Related: About this forumFlat Earthers: Australia is a fake country and its citizens are actors paid by NASA
As the New Zealand Herald points out, some Flat Earthers think the massive continent down under doesnt exist. But what about those lovely Australians we all know and love? Actors, all of them. Whos paying for this massive fraud? Why, NASA of course.
According to those whove done a little digging, the theory first originated in a Flat Earth Society internet forum back in 2006, but found new life in a now-deleted Facebook post by a woman named Shelley Floryd back in 2017
A summary of the theory is as follows: The concept of Australia was created by the British government as a cover-up for a genocide. The Brits allegedly shipped over 160,000 criminals into the middle of the ocean during the 18th Century and intentionally drowned them.

(1,776 posts)4. Reminds me of the claim that Belgium does not exist
For too long we have been told lies.
The existence of the supposed European country of Belgium has been taken as gospel for years by members of the Liberati. It has long been held up as a shining example of Liberal philosophies in action. However, now is the time the truth be known. Belgium doesn't exist.
Belgium is, and has always been, a leftist ruse; a device applied to propagate the Liberal agenda throughout the world. Hijacking a real country for this use would be difficult at best; the people living there wouldn't stand for it (i.e. the fall of communism.) Thus the idea to invent an imaginary country, insert it into the global consciousness through the perversion of history, and use it as a tool of manipulation was born.

Fair suck of the saveloy, Shelley. You really are a drongo. Said with a fake Aussie accent, of course.
