12/20/2008: "Proof found that Lusitania was carrying the arms that the Germans claimed, in order to force Germany to sink her"

Maintaining that the Lusitania was solely a passenger vessel, the British quickly accused the 'Pirate Hun' of slaughtering civilians.

The disaster was used to whip up anti-German anger, especially in the U.S., where 128 of the 1,198 victims came from.


Americans were even told, falsely, that German children were given a day off school to celebrate the sinking of the Lusitania.

The diving team estimates that around four million rounds of U.S.-manufactured Remington .303 bullets lie in the Lusitania's hold at a depth of 300ft.

[ It should be safe to claim this "false flag" attack as a fact now, without fear of being categorized as a lunatic "conspiracy theorist". ]
