That his video might be authentically unpopular is out of the question. Someone out there is acting against him, he says. It’s just not clear exactly whom.

World War Flat Earth

Mike “Mad Mike” Hughes is one of the biggest stars on the Flat Earth scene. His conference exhibit—a limousine he used for a world-record stunt jump, and a homemade rocket he rode this year—occupy the coveted space in the center of the Flat Earth Conference vendor room.

A self-taught rocket stuntman who doesn’t believe in science, he’s a hard man to mimic.

So why is someone trying to steal his identity?

“He’s got a fake website of mine: madmikehughes dot live,” Hughes tells me of a website an impostor set up in his name. “I’m Mad Mike Hughes. He’s selling merchandise on it.”

The person has also set up GoFundMe accounts in Hughes’ name. The impostor website solicits donations, advertises Infowars, and claims to be run by a “Tim Ozman.”

“ Flat Earth is weird, but this is weird-weird. This is shitposting into oblivion. This is the information equivalent of clear-cutting a forest. ”

The trouble is that a cluster of characters in the Flat Earth community all claim to be the same Tim Ozman (or Osman, depending on their preferred spelling). Hughes, who ties the name to a 9/11 conspiracy theory, says the real Tim Ozman is his business partner, Jack.

Somewhere in this mess of Tims is a bomb threat and a fake FBI raid. Two months ago, one of the alleged Ozmans uploaded a video accusing Jack of threatening to bomb the Flat Earth conference. In late October, a different YouTube channel claiming to be Ozman uploaded a video purportedly showing an FBI raid on his home in relation to the bomb threat. He claimed the bomb threat was a hoax to silence him.

But the footage is originally from a California CBS affiliate and it’s from May. The video is a hoax about the FBI responding to a hoax between warring Flat Earth factions. Hughes says both channels—the one that reported the bomb threat and the one that reported the raid—are fake. I show Hughes a picture of

 That his video might be authentically unpopular is out of the doubt. Someone away there is acting against him, he says. It ’s barely not well-defined exactly whom.

 The fuss is that a cluster of characters in the Flat Earth residential district all claim to be the like Tim Ozman (or Osman, depending on their preferred spelling). Hughes, who ties the name to a 9/11 conspiracy theory, say the real Tim Ozman is his business partner, Jack. 

 Somewhere in this mess of Tims is a bomb calorimeter threat and a fake FBI raid. Two months ago, one of the alleged Ozmans uploaded a television accusing Jack of threatening to bomb the Flat Earth conference. In belated October, a different YouTube groove claiming to be Ozman uploaded a video purportedly showing an FBI raid on his base in relation to the bomb threat. He claim the bomb threat was a hoax to silence him. 

 But the footage is in the first place from a California CBS affiliate and it ’s from May. The video is a fraud about the FBI responding to a hoax between warring Flat Earth factions. Hughes say both channels — the one that report the bomb terror and the one that reported the raid — are fake. I show Hughes a picture of
