Bad engineering and design; a captain full of bluster trying to make a speed record and throwing caution to the wind had no role in the accident. It was anti-Catholics bias.
"Divine intervention has long been a blamed by some for playing a role in the sinking of the Titanic during its maiden voyage in 1912. Harland and Wolff, the East Belfast shipyard where the ship was manufactured, was notorious for not hiring Catholics. In the 1900’s the workforce was entirely Protestant and virulently anti -Catholic.
'At Harland and Wolff it was not unknown for workers to paint on the sides of ships under construction the words "NO POPE" in letters ten feet high or more,' writes naval historian David Allen Butler. There were widespread stories that each rivet hammered into the Titanic was accompanied by a "f--- the pope" epithet.
Any Catholics who were hired were subject to blatant discrimination. Some had hammers dropped on them from above and the atmosphere against Catholics was described as "poisonous".'
We report, you decide.
Still looking for even the slightest connection between this anti-Catholicism, and the ship sinking.
I think the HAARP people developed a time machine and went back to use the power of the Chemtrails to move the iceberg into the path of the ship. Then cold water and physics did the rest.
'Iceberg'. Sounds like a Jewish name, to me. (can't take credit for that one...it's been a stock joke in Jewish circles since about 1912)
Maybe the Icebergs were aware of all those Catholics in Steerage, and sent their black sheep (it was one of those black Icebergs, you know...maybe it was adopted, and when it couldn't get into Med School...) to keep them from getting to America. Straus and Guggenheim were just collateral damage, I suppose. Or maybe they were getting too 'epicurean', and got 'smote' down with the Catholics.
Honestly... I've tried to envision the sort of sicko who would (without irony) give his son one of those little Jesus playing Football statues. I'm starting to get a clearer picture now, though.
