out about 9 months ago out of the blue using my name as a nom de plume. Infinite plane society, or Tim Ozman, has written a book entitled 'zombie media marketing' as well. He happens to have extremely effective online presence through different social media platforms. I have spoken with this person several times and those videos are here: <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Debunked his city council escapade here:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Most of the conspiracy crowd fell for this flat earth meme, in which I believe it to be a psychological operation or some kind of stunt from a PR company. The people at the top, all of which I have interacted with, seem to be using this as a money making scheme, where they fill their victims with the conspiracy they want to hear, while robbing their pockets on \$120 maps and other worthless swag.” – “The Real Tim Osman”<br /><br />NoneSCREENGRAB/GOFUNDMEA group of 'flat earthers' raised money to get their message on a billboard a few miles away from Philadelphia International Airport in June 2017.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />5. “Just wanted to ping you an email to say thank you for the integral and unbiased coverage of Flat Earth. As mentioned in the article, there are many factions within this debate, but the agreed upon points stand.” – Spiritual North<br /><br />6. “Remedy: 100mg Thorazine/hr for these flatards. The burden of proof is on them since they are expounding these ridiculous fairy tales. Just like their counterparts the Christians claiming g*d exists and jesus is coming back may 34, 2011 or June 98, 2013. Lots of delusion! I hope they do send a rocket up in space and get a real dose of reality.” – Randy<br /><br />7. “The Chicago skyline can be viewed from all the way across Lake Michigan with a telephoto lens. This disproves the globe model. We are talking almost 50 miles. According to the ball earth model, there is no way any part of the Chicago skyline should viewable from 50 miles away. The curvature formula is 8 inches per mile squared. Or simply 8x^2. So 8 inches of curvature the first mile, 32 inches of curvature the second mile and so on. Do the math and realize that we have been lied to my friend.” – Darrell Dragoo<br /><br />8. "Here is a video that shows NASA faking space. Near the end of this video you will see a harness 'plane'J as day. The CGI failed exposing the harness as the astroNOT floats by. Tough to dispute. Enjoy this fun and informative video.” – Atlantis<br /><br />9. “I've been looking at it for almost 2 years now and nobody has come close to debunking it. I hope you're not getting too much flack from all the trolls because there are a few out there. I became a flat earther trying to debunk the flat earth.” – Joseph, Iowa<br /><br />10. “Rarely do I come across an article that is not composed of mockery, ad hominem attacks and lies about our flat earth. It is very important to get the truth out to people as the ball earth model has been totally exposed by an ever increasing momentum of well researched, documented, tested and articulated evidence. There is a massive deception going on and in multiple levels of society and it's up to journalists of integrity like yourself to go as far as they can (without loosing their jobs!)” – HighlandResearch, Scotland<br /><br />And there you have it. I don't think we're any closer to closing the flat-earth battle, but open discussion is a good thing!<br /><br />Headahot_Hickey_Retake.jpg<br />BRIAN HICKEY<br />hickey@phillyvoice.com<br /><br />Escapes<br />Limited - Palm Springs - Westin Mission Hills<br />\$55 & up -- Greater Palm Springs Summer Deals up to 60% Off<br />LISTED BY<br />Some taxes, fees additional.<br />Just In<br /><br />London inferno extinguished; firefighters search for victimsReports say Mueller probe now examining possible obstructionCity finance director answers controller's doubts about soda tax revenueSkittles accused of racism, defended for colorless Pride Month candyPhilly announces 2017 opening dates for public poolsWATCH: New Jersey troopers rescue boy, dog locked in hot carMust Read<br />Q&A<br /> 060917_DaylinLeach_Carroll.jpg<br />Q&A with Daylin Leach: the danger of Trump, a Meehan challenge and those vicious tweets<br /><br />EAGLES<br /> 111616CarsonWentz<br />Why a 'sophomore slump' is highly unlikely for Eagles QB Carson Wentz<br /><br />FITNESS<br /> Insane Inflatable 5k<br />Race through an inflatable obstacle course at Citizens Bank Park<br /><br />SURGERY<br /> 06132017_CHOP_cojoined_twins<br />In rare procedure, CHOP surgeons separate twin girls conjoined at the head<br /><br /> by Taboola Promoted Links <br />You May Like<br />6 Jobs That Will Be Gone in 10 Years<br />BleuBloom.com<br />They think the world is flat and challenge you to prove them wrong<br />Speak a new language in 3 weeks thanks to this app made in Germany<br />Babbel<br />NYT op-ed on infrastructure suggests 'Trump can look to Philadelphia for inspiration'<br />5 College Degrees That Will Be Extinct In 20 Years<br />Womensarticle.com<br />‘Shark Tank’ will hold Philly auditions this month<br />Tiny Device Allows You To Track Anything (it's Genius!)<br />TrackR Bravo<br />Weekend Music Picks: The Weeknd, U2, Deftones & more<br /><br />Sponsored<br />ENTERTAINMENT<br />Chris D'Elia for Borgata<br />See Stand-Up Comic Chris D’Elia LIVE at Borgata<br />by Borgata-Natve-Badge-2017<br />WELLNESS<br />Girlfriends sitting on steps laughing<br />Are you taking care of your emotional well-being?<br />by IBC - Native (195x33)<br />FOOD<br />Preparing a healthy meal<br />Trick yourself into eating healthier with these food swaps<br />by IBC - Native (195x33)<br />Promoted Links <br />From The Web<br />6 Jobs That Will Be Gone in 10 Years (BleuBloom.com)<br />Speak a new language in 3 weeks thanks to this app made in Germany (Babbel)<br />5 College Degrees That Will Be Extinct In 20 Years (Womensarticle.com)<br />Tiny Device Allows You To Track Anything (it's Genius!)

@관찰자위성이 얼마나 많길레 그많은 개인간 통신들을 다 처리한다고 그래요. 전화는 개개인이 정보가 다 틀리잖아요. 위성은 한가지 신호로 광벙위한 지역을 커버하구요. 무궁화 위성이 커버할 수 있는 지역이 대략 직경으로 2천 킬로는 되지요. 반면 통신 중계기는 넓어야 10여 킬로구요. 그건 생각 못했지요? ㅎㅎ
첫댓글 대형간판 모습
화제가 되어 방송국에서 호기심 (?)에서 취재열기

삭제된 댓글 입니다.
김어준의 뉴스공장에서 다룬적이 있었습니다
@가을 남자 잘봤습니다 내개인적인 생각도
지구의 본 모습이 이런 모습일것 같습니다
그리고 우리가 볼수있는 부분은 안쪽 원형이고 돔 내부일 뿐이지요
간판이라는 것이 뭔가 했더니 광고간판이었네.
방송사에서 취재했다는 것도 세상에 이런 일이 정도의 가십거리를 소재를 하는 프로그램이었을 것이고요. ㅎㅎㅎ
항상 삐딱선만 타세요?
수면 아래에만 있다가 이제는 마침내 수면 위로 등장했다는 뜻이에요
@관찰자 그냥 놔 두시지요 깨닫기 전에는 아무리 해도 안됩니다
지금은 이런 자들 상대 할때가 아니고
아직 진실을 접하지 못하신 분들이 알게 되기를 노력 할때 입니다
이런 자들이 자꾸 방해를 하지만
그냥 하나님께 맡기고 우린 할일이나 합시다
@관찰자 님도 TV볼때 위성방송 보지요? 집집 마다 접시 안테나 많이 보일텐데요. 스카이 라이프레나 뭐레나 ㅎㅎ
@야다 위성이면 된다면서 통신사는 왜 그렇게 전국에 구석구석 중계기를 세웁니까?
말이 되는 소리를 하셔야지

@야다 위성이라는 것이 에들벌룬에 매달아 올린것 모르나 봅니다
@야다 위성 다는 아저씨가 통신위성 방향을 얼마나 정확히 알기에 그리 쉽게 다시나요?
하늘이 두루마리처럼 말려 떠나가기 전까진 전세계가 다 믿기는 어려울듯
