I was a Titanic “buff” as a kid, so a lot of this stuff stuck. In all my research, I never found a single original document suggesting that Astor, ✡Guggenheim,✡ or ✡Strauss✡ were *ever* against the idea of a central bank, either. That gets reposted a lot.

Not saying I don't believe you, but why sink the ship then? I pretty much refuse to believe that it was simply an "accident", because such an "accident" has literally never happened before or since IIRC.

Perhaps not that they were against the central bank, but maybe jews taking out other jews like drug carrles take out other drug cartels for control and power grab
Oh yes, jews are quite quarrelsome amongst themselves. Zionist jews versus the communist/bolshevik/degenerate nonzionist jews, hasidic/orthodox versus the secular hedonists, etc. The zionist jews in particular are known for their aggressive tactics in trying to browbeat the nonzionist jews into submission.
There have been plenty of seafaring accidents caused by criminal negligence before and since. The Andrea Dorea comes to mind right away. Costa Concordia… the Suez Canal fiasco…
The Gilded Age was an era of hubris. The Titanic is notable because it was the maiden voyage, due to the press surrounding it, and due to the prevailing wisdom having finally failed. The lifeboat situation had been around for decades prior, and the “you don’t need lifeboats for everyone all at once because you can just ferry people to another ship in stages” theory had been [tried and tested.](https://www.rmsrepublic.news/)
Ships were getting larger and faster, and the liner companies were competing on size, tonnage, and speed. Bruce Ismay urged the crew to continue full speed through the night, despite standard practice being too slow when visibility was low (it was a moonless night). The men felt they couldn’t go against the owner of the company, despite [the obvious danger](https://www.historyhit.com/titanic-disaster-thermal-inversion/). But hey, “watertight bulkheads.” The idea was that the ship would merely be disabled in a collision, preventing further motion but not sinking and therefore giving time to ferry passengers off.
It was a series of “invincible beliefs” colliding all at once, and, like a white woman hitchhiking across the Muslim world, it all came crashing down on the first try.
Yes i have heard this argument my self alot. But no one has ever shown any physical evidence on the matter. I did go threw my Titanic phase as well as kid by you clearly went alot further then i did.
