Stone understands the real lesson: governments lie when truth threatens power. LBJ and McNamara were already drowning America in Vietnam, body counts, managed narratives, and bureaucratic bloodlessness. The USS Liberty fit the same pattern—dead Americans, unanswered questions, hurried conclusions, and survivors treated like nuisances because their testimony complicated official policy. That is intolerable. Allies do not get immunity from scrutiny, and American sailors do not become expendable footnotes because diplomats prefer silence. Release the records. Hear the survivors. Open the files. If the official story is true, sunlight will confirm it. If not, the cover-up is the confession.
I'm not surprised about the complete U.S. govt. whitewash of the U.S.S. Liberty incident. The U.S. govt. with CIA help, pulled off the greatest coup ever: the JFK assassination and its aftermath three and a years earlier. Our govt. is adept at such disgusting practices.
Another spot on historical memory from my favorite history, professor, Roger Stone. Luthman chooses yet another apropos reminder of where we came from and where we’re heading through Stone’s storytelling.
For many Americans, the USS Liberty controversy remains a lasting reminder that governments sometimes move quickly to close uncomfortable chapters before every question is answered. Survivors and critics have spent decades arguing that the full truth was never adequately examined. That skepticism echoes in today’s political climate, where many Trump supporters view the prosecutions and investigations of President Trump during the Biden era as examples of political weaponization rather than impartial justice. Whether discussing 1967 or modern Washington, the common thread is public distrust of official narratives. History teaches that transparency, accountability, and relentless scrutiny of power are essential to preserving confidence in American institutions.
Roger, I am getting a bad feeling about the secret (not so secret) data center under the proposed ballroom at the WH. Israel? Sure feels like it, especially with NDAA Section 224. How long before full-scale surveillance on Americans, especially anyone anti-Zion or anti-Bibi? How long before Candace Owens feels the full wrath of Bibi's anger? Candace delivered an amazing podcast tonight (I refused to watch the previous 2, which were interviews with people who have nothing to say that I want to hear). She really lowered the boom on Zionist lies about Russia.
This is such a crock of crap. Stone is obviously purposely avoiding calling Israel to account.
There are many former servicemen from the Liberty who have spoken out, done interviews, and written books providing evidence that Israel knowingly conducted this attack on an American ship. This was a U.S. Navy signals intelligence ship, under the National Security Agency (NSA), monitoring Morse code communications and every language spoken in the region. Even Russian voice intercept processing specialists were on the Liberty, since Soviets were in the area.
Communication intercepts proved that Israel was fully aware the USS Liberty was American; and, even an Israeli pilot, who was jailed when he refused to fire on the Liberty because he saw the ship was American, later confirmed that to a Lt. James Ennes, who was officer of the deck the morning of the attack and later wrote the book, "Assault on the Liberty: The True Story of the Israeli Attack on an American Intelligence Ship", still available on Amazon.

We believe Massie will try to use this ploy as another opportunity to attack Israel, again (sigh)

Crap. Johnson stopped Israel from going on to Cairo and Damascus based upon the Liberty's communications interceptions.

There's an excellent video interview of Lt. Ennes titled, "Israel's Assault on the USS Liberty with James Ennes" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99ylJ0eBTYs
There are reports that Israeli General Moshe Dayan ordered the complete destruction of the Liberty and the killing of everyone on board. A lengthy and interesting article to this effect is, "Israel’s Attack on USS Liberty – The Full Story" at https://veteranstoday.com/2021/05/04/israels-attack-on-uss-liberty-the-full-story/
