USS Liberty/San Diego Union Tribune Article on Captain Ward Boston

We have heard much about the treacherous Israeli attack during the six day war
on the U.S.S. Liberty, and the inflicted causalities. Since that was in 1967,
nothing was done then, and nothing will ever be done to expose the infamy of
that attack, and seek compensation.
The U.S. has continued over the years to give israel many billions of dollars
in aid, and forgive billions more in debt, and arm them with everything in our
vast military arsenal.
Lets be realistic the Hebrew controls the U.S. and no politician has the guts
to stand up to the dangerous crowd that take their orders from Israel.
Every Hebrew can immediately be a citizen of Israel, and they all know that.
The Israeli law enhances loyalty, and in fact a number of Jews in very high
places actually have dual citizenship. At this point in time the concern of our
citizens should be the deaths, and maiming of American service people, and
innocent persons in foreign countries including the many children in both Iraq
and Afghanistan that have suffered.
Of course many Americans were rightfully angry about 9-11, but anyone with an
ounce of brains knows that it happened because of American support of Israel
and a lopsided foreign policy. Many people think the incursion into Iraq, and
Afghanistan was for oil but they are mistaken for it was done to accommodate
Israel, and eliminate Israel's enemies. Oil was a secondary consideration. Thus
far there have been several thousand U.S. casualties and it would not be
inappropriate to say they died, and were wounded for the benefit of Israel.
The U.S. is Israel's means of subduing the world, and establishing a World
Government with orders emanating from Israel through their puppets in the U.S.

The thought that should be on many peoples mind is will there ultimately be a
nuclear war because of the U.S. behaving like a rogue state in the interest of
Israel.
Should a new World War break out millions of casualties will result because
non Jews have acted at the behest of the Jews.
These parasites truly believe they are a chosen people, and entitled to a
land that is not theirs. If the truth was known the Palestinians are probably
more related to Biblical Jews than those from Russia, Brooklyn, and elsewhere.
Personally I think it's wrong to hate people because of their race, but firmly
believe that the Hebrews should not impinge on the security of our nation, and
folk in their strange beliefs that they are a race entitled to a small piece of
semi desert land in the middle east.
Most intelligent people know of the Jewish hand in pushing the middle east
war, and drive to dominate every aspect of our nations sources of political
power.
There are no Jews in China, and therein lies the danger to the Jews as well as
western man because to dominate the planet and destroy potential enemies they
must eliminate the political structure of China, and fragment countries in
furtherance of control and that includes Russia, as well as India.
All non Jews should be of grave concern because the grave is where many will
prematurely go and the markers should read that their demise occurred because
of Israel.
Then who will be left of our race to shed the rivers of tears ?

Ward Boston is right about Liberty attack

Regarding "Ex-officer alleges cover-up in probe of spy ship attack,"
News, Feb. 17:

You can call it an "allegation" if you want, but it certainly happened exactly
as retired Navy Capt. Ward Boston said it did.I can assure you that Israel not
only attacked the U.S. Naval Security Group ship and killed American sailors,
but attacked again and again and again in a failed effort to sink the vessel,
which was clearly flying the American flag. Why? To cover up an ongoing
massacre of Egyptian soldiers upon which the ship was eavesdropping.It was a
futile effort and useless slaughter of American lives on the Israelis' part
because everything was also being recorded by a U.S. Air Force spy plane flying
above. Commander William L. McGonagle, the ship's captain, was later awarded
the Medal of Honor, the only recipient in history to receive it in a private,
secret ceremony.To play the apologist and claim that it was a "mistake," as
Judge Jay Cristol does in "The Liberty Incident," is a disgrace to the memory
of the many American sailors who died that day. As usual, given enough time,
the truth will normally out.

Astonishing how a man squatting in a cave in the mountains of
Afghanistan could so flawlessly perpetrate the immensely sophisticated
9-11 attack. Even more remarkable is the huge booty realized from
highly sophisticated worldwide derivatives transactions and this
ingenious fellow's ability to cover the financial paper-trail.
Haven't heard much about that recently, have we? The same lot of
traitors will keep the lid on that one for 30 years, no doubt.

SURVIVORS PROTEST COVER-UP

Angry exchange at USS Liberty session




Tempers flare over US spy-ship inquiry

By GUY DINMORE

The Financial Times, London Sunday, January 12, 2004

WASHINGTON**Survivors of one of the most hotly disputed
incidents in American military history**the Israeli attack on the
USS Liberty spy-ship in 1967**on Monday accused the U.S.
authorities, past and present, of a cover-up in backing Israeli
claims that it was a tragic mistake.

Emotions boiled over in the basement of the State Department
as the Office of the Historian opened a public conference on the
six-day Arab-Israeli war with heated debate over newly released
intercepts from the archives of the secretive National Security
Agency.

Most of the basic facts are undisputed. On June 8 1967, Israeli
aircraft and later torpedo boats struck the Liberty just off the
Mediterranean coast, killing 34 crew and wounding 172. The ship,
one of the world's most sophisticated listening vessels but only
lightly armed, limped into port.

From there the controversy begins. An immediate U.S. Navy court
of inquiry backed the Israeli claim that it had been mistaken for
an Egyptian warship. The U.S. accepted $12m in compensation.

While some historians have accepted this, survivors and a varied
group of academics and former military officials insist the attack
was deliberate.

"You're trying to whitewash it," one survivor shouted from the
audience as Marc Susser, the State Department's historian,
acted as moderator and sought to keep order, refusing to allow
speeches from the floor. Even debate on the panel of invited
historians descended into acrimony with one contributor
accused of being an Israeli agent.

Two recent developments added fuel to the controversy.

Last week Ward Boston, a naval captain who acted as senior
legal counsel for the Navy's court of inquiry in 1967, signed an
affidavit declaring that the late Admiral Isaac Kidd, president of
the court, had told him that President Lyndon Johnson and
Robert McNamara, defense secretary, had ordered a cover-up.

And on Monday, David Hatch, the National Security Agency's
own historian, elaborated on the recently declassified NSA
material, the first time the eavesdropping agency had released
real voice intercepts.*

Mr Hatch confessed that the information "doesn't settle much".

But his analysis of the conversations between an Israeli air
controller and two helicopter pilots "suggested strongly" that the
Israelis did not know at first they were attacking a U.S. vessel,
although there was mention of a U.S. flag flying.

He also regretted that the new NSA material did not clarify why
the Liberty had not received orders sent to it to leave a war zone.

Joseph Lentini, a survivor who has spent the past 36 years
researching the tragedy, told reporters he remained convinced
that the attack was deliberate.

Remember the LIBERTY**
and all those who perpetrated this foul atrocity

Betrayal behind
Israeli attack on U.S. ship


By ADM. THOMAS MOORER



After State Department officials and historians assembled
in Washington, D.C., last week to discuss the 1967 war in the
Middle East, I am compelled to speak out about one of U.S.
history's most shocking cover-ups.

On June 8, 1967, Israel attacked our proud naval shipÂ*Â*the
USS LibertyÂ*Â*killing 34 American servicemen and wounding
172. Those men were then betrayed and left to die by our own
government.

U.S. military rescue aircraft were recalled, not once, but twice,
through direct intervention by the Johnson administration.
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's cancellation of the
Navy's attempt to rescue the Liberty, which I personally
confirmed from the commanders of the aircraft carriers America
and Saratoga, was the most disgraceful act I witnessed in my
entire military career.

To add insult to injury, Congress, to this day, has failed to hold
formal hearings on Israel's attack on this American ship. No
official investigation of Israel's attack has ever permitted the
testimony of the surviving crew members.

A 1967 investigation by the Navy, upon which all other reports
are based, has now been fully discredited as a cover-up by its
senior attorney. Capt. Ward Boston, in a sworn affidavit, recently
revealed that the court was ordered by the White House to cover
up the incident and find that Israel's attack was "a case of
mistaken identity."

Some distinguished colleagues and I formed an independent
commission to investigate the attack on the USS Liberty. After
an exhaustive review of previous reports, naval and other military
records, including eyewitness testimony from survivors, we
recently presented our findings on Capitol Hill. They include:

€ Israeli reconnaissance aircraft closely studied the Liberty
during an eight-hour period prior to the attack, one flying within
200 feet of the ship. Weather reports confirm the day was clear
with unlimited visibility. The Liberty was a clearly marked American
ship in international waters, flying an American flag and carrying
large U.S. Navy hull letters and numbers on its bow.

Despite claims by Israeli intelligence that they confused the
Liberty with a small Egyptian transport, the Liberty was
conspicuously different from any vessel in the Egyptian navy.
It was the most sophisticated intelligence ship in the world in
1967. With its massive radio antennae, including a large satellite
dish, it looked like a large lobster and was one of the most easily
identifiable ships afloat.

€ Israel attempted to prevent the Liberty's radio operators from
sending a call for help by jamming American emergency radio
channels.

€ Israeli torpedo boats machine-gunned lifeboats at close range
that had been lowered to rescue the most seriously wounded.
As a result, our commission concluded that:

€ There is compelling evidence that Israel's attack was a deliberate
attempt to destroy an American ship and kill her entire crew.

€ In attacking the USS Liberty, Israel committed acts of murder
against U.S. servicemen and an act of war against the United
States.

€ The White House knowingly covered up the facts of this attack
from the American people.

€ The truth continues to be concealed to the present day in what
can only be termed a national disgrace.

What was Israel's motive in launching this attack? Congress must
address this question with full cooperation from the National
Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and the military
intelligence services.

The men of the USS Liberty represented the United States. They
were attacked for two hours, causing 70 percent of American
casualties, and the eventual loss of our best intelligence ship.

These sailors and Marines were entitled to our best defense.
We gave them no defense.

Did our government put Israel's interests ahead of our own? If so,
why? Does our government continue to subordinate American
interests to Israeli interests? These are important questions
that should be investigated by an independent, fully empowered
commission of the American government.

The American people deserve to know the truth about this attack.
We must finally shed some light on one of the blackest pages in
American naval history. It is a duty we owe not only to the brave
men of the USS Liberty, but to every man and woman who is
asked to wear the uniform of the United States.
