The Liberty Affair and the Problem with the Truth of History
For those who might wish to have a much deeper understanding of the difference between Zionism and Judaism, I recommend a recently published book A Threat From Within, A CENTURY OF JEWISH OPPOSITION TO ZIONISM. Its author is a Canadian Jew, Yakov Rabkin, who is Professor of History at the University of Montreal… When Yakov was here in London, I asked him a very explicit question: “Is it reasonable to say that the Jews of the world now have a choice to make – either to reaffirm their commitment to Judaism and renounce Zionism, or to reaffirm, or affirm, their commitment to Zionism and renounce Judaism?” He replied with one word, “YES!”
I have no doubt that editors and other media managers (and publishers and politicians) who are complicit in the suppression of the truth of history honestly believe that they are serving the best interests of the Jews (as well as their own short-term vested interests). But to them all I say, as I’ve said in the Preface to Volume Two ofZionism, The Real Enemy of the Jews:
You are wrong. Dangerously wrong. By refusing to come to grips with the truth of history and, in particular, the difference between Zionism and Judaism and why it is perfectly possible to be passionately anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic, you are helping to set up all Jews to be blamed for the crimes of the relative few.

In 1962 and 1963 I served in an unarmed, in commision, US Navy ship, USS Tanner AGS 15. Is there any question if President John Fitzgerald Kennedy would have sanctioned a cover up if we had been attacked and or boarded by Soviet or Cuban forces? I believe the Lyndon Johnson coverup of USS Liberty. I believe his administration deliberatly exploited a Tonkin Gulf sonarman’s erroneous “torpedo” evaluation of a motor craft sound to expand the Vietnam War. I also served in-country Vietnam from 1 July 1966 to 11:45 PM Saigon local time 30 June 1967.

Thank you for getting this truth out. I had previously learned this from Mike Rivero at whatreallyhappened.com and Jeff Rense at rense.com. You have confirmed this. I believe the Zionists were the prime movers behind 9-11.
People must understand that being anti-zionist does, in no way mean one is anti-semetic!

I have perhaps 6 0r 7 books on the Attack on the USS Liberty. Most are out of print. There are also some extraordinary first person survivor accounts online if one searches for them. The reason I collected these books was not out of curiosity, but in an attempt to find out what really happened that day.
I hope some day to write a screenplay about the attack, for that is the ONLY way I believe the story could be told. It is a dramatic story with heroism, intrigue, action, and duplicity. It involves political maneuvering at the highest levels of major nations and most of all, unlike a John Grisham or James Patterson novel, it is true.
Who would produce it? There’s the rub. Perhaps the French? But, trust me, this would make a great movie!
Thanks for your article & insights.

We have known about this for a decades, but it seems to get pushed under the rug each time it is brought up. Are we just brushing off the deaths and wounds of our men on the Liberty? Who keeps the information locked up, and should that group face punitive action????????

Discovering the USS Liberty story by accident ten years ago changed my views dramatically from a supporter of Israel to a confirmed enemy of zionism. However the greatest shock was how could the US sacrifice its own men for the sake of a violent racist group. Was the US government so controlled by home grown zionists that the Liberty was deliberately targeted to sink with all souls. Was it intended to blame the Arabs so that the American people would demand retaliation , assisting Israel in invading even greater areas of the ME.False flag operations are an Israeli speciality. It makes me wonder if that is behind 9/11 and the current invasions. I distrust all western governments but condemn zionism. I fully agree that zionism is Judaisms greatest threat.

Thanks for the truth. I have tried to share the truth about the Liberty in my online book, SOME UNKNOWN HISTORY OF THE U.S.
I just learned some history of the NSA a couple days ago via the this news article: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/23231
I am not sure which Isreali war they are talking about here.
NSA warned that Egypt and Syria were planning “a major offensive” against Israel. But, an official NSA history states that the CIA refused to believe that an attack was imminent “because [they thought] the Arabs wouldn’t be ‘stupid enough’ to attack Israel.” They did.
Also this Dr. Johnson an NSA historian is still putting out lies about the Liberty.
” Dr. Johnson concludes that based on the available SIGINT that the Israelis did not know that the ship they were attacking was a U.S. Navy ship.”
forthcoming book: The Secret Sentry: The Top Secret History of the National Security Agency Matthew Aid
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB260/index.htm
In response to a declassification request by the National Security Archive, the secretive National Security Agency has declassified large portions of a four-part “top-secret Umbra” study, American Cryptology during the Cold War. Despite major redactions, this history discloses much new information about the agency’s history and the role of SIGINT and communications intelligence (COMINT) during the Cold War. Researched and written by NSA historian Thomas Johnson, the three parts released so far provide a frank assessment of the history of the Agency and its forerunners, warts-and-all.
Check out my online book, a work in progress. I need an editor and/or co-author. I put it on line because I think people need to read the truth now.

History in this era has nothing to do with Truth. Truth has been sadly lacking for decades when it comes to western governments, especially the United States, Israel, and those governments that parrot the United States neocon religious fascist ideas and ways.
I am a retired Navy Chief, and served in the US Navy from early 1955 until 1978 and in the Fleet Reserve until 1984. I held a Top Secret Crypto Clearance and saw the traffic on the killing of my shipmates, and the all out attempt to sink the USS Liberty and to kill her entire crew. This was murder pure and simple. The Israeli pilots knew that they were attacking an United States Vessel and reported such and were ordered to continue their attacks along with the attacks by Torpedo Boats and the machine gunning of life rafts and unarmed sailors on deck.
I have despised everything that Israel stands for since 1967, but could not provide any reasons for my stand until now.
I am now a French National, and could care less about what happens in the USA other than the fact if it falls, I would probably lose my retirement pay. I have no desire of ever returning to the country of my birth. And I hold Zionists in the same contempt that I hold the “Merc’s” such as Blackwater and the others who profit off the killing and wounding of innocents. I feel that Israel has become a Fascist State along with the United States and I refuse to back down from Fascists no matter what Flag they fly.
In America today, you have a small group of Right Wing Religious Fundies along with the very rich who feel that if they can keep the average citizen in ignorance and fear, they can control the government and keep themselves in power.
No Thanks, I am honored to be French! I may be old, but I am NOT stupid, and I still have my freedom and honor.

Hmmm
Another aspect of this attack on the Libberty that hasn’t been mentioned involves war crimes. Firing on unarmed sailors in the water and in life boats is a war crime under international law.
Israel is still persuing Nazi “war criminals” from the 1940′s and prosecuting them. So I believe we should hunt down the individuals flying those planes and manning those guns on those boats and put them on trail. And when convicted; put them to death as befits the crimes they committed.

Mr. Hart is quite right about Zionist settlers not having any connection with Palestine. The Ashkenazi “Jews” are a Turkic people whose origins have been traced to the Caucasus region. For more, including some very interesting links, please visit http://www.show-the-house.com/id55.html.
Also, the motive for the attack on the USS Liberty has direct relevance to the stalled “peace process”; the truth of the matter is stranger than fiction. Please see http://www.show-the-house.com/id5.html.

I remember briefly reading about the incident then, but the complete truth was never mentioned in the fawning corporate media. To have successfully suppressed such a major debacle and infamy, testifies to the power of the special interest group, whose pursuits are contrary to our own values and interests as a nation.
Thank you for putting out the truth and Omnia Veritas Vincit.

Great read Mr.Hart! Thank you!! I have read about the Liberty Affair from another site that I will share with you–Very informative also.
You have probably heard about this site no doubt!?

I’m glad there are people out there that still want to hear the ‘truth’ and maybe ‘right a wrong’?
Thank you and ‘Best of Luck’ in your endeavors.

In 1963 I was a 17 year old eager to wear the uniform of the US Marines. In Viet-Nam I took pictures of napalm, willie peter, (White Phosphorous) not knowing that we were not using either in country at that time. I enjoyed my time in service and made many friends whom I will always see as friends but I resent being used in the manner we all were, as tools. Tools to further enrich and attempt to dominate any and all people of color throughout the world. I served I’m sure , with people who were guilty of crimes against people but the true criminals are those who sent us there and award us medals for commiting atrocities against another human being. My pride has taken a hit knowing I was instrumental in devastating a country that had no ill will toward me, my family, or this country.
