The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the John Burch Society pounded the Drum ( in The Spotlight and various JBS & Kluxer newsletters and publications ...) for Israel ( joooos ) to be Investigated and pay a price and be openly vilified by Congress and the Public starting around 1978 .

After two hours of attack on a perfectly clear day with two huge American flag flying on the ship they even machine-gunned the life boats.
About time to counter the Navy white wash reports that it was an accident. When Israel hits Red Cross convoys like it just did in Gaza it always knows exactly what it is doing. Every USS Liberty survivor says it was 100% deliberate, as did Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Thomas Moorer Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Director of CIA Richard Helms
Admiral Thomas Moorer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
"I have never believed that the attack on the USS Liberty was a case of mistaken identity. That is ridiculous. I have flown over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, thousands of hours, searching for ships and identifying all types of ships at sea."
Thomas Moorer Letter of June 8, 1997

USS Liberty Veterans Testify in the “Live Free or Die” State
Special Report
By Delinda C. Hanley
“LIVE FREE OR DIE” is the official motto of the State of New Hampshire. That motto was brought up repeatedly on Jan. 12, 2024, during the dramatic testimony of USS Liberty survivors in support of the State of New Hampshire’s House Bill 1041, which calls for the establishment of a commission to investigate the Israeli's shelling of the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967 and its aftermath.
Sponsored by Republican Representatives Jason Gerhard and Michael Granger, this legislation would help the survivors and families of the 34 killed shipmates to get meaningful answers to their many questions about this attack. Of the original crew of 294 officers and civilians, 34 men were killed and another 174 wounded in action that day.
“These sailors have sacrificed so much, some of them even lost their lives in this attack. I feel that the least we can do is finally give them some closure with an investigation that is satisfactory,” Gerhard told the New Hampshire’s State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee."“LIVE FREE OR DIE” is the official motto of the State of New Hampshire. That motto was brought up repeatedly on Jan. 12, 2024, during the dramatic testimony of USS Liberty survivors in support of the State of New Hampshire’s House Bill 1041, which calls for the establishment of a commission to investigate...
Commander David Edwin Lewis, who was born, raised and died free on Oct. 16, 2021, in Colebrook, NH, was a senior cryptologist who earned a Purple Heart onboard the Liberty. Gerhard read from his obituary: “For the rest of his life, Eddie bore the scars of that day, and he was deeply involved with the group of survivors, proving that the state of Israel and the Johnson administration deliberately staged the attack to try and draw the U.S. into the Israeli-Egyptian Six-Day War in 1967.”
Larry Bowen, who also received the Purple Heart for his service on the Liberty, told the committee: “I’ve never had the opportunity to tell the American public what happened. Our government failed to come to our rescue. Our government put a gag order on us to not speak about this and threatened us with imprisonment and fines if we did. Our government failed to do a thorough investigation of the attack. The Navy held a formal court of inquiry and took testimony from several of my shipmates but then were given guidance to modify the testimony that they received so that it would comply with the mistaken identity claim Israel made when it apologized for the attack.
“We’ve waited 56 and a half years for the opportunity to speak before a government body…I believe this bill will put in motion the commission that will do what Congress should have done over 56 years ago. There are still many questions to be answered related to the attack and its aftermath. Please support this effort to help get closure for the crew and the families of my fellow shipmates. God bless you and help you to make the right decision.”
When asked what a commission could accomplish so many years after the incident, Bowen explained that the National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency are holding onto classified information they won’t release. Their ship was overflown half a dozen times by Israeli aircraft doing reconnaissance, Bowen recalled, but “we felt safe because they were allies who had our backs.”
The attackers used unmarked planes to strafe and drop napalm so the crew didn’t know who was attacking them until the torpedo ships with the Star of David emblem came to finish them off. “There were voice intercepts between the Israeli pilots and their ground controllers who did identify us as an American ship,” Bowen said. The crew believes Israel hoped Egypt would be blamed for sinking their ship. A lot of facts have come together in the years since the attack that have never been put together, Bowen concluded.
Bryce Lockwood, then a gunnery sergeant, now a retired Baptist minister, passed around photos taken the morning after the attack by crew from the USS America; in one of them, he was only 10 feet away from the torpedo hole. “Every protocol designed to protect against accidents was broken,” Lockwood said. “They used unmarked aircraft. They jammed our distress frequency. They machine-gunned our life rafts. We were not in a combat zone, we were in international waters, 13 and a half miles off the Sinai Peninsula.
“There has been no investigation by Congress, as required by Article 1, Section 8, Clause 10 of the U.S. Constitution to investigate acts of piracy on the high seas. When the USS Cole was attacked and 17 Americans were killed, there was a 9-month investigation.” Twice as many were killed on the Liberty and that flawed investigation was concluded in five days, Lockwood said. President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara ordered Admiral Isaac Kidd and Ward Boston, who took testimony from shaken survivors right after the attack, to report that the attack on the ship was a case of mistaken identity."
US Naval Institute:
"The 8th of June this year will mark the 50th anniversary of the attack on the USS Liberty (AGTR-5), a spy ship the Israelis repeatedly strafed, napalmed, and torpedoed during a ferocious hour-long assault that The Washington Post later described as “one of the most bloody and bizarre peacetime encounters in U.S. naval history.”1
In the five decades since that tragic afternoon on which 34 Americans were killed and another 171 wounded, the Liberty has become an albatross."
The long-standing pleas of surviving crew members—convinced Israel intentionally targeted the ship—for a congressional investigation have fallen on deaf ears. Lawmakers never have—nor likely ever will—pick up a cause that even a half-century later remains so politically fraught that midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy were barred from even asking questions about it during a 2012 visit by the Israeli ambassador.2
FACTS
- perfectly clear day, Liberty had two huge American flags flying unfurled you could see for miles.
- Israeli recon planes flew over it all morning, pilots and sailors even waved at each other
- Israel attacked for 2 hours with rockets, cannon, napalm and then even a torpedo boat
- One Israeli pilot refused orders, and was arrested on landing
- The plan was to sink the ship with all witnesses and blame it on Egypt, which Israel was at war with. This would have dragged US directly into the war
The only reason the ship did not sink was the incredible heroism of the American sailors, fighting fires and ship damages while wounded and tending to worse wounded, tying up veins and applying torniquets while handling fire extinguishers. The decks were slippey with blood.

History rhymes at the very least.
I turned 20 in the summer of '67, and never read or heard a word about the attack on Liberty.
A similar false flag could happen today involving the Jewish state and dead Americans.
If (when) that happens, Americans need to know what happened on 8 June 1967 before all eyewitnesses die of old age.

The spirit of Moloch which animated the perpetrators against the Liberty lives on in the many Zionists like Netanyahu and Trump.57 years ago? Hell, most involved on the decision end of things are dead.
Who gives a shit but Hamas supporters in some lame effort to make Israel look bad?

I think Bibi needs to come here and throw a big Jewbilee in Congress and get them to watch the old Bible movies again, maybe cut loose some funds. Also remind them of how much dirt he has on them, that will help.
As with the Kennediy assassination investigation, nothing will come out of it. There's no will to see an investigation through to finding answers.
Who even gives a shit about pressing Trump to revealing the facts on Kennedy? Who gives a shit about America being to blame for starting the war against Russia?
Nothing to see here folks, move along now.

Liberty survivors are courageous Sailors but they have no idea of the political strategy (or incompetence) that put them in harms way. The CIA didn't learn a thing. A year later another US spy ship (The Pueblo) was captured and it's still being held by NK

I'm pretty sure a few of the spies onboard the Liberty were CIA guys. It was a spy ship you know.
The corruption in the Liberty event started at the highest levels. LBJ, Sec Def MacNamara, Admiral McCain. All the surviving members are well aware of that. A US carrier in the Mediterranean sent some Phantoms to defend the Liberty, but the White House turned them back. LBJ didn't want to offend his Israeli buddies.

That's exactly what us going on here. Who do you think wants these little secrets exposed? The state? No, the dirt loses all it's value if the public sees it. The blackmail victims? No, then you might not re elect them. It's a closed loop. Honey Traps and Kompromat --- a Closer Look at the Life of Ghislaine Maxwell and Her Father, Robert Maxwell

1. President John F Kennedy intensely pressured Israeli Prime Ministers David Ben Gurion and then Levi Eshkol to allow inspections of Israel's nuclear facilities. // 2. The Zionist Mafia then murdered JFK in 1963. // 3. LBJ -- above, all chummy with Eshkol -- replaced JFK and allowed the Israelis to do as they pleased from 1964-1968 (including the murder of Robert F Kennedy in 1968)..
Not content with the territory that it had already stolen back in 1947, Israel, ever playing the role of victim, initiated what became known as The Six Day War on June 5, 1967. The one-sided fight pitted US-armed Israel against the Arab states of Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt. One day after initiating the conflict -- hoping to bring the US into the war so that the Arab states could be annihilated in one fell swoop -- Israeli jets and torpedo boats deliberately attacked the USS Liberty. The helpless communications ship was on patrol in the Mediterranean Sea, near Egypt's Sinai Peninsula..The sustained daytime attack, which took place as the US flag flew visibly, killed 34 Americans, wounded 170, and badly damaged the vessel. Many of the dead and wounded lost their lives due to fighter jets firing upon their life boats. The Israelis finally called off the slaughter when they thought that help may have been on the way (a Russian vessel was also in the area). Our noble allies then claimed that the assault on the USS Liberty was a case of "mistaken identity." Of course, the government of Zion's wholly owned US President, the utterly contemptible Lyndon Baines Johnson, with the complicity of Offense Secretary Robert McNamara and Admiral John McCain Sr. (father of Senator McCain the Insane), accepted Zion's ridiculous claim and closed the book. And Congress didn't dare to investigate the matter either..But the detailed accounts of this dastardly war crime, given by American survivors, clearly contradict the Zionist lie. Their testimonies haven't wavered to this day. The object of the attack was to sink the Liberty, machine-gun any survivors, blame Egypt, and thus draw the US into a war on Israel's side. In spite of the US government's complicit coverup after the fact, more than a few high-powered men rejected the "mistaken identity" narrative.. Senator Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-IA):. "From what I have read I can't tolerate for one minute that this attack was an accident.".Dean Rusk, U.S. Secretary of State at the time of the incident:."I was never satisfied with the Israeli explanation. Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander. Through diplomatic channels we refused to accept their explanations. I didn't believe them then, and I don't believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous.".Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Ronald Reagan, offers another possible motive:."I have never believed that the attack on the USS Liberty was a case of mistaken identity. That is ridiculous. I have flown over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, thousands of hours, searching for ships and identifying all types of ships at sea. The Liberty was the ugliest, strangest looking ship in the U.S. Navy. As a communications intelligence ship, it was sprouting every kind of antenna. It looked like a lobster with all those projections moving every which way. Israel knew perfectly well that the ship was American. After all, the Liberty's American flag and markings were in full view in perfect visibility for the Israeli aircraft that overflew the ship eight times over a period of nearly eight hours prior to the attack..I am confident that Israel knew the Liberty could intercept radio messages from all parties and potential parties to the ongoing war, then in its fourth day, and that Israel was preparing to seize the Golan Heights from Syria despite President Johnson's known opposition to such a move. I think they realized that if we learned in advance of their plan, there would be a tremendous amount of negotiating between Tel Aviv and Washington. And I believe Moshe Dayan concluded that he could prevent Washington from becoming aware of what Israel was up to by destroying the primary source of acquiring that information -- the USS Liberty. The result was a wanton sneak attack that left 34 American sailors dead and 171 seriously injured. What is so chilling and cold-blooded, of course, is that they could kill as many Americans as they did in confidence that Washington would cooperate in quelling any public outcry." (emphasis added)
"It was deliberate!"1. Senator / former Governor (Iowa) Bourke Hickenlooper // 2. Secretary of State Dean Rusk // 3. Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Thomas Moorer
Indeed, there was no "public outcry" then, and there hasn't been any significant mention of the incident since. It would have been bad enough if Sulzberger's Slimes had spun the atrocity as being "an accident." But the scum at 8th Avenue in Manhattan didn't even do that. Instead, they went a step further and ignored the murder of 34 US sailors altogether! The rest of the "mainstream media" has followed accordingly ever since..It's as if the event never even happened, and as if the survivors, who have remained active and vocal ever since, do not exist. This silence alone constitutes absolute proof that "the powers that be" (cough cough) can do anything they bloody want and get away with it. (JFK assassination (1963), the killing of 241 US Marines in Lebanon (1983), the taking down of Pan Am 103 (1988), the 9/11 attacks (2001), the fake 'ISIS" beheadings and crisis-actor stunts in Europe, and Stupid-19 just to name a few..Apart from doing justice to the dead and the survivors of the USS Liberty, this false flag event is still so important to expose because, unlike all the other false flags, it is known that Israel carried out the sustained attack in broad daylight and, most importantly, it is known that the Piranha Press ignored it. A clear understanding of these two important precedents opens the zombified mind to at least considering a different interpretation of the 9/11 horror and its subsequent, ongoing, and unfinished aftermath..Remember the USS Liberty -- an act of extreme infamy executed by the "usual suspects."
A thorough cover-to-cover search using the "Times Machines" Archives (a service made possible by our reader donations -- hint, hint), for 1967's June 9th & June 10th issues of The New York Slimes turned up NOTHING of the June 8th mass murder of 34 American sailors in International waters!-
