Who cares what TV show it was on? It's been posted on the internet. That's all you need to know. It must be true.:roll:
I do wonder, tho', where the hell Hitler's been hiding that big-ass boat all these years. It's not like you could just throw a tarp over it or something. Maybe he's been using the secret knowledge gained from the Philedelphia Experiment to hide it in plain site. |

Well, it's true the Titanic's Sister ship, the Olympia, did go to it's aid but it's highly doubtful they would have swapped the names over and then slaughtered the passengers on the Titanic for an insurance claim.
1. In other words there would have been a discrepancy between the passenger list for the Titanic and the Olympia. If it was the Olympia that really went down then the dead would have been Olympia passengers and not Titanic passengers.
2. The passengers would've been unlikely to board the wrong ship becasue it's usually blazoned in big letters on the hull.
3. This was it's maiden voyage, if they changed the name of the Olympia to the Titanic before the passengers got on, then it was still effectively the Titanic that went down.
4. The Olympia and the Titanic were pretty much identical, what would it matter to them which one sank?
5. The damage done to the companies reputation for an unsinkable ship sinking would probably cost them more than any insurance claim could muster.
6. Would the Captain be willing to die to make the company money? He went down with the ship as did many of the crew!
7. You don't destroy a new ship just because of a small hole, it would've been repaired. Again if it was for the insurance, why bother to swap the names?
8. What about the survivors? If you're going to callously slaughter half a shipload of passengers in some insurance scam, you don't leave others alive that might report the truth of what happened. |

Sure, Hitler the young athelic 116 year old man on the deck of the Titanic, crewed by the Angels of Mons. Once a fortnight he pays a quick trip to his favorite bar in Atlantis using the R101 so he doesn't have to pull his pleasure yacht into territorial waters where it might be seen.
Sound reasonable to me. |

I thought Hitler was living on Atlantis with his alien minions.
Obviously, it's emitting enough magnetic radiation that no modern instruments can find it. I KNOW it's true, because Hitler talks to me in my dreams.

The Titanic hoax theory centres around the fact that it's sister ship (the Olympic I think), was involved in a serious collision with a Royal Navy boat on its maiden voyage. A very biased naval panel attributed all blame to the Olympic's captain, therefore the ship's owners were unable to claim insurance for the accident.
The theory goes that the owners swapped the badly-damaged Olympic with the almost-finished Titanic in the shipyard during repairs, then scuttled it at sea and claimed the Titanic's insurance.
While the theory has numerous weaknesses, it doesn't actually deny that a ship went down with over one thousand people still on board.
I think the Olympic (ne Titanic)was used as a troop ship during WWI and had a pretty distinguished history of running into other ships until it was scrapped in the '30s, so it's unlikely Hitler ever set foot on it. |

Let's set this straight- The sinking of the Titanic was a hoax itself, some rich guy bought the whole ship and had it dry docked as a souvenir. I should know, it's sitting in my backyard which wasn't a good idea because now the dog gave it his "blessings".
Now, seriously, anyone ever hear of colour footage of the actual ship? |

I know for a FACT that it sank. I seen it happen in this MOVIE!!!! The one where that DeCaprio guy was killed in. I think he froze to death or something. But I did see that ship sink!!!! I think it was a few years ago. I guess someone took a video camera on board. Must have been a perve though. He even videotaped them doing something "Naughty" in the back of this rich guys car. Also had them in everyones room as well. |

What I can't understand about this crazy theory is that it doesn't explain the very large wreck found on the ocean floor with the name "Titanic" clearly visible through the rust. If that ain't the Titanic, what the hell is it? |

Actually folks, the whole Titanic story is a hoax. It is no more true than Orson Welles in 1938 telling the story of the "War of the Worlds" (H.G. Wells - 1898) attack unfolding on his radio show.
The Titanic story was originally called "Futility; The Wreck of the Titan" 1898. (see link)
A similar story unfolded years later with the Apollo program (e.g. Apollo 13)...for the original story see Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon"...1866!
The real question is why do these stories work as they are intended to by the folks who portray them as real in modern times?
What goes in in real life when these stories are being played out might give one who is truly interested a clue or two.

My theory is this
1 The Earth was caught in a gravitational warp that caused it to move sideways
2 The Titanic was caught in an inverse gravitational warp that caused it to stay still
The effect being that the Titanic witnessed the ocean "going up" while the Earth moved and it stayed still

*IIRC* I do remember hearing about what "Doc" is talking about. Basically it was a novel that came out some years prior to the sinking of the Titanic, that had some amazing cooincidences in the name of the ship (the Titan) and in some of the details of the of the ship such as measurements etc, and of the sinking of it.
While I certainly think it is interesting that this novel came out with the commanalities with what really happened, I do not think the Titanic sinking was a hoax.
BTW, if anyone comes across the book that Doc is referring to, let me know. I have a friend who is looking for a copy of it. 😊 |

Of course Australian beer is superior to anything made overseas. How else would I come up with such a unique theory that is worthy of the Museum of Hoaxes. The Intellectual use of mis-aligned paradigms in the formulation of my gravitational warping theory in regards to the Titanic is only eclipsed in the Australian national drink's prowess in allowing ugly people to have sex.

Personally, I believe that both the British and American governments deliberately used a heat seeking Iceberg to penetrate a side of the Titanic, causing it to sink. |

The sister ship of the titanic was swapped with the titanic because of a crash with a navy ship and the insurance would not pay out so they made changes to the sister ship to make it look like the Titanic and it sank they got the insurance and the real titanic saled for years before it was scrapped. the end! |

NOPE. It's really quite simple, the titanic never existed. Nothing is real. We are not really here. You know that computer game you play, maybe you play the sims, perhaps we are those people? Maybe we, in actual fact, are those computer games. We are really being controlled by something greater than ourselves. Someone made me write this, and is making you read it. All these being want to do is use us for amusement. Our death; irrelevant. Our life; non-existant. |

I have a picture of the Olympic taken during world war one and it is indeed Olympic if you look at a picture of the Olympic and Titanic you can tell the difference between them by looking at the forward promenade deck on the Olympic it is wide open on the Titanic it is enclosed to shield passenger's from spray from the bow. Therefore Titanic sank and Olympic was scrapped in the thirtie's.
If you don't agree Look at picture's of the two ships |
