I find it ironic that the funding of the Titanic was handled by JP Morgan.  He was booked to be on the maiden voyage, but cancelled at the last minute.  I guess he was too busy heading to Jeckyl Island to fund his next Titanic, the USSA and the Federal Reserve.

The evidence is overwhelming.

The Titanic did not sink that night. From the 401 number on the propeller to the 14 porthole windows near the bow.

 It was indeed the Olympic. 

This is a classic example of how the rich will go to any and all lengths to stay that way. To get to where these guys are, you must be a special kind of sociopath–or you won't make it there.

Not everything, no. Simply most things directly connected to the banking cabal.

Or are you one of those crazy coincidence theorists?

John Jacob Astor, one of the only financial elites of the age vocally opposed to the Jekyll Island schemers and the "reforms" post-Panic of 1907, also just happened to be on board. Bear in mind that Astor was "new money"; the fortune he amassed in mere decades in the fur trade matched that of the Rothschild's metals empire that took centuries to build. They hated each other. Who owned the White Star Line? JP Morgan, was it? Who gave Morgan his startup capital, again? 

What are the odds, eh?

Not a perfect analogy… Back in 1912  when the Titanic hit an iceberg, in short order everyone was apprised of the dire situation. There were not enough lifeboats to save everyone, but there were enough to save all the women and children and many of the men. Back in those heroic days Captain and crew went down with the ship of course. Today imagine the U.S. is the Titanic, (not to difficult) and it has struck the iceberg. The Captain and crew are telling everyone things are going to be fine. They tell all the passengers to just have another drink while they fix things up so the voyage can continue. Behind the scenes they quietly gather thier rich friends and pile into the lifeboats. There are still many boats left, but instead of saving the woman and children, they loot the cabins of all on board and fill the remaining boats with their ill-gotten gains. As the string of boats rows away from the doomed ship some of the passengers notice and shout "where are you all going?" "Just off to get more Champagne of course" they reply "…carry on!"

As Captain E. J. Smith was informed that the unsinkable Titanic was indeed foundering, the first order of business was to have the band play on...as many of the financiers boarded the insufficient life boats.

Just one big FRAUD to collect on..... 

There's a theory that it wasn't the Titanic but her sister ship Olympic that went down.  The Olympic had been damaged in a collision with a British cruiser the year before and was unlikely to pass seaworthiness inspections.   The collision would also have made her uninsurable.   Lots of rukors of activity before the 'Titanic' launch invlvong the switching of nameplates and things like dinnerware between the two ships with workers sworn to secrecy.  There were also oddly worn carpets for a brand new ship.   The White Star Line collected in full when the 'Titanic' sunk.  And the 'Olympic' served on into WWII.

So how much of the current economic system is pure fraud with the big guys just waiting to collect on the insurance they've taken out?

but you have to wonder - if EVERYONE is betting on collapse, who's going to have anything to pay off those Credit default swaps?   Is gov supposed to bail out the casinos banks endlessly?

Titanic didn't sink. It was it's sister ship, the Olympic. The Olympic had suffered pretty sever damage to where White Star Lines would have to spend a fortune to remake the ship so it was sea worthy.

 

This meant out of the 3 sister ships they would have to completely re-do the Olympic which was going to cost a fortune. Do a little paint job and make the ship look good and then sink it for insurance money. They took their broken ship and sunk it. Do some reading on it, the finances and the names involved should be a clue as to why they would commit insurance fraud.

ZH  CENSORSHIP.  GOOGLE TITANIC  WAS REALLY IT'S  SISTER SHIP THE OLYMPIC TITANIC WAS never sunk. Olympic sustained massive structural hull damage to where they would have to rebuild the ship which would almost broke the company . Look  at the names and who owned white star lines.  This was insurance fraud period. 

Even eye witneses and crew raise  awareness that the schematics was not the titanic but it's sister ship The Olumpic. White Star knew they had a m@ssive Loss so they came up with sinking the olympic but switching decor and art and painting the name titanic.

Easy scheme. Sink your battered ship, repaint and remodel the interior all the while sitting on a severely damaged hull.

That way white star got the insurance fraud money and two other great sister ships -- The Titanic and The Brittania. Google this, its very interesting.
