There are two explanations for the attack. As Washington has blocked every attempt at an investigation, we do not know which one is correct. Perhaps both are the reasons for the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n One is that Israel, which was committing a war crime by mass execution of Egyptian prisoners of war, was fearful that the USS Liberty\u2019s surveillance had discovered the crime. The other is that Israel fearing an unfavorable outcome of the war that Israel had initiated intended to blame the attack on the USS Liberty on Egypt, thus bringing the US into the war on Israel\u2019s side.<\/span><\/p>\n I have written about this attack a number of times, having interviewed sailors and officers on board during the attack, an officer, Captain Ward Boston, who was ordered to produce a cover-up, and Admiral Tom Moorer, former Chief of Naval Operations and Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. Frustrated at Washington\u2019s coverup, indeed, Washington\u2019s complicity in the crime, upon retirement Admiral Moorer convened the Moorer Commission to set the record straight.<\/span><\/p>\n The Moorer Commission concluded:<\/span><\/p>\n Damaged USS Liberty in port<\/p><\/div>\n \u201cThat there is compelling evidence that Israel\u2019s attack was a deliberate attempt to destroy an American ship and kill her entire crew.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat fearing conflict with Israel, the White House deliberately prevented the US Navy from coming to the defense of USS Liberty by recalling Sixth Fleet military rescue support while the ship was under attack.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat surviving crew members were threatened with \u2018court-martial, imprisonment or worse\u2019 if they exposed the truth; and [the survivors] were abandoned by their own government.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat there has been an official cover-up without precedent in American naval history.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat a danger to our national security exists whenever our elected officials are willing to subordinate American interests to those of any foreign nation.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n You can find my articles on my website or online as well as the proceedings of the Moorer Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n The most disturbing thing about the Israeli attack is that when the Liberty\u2019s distress signal reached the fleet commander and US Navy fighters were launched to drive off the Israeli attackers, the White House ordered the fleet commander to recall the American jets. Frustrated by his inability to defend the US Navy from murderous assault, the fleet commander used open radio to scare off the Israelis by announcing that US fighters were on their way to the Liberty\u2019s rescue. This caused the Israelis to immediately call off the attack and to issue an apology that it had mistaken the USS Liberty, which was flying a massive American flag and had USS Liberty in tall letters, as an Egyptian ship.<\/span><\/p>\n On orders from the White House, Admiral McCain, Senator McCain\u2019s father, ordered a cover-up. The Liberty\u2019s crew were ordered not to mention the event. It was two decades before one of the Liberty\u2019s officers, then retired, wrote the story. American taxpayers, who were shelling out billions of dollars from their desperate needs every year to enable Israel to purchase the US government with the billions of dollars hapless Americans are forced to hand over to Israel, knew nothing about the attack for 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n If 51 years ago Israel had such power over the US government that the White House itself refused to protect an American ship from Israeli attack and then covered up the attack in order to give Israel a free pass, just imagine how much more control Israel has achieved over the US government in the past half-century. If you have any doubt that Israel rules America, just look at Nikki Haley\u2019s subservience to Israel in the UN as US ambassador, or at President Trump himself defying the entire world and moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. Just look at Trump, on Israel\u2019s orders, unilaterally disregarding the Iranian nuclear agreement signed by President Obama and upheld by all other signatories, in the hopes of creating a pretext for an American attack on Iran that serves only Israel\u2019s interest. Just look at the extraordinary groveling at Israel\u2019s feet of the entire US Senate and House of Representatives who unanimously pass Israel Lobby sponsored laws and resolutions. Just look at the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, National Public Radio, MSNBC, and so on who serve as megaphones for the voice of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n Every American, especially those superpatriots who wrap themselves in the flag, should be totally ashamed that their government is nothing but an adjunct of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n The BBC\u2019s investigative report on Israel\u2019s attack on America: http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/article5073.htm <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n![\"Damaged](\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Damaged-USS-Liberty.jpg\")
