The Costs of Suppressing the Truth About the USS Liberty Atack

Opinion

George W.  Ball  (1909-1994), American diplomat and former Under Secretary of State under the Kennedy and Johnson Administration wrote:

“Israel’s leaders  concluded that nothing they might do would offend the Americans  to the point of reprisal, If America’s leaders did not have the courage to punish Israel for the blatant murder of American citizens, it seemed clear that their American friends would let them get away with almost anything.”

Let’s get this straight and out in the open. there is nothing at all “dual” about their loyalty. You cannot serve two flags or two countries.  The deliberate attack of USS Liberty and continuing cover up is simple proof.

Perpetual aid and automatic assistance in the billions annually to a top tier world economy without question. In regards to Israel,  “No” does not exist. The US suffered oil embargoes and recession in 1973, the US looks the other way at Israel’s nuclear weapons that both US and Israel’s governments still pretend don’t exist to avoid mandated legal sanctions.  Israeli spying on the US with virtual impunity from Pollard, Ben-Ami to the “dismissed” AIPAC spy case and the retraction of sentence for Larry Franklin (you can’t dismiss the AIPAC spies if the convicted US spy was sentenced to prison…too obvious).  Israel junkets for Congress to get their “standing orders” or “hookers, liquor or blow”,  the refusal of Congress to even allow AIPAC to be regulated under US law as a “foreign lobby”.   The Israel bonds purchased, guaranteed and then forgiven. The special considerations, exclusive benefits , tax deductions on US taxes to a foreign country (unique in all of  the US),  the military sales (purchased by US taxpayers) for the military industrial complex carte blanche and a list of all benefits and the unholy costs  if ever really accounted would be in the hundreds and hundreds of billions.  That’s fine by the US government. They are there to serve, the question remains is ‘who?’.

Look at the Israel First Senators and Congresspeople who come and carry Israel’s water automatically like pledging allegiance to the flag from the late Tom Lantos, (D-Israel) to Israel’s current spokesperson Charles Schumer and Joe Lerberman, (D-Israel), etc. The “dual” loyalty of  A. Jay Cristol,  Michael Oren, Hank Roth, etc. to the neocons Bill Kristol, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, etc. etc. etc. This idea that what is good for Israel will be good for the US is nonsense.

The automatic AIPAC,  J-Street, et al ‘mandated’ fealty given to Israel cannot even be discussed or questioned.  Anti-commie Nixon could go to China but no one dare question US  costs about and for Israel.   Everybody knows it, no one will discuss it and the the USS liberty survivors have born the brunt and all the costs of their “dual loyalty” just for being “Americans”. We still don’t know the how and whys of June 8, 1967.

Israel never paid reparations or even the true costs of the damages on the USS Liberty…the US taxpayers have paid Israel a thousand fold.  Enough with all the canards and Israel apologized only because the USS Liberty stayed afloat and they failed. There is no such thing as a ‘accident” that has coordinated multiple air and sea attack with radio coordination/contact from Israel from that lasts an hour nor hat jams US Naval radio frequencies. It was not a “Ooops!” moment.  The Liberty apologists ignore this like the plague.

For 42 years, the US services Israel at the cost of honor, truth and justice. What a price to pay to a country that essentially is ungrateful, unapologetic, exorbitantly costly in a thousand ways and with damn few benefits for ‘sacrosanct’ Altar of the US-Israel ‘special relationship’.  Nor will the US government answer the questions of the USS Liberty survivors.  It can’t because they are knee deep in a cover up and politics that controls them. You can see their fear when the USS Liberty is mentioned.  Not that the media ever ask  either.

Its a government of dishonorable cowards and AIPAC recipients subservient at all times to Israel’s wishes.     After all does anyone really think Jonathan Pollard will actually serve a life sentence?   The US it seems to exist to cater to Israel’s designs no matter what the cost. The USS Liberty and the continuing cover up demonstrates  that.   Someone prove me wrong.  Just once.

Never asked ‘Why?”,  never discusses it nor will/did the corporate media except a few brave souls who automatically become “anti-Semites”, “haters” or “self hating”.

It was institutionalized in Washington DC on June 8, 1967 when the US government sold the USS Liberty and the truth down the river for Israel. FACT. Let’s admit that at a minimum or just keep pissing on their graves of the dead.

“Accident” my ass,  some have called it pragmatism disguised as treason or expeditionary.  It’s not that far off the mark. It wasn’t worth it then and lies and cover ups are just that.

Remember the USS Liberty.
