And to repeat my mantra – misinformation about medical matters can kill.
I can't see an easy answer.
The Titanic conspiracy theory needs development. I very much doubt whether a Rockerfeller owned Harland & Wolff as it has always been known for its association with the Northern Irish Unionist community, but if he did, what’s the theory there? Did he sneak into the designer’s office last one night to incorporate fatal flaws into the design or did he wander around the boat yard pulling out rivets?
And then you need some way to explain how all the people who opposed the formation of the Fed would be in Europe and wanting to sail to the US on the maiden voyage. Hypnotism maybe?
And then there’s the weather - it had to be dead calm to encourage the captain to maintain full speed and to make it difficult for the iceberg to be spotted (because there were no waves breaking around its base)
And then there’s the collision itself – that had to breach at least five of the watertight components as the ship was designed to survive damage to four.
And then there’s the lack of a timely rescue. The captain of the nearby SS Californian would have had to have been persuaded to ignore the Titanic’s’ distress signals and the next nearest ship, the RMS Carpathia, would have had to be sufficiently far away as to not be able to get there in time to save those who went into the water.
If you can sort those points out, I reckon you will have a conspiracy theory with legs and it would spread quite well on Twitter as ‘the truth’.
What do you see as the issue with the ownership of the Fed? You don’t seem to trust governments, so I assume you wouldn’t like it to be government owned either?
And what is your issue with Bill Gates? Alright, his company may have been behind Windows 8, which was a crime against computer owning humanity but is that reason to demonise the bloke?
Looking into things is good. It has always been a big part of my working life and that seems to have extended into my non-working life, but looking into things only works if you work on the assumption that a lot of stuff on the internet is cobblers.
Who is stopping people asking questions? I'm asking plenty about the stuff that you have bought into.
