Explain.
Each year more than 20 million people take a trip on a cruise ship and return safely. While most of these voyages are in the Caribbean many ships also traverse the Baltic, Bering and North Seas as well as the Gulf of Alaska.
When's the last time you heard of one hitting an iceberg let alone SINKING from one?
But we're supposed to believe that some 1,517 people died aboard the Titanic after it struck an ice berg?
COMMON SENSE CHECK: Take an ice cube and throw it at your car, did it cut the steel? Of course not! Because scientifically speaking, ice is only frozen water!
If ice can't cut steel then the story as we've been told it has to be thrown out.
Here's what we know for sure.
- Titanic had two sister ships; Olympic and Brittanic
- In 1911, Olympic collided with a royal navy ship and sustained significant damage. Because Olympic was found at fault in the collision the White Star Line's Insurer refused to pay up.
- 10 days before the "Titanic's" maiden voyage a fire started in its coal bunker and could not be extinguished. The WSL went forward with the voyage despite the fire which damaged the hull's integrity.
- Aboard the "Titanic" were three prominent financiers and political leaders who opposed the creation of the Federal Reserve: John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim and Isidor Straus. They died when the ship sunk and the Federal Reserve was then created in 1913.
- Robert Ballard found no remnants of the supposed "ice berg" in his multiple dives to the ship's wreckage
So with those facts the picture becomes clear.
The Olympic's collision put the WSL in dire financial straits and in need of an influx of cash, this was achieved when they were approached by JP Morgan who saw an opportunity to remove three of his opponents from the markets and also make a ton of money. Olympic and Titanic were then switched because the insurer would have to pay out the price of a new ship if the brand new Titanic sunk. The fact that zero Israelis died in the sinking seems to indicate that JP Morgan contracted the Mossad to start the coal fires which eventually sunk the ship

How does DiCaprio feel about the Federal Reserve? That’s the burning question here.

So I went out and did there and the ice cut the hood on my F150 platinum. Now what are we left with?
Maybe Henry Ford was in on it!

Put a drop of water up your nose, did you drown? Of course not! Therefore, no one has ever drowned.

So the Mossad (formed in the 40s) sunk a ship in the 1910s?

Titanic wasn't discovered in what 70+ years.

Not that it's been proven exactly, but that Sagan fella said there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth.
Which is why I’ve always believed there is life out there.
Hell, there could be millions of earth like planets.
But the distances are so vast we might never really know

Yeah, same for me. The distances between things and sizes of some of the things we know about in the universe just boggle my mind.
And because of the size of the universe, the numbers of galaxies we even know about and the fact scientists are discovering more and more planets in other solar systems that are in the same approximation as earth is to our sun makes me think there surely has to be other life out there and we are not the only life in all of this.

Like you, space and death.
Space gives me anxiety to think about. My irrational fear is that earth just falls out of its orbit and we die. I just don’t get how the earth is just floating in space. I mean I get gravity blah blah but it’s hard to wrap my head around.
And yes death is also weird. Just no more consciousness? Idk I don’t get it but I’ve never died so
