and I can't say it enough this guy right here when he came out with the video flat earth Clues I didn't know what I was getting into when I hit play the very first time other than Rob's Kiba said you gotta watch it you gotta watch it and that's exactly what I did so I want to bring out to the stage a guy that's very special to me a really good friend of mine who's working on a project with us now and I just want to say mark Sargent come on out man and tear this up have a great time this is yours I love you excited person in the back all right do we have can we switch over to my slide screen I mean I love the clouds I could read it without the slides but it works better with okay so I'm gonna do it's really quick cuz I know we're kind of pressed for time so some of you know how this drill works I'm gonna speak for about 25 minutes and then open it up to QA QA will be a microphone in the aisle over there microphone and the aisle over there and anybody it lines up to ask a question I have an incentive for you you will get a signed illuminati card just like I did in Raleigh this one's called the sleeper so everybody gets the same card you don't get to get like random cards and if anybody gets an X or an O on their card if you find it on your cards let me know and I will give you something special to come up to the stage afterwards and we're still waiting for that which is fine we may have tech support come up before it's over guys anything do I have to do anything up here one sec also there is media in the room so if you see a slide up on the screen that you love or you hate let them hear it because the media loves sound bytes sorry give us a minute here my fault because it probably went into sleep mode don't film this well cut this in post did everybody get a copy of the book good I'm I spent five and a half hours signing them if you want to me to inscribe it you're gonna have to catch me but that's gonna be a little tough but I'm happy to do it for you we had it - absolutely you'll know you'll know if this works because the screen will change to Google flutters and I can do this absolutely without the slides I can just read it but huh goodness settings Thanks thank you for that thank you there it is perfect they're big all right thank you thank you tech support all right it's cuts into my Q&A time but let's get right to it remember if you see something you love or you hate on this screen for the media yell scream boo whatever make hissing noises you know stuff like that well well yeah you could boo too and you will get to it pretty quick okay so right off the bat this is Kanye West he is quoted as saying that his only regret is not being able to see himself perform live on stage I used to think used to think this was the most arrogant thing I had ever heard until I saw this guy that's right this is Neil deGrasse Tyson otherwise known as He Who Shall Not Be Named the world's most popular scientist his quote is as follows science is true whether or not you believe in it a lot of scientists feel this way if they put their stamp on it then it is an absolute fact well here's one of their absolute facts and I did this just for you guys it's a fish this is a coelacanth and this is the coelacanth fossil record mainstream science said without a doubt that this rather unattractive fish and all others like it went extinct at least 70 million years ago every scientist in the fields relating to this fish was convinced that this was true and would have staked their careers on it all the scientists in question were absolutely 100% put it in a certificate you can frame wrong why this coelacanth was caught off the coast of South Africa in 1938 and it wasn't a fluke since then they have been found in Kenya Tanzania Mozambique Madagascar just to name a few I can assure you without a doubt this fish right here has not been dead for 70 million years that's National Geographic swimming with them by the way how did science screw this up so badly they saw the fossil record what you saw earlier and stopped looking for the truth science is only true until the day that it isn't why is this so important here's another guy you should be ready that's right this is Brian Cox Brian Cox is an astrophysicist out of the UK he is the second most popular scientist in the world next - He Who Shall Not Be Named he hates flat earth Brian Cox hates it so much that he is today's lose my screen oh no what happened go to settings do wave do we have to reset this ah I was on a roll guys run up here it was Brian Cox screwed it up and here comes tech support oh boy this may not be good you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna read and still I'm gonna I'm just gonna read these until support we'll get to the slide eventually you ready okay so Brian Cox hates it so much that he is in complete denial of it he won't even acknowledge it's okay tech support ladies and gentlemen go ahead and I'll just read and we'll catch up to the slides honestly it's the words anyway that means something the slides are good Brian Cox hates so much they did is he was in complete denial of it he won't even acknowledge it exists he states that it is not a thing now that everyone here and at other conferences don't really believe in it and that flat earth was never a thing it's just a myth or legend and that no culture is just a myth or legend and no culture anywhere has ever believed in it Brian thinks this is an absolute fact and normally there'd be a slide up there and you guys can look this up I'll just reference stuff all you have to do is look up on oh there it goes perfect you want just hang out with me okay perfect and you know what slide to go to he even slide to go to that's awesome okay I find that interesting because there were great many cultures that first looked at the world the same way and they all drew the same images let's rattle off of some of these shall we greek navajo babylonian mesa japanese persian viking indian mayan Incan Hebrew Australian Chumash I don't know what to mush as Slavic African Sumerian Mesopotamian Norse Hindu Masonic little tip when a secret society trusts the world a certain way you want to might want to pay attention islamic roman egyptian aztec arabic all of these large groups saw the world like this oh you don't have to apply it it's fine one I enjoyed more than most was made about 500 years ago in the Netherlands by a man named Hieronymus Bosch it is called the Garden of Earthly Delights and it opens to show a paradise inside interesting trivia about this piece a replica of it hung above the childhood crib of Leonardo DiCaprio this will come up later trust me so it's 2019 I'm in a room full of people and flat earth is a thing if I would have said this word these words to you even five years ago it would have been considered the most extreme fringe science fiction but today the term and ideas are almost commonplace so how did we get to this point how did Flat Earth make it this far how did we get here it is one of the most unlikely tales you will ever hear with plot twists that would make a Hollywood writer blush but as I am fond of saying the truth is often stranger than fiction none of what I am about to tell you is secret information anyone can look up the record for what happened but if you don't I can assure you every word what about what I'm about to say is true On February 10 2015 I created the first of what ended up being the Flat Earth clues series and some of you know did not think it would gain traction I put my name and phone number in the first video because apparently I enjoy abuse I practically begged people to call me up and prove me wrong so I could get back to my sleepy little life in Boulder Colorado almost immediately I was set upon by people who wanted to know more the emails started pouring in and the phone calls came at all hours of the night podcast wanted to do interviews students wanted details and so did a lot of people making videos on YouTube Rob Skiba called and wanted to debate me during the show you could feel his mind racing with new possibilities after the second show truth frequency radio contacted me and asked if I would do a program of my own to talk about Flat Earth and spread the word and 2015 continued like that a true grassroots year for Flat Earth more channels dedicated to destroying the globe and the entire conspiracy world took notice because it was and still is the most hated and the most polarizing fringe topic that there is professionals from different walks of life began to come forward from the American military we had a Navy missile instructor Air Force navigator Marine Corps sniper instructor Navy submarine chief Army artillery radar operator army master gunner army air traffic controller Navy navigator and a navy electronic warfare technician from the air we had American flight instructor air traffic controller commercial airline captain's commercial airline and from the ground we had industrial engineers corporate travel agents large project surveyors and many others as 2015 drew to a close the topic had started to expand its different facets discovering new ideas almost weekly and enthusiasm was high even though mainstream viewed it as just another internet flash-in-the-pan they couldn't have been more wrong at the beginning of 2016 a Grammy nominated rap artist named Bobbi ray Simmons Jr known professionally as rapper b. o. b released a new single called flatline the song was unusual for two reasons the first was that it included a long audio clip from astrophysicist He Who Shall Not Be Named as he described the earth as being pear-shaped the second was that it implied that the scientist was taking government money to hide the fact that the world was indeed flat this is when the mainstream media first took notice mostly because it was new news this is something they had never seen and even before the media could fully digest the concept the scientist in question did the unthinkable he fired back for reasons that continue to remain unknown to this day the leading face of mainstream science decided to make an appearance on Comedy Central and then to a monologue against rapper b.
o. b on why the earth isn't flat he used my no animations no graphics and made it a point to use profanity at the end while symbolically dropping the mic on the topic with the help of his nephew Neil Tyson even made a response rap song which I will not play for you and I know I said Neil Tyson I go back and forth on that the effect it had was well flammable it was without a doubt the most interesting story to start off the year and helped fuel the emerging Flat Earth topic and social media between the two people involved one of them in the music industry and the other in science there was no way the average media editor could could ignore it the mainstream exposed ordinary people who had never looked at a single conspiracy - the simple words that now echo everywhere Flat Earth in droves the general population searched for the reason why this was a headline and were pulled into the rabbit hole from which few can escape including all you find people and if you think that's the strangest thing to start off the Flat Earth world in 2016 you would be sorely mistaken Leonardo DiCaprio visited the Vatican this isn't real you can watch the video of this it's absolutely real and guess what he brought up on camera Flat Earth being an a-list celebrity only gets you 15 minutes with the Pope true story did he talk about climate change yeah a little bit did he bring the pulp an art book showing the world as an enclosed structure and how it represented the promise of the future indeed he did the hieronymus boss Bosch pick is right there in the center you can barely see if it's that square shot at the top of that page after Leonardo left the Pope left the Vatican and flew to Cuba to meet with the Orthodox Pope the first time the two had met in a thousand years we don't know what they talked about but after the Orthodox Pope left he flew straight to Antarctica one of the hot buttons of the Flat Earth community who else went to Antarctica in 2016 well Secretary of State John Kerry for one and even though it may not seem strange to you it did to me because he was there on election night when he should have been back in the States backing his candidate then who was his candidate at the time exactly I didn't even say her name yeah it was Hillary Clinton so why was he there when Hillary was supposed to win member who was supposed to be a landslide well he should have been right there it's like what did he know she was going to lose maybe who else was there astronaut Buzz Aldrin was there in 2016 and had to be no now now all right you can do him if you want he had to be airlifted out for health reasons we can only speculate and while these high-profile people went to Antarctica in 2016 and it still to this day raises many questions the very first Flat Earth video award show was also in February of 2016 yes there were already so many Flat Earth videos that they were starting to give out awards by April Flat Earth regional meetups were appearing the first was in Houston then Seattle and after that just about every state you could imagine and this wasn't just happening in the United States across the Mon yeah Dave Murphy from the UK had already made his first Flat Earth appearance on Macedonian television by August of 2016 it started I started keeping track of the numbers and the sheer volume of videos the topic was helping create in social media we weren't just an anomaly we were a bonafide trend and gaining speed every month in 2016 drew to a close we were a cool Club um sort of cool that had gotten some solid attention but the future was uncertain sometimes even precarious not for long within a month all that would change in 2017 like a sign from the heavens someone had carved into the hillside of Los Angeles Google Flat Earth even now this person responsible has never come forward if you are this person I would love to talk to you from what I understand it was a one-man job he just went up there with a safety vest and a hardhat and a shovel and just carved this out no one stopped him it's brilliant that very night basketball all-star Kyrie Irving announced during a podcast that he believed in Flat Earth and the day after that LeBron James the big guy the most popular face an American basketball supported him I cannot overstate the shock waves that Flat Earth was creating in the sports world every sports periodical in the world covered this story immediately then the general media dived in over the next few months it was the watercooler topic the crossover media was surreal this is Rolling Stone article about Jimmy Kimmel and Dave Chappelle on late-night television discussing Kyrie Irving and Flat Earth the word was now even spreading so quickly across multiple levels of media it was surreal to add to the fire NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal supported Kyrie as well during a live broadcast but only stood by it for 10 days turns out some of his sponsors weren't thrilled with the idea is it gonna Majan and so a hasty late-night talk show retraction was put into place we're also on Jimmy Kimmel I'm feeling Jimmy Kimmel's team is here today I don't know if they're here right the second I he's not gonna make an appearance personally the UK program big big brother kicked off a member for harassing someone who believed in Flat Earth The Canadian comedy team Trailer Park Boys did a full skit on the topic and the year was only half over regional meetups were increasing every month Denver Boston Phoenix Las Vegas Florida Hawaii Canada London our first formal debate was in Atlanta this is a shot right here this is out of Seattle Washington there's Patricia steer and D marble and then begin in the middle I'm up in the corner I should be in the middle but I'm not that's fine not bitter and as 20-17 entered its final months there stood the crowning achievement the first flat earth conference in 500 years it might as well been forever an ancient truth made new again simply by brave people believing in it international media flew in for the unique event and were amazed by the conviction the passion and the sincerity of all the people involved oh I hate this next slide the largest YouTube channels in the world we're now waiting into the flat earth pool this is the largest YouTube channel in the world this is PewDiePie that's Patricia steer on the left and what appears to be Shrek on the right I don't know how he created that shot but as you know I do not photograph well let's get past this slide shall we late-night talk shows we're taking shots at its monthly who the hell was Freddie Flintoff I didn't know but apparently he was talking about flat earth over in lund Freddie Flintoff turns out as a cricket player that's English for baseball HBO vice ABC BuzzFeed German television Russian television British television hustler magazine yeah I snuck in that University classes radio stations the last day of 2017 rapper b. o.
b was preaching Flat Earth to Bill Nye the Science Guy I don't actually have a bill nice slide so yeah you know so you have to boo now that same week Kyrie Irving was using Flat Earth in his shoe commercials and still mainstream science thought we would just go away so what did we do in 2018 we changed gears if some is good then more is better more meetups not just every month but almost every week I had to build a special playlist on YouTube and now there are hundreds of regional meetups in it you would think at this point that nothing could surprise the media when it came to Flat Earth they had already seen a rap battle between a Grammy nominee and the world's most popular scientist then they watched the sports world openly debate the shape of the world what other rabbits did Flat Earth having its hat you know before I get to the rabbit I gotta mention so yeah that's San Francisco right here's the fun one ready that's South Korea was that but right in the middle of this and you can't see him he's towards the front that's D marble hey I don't know how you get into everything D I didn't go to South Korea do you even speak Korean no all right so rabbit in the Hat what happened here's a rabbit for you Mad Mike Hughes like I know it's kind of mixed right he's suing me actually it's a whole nother story I'll tell you a California stuntman put a giant flat earth sticker on the side of a hole made rocket had literally launched the topic to a new level did it prove Flat Earth not at all was it covered again and again in social media as the launch was delayed twice yes it was in 2018 there wasn't just one Flat Earth conference there were three one in the US one in Canada and one in the UK all different all fantastic we now had dedicated venues where we could share our ideas and experiences just before the first Canadian conference the first mainstream documentary on the topic defied all expectations and competed in 22 film festivals in seven countries so many showings that the producers could not even begin to do to attend them all before the year was over it would be purchased by Amazon YouTube iTunes and Netflix and during all this the numbers the precious debts that I loved reached for the impossible in June of 2018 flat earth which started at a modest fifty thousand search results had hit twenty point nine million the cherry on top being that the President of the United States Donald Trump was sitting at twenty point eight and somewhere along the line the powers that be decided we were getting a little too excited the YouGov survey said it all Americans were now starting to lean towards Flat Earth too quickly for their tastes indeed a full third of young Americans didn't believe in the globe anymore I know right thirty-four percent if you haven't seen the asmin gold video which came out in the last two weeks you got to watch it because under 20 we're tracking about 53% scary for science YouTube took matters into their own hands because of this yeah I know you hate him but we need them and they took down their own scoreboard so that we would stop pointing at it Google went before the United States government and said they were doing what they could to deal with the Flat Earth problem that kept spreading but secretly still loved us because we kept people watching YouTube which is now the largest television network in the world National Geographic tracks some of us down and condemned the Flat Earth movement as being a danger to medicine a threat to technology and had the potential of sending science back to the dark ages so the dark ages really you're gonna clap the dark ages come on I thought there were being a tad dramatic but they did have a point we weren't going away and they knew it behind the scenes they told me that it concerned them that science wasn't meeting us on the battlefield they were hoping they could rally some of them to engage us it didn't work science did everything they could to avoid the topic to pretend that it wasn't there and that people weren't listening Shane Dawson one of the largest channels on YouTube made a single Flat Earth video in 2018 and it now has 32 million hits Shane's demographic is under 20 what is science going to do to stop that nothing because it's not a real topic remember it's nothing when Jaron and globe busters and Karen B and Effy Corps convinced people with long distance laser tests when Rob Skiba does weather balloon tests when Jay Tolan media does daytime infrared photography don't worry about it as we look at boats that refuse to go over the horizon as we turn heads with street activism there's a group called globe lie who already finished a town to town tour in the UK and 2019 right now they are still on tour touring every country in Europe and we're just getting started 20:19 is the year of Flat Earth conventions this year alone we had events in Los Angeles New Zealand Calgary Stockholm UK Amsterdam South Carolina Brazil and Dallas Texas every month I hear the globalists say that Flat Earth is fading away this is the cover of Newsweek from June of this year note the Flat Earth thing in the bottom and they're actually pumping up the globe to make it round cover of Newsweek I think that's a fluke this is the cover of popular science right now on newsstands you could go buy on the newsstand right now oh don't get me wrong they hate us why we're out there that magazine has been published for 147 years and I know you can't see it very well but just below the s in science it says literally this is a weird one they gave us an eight-page spread when they described me in it did they call me goofy or warm or instantly disarming no does anyone know how they described me yes that's right baby-faced that's what they used so in honor of that anyone in fact we'll we'll figure out well my god I'm gonna rat time before this is over I'll make sure I give out a couple copies of this some people oh let's see here this is my message in science what is Flat Earth well you better figure it out quick because we're bringing the fight to you we become one of the most trending topics in the world with almost no resources and we did it in four years we can break down your space videos your images and you better believe we're going after your theories because that's what most of them are just theories it's 2019 sorry that's the one I was supposed to come to and now we have an army laughter channel rising - six figures on YouTube jaren ISM Rob's Kiva celebrate truth controversy seven red pill philosophy OD D reality and the five figure channels I've literally lost count channels dedicated against NASA channels dedicated to experiments channels dedicated to debates against globalist channels dedicate to activism so many different facets it feels more like a school than an invasion force but doesn't that make sense because every great army has an academy behind it and we've created one from the sheer volume of our online content make no mistake Flat Earth University is very different from other universities based on scientism they will tell you that we're on a tiny rock flying through an impossible universe and that your life means virtually nothing we will gently remind you that this incredible world and everything and it was built just for you because you are special valuable and unique they will tell you that science is true whether or not you believe in it - never question the status quo and never revisit old theories we encourage people to not take our word for it but instead do their own research and question everything they will tell you to abandon your religion your faith because it has no place among scientists no religious demands whatever your faith is keep it because the very nature of Flat Earth implies that it was built which means by default there was a creator and the great thing about Flat Earth University is you can take courses from anywhere anytime at your own pace no matter what your occupation or lifestyle is there is no there are no exams and we have thousands of instructors all learning from each other every day we don't just inform people of new observations we open minds and when they are open that enthusiasm becomes infectious Flat Earth isn't a theory it is part of the Great Awakening one that will eventually define our civilization and our legacy in closing you better get to the mic fast you're gonna ask questions because I got like five minutes they might give me eight I'd like to remind people of my mission statement my name is Mark Sargent and I'm a proud flat earther it is my addiction my own healthy obsession and next to my dear mother it is my favorite thing in life it is everywhere just waiting for you to discover it the people involved are kind sincere and most importantly open minded I'm hoping that you will find what I have knowledge truth and love for each other the way the world was always supposed to be the globe is already dead they just don't know it yet long live Flat Earth thank you all right we have time for a few questions anybody's up at the microphone even if you line up at the microphone gets an Illuminati card anybody that has Illuminati card with an X or an O after this is done I can't see I do think as you know we've been going after NASA pretty hard for the last four or five years and we've been pushing them I've got mixed feelings because it seems like it's happening naturally anyway I was watching you know the astronaut scott Kelly feel free to boot here there we go Scott Kelly has been because he's touring with his new book and every time I see him now he keeps saying that by the way that the earth is round and he's doing that deliberately because people keep bugging him we have our members that are accosting I'm basically on a regular basis which is great asking NASA to prove it we could do crowdfunding to you know to try to get him to push in that direction but I think it's happening naturally anyway I mean I've NASA is feeling the heat we know that I mean they're talking about oh yeah we're going to the moon again and they're trying to do it.
