06-01-07 - Betraying the Sailors of the USS Liberty What would be the charge against McNamara? He denied aid to American troops when they were under deadly attack and as a result 20 some men died and many more were injured. I'm no lawyer, but I've been told that the applicable crime is treason. But the order came down from Johnson himself. You can read more information about the attack on the official USS Liberty website run by the survivors at http://www.ussliberty.org. There is also a History Channel DVD on the attack available to purchase here. The British did a documentary called "Dead in the Water", a clip of which is available to watch from the lower right corner of this page. So many Americans have never even heard of the USS Liberty. That would be because somebody does not want you to know. The survivors filed a War Crimes Report with the Secretary of the Army TWO YEARS ago. No action has been taken yet by our government, to my knowledge. That's all the proof anyone needs of the power that Israel has over our government.

That might explain why critics say the service has recently been caught broadcasting terrorist messages, including an hour-long tirade on the importance of anti-Jewish violence, among other questionable pieces. It's reminiscent of a recent US trial coming up here in America, whereby an alleged terrorist purportedly went on anti-Jewish tirades but the defense lawyers could find no such thing in the transcripts of the phone call intercepts in which they allegedly took place.

"It was like talking to any other kid, about 27 years old," she said. "He was smiling. My translator told me, ?He's talking about killing Jews. Which is why he DIDN'T kill his Israeli Jewish friend Tali Fahima? Was the 'translator' from MEMRI?....

06-01-07 - ANOTHER ISRAELI "FALSE-FLAG" OPERATION The alleged motive behind the Lavon Affair was very similar to the one behind this incident - to torpedo warming relations between the US and Egypt. Could very well be the real motive behind the Hariri assassination as well; poison relations between US and Syria, get the Syrians out of Lebanon, turn Lebanese against Syria, etc. Had Israel succeeded in its efforts to totally sink the USS Liberty, I wonder how that would have been portrayed? Who would have been implicated? Certainly not Israel (likely why it used unmarked aircraft during the attack). If it weren't for the survivors of the attack, we may never have known who did it. Somehow most Americans are not aware of this attack, which is a little strange, don't you think?
