USS Liberty Was Supposed to Die at Sea
LBJ’s Washington Considered Sinking What Isræl Failed to Sink
Isræl attacked the USS Liberty. The ship survived.
That survival created the problem: “evidence”.
Journalists could photograph the damage.
Americans could see the holes, the blood, the torpedo wound, and the truth Isræl wanted buried.
So Washington discussed sinking the ship.
Only NSA resistance stopped it, as the declassified memo in this 🧵 shows.
Then LBJ faced the reality he could not escape:
If the ship survived, he would have to admit Isræl attacked America.
That is when the political blackmail began.
04:18 — Tom Hughes, Director of Intelligence and Research, State Department:
“This alarmed the Isræli embassy and their leading friends in the Jéwish organizations.”
They threatened LBJ with “blood libel.”
04:50 — Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, former NSA Director:
“This was blackmail.”
Because LBJ needed campaign money, and the accusation could turn Jéwish donors against him.
The sailors survived Isræl.
Washington tried to bury what they exposed.
This 🧵 will show the full architecture:
NSA documents.
The attempted media blackout.
And the close proximity of Mathilde Krim — LBJ’s mistress and an Isræli spy — during the attack itself. 1/5 🧵
Reference stamp:
05:41 — Leaked Isræli HQ recording confirms they knew it was an American ship before the attack.

Nowak: "I've been stabbed"
Officer: "I don't think you have mate"

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Survivor of Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty, @PhilPhiltourney, recounts his experience on that day.
“We saw the torpedo boats with the Star of David, thinking, ‘Oh man, here’s our best friends, coming to help us.’ No — they came to sink us.”
Graham - "To any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC(for arresting Netanyahu), we're going to sanction you."
The rule is simple: Israel does what it wants, America attacks who it wants, and law is for the weak.
“We remind the two-billion-strong Ummah that this Arab Muslim people, who have been resisting for over 70 years, are facing genocide, starvation, and displacement before your eyes. What will you say to your Lord?”
—Martyr Abu Obaida
Aku cari cash buyer untuk R25 V2 siap modified ni. Bak datang RM 11k kita salam akad jual beli. Modified kelmarin pun makan ribu. Ni aku ikut harga market second je ni.
The world would be such a better place if we had more leaders like Ireland's new president, Catherine Connolly.
She drew from Ireland's own experience of colonisation.
🇮🇪✊🏼🇵🇸
Day after the attack: Peaceful olive farming across Turmus’ayya today. The Israeli army is going around to different fields asking farmers if they’re okay (lol). Normally I wouldn’t share a video like this, but idk… I feel like it’s a reminder that real boots on the ground reporting can have an impact?
