In Californië zetelt de Flat Earth Society. Deze houdt zich bezig met onderzoek dat dient te bewijzen dat de aarde plat is. Het leek mij een goede gedachte dit genootschap aan het woord te laten in dit lustrumboek. Er werd wat voorzichtig gereageerd op ons verzoek maar later stemde men toe. Hier volgt eerst een passa ge uit een wervingsfolder waarna een artikel is opgenomen van de hand van de president van het genootschap, de heer Charles K. Johnson. The International Flat Earth Society is het 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 shakings 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 Plane World. We maintain that what is called 'Science' today and 'scientists' consist of the same old gang of witch doctors, sorceres, tellers of tales, the 'Priests-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 even 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 re corded history. There is extensive writing from 1492 b.c. We have been and are the Few, the Elite, the Elect, who use Logic Reasons and 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 Britain, ZION U.S.A. 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, demon- 298
