Freedom of Information act Reveals Truth about U.S.S. Liberty.

In 1963 Lyndon B. Johnson was in his office screaming into the phone "I want that Goddamn Ship sent to the bottom of the ocean!" LBJ was more concerned about not embarrassing our Israeli allies who were accused of allegedly mistaking the Liberty as an enemy ship. Recent proof from the Israeli government has made it crystal clear that the pilots attacking the ship pleaded with their command center who gave them orders to fire on the ship until it sunk.

Several Israeli fighter pilots, questioned the orders of which they were told to obey. The U.S.S. Liberty was fired upon regardless, from attack boats in the water, and repeated air strikes yet miraculously, and largely due to the courage of its crew the ship managed to stay afloat and navigate to safety.

The entire attack, according to official stories was a case of mistaken identity and the Israeli's paid several million dollars to the U.S. for damage to the ship and an equal amount to the 34 victims whose lives were lost.

The controversy has prevailed for years, and even today the few surviving Veterans find it is nearly impossible for them to recall the Liberty incident without having tears of come to their eyes. Many of the Vets are angry that our country betrayed them, some are still grieving the loss of their friends and countrymen but most just want answers.

Unfortunately, the only answers they ever received was by then Secretary Robert McNamara's report calling it an awful accident. Fortunately today, the new Freedom of Information Act revelations have only served to raise more questions on whether or not LBJ committed treason against his own country for purposes of a "False Flag" operation.

Robert McNamara and LBJ are said to have made a pact and swore each other to secrecy to avoid consequence of treasonous circumstances surrounding the U.S.S. Liberty. Some believe that the truth has been taken to their grave. Today survivors can only hope to make due with the small amounts of information that have been leaked over the years.

This day is to commemorate all the lives lost on that attack and remind the general public that our country and its leaders often cannot be trusted.
