Review of First World War False Flag Colin Simpson: Lusitania
Lusitania a lure to get USA into WW1—detailed, but weak presentation., February 8, 20126 March 2021: See https://big-lies.org/mileswmathis/lusi.pdf for Miles Mathis who doesn't believe the story. Well, ships are expensive...
The Lusitania was sunk in May 1915 just off Ireland, by a German U boat. Colin Simpson does his best to establish this was planned, to get the USA into war against Germany. Simpson seems to be, or have been then, a journalist. He wrote this book in 1972, after visiting Kinsale, near Cork, close to the scene of the sinking. Before his book, the sinking was 'proclaimed as an act of naked and brutal aggression'. The incident was more or less analogous to '9/11' and was used to help get the USA into the war. Simpson added an epilogue in 1983, but in it he says nothing about how his book was reviewed or received (or—my guess—ignored).
The 'Merseyside' edition was 'edited' by William David Roberts, some sort of BBC employee who broadcast the story on Radio Merseyside, and was inundated with requests for the then hard-to-find book. (The Liverpool connection was that Lusitania, like Titanic, sailed from Liverpool; unlike the Titanic it sailed to the USA over 100 times). Unfortunately the book is very badly produced: there's no table of the illustrations—it took me some time just to find the map of Ireland. The chapters are numbered, but without indication of what's in each chapter. It's impossible to be sure whether the text is edited, and if so, by whom. It's not clear whether Roberts added anything, or just helped assemble the parts.
This book is about the entire history of the ship—and includes details on the German advertisement of warning in American newspapers, the valuables on board, Churchill's policy, various dirty tricks such as getting the Germans to make announcements which the press would misrepresent, German codes, the naval blockade of Germany, and attitudes to the War—many British aristocrats thought Britain would emerge much stronger, for example; the Americans didn't. There's an impressive list of sources. Some documents are still secret, which alone helps substantiate the conspiracy belief.
A creditable pioneering book on the subject, but without a clear statement of what the author found. Importance is five star; execution of the plan is three star.
• Incidentally, as with Titanic, there's a mystery explosion issue (which I think has an overlooked solution: water coming into contact with red-hot coal flashes into steam; this may account for explosions).
There are several other issues about Titanic:–
• The sister-ship-switch possibility, with Olympic, after Titanic was damaged in collision with a naval ship: with the dual motive of collecting insurance and getting rid of the defective vessel.
(Rather similar to the 9/11 Jewish fraud, which removed the grandiosely-named impractical 'World Trade Center' buildings—and others).
• Another more-or-less identical ship, Britannic came to a wartime end
• Astor and other fabulously wealthy men were drowned on their way to New York; air travel was decades in the future. This was 1912—the 'Fed' was formed in 1913. Could he have been one of the plotters? Or even, possibly, an honest man? For that matter, could he have known the 'Great War' was planned?
