And if it worked, they might have repeated it.

Because in 1940, as the U.S.

contemplated once again joining the British to fight Germany in a world war, President Franklin Roosevelt made a request.

According to journalist Colin Simpson, Roosevelt pulled the notes from President Wilson that were locked in the U.S.

Treasury.

Maybe he took the manifest as Wilson's suggestion that false flags are needed.

Maybe other presidents did too.

JFK with Operation Northwoods, Johnson with the Gulf of Tonkin, Bush with 9-11.

Perhaps the Lusitania wasn't a one-off operation, but a hundred year pattern of conspiracies to push the US into war.

Or maybe, maybe, Wilson saved it as proof of the hard decisions governments have to make.

When questions flew about the second torpedo's existence, all the British government could do was shrug their shoulders.

If they reveal the truth to the public, they'd lose their wartime advantage.

Their hands were tied.

And maybe their hands were tied the entire time.

Yes, they knew the Lusitania was in danger, but acting on that information could reveal just how much they knew.

Saving the Lusitania would destroy their biggest tactical advantage.

It came down to an impossible question.

Save the Lusitania, but prolong the war?

or sink the Lusitania and save more lives by ending it sooner.
