How the Illuminati goaded America into World War One<\/h5>\n
The Illuminati happily sacrifice Christians to advance the cause of war and world government. 1200 passengers and crew, including 128 Americans, were drowned.<\/h5>\n

This year 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. America’s entanglement in that war, like so many others, was engineered through a false flag.<\/h5>\n
In 1915, Britain was at war with Germany, but the U.S. was still neutral. On May 7, the Lusitania<\/em>, a British ocean liner en route from America to England, was sunk by a U-boat. 128 Americans were among the dead. The 32,000-ton ship went down in just 18 minutes after a single torpedo hit. Survivors reported two explosions – a smaller one followed by an enormous one. The tragedy was publicly portrayed as wanton slaughter, and was the most important in a series of pretexts used to generate the eventual U.S. declaration of war.

Lusitania facts:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Germany’s U-boat campaign against British shipping was in retaliation for Britain’s naval blockade of Germany, which ultimately caused hundreds of thousands to die of starvation.<\/h5>\n
\u2022 U-boats initially observed “Cruiser Rules” established under international law: before sinking a merchant vessel, they would surface, and allow the ship’s crew to evacuate in lifeboats.<\/h5>\n
