Remembering The USS Liberty: We Must Never Forget!
By Chuck Baldwin
November 11, 2021


The USS Liberty is lumbering in international waters. It is flying a brand new 8’x5’ flag, which unmistakably identifies it as a U.S. vessel. The ship’s markings are ten feet high on both sides. It is not a warship. It is an intelligence-gathering ship. For all intents and purposes, it is defenseless against any warship or attack aircraft, having but four .50-calibre Browning machine guns without shrapnel shields as its only offensive weapons. On board are 286 souls.

Suddenly, and without provocation, Israel attacks the ship with unmarked warplanes (using French Mirage jets) and torpedo boats. For over an hour, the helpless ship is riddled with machine-gun fire, rockets and torpedoes.

Much of the ordinance Israel used in the attack on The Liberty was provided by the United States.

Within moments, the ship is completely disabled. As it seems certain that the ship will sink, lifeboats are lowered, but Israel’s attacking torpedo boats immediately riddle the lifeboats with gunfire. Helicopters from Israel carrying Special Forces troops hover over the ship, which is now listing at nine degrees.

Clearly, Israel intends that no one survives.

The ship has no engines, no rudder and no power. As the Special Forces soldiers from the attacking country are being positioned to launch their final assault, The Liberty’s Captain barks, “Standby to repel boarders.” One sailor yells, “They’ve come to finish us off.”

The 67-minute attack would prove to be the bloodiest assault on a U.S. ship since World War II.

The only thing that saves that ship and those survivors that day is eight U.S. warplanes from a U.S. aircraft carrier finally arrives. This caused Israel’s attacking forces to withdraw.

When the attack first began, however, American fighter jets were dispatched to assist the American ship and its crew, but those jets were turned around—BY THE WHITE HOUSE, specifically President Lyndon Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara.

Thirty-four of the ship’s officers and crew are killed, and a majority of the rest of the crew are wounded. Only a divine miracle and superhuman, Herculean effort from the sailors in the bowels of that steel graveyard keep the ship afloat.

When the attack first began, one Israeli general protested to his commanding officer saying, “This is pure murder.” One Israeli pilot refused to attack the ship because it was American. He was imprisoned by the Israeli government. But many of the Israeli pilots shouted with glee when they saw The Liberty burning.

“Great! Wonderful! She’s burning! She’s burning!” transcripts show one of the Israeli pilots shouting during the attack. Transcripts also proved that Israeli attackers had positively identified the ship as being American a full 26 minutes before launching the torpedo attack.

Now get this: Instead of sending The Liberty to the nearest safe port, which was Crete, only one day’s sail away, Navy commanders ordered that the ship go to Malta, a seven-day journey across the deepest parts of the Mediterranean Sea—with the ship now listing at fifteen degrees. Obviously, the White House was certain that The Liberty would sink before making it to Malta.

But the ship didn’t sink.

When the White House knew there would be survivors who could tell the truth about what happened, it immediately employed a massive cover-up to conceal the facts of the attack. It began with a psyops public declaration that the attack had been an “accident.” But the attack was never really investigated.

There was no need to investigate; everyone in the upper echelons of the U.S. government knew what had happened. In fact, those at the very top were co-conspirators in the attack.

“The Navy was ordered to hush this up, say nothing, allow the sailors to say nothing,” said Rear Admiral Thomas Brooks, a former Director of Naval Intelligence. “The Navy rolled over and played dead.”

Israeli diplomats tapped influential American Jews, many of whom were close friends with President Johnson, to help with the cover-up.

Documents show that Eugene Rostow, who was third in command of the State Department, repeatedly shared privileged information about U.S. strategy with Israeli diplomats. Others who assisted Israel included Supreme Court justice Abe Fortas and Arthur Goldberg, who was the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Many of these and others who helped the embassy are referred to by code names in Israeli documents. For example, Democratic fund-raiser Abe Feinberg is identified in Israeli records by the codename “Hamlet.”

Israeli diplomats likewise hammered the media to kill critical stories and slant others in favor of Israel. Diplomats hustled, for example, to derail a potential news story about pressure on New York Representative Otis Pike to launch a congressional investigation into the attack. “We have made sure that the journalistic source will refrain from writing about this for now,” cabled embassy spokesman Dan Patir.

Johnson, whose focus largely was on Vietnam, looked for a compromise that would guarantee that American families were compensated but would not risk a clash with Israel’s domestic supporters. He ordered Nicholas Katzenbach, second-in-command at the State Department, to negotiate the deal: If Israel publicly apologized for the attack and paid reparations, the United States would let it go, no more questions asked.

In evaluating the Liberty court of inquiry, it is worth comparing it to the court that examined North Korea’s capture of the Pueblo. The Liberty court lasted just eight days, interviewed only 14 crewmen, and produced a final transcript that was 158 pages. In contrast, the Pueblo court lasted almost four months, interviewed more than 100 witnesses, and produced a final transcript that was nearly 3,400 pages.

Captain Ward Boston, the lawyer for the Liberty court, broke his silence in 2002, stating that investigators were barred from traveling to Israel to interview the attackers, collect Israeli war logs, or review communications. Furthermore, he said Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara had ordered the court to endorse Israel’s claim that the attack was an accident, which Boston personally did not believe was the case. “I am certain that the Israeli pilots that undertook the attack, as well as their superiors who had ordered the attack, were well aware that the ship was American.” (Source)

To this day, the Israeli-controlled mainstream media refuses to say a word about the attack on The USS Liberty. And not one single U.S. president (including Republicans) has given the surviving crew of The Liberty due public recognition—not Nixon, not Bush I, not Reagan, not Bush II and not Donald Trump: All of them gave The Liberty survivors the royal snub.

And when is the last time you heard any Republican House or Senate member say anything about The USS Liberty? No one in Congress will talk, because the vast majority of them—Republicans and Democrats—are bought off by the Israeli lobby. And the ones that aren’t know that their future careers—and maybe even safety—depend on their silence.

The only two members of Congress that I can personally remember who were willing to blow the whistle on the Israeli attack on The USS Liberty were both Democrats: Cynthia McKinney from Georgia and James Traficant from Ohio. And we all know what happened to each of them.

Well, THIS SUNDAY, November 14, 2021, Liberty Fellowship and I will be proud to host several survivors of The USS Liberty at our Sunday service in Kalispell, Montana. These men will be with us on behalf of the Liberty Veterans Association to present fellow crewmember Ron Kukal a very special award.

We at Liberty Fellowship are very honored that we would be asked to host this special ceremony. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime event for each of us privileged to attend this service.

If you live within driving distance or are able to fly to Kalispell this weekend, we invite you to come and help us honor these brave surviving crewmen of The USS Liberty.

Was that a 'false flag' to provoke conflict with Egypt or some other 'threat' to Israel?

....the USS Liberty was a NSA spy boat....they were caught taping the Israeli army wiping out several hundred Palestinians...

James Bamford covers it in his book Body of Secrets...I haven't read the follow up The Shadow Factory to see if he covers it there...

Hopefully @The Creator doesn't get attacked by the ADL for allowing people to discuss the USS Liberty on his website. Just saying the words USS Liberty is considered hate speech and antisemitic.

[buffalo_girl]

....the USS Liberty was a NSA spy boat....they were caught taping the Israeli army wiping out several hundred Palestinians...

So...why was Johnson complicit in allowing the Israeli attack on The USS Liberty to continue?

[HVDC]

I believe that the Liberty was sent there to be sunk.

They were not in their normal area of operations.

The reason?

Probably to bring the United States into the conflict on the Israeli side.

Could have been something else.

We will never know.

Many people at the highest levels of our government were involved.

Just like 9-11.

But go ahead and keep believing that "we" are the good guys.

Go ahead and believe that the Israelis are the good guys.

Treason and Murder.

Their stock in trade.

Capital crimes that go unpunished.

Just like Covid.

It's not going to stop until we stop it.

Just say No.

To everything.

Some people believe that Johnson was Crypto Jew.

A Crypto Jew is someone who hides their Jewish ancestry, particularly for nefarious reasons.

It is also alleged that as a Congressman he helped smuggle illegal alien Jews into the country across the Tex/Mex border.

These Jews were then given false IDs and often employment at several specific universities amongst other places.

The University of Chicago being one of them.

For those who have an inquiring mind this might mean something.

Maybe not.

For those who don't.

How 'bout them Lakers?

Good question...I can guess but I don't know the whole story.

I was in the US Army Security Agency - ASA (ELectronic INTerception collection arm for NSA) serving in southern Japan during June 1967 when this event took place. The Navy also had a similar NSA agency relationship called the Naval Security Group - NSG. I worked with the NSG in southern Japan mainly targeting China, North Korea, Russia before going into Vietnam in September 1967.

There was concern that the USS Liberty was collecting tactical operations information on Iraeli operations during the Six-Days War that would LEAK to hostile forces.

Israel did not want any possibility for leaks. Israel did not trust the US. Hence the elimination of the NSG collection effort.

Sorry state of affairs that the USA sacrifices its own military personnel to maintain international relations. DON'T TRUST YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!

edit: date correction

Was also in Vietnam when the USS Pueblo was "captured" by the North Koreans in January 1968. That incident raised holy hell with our secure communications networks when the North Koreans got hold of our code books and communications equipment. It took us most of the next month or so to get back secure again. Not even sure we got secure again.

LBJ was a ruthless killer. He Left a string of bodies on his way to VP...then went after JFK. The sordid tale laid out in Roger Stone's meticulously researched book: The Man Who Killed Kennedy.

The Israeli air force and navy attacked the USS Liberty near the end of the 6-Day War in 1967. Three years later, I witnessed the United States was supplying Israel with military hardware and technical advisors. How does that add up?

It was explained to me that the USS Liberty was gathering intel from Israeli communications, sending it to Washington, D.C. It was they passed on to Moscow, and from the Russians to the Syrians, compromising Israel's plans to attack the Golan Heights.

Also not reported in the U.S. news media was "two or three truckloads" of Russian military advisors were captured by Israel on Golan and in Syria. As I was told while in Israel, the Russians agreed to let I don't know how many Russian Jews emigrate to Israel if that story were suppressed. My work in Israel in 1967 brought me in daily contact with 2 of those Russian Jews.

That's a nice story.

Sounds plausible.

However, deception is their Motto.

How can anyone believe anything they say?

Always the victim, never the perpetrator.

The Banksters created modern day Israel.

The Banksters control the West including the united States.

They controlled it when Israel attacked the Liberty.

They controlled it when they destroyed the WTC.

They are behind the Covid scam.

Deception.

Not buying it.

It appears... the operating perfection of Secret Combinations is their ability to deceive at multiple levels - more than likely in collusion. The trail of blood and destruction is the evidence they arrogantly leave in their wake.
