There is much talk on the net about a possible false flag operation about to be undertaken by the Creature to create havoc in the world. I thought to address the topic with this, the first of essays on the subject.
I term this incident a false flag because unknown to her passengers (and doubtful a secret to the Germans), almost all the hidden cargo of the Lusitania consisted of munitions and contraband destined for the British war effort, departing from New York for its return journey back to Britain . Also because the German Embassy had given this warning:
Travellers intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists between Germany and her allies and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the British Isles; that, in accordance with formal notice given by the Imperial German Government, vessels flying the flag of Great Britain, or any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travellers sailing in the war zone on the ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk.

The transits of May 7, 1915 to the USA horoscope:
Transiting Jupiter is contraparallel natal Neptune , placing a focus on Neptunian influences.
Transiting Neptune in the 8th house of death opposes natal Pluto and inconjuncts natal Moon.
Transiting Mercury is trine natal Neptune .
NOTE: There is a square in the USA natal chart between Mars, planet of aggression/war and Neptune , planet ruling boundary issues. Neptune sabotages through ambivalence. The Mars/Neptune square has become the signature for war in the chart of the United States . When one of those planets is activated by transit or progression, it automatically taps into the other planet in the square, setting off a highly negative reaction for the country.
The 10th house denotes the destination. It has Taurus on the cusp and is co-ruled by a debilitated Venus in Aries and by Sun and Mercury in Taurus, both of whom are hovering from the 9th house as the vessel departed, both of whom were in the 10th house at the time of attack.
Pluto, planet of violence, is square Venus. Uranus, planet ruling torpedoes, is square both Sun and Mercury. There was no saving grace, the ship was doomed from the moment it left port...two hours behind schedule.
