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:

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

Knicks fans need to stop celebrating for a second (myself included) and think about this series from the Spurs' perspective.

The most obvious move Mitch Johnson can make in Game 3 should concern New York.

You NEED to listen to me.

The next timing cycle for $SPY will start between Tuesday, May 25th to Friday, June 5th.

Historically, when the markets are 11% - 15% stretched FROM its moving averages, it's in the LATER stages of its timing cycle.

What does this mean?
1. Red days are likely ahead
2. Sentiment on X will change and start becoming nasty

What should you do?
1. When others get scared, you BUY
2. Buy STRONG leaders with revenue and profits
3. Balanced portfolio with high growth + defensive

Over the last few months, we've MADE millions together as a team. Now, I will SAVE you millions.

Do not panic. It's time to buy good deals soon.

[AskLivermore @asklivermore]

To all my amazing followers. NOBODY teaches you this. But I am right now.

THIS is how you BUY stocks at all-time highs (the right way):

Phase 1
1. The concept is called, "micro-positioning." Instead of lump-summing big and praying markets keep going up, you buy slowly, every single day.

Day 1: $500; Day 2: another $500; Day 3: another $500, etc.

2. This gets rid of the TIMING risk. Rain or shine, you keep building your positions. MUCH better and peace of mind.

3. Having FEW tickers and "conviction" works at LOWS. It does NOT work at all-time highs. Very dangerous to bet your net worth into a few tickers at all-time highs.

Phase 2:
1. Instead of "conviction", you spread your bets across many tickers and stocks. This is NOT diversification. This is, "INTENTION."

2. "Intention" is having 3 categories -> Current winners + laggards + defensives at all-time highs.

3. You will buy across these 3 buckets. Current winners are AI - higher volatility and growth. Laggards are sectors finding a low, like software, healthcare, military defensive. Defensives are consumer defense like utilities and consumer staples.

Phase 3:
1. If the markets keep going up, great. Your AI portfolio and late-stage laggards will outperform the markets.

2. If the markets go DOWN, great. Your portfolio is STABLE with defensive names and you ABSORB the volatility.

Phase 4:
1. Once the markets are at BETTER levels and have dropped, this is when you consolidate into lesser positions and have CONVICTION into fewer names.

2. You start rebalancing by keeping the winners, cutting the losers, and ride the new bull cycle into millions.

Never EVER have "conviction" at all-time highs with bearish divergence and markets stretched 3X standard deviation away from its moving averages. You WILL get humbled.

@DBashIdeas For the Rangers it was a Kri and Ksiv deal. But I guess Gematrias are allowed to be one number off.

[NBA Base @TheNBABase]

Jeremy Lin heavily criticized Mitch Johnson and the Spurs’ fourth-quarter offense in Game 1, questioning the heavy reliance on Wemby isolations and the team's rotation choices:

"The focus for sure is the second half where they were minus-17, but specifically even in the fourth quarter, I didn't love the late-game offensive game plan. It was too much Wemby ISO. It just seemed like everything was difficult, everything was hard, everything was contested. Can we get him in more spontaneous, impulsive actions? Can we get him in some pin-downs? Can he set more screens? Can guards come set screens for him? It felt like every time down the floor they were giving him the ball, and KAT was doing a great job of playing defense, and Wemby was tired. So how are they able to create different actions so that the Knicks aren't seeing the same thing every single time? Another piece that's really important is Keldon Johnson, who played only eight minutes. Sixth Man of the Year, a lot of minutes went to Harrison Barnes. I'm not sure what's happening there, but there is going to be a different level of production that needs to be had from other players stepping in. Dylan Harper obviously had an amazing game, but we need the Keldon Johnsons and obviously De'Aaron Fox to be able to step up. I do think there's a lot to be said for in terms of how big that moment was for the Spurs."

🔸️Errors: 4 (T-2nd Worst)
🔸️Range: 3 (T-3rd Worst)

The thing about Mark Vientos is he can’t field, and he’s the slowest player I’ve ever seen, but he also can’t hit.

POWERFUL: @BUngarSargon SLAMS Graham Platner and Democrats lining up to defend him...

"Well, I'll just say my grandfather's whole family was murdered in the Sobibor concentration camp. Graham Platner doesn't just have a Nazi tattoo. For 18 years, he had a tattoo of the concentration camp guards on his chest, and he knew what it was. He knew what it was. And to hear people compare that to anything else in the public sphere in America is insane. And it is insanely offensive. These people who are defending him called me, and every other MAGA person a Nazi for ten years, because we voted for someone who we thought would improve the lives of working-class Americans, and now they are lining up and defending a guy who had a Nazi tattoo -- which he knew about -- for 18 years. It is so insane to act like anything Donald Trump did was anywhere close to having a Taunton Cup on his chest for 18 years. This guy is a Nazi, and Democrats are lining up behind him because they think he can win."

"You ADVOCATE for TERRORISTS on a DAILY BASIS."

"Oh, I'M SORRY, are we getting a little emotional?" 😂

"You advocate for a terrorist regime every single DAY, the gentlelady from Michigan. You associate with them."

*She keeps shouting*

TLAIB: "That is a direct attack on my character! Strike the words down!!" 🤣
