So like there were some rich guys, but J.P.

Morgan's not amongst them.

And so the argument is that because these rich guys were against the founding of the Fed and J.P.

Morgan was in favor of it, of course, you know, a central banking system allows a small board of governors to set monetary policy.

It's a frequent target of conspiracy minded people.

And so the idea is that this was the most expensive murder in history and most elaborate.

I feel like that's cheaper.

That is a much better way of killing people.

And there's there's other issues with it, too.

Like, for example, there's no historical evidence that any of the millionaires who drowned in the ocean that day had ever publicly criticized the idea of the Federal Reserve.

Yeah, and Strauss had actually been in favor of it.

So automatically, one of the key premises here just doesn't make any kind of sense.

Also, this theory doesn't explain how Morgan would have caused the Titanic to sink.

I mean, he owned the White Star Line.

I guess the idea is he ordered the captain to crash into an iceberg.

But of course, famously, the captain went down with the ship into the icy waters.

Why in the world would he agree to that plan?

Well, he probably wouldn't, is why.

Yeah, and if instead of that, he just ordered the captain to speed heedlessly and hope that something went wrong, that's a really haphazard way to try to kill people.

I think in part it's just the embarrassment of showing up later and being the captain and having a bunch of other people having drowned and then you're dry.
