RMS Olympic
So what was the real story behind the sinking of RMS Titanic, one of two almost identical twin sister ships, in 1912?...
“The Titanic didn’t sink! The ship that went down in the North Atlantic in 1912 was the Olympic, the Titanic’s sister ship. That’s the intriguing hypothesis of this mix of conjecture and facts that points to what could be the greatest hoax of the century. Both ships were owned by the White Star Line, which was part of J.P. Morgan’s investment empire. The company had reason and opportunity to switch the identities of these luxury liners in order to commit massive insurance fraud. Although the Olympic was a new ship, she had become severely damaged by a series of accidents, which made her unseaworthy and uninsurable. In this book, John Hamer theorizes that, instead of selling her for scrap and taking a huge loss, which might have bankrupted the Morgan venture, the decision was made to switch identities, destroy the Olympic (now posing as the Titanic), collect the insurance, and continue operating the Titanic profitably (now posing as the Olympic). You’ll be amazed at how much compelling evidence there is to support this conclusion.”
G Edward Griffin, author and researcher.
“…Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
‘Sherlock Holmes’, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

There is a longstanding, though highly abused system, in the Western world, that is the basis for our entire lawful and legal system we call "reasonable doubt". There are too many points of question, when it comes to the near identical ships of the Olympic and Titanic, to allow a clear and unquestioning narrative about the lead-up and eventual fate of the ship named Titanic off the coast of America.
This book does not detract from the fact that thousands of lives were lost in the disaster that was assigned to the Titanic in 1912. People travelled on the ship and people died. The question is why, and the recorded facts of the matter produce such doubt in the "official" narrative that in any ordinary court of law offering a plea of "not guilty" for those who took part in the White Star Line's dubious practices could only ever be judged with this reasonable doubt and found guilty.
Also, for modern times, part of the danger of researching these historical misjudgements is often seen as moot. What's the point in dredging up the past? The point is that if the kinds of governments and corporations that allow such deadly misconduct take note of the fact that people do not - or cannot - oppose them, for whatever reason, and continue to operate in conditions that are contrary to the health, safety and wellbeing of the workers and passengers using and working in such environments, then it becomes the norm, and the norm becomes an excuse, no matter the loss.
The "Titanic" disaster was a long time ago. But considering it lived on in memory through multiple mediums, notwithstanding in one of the highest grossing films of all time, it shows that memory has not been allowed to fade, though it has certainly been allowed to be manipulated along the way.
It seems, as ever, the greed of Man has been exposed to be far higher than Man's care for his fellows. It remains less a surprise than it is a shame. However, there are those that do question these narratives, and by allowing the general population access to lesser known facts, keep independent and critical thinking alive.

I brilliant in depth read of facts exposing the global elite who still to this day create events that are presented very differently to the masses.
Great work John Hamer, who I first heard on David Vance’s superb podcasts. I am looking forward to reading your other book A Falsification of History.
