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.

Blackwater Corp. Mercinaries in "Hot Water."

The news has been very critical of Blackwater in the last several weeks. The accusations are that Blackwater has used lethal force against citizens of Iraq for no justified reason and engaged in illegal arms trading. This article today is going to look into the Blackwater criticism and hopefully give today's readers a better understanding of how this private security force conducts its operations.

First let's define Blackwater, (this information comes from http://www.blackwaterusa.com/) Blackwater is a private corporation currently working under the U.S. Government, they provide assistance in the form of Aviation, Maritime, K9 Attack dogs, an Airborne style military, and security services. While it is difficult to assess the the total paramilitary employees this company has, estimates are 1000 multinational paramilitary soldiers in Iraq, and as high as 40,000 internationally. These personnel have come under fire for many reasons and the public has become increasingly sceptical of their involvement in the global war theater.

Abc News recently has reported accusations that Blackwater has been smuggling weapons into Iraq, weapons that have landed in the hands of Militants who are intent at using them to kill American soldiers. (See the ABC News archive at http://abcnews.go.com/search?searchtext=blackwater&type=


Currently I have been actively investigating the scope of purpose of Blackwater, and I have heard a variety of reasons as to why they are benefiting the U.S. I still am not entirely certain on their usefulness. Hopefully the above captioned video helps get a novice started on understanding this company and the accusations against them. I believe that Blackwater may even be a CIA front company.
