Pearl Harbor, the USS Maine, the Gulf of Tonkin, 9-11.

All devastating tragedies where our enemies outwitted one of the strongest military defenses in the world.

And all flashpoints that justified an American declaration of war.

Each declaration was so quick, almost convenient.

People wondered if these attacks were planned.

False flag operations inside jobs.

Maybe our enemies didn't outwit us.

Maybe they had undercover help.

Because, contrary to what it may look like, your average American doesn't constantly thirst for war.

Take World War I. The US declared neutrality until a German U-boat torpedoed the Lusitania, killing over a thousand people and over a hundred American civilians, including babies and children.

But was the Lusitania sinking purely German aggression?

Or was it engineered to force the US to join the Allies and fight a global war?
