Note: Having watched a couple COVID videos from the Spacebusters Channel, and having found them excellent (a couple were recommended in the comments to my last post), I then realized something. Since Dr. Cowan appears in several of the vids, I wrote him this email. (The ‘William Casey quote’ — Casey was CIA chief under Ronald Reagan — I refer to is Casey having said to Reagan ‘We’ll know when our disinformation campaign is complete when everything the American public believes is false.’)
Dr. Cowan,
I’m writing a paper based on your use of the William Casey quote — and in it I ‘picked a subject’ as you suggested. The thing has grown in the telling…. but I’m writing now b/c I’m confused about something.
The ‘Spacebuster’ channel has produced some pretty good COVID videos (IMO and based on 
what I’ve learned from you), and in which you and Dr Kaufman appear. So far so good. Thing is, I just this morning realized that Spacebusters is also a flat earth channel (or done by the same people who do flat earth videos).
what I’ve learned from you), and in which you and Dr Kaufman appear. So far so good. Thing is, I just this morning realized that Spacebusters is also a flat earth channel (or done by the same people who do flat earth videos). I know the earth is a sphere from personal experience. I lived on a sailboat and crossed the Atlantic under sail before the days of GPS. I used a sextant and sight reduction tables, chronometer, etc. to fix my position. This would not work on a flat earth. (I’ve also many times ‘dipped the light’, which demonstrates the curve.) My research into the FE movement has told me that the slick FE sites are all disinformation by the same PTB that have given us COVID.
I dunno but this would include Spacebusters, like this one (click the title):

Point being, I don’t know what to make of Spacebusters putting out good info on the ‘pandemic’. IS IT GOOD INFO?
This is how I fly the flag over my rig. Upside down means distress.
You once talked about the helio vs geo centric theories in an odd way (I thought). Do you have doubts about the sphere earth? I assume not but have to ask.
Here’s one of my FE debunking videos, wherein i show that this clown is a govt stooge (in passing I also show that the earth is a sphere):

More evidence that FE is a psy op can be found in the comments; it’s full of nonsense …. you can tell these are not ‘real’ people.
Sorry for bothering you on this, but I often have self doubts about what is true and who to trust. Like now.

In my upcoming paper I also deal with the word ‘everything’ in the Casey quote and how flat earthers use it (‘We’re being lied to about everything therefore the earth is flat and so forth) and add that they don’t believe anything unless they see it with their own eyes.
I have replied with the query, ‘Do you believe the island of Madegascar exists?’ And ‘Yes? Have you seen it?’ And so on. [End of Email]
I haven’t heard back, and he didn’t answer my previous email. Here is that one:Dr. Tom,
I’m writing an open letter to you (which will go on my blog), and which I hope you find interesting (or at least you can get through), but meanwhile — having re-re-viewed many of your podcasts – I have a suggestion, based on what turned me to your side back in the spring of 2020.
The 1918 Boston study that showed that the ‘Spanish flu’ was not person-to-person contagious. You pointed this out, I looked into it myself and boom, it really did it for me. I never looked back.
I would suggest this might work for others as well. Although you have mentioned it, I suggest you do so more often. 
Folks can find it online by searching for ‘Harvard Magazine Boston Spanish Flu study’…. (it’s also of course in The Invisible Rainbow, which I thank you for recommending.)

Suggest they go to the last few paragraphs, and note that neither Harvard nor the study ‘scientists’ in 1918 understood the study results at all. In a historical sense, this study says it all: Whatever it was IT WAS NOT CONTAGIOUS. Holy shit. (Why hasn’t a study of this sort been done for COVID, is an obvious question.) I can picture this leading to one of your great and easy-going rants
An indication of a spherical earth is the curved shadow on the moon.
Thank you for everything you do. Big time.

I didn’t hear back, which is okay since I didn’t ask a question. But still…
So we’ll see if he answers the top one. Me, I try to always respond to emails (‘over the transom’ or not) if appropriate.
Okay, around noon (Sunday) I got a ‘reply’:
‘hi thanks, and i’ll leave this up to you to sort out, thats always the best, Tom’
Having learned so much from Dr. Cowan, I’ll assume he was just having a bad day (and for some reason decided to ruin mine).
But okay, he has asked us all to ‘Pick a Subject’ about HTWRW, get expert enough to debate anyone on it, and send it to him for possible inclusion on his podcast. (How this fits with his email is an open question.)
But this is what my next few posts will be.
