Adherents argue whole-Earth images are composites, CGI, or fisheye and that long-distance shore/skyline photos prove a plane—citing Apollo 17 AS17-148-22727 Blue Marble (7 Dec 1972), later NASA Blue Marble mosaics openly labeled composites, and Joshua Nowicki’s Chicago-from-Michigan skyline photos (~2015–2017).

In October 1924, days before Britain went to the polls, newspapers published a letter supposedly signed by Grigory Zinoviev of the Communist International. It urged British Communists—and by implication Labour’s left—to prepare revolutionary work and to push Anglo-Soviet agreements toward subversion.

Critics including Antonio Ribera and Jesús Beorlegui argued in El secreto de Urantia (Obelisco, 1988) and in Interviú-era coverage that large passages of J. J. Benítez's Caballo de Troya saga derive from The Urantia Book and Ummo letters without attribution; Benítez denies plagiarism—making the dispute a textual-criticism and Spanish media case, not proof of USAF time travel.

In 1979 J. J. Benítez packaged Spanish witness storms into Tempestad en Bonanza and related Televisión Española Operación OVNI collaboration—capturing his hinge from newspaper investigator to mass-media ufologist on the eve of the Manises book and the Caballo era.

On the Old Bedford River in the Cambridgeshire Fens, Samuel Rowbotham (1838) reported a boat flag remaining visible over roughly six miles from a low telescope; John Hampden’s 1870 wager, Wallace’s theodolite redesign, Oldham’s 1901 photographs, and modern laser restages keep the canal at the center of flat-Earth experimental citation.

After Samuel Shenton’s death, Charles K. Johnson ran IFERS of America and Covenant People’s Church from Lancaster, California, issuing Flat Earth News, claiming peak membership near 3,500, and giving NASA/Hollywood moonshot-fraud form to American flat-Earth culture until his death on 19 Mar 2001.

Wilbur Glenn Voliva, General Overseer of Zion, Illinois’s Christian Catholic community, preached a flat Earth in *Leaves of Healing*, directed church schools against globular astronomy, and broadcast on station WCBD beginning in 1923. Commerce Department and Federal Radio Commission monitoring treated WCBD as a sectarian specialty station. Digitized Zion serials and radio-history research doors document that institutional reception under contested clearance; the page refuses science-dismiss baptism.

On 4 December 2016, Edgar Maddison Welch of Salisbury, N.C., entered Comet Ping Pong armed, fired shots, and searched for what online Pizzagate material said was a child-trafficking dungeon. He found none and was arrested—turning an online theory into a street event.

Public murals and Instagram-era imagery associated with Comet Ping Pong and owner James Alefantis became a 2016 symbol-mapping claim-set. Artist Arrington de Dionyso and clarifying reporting deny trafficking readings; the U.S. v. Welch complaint records an armed entry motivated by those stories. The Archive documents the public images and claim-set beside artist/court doors without baptizing basement trafficking or erasing that the images circulated—under contested / L3 living-person care.

Soviet *aktivnyye meropriyatiya* named influence operations beyond classic espionage. U.S. Active Measures Working Group reporting entered presidential paperwork via a 1983 FRUS memorandum on State Special Report No. 110; CIA CSI’s INFEKTION study documents one AIDS-origin disinformation campaign; Mitrokhin/ISC and a 2019 State disinformation report supply custody and continuity without turning the phrase into incense.

Former MI5 officer Peter Wright’s Spycatcher memoirs triggered UK confidence litigation, an Australian High Court refusal to enforce foreign secrecy interests (1988), House of Lords rulings on lifelong duty versus futile continuing injunctions after worldwide publication, and ECHR Article 10 review of injunction timing. Memoir allegations are not judicial findings.

Disk models cast Antarctica as a circumferential ice wall; in December 2024 pastor Will Duffy’s The Final Experiment took flat- and globe-leaning YouTubers to Union Glacier (14–17 Dec) to observe a 24-hour sun—press recorded Jeran Campanella’s 'sometimes you are wrong' remarks while ice-wall geography claims persist in movement media.

On 11 September 2001 BBC World (and CNN) aired reports that World Trade Center Building 7 had collapsed or was collapsing before the ~17:20 EDT fall. BBC Editors blogs by Richard Porter (2007) deny advance scripts and frame any premature report as error amid wire confusion. NIST’s NCSTAR 1A attributes WTC 7’s collapse to fire-induced progressive collapse, not explosives. The Archive documents the timing claim and both institutional replies under contested/L2 without baptizing “BBC knew demolition” or dismissing the timing as trivial.

Church Committee-era testimony and later memoirs describe extensive CIA relationships with journalists and media organizations; "Operation Mockingbird" as a single named worldwide control program remains partly documentary and partly later reconstruction.

A major flat-Earth faction reads Genesis 1, Job, and Psalms as a literal vaulted firmament over a stationary plane; public voices include Rob Skiba (TestingTheGlobe; FEIC; d. 13 Oct 2021), pastor Dean Odle, Edward Hendrie’s The Greatest Lie on Earth, and Zen Garcia’s Firmament (2016).

The primary moral justification used to rally public and congressional support for the 1990 Gulf War was entirely fabricated by a public relations firm.

An examination of the controversial document that has shaped discussions about global power structures and coordinated international influence for over a century.

Documented observations suggesting that public appearances by President Joe Biden may involve the use of body doubles or advanced animatronic technology.

Claims that Paul McCartney died in a car accident in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike named William Shears Campbell.
