The USS Liberty On the deliberate attack and attempted sinking of the USS Liberty, by Israel Summary: US government conspired with Israel to sink a US naval ship with all hands, then pretend Egypt did it, in order to justify a US nuclear attack on Egypt (for Israel's benefit.)

However not everyone agrees with that explanation. In this interview, James Ennis, the Officer of the deck on the USS Liberty when it was attacked by Israel, offers an additional motive. http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/ul-boston.html Declaration of Ward Boston, Jr.,Captain, JAGC, USN (Ret.) Counsel to the U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry’s investigation into the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty "I know from personal conversations I had with Admiral Kidd that President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara ordered him to conclude that the attack was a case of “mistaken identity” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Admiral Kidd told me, after returning from Washington, D.C. that he had been ordered to sit down with two civilians from either the White House or the Defense Department, and rewrite portions of the court’s findings. Admiral Kidd also told me that he had been ordered to “put the lid” on everything having to do with the attack on USS Liberty. We were never to speak of it and we were to caution everyone else involved that they could never speak of it again. I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of that statement as I know that the Court of Inquiry transcript that has been released to the public is not the same one that I certified and sent off to Washington.

Not so. Virtually every knowledgeable American official with the lone exception of Robert McNamara is on public record calling the attack deliberate and the Israeli story untrue.

Whatever Israel wants, Israel gets, no matter what. If you don’t follow their every want and need you won’t be in congress very long and you damned-well know it. The power the Israeli Lobby has over you is only slightly less sickening than what is your willingness to bow to their every damned demand. You are as guilty of murdering my shipmates as the Israelis are. You have their blood on your hands because you continue to cover up the truth concerning what happened to them. In a better time in America’s history, that would be considered treason, every bit as much as Benedict Arnold attempting to turn over West Point to the British during our own war for freedom. Were you ordinary people and not members of the US Congress your crimes would be considered accessory to murder and you would be put away for life.

This was the deal made by our government and the Israeli Government. This government will not help us get the truth out. They are knee-deep in bed with the Israeli Lobby, AIPAC and every other Israeli interest out there. Our elected officials sold us out then and they are still selling us out now. Israel is committing war crimes on Americans and our government could care less. This country is not “We the Government” it is “We the People” and if we don’t take our government back soon it is nobody’s fault but our own. What I found out later is our government was 120 seconds away from dropping nuclear bombs on Cairo, Egypt and they would have if the LIBERTY would have sunk. The LIBERTY staying afloat was an act of God. He kept us afloat to tell you the truth. If our government would have nuked Cairo you can bet the Soviet Union would have retaliated in kind on the American people.

'Perle, Feith, Wolfowitz, and all the rest of them...They're spies for Israel, every damned one of them' he said. 'Just consider the 5 guys who were arrested after 9/11, cheering and celebrating, and then afterwards we come to find out that they were Mossad and then they get sent back to Israel. They knew all about it and yet our government, the government I worked for most of my life did nothing about it. Can you imagine if these guys were Arabs?' he asked.

Ward Boston, who in 2002 broke 35 years of silence to say the US Navy Board of Inquiry long cited to clear Israel of wrongdoing in attacking a US Navy ship during the Six Day War was a sham, died June 12 in California. He was 84. http://www.wrmea.com/archives/May-June_2006/0605024.html USS Liberty and the NSA: One Deceit Too Many? Some former Air Force intelligence analysts said they read the complete real-time transmissions of an Air Force platform (this must have been USA-556, unless yet a third platform recorded the attack). Not only did the transmissions prove beyond a doubt that the attack was deliberate, but the analysts received a follow-up NSA report explicitly stating such. Yet, they later were ordered to destroy all copies. One former NSA analyst stationed in Morocco revealed he was ordered to mulch, dry, and incinerate all transcripts and reports related to the attack. http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/local&id=6835367 Valley Navy Veteran Receives Silver Star Wednesday, May 27, 2009 | 8:40 PM The Navy vet was only 23-years old when his ship ... the USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli fighter jets. 34 crewmembers were killed, 170 others injured. During the two-hour attack Halbardier fixed an antenna that was shot down and sent out a signal for help. The June 8th 1967 attack is widely controversial because Israel was the U.S.'s ally during the war. President Lyndon Johnson declared it an "accident" but those aboard are certain the attack was deliberate. "There's a lot of theories but let's just say they didn't want us listening in to what they wanted to do," said Halbardier. "The government has kept this quiet I think for too long and I felt as my constituent he needed to get recognized for the services he made to this country," said Nunes. http://rense.com/general86/attkk.htm The Attack On The USS Liberty - A Review Terrell E. Arnold 6-26-9 20100609 http://kennysideshow.blogspot.com/2010/06/uss-liberty-flubbed-up-false-flag.html USS Liberty, a US/Israeli planned false flag attack June 8, 1967 "We are not going to War over a Bunch of Dead Sailors" Apparently, Operation Cyanide included an Israeli war against Egypt in order to depose Gamal Abdul Nasser, a purported Soviet puppet. U.S. intelligence and military specialists were sent to Israel months before to plan and prepare for the operation. The operation was an agreement between Johnson and Israel during which the USS Liberty was supposed to be sunk, along with all of her crew. When Israel's attack failed to sink the ship, the game plan changed which included an apology from Israel and a phony cover story. (Very good review of the background & planning context of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty.) 20120921 http://undergrounddocumentaries.com/loss-of-liberty-the-uss-liberty-attack-full-version/ Loss of Liberty – The USS Liberty Attack - Israeli False Flag On June 8, 1967, Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats launched a ferocious two-hour attack against the USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship operating in the eastern Mediterranean. Of the 294 men aboard the vessel, 34 were killed and 172 were wounded. “The Loss of Liberty” tells the shocking, long-suppressed truth about the treacherous assault, and tears to shreds the shameful official story that the attack was a case of mistaken identity.

It wasn’t a mistake. It was deliberate.” When asked on what he based the claim, Fraser said: “Information I have. I am not going to tell you the source.” Asked by Faine if he agreed that “the pro-Israel and in particular Jewish community lobby in Australia wielded too much power”, Fraser responded, “They certainly do.” 20140609 http://presstv.com/detail/2014/06/08/366136/leaving-the-uss-liberty-crew-behind/ Ray McGovern - "Leaving the USS Liberty Crew Behind" On June 8, 1967, Israeli leaders learned they could deliberately attack a U.S. Navy ship and try to send it, together with its entire crew, to the bottom of the Mediterranean – with impunity. Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats attacked the USS Liberty, a state-of-the-art intelligence collection platform sailing in international waters off the Sinai, killing 34 of the 294 crew members and wounding more than 170. On the 47th anniversary of that unprovoked attack let’s be clear about what happened: Israeli messages intercepted on June 8, 1967, leave no doubt that sinking the USS Liberty was the mission assigned to the attacking Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats as the Six-Day War raged in the Middle East. Let me repeat: there is no doubt – none – that the mission of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was to destroy the USS Liberty and kill its entire crew. http://m.military.com/daily-news/2013/06/07/liberty-survivors-invoke-benghazi.html Liberty Survivors Invoke Benghazi, Demand Hearings Forty-six years after the attack on the USS Liberty, survivors are again demanding a congressional investigation into the incident, but this time drawing parallels to the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. http://america-hijacked.com/2011/09/02/john-mccain-praises-fathers-whitewashing-of-israels-attack-on-the-uss-liberty/ John McCain Praises Father’s Whitewashing of Israel’s Attack on the USS LIBERTY! “After years of research for this book, Judge A.

Jim Morrison came from a military family. His father was a career U.S. Navy officer and a graduate of the Naval Academy. Admiral G.S. Morrison was one of the youngest Navy officers ever selected to become a Rear Admiral at the age of 47-years-old. Then a young Ensign, Admiral Morrison was stationed at Pearl Harbor, and was an eyewitness to the attack on Dec. 7, 1941. He flew fighter aircraft in the South Pacific during the last year of WW II and again during the Korean War. Jim Morrison and his family were frequently moving during the late 1940's through the 1960's to new assignments his father was ordered to report to. While Jim Morrison was in college at UCLA film school, his father was leading a battle carrier group off the coast of South Vietnam in 1964. You can read his biography here in this article: signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20081128/news_1m28morrison.html WRH: Unlike John McCain's father, Admiral McCain, who perpetuated the cover-up of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty, Jim Morrison's father, Admiral Morrison, was apparently very public about declaring the attack intentional, a false-flag stunt by Israel to trick the United States into war against Egypt. As Morrison became more famous, he became a threat to Israel's continuance of the USS Liberty deception. Like John Lennon, Morrison's popularity with young people became a serious threat to the ongoing war plans. 20140702 http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/ussliberty.html Israel's attack on the USS Liberty A former Navy attorney who helped lead the military investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 American servicemen says former President Lyndon Johnson and his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude the incident was an accident. In a signed affidavit released at a Capitol Hill news conference, retired Capt. Ward Boston said Johnson and McNamara told those heading the Navy's inquiry to "conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary." It was “one of the classic all-American cover-ups,” said retired Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials. The panel also included a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, James Akins. WRH: Needless to say, Israel's minions are already chasing me around the net, screaming that I am an anti-Semite for doubting Israel's story about the three teens and insisting that Israel would never play dirty tricks to start wars. Here is one well-known example, in which Israelis attacked the USS Liberty and initially tried to frame Egypt for the attack, to trick the US into war against Egypt on Israel's side. The plan almost worked, and there was a nuclear-armed strike in the air on the way to Cairo when Liberty's crew erected a makeshift antenna to replace the one Israel had shot away in the attack, and got a message out identifying who their attackers really were. President Johnson ordered the incident hushed up and blamed on "bad weather" even though the photos and films taken on the USS Liberty during the attack show clear skies and light scattered clouds and good visibility. The US flag from the USS Liberty, still riddled with Israeli bullet holes, is now on display at the US Cryptographic museum.

The ruse would have worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which in turn led to the round up of an Israeli spy ring. Some of the spies were from Israel, while others were recruited from the local Jewish population. Israel responded to the scandal with claims in the media that there was no spy ring, that it was all a hoax perpetrated by "anti-Semites". http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/deception.html CONFESSIONS OF AN EX-MOSSAD AGENT (The Israeli radio Trojan in Libya) By the end of March, the Americans were already intercepting messages broadcast by the Trojan, which was only activated during heavy communication traffic hours. Using the Trojan, the Mossad tried to make it appear that a long series of terrorist orders were being transmitted to various Libyan embassies around the world (or, as they were called by the Libyans, Peoples' Bureaus). As the Mossad had hoped, the transmissions were deciphered by the Americans and construed as ample proof that the Libyans were active sponsors of terrorism. What's more, the Americans pointed out, Mossad reports confirmed it. The French and the Spanish, though, were not buying into the new stream of information. To them, it seemed suspicious that suddenly, out of the blue, the Libyans, who'd been extremely careful in the past, would start advertising their future actions. 20141115 http://www.globalresearch.ca/new-evidence-proves-israel-attacked-uss-liberty-with-orders-to-kill-294-americans/5413807 New Evidence Proves Israel Attacked USS Liberty With Orders to Kill 294 Americans 20150610 https://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/american-treachery-in-the-attack-on-the-uss-liberty-much-deeper-than-previously-assumed/ American Treachery in the Attack on the USS Liberty Much Deeper Than Previously Assumed It has long been assumed that Israel’s deliberate attack on the USS Liberty was just another of her made-to-order false flag operations done simply for the purpose of dragging an unwilling America into a Middle East war on the side of the Jewish state. However, new information uncovered by former BBC investigative journalist Peter Hounam reveals that America–and more specifically the administration of Lyndon Johnson–was not as much the unsuspecting victim in all of this that she has claimed these last 40 years. Based on relatively new evidence, the attack on the Liberty was actually part of a much larger plan and that the Liberty incident was just one domino in a series of them that had as the ultimate goal a real-live shooting war between the US and the USSR. 20151019 http://libertyfight.com/2015/NSA_photos_of_USS_Liberty.html "Spattered By Iraeli Gunfire": National Security Agency (NSA) Posts Vintage Photos of the USS Liberty On Their Website By Martin Hill LibertyFight.com October 18, 2015 https://www.nsa.gov/public_info/declass/uss_liberty/photos.shtml 20170720 http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=79397 Hidden History - USS Liberty: 'Operation Cyanide': Russians to the rescue This episode contains some explosive information...some "hidden history", if you like, about the War Crime perpetrated on the American Naval Ship "USS Liberty" on June 8, 1967 by the Israeli government of the day.

Few people in America or Russia are aware of the crucial and heroic role played by Destroyer 626/4 of the Soviet Navy during the Six-Day War in June, 1967. The commander and crew of this ship guarded the American intelligence vessel GTR-4, better known as the USS Liberty, after the attack on it by the combined air and naval branches of the Israeli Defense Force. The Zionist attack was coordinated with elements of the US Navy, US intelligence and the White House.
