Fun Fact. W.T Stead an English Investigative Journalist, and really one of the leading fathers of that segment of Journalism. Was one of the first to begin exploring the dark side of the Sex Trade in a series of Newspaper Articles penned in 1885 dubbed “The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon”.
Anywho he was one of the Passengers onboard the Titanic. He would not survive the sinking.
He probably got a "special invitation" from JP Morgan himself /s. You just CAN'T disrupt the most profitable part of banking (slavery). By the way, lots of orphans likely created with Titanic event.
By the way, lots of orphans likely created with Titanic event.
There actually were no orphans created as a result of the sinking. In large part due to the actions of Titanic's Male passengers and Crew. Most of whom would not survive the sinking. Many of the crew dying at their stations. Launching Lifeboats, Working Pumps and doing what they could to buy Titanic even a single minute. Alongside Male Passengers. Only 20% of the men onboard would survive. Many of them being passengers.
All living Children pulled from the wreck would have at least 1 living parent. Most often the Mother. The only Children from the wreck initially considered ‘Orphans’ actually weren’t. Their father kidnapped them from the Mother. Following the sinking they’d be reunited with their Mother. Their fathers last act being securing them a place in a lifeboat.
He probably got a "special invitation" from JP Morgan himself
And W.T Stead booked the passage himself having been invited to speak at a Peace Conference at Carnegie Hall by William Howard Taft. In regards to the degrading Political situation in Europe. He reportedly handed over his life jacket to another passenger and assisted in launching the boats. He was last spotted alive clinging to debris with John Jacob Astor. Neither man would survive. And W.T Stead’s body would not be recovered.
Good info. Smart, God-fearing crew following pro-human protocols, even in face of death. Most impressive, high-quality humans there sacrificed by very evil people.
JP Morgan part of comment was sarcastic, but that is interesting "spotted with JJA". Poor guys surely froze to death unnecessarily with other ships nearby may have saved many with proper notification immediately after collision. Sad.
Titanic started blasting distress signals at 12:15am. She collided about 11:40pm.
Several Dozen ships heard them and put about driving full speed for Titanic. They however were anywhere from dozens up to 150 miles away. And were mostly older and far slower vessels. Cargo Haulers, Tankers, a handful of aging passenger Steamers. Even if they’d started transmitting exactly the moment they hit. It’s not likely to have changed much. Only vessels nearby, relatively speaking, were older and far slower.
And the nearby ship that could have feasibly responded in time to save the Passengers was SS Californian. The Californian didnt have the crew complement to keep a full watch at night. Was on the other side of the Icefield they had somewhat ironically warned Titanic about earlier that night. And their wireless operator was asleep. Leaving them unaware of the extent of what was going on.
Though several repeated investigations by both the Royal Navy, U.S Navy, and Merchant Mariners Association of the events of the night. Resulted in the Californians Officers and Captain being labeled as incompetent. But stopped short of recommending Criminal Charges. As there was other factors at play and that it likely would have been a miracle for the Californian to have reached the Titanic in time to avert the loss of life. Even if they knew the full extent of the tragedy unfolding. Reportedly the Californians Captain was haunted by that night until the day he died.
Carpathia the first and closest vessel to actually reach the survivors was reportedly pulling close to 17 knots. Her maximum speed was supposed to be 14. The Captain allegedly ordered excess weight tossed overboard, deck furniture to be broken up to feed the furnace and stretch out their coal, and pushed Carpathias boilers till they were in danger of exploding.
And Carpathia was far from the only one to push its engines to the breaking point. Several ships that responded needed repairs as their Captains pushed their ships to the breaking point trying to reach Titanic. One German Steamer S.S Frankfurt was 120 miles away and raced through the night and into the afternoon of the next day trying to reach Titanic believing themselves the closest to respond. But a ship like the Frankfurt maximum speed was 13 knots. Which translates to about 15 mph. Carpathia was only marginally faster than Frankfurt at 14 knots. And 17 knots they reportedly reached that night was about 19mph.
The night was a tragedy in more ways than one. No shortage of people raced to help. But they were too far away and limited by their tools to avert the Tragedy.
Uhhh, Stead was and integral part of Cecil Rhodes "inner circle" "Round Table" group. Stead was responsible for massive amounts of global propaganda, at a scale that can hardly be imagined.
Maybe he was honest about and had a soft spot for child trafficking as you suggest. But he was one of the most important players in deceiving the masses on most other subjects his whole life.
You can learn all about him in Carrol Quigley's "The Anglo-American Establishment" which lays out, in excruciating detail, all the players, at least on the surface, that rule the world. Stead, along with Rhodes, Lord Alfred Milner and the Rothschild conglomerate were the "inner circle", the puppet masters pulling the strings of politicians, journalists, celebrities, media, and academic curriculum around the Western world.
Two people who underwent the "Round Table's" full initiation and grooming you would recognize in modern times would be Bill Clinton and Rachel Maddow, both recipients of the "Rhodes scholarship", initiated by Cecil Rhodes to groom and prepare American influencers within the cabal's worldwide agenda to generate VICTIM CONSCIOUSNESS. An agenda which this secretive "Round Table" group, by way of Stead's suggestion, that they named THE LIBERAL AGENDA. Which of course, you can plainly see operating in all aspects of modern day life.
This was the magic of Stead's propaganda, that he could twist their agenda and use of the word "liberal", which literally means "live and let live" effectively, and instead twist it into what we now see today in "identity politics", "wokeism", "gender ideology", etc. which are often also labeled today as "Cultural Marxism" by the Fabian Society and Frankfurt School's propaganda within "intellectual circies".
That's just a single example of Stead's influence still operating in today's day and age. ironically, I do believe that Stead truly believed he was "doing the right thing" by propagandizing the masses as he did. He really felt the wealthiest people amongst the populace "were right" and whatever their aims and goals were, would ultimately benefit the masses. Just as he sold it to the masses through his outsized media influence.
Why he went down on the Titanic we would have to speculate upon. Maybe he knew too much and was going to blab. Maybe he was beginning to realize all his efforts to sell the "liberal agenda", which certainly would have sounded good at the time, weren't producing the results he was expecting. I can't say.
What I can say for sure however, is that Stead was basically the AP, Reuters, BBC, CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC(NOW), NYT, WSJ, LT, WAPO of his era. He and his journaistic cohorts were the powerhouse that drove the Western media at large at the turn of the twentieth century.
So take all that FWIW. Like I said, maybe he was an honest broker when it came to child trafficking. If so, we can agree he gets a checkmark in the positive column for that! Perhaps he saw a lot of it going on around the high-level operatives (Non-elites) that he mingled with and, as almost any of us would have, felt the need to call it out, as most sane people would have done. And this is what ultimately got him "sunk" on the Titanic.
At least that makes sense. He has a change of heart, but it was too little, too late thanks to mixing with these people. We could only speculate. However, everybody knew Cecil Rhodes raped young boys, age 9-13 was is preference if I recall correctly. Stead would have surely known this before he joined his "Round Table" group. Perhaps the power, control and money outweighed his disdain for Rhode's proclivities in the beginning but later came back to haunt him....
This is such a great post u/ThomasMaker ; And a great reminder that both the "Hollywood Operation" AND the "Epstein Operation" were using the template outlined in this book that goes back several hundred years at least, but then amplified by cultural "entertainment" and technology, even in 1910.
I read a lot of old pulp fiction. Vintage stuff from 1920s-30s. So called “white slavery” is a common theme. Opium dens were fashionable among the tony set going slumming. Many young ladies were fast tracked into “mattress backs”. That time period saw a massive rise in criminality. Not just illicit alcohol, but gambling and prostitution as well with the attendant extortion and murder as a result. Prohibition created the mafia and corrupted public officials at every level. Thanks to women getting the vote! Read Dashiell Hammet and Raymond Chandler, even Earle Stanley Gardner. It’ll open your eyes.
This is the kind of thing AI is actually good for-
"Here are the best-known books by Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Erle Stanley Gardner, based on their popularity and influence in the hard-boiled detective and mystery genres:
Dashiell Hammett:
The Maltese Falcon (1930): Iconic for introducing Sam Spade, a tough private detective, and a complex plot involving a valuable statue. It’s a cornerstone of noir fiction, celebrated for its sharp dialogue and gritty realism.
The Thin Man (1934): Features Nick and Nora Charles, a witty detective couple, blending mystery with humor. Known for its sophisticated banter and influence on the "screwball mystery" subgenre.
Raymond Chandler:
The Big Sleep (1939): Introduces Philip Marlowe, Chandler’s quintessential private eye, in a tangled tale of blackmail and murder. Famous for its atmospheric prose and complex plotting.
Farewell, My Lovely (1940): Another Marlowe novel, noted for its vivid Los Angeles setting and lyrical writing, involving a search for a missing woman and a web of crime.
Erle Stanley Gardner:
The Case of the Velvet Claws (1933): The first Perry Mason novel, featuring the defense attorney solving a murder case with his keen legal mind and investigative skills. It set the stage for the long-running series.
The Case of the Sulky Girl (1933): Another early Perry Mason novel, popular for its courtroom drama and Mason’s clever unraveling of a inheritance-related mystery.
“The Continental Op” by Dashiell Hammet
“The Long Goodbye” by Raymond Chandler
“Ladies in the Parlor” by Jim Tully
“The Case of the Vagabond Virgin” by Earle Stanley Gardener
All those guys have written lots of other books. If you start reading them you may find you can’t stop.
I’ll mention two other writers who are more recent but really catch the spirit of the age.
Elmore Leonard and John D McDonald.
Russians (jewish moscovites?) sold tens of thousands of Finnish peasants to the ottomans for slavery. And during that time there wasnt much more than some hundred thousand of us.
The 1910 book titled "Fighting the Traffic in Young Girls; Or, War on the White Slave Trade" was written and edited by Ernest A. (Ernest Albert) Bell.
Key aspects
Exposing the "white slave trade": The book aimed to shed light on the issue of human trafficking, specifically targeting the exploitation of young women and girls for prostitution, a practice commonly referred to at the time as the "white slave trade".
Call for action and social reform: It was a polemic and impassioned work designed to raise public awareness and mobilize action against this practice.
Contributors from different spheres: The book featured contributions from various authors, including social reformers, journalists, and activists, underscoring the collaborative nature of the fight against trafficking.
Advocating for the Mann Act: The authors and individuals involved in the creation of this book were influential in advocating for and ultimately securing the passage of the Mann Act (federal law against taking women across state lines for immoral purposes).
Historical and social context: The book offers valuable insights into the historical context of social reform movements and efforts to combat the burgeoning industry of prostitution during the early 20th century.
This book served as a crucial document reflecting the intersection of social values, emerging feminism, and progressive efforts to combat exploitation during the Progressive Era. It is considered a significant resource for understanding the historical landscape of social science, criminology, and the ongoing struggle for human rights.
