May 2015 Secret of the Lusitania: Arms Find Contra 'history'

[Chaos Warrior]

Interesting stuff....old news to some.

[ashgarth]

very interesting she was orderd to sail at half speed as well.To conserve fuel was the oficial story even though it was known that the u boat was in the area.The sub had sunk another ship the day before.The uboat commander could not believe his luck when he saw her going slow.This is only one case of civillians being sacrifised for an agenda yet millions of people think that goverments would not do such a thing to its own people.This is why they get away with it.Has anybody delved into the sinking of the ESTONIA that was similar munitions arms cover up.

The Titanic story is very dubious as well. It had some vip passengers invited aboard by JP Morgan to accompany Morgan and they all conveniently died while Morgan cried off at the last minute saying he was ill. They were the congressmen most opposed to the establishment of the Federal Reserve. With them out of the way it was clear for the establishment of the iniquitous Fed to do its evil from which we are suffering increasingly today. Insufficient lifeboats and wrong coloured flares indeed!! How remiss!

Secret of the Lusitania: Arms find challenges Allied claims it was solely a passenger ship

Her sinking with the loss of almost 1,200 lives caused such outrage that it propelled the U.S. into the First World War.
But now divers have revealed a dark secret about the cargo carried by the Lusitania on its final journey in May 1915.
Munitions they found in the hold suggest that the Germans had been right all along in claiming the ship was carrying war materials and was a legitimate military target.


Doomed: A contemporary view of the sinking of the Lusitania off Ireland in May 1915
The Cunard vessel, steaming from New York to Liverpool, was sunk eight miles off the Irish coast by a U-boat.
Maintaining that the Lusitania was solely a passenger vessel, the British quickly accused the 'Pirate Hun' of
slaughtering civilians.
The disaster was used to whip up anti-German anger, especially in the U.S., where 128 of the 1,198 victims came from.
A hundred of the dead were children, many of them under two.
Robert Lansing, the U.S. secretary of state, later wrote that the sinking gave him the 'conviction we would ultimately become the ally of Britain'.
Americans were even told, falsely, that German children were given a day off school to celebrate the sinking of the Lusitania.
The disaster inspired a multitude of recruitment posters demanding vengeance for the victims.


One, famously showing a young mother slipping below the waves with her baby, carried the simple slogan 'Enlist'.
Two years later, the Americans joined the Allies as an associated power - a decision that turned the war decisively against Germany.
The diving team estimates that around four million rounds of U.S.-manufactured Remington .303 bullets lie in the Lusitania's hold at a depth of 300ft.
The Germans had insisted the Lusitania - the fastest liner in the North Atlantic - was being used as a weapons ship to break the blockade Berlin had been trying to impose around Britain since the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914.
Winston Churchill, who was first Lord of the Admiralty and has long been suspected of knowing more about the circumstances of the attack than he let on in public, wrote in a confidential letter shortly before the sinking that some German submarine attacks were to be welcomed.

He said: 'It is most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope especially of embroiling the U.S. with Germany.
'For our part we want the traffic - the more the better and if some of it gets into trouble, better still.'
Hampton Sides, a writer with Men's Vogue in the U.S., witnessed the divers' discovery.
He said: 'They are bullets that were expressly manufactured to kill Germans in World War I - bullets that British officials in Whitehall, and American officials in Washington, have long denied were aboard the Lusitania.'
The discovery may help explain why the 787ft Lusitania sank within 18 minutes of a single German torpedo slamming into its hull.
Some of the 764 survivors reported a second explosion which might have been munitions going off.
Gregg Bemis, an American businessman who owns the rights to the wreck and is funding its exploration, said: 'Those four million rounds of .303s were not just some private hunter's stash.
'Now that we've found it, the British can't deny any more that there was ammunition on board. That raises the question of what else was on board.
'There were literally tons and tons of stuff stored in unrefrigerated cargo holds that were dubiously marked cheese, butter and oysters.
'I've always felt there were some significant high explosives in the holds - shells, powder, gun cotton - that were set off by the torpedo and the inflow of water. That's what sank the ship.'
Mr Bemis is planning to commission further dives next year in a full-scale forensic examination of the wreck off County Cork.

May 2015 was 100th anniversary of the Lusitania false flag operation.

Among other things, there's a pair of British (Scottish) authors who have written and published what reads like THE single most important book on WWI ("Hidden History" (2013)):

Gerry Docherty & Jim Macgregor

Furthermore, Andreas Prochaska, who made a film titled "Das Attentat ["The Assassination"]: Sarajevo, 1914", which fits right into this truth-seeking effort.
