A review of "Flat Earth Clues: The Sky´s the Limit"
This book is based on an amateur “documentary”, really
a kind of extended lecture, claiming that the Earth is flat (!) and that the
sky is really an artificial dome (!!). The book seems to be a transcript of the
text read by the narrator of the documentary. He assures us that it's not a
joke, but after watching segments of his cinematic oeuvre, I suspect that it
just might be!
In Mark Sargent's scenario, not only is the Earth flat, it's also a completely artificial creation. Thus, volcanoes don't prove that the interior of the Earth is enormous and made of molten lava, no, the volcanoes are simply huge artificial blast furnaces built by engineers to trick the hoi polloi into thinking that the Earth is a globe?! As already indicated, the starry skies are really a huge dome (as in the film “The Truman Show”). Apparently, everything else is artificial too, including Antarctica, really an enormous ice wall surrounding the flat earth disk.
It's not clear who constructed the Earth and why, although a mysterious “Authority” is mentioned several times in the narration. Nor is it clear why The Authority told the truth about the flat earth until Copernicus and started lying about it only afterwards. (As a side point, let me note that the narrator confuses geocentrism and the idea of a globe earth. The former was subverted by Copernicus. The latter was known already in ancient Alexandria.) Naturally, everyone is in on the conspiracy, from the Apollo mission astronauts and NASA to mapmakers and whoever constructed the GPS system. Only the Flat Earth Society knows the truth!
On commenter on the web have criticized this book/documentary by posting the following: “Flat Earth is a Hoax. It's all just CGI. The people who promote it are the Illuminati trying [to] do a psyop operation in order to identify the most weak minded....who will be culled via chemtrails and food additives.” The comment was ironic, but I'm almost tempted to believe the alternative conspiracy theory that, yes, we're dealing with a major psy-ops operation…
