have a treaty with Egypt because they used to have the mandate over Egypt just like they had the mandate over Palestine. So if this ship if the NSA finds out that Israel is about to attack, then GCHQ knows, and GCHQ has to call Egypt. So the Israelis say, we gotta sink the USS Liberty. So they attack our enemy I'm sorry. Our ally attacks us and makes us into an enemy. Israel attacks USS Liberty. Thirty four crewmen dead. 

Israeli records obtained by Al Jazeera show that their reconnaissance plane reported the Liberty as an American spy ship, hull number g t r five. Well, I was on the bridge. I'm John Scott. I was the damage control officer. I circled the ship kind of in a broad circle and headed back towards Israel. Israeli planes then continued to fly over the Liberty all morning. And they would do half moon passes over us, and we saw that they were Israeli. They were slowly lumbering over our ship, and we were waving at them. They were waving at us. They were sophisticated, almost as sophisticated as we were as far as surveillance and and technology. They had everything.

We had four fifty caliber machine guns on board that were basically there to repel any borders that might come by, you know, a pirate situation. Certainly weren't designed to bring down, jet aircraft that were hammering at us. But you can't shoot a jet going six hundred miles an hour with a fifty caliber machine gun. It doesn't work. It was just a surreal scene. People who had been standing there earlier joking and laughing were now dead, dying, and with the walking dead and wounded. It was just unreal. 

without the US s liberty being attacked successfully by our good time ally Israel, you'd have no Gaza situation today. You'd have no West Bank settlers today because those lands were acquired in the nineteen sixty seven six day war. I also wanted to fill in the blanks because you might be saying, you know, how could the United States government be, you know, succumbing to a smaller nation state that's supposed to be our enemy? I offer you these two exhibits of evidence by Whitney Webb. One Nation Under Black Male volume one, the sordid
