A FRAUD THAT LED TO WAR
On this day in 1898, the USS Maine blew up in Havana harbor.
No one reading this is old enough to remember the “Remember the Maine” campaign.
It started with a spectacular explosion in Havana harbor and the sinking of the USS Maine.
It was blamed on “bad guys” who the US conveniently already had detailed plans of attacking.
The real story only came out 90 years later and it probably wasn’t in your school history book.
The parallels with 9/11 are chilling.
