THE CONVENIENT SINKING OF THE USS MAINE

In January, 1898, with war propaganda now at fever pitch, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, on his own initiative, orders the armored cruiser USS Maine to
provocatively sail into Cuba’s Havana Harbor (controlled by Spain). In an
amazing “coincidence”, the ship just blows up, resulting in the deaths of 266
men. The warmongers of the New York Yellow Press, stirred up by Roosevelt’s
false accusation of Spain, finally have the ‘casus belli’ (cause for war) that has
eluded them. What good “fortune”, eh?

Without a trace of evidence, and in spite of strong Spanish denials, the
treacherous TR proclaims Spain as the guilty party. Pressure grows on a
reluctant President McKinley to ask Congress for a Declaration of War.
Knowing that Spain is innocent, McKinley resists.

The official position of the U.S. government today is that “coal dust
accumulation” caused the horrific, and unprecedented, explosion. But astute
students of history understand how such events are often engineered by the
clandestine services of the “victim” nation itself.

Speaking of “coal dust” and clandestine services, recall how during Civil War
days the secret service of the Confederacy developed a “coal torpedo” – a
hollowed-out device that resembled a lump of coal, but was actually packed with
explosives. Enemy agents sneak the weapons into a ship’s coal supply. When
shoveled into the ship’s firebox – the boiler goes BOOM! This nasty little
weapon caused great loss of life during the Civil War; and was probably the
means used by Secretary Roosevelt used to blow up the Maine.
