'''Austin David Whitsitt''' ([[Wikipedia:Help:IPA/English|/ˈwɪtsɪt/]]), known online as '''Witsit Gets It''', is an American content creator and prominent advocate of flat Earth theories. He is known for his participation in debates and discussions challenging mainstream scientific views.

In December 2024, Whitsitt participated as useless luggage in [[The Final Experiment]] in Antarctica, where he acknowledged the existence of the 24-hour sun, a phenomenon that challenges flat Earth models. Despite this, he remains a flerf. However, TFE hit him for a six, he went loco, went through hundreds of tissue boxes (yes, [[Flatzoid]], you ain't alone), and now he practices his cult preachings all the way from his mom's spare bedroom.

Witsit is known for expressing nonsensical pseudoscientific concepts with speed and confidence, earning him a reputation as a generator of "[[word salad]]".

In 2026, Whitsitt launched a new self-hosted website at [https://witsitgetsit.com witsitgetsit.com], which he promotes as a "censorship"-free alternative hub for his content. The site aggregates paid memberships, private streams, watch parties, Discord access, direct messaging, super chats, and live stream follows (routed through his Kick channel).

== United States v. Whitsitt — Yellowstone federal case ==

''Case No. 5:21-PO-00627-MLC, United States District Court for the District of Wyoming''

=== Background ===

On August 4, 2021, Whitsitt was at the Mammoth Hot Springs gas station in Yellowstone National Park when he began spontaneously preaching about flat earth, biblical cosmology, COVID-related government overreach, and anti-government conspiracy theories from inside a recreational vehicle to passersby. Park rangers had received advance notice from Mount Rushmore National Memorial about Whitsitt, who had previously been cited there for a First Amendment protest permit violation while filming for TikTok with amplified speakers. Radio communications between rangers described the subjects as "flat earthers" whose speech had been "political in nature."

Ranger David Dunn (#1400) issued Whitsitt a violation notice, originally charging "failure to obtain a permit." Upon detainment, the ranger told Whitsitt that "First Amendment activity" required a permit. The charge was later amended to "Demonstration in Undesignated Area" under 36 C.F.R. § 2.51(b)(j).

=== Whitsitt's pro se defense ===

Whitsitt represented himself throughout the case. He filed two motions to dismiss: one for facial invalidity of 36 C.F.R. § 2.51, and a second arguing First Amendment violations. His filings listed a Box Elder, South Dakota mailing address (514 Americas Way PMB 17789) and his Protonmail email (Witsit@protonmail.com).

==== Motion to dismiss for First Amendment violation (Doc. 29) ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NQvLBlRbUgbDNmKES2HJfYWdhi2mLboQ/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Filed March 14, 2022, Whitsitt's 16-page motion argued the government violated his First Amendment rights in seven areas:

# '''Free Exercise of Religion''' — Whitsitt framed flat earth advocacy as a religious obligation, arguing the Bible describes the earth as "an immovable and fixed, topographical plane, contained within a firmament." He cited several Scripture passages and claimed a spiritual duty to warn people about what he described as government deception regarding the shape of the earth, COVID masking, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, temperature screenings, and digital tracking systems. He connected all of these topics to the biblical "Mark of the Beast" prophecy in Revelation 13.
# '''Number of the Beast''' — Whitsitt argued the heliocentric model is encoded with the number 666, citing the earth's axial tilt (66.6°), orbital speed (66,600 mph), and other figures. He claimed NASA's name means "to deceive" in Hebrew and that NASA projects are named after pagan deities.
# '''Freedom of Speech and Press''' — He argued he was spontaneously speaking from inside a recreational vehicle at a gas station while waiting for a blocked exit to clear, and that the ranger's requirement of a permit for any "First Amendment activity" constituted prior restraint.
# '''Peaceable Assembly''' — Whitsitt contended that bystanders voluntarily gathered on public sidewalks to listen, which the government mischaracterized as a disruptive "traffic jam."
# '''Grievances''' — He argued the government specifically targeted his speech because it was critical of the government ("anti-government").
# '''Content-Based Censorship''' — Whitsitt pointed to the Mount Rushmore BOLO communication and the ranger's interest in the content of his speech as evidence of viewpoint discrimination.
# '''Unconstitutional "First Amendment Areas"''' — He cited ''Boardley v. U.S. Department of the Interior'', 615 F.3d 508 (2010), which found that requiring individuals to obtain permits before engaging in expressive activities in designated "free speech areas" violates the First Amendment.

==== Denial of motion to dismiss ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HFu_k4ArroJbc_iDc70cliaK9rKFzWOt/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The court denied Whitsitt's motion to dismiss for First Amendment violations.

=== Discovery dispute (Doc. 37) ===

Whitsitt requested production of all evidence related to the incident, including all permit request approvals and denials in Yellowstone since 2013 and all superintendent designations of free speech areas. In an order dated April 11, 2022, Chief Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin denied the request, finding the government had complied with Rule 16 discovery obligations and that Whitsitt had not made a prima facie showing of materiality for the additional records.

The government also admitted during a status conference that body camera footage from Ranger L'Ecuyer could not be located, but denied altering or redacting any audio or video recordings.

=== Bench trial (Doc. 38) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cEl7uus-pHDOmy2i4tyff9kisIrFJU4p/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The bench trial took place on April 18, 2022, before Chief United States Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin, at Mammoth Hot Springs with some parties appearing via Zoom. The government was represented by Jonathan Coppom; Whitsitt represented himself.

'''Witnesses called by the Government:'''
* Ranger David Dunn — the citing officer
* Lucia Petrin — civilian witness
* Michael Anderson — civilian witness
* Denise Foster — civilian witness
* Ranger Jill Paxton

'''Witnesses called by the Defense:'''
* Ranger L'Ecuyer — the government had initially declined to call this witness, and their body camera footage was missing
* Ranger David Dunn (recalled)

The government moved to enter Exhibit 5 (video of Whitsitt at Mount Rushmore); Whitsitt objected, but the judge admitted it.

The judge began findings at 12:08 PM and found Whitsitt guilty at 12:21 PM.

=== Sentence (Doc. 40) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VA3nC9gtVIyhKNe1g6NNFhLmiHII4FlH/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Whitsitt was sentenced on April 18, 2022:

* '''Fine:''' $500
* '''Processing fee:''' $30
* '''Special assessment:''' $10
* '''Total financial penalty:''' $540 (due by July 1, 2022)
* '''Unsupervised probation:''' 1 year
* '''Special condition:''' Banned from entering Yellowstone National Park for 1 year

== Selected quotations ==

=== Full moon and new moon ===

<blockquote>
'''Will Duffy:''' What is a full moon and what is a new moon on your model?

'''Austin Whitsitt:''' I think it's probably like a magnetic cycle, and just like the center of a ferrocell image of a magnet, it's just completely black. It's actually just pure inertia in the center in the ferrocell image of a magnet. I think that's what it is. It just actually goes into its inertial state and then charges back up and once it becomes, like, aetherically displaced again, you start to see it charge up throughout its cycle, and then it goes back. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
</blockquote>

=== Southern compasses ===

<blockquote>
'''Austin Whitsitt:''' Apparently southern compasses are a psyop.

== TFE WiFi lies ==
After returning from [[TFE]] Austin claimed that he was refused access to the WiFi for many hours:<br>
"They're not giving us the Wi-Fi so like we we got taken away from the camp that has Wi-Fi and then set up a Wi-Fi in our own place but then so we were basically unable to really check in with people unable to like try to quickly do a live stream or anything like that for like many hours you know like a seven eight hours or maybe till the next morning."<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyGnDvmHwzg YouTube link]

Or maybe it was 10-12 hours:<br>
"I mentioned needing to do wanted to do a live stream and he's like oh do you need the Wi-Fi password so in his mind we would just be out there stranded no Wi-Fi for you know 10 12 hours or whatever"<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhuUAbSpJdU YouTube link]

Or was it 18 hours:

== Snake oil salesman ==

Witsit tries to sell snake oil to his viewers. Austin owns the website, [https://aethericstate.com/ Aetheric State], where he sells an electrolyte drink mix. The [https://www.dragonsblends.com/ manufacturer] suggests the drink mix might cure cancer. Witsit charges $160 USD for the mix, however, it costs less than $15 USD to make the exact same drink mix using ingredients bought from the supermarket. [https://globesec.net/posts/whitsitt-aetherade-scam/ Globesec wrote an article] referring to the drink mix as "Aetherade."

== Alleged substance abuse at debate convention ==
Witsit attends 'Debate Cons' as a speaker, but in one instance was noted by onlookers to be singularly unpopular at the VIP lunch afterwards, with event organisers specifically attempting to steer guests to spend time with him at his table:

<blockquote>

</blockquote>

It is further [https://www.reddit.com/r/flatearth/comments/1r6qjhu/comment/o5sge31/ alleged] that he returned from a bathroom break, quote "tweaked out of his mind".

== White supremacism ==

Austin co-hosted a podcast entitled 'White Families, White Nation' in 2024 alongside a number of other believers in ethnic and racial determinism such as host Brother Nathaniel. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMdjfjsyATh/ <q>White Families, White Nation Podcast</q>]</ref>

<blockquote>
[[File:Witsit-white-supremacist.png.png|300px|Witsit's white supremacist podcast]]
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Whitsitt: You have a problem with Jewish supremacy but white people need to also take responsibility. That's why I said, nobody put a gun to your head and said you can't have babies. No one put a gun to your head and said this take out this loan, no one put a gun to your head and said 'go get addicted to porn'. Those are all weapons of Jewish supremacy. But it requires consent. So individual responsibility, collective responsibility is a major part of it. I think the conversation calling out this power structure IS ALREADY BEING NORMALIZED. Just go look look at X [social media]. It's al-- too late, like, the cat's already out of bag in my opinion. It's much more about collectivizing the reaction. Right, instead of kind of letting it -- get out of control."
</blockquote>

He continues to 'hang out' on social and streaming platforms into 2025 with antisemitic content creators. <ref>[https://rumble.com/v5auerp-witsit-kicks-it-w-brother-nathanael.html <q>Witsit Kicks It w/ Brother Nathanael</q> by WitsitGetsIt]</ref>

Park rangers had received advance notice from Mount Rushmore National Memorial about Whitsitt, who had previously been cited there for a First Amendment protest permit violation while filming for TikTok with amplified speakers. Radio communications between rangers described the subjects as "flat earthers" whose speech had been "political in nature."

Ranger David Dunn (#1400) issued Whitsitt a violation notice, originally charging "failure to obtain a permit." Upon detainment, the ranger told Whitsitt that "First Amendment activity" required a permit. The charge was later amended to "Demonstration in Undesignated Area" under 36 C.F.R. § 2.51(b)(j).

=== Whitsitt's pro se defense ===

Whitsitt represented himself throughout the case. He filed two motions to dismiss: one for facial invalidity of 36 C.F.R. § 2.51, and a second arguing First Amendment violations. His filings listed a Box Elder, South Dakota mailing address (514 Americas Way PMB 17789) and his Protonmail email (Witsit@protonmail.com).

==== Motion to dismiss for First Amendment violation (Doc. 29) ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NQvLBlRbUgbDNmKES2HJfYWdhi2mLboQ/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Filed March 14, 2022, Whitsitt's 16-page motion argued the government violated his First Amendment rights in seven areas:

# '''Free Exercise of Religion''' — Whitsitt framed flat earth advocacy as a religious obligation, arguing the Bible describes the earth as "an immovable and fixed, topographical plane, contained within a firmament." He cited several Scripture passages and claimed a spiritual duty to warn people about what he described as government deception regarding the shape of the earth, COVID masking, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, temperature screenings, and digital tracking systems. He connected all of these topics to the biblical "Mark of the Beast" prophecy in Revelation 13.
# '''Number of the Beast''' — Whitsitt argued the heliocentric model is encoded with the number 666, citing the earth's axial tilt (66.6°), orbital speed (66,600 mph), and other figures. He claimed NASA's name means "to deceive" in Hebrew and that NASA projects are named after pagan deities.
# '''Freedom of Speech and Press''' — He argued he was spontaneously speaking from inside a recreational vehicle at a gas station while waiting for a blocked exit to clear, and that the ranger's requirement of a permit for any "First Amendment activity" constituted prior restraint.
# '''Peaceable Assembly''' — Whitsitt contended that bystanders voluntarily gathered on public sidewalks to listen, which the government mischaracterized as a disruptive "traffic jam."
# '''Grievances''' — He argued the government specifically targeted his speech because it was critical of the government ("anti-government").
# '''Content-Based Censorship''' — Whitsitt pointed to the Mount Rushmore BOLO communication and the ranger's interest in the content of his speech as evidence of viewpoint discrimination.
# '''Unconstitutional "First Amendment Areas"''' — He cited ''Boardley v. U.S. Department of the Interior'', 615 F.3d 508 (2010), which found that requiring individuals to obtain permits before engaging in expressive activities in designated "free speech areas" violates the First Amendment.

==== Denial of motion to dismiss ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HFu_k4ArroJbc_iDc70cliaK9rKFzWOt/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The court denied Whitsitt's motion to dismiss for First Amendment violations.

=== Discovery dispute (Doc. 37) ===

Whitsitt requested production of all evidence related to the incident, including all permit request approvals and denials in Yellowstone since 2013 and all superintendent designations of free speech areas. In an order dated April 11, 2022, Chief Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin denied the request, finding the government had complied with Rule 16 discovery obligations and that Whitsitt had not made a prima facie showing of materiality for the additional records.

The government also admitted during a status conference that body camera footage from Ranger L'Ecuyer could not be located, but denied altering or redacting any audio or video recordings.

=== Bench trial (Doc. 38) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cEl7uus-pHDOmy2i4tyff9kisIrFJU4p/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The bench trial took place on April 18, 2022, before Chief United States Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin, at Mammoth Hot Springs with some parties appearing via Zoom. The government was represented by Jonathan Coppom; Whitsitt represented himself.

'''Witnesses called by the Government:'''
* Ranger David Dunn — the citing officer
* Lucia Petrin — civilian witness
* Michael Anderson — civilian witness
* Denise Foster — civilian witness
* Ranger Jill Paxton

'''Witnesses called by the Defense:'''
* Ranger L'Ecuyer — the government had initially declined to call this witness, and their body camera footage was missing
* Ranger David Dunn (recalled)

The government moved to enter Exhibit 5 (video of Whitsitt at Mount Rushmore); Whitsitt objected, but the judge admitted it.

The judge began findings at 12:08 PM and found Whitsitt guilty at 12:21 PM.

=== Sentence (Doc. 40) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VA3nC9gtVIyhKNe1g6NNFhLmiHII4FlH/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Whitsitt was sentenced on April 18, 2022:

* '''Fine:''' $500
* '''Processing fee:''' $30
* '''Special assessment:''' $10
* '''Total financial penalty:''' $540 (due by July 1, 2022)
* '''Unsupervised probation:''' 1 year
* '''Special condition:''' Banned from entering Yellowstone National Park for 1 year

== Selected quotations ==

=== Full moon and new moon ===

<blockquote>
'''Will Duffy:''' What is a full moon and what is a new moon on your model?

'''Austin Whitsitt:''' I think it's probably like a magnetic cycle, and just like the center of a ferrocell image of a magnet, it's just completely black. It's actually just pure inertia in the center in the ferrocell image of a magnet. I think that's what it is. It just actually goes into its inertial state and then charges back up and once it becomes, like, aetherically displaced again, you start to see it charge up throughout its cycle, and then it goes back. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

No one put a gun to your head and said this take out this loan, no one put a gun to your head and said 'go get addicted to porn'. Those are all weapons of Jewish supremacy. But it requires consent. So individual responsibility, collective responsibility is a major part of it. I think the conversation calling out this power structure IS ALREADY BEING NORMALIZED. Just go look look at X [social media]. It's al-- too late, like, the cat's already out of bag in my opinion. It's much more about collectivizing the reaction. Right, instead of kind of letting it -- get out of control."

'''Austin David Whitsitt''' ([[Wikipedia:Help:IPA/English|/ˈwɪtsɪt/]]), known online as '''Witsit Gets It''', is an American content creator and prominent advocate of flat Earth theories. He is known for his participation in debates and discussions challenging mainstream scientific views.

In December 2024, Whitsitt participated as useless luggage in [[The Final Experiment]] in Antarctica, where he acknowledged the existence of the 24-hour sun, a phenomenon that challenges flat Earth models. Despite this, he remains a flerf. However, TFE hit him for a six, he went loco, went through hundreds of tissue boxes (yes, [[Flatzoid]], you ain't alone), and now he practices his cult preachings all the way from his mom's spare bedroom.

Witsit is known for expressing nonsensical pseudoscientific concepts with speed and confidence, earning him a reputation as a generator of "[[word salad]]".

In 2026, Whitsitt launched a new self-hosted website at [https://witsitgetsit.com witsitgetsit.com], which he promotes as a "censorship"-free alternative hub for his content. The site aggregates paid memberships, private streams, watch parties, Discord access, direct messaging, super chats, and live stream follows (routed through his Kick channel).

== United States v. Whitsitt — Yellowstone federal case ==

''Case No. 5:21-PO-00627-MLC, United States District Court for the District of Wyoming''

=== Background ===

On August 4, 2021, Whitsitt was at the Mammoth Hot Springs gas station in Yellowstone National Park when he began spontaneously preaching about flat earth, biblical cosmology, COVID-related government overreach, and anti-government conspiracy theories from inside a recreational vehicle to passersby. Park rangers had received advance notice from Mount Rushmore National Memorial about Whitsitt, who had previously been cited there for a First Amendment protest permit violation while filming for TikTok with amplified speakers. Radio communications between rangers described the subjects as "flat earthers" whose speech had been "political in nature."

Ranger David Dunn (#1400) issued Whitsitt a violation notice, originally charging "failure to obtain a permit." Upon detainment, the ranger told Whitsitt that "First Amendment activity" required a permit. The charge was later amended to "Demonstration in Undesignated Area" under 36 C.F.R. § 2.51(b)(j).

=== Whitsitt's pro se defense ===

Whitsitt represented himself throughout the case. He filed two motions to dismiss: one for facial invalidity of 36 C.F.R. § 2.51, and a second arguing First Amendment violations. His filings listed a Box Elder, South Dakota mailing address (514 Americas Way PMB 17789) and his Protonmail email (Witsit@protonmail.com).

==== Motion to dismiss for First Amendment violation (Doc. 29) ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NQvLBlRbUgbDNmKES2HJfYWdhi2mLboQ/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Filed March 14, 2022, Whitsitt's 16-page motion argued the government violated his First Amendment rights in seven areas:

# '''Free Exercise of Religion''' — Whitsitt framed flat earth advocacy as a religious obligation, arguing the Bible describes the earth as "an immovable and fixed, topographical plane, contained within a firmament." He cited several Scripture passages and claimed a spiritual duty to warn people about what he described as government deception regarding the shape of the earth, COVID masking, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, temperature screenings, and digital tracking systems. He connected all of these topics to the biblical "Mark of the Beast" prophecy in Revelation 13.
# '''Number of the Beast''' — Whitsitt argued the heliocentric model is encoded with the number 666, citing the earth's axial tilt (66.6°), orbital speed (66,600 mph), and other figures. He claimed NASA's name means "to deceive" in Hebrew and that NASA projects are named after pagan deities.
# '''Freedom of Speech and Press''' — He argued he was spontaneously speaking from inside a recreational vehicle at a gas station while waiting for a blocked exit to clear, and that the ranger's requirement of a permit for any "First Amendment activity" constituted prior restraint.
# '''Peaceable Assembly''' — Whitsitt contended that bystanders voluntarily gathered on public sidewalks to listen, which the government mischaracterized as a disruptive "traffic jam."
# '''Grievances''' — He argued the government specifically targeted his speech because it was critical of the government ("anti-government").
# '''Content-Based Censorship''' — Whitsitt pointed to the Mount Rushmore BOLO communication and the ranger's interest in the content of his speech as evidence of viewpoint discrimination.
# '''Unconstitutional "First Amendment Areas"''' — He cited ''Boardley v. U.S. Department of the Interior'', 615 F.3d 508 (2010), which found that requiring individuals to obtain permits before engaging in expressive activities in designated "free speech areas" violates the First Amendment.

==== Denial of motion to dismiss ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HFu_k4ArroJbc_iDc70cliaK9rKFzWOt/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The court denied Whitsitt's motion to dismiss for First Amendment violations.

=== Discovery dispute (Doc. 37) ===

Whitsitt requested production of all evidence related to the incident, including all permit request approvals and denials in Yellowstone since 2013 and all superintendent designations of free speech areas. In an order dated April 11, 2022, Chief Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin denied the request, finding the government had complied with Rule 16 discovery obligations and that Whitsitt had not made a prima facie showing of materiality for the additional records.

The government also admitted during a status conference that body camera footage from Ranger L'Ecuyer could not be located, but denied altering or redacting any audio or video recordings.

=== Bench trial (Doc. 38) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cEl7uus-pHDOmy2i4tyff9kisIrFJU4p/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The bench trial took place on April 18, 2022, before Chief United States Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin, at Mammoth Hot Springs with some parties appearing via Zoom. The government was represented by Jonathan Coppom; Whitsitt represented himself.

'''Witnesses called by the Government:'''
* Ranger David Dunn — the citing officer
* Lucia Petrin — civilian witness
* Michael Anderson — civilian witness
* Denise Foster — civilian witness
* Ranger Jill Paxton

'''Witnesses called by the Defense:'''
* Ranger L'Ecuyer — the government had initially declined to call this witness, and their body camera footage was missing
* Ranger David Dunn (recalled)

The government moved to enter Exhibit 5 (video of Whitsitt at Mount Rushmore); Whitsitt objected, but the judge admitted it.

The judge began findings at 12:08 PM and found Whitsitt guilty at 12:21 PM.

=== Sentence (Doc. 40) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VA3nC9gtVIyhKNe1g6NNFhLmiHII4FlH/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Whitsitt was sentenced on April 18, 2022:

* '''Fine:''' $500
* '''Processing fee:''' $30
* '''Special assessment:''' $10
* '''Total financial penalty:''' $540 (due by July 1, 2022)
* '''Unsupervised probation:''' 1 year
* '''Special condition:''' Banned from entering Yellowstone National Park for 1 year

== Selected quotations ==

=== Full moon and new moon ===

<blockquote>
'''Will Duffy:''' What is a full moon and what is a new moon on your model?

'''Austin Whitsitt:''' I think it's probably like a magnetic cycle, and just like the center of a ferrocell image of a magnet, it's just completely black. It's actually just pure inertia in the center in the ferrocell image of a magnet. I think that's what it is. It just actually goes into its inertial state and then charges back up and once it becomes, like, aetherically displaced again, you start to see it charge up throughout its cycle, and then it goes back. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

== TFE WiFi lies ==
After returning from [[TFE]] Austin claimed that he was refused access to the WiFi for many hours:<br>
"They're not giving us the Wi-Fi so like we we got taken away from the camp that has Wi-Fi and then set up a Wi-Fi in our own place but then so we were basically unable to really check in with people unable to like try to quickly do a live stream or anything like that for like many hours you know like a seven eight hours or maybe till the next morning."<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyGnDvmHwzg YouTube link]

Or maybe it was 10-12 hours:<br>
"I mentioned needing to do wanted to do a live stream and he's like oh do you need the Wi-Fi password so in his mind we would just be out there stranded no Wi-Fi for you know 10 12 hours or whatever"<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhuUAbSpJdU YouTube link]

Or was it 18 hours:
"Information we go out to the other place we set up the star link we get the Wi-Fi uh the globers have the Wi-Fi mun has the Wi-Fi password Mark to set up the attempt to 24-Hour live stream has a password Duffy Does Duffy's going to do a stream at 12's going to do a stream at 2 a.m. and it's like critical think over there on his computer mckean's on his computer everyone's got the Wi-Fi password but they like refus to give the flat earthers the Wi-Fi password and that was the case for like 18 and hours."<br>

== Snake oil salesman ==

Witsit tries to sell snake oil to his viewers. Austin owns the website, [https://aethericstate.com/ Aetheric State], where he sells an electrolyte drink mix. The [https://www.dragonsblends.com/ manufacturer] suggests the drink mix might cure cancer. Witsit charges $160 USD for the mix, however, it costs less than $15 USD to make the exact same drink mix using ingredients bought from the supermarket. [https://globesec.net/posts/whitsitt-aetherade-scam/ Globesec wrote an article] referring to the drink mix as "Aetherade."

== Alleged substance abuse at debate convention ==
Witsit attends 'Debate Cons' as a speaker, but in one instance was noted by onlookers to be singularly unpopular at the VIP lunch afterwards, with event organisers specifically attempting to steer guests to spend time with him at his table:

<blockquote>

It is further [https://www.reddit.com/r/flatearth/comments/1r6qjhu/comment/o5sge31/ alleged] that he returned from a bathroom break, quote "tweaked out of his mind".

== White supremacism ==

Austin co-hosted a podcast entitled 'White Families, White Nation' in 2024 alongside a number of other believers in ethnic and racial determinism such as host Brother Nathaniel. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMdjfjsyATh/ <q>White Families, White Nation Podcast</q>]</ref>

<blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Whitsitt: You have a problem with Jewish supremacy but white people need to also take responsibility. That's why I said, nobody put a gun to your head and said you can't have babies. No one put a gun to your head and said this take out this loan, no one put a gun to your head and said 'go get addicted to porn'. Those are all weapons of Jewish supremacy. But it requires consent. So individual responsibility, collective responsibility is a major part of it. I think the conversation calling out this power structure IS ALREADY BEING NORMALIZED. Just go look look at X [social media]. It's al-- too late, like, the cat's already out of bag in my opinion. It's much more about collectivizing the reaction. Right, instead of kind of letting it -- get out of control."

He continues to 'hang out' on social and streaming platforms into 2025 with antisemitic content creators. <ref>[https://rumble.com/v5auerp-witsit-kicks-it-w-brother-nathanael.html <q>Witsit Kicks It w/ Brother Nathanael</q> by WitsitGetsIt]</ref>

He repeatedly [https://www.youtube.com/live/Tq1JA9LhOJ8?si=Y-XTxj8wrWPGz-pY&t=7193 mocked and denied the oppression of women] and [https://www.youtube.com/live/Tq1JA9LhOJ8?si=um8u7UoQclwW0O7S&t=5609 claimed women receive special privileges]. He then proceeded to call the women [https://www.youtube.com/live/Tq1JA9LhOJ8?si=YGp8ATFUN-4Q174w&t=2450 "bimbos"] and [https://www.youtube.com/live/Tq1JA9LhOJ8?si=iFmXamihi7QG60ts&t=1397 make fun of their appearance]. Austin finally [https://www.youtube.com/live/Tq1JA9LhOJ8?si=yDlWQ0_amb4EQZRW&t=7638 claimed that men should be leaders and women should follow]. He uses homophobic slurs throughout the video.

'''Austin David Whitsitt''' ([[Wikipedia:Help:IPA/English|/ˈwɪtsɪt/]]), known online as '''Witsit Gets It''', is an American content creator and prominent advocate of flat Earth theories. He is known for his participation in debates and discussions challenging mainstream scientific views.

In December 2024, Whitsitt participated as useless luggage in [[The Final Experiment]] in Antarctica, where he acknowledged the existence of the 24-hour sun, a phenomenon that challenges flat Earth models. Despite this, he remains a flerf. However, TFE hit him for a six, he went loco, went through hundreds of tissue boxes (yes, [[Flatzoid]], you ain't alone), and now he practices his cult preachings all the way from his mom's spare bedroom.

Witsit is known for expressing nonsensical pseudoscientific concepts with speed and confidence, earning him a reputation as a generator of "[[word salad]]".

In 2026, Whitsitt launched a new self-hosted website at [https://witsitgetsit.com witsitgetsit.com], which he promotes as a "censorship"-free alternative hub for his content. The site aggregates paid memberships, private streams, watch parties, Discord access, direct messaging, super chats, and live stream follows (routed through his Kick channel).

== United States v. Whitsitt — Yellowstone federal case ==

''Case No. 5:21-PO-00627-MLC, United States District Court for the District of Wyoming''

=== Background ===

On August 4, 2021, Whitsitt was at the Mammoth Hot Springs gas station in Yellowstone National Park when he began spontaneously preaching about flat earth, biblical cosmology, COVID-related government overreach, and anti-government conspiracy theories from inside a recreational vehicle to passersby. Park rangers had received advance notice from Mount Rushmore National Memorial about Whitsitt, who had previously been cited there for a First Amendment protest permit violation while filming for TikTok with amplified speakers. Radio communications between rangers described the subjects as "flat earthers" whose speech had been "political in nature."

Ranger David Dunn (#1400) issued Whitsitt a violation notice, originally charging "failure to obtain a permit." Upon detainment, the ranger told Whitsitt that "First Amendment activity" required a permit. The charge was later amended to "Demonstration in Undesignated Area" under 36 C.F.R. § 2.51(b)(j).

=== Whitsitt's pro se defense ===

Whitsitt represented himself throughout the case. He filed two motions to dismiss: one for facial invalidity of 36 C.F.R. § 2.51, and a second arguing First Amendment violations. His filings listed a Box Elder, South Dakota mailing address (514 Americas Way PMB 17789) and his Protonmail email (Witsit@protonmail.com).

==== Motion to dismiss for First Amendment violation (Doc. 29) ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NQvLBlRbUgbDNmKES2HJfYWdhi2mLboQ/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Filed March 14, 2022, Whitsitt's 16-page motion argued the government violated his First Amendment rights in seven areas:

# '''Free Exercise of Religion''' — Whitsitt framed flat earth advocacy as a religious obligation, arguing the Bible describes the earth as "an immovable and fixed, topographical plane, contained within a firmament." He cited several Scripture passages and claimed a spiritual duty to warn people about what he described as government deception regarding the shape of the earth, COVID masking, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, temperature screenings, and digital tracking systems. He connected all of these topics to the biblical "Mark of the Beast" prophecy in Revelation 13.
# '''Number of the Beast''' — Whitsitt argued the heliocentric model is encoded with the number 666, citing the earth's axial tilt (66.6°), orbital speed (66,600 mph), and other figures. He claimed NASA's name means "to deceive" in Hebrew and that NASA projects are named after pagan deities.
# '''Freedom of Speech and Press''' — He argued he was spontaneously speaking from inside a recreational vehicle at a gas station while waiting for a blocked exit to clear, and that the ranger's requirement of a permit for any "First Amendment activity" constituted prior restraint.
# '''Peaceable Assembly''' — Whitsitt contended that bystanders voluntarily gathered on public sidewalks to listen, which the government mischaracterized as a disruptive "traffic jam."
# '''Grievances''' — He argued the government specifically targeted his speech because it was critical of the government ("anti-government").
# '''Content-Based Censorship''' — Whitsitt pointed to the Mount Rushmore BOLO communication and the ranger's interest in the content of his speech as evidence of viewpoint discrimination.
# '''Unconstitutional "First Amendment Areas"''' — He cited ''Boardley v. U.S. Department of the Interior'', 615 F.3d 508 (2010), which found that requiring individuals to obtain permits before engaging in expressive activities in designated "free speech areas" violates the First Amendment.

==== Denial of motion to dismiss ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HFu_k4ArroJbc_iDc70cliaK9rKFzWOt/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The court denied Whitsitt's motion to dismiss for First Amendment violations.

=== Discovery dispute (Doc. 37) ===

Whitsitt requested production of all evidence related to the incident, including all permit request approvals and denials in Yellowstone since 2013 and all superintendent designations of free speech areas. In an order dated April 11, 2022, Chief Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin denied the request, finding the government had complied with Rule 16 discovery obligations and that Whitsitt had not made a prima facie showing of materiality for the additional records.

The government also admitted during a status conference that body camera footage from Ranger L'Ecuyer could not be located, but denied altering or redacting any audio or video recordings.

=== Bench trial (Doc. 38) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cEl7uus-pHDOmy2i4tyff9kisIrFJU4p/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The bench trial took place on April 18, 2022, before Chief United States Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin, at Mammoth Hot Springs with some parties appearing via Zoom. The government was represented by Jonathan Coppom; Whitsitt represented himself.

'''Witnesses called by the Government:'''
* Ranger David Dunn — the citing officer
* Lucia Petrin — civilian witness
* Michael Anderson — civilian witness
* Denise Foster — civilian witness
* Ranger Jill Paxton

'''Witnesses called by the Defense:'''
* Ranger L'Ecuyer — the government had initially declined to call this witness, and their body camera footage was missing
* Ranger David Dunn (recalled)

The government moved to enter Exhibit 5 (video of Whitsitt at Mount Rushmore); Whitsitt objected, but the judge admitted it.

The judge began findings at 12:08 PM and found Whitsitt guilty at 12:21 PM.

=== Sentence (Doc. 40) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VA3nC9gtVIyhKNe1g6NNFhLmiHII4FlH/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Whitsitt was sentenced on April 18, 2022:

* '''Fine:''' $500
* '''Processing fee:''' $30
* '''Special assessment:''' $10
* '''Total financial penalty:''' $540 (due by July 1, 2022)
* '''Unsupervised probation:''' 1 year
* '''Special condition:''' Banned from entering Yellowstone National Park for 1 year

== Selected quotations ==

=== Full moon and new moon ===

<blockquote>
'''Will Duffy:''' What is a full moon and what is a new moon on your model?

'''Austin Whitsitt:''' I think it's probably like a magnetic cycle, and just like the center of a ferrocell image of a magnet, it's just completely black. It's actually just pure inertia in the center in the ferrocell image of a magnet. I think that's what it is. It just actually goes into its inertial state and then charges back up and once it becomes, like, aetherically displaced again, you start to see it charge up throughout its cycle, and then it goes back. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
</blockquote>

=== Southern compasses ===

<blockquote>
'''Austin Whitsitt:''' Apparently southern compasses are a psyop.

== TFE WiFi lies ==
After returning from [[TFE]] Austin claimed that he was refused access to the WiFi for many hours:<br>
"They're not giving us the Wi-Fi so like we we got taken away from the camp that has Wi-Fi and then set up a Wi-Fi in our own place but then so we were basically unable to really check in with people unable to like try to quickly do a live stream or anything like that for like many hours you know like a seven eight hours or maybe till the next morning."<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyGnDvmHwzg YouTube link]

Or maybe it was 10-12 hours:<br>
"I mentioned needing to do wanted to do a live stream and he's like oh do you need the Wi-Fi password so in his mind we would just be out there stranded no Wi-Fi for you know 10 12 hours or whatever"<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhuUAbSpJdU YouTube link]

Or was it 18 hours:
"Information we go out to the other place we set up the star link we get the Wi-Fi uh the globers have the Wi-Fi mun has the Wi-Fi password Mark to set up the attempt to 24-Hour live stream has a password Duffy Does Duffy's going to do a stream at 12's going to do a stream at 2 a.m. and it's like critical think over there on his computer mckean's on his computer everyone's got the Wi-Fi password but they like refus to give the flat earthers the Wi-Fi password and that was the case for like 18 and hours."<br>

== Snake oil salesman ==

Witsit tries to sell snake oil to his viewers. Austin owns the website, [https://aethericstate.com/ Aetheric State], where he sells an electrolyte drink mix. The [https://www.dragonsblends.com/ manufacturer] suggests the drink mix might cure cancer. Witsit charges $160 USD for the mix, however, it costs less than $15 USD to make the exact same drink mix using ingredients bought from the supermarket. [https://globesec.net/posts/whitsitt-aetherade-scam/ Globesec wrote an article] referring to the drink mix as "Aetherade."

== Alleged substance abuse at debate convention ==
Witsit attends 'Debate Cons' as a speaker, but in one instance was noted by onlookers to be singularly unpopular at the VIP lunch afterwards, with event organisers specifically attempting to steer guests to spend time with him at his table:

<blockquote>
[[File:Witsit-alone-again.png|300px|Witsit unable to attract social attention]]
</blockquote>

It is further [https://www.reddit.com/r/flatearth/comments/1r6qjhu/comment/o5sge31/ alleged] that he returned from a bathroom break, quote "tweaked out of his mind".

== White supremacism ==

Austin co-hosted a podcast entitled 'White Families, White Nation' in 2024 alongside a number of other believers in ethnic and racial determinism such as host Brother Nathaniel. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMdjfjsyATh/ <q>White Families, White Nation Podcast</q>]</ref>

<blockquote>
[[File:Witsit-white-supremacist.png.png|300px|Witsit's white supremacist podcast]]
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Whitsitt: You have a problem with Jewish supremacy but white people need to also take responsibility. That's why I said, nobody put a gun to your head and said you can't have babies. No one put a gun to your head and said this take out this loan, no one put a gun to your head and said 'go get addicted to porn'. Those are all weapons of Jewish supremacy. But it requires consent. So individual responsibility, collective responsibility is a major part of it. I think the conversation calling out this power structure IS ALREADY BEING NORMALIZED. Just go look look at X [social media]. It's al-- too late, like, the cat's already out of bag in my opinion. It's much more about collectivizing the reaction. Right, instead of kind of letting it -- get out of control."
</blockquote>

He continues to 'hang out' on social and streaming platforms into 2025 with antisemitic content creators. <ref>[https://rumble.com/v5auerp-witsit-kicks-it-w-brother-nathanael.html <q>Witsit Kicks It w/ Brother Nathanael</q> by WitsitGetsIt]</ref>

== United States v. Whitsitt — Yellowstone federal case ==

''Case No. 5:21-PO-00627-MLC, United States District Court for the District of Wyoming''

=== Background ===

On August 4, 2021, Whitsitt was at the Mammoth Hot Springs gas station in Yellowstone National Park when he began spontaneously preaching about flat earth, biblical cosmology, COVID-related government overreach, and anti-government conspiracy theories from inside a recreational vehicle to passersby. Park rangers had received advance notice from Mount Rushmore National Memorial about Whitsitt, who had previously been cited there for a First Amendment protest permit violation while filming for TikTok with amplified speakers. Radio communications between rangers described the subjects as "flat earthers" whose speech had been "political in nature."

Ranger David Dunn (#1400) issued Whitsitt a violation notice, originally charging "failure to obtain a permit." Upon detainment, the ranger told Whitsitt that "First Amendment activity" required a permit. The charge was later amended to "Demonstration in Undesignated Area" under 36 C.F.R. § 2.51(b)(j).

=== Whitsitt's pro se defense ===

Whitsitt represented himself throughout the case. He filed two motions to dismiss: one for facial invalidity of 36 C.F.R. § 2.51, and a second arguing First Amendment violations. His filings listed a Box Elder, South Dakota mailing address (514 Americas Way PMB 17789) and his Protonmail email (Witsit@protonmail.com).

==== Motion to dismiss for First Amendment violation (Doc. 29) ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NQvLBlRbUgbDNmKES2HJfYWdhi2mLboQ/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Filed March 14, 2022, Whitsitt's 16-page motion argued the government violated his First Amendment rights in seven areas:

# '''Free Exercise of Religion''' — Whitsitt framed flat earth advocacy as a religious obligation, arguing the Bible describes the earth as "an immovable and fixed, topographical plane, contained within a firmament." He cited several Scripture passages and claimed a spiritual duty to warn people about what he described as government deception regarding the shape of the earth, COVID masking, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, temperature screenings, and digital tracking systems. He connected all of these topics to the biblical "Mark of the Beast" prophecy in Revelation 13.
# '''Number of the Beast''' — Whitsitt argued the heliocentric model is encoded with the number 666, citing the earth's axial tilt (66.6°), orbital speed (66,600 mph), and other figures. He claimed NASA's name means "to deceive" in Hebrew and that NASA projects are named after pagan deities.
# '''Freedom of Speech and Press''' — He argued he was spontaneously speaking from inside a recreational vehicle at a gas station while waiting for a blocked exit to clear, and that the ranger's requirement of a permit for any "First Amendment activity" constituted prior restraint.
# '''Peaceable Assembly''' — Whitsitt contended that bystanders voluntarily gathered on public sidewalks to listen, which the government mischaracterized as a disruptive "traffic jam."
# '''Grievances''' — He argued the government specifically targeted his speech because it was critical of the government ("anti-government").
# '''Content-Based Censorship''' — Whitsitt pointed to the Mount Rushmore BOLO communication and the ranger's interest in the content of his speech as evidence of viewpoint discrimination.
# '''Unconstitutional "First Amendment Areas"''' — He cited ''Boardley v. U.S. Department of the Interior'', 615 F.3d 508 (2010), which found that requiring individuals to obtain permits before engaging in expressive activities in designated "free speech areas" violates the First Amendment.

==== Denial of motion to dismiss ====

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HFu_k4ArroJbc_iDc70cliaK9rKFzWOt/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The court denied Whitsitt's motion to dismiss for First Amendment violations.

=== Discovery dispute (Doc. 37) ===

Whitsitt requested production of all evidence related to the incident, including all permit request approvals and denials in Yellowstone since 2013 and all superintendent designations of free speech areas. In an order dated April 11, 2022, Chief Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin denied the request, finding the government had complied with Rule 16 discovery obligations and that Whitsitt had not made a prima facie showing of materiality for the additional records.

The government also admitted during a status conference that body camera footage from Ranger L'Ecuyer could not be located, but denied altering or redacting any audio or video recordings.

=== Bench trial (Doc. 38) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cEl7uus-pHDOmy2i4tyff9kisIrFJU4p/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

The bench trial took place on April 18, 2022, before Chief United States Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin, at Mammoth Hot Springs with some parties appearing via Zoom. The government was represented by Jonathan Coppom; Whitsitt represented himself.

'''Witnesses called by the Government:'''
* Ranger David Dunn — the citing officer
* Lucia Petrin — civilian witness
* Michael Anderson — civilian witness
* Denise Foster — civilian witness
* Ranger Jill Paxton

'''Witnesses called by the Defense:'''
* Ranger L'Ecuyer — the government had initially declined to call this witness, and their body camera footage was missing
* Ranger David Dunn (recalled)

The government moved to enter Exhibit 5 (video of Whitsitt at Mount Rushmore); Whitsitt objected, but the judge admitted it.

The judge began findings at 12:08 PM and found Whitsitt guilty at 12:21 PM.

=== Sentence (Doc. 40) ===

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VA3nC9gtVIyhKNe1g6NNFhLmiHII4FlH/view?usp=drive_link Full document]

Whitsitt was sentenced on April 18, 2022:

* '''Fine:''' $500
* '''Processing fee:''' $30
* '''Special assessment:''' $10
* '''Total financial penalty:''' $540 (due by July 1, 2022)
* '''Unsupervised probation:''' 1 year
* '''Special condition:''' Banned from entering Yellowstone National Park for 1 year

== Selected quotations ==

=== Full moon and new moon ===

<blockquote>
'''Will Duffy:''' What is a full moon and what is a new moon on your model?

'''Austin Whitsitt:''' I think it's probably like a magnetic cycle, and just like the center of a ferrocell image of a magnet, it's just completely black. It's actually just pure inertia in the center in the ferrocell image of a magnet. I think that's what it is. It just actually goes into its inertial state and then charges back up and once it becomes, like, aetherically displaced again, you start to see it charge up throughout its cycle, and then it goes back. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
</blockquote>

=== Southern compasses ===

<blockquote>
'''Austin Whitsitt:''' Apparently southern compasses are a psyop.
</blockquote>

== Misogyny and domestic abuse ==

Main Article: [[Austin Witsit/Misogyny and domestic abuse]]

This subpage covers '''misogyny and domestic abuse''' allegations and related material concerning Whitsitt.

== TFE WiFi lies ==
After returning from [[TFE]] Austin claimed that he was refused access to the WiFi for many hours:<br>
"They're not giving us the Wi-Fi so like we we got taken away from the camp that has Wi-Fi and then set up a Wi-Fi in our own place but then so we were basically unable to really check in with people unable to like try to quickly do a live stream or anything like that for like many hours you know like a seven eight hours or maybe till the next morning."<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyGnDvmHwzg YouTube link]

Or maybe it was 10-12 hours:<br>
"I mentioned needing to do wanted to do a live stream and he's like oh do you need the Wi-Fi password so in his mind we would just be out there stranded no Wi-Fi for you know 10 12 hours or whatever"<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhuUAbSpJdU YouTube link]

Or was it 18 hours:
"Information we go out to the other place we set up the star link we get the Wi-Fi uh the globers have the Wi-Fi mun has the Wi-Fi password Mark to set up the attempt to 24-Hour live stream has a password Duffy Does Duffy's going to do a stream at 12's going to do a stream at 2 a.m. and it's like critical think over there on his computer mckean's on his computer everyone's got the Wi-Fi password but they like refus to give the flat earthers the Wi-Fi password and that was the case for like 18 and hours."<br>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYvOKwfRF6I YouTube link]

== Snake oil salesman ==

Witsit tries to sell snake oil to his viewers. Austin owns the website, [https://aethericstate.com/ Aetheric State], where he sells an electrolyte drink mix. The [https://www.dragonsblends.com/ manufacturer] suggests the drink mix might cure cancer. Witsit charges $160 USD for the mix, however, it costs less than $15 USD to make the exact same drink mix using ingredients bought from the supermarket. [https://globesec.net/posts/whitsitt-aetherade-scam/ Globesec wrote an article] referring to the drink mix as "Aetherade."

= Alleged Substance Abuse at Debate Convention =
Witsit attends 'Debate Cons' as a speaker, but in one instance was noted by onlookers to be singularly unpopular at the VIP lunch afterwards, with event organisers specifically attempting to steer guests to spend time with him at his table:

<blockquote>
[[File:Witsit-alone-again.png|300px|Witsit unable to attract social attention]]
</blockquote>

It is further [https://www.reddit.com/r/flatearth/comments/1r6qjhu/comment/o5sge31/ alleged] that he returned from a bathroom break, quote "tweaked out of his mind".

== White supremacism ==

Austin co-hosted a podcast entitled 'White Families, White Nation' in 2024 alongside a number of other believers in ethnic and racial determinism such as host Brother Nathaniel. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMdjfjsyATh/ <q>White Families, White Nation Podcast</q>]</ref>

<blockquote>
[[File:Witsit-white-supremacist.png.png|300px|Witsit's white supremacist podcast]]
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Whitsitt: You have a problem with Jewish supremacy but white people need to also take responsibility. That's why I said, nobody put a gun to your head and said you can't have babies. No one put a gun to your head and said this take out this loan, no one put a gun to your head and said 'go get addicted to porn'. Those are all weapons of Jewish supremacy. But it requires consent. So individual responsibility, collective responsibility is a major part of it. I think the conversation calling out this power structure IS ALREADY BEING NORMALIZED. Just go look look at X [social media]. It's al-- too late, like, the cat's already out of bag in my opinion. It's much more about collectivizing the reaction. Right, instead of kind of letting it -- get out of control."
</blockquote>

He continues to 'hang out' on social and streaming platforms into 2025 with antisemitic content creators. <ref>[https://rumble.com/v5auerp-witsit-kicks-it-w-brother-nathanael.html <q>Witsit Kicks It w/ Brother Nathanael</q> by WitsitGetsIt]</ref>

== Claims of psychic powers ==
Austin claims his B negative blood type gives him psychic powers.

<blockquote>

This is apparent when reading the book's description on Gumroad:

<blockquote>
What if the standard story of the scientific revolution, that ancient thinkers fumbled in error until Copernicus and Newton set them straight, is itself a misreading of history? What if, beneath the familiar narrative of spheres and epicycles, there was a completely different kind of physics, one rooted not in abstract mathematics but in the tangible behavior of fluids, pressures, and fields?

This book reconstructs that lost physics. Drawing on two thousand years of empirical work, from the Ionian natural philosophers through the Islamic Golden Age to the private manuscripts of Isaac Newton, it maps a cosmos that was an enclosed, self‑sustaining, electro‑pneumatic engine. Its practitioners built siphons, pumps, and capacitors. They measured atmospheric pressure, mapped standing wave patterns, and harnessed electrical discharge. Their framework was never experimentally refuted. It was set aside, not because it failed, but because a different mathematical language made the void more convenient.

In recovering this framework, the book uncovers a single harmonic constant that unifies phenomena across scales, from the rotation of pulsars to the oscillations of the human brain, and lays the foundation for a predictive model of earthquakes, solar flares, and geomagnetic storms that has been back‑tested with 100% accuracy.

The World As We Knew It is the first volume of a series that culminates in a rigorous, falsifiable reinterpretation of astronomy, combustion, and atmospheric physics. It is a work of historical recovery and physical synthesis. It does not ask the reader to believe. It asks the reader to look again, at the evidence, at the instruments, and at the sky.

They are the "author" of ''The World As We Knew It: The Plenum Unbroken'' ([https://harmonicearththeory.gumroad.com/l/foqlc?layout=discover&recommended_by=search&_gl=1*1b5jjun*_ga*MTg0NDIwMjgyOC4xNzg0ODk1NzUx*_ga_6LJN6D94N6*czE3ODQ4OTU3NTEkbzEkZzEkdDE3ODQ4OTU4MzAkajYwJGwwJGgw external link]), a book likely to be entirely written by a LLM. This is apparent when reading the book's description on Gumroad:

<blockquote>
What if the standard story of the scientific revolution, that ancient thinkers fumbled in error until Copernicus and Newton set them straight, is itself a misreading of history? What if, beneath the familiar narrative of spheres and epicycles, there was a completely different kind of physics, one rooted not in abstract mathematics but in the tangible behavior of fluids, pressures, and fields?

This book reconstructs that lost physics. Drawing on two thousand years of empirical work, from the Ionian natural philosophers through the Islamic Golden Age to the private manuscripts of Isaac Newton, it maps a cosmos that was an enclosed, self‑sustaining, electro‑pneumatic engine. Its practitioners built siphons, pumps, and capacitors. They measured atmospheric pressure, mapped standing wave patterns, and harnessed electrical discharge. Their framework was never experimentally refuted. It was set aside, not because it failed, but because a different mathematical language made the void more convenient.

In recovering this framework, the book uncovers a single harmonic constant that unifies phenomena across scales, from the rotation of pulsars to the oscillations of the human brain, and lays the foundation for a predictive model of earthquakes, solar flares, and geomagnetic storms that has been back‑tested with 100% accuracy.

The World As We Knew It is the first volume of a series that culminates in a rigorous, falsifiable reinterpretation of astronomy, combustion, and atmospheric physics. It is a work of historical recovery and physical synthesis. It does not ask the reader to believe. It asks the reader to look again, at the evidence, at the instruments, and at the sky.

== Debate with a pilot ==
On July 20, 2026, Iron Horse "debated" Karl Becker, a pilot with significant flying experience in the Navy and for an airline. Iron Horse, with significant beer-drinking experience, believed he could challenge Karl's evidence.

=== Debate highlights ===
==== Planes should drop one and a half Burj Khalifas per minute due to Earth curvature ====

Throughout the debate Iron Horse seemed to love using the [[Wikipedia:Burj Khalifa|Burj Khalifa]] as a unit of measurement. In this instance he claims that a plane flying at 600 mph (521 kts) should need to "drop" by one and a half Burj Khalifas per minute to stay parallel to Earth's surface.

Iron Horse says that after one hour (600 miles), "you're gonna be dropping 45.45 miles".
He then divides this number by 60 to get the "drop per minute", which comes out to about 0.75 miles per minute.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/ZRwOazstYzg?si=CRM6BuEE0WEfiiP6&t=1110 Pilot debate at 18:30]</ref>

Of course, Iron Horse's math is completely useless because the drop from a horizontal tangent increases exponentially. He even points this out, but somehow doesn't realise that it completely invalidates his calculation. The so-called "drop per minute" would be different depending on which distance you initially calculate.

Karl correctly points out that the horizontal line in Iron Horse's diagram represents a climb and not level flight. Flat earthers generally cannot understand that a plane does not need to constantly descend in order to remain parallel to Earth's surface.

==Flat Earth claims==
===The sun does not give off heat===
In a January 2025 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCaMEj7SuRY YouTube video], Thatcher declares that "heat is caused by the sun but does not come from the sun", and "the heat comes form the atmosphere [and] it comes from the light... the light comes from the sun; the heat comes from the light", and later, "the heat comes from the earth, not from the sun". Don't worry, you didn't just have a stroke, Iron Horse is making absolutely no sense.
