@TheModerateCase I vehemently disagree with your take on the attacks yesterday, but I can see that your opinions are your own and not influenced by money or some radical ideology.
Fifty-nine years ago today, an American Naval vessel, the USS Liberty, was attacked by air and sea by the State of Israel.
Of the 234 men on the ship, 34 Americans were killed. 171 were wounded.
Today, Thomas Massie will take to the House floor to memorialize the worst interpretation of the event, an interpretation that suggests Israel attacked the American ship on purpose and that our own government either coordinated with them to do, or is complicit in the cover up.
The USS Liberty has become a rallying cry for many of the worst voices in public life. From the Groyper Wars against Charlie Kirk, to Tucker Carlson’s blackpill-and-despair political project, to Candace Owens’ global jihad of grift and Jew hared, the Conspiracy Theories surrounding the USS Liberty have become one of the most respectable ways to advance anti-Israel and anti-American sentiment.
But what really happened on that terrible day in 1967?
How can we know what’s true?
And what does it mean for us six decades later?
Conspiracy Theorists love to overwhelm you with the sheer volume of their claims, but there are 8 claims which makeup the core of the argument.
We thoroughly address those eight in this episode, and shine a light on the phenomena that undergird these Conspiracy Theories in the first place.
Here's an honest accounting of what happened on June 8, 1967, and how — and why — bad actors are lying to you about it:
@Lukewearechange Apparently Israel needs to take rockets all day long in order to keep the peace because if not it’s their fault for responding…..fuck off you fucking idiot.
@nycconservat@IAPolls2022 Hopefully…..the Republicans need to win the midterms in order to pass the Trump agenda (because god there not really in the majority now)
