What is the “truth” about the “Titanic” (if that was its real name)?

For more “truth” if you can “handle ‘it'” see the official website for the Titanic Truth Movement.

    I like the psuedo-In Search Of… music underneath it.

    What’s funny about this is that so many conspiracy wackos use similar inane comparisons to “prove” their theories. This isn’t that far from the truth…a different kind of truth.

      My absolute favorites are the guys who are sure the gummint faked the Moon landings. (I would have expected a fake landing on Mars by now if NASA was just making stuff up.)

        Yeah, but we’ll always have Capricorn One.

        The one argument that always nails those silly “moonfakers” (sorry for the Bondian pun), the one argument they can’t refute (they can merely ignore it, I guess…

        If the signals supposedly coming from the Moon were actually originating on Earth from the USA, the USSR would have nailed our asses with the info immediately. ‘Cuz they sure as hell were listening in and tracking the telemetry.

          Moonfakers, moonrakers

          To use “moonfakers” as an insult is interesting, because the original “moonrakers” were villagers known for their folly, who, the story says, tried to rake the moon out of a pond in which they could see its reflection. Another version of the story, however, claims that they were no more stupid than foxes, that what they were trying to rake out was smuggled goods, and that the “moon-raking” performance was for the benefit of government agents.

            Re: Moonfakers, moonrakers

            And the ancient witches of Thessaly were supposed to be able to draw down the moon. Moontakers? Lunar Miners who took advantage of seismic events might be called moonquakers (also the Luna City branch of the Society of Friends, of course). There might be a story in here somewhere…
