GLOBEBUSTERS (Bob Knodel) - flat Earth advocate FAIL
Dear Readers,
Update: January 30, 2020:
Bob Knodel now wants to make flat Earth a religion...
FLAT EARTH✝️RELIGIFICATION✝️- Bob Knodel (Word Salad Champion 2017) vs His Messiah Complex,
by TROLL vs TROLL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQTUS0ebv0U
Starting at time mark:1:40,
Bob Knodel says, “I was thinking of more along the lines of first amendment enforcement (for protection from criticism). Right. Flat Earth is absolutely, unequivocally, the most bullied, badgered, made fun of, maligned, I mean you name it, if it’s bad it applies to flat Earth.
"So as many people know, if you say anything against religion, Judaism or anything like that, I mean the powers that be come down on you like a sledge hammer.
"Essentially, so I’m thinking to myself if we were to actually get serious and make this into a religion, and claim it under a religious context, then YouTube, we could literally go after them on a legal basis, and even get representation for free from organizations that do this. Under a right of religious freedom. Right. It’s like oh they are discriminating against us because we believe the earth is flat. We believe in some instances the Bible … (voice garbled area) …. literal about the cosmology. So we have Biblical backing. … The more I think about it, I think this is really a good idea to combat our adversaries in this. … I can’t see a drawback to it …”
Note: listening to Bob Knodel was Iru Landucci, Jeran Campanella and Rodrigo Ferrari-Nunes.

Atmospheric refraction allows the Sun and Moon to still be visible in the sky, for a short time after they have really set. That is why the Sun and Moon (at full moon phase) can both be seen in the sky at the same time. It's not because the Earth is flat.

FECORE flat Earth $20,000 gyro BOONDOGGLE
FECORE spent $20,000 on a gyroscope, that they hoped would prove the Earth to be flat. However, the results they got did not line up with their expectations. They therefore tried to crush this news.
The following video with FECORE Board member Bob Knodel captures Bob talking about their fiasco. Here is the text from that video...

"I have proved there’s no curvature and if we can do that it’s game over, but the rotation is not looking good at this point. We don’t want to blow this, you know. And they’ve got $20,000 in this freaking gyro. Better yeah. If we dumped what we found right now we would be, it'd be bad."

Update: November 13, 2018
Bob Knodel caught lying about his aviation credentials (as uncovered by Wolfie6020).
Back in April 2018 Bob was quoted (see below) as being a "commercial/instrument/MEL licensed pilot."
In the Globebusters video (Flat Earth - Mathematics and Pilot and Planes, Oh My) that they just deleted, Bob said "myself ... as a commercial pilot..."
Did this prominent Flat Earther lie about being a Commercial Pilot?, by Wolfie6020
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjqOzimCz7A&t=482s)
But here at the official FAA site, Robert Knodel is listed as only holding a certificate as a Private Pilot, and his medical class = Third, was issued in 1978. Wolfie6020 points out that a commercial pilot needs to have a medical class rating of 1 or 2.
=> proof that Bob Knodel is not, or has ever been, a commercial pilot (as he had claimed). He is only an amateur private pilot with a single engine rating. The last time he did a medical was 40-years ago.
So now today (November 13, 2018) as a cover up, they have deleted the reference as a commercial pilot...
So now the question is, did the members of FECORE and Globebusters know that Bob Knodel was not a commercial pilot?
If yes, they are complicit with the deception.
If no, then one of their own has deceived them.
What others surprises are there?

Bob calls people who debunk his work nasty names and government paid agents...
Because Sly Sparkane challenged Bob Knodel to prove Bob's own assertion, that the equatorial mount (telescope mount with axis pointing at the north pole) works everywhere on a flat Earth.
Here is the challenge to Bob Knodel. Bob Knodel refuses to take it.
Link to the video shown below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEttSEmfOqg
"Flat Out" YouTube channel scolds Bob Knodel for making statements without ever having experimented himself to see what is correct.
PS: - The equatorial mount does work correctly (follow the stars across the sky as they naturally move from East to West everyday) ONLY AT THE NORTH POLE. It does not work from any other flat Earth location.
The equatorial mount accurately tracks stars across the sky FOR ALL LOCATON ON THE EARTH. That is because we live on a globe and spin on an axis (23.5-degrees) pointed at the North Pole star Polaris.

Bob Knodel flat Earther (FECORE, GlobeBusters) – claims that “first of all we know there is no pandemic. There’s nobody dying from it. There’s the stats, there they’re literally just making it up…and even if it's a real thing...”
JonahTheScientist says, "here is more evidence that flat Earther's are delusional."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omc5EXwxF8Q&list=WL
Starting at time mark 56:15, Bob Knodel says...
"That’s not the only cure (antimalarial) either here… They said there is video coming out that actually came from the World Health Organization that they say that the corona virus cannot survive in a temperature above 135 degrees Fahrenheit and so what they‘re recommending that people do and they say this actually works and it’s been tried everywhere and this came from the WHO is if you literally, you take a blow dryer right and turn it on high heat and inhale the hot air, what it does it gets into your mucus membranes and your sinuses and very shortly the corona virus actually collapses and dies. And this is true with a lot of these so called viruses that it kills. And this came from the WHO. I can show you the docs here in a second
First of all we know there is no pandemic. There’s nobody dying from it. There’s the stats, there they’re literally just making it up, and even it was a real thing and it probably is at some level it’s easily defeated by what Iru Landucci is doing with the Chlorine dioxide or simply heating it to a temperature that it can’t survive at, that it collapses at …
It’s not the virus itself that we have to worry about, it’s the agenda behind it. That’s what everybody should be looking at."

Response to Globebusters - The Earth Still Isn't Flat, by Professor Dave Explains
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDy95_eNPzM
Last week I posted a video about how we know the Earth is round, from the perspective of modern astronomy. The Flat Earth community did not like it one bit, and the channel "Globebusters" decided to talk for three hours on their livestream about how stupid my video is, and how stupid I am. I didn't really appreciate that, so I decided to make a video about their video to illustrate precisely how little they know about science, and to further reinforce how utterly absurd the Flat Earth "model" is, as well as some of the finer points about the conspiracy. Enjoy!

He (Bob Knodel) clearly stated it was picking up motion on three axes and what I’m going to do in this video is show you very clearly that for a gyro located in North America on a rotating globe that is precisely what it would register. And the way he described the motion with his hand is exactly what the gyro would be rotating on a globe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJOaBGAgyhw
Wolfie6020 said…
The reason a gyro, mounted level, at a latitude that is not the North or the South Pole, will register three axis of motion is because it is not polar aligned. If you were to polar align it, it would register one axis of motion.
So the Earth is indeed rotating.

Flat Earth | Space Suits Are Fake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sav3imnHQE
Flat Earthers believe space is fake. So that means spacecraft, space stations, space suits etc. are all fake too. They use the perceived "strength" and "sucking power" of a vacuum as their proof. As usual, like a vacuum, their proofs come to nothing.
StupidMonkey says, "This bottle was designed to keep pressure contained, not maintain a lower internal pressure. And that’s the same as the train car, and the spacesuit, and the International Space Station. They’re simply not designed to contain a vacuum.
Flat Earthers got it the wrong way around, and those sort of videos prove nothing."

Now that flat Earth traction is waning in the world, many of those same conspiracy channels are showing their endorsement of other connivances.
Globebusters back views presented by Spacebusters and others...
Spacebusters now going from flat Earth denial to supporting multiple other conspiracy theories. That highlights their delusional world view (of many topics) and that their flat Earth rants are disingenuous - crafted to fit the current mistrust and fear in American society. Fanning the flames of conspiracy is harmful to everyone.
Excerpt from the video (PART 2: ATLANTIS RISING):
"So beside the world’s largest gold silver and ivory deposit why has Atlantis been hidden from us? Because the entire control system matrix we are enslaved under today is solely built on one giant lie – that stems from deleting the history of Atlantis …
… Heliocentric fraud, the Jesuits, and lastly we are going to propose that Atlantis did not sink 12,000 years ago but rather not even a thousand years ago and that we may very well see it rise again in our lifetime"

International Space Station at 15: First Construction
Space shuttle Endeavour flew the first construction mission for the International Space Station in December 1998, with Bob Cabana in command. Carrying the Unity node, Endeavour and its crew of astronauts and cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev rendezvoused with the Russian-made Zarya module in orbit and connected the two together to form the cornerstone of a structure that would grow to dwarf all other spacecraft and space stations. Fifteen years later, the orbiting laboratory has hosted dozens of astronauts and cosmonauts from all over the world to fulfill its mission of providing a permanent human presence in orbit.

This video captures the launch-to-ISS-undocking highlights of STS-133 as the space shuttle Discovery flies its final mission.

STS-135 Daily Mission Recap - Flight Day 5
A video recap of flight day 5 of the STS-135 mission of space shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station.
International Space Station: 1998 to Present
In 1998, the first two modules of the International Space Station were launched and joined together in orbit. Other modules soon followed and the first crew arrived in 2000. The journey continues.
Assembly of the International Space Station
The process of assembling the International Space Station (ISS) has been under way since the 1990s. Zarya, the first ISS module, was launched by a Proton rocket on 20 November 1998. The STS-88 Space Shuttle mission followed two weeks after Zarya was launched, bringing Unity, the first of three node modules, and connecting it to Zarya. This bare 2-module core of the ISS remained uncrewed for the next one and a half years, until in July 2000 the Russian module Zvezda was launched by a Proton rocket, allowing a maximum crew of two astronauts or cosmonauts to be on the ISS permanently.
The ISS has a pressurized volume of approximately 1,000 cubic metres (35,000 cu ft), a mass of approximately 420,000 kilograms (930,000 lb), approximately 100 kilowatts of power output, a truss 108.4 metres (356 ft) long, modules 74 metres (243 ft) long, and a crew of six. Building the complete station required more than 40 assembly flights. As of 2020, 36 Space Shuttle flights delivered ISS elements. Other assembly flights consisted of modules lifted by the Falcon 9, Russian Proton rocket or, in the case of Pirs and Poisk, the Soyuz-U rocket.
Some of the larger modules include:
- Zarya (launched 20 November 1998)
- Unity Module (launched 4 December 1998, also known as Node 1)
- Zvezda (launched 12 July 2000)
- Destiny Laboratory Module (launched 7 February 2001)
- Harmony Module (launched 23 October 2007, also known as Node 2)
- Columbus orbital facility (launched 7 February 2008)
- Japanese Experiment Module, also known as Kibo (launched in multiple flights between 2008–2009)
- The truss and solar panels are also a large part of the station. (launched in multiple flights between 2000–2009)

Yes, the Earth rotates on it's axis...
and that causes an outward centrifugal force...
and that same centrifugal force causes a "bulge" in the shape of the Earth. That is why we refer to the Earth as an oblate spheroid.
and the bulge of the Earth changes the net direction of the centrifugal force acting on the surface...
and so...
Fact check = Dave fails.
So we don't even "slightly" feel ourselves pulled in the direction of the equator. That's why the force of gravity is "directly downward" to the center of the Earth. It has accurately been measured as such.

“You have to have a much larger pitch than what is showing here. You guys can probably see my little hand here. And this is a very very very mild pitch and this is almost ridiculous to be honest with you. This should have something that should be two to three times this easily.
It’s just one of the first thing that I noticed when I looked at this thing is how ridiculously mild the pitch of this these propeller blades are.
Wolfie6020 said,
So it’s not ridiculous Bob. That low amount of pitch is because it is a collective pitch helicopter sitting on the ground. When it comes time to lift off the pitch on those blades will increase by two, three, and even four times to generate the lift required. You can see very clearly the swashplate in this image too. So how could you not know the basic operation of a coaxial helicopter?

Believe this or not, Bob thinks if left alone, Helium gas will end up sitting on the floor in the bottom of a container - at least he admits gravity exists!

Don't start none, won't be none" is a bit of advice the @GLOBEBUSTERS chose to ignore. In this hour-long video, I show these so-called truthseekers for what they truly are: ignorant hacks, with no respect for science or the intelligence of their viewers.
They really shouldn't have come at me.
That's @jeranism @GLOBEBUSTERS 2 @Witsit Gets It @Unintended Consequences

From Zoom Truth
DITRH & GLOBEBUSTERS LYING PSYCHO's (David Weiss and Bob Knodel EXPOSED), by Zoom Truth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoVCh-YtBLM
"Dave Hicks here. Zoom truth. I had to put together this video in response to the latest attack on not only the "Flat Earth People Finder" but the reputation of flat head politics and even myself.
David Weiss is a lair, straight up.
Bob Knodel (Globebusters) is a lair, straight up.
Karen B. is a lair, straight up.
Jeranism is a lair, straight up.
It's sad. I really liked all those people... And agenda is at play - to discredit the Flat Earth People Finder and me.
I started working with William on a new version of the Flat Earth People Finder on May 13, 2019. By October I determined I didn't want to work with William any longer and Dave Weiss' crew. Unfortunately I didn't get any screen shots of how they created the Fla Earth People Finder, but basically it looked like a website for David Weiss' DITRH..."

Yes Bob is back and this time he is trying to refute the images from the James Webb telescope. The trouble is, he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about, as usual.
Watch as he and his team confuse each other with ease!
Thanks for watching.

It’s important to point out that no POSITIVE PROOF has ever been presented as evidence that the Earth is flat. Only negative irrational and unscientific theories have been exhibited.
All attempts to prove the Earth is flat are based upon efforts to cast doubt on the validity of scientific data that clearly demonstrates that the Earth is a globe - rather than showing proof of flatness.
POSITIVE PROOF you need to provide for us:
A real photograph taken from an elevation of 500 miles or more above the surface of the Earth, that clearly shows the Earth is flat.
A real photograph taken of the flat Earth edge.
If no edge, then a real photograph of the infinite expanse.
If no infinite expanse, then a real photograph of the dome.
If no dome, then at least 1,000 photos of the 25,000 mile long impenetrable ice wall.
If no ice wall, then a real photograph of the lost civilizations that are there.
If no lost civilizations, then what is your next guess?
