HMS Natal <\/a>was a Warrior-class armoured cruiser built for the Royal Navy in 1905. It was destroyed by an explosion while at anchor at Cromarty Firth.<\/em><\/p>\n

William Guy Carr’s account of an explosion that sank the H.M.S. Natal Dec. 30, 1915 has haunted me since reading it years ago. Some 400 sailors and 200 civilians died. The locals had been invited to a Christmas Party\u00a0as “a show of appreciation” for their hospitality. \u00a0The Naval Inquiry ruled the explosion was an accident but\u00a0many suspected sabotage or even an enemy U Boat. \u00a0It’s even possible this was a satanic human\u00a0sacrifice perpetrated by the Illuminati. This post\u00a0is for lives stolen by war throughout history.<\/p>\n

A grim story while humanity is again in crisis. But, it is a reminder of how precious life is, and how fleeting.<\/p>\n

Hell’s Angels of the Deep<\/em> (1932) \u00a0pp. 169-170<\/h2>\n

(excerpt by henrymakow.com)\u00a0\u2013 <\/strong>from Jan 13, 2016<\/h2>\n

But close upon the fun came tragedy. <\/strong>Christmas came, and as always happens we went to sea on patrol. When we returned, we celebrated.\u00a0The officers on board H.M.S. Natal …in order to show their appreciation to the citizens of Invergordon and Cromarty for the kindness and hospitality they had shown to the men of the Fleet, invited them on board with their families for afternoon tea, after which a moving picture was to be shown. The party was held yesterday, December 30.<\/p>\n

The guests were all aboard. The liberty men from the ship had been landed, when suddenly we heard the bugles sound and the bells ringing for “fire stations” aboard the Natal.<\/p>\n

All eyes turned to the ship. Sooner than it takes to relate the stern seemed to open right across. A flash of flame shot straight up into the sky. The Natal rolled over and sank before our eyes. All boats went to the rescue, but the only members of her crew who had a chance were those on the upper deck. The vast majority were imprisoned down below. \u00a0And in the half-deck were nearly a hundred women and children and some nurses from one of the hospital ships. They died where, a moment before, they had been laughing heartily at a comic moving picture.<\/strong><\/p>\n
