Title: FEIC18 - Flat Earth International Conference, Denver, Colorado, 2018

For any flat-earthers who missed the 2017 Great American Eclipse, or who can't pass muster for the DEBATE online next month, maybe you'd prefer to rub elbows with like-minded flat-earthers in Denver this coming November! Hurry and get your reservations in because it's sure to sell out (or so they say).

ABOUT FEIC18

Who we are, and yes, we believe the earth is flat!

About the 2018 Flat Earth International Conference
 .
The Flat Earth International Conference is an educational endeavor composed of individuals and organizations uniting around the common purpose of the true scientific inquiry of the created earth.
.
Why?
.
Most people today subscribe to the espoused heliocentric globe model explanation of our cosmology, which contends that:
.
-- The earth spins at 1,040 miles per hour while traveling around the sun at 66,000 miles per hour;
--  meanwhile, the entire solar system moves through the milky way galaxy at 490,000 miles per hour
--  as the milky way galaxy darts through infinite space at over 1 million miles per hour
.
However, every experiment ever conducted to prove even the simple spin of the earth has failed!

.
Join us this November to learn why we dissent from the spinning heliocentric theory of cosmology. At the 2018 Flat Earth International Conference, we will uncover and debunk pseudo-scientific “facts” while presenting the true evidence which shockingly points to our existence on a flat, stationary plane.
.

About Us
.

The 2018 Flat Earth International Conference (FEIC) is the 2nd annual conference hosted by Kryptoz Media. FEIC features presenters from various backgrounds and belief systems who have each made an impact on the larger Flat Earth community. FEIC is not in any way affiliated with the Flat Earth Society.
.

FAQ:
.

“People still believe the earth is flat!?” We maintain that the earth is flat and stationary, but we weren’t born into this way of thinking. Like you, we grew up believing in a heliocentric globe-earth model. After extensive experimentation, analysis, and research, we have come to know that the truth of our cosmology is not that which we’ve been told.
 .

“Will I fall off of the edge?” No. Though there are varying models within the flat earth community, the most commonly depicted model of our earth is that of a circular disk with Antarctica serving as an ice wall barrier. Example:

(Image Credit: www.TestingTheGlobe.com)
.
“Is NASA lying?” We believe that government space agencies are taking creative liberties with your tax dollars and producing misleading materials. Did you know that all images of the earth which show a curved horizon or a spherical shape are:

Computer Generated Images (CGI, proven with photoshop programs and analysis),

Artistic Renderings (acknowledged by NASA), or 

Captured via fisheye/wide-angle curved lens (producing a curved appearance)*

Notice the fact that in their image depicting their "flat" earth, the light projected by the sun onto earth does not cast a pattern that has any similarity whatsoever with the observed pattern which defines our international time zones (time zones are not circular).

I honestly think this is the most important thing that flat earthers need to learn. If they were to understand this one thing, it would be so much harder for them to believe what they do. Suddenly the amount of things they have to claim are CGI skyrockets (pun intended) to include videos created by other flat earthers.

Nice demo.

I think gopro and adobe's software both include lens de-warping.  (Ideally you should have the  intrinsic camera parameters of the actual camera to do the correction, but the difference between the same model go pros are probably negligible).

+A Blatt The GoPro software allows you to adjust for the lens distortion when rendering videos.. And yes, it's best to have the post-production filter which is specifically designed for the camera.

+Sly Sparkane Good video. The thing is though, all camera's have different distortions. The flat earthers will claim it's inconclusive anyway unless it's filmed from a few 1000 miles altitude without fish-eye or wide angle lens.

Simple and to the point with those all important visual aids that flat earthers need because they don't like words:P
I'm not even going to bother looking at the Pro Pagan video as I already know what its going to be. Just him laughing, calling you an idiot, showing the images under the center, claiming they are proof for a flat earth, and then insulting all people who believe in the globe, followed by more laughing as he displays his own ignorance and completely misses the entire message in this video.

 What he has done is fascinating, he has essentially make a strawman argument by not showing high altitude film, by only using low altitude film where no one states you should see curve to begin with.

 It's a strawman wrapped up in another strawman !

oh and let me stuffeth a bit more straw.. All of the video footage has the horizon above the vertical center of the screen which is the point of my whole video... 

and to even adorn said strawman with a tasteful hat... the footage he showed is FROM GOPRO!!!!

Flat-earthdom syndromers might be slow but they eventually realize when what they said was stupid.
So "My Propaganda" deleted his own video when he saw everyone laughing at it!

What happened to FECore?
Fecore was a sponsor for the Denver conference (coming in November) but now they're nowhere to be seen on the FEIC site.
http://fe2018.com/sponsors/
.
But you can still buy tickets for the Denver conference using the FECORE website:
https://fecore.org/get-your-fe-convention-tickets-here/
.
Caution: I recommend you don't, though.
Because FECORE are a bunch of scammers and you'll probably never get admission to the conference; you'll just lose your money.
.

Oh -- this is hilarious --- Most every one of the speakers at the Denver conference has suffered great discredit in the past months.

Forget conferences, do your own research. Scripture and Church Fathers teach earth is flat and geocentric. If you don't know where to find the docuмents and statements, ask.

What do you mean, "your own research?" 
You have refused to do ANY research on your own.

You refuse to take even the first step in conducting even the most simple experiments.

Step right up!  It'sss
Flat Earth International Conference 2018
November 15-16 [·] Denver, CO

It's now been 2 full months since the advertised dates.


[...] and yes, we believe the earth is flat !

In the context of this reply (#7), "we" really means "they"; the pronoun does not include Neil Obstat nor AlligatorDicax.

Weeelll !?
Where are the conference trip-reports from flattist CathInfo members who attended, and are now freshly energized to convert the spherist masses?


<http://fe2018.com/ about/ (http://fe2018.com/)>

There are no updates on this Web site that provide any evidence that the conference ever happened.  In particular, the page <http://fe2018.com/news/ (http://fe2018.com/news/)>, which is the target of their "NEWS & UPDATES" link, is blank except for a routine header & footer.  Featured speakers ought to see a publicly & promptly posted expression of thanks for their role in making the conserence a success, assuming that it wasn't a failure.  It's surprising that fully 2 months after such a conference was scheduled to happen, not only would there be no podcasts of any conference sessions being offered for sale, but also none being at least promised.

Sooo, did the conference actually happen as advertised, or not ?
