Lie to Me
History is a set of lies that people have agreed upon. - Napoleon Bonaparte
Lies permeate our lives; so prevalent that we often take them for granted.
A 2014 article on telegraph.co.uk titled Lies have become an accepted part of British life, poll reveals , provides insight into their prevalence:
The average Briton tells more than 10 lies a week , with two fifths claiming fibs are ''sometimes necessary '', research has found.
Almost all Britons (91%) have told a lie at some point in their lives, with a quarter (25%) saying they will ''happily'' tell a fib if they think it will not hurt anyone, the survey for confused.com found.
The space between white lies and outright deception is a slippery slope.
From an early age, children are taught that Santa Claus is real. We are told that Santa watches over us, determines how naughty or nice weve been, and delivers gifts accordingly.
We are showered with lies before we have the capacity to think for ourselves .
Parents will often go to great lengths, and concoct elaborate stories, to maintain the tradition.
Passing from parents to children, the tradition of deception continues unabated.
The tradition of deception , sometimes referred to as the noble lie, is deeply embedded in our culture.
We eventually learn that Santa isnt real, while much larger lies persist.
The Big Lie
Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught falsehoods in school. And the person that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool. - Plato
Adolf Hitler, in his 1925 book Mein Kampf , explains that when it comes to lying, its best to go big:
All this was inspired by the principlewhich is quite true within itself that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie , since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods . It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously . Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation . For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying .
In 1941 Joseph Goebells, Hitlers Propaganda Minister for Nazi Germany, confirmed Hitlers message:
The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness . The English follow the principle that when one lies , one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.
The concept that the earth is a ball spinning through space is arguably the biggest lie ever told to mankind.
Not Everyone Believes the Earth is a Ball?
It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled. Mark Twain
Nikola Tesla, largely forgotten but responsible for many of the scientific breakthroughs which power our lives, describes a much different world than the one taught in schools:
Earth is a realm; it is not a planet. It is not an object ; therefore, it has no edge. Earth would be more easily defined as a system environment .
Some dismiss Tesla as a crackpot, dismissing the man responsible for many of the scientific breakthroughs which power our lives. Tesla founded the alternating-current (A.C.) engine - the electrical system powering energy grids throughout the world.
Beyond A.C. electricity, Tesla is arguably the founder of radio, Wi-Fi, and radar technology, among others. Tesla had an intimate understanding of how the earth works, and was able to apply his knowledge to real-world projects.
Irish playwright and Nobel Prize winner George Bernard Shaw also smelled a rat:
In the middle-ages people believed that the earth was flat, for which they had at least the evidence of their senses. We believe it to be round, not because as many as one percent of us could give physical reasons for so quaint a belief, but because modern science has convinced us that nothing that is obvious is true, and that everything that is magical, improbable, extraordinary, gigantic, microscopic, heartless, or outrageous is scientific.
The Flat Earth Model
The concept of a flat-earth is absurd to most, but the facts paint a much different picture.
The concept is straightforward: The earth is not spherical, but instead a stationary plane. There are hills, valleys, mountains, oceans, and deserts, but from one to the other - it is flat .
The United Nations logo is essentially a flat-earth map, as viewed from directly above.
Divided into sections, the North Pole resides in the center of the logo.
Antarctica is mysteriously absent from the logo, consistent with the flat-earth model.
Instead of Antarctica being a mysterious continent at the bottom of the earth, the flat-earth model views Antarctica instead as an ice barrier surrounding the worlds oceans.
The United Nations, on un.org , describes the original 1945 description of their logo:
A map of the world representing an azimuthal equidistant projection centred on the North Pole , inscribed in a wreath consisting of crossed conventionalized branches of the olive tree , in gold on a field of smoke-blue with all water areas in white. The projection of the map extends to 60 degrees south latitude, and includes five concentric circles.
Merriam-Webster.com defines azimuthal equidistant projection :
A map projection of the surface of the earth so centered at any given point that a straight line radiating from the center to any other point represents the shortest distance and can be measured to scale .
Consistent with the globe-earth model, the branches of the olive tree in the UN logo surround the worlds oceans. Traveling south from anywhere on earth will lead to Antarctica, consistent with the globe-earth model.
Other United Nations-related organizations, which rely on precise measurements and distances , also demonstrate a flat-earth.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have followed suit:
