Was Titanic inquiry scuppered by the Freemasons?
The Telegraph ^ | 11/22/15 | John Bingham and Victoria Ward

The inquiry into the sinking of the Titanic may have been influenced by the Freemasons, new evidence suggests.

A secret archive containing the names of two million Freemasons have been made public for the first time which reveals extensive Masonic involvement in the controversial British investigation into the catastrophe.

It confirms that not only the judge who oversaw the British Wreck Commissioner’s inquiry into the disaster and leading investigators, but also even some of those who escaped censure were all Freemasons.

While a US Senate inquiry into the sinking savaged the White Star Line and singled out the British Board of Trade for blame for lax regulations which allowed the scandalously small number of lifeboats fitted on the ship, the UK investigation overseen by Lord Mersey avoided blaming the Board of Trade.

Lord Mersey himself - John Charles Bigham - was, the records show, a Freemason, initiated in 1881 at the Northern Bar Lodge in London.

Crucially, so too appears to have been the President of the Board of Trade Sydney Buxton, initiated at Limehouse in East London in 1888 where he was the local MP at the time.

OMG

The stupidity required to come up with asinine supposition.

Get high on LSD, toke a few puffs and then lay around all day believing your hallucinations....

This is November 22. It’s JFK conspiracy day. Titanic conspiracies are supposed to be scheduled for April.

Teacher: Use Timbuktu in a sentence.

Student: Me and Tim, a hiking we did went.

Found three girls in a great big tent.

Didn’t know just what to do.

So I bucked one, and Tim bucked two.

Clearly caused by calendar companies trying to sell more calendars.

Don’t know how true, but some of the wealthy on the Titanic were against the Federal Reserve.

Of far greater interest is the BBC production about the possibility that the Titanic was, in fact the previously seriously damaged Olympic (a switcheroo of the sister ships for the purposes of massive insurance fraud— planned) and provable by a number of slight design differences and other engineering discoveries on the wreck. The reason?: So the White Star line would not go completely under. Lloyds did a full payout for the loss and saved the company. The uncovering of the odd actions of the California’s captain, who had done insurance fraud before, and a whole lot of other tidbits. Additionally, of interest is that J.P. Morgan had taken ownerhsip of White Star and, decided the night before NOT to board Titanic. It’s a fascinating show— and creates more than reasonable doubt it was the actual Titanic that sank.

The bowplate name letters fallen off revealing the letters embossed underneath “M” and “P” as in... Olympic.

It’s the old tinfoil hatted conspiracy theory against Freemasonry.
Heck, even the French Revolution has been blamed on them and the Jews. :-(

True. People le also need to remember that bouncing a ship that size off of an iceberg at about 25 miles per hour is pretty much always a bad idea.
