Mirror mirror on the wall, what’s the ugliest cover-up of all? Some say the JFK murder cover-up. Others prefer the US government execution of Martin Luther King, Jr. Then there’s Pearl Harbor…and of course 9/11.
But for sheer outrageous hideousness, you can make a case for the cover-ups of (1) the Israeli massacre of unarmed US sailors aboard the USS Liberty on June 8th, 1967; and (2) the Nebraska-based CIA-linked child prostitution ring servicing the top level of the US power elite known as the Franklin scandal.
Is it really possible that Israel could launch a vicious, premeditated attack on a U.S. spy ship, kill 34 sailors and wound 174, and have the whole thing swept under the rug by cover-up commissars threatening the lives and families of the survivors? Is it conceivable that some of the most horrendous child abuse ever reported anywhere, on a truly massive scale, could be covered up by elite CIA-linked criminals, pedophiles and stooges…because the CIA is in the business of inflicting sexual tortures on innocent children?
Is the US Israel’s slave state? Are we governed by monsters?
Unfortunately, the answer to the above questions appears to be “yes.”

First hour guests: USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney and Mark Glenn, authors of What I Saw That Day: Israel’s June 8th, 1967 Holocaust of American Servicemen Aboard the USS Liberty and its Aftermath.
Second hour guest: Nick Bryant, author, The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. Bryant’s book is the exhaustively-documented, definitive version of the story John DeCamp told in The Franklin Coverup — the story also told in the “disappeared” video Conspiracy of Silence. It is, as he puts it, “the ultimate American nightmare.” It’s time to re-open this case and put the monsters out of business.
Hello,
I'd like to thank you for continuing to work for the (seemingly endless) need to tell the Truth.
But I'd like to encourage you to reconsider taking approaches that glorify the USS Liberty or its cause. There's nothing to gain from promoting this angle, and a whole lot to loose.
Israeli Zionism and US Imperialism are two versions of the same kind of racism, the same kind of interventionist, totalitarian genocidal extermination-oriented powers. They are extensions of each other.
So what if they had a fight in 1967 over who will dominate that section of the Mediterranean? Both of them are unwanted in the Middle East! Both of them are hell-bent on the extermination of the native people of the Middle East.
It is a mistake to embrace the cause of promoting the USS Liberty campaign, thinking that it enhances the liberation of Palestine, or Gaza, or the "liberation" of the US from Israel.
US military ships have NO PLACE in the Mediterranean. All of our peoples in the area hate them and want them to leave.
The USS Liberty campaign is an American right-wing cause, embraced by neonazis and christian white supremacists, and by right-wing militia all over the US. Please do not align yourselves with them!
Do you think any Palestinian or any other Middle Eastern native would applaud the presence of the USS Liberty in our waters? We all say "let the US and Israel kill each other".
We should definitely work and struggle to disentangle the perverse relationship between the ruling classes of Israel and the US. There's no doubt they are in bed together in a most pernicious way, both helping each other out in a decades-long orgy of feeding on blood. Their financial, military and political alliance ought to be exposed and destroyed.
And in order to do that, the particularity of their relationship ought to be examined and understood better.
But to slip into promoting the idea that the US is somehow "occupied" or "enslaved" by Israel is totally misleading and will disorient our forces' abilities to destroy them. Instead of attacking Imperialism, our
people (especially in the US) are easily diverted into supporting the US Empire in order to "liberate" it from Israel – a sad approach that is already costing deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. Now. Today.
Please reconsider your promotion of the USS Liberty cause – yes we must expose their "special relationship"; no we must not support the US Empire in any way; and yes, we must destroy the Apartheid regime of Israel and help the people of the land erect an open, free, democratic country based on equality and justice.

Petros, I respect your work, but I think you're being misled on this issue. You write: "The USS Liberty campaign is an American right-wing cause, embraced by neonazis and christian white supremacists, and by right-wing militia all over the US. Please do not align yourselves with them!"
This is a totally false and slanderous statement about the U.S.S. Liberty campaign AND the patriot movement. While there may be a few bigots and wackos in these movements (see http://truthjihad.blogspot.com/2010/06/confessions-of-crypto-jew.html ) in fact the patriot movement is both more radical and potentially far more effective as an anti-imperialist, pro-peace force than the left-wing peace movement.
The patriot movement (and I daresay most of the USS Liberty movement) supports Ron Paul's call to "bring ALL American troops home and close ALL U.S. overseas bases." In other words, END THE EMPIRE. Completely. NOW. Please show me one popular left-wing American politician, or even one major mainstream peace movement leader, who genuinely opposes the US empire and plans to end it as soon as possible.
Everyone who wants to end the US empire (which IS largely run by the Israeli lobby and the financier moguls associated with it) should be giving money and support to Ron Paul and the patriot movement. Ron Paul could win the Republican nomination, and the presidency, if he got the entire pro-peace vote from across the political spectrum. The propaganda BS you're repeating is designed by our Zionist-imperial overlords to prevent this from happening.
Much of the left-wing peace movement actually supports US empire, wants to "liberate" Afghan women from their husbands and families, supports nation-building (i.e. imperial intervention and occupation) and so on. The left will never end the empire. Just as it took Nixon to go to China, it will take a conservative like Ron Paul or Pat Buchanan to end the empire. And one of the motivations for doing so is honest nationalism: We Americans want our country and our Constitution back from the Zionist/military-industrial-complex war criminal thugs who overthrew it decades ago.
The USS Liberty is an important issue as it provides a good example of the manner in which Israel is unaccountable for it's actions, even when engaging in a completely unprovoked attack on the US military.
What other nation in the world could get away with that?
