all right you guys I'll get right into
this a couple of weeks ago I received a
letter that changed my life certainly
changed the course of my life in
politics and I am going to read you that
letter now and let you know that the
author of it is sitting across from
me it reads my name is Philip turny I am
77 years old today on June 8th 1967 I
was just 20 years old when the Gallant
crew of the USS Liberty was savagely
attacked
our American flag was proudly flying on
our ship in the Mediterranean Sea that
day the designation agtr R5 was clearly
painted on the bow port and starboard
sides USS Liberty was written in English
on her Stern when we arrived on June 7th
we were overflown by Israeli
reconnaissance aircraft and the same
activity was repeated on the morning of
June 8th we were positively identified
as American and friendly by the
IDF we had requested a Destroyer Escort
long before we entered the Mediterranean
but we were denied twice our captain
assured us that we were clearly marked
as American and we therefore had nothing
to fear we were alone 12 1/2 miles off
the coast of the Sai Peninsula always in
international waters the Israeli
reconnaissance aircraft were clearly
marked with the Star of David we
therefore felt secure seeing a flying
box car and other smaller Recon
propeller aircraft taking good care of
us the attack began at 2:00 on a
beautiful bright sunny day by French
made Mirage and Mye Jets painted black
with no markings we had no clue who was
attacking us but assumed it was an Arab
State during the first pass by the Jets
took out all but one of our transmitting
antennas as well as every watertight
door above the
waterline the Air Attack lasted about 25
minutes killing and Ming our
firefighters and any sailor who moved
our radio man took one antenna offline
so it wasn't transmitting and wasn't hit
he ran a long wire to it and the SOS
went out to the sixth Fleet it was even
picked up as far away as
Vietnam Rockstar Rockstar under attack
by an unknown jet aircraft help us help
us Captain Tully Skipper of the USS
Saratoga sent Jets to come to our Aid
before the Jets hit the Horizon they
were recalled by Secretary of Defense
Robert
mcamera captain enan of the USS America
in Tully relaunched more aircraft to Aid
us
they were also recalled This Time by
Lynden Bane Johnson himself he said
quote I don't care about a few dead
Sailors I will not embarrass my Ally
Israel returned to base immediately end
quote how did he know who was attacking
us if we did
not we were set up by our own government
to let a foreign government have their
way with us the IDF even dropped Napal
on the bridge of our ship how low they
would go we would soon find out three
motor torpedo boats headed our way and
one torpedo hit our starboard side we
saw the star of David on the boats they
were there to sink us the attack
continued for another hour and a half
attacking jet aircraft destroyed all but
three of our life rafts which we had put
overboard we were going to place our
most seriously wounded in them so that
they would have a chance at life but the
IDF would have none of that they shot
two of them out of the water and took
one aboard their boats as a trophy of
the kill they continued shooting and
killing my mates they left and we
thought that it was over but it wasn't
IDF helicopters were sent with troops
armed and ready to board our ship and
finish us off then they just left I
guess the gig was up when the mighty IDF
could not SN our defenseless ship when
it was all done there were over 821
rocket and Cannon holes and over 5,000
armor-piercing bullets riddling the ship
nap bomb was burning us up and a 40x 40t
torpedo hole was in her side causing the
ship to list badly to our starboard side
we then waited 17 hours for help I guess
they hoped that we would sink that night
help was only 40 minutes away from us
but they left us out alone to die when
the USS America and the USS Davis
arrived to help us they took our wounded
to care for them their wounds were so
horrific words cannot explain Admiral
kid boarded our ship a few days later
and the cover up immediately
began we were ordered to never speak of
the attack to anyone not even with one
another penalties would be fines
imprisonment or worse and we all knew
that worse meant death we have been
treated like garbage for the last 57
years Congress has been bought and paid
for with the exception over the years of
a few Brave lawmakers their names are
Representatives Pete MOSI Paul Finley
and Jim
traffi as the corageous rep Thomas
Massie has noted all Republican members
of Congress except for him have APAC
handlers we can assume this is also true
of nearly all
Democrats we are the most decorated ship
in Naval History for a single engagement
I believe God saved us that day to allow
us to communicate the truth of this
attack to leaders like you we give all
power to Jesus Christ we are just his
servants that horrible day and now the
USS Liberty survivors are the biggest
whistleblowers this country has ever
seen we have been smeared as
anti-semitic Jew haters and Nazis our
only sin is that we survive
we didn't kill anyone Israel did all the
murdering that day and the US government
did all the covering up I'm asking you
to help us save America by telling other
the facts about the slaughter of my
mates we are begging you to support us
respectfully Phil tney the president of
the USS Liberty veterans
association great honor to have you here
today thank you Ken this is a great
honor for me to be here and uh represent
the Gallant crew of the USS Liberty that
have been uh treated so badly as I said
in the letter for 57 years so I just
want to start um just really at the
beginning I guess when did you sign up
to be in the United States military I
joined the Navy at 17 years old at
uh San Diego California as far I went to
boot
camp I did two tours Vietnam uh before I
got aboard the USS
Liberty and uh I did three tours with
her including her last
so um that's that was my Naval career
and I got out the Navy and then uh I
wasn't working at the time I thought I'd
never go back in because why would I go
back into a place where people are going
to try to kill me but I wasn't working
had I had baby so I went back in and I
got aboard the USS madx d731 which was
in the Talan Gulf which was a another
false flag wow so just as a question I
mean most people I just being in the
Vietnam War I mean that was traumatizing
enough obviously so you came back and
you decided that you were still going to
serve the country uh when exactly did
you find out that you were going to be
aboard the USS
Liberty I found out when I got orders uh
to go to the U East Coast from the West
coach I was on an ammunition ship then
USS uh monia ae22
I said well great I'm going away to the
east coast and I always wanted to go
there anyway so I ended up on the
liberty and when I got aboard the
Liberty they said it was a ship that
mapped the bottom of the ocean and I
said wow how could that be when all the
antennas are going straight up but I was
a dumb kid I believed anything they told
me until a few months after that and I
said no now this ain't right we're a spy
ship okay so they initially said to you
they didn't even you're Serv on a ship
and they don't even tell you the truth
about why you're there so here you are
and they're like you're just here to map
the bottom of the ocean yes that's what
they told me okay but there were two
different Crews aboard that ship there
were 200 spies CIA and sa spies and I
was in ship's company engineering and
there were a hundred of us and with the
other guys BOS and mat Cooks things like
that to run the ship our only job
Candace was to make sure that the
communication technicians got they had
to go mhm so they could they could do
their deal okay and so when did you
notice or I guess when did it become
apparent to you how long had you been
aboard before you went I don't really
think that we're here to map the bottom
of the ocean did they tell you hey I'm
actually in the CIA or I'm in the NSA no
they they didn't they didn't uh talk to
us and we didn't talk to them we weren't
allowed to okay and so it's two two
different Crews and I I we know we
figured it out pretty quick what was
going on you know but um yeah it was it
was so secret I mean everything was
secret very very secret and did you just
wondering how the setup is are you
sharing a room with four five people how
does that work on the ship well I was in
a a bunk room with um about uh 70 men 70
men in one room MH wow okay yeah that
was engineering spaces and up forward
was the uh Bosa mates that's where they
had their birthing the spikes the spies
were in the back of the ship okay and so
what's a typical day like typical day
was get up take a
shower uh go to cow go to work stand
your watches and uh when we were out of
seeve we' sunbathe a lot CU you know we
were all always off the coast of Africa
and we were doing a reconnaissance there
up and down the coast four 5 miles an
hour all the time and we just go up and
down and up and down we go to Ports
different ports uh
lwanda uh Angola um abigan you name it
all the ports on the west west coast so
it's beautiful oh my was it ever Great
Taste pineapples everything it was great
I love those people they were good to us
and you're you're also thinking this is
very low risk you're going hey in terms
of having an engagement I'm being sent
out here it's a beautiful weather we're
sunbathing things are things are looking
up yeah things are it was great I mean
it was good Duty it was great duty but
on the last Cruise
um we were headed to Africa again just
like we always
did we stopped in
Aben and uh this was in
June and we got emergency orders to
leave we just gotten there we got
emergency orders to leave get everybody
bu back board ship
asap and we took off for points we had
no idea where going but the Six Day War
was was going on okay see and we didn't
know it oh you didn't know it was going
on no not not till a little bit later
okay okay so at this point and just to
be clear how long had you been aboard
the USS
Liberty uh I did uh a little over two
and a half years on the Liberty oh I
didn't realize it was that long yeah you
had seasick not seasick at all then I
guess I got seasick every time I went
out for about a week and then was gone
okay
so now you you you get these emergency
orders and you have no idea where you're
going uh there are they giving you any
information or they're just saying it's
an emergency everybody get back in
everybody get back in and we headed uh
to road to Spain we we picked up uh
three
Marines they were linguists and uh a
civilian Alan blue he was a uh he he was
killed by the way uh he was another
linguist but he worked directly for the
uh NSA okay okay so he gets on board
you're in Spain now and then where do
you go we had into the Mediterranean uh
you know into uh go through the rocket
de Walter and all that
and all the ships were going this way
going the other way we were the only one
going that way okay and still not
nobody's informing you about the Six Day
War yeah we did find out that we were
going into a war zone okay and what
information if any did they give you you
none none you're just going into a war
zone prepare for anything no we well we
were prepared uh because our our captain
captain
momal we we trained all the time for for
you know U different situations chemical
drills fire all kinds of different
stuff and what's the general mood as you
guys are heading towards there the
conversation between you and your
Shipmates
apprehension um
in fact we had the star David we knew
what was going on then we had the people
had star Davids all over the ship inside
the ship hoping the Israel would win
because they were our best buddies in
the whole wide
world and
um come to find out they
weren't so now it's June 7th is is that
correct when you arrive into the saai
peninsula right we get well we were uh
we got there on the 7th and the Israelis
started overflying us
then taking pictures of us same thing
happened on the June the 8th a flying
Box Car which is a two engine plane the
doors were open you can see the
cameraman taking pictures of us so
they're that close they're that low oh
yeah they were you could see the pilots
we would wave at them they'd wave at us
very friendly they would dip their wings
like everything's great and we felt good
because our best friends were
there and uh we had no worries I mean
none at all uh because they were going
to protect
us but it ended up they didn't so you
had described in your letter um saying
that you you had the American flag
displayed can you describe for me first
and foremost again reiterate where it
was displayed and also how large the
flag was right it was on the mass and
uh the flag was brand new it was a 5x8
uh flag very visible it was 12 knots
going over across the deck you could see
the flag and in fact the Israelis
identified us as American and friendly
how do you know that well we know it
because of uh The Intercept we picked up
and they admitted it
themselves uh we were on their war table
they identified us as
American and when they changed the watch
they forgot to tell the other Watch
Commander that we were there they took
us off their war table so we no we no
longer existed okay when you say take
you off the war war table I'm not
familiar with that lingo okay so what
what does that mean they took us off the
war well uh on on the war table they
have like uh different ships or
different like literally set up the
table that shows you right and what's
going on and they they they took us off
so we were we were gone to them they
they thought and but
they knew exactly what they were doing
exactly what they were doing when they
overflew us they took the pictures of
all the ship they know exactly what to
hit and when to hit it and I might add
uh I I I believe and I think most my
Shipmates believe that this attack was
planned a year in advance a year in
advance yes what makes you say that well
uh there was another spy ship in the
area USS or uh SS bdes
it was a civilian man ship but it was
owned by the Navy it could have done the
same thing that that we were doing but
they they took him out of the
area sink in the USS Liberty is a hell
of a lot sexier than sink in the
Valdes why is that well it's it's all
American Sailors and Marines they wanted
this at the bottom and so they could
blame it on the Arab states and bring us
into World War II okay so let me ask you
a question question now it's the morning
of the 8th and you you like you said on
the 7th they took pictures they
positively identified you you were able
to hear this over the radio um did they
still have at that moment the CIA agents
on board yes yes the NSA agents were on
board so you still got the exact same
amount of people that are on board here
right okay so we're talking about a
pretty big sacrifice they were willing
to make right total number of people 29
four souls 294 souls okay take me
through what happened on June 8th you
get up we get up at
0600 and uh like I say we go to Chia and
it takes you go to CH go to work we had
a damage control drill just before the
attack say about
1:00 and I was in damage control I was
assistant onse leader in damage
control and I was in an impregnated suit
which is a suit
uh for washing down the ship of
chemicals and it was very very hot that
day I mean 100 degrees on the deck
easier or more and I was I thought it
was going to pass out it was so hot
finally it was over with and I went and
stoed my
gear excuse me the um sound part phones
weren't working on the starberry gun
mount the sound yeah there're they're
sound powerered phones you know from
uh just like you know you could put on
headphones but they were sound powerered
they weren't
electrical and uh for some reason it
wasn't
working and I went to the IC shop and I
got a A friend of mine David skak he was
an icman and that was his job take care
of the IC uh system there for sound
powerered phones and the IC System uh
intercoms on the
ship and he came up and the Gunner's
mate was up there also they were men in
the guns we're in a condition three just
in case CU we could see the bombs going
off and everything on on
the um sin so we thought you know this
is really not a good place to
be and
um just as soon as I left that gun mount
about 30 seconds after I left it I got
back to my workstation and every all
hell broke loose the attack
began what's the um first thing you
remember first thing I remember was um
all hands get to your general quarter
station we're under attack we're under
attack and I got to my GQ station which
is in uh the front part of the
ship and those two men that I just left
there not a minute it took me to get
back up there they were dead they're
blown to bits
anything that moved aboard that ship
they were shot
at as in the letter they they took out
all all of our antennas within 3 seconds
our four 50 caliber machine guns were
gone every water tip door was was hit
and this went on for 25 minutes dropping
Napal on
us uh I
mean 25 minutes of that you can't
imagine every every second was like an
hour there was nowhere to hide nowhere
to run and you got you got people
severely blown up wounded bad
badly and it continued and continued
continued for 25 30 minutes and then
there there was a
low the to we saw the torpedo boats
coming and we thought the star David you
know oh good because these were unmarked
J aircraft we we didn't know who was
attacking us we thought it was the Arabs
and then we saw the torpedo boats and
they star David out oh man here's our
best friends are going to come help us
no they come to
saus when you talk about um them
dropping Napal and so they did this
immediately what does that do for people
that are not aware what what is the
purpose of that and how how does the
body react to Napalm the chemical
agent it can burn youever severely and
it all so um Can explode your
lungs very very hot I tried to go up and
put it out with CO2 and I couldn't do it
they shot up all our fire hoses too we
had no no way to fight fires with water
at all they shot them all up instantly
in that first 25 minutes so they took
out uh everything the antennas instantly
the fire hoses instantly so you couldn't
take out fire and during those 25
minutes what were you doing
specifically I was uh getting people off
deck taking to a triage in the mess
deex uh the whole mes deex was full of
people laying on the tables on the floor
it was a sea of broken and blooded
men and it uh continued like that for I
could say
for the entire attack you know and then
the torpedo boats got up to us they did
you know they fired five Torpedoes at
us so all the antennas are taken out 25
minutes has
passed and there's they're obviously
assuming that you can't communicate your
distress um you indicated in your letter
was it before the Torpedoes that
fortunately somebody had taken one one
of those offline Terry
halbardier is a third class Radian he
strung a long wire to the only anten he
took that antenna off line because the
it wasn't working so they did they
didn't hit it because they were using
heat seeking missiles to hit all the
antennas because when they're tuning
they they they threw off heat and they
they took them all out except that one
and and he got thank God I mean there's
there's reasons for all this happened
and uh he got hooked up Rockstar
Rockstar and like I said went went to
Vietnam the six Fleet picked it up they
automatically sent aicraft from the
seroga uh and Captain Tully and before
they even hit the Horizon maer's bring
those aircraft back do not help Liberty
turn around so our secretary of defense
I mean this attack could in theory since
he was able to get that message out in
theory the attack could could have been
over how long after it
started almost immediately in fact they
they could have saved 25 Brave American
lives all spies that got killed when the
torpedo hit but instead if they were to
just let those planes come help us but
that wasn't the deal we were set up by
our own government to die so Robert
mcamera who in interviews thereafter
says he doesn't remember a single thing
that happened that day that's what he
told the Chicago Tribune who doesn't
remember anything that happened that day
he recalls them back um and then what
happens then the American totally re
reconfigured their aircraft and they
sent aircraft again because they they
went to a different command they wanted
their prerogative to go to a different
higher CU they're thinking what do you
mean pull us back like our American and
then uh lvj gets on the phone and his
exact words were is I don't give a GD if
all those Sailors die I'm not going to
embarrass my Ally Israel like I said in
the letter now how did he know that if
we didn't know it who was attacking us
so they then have the president of the
United States so these this guy's trying
to do the right thing Captain Tully he's
like we're going to help them he gets
called back by the Secretary of Defense
he's thinking I'm going to go over his
head because this is crazy and now the
president of the United States is saying
I don't care I don't give a GD if they
die I am not going to embarrass our
friend and Ally Israel so he knew he
knew and you know uh they destroyed
Captain T's career too they fired him he
got fired for doing that he was a World
War II uh fighter pilot very very highly
decorated good man in fact he come to
one of our reunions and broke down like
a baby and cried said I I'm sorry I
couldn't help you
it wouldn't let me and he he took that
to his grave he just he was a Broken Man
W I can't even imagine what he went
through yeah having to follow orders
when the orders were so demonic yes
absolutely so he gets called back again
this time it's from the president of the
United States and now you are seeing
torpedo boats with the Star of David now
now you guys know and you're thinking
amazing we're about to get saved we've
got these flags inside we know who these
guys are F we don't know who's attacking
us but we know these are our friends
when did that when did you notice wait a
second something's not right
here when the uh old man said U prepare
for torpedo here at starbur
side I saw two Torpedoes go um
AF where the other two went I don't know
but I know where one of them went
that hit in their communication uh
spaces and killed 25 Brave young
men and that's that's one of the reasons
I'm here today to be their voice because
they we're not going to let them die in
vain this there's you know there's only
there's not many survivors left that are
dying
out and uh it's our duty As Americans
and Patriots to take care of them and
make sure their lives did didn't die in
vain and you know
um all presidents and all
Congress including Donald
Trump has not done anything for
us they're beholden to the Zion State
APAC you know uh Donald Trump's a new
president again I call on Donald
Trump to help
us I mean we gave our lives and our
blood for this country at the hands of
the zist
Israel and does he stand with Israel or
does he stand with the United States
fighting men that were slaughtered that
day by the Z State covered up sat with
mistaken
identity I Call On You president Trump
to give the USS Liberty the same
courtesy we deserve or any fighting man
that was killed that day but we don't
get it because Israel did it it's fine
as long as Israel did it everybody it's
fine it was a mistaken identity it
wasn't and Admiral Moore he had the
Moore report it's a very very detailed
report he's the longest serving Admiral
in the United States Navy he served as
the European commander and the Pacific
commander and two two times as chairman
of Joint Chiefs and he says I'll never
believe it was a mistaken identity and
he called he called on
Congress uh over and over to have an
investigation Congress says there there
already has been an investigation there
never has been there's been a a board of
inquiry by uh Admiral Isaac kid and his
b or his
underling Jag officer board Boston they
completed that investigation in seven
days should have taken a year they never
even talked to Israel they took Israel's
word instead of
ours so you're watching you're on this
boat you see this torpedo hit that
torpedo instantly kills 25
servicemen um and
you escape fortunately um are able to
escape this what is going on in your
mind because I just I'm thinking of that
moment of Consciousness when you think
you're going to be saved because you see
your friend and your Ally and then
suddenly you realize that your friend
and your ally is actually killing you
and they're in torpedo boats so there's
no way they're they're they know this is
an American ship
right what's going on in your mind and
emotionally in that moment if you could
take yourself back what how that
conscious switch of wait a second this
is not my friend I'm being
betrayed well I think Jesus Christ would
would know a lot about
betrayal and we bet we were
betrayed and
um I think that's one of the reasons I'm
here is because Jesus Christ didn't want
us to die that day he wanted us well I
I'll put it this way God saved us from
God's chosen people it's what he did
exactly what he did
we put over three life rafts that's all
we had left they they shot all of our
life rafts up we put three over they
shot two of them we're going to put our
most seriously wounded in them so they'd
have a chance of Life they shot two out
of the water and took one aboard the RO
boat is a trophy of the kill it's in hia
somewhere wow they took one aboard so
there's absolutely no way they did not
know no that these this was an American
ship they take one on board as a trophy
they're shooting it out you are now
realizing that you cannot help the
wounded Torpedoes are hitting you what
happens
next well when the torpedo hit
um we did what we could do for damage
control and we like I say put over the
life rafts and and they shot him out the
water and they continued and continued
and continued doing
that until finally they just quit and we
thought it we thought it was over but it
wasn't they sent over troop carry
helicopters with Marines in it to board
our ship scut the ship and U and kill us
all I was on the main deck when they
when they were coming over what is your
condition at that moment where like what
were you doing on the main deck I was on
the main deck trying to still get people
off the main
deck and then uh they got there and this
Marine he had his foot on the skid I
thought they were going to come down in
a rope or ladder or
whatever and I I just gave him the
finger and he gave it right back to me
and just
smiled this is an IDF Soldier he smiled
at you
smiling great big smile then they just
they just took off the gig was up I mean
they they they confess well mistaken
identity we thought it was elaz there
was a H A Horse
Transport and uh enemy
ship that's what they said and that was
their excuse and they got by with it
because of a crooked guy then and
now I just can't even imagine this so
you was watching your mates die bleeding
torpedo nap bom and you make eye contact
with this guy thinking he's going to
board the ship you give him the finger
and he gives you the finger back and
smiles at you mhm and then they leave
they leave and um we were left there for
out there for 17 hours for help this is
the part that is so shocking to me
because the president United States
knows that you're under attack the
Secretary of Defense knows that you're
under
attack you know that as you said Captain
uh Sully Scully Tully uh tried twice to
help save you they know you're under
attack and you're telling me that after
they went away 17
hours take me through what you guys did
how many people at that moment were
injured dying
what was happening on that ship for the
next 72 17 hours well 2third of the crew
was either dead or
wounded and uh doc keer we had one one
doc aboard the ship he had been shot in
the ab Adon and uh both of his Le knees
were shot
up and he operated for 17 hours on
people I helped him in one operation a
guy by the name of Gary Blanchard he was
hit he was H
bad and um he says take my socks off my
feet are hot hot hot so I rubbed these
feet try to get some
circulation I went over to the side and
looked at him and he says you think I'm
going to
die I said yeah I think you
are and uh doc cut him
open and he he was
dead so that went on all
night puty few stitches and went throw
him and and put him over the side and
just kept on doing
it what were some of the uh Last
Words cuz I'm sure as you said many
people
died what did they say I mean what were
the conversations that you
recall you know Candace I really didn't
recall a whole lot about that I guess I
just blocked it out um I do know that
the the uh Lieutenant Commander
Armstrong he died in the mess
deex uh he was hit up bad too but I
remember I L he he was a heavy smoker i
l him a couple
cigarettes and then I left and I came
back and he was dead
so the conversation was just helping
people everybody was able-bodied helped
them I was in Walking wounded a lot of
them were walking wounded and all they
all they did was want to help their
fellow
Shipmates bravest crew I've ever seen in
my life I mean we guys come come
together like none none
other we had none to fight back with but
our will and our wits and with with
God's beautiful hand on us in fact when
that ship got torpedoed it was like the
hand of God was holding us up because it
was going like that ready to roll over
it just stopped W unbelievable and
you're just 20 years old that's just
unbelievable yes
and so 17 hours
later 2/3 of the crew is
dead what happens um what ship did you
see first what was going through your
mind well the first first thing we saw
was U several days later when admal kid
got there and he he uh we told him
everything what happened and why didn't
you come help us and U this and that and
he took took off these Stars he says I'm
just like your
dad he had four or five was in sick Bay
at the
time three stars out there he said I'm
just like you Dad please tell me
everything you saw we told him about the
Machining of the life rafts with the uh
machine gun of all the people uh the
helicopters everything went
on and then he put his stars back on he
says he got be red and he got right my
face says I'm telling you you better
never talk about this again to anybody
I'll make sure you end up in prison find
or worse you know what worse means I yes
sir I
do but he did that to everybody in fact
they they split up everybody they they
took him to different bases there was
one fellow his name is Mickey
lame he still got 50 pieces of strap on
him right
now they took him to uh brov in Germany
for Metal Creek he was in a room with a
bunch of other people uh lot of
different beds they took him out of that
bed he got his own room and he was
interrogated by an officer he says your
name is no longer L May it's Smith you
know nothing about the USS Liberty don't
ever talk about
it so you survive living hell you watch
your mates die you wait 17
hours and you're thinking okay at least
now it's over and instead you guys get
reprimanded and you're told essentially
we'll kill you yes it's it's absolutely
in in fact I didn't talk about it until
uh 40 about 42 43 years ago I met my
second wife there was an article in the
paper by a person by the name of um oh
my goodness uh um Stan white he was a a
chief uh Master
Chief and I felt like the whole world
had just come off my shoulders because
he was talking if he was talking I'm I
can I'm going to start talking and I
haven't shut up since wow this is just
unbelievable unbelievable so you're all
ordered uh into silence and how long you
said before you started speaking how
many years was that from see uh well for
see 41 uh 18 years after the fact so you
actually you stayed silent on this and I
I never I didn't even tell my my wife
Lisa that I was uh ever in the military
I even forgot what day had
happened that's how far back I pushed it
and uh like I say when when I read that
article man I was I said now I'm I'm on
it and uh I mean the whole thing is
you when your own government betrays you
and still betrays you and every
Congressman betrays you say what you saw
you really didn't see what you heard you
really didn't heard
here uh that's pretty that's pretty
bad uh they're calling us Liars Nazis
and Jew haters our own
Congress and I'd like to I tell you what
I'd like to call out Charlie Kirk and
Ben Shapiro
with this uh conspiracy theory stuff if
you think it's a conspiracy debate me
live on TV I'd be glad to debate you and
my Shipmates will be there too if you
want them debate us if if you think it's
conspiracy theory or do you have the
courage I don't think you got the
courage I think you're
cowards can I explain the USS Liberty
incident sure the USS Liberty incident
is very frequently used by anti-semites
who suggest that Israel deliberately
targets American ships and then pays no
penalty so both American Naval records
and Israeli Air Force records suggest
that there was a case of mistaken
identity wherein USS Liberty was in the
Mediterranean in a place they were not
supposed to be Israel thought that it
was an Egyptian ship and shot it that's
that's the actual full story now there
are a bunch of conspiracy theories on
actually both sides of this there's a
conspiracy theory on the American side
that suggests that Israel for no reason
that can be discerned decided to shoot
up an American chip to accomplish no one
really can explain what and then on the
other side there is a a theory that I've
not seen a lot of support for that the
USS Liberty was being used as a
transmission vessel to send Israeli
military locations to the Egyptians
during the 67 war and Israel knew that
and shot it again I think the evidence
is lacking on both of those things and
there have been multiple Naval
investigations of the USS Liberty
incident they all come down the same
side which is that this is a mistaken
case of Allied quotequote Friendly

you went out there thinking you might be
out there defending defending the state
of Israel only to recognize that your
country betrayed you um presumably to
Stage a false flag attack um there was a
submarine the Russians were there too if
our ship goes down Israel was going to
get nuked by
Russia and that's a
fact uh it's it's it's it's on uh tape
by the by the people were there there
were also the US
uh Andrew Jackson there and the USS
amberjack our submarines they didn't
come help us I heard they filmed it from
the amberjack they probably got the film
right
now uh there's so many we got a foyer
request right now from a federal judge
in U
Washington that's going to she's going
to decide whether if we can get the
records or not uh in a few
days and this has been gone for two or
three years trying to get well it's it's
been 57 years total but working on it
for the last 41 42 43 years uh
collectively with with the rest of the
crew we've been trying to get this done
and this is the closest we've ever come
to getting something uh you know but
they don't want their records uh out the
the CIA is blocking it right now they
said they they do not want to let that
out it's matter of National Security if
it's so easy to explain how could it be
National
Security if it's so cut and dry that
they thought it was a mistake there's no
mistake and we can prove it how many
survivors are still alive oh I don't
know probably 50 just 50 out of a
294 so it's
uh you know it's it's
a they they just didn't attack our ship
they attacked you you all of you guys
all of America they attacked us it was
an act of war and war crimes and they
don't they didn't want to investigate
it I want to speak a bit about Lynden
Bane Johnson because there is a picture
that seems to be emerging and so I guess
I'll sort of ask questions because
there's other big events from around
that time period that are similarly
classified um in a way that doesn't
really make sense you know Lynden Bane
Johnson the nation did not vote for him
to be president of the United States
obviously yes um JFK was assassinated
and it is a fact that prior to his
assassination uh he was adamant that he
wanted APAC which I think was going by a
different name at that time to register
as a foreign agent and that they had
ignored his demand that they register as
a foreign agent um and then when he was
shot a couple of months later he no
longer had to register they no longer
had to register as a foreign agent is
also a fact that leading up to his death
he was having um fights which they have
not Declassified arguments with uh the
prime minister of Israel at that time uh
benan if again not Declassified any of
those conversations so we don't know
what it was that they were arguing about
but I would imagine Lynden Bane Johnson
would have known that he had this sort
of contentious relationship
uh obviously with them trying to
implement APAC and not wanting it to be
registered as a foreign agent and
obviously him having arguments as a
number two guy you would think that he
would know this and before muamar
Gaddafi the president of Libya was
murdered uh By Us arming insurgents he
gave a speech in front of the UN where
he demanded that they investigate the
killing of JFK and he said everybody
know knows that he was trying to stop
their nuclear
Armament uh he spoke about the nuclear
reactor and he had heavily suggested in
that speech in the UN that that was
another perhaps that could have been the
reason that he was arguing with the
prime minister of course we'll never
know and so it's quite shocking to know
that information to realize that JFK got
killed and to also know that the person
who allegedly shot him uh Le oald Harvey
said he didn't shoot him didn't kill him
and then he was shot by a guy named
Jacob
Rubenstein who marar Gaddafi alleges was
also an Israeli uh National maybe he had
dual citizenship I'm not sure because
again we don't have the files I'm just
speaking about what has been said in the
public
sphere it's kind of shocking that Lyndon
Bane Johnson would be such an ally to
Israel so much so that he would tell
people I don't care if American Sailors
die I'm not going to embarrass Israel
which means he didn't inherit JFK's
frustration with the nation he did not
he
uh if you remember he says uh you had a
friend in uh JFK of Israel but I'm I'm
going to be much a much better friend
you have a better friend than you ever
did you know what actually I don't know
if you had um
read this article this quite this this
really shocked me this was published in
the Jerusalem Post in 2008 the article
is entitled a friend indeed I'll just
read a bit of it a few weeks ago the
Associated Press reported the newly
released tapes from US president Lyndon
Johnson's White House office which
showed lbj's quote personal and often
emotional connection to Israel the news
agency pointed out that during the
Johnson presidency the United States
became Israel's Chief diplomatic Ally
and primary arms supplier but the news
report does little to reveal the full
historical extent of Johnson's actions
on behalf of the Jewish people in the
state of Israel most students of the
Arab Israeli conflict can identify
Johnson as the president during the 1967
war but few know about lbj's actions to
rescue hundreds of endangered Jews
during the Holocaust actions that could
have thrown him out of Congress and into
jail indeed the title of righteous
gentiles is certainly appropriate in the
case of the Texan whose Centennial year
is being commemorated this year and then
goes on and speaks about how he while
serving as a young Congressman arranged
for visas to be supplied to Jews that
were in Warsaw and oversaw the
Apparently illegal immigration of
hundred of Jews through the port of
galston Texas a key resource for
uncovering lbj's pro-jewish activity is
the unpublished 1989 doctoral thesis by
a student named Lewis galok uh a
University of Texas student and he
speaks about lbj's foreign Affair
background in this piece and they were
able to confirm through other historians
and interviews with his wife and family
members and political Associates that
the research was accurate it says quote
Research into Johnson's personal history
indicates that he inherited his concern
for the Jewish people from his family
his aunt Jesse Johnson Hatcher a major
influence on BJ was a member of the
Zionist organization of America
according to galok Aunt Jesse had
nurtured lbj's commitment to befriending
Jews for 50 years as a boy he watched
his politically active grandfather big
Sam and father little Sam seek clemency
for Leo Frank um this says the Jewish
victim of blood liel he's actually uh he
murdered a young Catholic girl uh during
Passover in 19 I believe it was 1913
I'll have to back check that uh but they
present him as a victim uh of a blood
liel Johnson's later told friends that
lynon's family hid in their Cellar while
his father and Uncle stood guard with
shotguns on their porch in the case of
the KKK attacks so they say that he
often cited Leo Frank's lynching as a
sort of his opposition but it's
interesting because people I don't think
knew this that LBJ was Jewish um that
his aunt was involved in the Zionist
organization and also that
uh he pressured the administration
apparently uh to have tighter ties with
APAC so we can probably Trace when we
are speaking about APAC
um the marriage I would say between the
United States government and APAC we can
attribute that to lynon Bane Johnson how
does it make you feel to know that
actually
you know he was in fact more loyal to
Israel well
absolutely much more loyal in fact on
June the 8th when our ship got hit in
his bed was oron agent Matilda
Crim really
really unbelievable true story yeah it
even says that Johnson raised
substantial sum for arms for the Jewish
underground fighters in Palestine he was
doing all of this legally uh he armed
the Jewish underground of quote unquote
Freedom
Fighters and did all of this uh
alongside his closest advisers were
strong pro-israel Advocates Benjamin
Cohen uh who 30 years earlier was the
leasin between the Supreme Court Justice
Lewis brandes and Heim whitesman and Abe
foras the legendary Washington
Insider I I mean that's just how did we
go from a president who wanted to stop
this to to a president that was involved
in the underground and was pushing our
government to get more involved with
Israel it leads I mean certainly I think
it's fair for people to wonder what it
is that is classified and that they're
so afraid to release to the public about
JFK's remarkably suspicious death yes
his death um was not by lone government
in my belief uh in fact I saw
the day that um oswad got killed by
Rubenstein he says I'm nothing but a py
nothing but a py and he was a
Psy so uh there's so much to be said for
that and the USS Liberty is covered up
just as deep and it all goes right back
to
Israel uh is our country really America
first or is it Israel first are we an
occupied Nation I think we're an
occupied Nation
and uh you know look at look at all the
wars
okay uh let's just go back to Iraq war
and Afghanistan war they were fought all
for the greater good of
Israel that's my belief and it's a lot
of other people's beliefs
too they they sacrificed men over war
and it's a war machine you know the uh
like Eisenhower warned of the U uh
military industrial complex
and he was absolutely right I remember
that because I was a kid
then I mean I think it's difficult for
me and why I say that this has been such
a turning point uh it's difficult for me
to take seriously now any of the
politicians who declare themselves to be
America first I mean just to be clear
Congress passed through in the blink of
an eye uh to ensure that people would
learn about October 7th in school oh
absolutely yes and yet I went through
school I graduated college I have two
degrees and I had never learned about
the USS Liberty in its entire context
until I received your letter yep it it
was covered up and uh it's not in the
history books which which it should be
it's a very important part of history
now something very interesting back in
the
80s um I did a u a speaking deal uh with
the old uh spot Light
newspaper and the two older gentlemen
they were entrepreneurs in uh Wisconsin
Grafton uh they read it and they sent me
a letter and said we were going to we're
building a new library and we're going
to we were going to call it the Grove
Library now we want to call it the USS
Liberty Memorial
Library and the whole Milwaukee area
everybody around there the jsh
population says no no no no you cannot
do that because it's it's
anti-semitic to bring up USS Liberty
anti-semitic anti-semitic and the girl
brother said the heck with you guys
they've already putting a million bucks
up and uh they said we'll just take our
money out and then the town said no no
no no we'll name it the USS Liberty
Memorial
Library because they he threaten to take
all the both of them threaten to take
all the money about uh away from it so
and and we had to have get this SWAT
teams on the
roofs the bomb sniffing
dogs because we were all
threatened uh they were going to get us
right there being dedicating the
survivors dedicating that that's when
Pete mclusky former Congressman mclusky
was there and he spoke at their
dedication as did
others W so you you had told me that you
have been threatened by the Mosa
can you tell me more about that yes I
was in California with my wife we were
going out to visit my son he he was
graduating from buds um
seal and uh we were in a
restaurant well we we at the bar getting
a drink Wai to get our table and this
guy come up and got on my right side of
me he said oh you were on the Liberty
hun I said yeah how'd you know that he
said I know a lot' and he had a big
watch and he put it right up front of my
face I said get that out of my face man
what is it a camera or a speaking device
or why was it going to squirt me with
something I don't
know and then he said listen uh I know
everything about you I'm aad
agent and the best thing for you to
do is just shut
up my wife heard that she come over me
and boy she gave him
all I mean whoa I I can't tell you and
then security had to take us up to our
room and make sure everything was okay
and I went down the next morning and the
guy pretext he told everybody he was a a
doctor he'd been there a couple days
before but he was waiting on me and my
wife is what he was doing how he found
out we were there I don't know it could
been they traced us somehow credit card
or who knows that's just incredible it
is they have a remarkable ability
to be on the ground when big events take
place like it was confirmed that the Mad
was on the ground the day that JFK got
shot it has been confirmed that they
were on the ground
recording uh at least according to ABC
News who investigated this the day that
9/11 took place which you could say was
obviously the beginning of us being
involved in these NeverEnding wars in
the Middle East um and
obviously the USS Liberty they got
caught executing uh another false flag
at the exact same time the leavon affair
MH uh which they were going to murder
Americans in order to drag us into war
with Egypt so I don't know if that was
before or after the US Liberty but
there's a lot of I mean you can't say
that Israel is not involved in false
Flags because the leavon affair proves
that they are King David Hotel King
David Hotel uh means exactly proves that
they are you're you survived what you
believe to be a false flag attack and
yet we have people in America who get on
stage and refer to them as our greatest
friend and
Ally I mean how does that make you feel
to just even hear that to hear people
say they're our greatest friend and Ally
and by the way I want to be clear I
count myself among those people for the
first six years of my career I I genu ly
had no
idea most people don't and um they it m
it makes me Furious it really does
they're they're not our best friend
they're not our
Ally uh they got more money when they
murdered my Shipmates and they ever got
in their entire
existence and uh the Israelis said they
paid $6 million they didn't pay $6
million uh to our ship uh our own
government did the ship alone was worth
$40
million and they settled for6 million
the most seriously wounded got some uh
and they very well should have and of
course the the dead most of the crew got
200 bucks and an order to shut up and I
was ordered to sign that where I could
never Sue Israel or the United States
which I you know I I signed it gladly
you signed it order because you were
ordered to sign it which means you could
never pursue Israel or the United States
for what you survived yep Y and that
that was under duress and uh I don't I
don't think it's worth the paper it's
written on I don't think it's worth
anything no of course it's not worth
anything yeah but that's what they did
to us and they continue to do it uh they
can't wait till we're dead you know
we're all dying out we're getting older
I'm 78 and uh I got guys that 85 close
to the 90 you know some of them can't
even get out of their house Much Anymore
where they got disease or whatever you
know um we lost three or four in the
last year cancer and things like that
and
uh but we're not I'm not going to give
up till my die in breath I'm going to be
here uh speaking the truth and we plan
on trying to get together a speaking
tour around the country for survivors to
speak to the public and tell them about
our government and the Israeli
government as far as I'm concerned
Candace they set us up uh Israel were
the Hit
Men now our government paid them to hit
us and then when we didn't
sink they tell us that it was mistaken
identity us the
survivors that they thought we were
somebody
else they shot up two of our flags down
and we put up another one 7 by 13 they
say they didn't see that one either 7 by
13 that's a big flag they call it
holiday
colors and that's what we flew into
Malta a thousand miles away we went from
that torpedo hit 1 th000 miles away with
a 40 footo 40x 40t hole in the ship open
we
s well what I can tell you is that this
has completely changed a lot for me um I
just first and foremost just want to
apologize to you like I'm I'm genuinely
embarrassed at my ignorance and
I it's confounding for me that I thought
that I was on the side of the party of
you know truth and America First and
Patriots and caring about our veterans
and I'm realizing now that so many of
these people are cowards they're cowards
they know the truth they lie to people
as they're coming up in this movement um
and they are completely
occupied uh there are some that are
brave obviously Thomas Massie but I I do
want to offer to that for I promise you
as long as you live I will hold a candle
for the USS Liberty you forever have a
platform if I have a platform you know I
I almost feel ashamed of myself that I
thought to myself this year oh my gosh
I'm getting so attacked by the Zionist
media because I had a heart over the
Palestinian children that were dying and
I realized I had to survive digital
attacks I mean you
survived what you survived is
unbelievable and I first and foremost I
know that you have an organization so I
want to pledge to you that personally my
family will donate $40,000 every year to
your organization and I'm asking if
every single person who is watching this
right now and this will be in the
millions if every single person gives a
dollar just
$1 we can keep their organization going
we can give them what they need to speak
about this and we can show them that
despite the fact that we may all be
existing under a government that is
occupied this is not who we are um As
Americans or people worldwide because we
have an audience all over the world uh
who I think is similarly starting to
wonder how many of our nations are
occupied by lobbying from zionists and
spending money um can you tell my
audience a bit about your organization
yes uh our organization is a veterans
and U like-minded people family members
uh you can go to USS Liberty veterans.
org USS Liberty veterans. org and our
this is a brand new uh site we put up
it's very technical I mean I don't know
a whole lot about it it takes a lot
people a lot smarter than me but they
got people doing it and it's you can
donate there you can go through look at
pictures you can read articles the more
report and um I was just thinking about
uh uh Ward Boston the Jag it was with
Admiral
I should have brought this up earlier
but
uh there was a man named AJ Crystal he
was a bankr bankruptcy judge and he
wrote a book The Liberty EST and he's
he's
Jewish and uh he lied about it and then
Ward
Boston signed a declaration he says we
were ordered by our government to lie we
knew it was
a uh no mistaken identity it was a
deliberate attack to sankin
that ship and he he felt bad about it
you know he says I was a military man
and I followed orders but that brought
him out and he just couldn't do it
anymore and soon after that he died yeah
I can't imagine being ordered yeah to
well absolutely our our our ship is the
most from the Medal of Honor Navy cross
silver stars bronze Stars 208 purple
hearts um Combat Action rivit and the
presidential unic citation nobody knows
about it yeah what do the objects mean
if they keep you a secret and call you
Nazis for trying to speak out it means
nothing none of it means anything if you
don't have a government that truly
honors and respects you yes and if if I
honor old veterans they they go in their
they go into to serve the country in
fact when I put on the uniform the first
time I was the proudest man in the world
to do that to serve my country and to be
abandon
and uh for all these years and abandoned
right now I'm asking you FR out
president Trump don't abandon the crew
of the USS Liberty please I see your
picture there with beautiful candas and
who is that that other man is that
that's my husband oh that's your husband
I'm sorry that's George oh but uh
president Trump please help us don't
don't abandon us this is a act that
should be brought out the truth should
be told sir please help
us I'll tell you I have never ever ever
had an inkling to run for president of
the United States despite people
insisting on it but hearing what
happened to you if I ever do run it will
be to honor you guys in the way that you
should be honored and to give the middle
finger right back I hope you do because
my daughter said that yesterday tell her
I wanted to run for president Candace
for president if I did it it would be to
to honor the memory of the USS Liberty
and I would say it every day when I was
on stage because what happened to you is
Despicable it is abor that we have men
that are raising money pretending to be
America first um that are more concerned
with getting invited to dinners and
fancy dinners uh pedaling lines that
they don't actually mean in their heart
and the worst thing is that they say
that they're the party of God that they
are the party of God and yet they commit
themselves not not to a higher power
they commit themselves to politicians
they commit themselves to lobbyists they
commit themselves to money and to the
people that partook in this lie I hope
and know that all of them are burning in
hell and to every person that's watching
this that is going to continue to lie to
call you conspiracy theorists to call
you a Nazi those people too will either
repent or they will burn in hell I truly
believe that Burell I do too and uh two
weeks ago I was in a church uh a Zionist
church had Israeli flag and American
flag hanging side by side I was asked to
speak there uh Pastor Jason Neely and he
says we we don't condone everything it
is does and the truth has got to be told
and the people in the church were very
receptive and uh a lot of them are you
know
weeping um another good pastor Pastor
Chuck Baldwin out of uh Callis Bell
um
Montana uh he's he's on our side and
he's he doesn't teach he teaches what's
really in the Bible not what they want
you to believe well obviously the
zionists funded the scoffield Bible
abely the scoffield Bible it's a whole
another episode that I've got to get
into to teach people real history um
other than going to your website and
