False Flags - The Maine Incident

True Crime Tuesday

Welcome back to TCT Seaon2...False Flags.

In our debut episode of Season 2 of True Crime Tuesday - False Flags, we unravel the mystery behind the USS Maine explosion of 1898, an event that ignited the Spanish-American War. Anchored in Havana Harbor, the Maine was rocked by a devastating explosion that claimed the lives of 266 American sailors. The United States quickly blamed Spain, sparking national outrage under the rallying cry, “Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!” But was Spain truly responsible, or was the explosion a tragic accident used as a false flag to justify war?

Join us as we explore the key events leading up to the explosion, the investigation’s conflicting findings, and the role of yellow journalism in swaying public opinion. From political maneuvering to the long-term consequences for U.S. foreign policy, this deep dive uncovers the complex web of intrigue behind one of history’s most debated incidents.

Listen now to discover the truth behind the Maine Incident and its legacy as a case study in media influence, war propaganda, and false flag operations.
