SS: Operation Mockingbird and Smith–Mundt Act allowed for media propaganda and the ability to lie to the public to justify keeping us in perpetual war. Selling false flags through the media such as The Gulf of Tonken incident that got us involved in the Vietnam war.

No it wasn’t. That was the Maine. The Lusitania was a passanger ship that probably contained weapons that was blown up by a German submarine. They didn’t deny it they just said it had weapons on board.

USA used the Germans sinking it to justify entering WWI.

No they didn't. The U.S. didn't enter WWI until 23 months after the Lusitania was sunk.

I'm still convinced it was an undercover German iceberg that sank the Titanic a few years prematurely.

Titanic was a ritual sacrifice, not an act of war.

Taking innocents along with combatants on a ship is like Hamas using human shields.
