I can bring similar proof that my cat did it. Ludicrous.
AngryCymraeg,
There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that the Jesuits are indeed behind the sinking of the Titanic. There are numerous article stating this within this very thread. Why dismiss it ?
I can bring similar proof that my cat did it.
Really?
I await your proof with baited breath.
......?????? What does this have to do with the subject in hand?

Rumors of war were in the air all across Europe in 1910,1911,1912 and beyond and Germany,soon after the Titanic went down,was at war with the very same countries that designed,built and sailed that ship...
During World War I,1914-1918,Ireland was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,which entered the war in August 1914 as one of the Entente Powers,along with France and Russia,when it declared war to halt the military expansion of the Central Powers,consisting of the German Empire,the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria...
So after the above facts are known,properly realized and understood within their correct time frame,Germany, sinking the Titanic,doesnt seem like such a far fetched idea after all...
Especially when knowing that the passenger liner Lusitania,which entered service in 1907 and had a length of 787 feet,was sunk by a single torpedo launched from a German U-boat on May 7th 1915 with a loss of 1,198 lives...
Then everything starts to make a lot more sense,the German motives for attacking the Titanic are war motivations and the sinking was a terrorist attack against a civilian target,aimed at the passenger liner Titanic to provoke a war mentality amongst Germanys soon to be enemies and that ship was sent to its watery grave on April-14th 1912,with a loss of 1,503 lives,by a German Submarine launched torpedo...IMO
Opening psychological doorways and windows,subliminal portals that led to the all but forgotten hell of World War One,resulting in the annihilation of 25,000,000 people and many millions more missing,crippled,blinded, maimed and shell shocked...
Germany had no problem attacking Belgium and France during both World Wars...
Germany had no problem attacking Russia during both World Wars killing around 25,000,000 Russians during World War Two...
Germany had no problem crushing Poland During World War Two...
Germany had no problem burning and hanging and gassing and shooting execution style millions of men,millions of women and millions of children during World War Two...
Germany had no problem tearing their own country apart during the hellish and all but forgotten Thirty Years War that killed around 10,000,000 people between 1614 and 1618...
Germany had no problem annihilating around 100,000 people,probably many more,mostly women,who were demonized,accused as being witches,hunted,captured,tortured,hanged and burned alive at the stake...
I could go on and on and on...
So ultimately...Why would Germany sink the Titanic?...They felt like it...

This ship was allowed to set sail with only 20 lifeboats.If i was about to go onboard the titanic and i knew that sad fact,or someone told me that,or i had counted that many myself,i would have never set foot on the ship.A lot of the people that did get on board,must have been mesmerized by the ships supposed indestructibility,or unsinkability.Just blindly believed what the big shots and newpaper tycoons told them like good little sheeple being led to their slaughter ...Hmmmm?

The Influenza Pandemic,perhaps spread by birds,bird flu? during and for a couple of years after WW-1 killed about double the amount of total dead from that war...25 million compared to around 50 million,give or take a few million either way...But there were many millions more that were missing,crippled,maimed,blinded and shell shocked from that war...

During World War I typhus caused three million deaths in Russia and more in Poland and Romania.[citation needed] De-lousing stations were established for troops on the Western front but the disease ravaged the armies of the Eastern front, with over 150,000 dying in Serbia alone. Fatalities were generally between 10 to 40 percent of those infected, and the disease was a major cause of death for those nursing the sick. Between 1918 and 1922 typhus caused at least 3 million deaths out of 20–30 million cases. In Russia after World War I, during the civil war between the White and Red armies, typhus killed three million, largely civilians.
During World War II many German POWs after the loss at Stalingrad died of typhus. Typhus epidemics killed those confined to POW camps, ghettos and inmates in the Nazi Germany concentration camps who were held in unhygienic conditions. Pictures of typhus victims' mass graves can be seen in footage shot at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.[9] Among thousands of prisoners in concentration camps such as Theresienstadt and Bergen-Belsen who died of typhus [9] were Anne Frank at the age of 15 and her sister Margot. Even larger epidemics in the post-war chaos of Europe were only averted by the widespread use of the newly discovered DDT to kill the lice on millions of refugees and displaced persons.
With outdated British Board of Trade regulations, the Titanic's twenty lifeboats actually exceeded requirements by 10 percent capacity [Refrigerator, 1998]. The new safety regulations increased the required number of lifeboats to a number that would accommodate all passengers and crew aboard the ship. Based on the length of the ship, a given number of davits, which are the mechanism used to raise and lower the lifeboats, are mounted along the perimeter of the lower deck. Figure 4 shows the davits and lifeboats on the deck of the Titanic. If the minimum lifeboat capacity is not met, additional lifeboats must be stowed under other boats. Regulations also specify that each of the lifeboats must carry oars, sails, a compass, signalling devices, food, and water. In addition, for large ships, two of the boats need to be motor boats [Manning, 1956].
The sinking of the Titanic was also instrumental in changing the existing regulations for lifeboats on passenger liners. The Titanic was fully compliant with the lifeboat regulations of the day, yet carried only sixteen of them, enough to hold 1,178 passengers—and the Titanic was booked with 2,207 passengers and crew19. However, due to the reluctance of many passengers to leave the ship, believing that it was unsinkable, nearly all the lifeboats were lowered away without their full complement of passengers. In the end, only 705 were saved.

I thought there was some blame cast at the time that the Titanic's lifeboat deficiency was an "economic" decision.
I don't know, but does anybody actually know the lifeboat standards of those times ?
I always wondered why they would not take the passenger capacity and divide that by the lifeboat capacities?

That's fine.
but the Jesuits were not interested in that.
nor was the U17.
I'm going back on topic.
The lifeboat issue is a "sub" topic.
By the way, I can't resist from asking,
did you go to college on a Guggenheim Scholarship ?
I apologise in advance......how ironic if true in this case

No, I didn't go to college on any kind of scholarship. I got there under my own scheme and I fail to see the relevance of your question.
I notice by the way that all this drivel about the Jesuits - and drivel is the only correct word due to the total lack of evidence that they somehow had anything to do with the sinking, unless they could miraculously conjure up an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic - is also off topic as this thread is about the equally ludicrous idea that the German navy sank the Titanic in some kind of failed exercise in terror.

relax relax,
I couldn't resist the irony.
I admire your knowlege as a history major and of the mainstream thinking.
But this is a conspiracy forum and the thread is about a possibility that has some merrit.
The deep reasons involving ww1 are all a collection leading up to many events that affect all of us today.
Without controversial comments, we would not be able to arrive at conclusions, even if those conclusions are not in alignment with mainstream generally accepted ideas.
