The True Story of the Titanic

RMS Titanic 3.jpg
Titanic ... or Olympic?
Hey all! Today I'm gonna post about the inside secrets of the Titanic's sinking, to go along with my partners last post. Many people know the Titanic as the huge luxury mail ship that hit an iceberg in the Atlantic and sunk, right? Well, that's actually wrong. The Titanic never sunk.

You may be thinking I am insane, but it is the truth. It's a long story, so bear with me.

The Titanic had two twin sisters, the Olympic and the Gigantic. The Gigantic was turned to a hospital ship due to World War I, and sunk in the ocean. That leaves us only with the Titanic and the Olympic.

The three sisters
The Olympic came before the Titanic. It made similar trips, crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to America. The Olympic, on its first trip, got heavy damage on one of its sides. On the second, a noticeable scratch. The pattern continued, and the boat's insurance company decided that they could no longer insure the cursed boat. Because of this, the owners of the boat lost truckloads of money with each subsequent damage to the vessel.

The Titanic was going to be finished around this time, and that's when the idea came up: they would sink the Gigantic to end their troubles AND charge the insurance company. To do this, they removed the Titanic's nameplate and remodeled the Gigantic to become a lookalike of the Titanic. They deceived everyone, saying that this ship was the brand-new Titanic, and even the insurance company fell for it, and they decided they would be able to insure this new boat.
That fateful day...

On April 11, 1912, the Olympic, disguised as the Titanic, set out. The captain and other high-ranking officers were completely aware of their task, they were to hit an iceberg in the northern Atlantic Sea at specific coordinates, in such a way that it was certain that the boat would sink. The "accident" was so planed out they got confident. And so, they did not pack enough lifeboats for everyone.

On April 13 of the same year, disaster occurred. The "Titanic", or rather, the Olympic, hit an iceberg. But if this had already been planned out: how come everyone still died? The reason is simple. When the ship hit the iceberg, the Titanic was going to set free three sets of fireworks: red, blue, and white. This would be a signal to the M.S. California, which was nearby. However, when the moment of the incident came, the blue fireworks did not reach high enough to be visible by the California. Because of this, the California did not think they were the Titanic, and did not come aid them. The only other boat that was nearby was an illegal whale-hunting ship, and they did not assist the Olympic because they were afraid to be put in jail after the incident cleared up. The Carpathia showed up around two hours after the incident. For those who had not escaped in lifeboats, it was already too late. You know the rest of the story.

The Olympic's shipwreck
The company, White Star Line, charged the ship's insurance and got rid of the Olympic. The Titanic was disassembled to eliminate evidence of the scam, and never actually set sail. The captain, who survived, tried to organize a trial to tell his story three times, and all three times his requests were unheard.

Recent underwater photographs of the Olympic show that the plate that read "Titanic" has been partially eaten away by the sea, revealing a letter of another plate below "Titanic" the "m" from Olympic. Many other evidences have been found, such as the captain's testimonies, the measurements and placements of windows, and a scratch that perfectly matches one that was done to the Olympic.

And so, what seemed like a tragic accident turned out to be a planned scam, and even though the company did not intend those people to die, they still got away with it, they still killed more than a thousand people for their own greedy purposes. The truth has finally surfaced, about 100 years ago after that fateful day.

Weird Facts: Colors

We all know colors. They are the spice of life. They come in various tonalities and intensities, and they fill our everyday with their simple, charming grace. As you might already know, colors have the ability to cause different reactions in us, like happiness or sadness. So today I'm gonna talk about the weird effects color has on us. Every color has bipolar effects, and I'm gonna show you how they are used to influence you subliminally.

RED: Our friend red here has many strong effects, and it immediately grabs our attention. Red conveys  aggravation, strength, anger. It symbolizes danger and makes us alert and hungry. On the positive side it conveys love, passion, speed and other powerful effects. Red is by far the most intense color, and the one that most impacts us subliminally. Red has been proven to increase our heart and breathing rate. Red also promotes quicker decision-making processes (due to the brain being in alert-mode).

Examples: 
  • Red is used in fast food logos because it promotes hunger, and also shows speed. Red also incites quick decision-making and increases expectations, so it is also very much used at casinos.
  • Red ties are often used by political leaders when they want to show strength and conviction, and when they want to get their points across. 
  • Red increases the attraction of women (meaning men love women with red skirts)


BLUE: Our pal blue is smooth and relaxed. Blue conveys wisdom, trust, honesty, calm, and relaxation. Blue lets out calming hormones and whoever wears blue will seem like an ally, who is saying the truth and is a wise person. Blue on the other hand, can also convey sadness and depression if used in the correct situation.

Examples:

  • Blue dyes convey comfort and relaxation, making you feel good. This is why Twitter's, Facebook's, Intel's, Samsung's, and Hp's logos are blue.
  • Blue ties are often wore by political leaders when they want to show credibility, trustworthiness, "everything is allright", and "I'm your ally".
  • Men that wear blue are more attractive to women, because they show honesty and trustworthiness.





GREEN: Green symbolizes nature, protection, home. We used to live under the canopy of the trees so I supppose this makes sense.

Examples:

  • Green dyes, similarly to blue dyes, convey relaxation and peace. Green is often used to symbolize nature and organic things.
  • Babies that sleep in green-painted rooms are less prone to crying, since they feel more safe.


Other colorful facts:

  • Babies cry more often if they sleep on yellow rooms. Specialists believe that since we lived under the canopy of the trees, the sun would mean we were not protected by foliage, so babies would scream to alert. Remember this is your reptile brain and your subconscious working.

  • The least liked colors by both males and females are brown, orange, and purple, so try to avoid these colors (brown can work for certain clothing and details).



There's a lot to colors, and an obscene amount of subliminal messaging going on, so be careful on what you chose to wear today, because you might unknowingly be changing what people think about you.



Would you rather trust this woman?
Or this one?
