When a Preparedness Day parade was bombed by German military intelligence, for example, Wilson had for years before secretly been advised of this and related plots. Army General Leonard Wood and former President Theodore Rooseveltīasically, in the two years before the Zimmerman telegram exposed Wilson’s treachery, Americans had watched their President fraudulently blame “leftists” and “labor” for a growing “holocaust” of German attacks bombing cities, burning factories and sinking ships. 1915 film “ The Battle Cry of Peace” promoted by U.S. Roosevelt instead campaigned for a civilian Preparedness Movement to ready America for defense of freedom. Roosevelt objected since the start of WWI to America being passively in alignment with Germany, and objected even more in 1915 when “America First” became Wilson’s racist campaign for re-election (including a restart of the KKK).

You may notice the telegram says “via Galveston” (Texas) but more importantly it routed through England. The canonical example is when German foreign secretary Arthur Zimmermann sent the following encrypted text to Germany’s minister in Mexico on January 16, 1917. It also never really shook a reputation for being monitored and intercepted. Kinda curious if the last word someone paid to send was “stop”? The cost of operating and using it had gotten quite high. The era of the telegram came to an end in Germany with a final flourish of thousands of the once-popular message service, the country’s main postal service, Deutsche Post, said Wednesday.ĭeutsche Post said that 3,228 telegrams were dispatched on the final day of service on New Year’s Eve.
