The sinking of the RMS Titanic has fascinated historians for more than a century. But what if the disaster was more than a tragic accident? This episode explores one of the most controversial theories in modern history: that the Titanic was deliberately sunk to eliminate wealthy opponents of a central banking system before the creation of the Federal Reserve.
Why did J.P. Morgan cancel his trip at the last minute? Were John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, and Isidor Straus actually opposed to the Federal Reserve? What really happened at the secret meeting on Jekyll Island? And is there any evidence that connects these events?
We examine the historical record, separate documented facts from speculation, and let you decide. Sources include congressional records, contemporary newspapers, historical biographies, and research into the Panic of 1907, the Jekyll Island meeting, and the Federal Reserve Act.
What do you think? Accident…or something more?
