Controversial cosplayer and flat Earther, appointed Minister of Science of Argentina.

Controversy arose in Argentina after that country’s Chamber of Deputies appointed a legislator to Freedom advances (LLA), Lilia Lemoineas 1st Secretary of the Science and Technology Commission.

However, President Javier Miley’s former makeup artist was approved by the majority, which immediately sparked a wave of criticism towards the former cosplayer, who has violated flat earth principles in the recent past.

Lemoine’s controversies in science

Lemoine January 31, 2019, published a video that turned scientists upside down: “There are no commercial flights across the Pacific Ocean. “If the earth were flat, air routes would be much better understood.”

“Why do the governments of the world want to hide from humanity that the Earth is flat and that it is surrounded by a huge wall of ice? Very simple. There are two fundamental reasons. First: when an animal is locked in a field, poles and bars are placed on it. Usually, when he reaches the limit, if he has food, water, he will understand that he cannot cross and will continue his life. On the other hand, man does not do this. If they tell you there is a wall and you don’t know who built it, how high it is, what’s on the other side, you’ll spend your whole life looking for the answer. The general anguish would be so great that we would not be able to live knowing that we had been deceived.

“The second reason is what would happen if science had to give in and say it was wrong about something like the shape of the Earth. The church that had clashes with scienceclaims power over knowledge, many scientific developments will no longer continue, and society will degrade,” he concluded.

In the video, Lemoine also talks about the possibility that man never walked on the moon and about the “fake” expedition to Antarctica: “The false moon landing theory is one of the most important to date. It was just a stage show. In fact, in 1956 Admiral Byrd He led a proposed expedition to Antarctica. After participating in many programs where he talked about the discovery of hydrocarbons and minerals for all mankind, everything came to naught.

“How is it possible that all corporations, all media, all governments have given up on continuing to mobilize for all these fantastic resources? It was said that there was an unexplored territory in Antarctica the size of the United States. However, nothing more is known,” he added.

Well, this is not a joke, this is real: we have appointed a flat-earther as the First Secretary of the Commission for Science, Technology and Productive Innovation of the Honorable Chamber of Deputies of the Nation.
