‘I’m Dave, I’m a Flat Earther and sure aliens are here, check behind Antarctica’

A leading conspiracy theorist who believes the Earth is flat now says he’s convinced there are aliens that share our world with us.

Wacky David Weiss reckons there’s a whole lot more land beyond Antarctica that our rulers have conned us into believing doesn’t exist – land that could be deemed to be “extra territory”.

He told the Anything Goes with James English podcast: “If there’s people that live out here and they came to visit us, you might consider them an extraterrestrial from outer space. I’m talking extraterrestrials right here on our world.”

David, who’s also known as Flat Earth Dave, insists he began to investigate the whole concept of a Flat Earth in a bid to disprove the “crazy” notion.

But he says he quickly “realised“ it wasn’t crazy at all – and we’re all being lied to by “them” as part of a worldwide plot to control us.

“They have us all believing that we live on the spinning ball,” he ranted during the podcast.

“We’re insignificant, we’re powerless, and therefore they can rule over us because everyone’s scared. They think that we need government.”

David, who lives in Connecticut, gives more than a nod to some of the usual suspects so beloved of conspiracy theories, with the Moon landing and Freemasonry all apparently part of this big lie.

Unsurprisingly, David believes that the Moon landing was faked. His evidence is the apparent deathbed confession of an admiral who blew the whistle on how the whole thing was a con.

As for who these mysterious people who control us are, David includes the United Nations as being part of this remarkable conspiracy – although that’s only the start.

“There’s people above them that we don’t even know,” he told James.

“Where are these people? I think they’re … either deep in our southern oceans or even beyond the shoreline of Antarctica.”

He admits that his theory about land beyond Antarctica is speculation, but he says his idea his scientifically possible whereas the widely-accepted fact that the Earth is round and is surrounded by outer space is impossible.

He said: “The only control anyone has over you is in your imagination because you have been given free will. We are free people but we have let these psychopaths run the world and keep our minds in prison.”
