    International Flat Earth Research Society

           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?
