What Happened to the USS Liberty?

It’s a question that hasn’t been fully answered. You might say it was attacked by a silent weapon engineered for quiet wars. Others, “officially” state the attack is a case of mistaken identity. Survivors claim it wasn’t. And while history is written by the victorious, the truth always lingers among those who survive.
Thanks to such brave souls willing to speak out, we have a fairly good idea of what actually happened: On June 8, 1967, naval intelligence vessel USS Liberty was monitoring the unfolding Israeli/Egyptian conflict. Then came flybys of unmarked aircraft. Those same aircraft later opened fire with machine guns, rockets, and napalm bombs. Torpedo boats with Israeli markings also took part, severely crippling the Liberty.
Killed by the attack were 43 servicemen, and 171 were wounded. American liberty was attacked that day, in what appeared to be deliberate cover-up that left more questions than answers. Survivors were given orders not to talk about the attack, even to the extent that the NSA monitored the homes and communications of survivors. There was very little coverage of the attack as a result.
American diplomat George Ball had this to say about the aftermath:
“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.”
Restoring Liberty with Truth
You can draw parallels to the current state of liberty in our country. The USS Liberty was attacked in secret and denied publicly, much like the suppression of our liberties and freedoms today. And, with little acknowledgment from institutions we are supposed to trust. Remember, in this era of “disclosure” and “awakening”, anything less than full transparency is still a deception. A partial truth can sometimes conceal other secrets.
Keep that in mind if the JFK or MLK Jr. files are released. It’s also why congressional hearings on UFO encounters will continue feeling scripted. And don’t expect any real investigation on 9/11. The USS Liberty was attacked over 60 years ago, if that’s any indication of how long denial and silence can last in a government.
“The Truth is Out There”
Yet, this article wouldn’t exist if the lies, secrecy, and propaganda were successful. In a way, the truth is already out there for those who want to know.
Proverbs 25:2 teaches us: “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.”
Whistleblowers, alt-media, and independent reporters can reveal much. People seeking answers usually find them if they’re willing to do some digging. It ultimately shows you who, and what, is actually worthy of your trust. And it’s far more liberating than living a life built upon a foundation of lies.
