‘Flat Earth’ Message Apparently Behind Hillside Graffiti
cbs2la ^

Posted on 02/15/2017 4:28:20 PM PST by BenLurkin

The words “Google Flat Earth” were found carved into Mount Rubidoux this week in letters that were approximately ten feet tall and visible from the air.

An aerial photo posted to social media by the Riverside Police Department’s air support unit showed only the “Google” portion of the message was still discernible as of Feb. 4.

While the Riverside Parks Department brought in crews from a CAL FIRE camp in Norco to re-seed the area so the grass can grow and cover up the letters, a man believed to be behind the message reportedly encountered a city employee at the location Monday.

He was wearing an orange construction-style vest and carrying a shovel and pick, city parks director Adolfo Cruz told the Press-Enterprise.

“The gentleman was telling the staff member that we live on a flat earth,” the report quoted Cruz as saying.

Isn’t Mt. Rubidoux demonstrably not flat?

The sun is round.
The moon is round.
But the earth is flying through space like a fecking Frisbee.

I've seen postings from flat earthers online here and there. They're even nuttier than global warmists.

Was his name, Nathan Thompson?

I cannot even wrap my head around that concept.

Some people are taking “How stupid are you?” as a personal challenge, apparently.

Sheesh.

UNBELEIVABLE HORIZONS

Things that make you go...WTF!!! How is that possible?!

They're even nuttier than global warmists.

You've both known me for some time.
Am I nuts for looking into something and posting evidence of what I find?

Strait of Dover does NOT show any Earth curvature (but should!)

Have you really looked into Flat Earth yourself?
Global warming skeptics looked into things and look at what they found out...they had been artfully lied to for decades.

Cognitive dissonance? Too scared to upend your belief system?
Too conditioned to believe the lies you've been told?

I question everything. All I have is more questions.

Look at what everyday people are capturing with their Nikon P900 cameras and ask yourself how they're able to do that on a ball Earth.

28 Mile Zoom with Nikon p900

View with Nikon p900 from Chestnut Ridge State Park in Orchard Park, NY. Shows a close up of Niagara Falls, Ontario skyline, and a view of Buffalo, NY. According to GPS coordinate calculations, Niagara Falls, Ontario is 28 miles from where the video was shot.

Got a quick question for you there Phil old buddy...

Let’s say you’re correct and the earth is flat.

What’s on the bottom side?

Vsauce makes the assumption that the "disc Earth" spins. Does he prove it does indeed spin?

And as far as "falling off the edge"...maybe he should look at what is really at the edge...


To put the ice shelf in perspective...

You gonna climb it so you can sail over it?

However, you can detect the curve of the Earth from ground level at the coast with a pair of binoculars – just look for distant ships on the horizon and you’ll see that their hulls start to disappear before their masts and other superstructure.

HAHAHAHAHAHA...that's what people are disproving with their P900's!

Naked eye, binoculars and then strong zoom lens.
Each time you increase magnification you can still see the hull!

Want a video or can you find one?

I'll give you this in the mean time...Nikon P900 Superzoom: Flat Earth and The Invisible Lake Pontchartrain Causeway

Joshua 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

He didn't ask that the Earth stop spinning, did he.
