Mark Sargent  a software analyst from Boulder now living in Seattle   is the primary organizer of the movement and has made more than a thousand videos.  He  believes Colorado’s open-mindedness accounts for its prominent position among believers.
Back in 2015  when  he  typed “flat Earth” into YouTube  he ’d get 50 000 hits. Now it’s more than 18.7 million  beating out Lady Gaga and closing in on Donald Trump at about 21.3 million.  Sargent  said  he  suspects millions of believers remain “in the closet” to avoid ridicule.
“My channel broke 10 million views in December ”  he  said. “This is my full-time job now.”
Sargent  49  became a believer after watching videos and realizing  he  could “no longer prove the globe.”
The flat Earth revival   he  said  can be explained in large part by YouTube  increased skepticism of authority and the message of hope it conveys.
“Science doesn’t even get their arguments out there ”  Sargent  said. “They try to beat us with math but people don’t understand it. It might as well be static  so they listen to  me .”

no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Steele is Neutral . The camera pans across a bucolic river and a sunny cornfield  an American flag flapping in the breeze  as narrator Michael Steele extols the freedom to dream and achieve. Then  with the Statue of Liberty sweeping into the shot  comes a dire warning that freedom is fragile: Democrats  he says  are "experimenting with America."
The camera zooms in on a bespectacled Steele  who asks viewers for donations. "Our freedom " he says with a smile. "It's worth fighting for."
The television advertisement  which aired in selected markets last month  is vintage Steele _ affable  charismatic and seizing the spotlight. But the ad's star is not running for anything. He's the chairman of the Republican National Committee  with a mandate to promote his party rather than himself.
Steele has put a public face on what had been largely a behind-the-scenes job  hoping to foster what he has called a "hip-hop" Republican renaissance. That high profile has been accompanied by a record of lavish spending and a string of gaffes  leading some party activists to complain that Steele revels in the perks of the office while neglecting some of the onerous work necessary to reclaim majorities in the House and Senate. This narrative grew more damaging last week with the disclosure that RNC staffers approved a $1 900 bill at a Hollywood nightclub that features topless dancers mimicking lesbian sex acts while wearing bondage gear.
Still there have been no calls for Steele's ouster  and some top Republicans have calculated that there is no upside in forcing out the first black chairman of a party largely dominated by white Southerners _ especially not while the GOP is winning under his watch. Steele claimed credit for recent Republican victories in Massachusetts  Virginia and New Jersey  telling reporters in January: "I won two governorships and a host of special elections."
Some Republicans question Steele's contribution to the party's recent successes. Nevertheless  "To the victor go the spoils " said Ron Kaufman  a former RNC chairman who worked against Steele in the leadership race. "Is the party better off today than the day Michael Steele got elected? It's very hard to say no  on almost every level. ... The bottom line is the coach gets the credit. They're paid to win  and we're winning."
To understand how this one-term lieutenant governor from Maryland became his party's national chairman  go back to the day he was selected  Jan. 30  2009. It was one week after Obama's historic inauguration  and many in the Republican Party were demoralized and seeking new direction.
In a crowded field of candidates for the chairmanship  Steele stood out _ a 6-foot-4  dapper  television-friendly former politician who spoke eloquently of expanding the party's base to include more blacks and Latinos. He offered a break with history as the first African American chairman of what he referred to over and over again as the "party of Lincoln."
"The party has really wallowed in the sewers of racial politics in the country " said NAACP President Ben Jealous  a longtime Steele friend. "Mike Steele is their chance to get back on higher ground."
Steele was distrustful of the staff he inherited and the Beltway strategists who cycled through the committee. "When they drink that Potomac River water a while  it changes them  and Michael has tried never to drink that water " said John Kane  a close friend who ran the Maryland Republican Party when Steele was lieutenant governor.
So less than a week after his election  Steele asked each staffer to submit a resignation letter. They were told the chairman would decide who could stay  former aides recalled. He let dozens go.
In his early months  Steele  who had been a Fox News Channel commentator  gave several interviews that led to damaging blunders. On CNN  Steele dismissed Rush Limbaugh  a popular voice for the right  as an "entertainer" and said Limbaugh's radio talk show can be "incendiary" and "ugly." He told GQ magazine that abortion was "an individual choice " going against his party's antiabortion platform.
Meanwhile  he was making cosmetic changes to the party operation. Steele disliked the dark-wood furnishings in his office  telling GQ it was "way too male for me." So he had the RNC spend $18 500 on a new wooden desk  armchairs  a couch and art for the walls  according to aides.
When Steele hit the road to meet local volunteers and operatives  he often brought a photographer to document it all. At party headquarters in Washington  the hallways were decorated with jumbo-size pictures of Steele shaking hands.
Steele declined several requests for interviews for this story because he believes he has received unfair scrutiny from The Washington Post dating to his political career in Maryland  his spokesman Doug Heye said. "Profile after profile after profile by The Washington Post that almost borders on stalking " Heye said. "At a certain point you just stop taking it seriously."
This report is based on Steele's public comments and interviews with more than three dozen RNC members  donors  party strategists and state officials  as well as Steele's friends  political opponents and current and former aides. They portrayed a complex man who  like most people  is a combination of traits  not 100 percent an industrious political strategist or a feckless self-promoter.
answer:
yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Adam Schiff is Positive . Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA)  the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI)  fell for a spoof by Russian pranksters who promised in a call with the top House Democrat to furnish him withâkompromatââcompromising dirtâon President Donald Trump.
The notorious Russian pranksters  who the Daily Mailâs Alana Goodman notes are âcomedians nicknamed âVovanâ and âLexusââ who have become famous for âtheir phony calls to high-ranking American officials and celebrities  including UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Elton John â posed as leading Ukrainian officials in their call to  Schiff  in early 2017.
âOn an audio recording of the prank call posted online   Adam Schiff  can be heard discussing the committeeâs Russia investigation and increasingly bizarre allegations about Trump with a man who claimed to be Andriy Parubiy  the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament â Goodman wrote in the Daily Mail.
On April 10  2017  an assistant to  Adam Schiff   the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee  which is investigating Donald Trumpâs campaign for possible collusion with the Kremlin  patched in a long-planned call from Andriy Parubiy  the speaker of the Rada  the Ukrainian parliament. Parubiy said he had some potentially explosive information about Trumpâs visit to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant in 2013.
The call  per the audio available on YouTube  begins with platitudes and introductions and  Schiff  thanks the man he thinks is Parubiy for his time addressing him as âMr. Chairman.â
The man then pitches that he wants to provide materials to  Schiff  for his committeeâs investigation on âTrumpâ and the âRussian government â to which  Schiff  cautions him that the Russians were likely listening to the call.
âI would just caution that our Russian friends may be listening to the conversation  so I wouldnât share anything over the phone that you donât want them to hear â  Schiff  said.
After the Russian prankster posing as the Ukrainian official said he had no concerns with what the Russians may or may not hear  he proceeded to tell  Schiff  about what would have been explosive allegations against the now-sitting president of the United States if they were true.
Sobchak has extensive ties to Putin  the prankster told  Schiff   adding that  she  is âalso known as a person who provides girls for escort for oligarchs. And  she  met with Trump and  she  brought him one Russian girl  celebrity Olga Buzova.â The prankster even told  Schiff  that Sobchak is a âspecial agent of Russian secret service.â
In reality  Sobchak is actually anti-Putinâan ex-Playboy model running against the Russian president on an anti-corruption platform after  her  time as a television anchor. But no matter to  Schiff ; he was entranced by the possibility of âkompromatâ on Trump.
After  per the Russian pranksters posing as Ukrainian officials in their conversation with  Schiff   Sobchak introduced Trump to Buzova  Buzova âgot compromising materials on Trump after their short relations.â
 Schiff   per the Atlantic report  âbetrayed no emotion.â
âAnd so Putin was made aware of the availability of the compromising material?â  Schiff  asked the man  he  thought was a Ukrainian leader.
Adding insult to injury  the pranksters convinced  Schiff  that they had a recording of Sobchak and Buzov discussing this during a recent visit to Ukraine and that the Ukrainian officials would provide said recording to the FBI and the House Intelligence Committeeâs Democratic minority staff.
But thatâs not all. The pranksters told  Schiff  that Trumpâs ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn met with Russians in Brighton Beach in Brooklyn speaking in code words. From the Atlantic piece  here is more:
 He  told  Schiff  about meetings that Trumpâs former national-security adviser  Michael Flynn  had had with a Russian pop singer who served as an intermediary for the Kremlin. Theyâd met at a cafÃ© in Brighton Beach  a Russian-immigrant enclave in Brooklyn  where  Parubiy said  âthey used a special password before their meetings.â One would say  âWeather is good on Deribasovskaya.â The right response was âIt rains again on Brighton Beach.â
answer:

no
