The following is the flyer that the Flat Earth Society sends to

International Flat Earth Research Society
known as
FLAT EARTH SOCIETY
Charles K. Johnson, President
Marjory Waugh Johnson, Sec.
Telephone: (805) 727-1635
PO Box 2533, Lancaster, CA 93539
Aim: To carefully observe, think freely rediscove forgotten
fact and oppose theoretical dogmatic assumptions. To help
establish the United States...of the the world on this flat
earth. Replace the science religion...with SANITY
The International Flat Earth Society is the oldest
continuous Society existing on the world today. It began with
the Creation of the Creation. First the water...the face of the
deep...without form or limits...just Water. Then the Land
sitting in and on the Water, the Water then as now being flat
and level, as is the very Nature of Water. There are, of
course, mountains and valleys on the Land but since most of the
World is Water, we say, "The World is Flat." Historical
accounts and spoken history tell us the Land part may have been
square, all in one mass at one time, then as now, the magnetic
north being the Center. Vast cataclysmic events and shaking no
doubt broke the land apart, divided the Land to be our present
continents or islands as they exist today. One thing we know
for sure about this world...the known inhabited world is Flat,
Level, a Plain World.
We maintain that what is called 'Science' today and
'scientists' consist of the same old gang of witch doctors,
sorcerers, tellers of tales, the 'Priest-Entertainers' for the
common people. 'Science' consists of a weird, way-out occult
concoction of jibberish theory-theology...unrelated to the real
world of facts, technology and inventions, tall buildings and
fast cars, airplanes and other Real and Good things in life;
technology is not in any way related to the web of idiotic
scientific theory. ALL inventors have been anti-science. The
Wright brothers said: "Science theory held us up for years.
When we threw out all science, started from experiment and
experience, then we invented the airplane." By the way,
airplanes all fly level on this Plane earth.
Our Society of Zetetics have existed for at least 6,000
years, the extent of recorded history. Extensive writing from
1492 b.c. We have been and are the Few, the Elite, the Elect,
who use Logic Reason are Rational. Summed up, we are Sane and/
or have Common Sense as contrasted to the "herd" who is
unthinking and uncaring. We have absorbed the Universal Zetetic
Society of America and Great Britian, ZION U.S.A., the work of
Alexander Dowie 1888, Wilber Glen Voliva 1942, Samuel Shenton,
Lillian J. Shenton of England 1971. Zetetic: from Zeto, to seek
and search out; Prove, as contrasted to theoretic which means
to guess, to hope, to suppose, but NOT to 'prove'. Science
'proves' earth a 'ball' by 'scripture' words. We PROVE earth
Flat by experiment, demonstrated and demonstrable. Earth Flat
is a Fact, not a 'theory'!
Our aim is not to 'disturb the herd' or wreck the
Government, but rather to be an aid to the Elite Human Being in
coming to KNOW earth flat...to then FREE his or her mind from
such blind unreasoning 'theory-superstition' and so go on "to
carefully observe...think freely...rediscover forgotten facts
and oppose theoretical dogmatic assumptions." As Sir Fields,
owner of newspapers in England, has said about us, "They are
the Last pocket of individual Thinkers in English speaking
world."
I sometimes call myself the Last Iconclast. Science is a
false religion, the opium of the masses. I myself count it as a
begining of Sanity to confess 'the creation proves there was a
Creator' so a God or Creator...Exists. From a life-time of
study, of seeking out a proving things, from the study of 6,000
years of recorded history, from observation, from experience,
from Common Sense Observation, have concluded the 10
Commandments are in fact good Laws of Living and Behavior for
oneself and all in contact with you...truley 'Laws of Physics
for Living.' That is my opinion. The Fact the Earth is Flat is
not my opinion, it is a Proved Fact. Also demonstrated Sun and
Moon are about 3,000 miles away are both 32 miles across. The
Planets are 'tiny.' Sun and Moon do Move, earth does NOT move,
whirl, spin or gyrate. Australians do NOT hang by their feet
under the world...this is a FACT, not a theory! Also a Fact the
Spinning, Whirling, Gyrating Ball World Planet, Globe Idea is
Entirely 100% now and at all times in the Past, a RELIGIOUS
DOCTRINE...a Blind Dogmatic Article of Faith in the Religion
for the Blind unreasoning beast of prey. No earthly reason for
a Sane, Upright Member of the Elite Elect Humans to subscribe
to it. Also a Fact, today the Elite of Earth ALL live on the
Flat World. Only the illogical, unreasoning "herd"...prefers
the way-out occult weird theology of the old Greek
superstitution earth a spinning ball! Both Copernecious and
Newton, the inventors of the "modern" superstitions (400 year
OLD modern) have said: "It is not possible for a Sane
reasonable person to ever really believe these Theories." Thus
sayeth Newton-Copernecious. What sayeth THOU?
