62. The Explosion Came from the inside.

just as the Spanish insisted. The Lusitania only took 1 torpedo to send it to the bottom in less than an hour, But it's sister ship the Moratania took several and still managed to sail over 100 miles and make it to London. The 4 Aircraft carriers in the Pacific in 1941 were forbidden to sail into Perl before the attack, and everything on Battleship row was at most 1 year to the scrap yard. The US has a History of Using False Flag operations to get us into the war of choice. Why do people forget this? I no longer have any confidence in the Government. TOO MANY LIES!
