The Greatest Shipwreck of all time continues to claim victims

The "Titanic" tragedy continues 111 years later. In 1912, the ship sank and 1517 people died; over-reactions to the initial tragedy claimed a further 848 lives in 1915; now in 2023, five more deaths on the tourist submarine "Titan" which was headed down to observe "Titanic". (Seriously, who thought giving the name "Titan" to a submarine designed to explore the "Titanic" would be a good idea after all the talk about how an 1898 novel called "The Wreck of the 'Titan' " seemed to eerily foreshadow "Titanic's" demise?) I do not believe in superstitions, but if there ever was a case to be made for a cursed ship, it would be the "Titanic", who has now claimed almost 900 more lives even after her own initial demise in 1912. Perhaps it is time to leave the old grave in peace. Here I share an old piece I wrote on how the "Titanic" has continued to claim victims even after its sinking and whose fault it has largely been. I hope it proves educational and enlightening for you all. https://keepgovlocal.com/forgotten-victims-of-titanic/

Tempers flare in the first Secession Speakeasy episode of 2026 where the Professor, the Minstrel, and the Jester discuss the shocking situation which the peoples of America now find themselves in.
