Hey folks, it's been a little quiter around here since I finished my series on Flat-Earth theory, but I haven't abandoned you, I promise! I've been busy with an unrelated project in the business I'm helping to run, so posts may be a little thin for the next couple of weeks.
While you're waiting for my next posts, here are a few like-minded facebook pages I'd encourage you to follow:

Roundworld Conspiracy: Souls in the System & Conclusion
Part 11 - Souls in the System
Sargent starts this one off with a discussion of a documentary intended to prove that the moon landings were hoaxes. The part that has his attention here is that the Apollo astronauts that the film maker had attempted to interview had refused to swear on the Christian Bible to the truth of their stories.

Roundworld Conspiracy: Magic Show & Hiding God
Part 9: Magic Show
Ah, we're back to the planes. I actually enjoyed this one, because I got to learn some interesting things about modern communications technology. Sargent admits that some of his own listeners, attempting to repeat his observations from part 7, discovered that there really are non-stop long-hauls over the southern hemisphere, so of course he had to come up with a way to disprove that those flights actually happen.
Magical camouflage, obviously. |

Roundworld Conspiracy: Long Haul & Creative force
Part 7: The Long Haul
Here Sargent actually does something right, from a scientific standpoint. He not only explains his real-world observations, but points his audience to where they can observe the same. Plus, air travel is much more accessible to the average citizen of Earth than space travel, so he's getting close to some testable hypotheses with this video.

Go ahead and get comfy. |

Roundworld Consipiracy: Status Quo & Depth Perception
Part 5: Status Quo
In Part 5, Sargent is largely speculating - attempting to prove himself right by discussing the progression of events that might have led to the population of a dome-world being deceived by their own leaders about the existence of the dome. I won't waste time on the historic details, because an imagined history is not proof, whether he gets any particular points right or not. He is clearly excited by the idea that religions are superior to science, but that's just more of his own biases shining through.
The nerds are stuck in their labs, let's party! |

Roundworld Conspiracy: Map Makers & Shell Beach
Part 3: Map Makers
In this video, Sargent talks about the layout of his Flat Earth.
He talks about an ancient Islamic scientist called Al-Biruni, who is credited with creating the Azimuthal Equidistant style of map projection. It doesn't matter if you've personally heard of him, his contributions to science were significant, and yes, even NASA recognized him when naming one of the many craters on the moon.
He's using me for what!? |

Roundworld Conspiracy: The Empty Theatre & The Byrd Wall
Flat Earth Clues Part 1: The Empty Theatre
In this Video, Mark Sargent presents another very questionable piece of so-called evidence for his model of the Earth's shape, and the history of human discovery. You see, Hollywood movies are designed to brainwash us into not questioning the idea that the Earth is round.
And that aliens are just anthropomorphic versions of Earth animals, right? |

The Roundworld Conspiracy, Introduction
In my previous entry, I explained that I had been asked to review a series of YouTube videos by Mark Sargent. In these he attempts to outline a series of “clues” that, in his estimation, point to one irrefutable conclusion:
That the Earth is in fact flat, and enclosed in a massive dome.
