Ron Kukal spoke recently here and it is a fantastic message.

Also the book I read on this was by the Liberty Survivors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHjFrXqAQUo

"After being hit by an Israeli torpedo, the LIBERTY refused to sink. The ship was repeatedly attacked by the Israeli Air Force using French Mirage jets to conceal the attacker's true identity. Had the ship gone down as intended, Israel could have claimed that an Arab country had sunk the LIBERTY and brought America into its war of aggression. Plus, by sinking the LIBERTY, the Israelis were attempting to hide their plans for the invasion of Syria. But by a miracle of God, the USS Liberty stayed afloat."

As I began to understand the true story and how it has been hidden I started to ask friends young and old to tell me what they knew of the US Liberty...blank stares no one I asked had heard of it.

Let me offer another theory. The USS Liberty was a signal intelligence vessel. It had the latest equipment for intercepting and deciphering all sorts of electric communications. The Six Day War began on June 5, 1967. The USS Liberty was attacked late afternoon on June 8th.

By June 8th the Israeli's had achieved full air superiority and were in process of routing the Egyptian and Syrian ground forces. The IDF knew that the Liberty was intercepting their signals and those from the Arab states.

I believe that the Liberty was attacked because by the 5th the military objectives had turned into political objectives, and that meant territory. Israeli wars have always been over expanding territory. I believe they didn't want the Americans to intervene and possibly call a halt their advances before all their territorial objectives were achieved.

By the sixth day they controlled the Sinai, the Golan heights, Jerusalem and all the West Bank. All of what some zionist call "Greater Israel."

Whether the Johnson White House would have called for a pullback is not known. What we do know is that Johnson ordered the cover up. We don't know why.

And it wasn't until 1973 and the Yom Kipper war with Egypt that a military stalemate resulted in a peace treaty with Egypt and a return of the Sinai.

The Golan and the West Bank were never returned and have effectively been annexed by Israel.

Did the Israeli's know that their crime would be covered up? Did they have some bargaining chip with the Johnson administration that we don't know about?

I don't know. But the cover up was real and to date has never been fully explained.
