The USS Liberty was an American ship attacked by Israel during the Six-Day War. The Israelis killed 34 Americans and wounded many more. The attack was either designed to hide Israel’s designs on the Golan Heights or some other territorial target (the Liberty was a spy ship) or draw the U.S. into the war by making it look like Egypt or another Arab country had attacked the ship. It was clearly not a “mistake”, as Israel has maintained, because American flags were visible. (And the “mistake” excuse is amusing in light of Israel-firsters’ usual gushing about the superiority of the Israeli military — they’re an undefeatable collection of geniuses, but they just happened to slip up this once?)
A newly released book, What I Saw That Day, is a fantastic first-hand account by survivor Phillip Tourney. Tourney is not a White activist, but he’s clearly wise to the ways of Jewish message control. In the book, he speculates that beyond the defeaning silence surrounding the attack, someone’s gotten inside the group of survivors themselves and attempted to hush things up.
Tourney himself is having none of it. Hats off to him for continuing to publicize an episode that everyone should know about. If you get a chance to buy his book, I encourage you to do so. The attack on the Liberty and subsequent silence is an undeniable example of Jewish power — and Jews’ disregard for the White non-Jews who serve them.

Was the Immigration Act of 1924 Illiberal?
from the first post I read I Don’t Blame You Yet: http://ussliberty.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/i-dont-blame-you-yet/
“…I saw the face of the devil, and in a way up close and personal . The day was June 8, 1967 at two o’clock in the afternoon, and on that day, my own government colluded with the government of another country to murder me, and although they did not succeed they did manage to kill 34 of my friends. After this, I was told never to speak about what I saw that day.
Since that day, I have seen his ugly face continuously…On the TV, in the newspapers, on the radio, and out of the mouths of our elected officials on a daily basis. I have even heard it from the mouth of someone representing that same government that killed 34 of my friends all those years ago that I was going to be murdered for not keeping my mouth shut concerning what I witnessed that day, an act of murder and an act of war against America.
The people behind the hijacking of America can do no wrong no matter what, and not just in this country, but around the world. The country that murdered my friends and got away with it, Israel, spies on us, steals our secrets, sells them to the highest bidder and moves on like nothing ever happened. Murders 34 Americans on the high seas, wounds 174 others and gets off scott-free and pays not a thin dime for her dirty deeds.
We are fighting two wars, losing thousands of American lives, wounding tens of thousands more, spending ourselves into bankruptcy while giving Israel all of our most high-tech munitions on earth, not counting the hundreds of nukes they already possess, courtesy of the theft of American nuclear material and secrets from the NUMEC plant in Pennsylvania.
What has happened to America? It is very simple really. Our politicians are bought and paid for by Israel…Corruption, blackmail, greed, or all of the above, just pick one.
When Israel got by with murdering the crew of the USS LIBERTY on the high seas as former diplomat George Ball said “they can get by with any thing”, and boy are they ever. Thank you Congress, you bought and paid for whores.”
Strong stuff.
One theory holds that the Israelis were trying to hide their massacre of captured Egyptian troops as the U.S. intelligence ship was in international waters. Another theory is that Israel was trying to conceal its Golan Heights seizure, which the U.S. opposed. There is a theory that combines the previous two: that Israel was trying to hide the massacre, which took place to free up troops for the seizing of the Golan Heights.
What is interesting is Israeli communications indicating they knew the ship was American were captured by an American plane overhead monitoring events. A serviceman in the plane listening in on the Israelis heard unusual communications, so he turned on a tape recorder. The evidence is on the tape.
someone’s gotten inside the group of survivors themselves and attempted to hush things up.
That is obvious to anyone who has been an observer of the forum the survivors had, not all but some and they would delete ALL exposure of the Inner Party’s actions in silencing the investigation and other vital information.
So it was clear that no hard exposure was going to happen there, it was controlled opposition. These are the fakes, the bought out:

The Israelis knocked out the USS Liberty’s communications system. The ship might have been sunk but for a sailor who, risking his life, managed to improvise an antenna. The Liberty then sent out a call to a nearby US aircraft carrier. The Israelis heard the call go out and worried that US planes might be launched. They backed off the attack.
A great movie could be made if Hollywood would do it.
Phil, indy producer Merlin Miller of Americana Pictures intends to make just such a movie. See the wiki article on him. For further details he was interviewed on thepoliticalcesspool.org. It is available online. It is the second hour of the first show of October 2010 if memory serves me. He makes it an investigative thriller/romance to avoid hyper expensive special effects. If you can make a substantial investment he would like to hear from you. There is both risk and potential.
The Israelis heard the call go out and worried that US planes might be launche
but President Johnson called them back ! one of the most blatantly treasonous moments in US history – and the ‘spin’ is because they thought they were russian and wanted to avoid a war. Yeah, right.
A few years ago there was an enquiry/press conference – it was surreal – the jewish spokemen of the US state department and a jewish historian came to the conclusion it was a tragic mistake by israel.
now all jewish groups self-reference that!
Maybe Mel Gibson could could team up with Merlin Miller to make a movie about the attack on the USS Liberty? Gibson has the capital to pay for special effects and a widely distributed movie highlighting this Israeli/Jewish treachery against their chief benefactor would be payback indeed for all the abuse heaped upon him by his Jewish detractors.
Very bad post. Both of the suggested reasons for a deliberate attack on the Liberty in the knowledge it was a US ship are nonsense, Israel never had to worry about the US finding out what they were up to in the Golan because the US gave them the go ahead for the war which is all they wanted. There was no need for the US to enter the war on Israel’s side because Israel beat hell out of the Arabs just like the US Joint Chiefs told Johnson they would.
They’re not ten feet tall you know; they make mistakes like everyone else.
( OK in view of the foregoing statement it’s is possible some crackpot in the Israeli leadership made the catastrophic error of deciding to knowingly attack a US ship , possible but very, very unlikely IMO.
The U.S. government detested and saw as a threat President Nasser and his pan-Arabism in the oil-rich Middle East. Israel was given the go ahead for the war, not to take Syria’s Golan Heights. There was also the matter of the Israeli massacre of captured Egyptian troops.
As for the attack on the USS Liberty in international waters, the evidence is on the tape recording made by a US plane flying in the area. An Israeli pilot radios that the ship is American. Nevertheless, he is told to attack the ship.
The post by “Someday” reminds me of the article on the Liberty at Wikipedia. If there were ever proof positive that you swim in those Tribally infested waters at your own risk, that article is it.
Dr. David Duke has an excellent video on YouTube documenting the USS Liberty attack, and the even lesser known Lavon Affair.
Israeli Terrorism Against America
Nothing can show the Zionist control over American media and politics more than the fact that Israel has committed cold-blooded, murderous terrorism and treachery against America without any reprisal. The fact that most Americans are not even aware of Israeli terrorist attacks against us speaks volumes as to the extent of media control that we are under.
This video exposes the only nation in Israel- Arab conflict that has committed terrorism against us. That nation is Israel. In the Lavon Affair terrorist attacks Israel was caught red-handed. In the attack on the USS Liberty was proven to be deliberate terrorism against us by people no less than the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, Dean Rusk, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Thomas Moorer. In the repeated spying against America by Israel, we see no “friend” but an enemy of everyone but their own Zionist agenda. It is illustrated by the Pollard Spy Case which is considered the most damaging spying done to America in our nation’s history. Yet, still our government sends billions of our tax dollars to Israel. — David Duke

We don’t know what the motives were for the attack, but we do know it was deliberate-no question about it:

The transcript published by the Jerusalem Post bore scant resemblance to the one that in 1967 rolled off the teletype machine behind the sealed vault door at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, where Steve Forslund worked as an intelligence analyst for the 544th Air Reconnaissance Technical Wing, then the highest-level strategic planning office in the Air Force.
“The ground control station stated that the target was American and for the aircraft to confirm it,” Forslund recalled. “The aircraft did confirm the identity of the target as American, by the American flag.
“The ground control station ordered the aircraft to attack and sink the target and ensure they left no survivors.”
Forslund said he clearly recalled “the obvious frustration of the controller over the inability of the pilots to sink the target quickly and completely.”
“He kept insisting the mission had to sink the target, and was frustrated with the pilots’ responses that it didn’t sink.”
Nor, Forslund said, was he the only member of his unit to have read the transcripts. “Everybody saw these,” said Forslund, now retired after 26 years in the military.
Forslund’s recollections are supported by those of two other Air Force intelligence specialists, working in widely separate locations, who say they also saw the transcripts of the attacking Israeli pilots’ communications.
One is James Gotcher, now an attorney in California, who was then serving with the Air Force Security Service’s 6924th Security Squadron, an adjunct of the NSA, at Son Tra, Vietnam.
“It was clear that the Israeli aircraft were being vectored directly at USS Liberty,” Gotcher recalled in an e-mail. “Later, around the time Liberty got off a distress call, the controllers seemed to panic and urged the aircraft to ‘complete the job’ and get out of there.”
Six thousand miles from Omaha, on the Mediterranean island of Crete, Air Force Capt. Richard Block was commanding an intelligence wing of more than 100 analysts and cryptologists monitoring Middle Eastern communications.
The transcripts Block remembered seeing “were teletypes, way beyond Top Secret. Some of the pilots did not want to attack,” Block said. “The pilots said, ‘This is an American ship. Do you still want us to attack?’
“And ground control came back and said, ‘Yes, follow orders.’”
Gotcher and Forslund agreed with Block that the Jerusalem Post transcript was not at all like what they remember reading.
“There is simply no way that [the Post transcript is] the same as what I saw,” Gotcher said. “More to the point, for anyone familiar with air-to-ground [communications] procedures, that simply isn’t the way pilots and controllers communicate.”
Block, now a child protection caseworker in Florida, observed that “the fact that the Israeli pilots clearly identified the ship as American and asked for further instructions from ground control appears to be a missing part of that Jerusalem Post article.”
Arieh O’Sullivan, the Post reporter who made the newspaper’s transcript, said the Israeli Air Force tapes he listened to contained blank spaces. He said he assumed those blank spaces occurred while Israeli pilots were conducting their strafing runs and had nothing to communicate.
‘But sir, it’s an American ship!’
Forslund, Gotcher and Block are not alone in claiming to have read transcripts of the attack that they said left no doubt the Israelis knew they were attempting to sink a U.S. Navy ship.
Many ears were tuned to the battles being fought in and around the Sinai during the Six-Day War, including those belonging to other Arab nations with a keen interest in the outcome.
“I had a Libyan naval captain who was listening in that day,” said a retired CIA officer, who spoke on condition that he not be named discussing a clandestine informant.
“He thought history would change its course,” the CIA officer recalled. “Israel attacking the U.S. He was certain, listening in to the Israeli and American comms [communications], that it was deliberate.”
The late Dwight Porter, the American ambassador to Lebanon during the Six-Day War, told friends and family members that he had been shown English-language transcripts of Israeli pilots talking to their controllers.
A close friend, William Chandler, the former head of the Trans-Arabian Pipe Line Co., said Porter recalled one of the pilots protesting, “But sir, it’s an American ship — I can see the flag!’ To which the ground control responded, ‘Never mind; hit it!’”
Porter, who asked that his recollections not be made public while he was alive because they involved classified information, also discussed the transcripts during a lunch in 2000 at the Cosmos Club in Washington with another retired American diplomat, Andrew Kilgore, the former U.S. ambassador to Qatar.
Kilgore recalled Porter saying that he “saw the telex, read it, and passed it right back” to the embassy official who had shown it to him. He quoted Porter as recalling that the transcript showed “Israel was attacking, and they know it’s an American ship.”
Haviland Smith, a young CIA officer stationed in Beirut during the Six-Day War, said that although he never saw the transcript, he had “heard on a number of occasions exactly the story that you just told me about what that transcript contained.”
He had later been told, Smith recalled, “that ultimately all of the transcripts were deep-sixed. I was told that they were deep-sixed because the administration did not wish to embarrass the Israelis.”
Perhaps the most persuasive suggestion that such transcripts existed comes from the Israelis themselves, in a pair of diplomatic cables sent by the Israeli ambassador in Washington, Avraham Harman, to Foreign Minister Abba Eban in Tel Aviv.
Five days after the Liberty attack, Harman cabled Eban that a source the Israelis code-named “Hamlet” was reporting that the Americans had “clear proof that from a certain stage the pilot discovered the identity of the ship and continued the attack anyway.”
Harman repeated the warning three days later, advising Eban, who is now dead, that the White House was “very angry,” and that “the reason for this is that the Americans probably have findings showing that our pilots indeed knew that the ship was American.”
According to a memoir by then-CIA director Richard Helms, President Johnson’s personal anger was manifest when he discovered the story of the Liberty attack on an inside page of the next day’s New York Times. Johnson barked that “it should have been on the front page!”
Israeli historian Tom Segev, who mentioned the cables in his recent book “1967,” said other cables showed that Harman’s source for the second cable was Arthur Goldberg, then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
The cables, which have been declassified by the Israelis, were obtained from the Israeli State Archive and translated from Hebrew by the Tribune.
Oliver Kirby, the NSA’s deputy director for operations at the time of the Liberty attack, confirmed the existence of NSA transcripts.
Asked whether he had personally read such transcripts, Kirby replied, “I sure did. I certainly did.”
“They said, ‘We’ve got him in the zero,’” Kirby recalled, “whatever that meant — I guess the sights or something. And then one of them said, ‘Can you see the flag?’ They said ‘Yes, it’s U.S, it’s U.S.’ They said it several times, so there wasn’t any doubt in anybody’s mind that they knew it.”
Kirby, now 86 and retired in Texas, said the transcripts were “something that’s bothered me all my life. I’m willing to swear on a stack of Bibles that we knew they knew.”
One set of transcripts apparently survived in the archives of the U.S. Army’s intelligence school, then located at Ft. Holabird in Maryland.
W. Patrick Lang, a retired Army colonel who spent eight years as chief of Middle East intelligence for the Defense Intelligence Agency, said the transcripts were used as “course material” in an advanced class for intelligence officers on the clandestine interception of voice transmissions.
“The flight leader spoke to his base to report that he had the ship in view, that it was the same ship that he had been briefed on and that it was clearly marked with the U.S. flag,” Lang recalled in an e-mail.
“The flight commander was reluctant,” Lang said in a subsequent interview. “That was very clear. He didn’t want to do this. He asked them a couple of times, ‘Do you really want me to do this?’ I’ve remembered it ever since. It was very striking. I’ve been harboring this memory for all these years.”

Someday: “Both of the suggested reasons for a deliberate attack on the Liberty…”
The folly consists in supposing that an attack must be rational. Why did the Israeli soldier driving the bulldozer run over Rachel Corrie? For fun, most likely. Certainly it wasn’t rational.
Hate is its own justification. It needs no other reason.
The post by “Someday” merely confirms the fact that the Ultimate Hypocrites have their tools constantly monitoring and posting on this site. The post is a classic piece of double-talk wrapped around a lack of reasoning that is supposed to go unnoticed by the stupid goyim.
They used cannon fire mainly and didn’t sink it, hence left witnesses.
Radio silence/ security is basic in modern war.
It is likely the Liberty incident occurred because the uber-moral Israeli IDF had murdered about 150 Egyptian POW’s nearby in the ElArish airport.
Combine this with their plan to capture the Golan Heights that week from Syria, and you have Israel’s casus belli for the entire events that took place that year.
The worst part is that the US government remained mum about it to this day.
Link to Audio transcripts & recordings of the Liberty from one of the one of the airborne platforms that recorded the Israeli pilots:
http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/declass/uss_liberty/recordings.shtml
(The recordings are in Hebrew and contain time counts in English that were added by the intercept operator. )
On checking Dean Rusk and Richard Helms thought it was deliberate so maybe it is not ‘very very unlikely’ after all. But at most it is still just a maybe, not a fact.
The fact is that there is a tape recording.
Someday keeps it up. It’s as hilarious as the vastly overrated skills of Israeli pilots. We’ve had to sit through decades of hearing how they’re the best, yet the fact is that American pilots were brought in secretly from duty in Vietnam to do the real work in the Six Day War because the Israelis weren’t cutting it. But then again, the jews never really have had the right stuff in face to face warfare. They can only handle opponents who are limited to rocks and bottles.

@They Lie….I wouldn’t shortsell the Zionist military just yet; we’ll see what they do against Iran, though I expect they’ll have us do most of the heavy lifting. As for the Liberty, I think it had something like a 30′ x 20′ US flag painted on the foredeck; the Jew-pilots knew exactly what they were attacking. Why attack? The ship was intercepting both sides’ military communications and, while the Jews reserve the right to spy on us, they do not want us spying on them. Why the LBJ cover-up? Organized Jewry has owned the Demican Party since before the 1948 election; now, via the neo-con infestation + $$$, they control the Republicrats as well. And the tail will continue to wag the dog until WE rid ourselves of the ZOG.
CompassionateFascist: The jews will start the war with Iran and then jump back and have us do the work immediately. Maybe they’ll even run a false flag op as is their custom and have the US defend itself from Islamic barbarity. I side with the author in the link provided by ‘They Lie Everday’. The jewish military is highly overrated, always has been. The guy who wrote the piece on their sorry state of affairs made sure he was just PC enough to keep his column going.
LBJ was practically a jew, as he rubber-stamped every piece of zionist legislation put in front of him. In fact, literally within hours of taking office he changed US policy in the Middle East to Israel uber alles. One of the biggest traitors to this country that ever lived.
