Vendee Globe 2016 promotion must convince us Earth is a "Globe".



The following snapshot of the Vendee Globe 2016 officials struck me as, obviously, imposing-- but also contrived. You can almost see it written on the faces of the officials that they somehow know that they're merely hired shills in a hoax as big or possibly bigger than the Apollo moon landings. I simply have not been able to verify any of the previous yacht race statistics, routes, or people. Of course, I'm an amateur flat earth and fakeologist at this point, but still-- I'm fairly reasonable and well read. These folks have the unenviable "job", if Earth is indeed flat, of convincing us that the Earth is a "globe". Vendee Globe is promoted as a race of yachts from France, down around Antarctica and back up north through the Atlantic. I takes them about four months. They circle the bottom of the continents at about 60 degrees south latitude. Global Earth would be about 17,000 miles in circumference at that point. Flat Earth would be 4X that for around 50,000 miles. My numbers are likely off but the order of magnitudes are close. A trip around flat earth at that latitude should take 4X 4 months or 16 months or 1 1/2 to 2 years-- as it did Captain Cook at pointed out by Eric Dubay on his site Atlantean.com (I might have that wrong-- without checking but google dubay + atlantean and you should get it). 



I can't find the original source of the following map but it's a real good one. I'll keep looking. Looking at it carefully, it's fairly consistent with a lot of the suspicions that I've been having about the distance around Antarctica. I wonder what the fine print says? The resolutions isn't good enough and the angle is bad. Have all these old flat earth maps been destroyed or hidden by organizations like NSA, USGS, and NASA, Smithsonian (that hides conehead skulls)... ? They're fascinatig. You can see the level of detail on the one below. The images that stuck with me this morning were the Vendee Globe board, above and the map below. It's as if the committee we see above are indeed attempting to thwart any investigation into the map below by PRETENDING to run yachts around Antarctica-- using fake data dissemination to convince us all that that's what they're doing. Of course, fakeologists know that the layer of information between us regular people and these impressive events-- is USED- as a "transformation" area where we simply cannot verify the event for sure. We don't have enough RAW DATA, which is my continuing problem here in determining the length of the Antarctic coastline for sure. We're forced to used MEDIATED data, like Google earth or USGS data. Blogs by researchers have LITTLE data that is useful. I still cannot find data on air flight between science stations for example. All that data involves continental to station flights. 





Note that this "1st tour de monde" involved a route from France to South Africa, avoiding Australia... but touching New Zealand and then touching South America's tip before crossing the Atlantic again. I'm not sure what the source is referring to here...  De la Longue Route au Vendée Globe - Paperblog
What I find interesting about this map is that someone ran a route around Antarctica at... 40 to 50 S Latitude-- not 60 or 70... which mileage would be roughly 20,000 miles, 5,000 miles less than the 25,000 Global Earth circumference. It also suggests the the modern Vendee Globe race should have checkpoints at South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I don't recall that being the case. I think we're supposed to be relying on abstract data generated by unverifiable sources. A physical check in at the southern tips of continents would be a better to check in.





Compare the route and latitudes of the above map with the Vendee Globe 2016 map.

The route looks to be about 50 to 60 degrees south. They touch the tip of south America but there is no description of how to spot them from land. There is no way to check on any of the boats without relying on third party information.

  2. Wow, great-- thanks. I'll proceed on this. The FES forum did not translate the French. I think I have to. It's an excellent drawing I think, for the time.

    paying particular attention to the "suicide" in this hoax....
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Crowhurst
    Prior to the deception being revealed, Robin Knox-Johnston donated his winnings for fastest circumnavigation (£5,000) to Donald Crowhurst's widow and children.

    http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/apr/05/donald-crowhurst-lone-sailor
    For years after, Clare Crowhurst could not bring herself to discuss the loss of her husband, or his embarrassing hoax.
    Has she never thought of emigrating to Australia (where she owns property) or remarrying?....I really wasn't interested.


    Donald Charles Alfred Crowhurst died 1July 1969 of 35 Durleigh Road, Bridgwater, Somerset

    That's a might quick administration of his affairs where there was no body.

  5. How did they get away with this for so many years? Thanks again for the heads up. I might make a new blog page for this soon using your links.

  6. All u need to do I go on go fund me and try find a the first ever north south flight circumnavigating the earth. This will prove/disprove globe and it is time.

  7. That's a suicide mission if Earth is flat. I won't do it. Flying over the north pole and then south again over the south pole "line" would end up at the ice wall, right? But you can't report back. You can't return. You do it. I'll watch.

  8. Hello Rick, do you have anything to say regarding the Vendée Globe race currently underway? I was a convinced flat earther and expected this to be easily debunked by everyone, Eric Dubay, Jeranism, Mr Thrive and Survive etc.. But there is total silence on this. I live in France and everytime I mention flat earth, I get asked about the Vendée Globe. As you are the Flat Earth Antarctica specialist, I thought that you might have some ideas on how this can be explained. Thanks. Confiteor Deo

    1. I've been out of circulation on flat earth due to job and other practical life difficulties but I'll reconsider this race today and see what I can find out. Certainly I'm impressed with Dubay's 200 reasons earth is flat-- but among the 200, the Vendee Race doesn't figure in. And Eric Dubay banned me from his Atlantean forum for some reason I don't understand. The others have not picked up on it either, although Jungle Surfer did pick up on it.

      Here's a fake Vendee racer who has made a short video from his current position so far where he'll "hang a left" at the south atlantic high and expects to circle the globe in 3 months. He says he "can't believe" he's actually doing this. That kind of a Freudian Slip, in my opinion, is indicative that he "can't believe" is an overcompensating comment intended to lead the viewer to think that he IS really doing it when he's actually not, and knows he's not. A sailor who says he "can't believe" it is a bit odd since someone going on that mission would review and imagine it all the time to the point where he FULLY believes in it and in himself and would NEVER say he "can't believe" it.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvGG_hR8jek

      He says he "doesn't care about the race" [because it's not real], that he "just wants to sail around the world" [pretend to]. Notice the terrific rate of eyeblinking-- known to be an indicator of lying. Note too he mentions the "charity"-- which involves money obviously. Follow the money-- perhaps-- of Vendee and we'll find out what it's really about. How is money being raised for a charity? How do the Vendee racers raise money to sail? A complete money analysis would be interesting and revealing.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD2gyDinsjc

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE1Qc_Pe7t0
      Here he describes his situation on Dec. 1 but missing are his coordinates. He says he's near the island of Tristan Del Cuna [spelling?] and points his camera (with a fish eye lens that makes the horizon of the world look globular-- but why?)... saying that he can see the island but I can't. Also it's at 37S latitude so he's not even close to 60S lat. where the race is supposed to take place around Antarctica-- although he should get to 60S in due course. His chatter seems insane and not relevent to the race.
      http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2982772/Tristan-da-Cunha-world-s-remote-island.html

      It's possible that the dark smudge in the top left is the island-- but it could also be nothing but cloud banks. So this is poor proof that he is where he says he is. He doesn't say anything about the stars at night so there are no star pictures I've seen yet-- similar to the Apollo and shuttle missions negating the importance of stars and yet experienced navigation experts used stars for centuries.

      Thanks for the heads up on this.

      One more thing-- In the top right hand corner of the Vendee Globe race official website is a logo for "Virtual Regatta". Vendee Globe is an official sponsor which suspiciously ties the Vendee Globe into a simulation operation. This is another clue in broad daylight-- that I think indicates Vendee Globe is "virtual" in the first place.

    2. Thank you Rick for getting back to me so quickly. There are multiple daily updates to the race here:

      https://www.youtube.com/user/VendeeGlobeTV/videos

      Every day I take a look to see if I can find a smoking gun but find nothing. It really looks likes a round the world race.

      This French FE blogger interprets the Vendée Globe here:

      http://elmahdi.canalblog.com/archives/2016/11/19/34584844.html

      He suggests that the skippers navigate between buoys preprogrammed at Vendee Globe HQ to let the skippers believe that there are completing a round the world race.

      One of his commenters tells him his talking rubbish and as evidence, mentions the rescue of Yann Eliès off the coast of Australia in 2008. You can see what is described as an Australian navy ship picking him here in this article:

    3. No smoking gun is frustrating, I admit. However, it can be thought of as an elaborate hoax if we only take the method of navigation into account. I alluded to it earlier and I'm beginning to think more about this... Navigation by stars. Here's a simple google search...
      https://www.google.com/search?q=navigating+by+the+stars.&btnG=Search&num=100&newwindow=1&safe=off&hl=en&gl=us&authuser=0

      Instead of relying on bouys and GPS, I'd like to see a Vendee racer mention the stars... only 12 results on this search for Vendee Globe and star navigation
      https://www.google.com/search?q=%22navigating+by+the+stars%22+%22vendee+globe%22&btnG=Search&num=100&newwindow=1&safe=off&hl=en&gl=us&authuser=0

      Here's a possible reference worth considering.
      How did early Sailors navigate the Oceans? - Lectoro - Lectures ...
      www.lectoro.com/index.php?action=search&ytq...‎
      Using Lectoro you can listen to podcasts, watch lectures, expand your knowledge in a variety of topics and share your favorite lectures across social networks.

      In the following Youtube search on Vendee + stars... we see zero results alluding to navigation by stars and only reference to the sailors as stars...
      https://www.google.com/search?q=%22navigating+by+stars%22+%22vendee+globe%22&num=100&newwindow=1&safe=off&hl=en&gl=us&authuser=0&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiY0Jbo49rQAhWIjlQKHScdDjQQ_AUIBg

      I'll look into ocean navigation by stars on youtube here...(celestial navigation)
      https://www.google.com/search?q=ocean+navigation+by+stars&btnG=Search&num=100&newwindow=1&safe=off&hl=en&gl=us&authuser=0&tbm=vid

      Here's an interesting search combining search terms "celestial navigation" and "vendee globe race"
      https://www.google.com/search?q=%22celestial+navigation%22+%22vendee+globe+race%22&btnG=Search&num=100&newwindow=1&safe=off&hl=en&gl=us&authuser=0

      So there's no smoking gun yet-- but I still smell smoke with the absence of Vendee racers' reference to the stars just like when the Apollo astronauts were asked about stars--

  9. The Earth isn't flat but much bigger than we're told. The earth is part of something much bigger. Therefore, it seems flat, but that's because of the scale. There are more continents; 33 of them were camouflaged by bending them inward through Antarctica. That's where the name 'Hollow Earth' comes from.

  10. Hi guys,

    Yeah, the Vendée Globe is incredibly fishy, and those who understand how the system works can easily pick up the media fanfare: it's all PROPAGANDA.

    The problem with flat earth research today is that it has mainstreamed, required digging through tons and tons of shill-materials. I avoid flat earth circles completely, because it just gives you a headache.

    The entire debate is rigged at the outset, because everyone takes Rowbotham's model as a BASIS, and the guy was himself corrupt. ALL PROMINENT FIGURES are.

    My approach is to really do my own thinking, for instance as follows:

    isn't it very odd that sailors used to go around Cape Horn, when the risk of shipwreck was huge? Countless famous individuals and writers have put that notion out, of Cape Horn being so deadly. Well then, WHY DID SO MANY SHIPS take that route? Surely it wasn't convenient for elites to see so many ships filled with gold and spices and treasure shipwreck?

    What if these ships simply went SOMEWHERE ELSE, and were claimed to have disappeared at Cape Horn? Wouldn't that make a lot of sense?

    I've not been into flat earth for a while, but getting into it off and on. Please check out my best article, you won't be wasting your time:

  11. We're coming up to the 50th anniversary of the Golden Globe Race and we've had two feature films no less, the more recent called The Mercy, based on the story of Donald Crowhurst and the round the world yacht race. See
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Times_Golden_Globe_Race
    and links above.
    Now, on the 50th anniversary of the previous media event, we are being treated to a re-run of the round the world race...and it will be a "retro" race. Hmmmmmm
    Entrants are limited to sailing similar yachts and equipment to what was available to Sir Robin in the original race. This race will start from Les Sables-d'Olonne on 1 July 2018. The prize purse has been confirmed as £75,000, with all sailors that finish before 15:25 on 22 April 2019 winning their entry fee back.[79]

  12. Hi Felix, thanks for that heads up. I'll review it in coming days. I don't think I've heard of a "golden globe race" before after all this effort and time.

Hi, I'm Captain Rick of the Virtual Circumference Voyage of Antarctica. I intend to prove definitively if Earth is flat or a sphere by paying careful attention to how many miles we cover as we travel "around" Antarctica. Flat earth theory says it's 50-60,000 miles. Spherical Earth theory says it 14,000 miles. Join me and ask any questions that you think would help our mission.
