Who are you going to believe, Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, Israeli politicians or American servicemen who were on the ship? Watch and You Decide.
After a three-month voyage of 8,000 miles from Galveston, Texas sailor Larry Toenjes, his one-person crew and his 37-foot sailboat, the S/V (sailing vessel) Liberty arrived September 7, 2011 at 3pm local time, at the spot off the Egyptian coast that is the site of the June 7, 1967 Israeli attack on the US Naval vessel, the USS Liberty. The deliberate Israeli attack killed 34 US Navy sailors and wounded 174.
ReplyDelete...
Since he arrived in the Mediterranean Sea over a month ago, Toenjes has been in communication with Commander Robert Palm, the Naval Attaché at the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel, about his concern that Israeli Navy commandos would attack him as they had attacked other vessels in international waters.
...
As Toenjes arrived off the coast of Egypt, in a September 7, 2011 email, Commander Palm wrote Toenjes ...
"We have no indication that the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) would harass your vessel, based on your reported route to the point of interest and then onto El Arish.

ReplyDeleteCannot Guarantee Safety
According to ongoing polling by the Israel Project, based in Washington, D.C., and credited with a high degree of professionalism, rank-and-file support for Israel has actually grown over the years despite the anger of administrations over Israel’s settlement policies. This could be attributed to 9/11, American horror over the way the Taliban treat women and one another, Jihadist terror, Saudi funding for al-Qaeda, being held hostage to Arab oil and OPEC’s prices, the duplicity of Pakistan, and many other negative examples.
ReplyDeleteBut as the data show, there is also a healthy respect for Israel that goes way deeper than problems with Islam, support that derives from positive reasons rather than fear and bigotry, which ultimately makes for a healthier relationship.
At the heart of it all, however, is the American Jewish community, without whose active involvement on Israel’s behalf the strategic relationship between the two countries would be vastly different.

ReplyDeleteGrow up
You are hilarious.
You were asked to leave the blog some time ago Allen. The fact that you lacked the grace to do so surprises no one here. You have always been that guy who was threatening to leave but could never quite bring himself to do so.
In our last go round on the Liberty you accused me of being anti-semitic and a dukoid. I accused you of being a race baiter and asked for examples of my anti-semitism. You never got around to giving me an answer.
Since then, you and I haven't had much direct conversation if any. It's worked out pretty good and saved one or more arguments on the blog.
However, in the past few months, you refuse to let the Liberty incident drop. Unprovoked you have brought it up a number of times with today merely being the most recent. I have ignored it in the past but got a little fed up with it today.
Today, I have attacked the two issues you continually bring up, the flawed and in some cases non-existent "13 investigations" and the garbage dump of documents in 2007.
Grow up?
Perhaps, you should take your own advice and stop believing in fairy tales.

ReplyDeleteAllen, the last time we discussed the Liberty, you accused me of being anti-semitic and a dukoid. At the time, I asked you for examples that show I am either or both. Actually, I never considered myself either. As a matter of fact, I have a general impression of Jews as being hard working and intelligent. On the other hand, it is a fact that I consider you to be the exception that proves that rule.
I can honestly say that you are the only person I know who ever visited a David Duke website. While I don't feel I am anti-semitic perhaps I'm mistaken. I am still waiting for examples that prove to you I am an anti-semite. I'm a little old to change but I would still like to see the thought process by which you come to that conclusion.
And please don't give me the Justice Potter approach of I know one when I see one, kind of like the 'feeling' you got that one of us here is a child molester.
You have been accused of being pompous (the illeism used a couple streams back was the first I'd seen since Bob Dole was lampooned for its use on SNL), a hypocrite, and a slanderer. I have accused you of being a race-baiter.
Lest there be any question of what that means:
Urban Dictionary:
Race-Baiter: One who insinuates that racism or bigotry is a dominant factor with regards to an event that either does not involve race or in which diverse cultures are involved and in which race is simply a minor element.
At one time or another you have indicated that at least rat, Rufus, Ash, and myself are anti-semites. On numerous occasions you have insinuated that the rest of the bar contributes to the anti-semitism by being, at a minimum, enablers. The others can challenge you, or not, on their own.
However, I am now asking for those examples.

It actually put me off so I walked out and went across the road to Hungry Jacks.
I lined up again and there was another girl wearing a burqah. I was happy to see that it was clean and it actually was nicely decorated with beads and sequins.
That's when I realised - the burqah's are Better at Hungry Jacks!
I looked at the complete series for the first time after Allen's taunt. It does not look like 13 to 0 to me.
ReplyDeleteNothing that moral cretin Robert McNamara did would surprise me. In 1967 the real killing in Viet Nam was cranking up. It was obvious to any GI that was there, talked to anyone was there or had the mental capability to read between the lines of "The Stars and Stripes" knew we were being lied to. McNamara, that skunk knew he was getting Americans killed for a mistake by the thousands. He did it because of politics. What did it matter to add another three dozen to his toll?
The story on the USS Liberty is so toxic, so avoided by the media, it has cover-up written all over it. It is a sad commentary that American politicians are fearful of examine a US military disaster because they are so beholden to a powerful foreign lobby. Let the facts speak for themselves

ReplyDelete"You simpering hypocrite, like some pretentious parson with a stick up his ass muttering false pietisms about the hard work of a bunch of guys pulling reports together."
And this does what? Try READING some of the thousands of pages of EVIDENCE. Opinions are like hypocrites for goodness sake.
Some would have every American military officer and seaman complicit in a cover-up, forgetting the old adage, "The only way three men can keep a secret is if two of them are dead." Moreover, it is disgusting, mean and traitorous to allow one's bigotry to brand a vast number of men and women servign their country as vermin. Personally, projection comes to mind.
Re: Johnson
Some recently recovered documents show that Johnson's great-grandmother, grandmother and mother were Jews by genetics. That makes Johnson a Jew by ancient law.
Deuce,
ReplyDeleteDuring the past several years on two occasions I spent a great deal of time linking to the mountain of publically available reports. No one hear bothered to read them, before piously passing judgment on them and me. I will not trouble myself again.
As to a cover-up, we lived during that time of cover-ups. The question remains, what was being covered up? Was, as WiO would have it, a cover-up of an American spy agency gone mad (say running heroin out of the Golden Triangle aboard Air America); or was it something else? I don't know. What I do know is that, whereas one here has reduced our service men and women to mere paper pushers, that is a moronic, unpatriotic insult meant to change the subject and give vent to visceral hostility of an ancient type. Just as the idiotic accusation that Pat Tillman was murdered, this is another instance of attacking America without having the courage to put your real name on the letter to the editor...dastardly and cowardly (and that is not meant for you).
The United States (various departments of the executive and Congressional committees) have found Israel innocent of MALICE on ten occasions. Three Israeli investigations have exonerated Israel of MALICE. No one denies that a tragedy occured or minimizes the suffering of those harmed. What is not supported by a shred of evidence is MALICE.
For my part, I think the issue of the probable destruction of Western commercial craft on land, in the air and on the sea by "stinger" type missiles is far more important and has the potential to shutdown traffic in the West.

As to a cover-up, we lived during that time of cover-ups. The question remains, what was being covered up?
ReplyDelete1. That the US had discovered through SIGINT that Israel was going to open another front against Syria despite the cease-fire.
2. That thirty-four Americans aboard the ship were expendable.
3. That Israel knew they were attacking a US Navy vessel flying a large Stars and Stripes, after reconnoitering the area for six hours.
4. That the attack involved machine-gunning lifeboats, making it AGGRAVATED murder.

I do not think the examination of the Liberty should start anywhere else except in Washington DC. Israel is a side show. We had carriers armed to the teeth.

The US military and their enabling Democrats created an attack upon the United States Navy where one did not occur, in the Gulf of Tonkin, while covering up one that did occur, in the Med.
ReplyDeletePolitics was like that, when the Democrats held sway, back in the day.
According to Israeli sources, at the start of the war on June 5, General Yitzhak Rabin (then IDF Chief of Staff) informed Commander Ernest Carl Castle, the American Naval Attaché in Tel Aviv, that Israel would defend its coast with every means at its disposal, including sinking unidentified ships. Also, he asked the U.S. to keep its ships away from the shore or at least inform Israel of their exact position.[12][13] With the Liberty in international waters and gathering intelligence, the United States did not provide any information about its location.
ReplyDeleteit was a declared war zone...

ReplyDeleteStill, today, the Israeli continue to practice their piracy, in the Med against the commercial shipping of our NATO ally.

Admiral Rufus Taylor, to write me his view of the incident.
ReplyDelete"To me, the picture thus far presents the distinct possibility that the Israelis knew that the Liberty might be their target and attacked anyway, either through confusion in Command and Control or through deliberate disregard of instructions on the part of subordinates."
The day after the attack, President Johnson, bristling with irritation, said to me, "The New York Times put that attack on the Liberty on an inside page. It should have been on the front page!"
I had no role in the board of inquiry that followed, or
the board's finding that there could be no doubt that the Israeli's knew exactly what they were doing in attacking the Liberty.
I have yet to understand why it was felt necessary to attack this ship or who ordered the attack.
Richard Helms, Director of the CIA, tells US of the cultural collusion between the NYTimes and Israeli, as seen from the Oval Office.

ReplyDeleteSince it is important to me to help those less fortunate rise from slime, I am glad to see that one has learned the difference between "ass" and "anus" (albeit, "ass" is not anatomical). That he still fixates on sticking things into my rectum is troubling and queer.
At the time of our last argument over the Liberty, I told Allen he reminded me of a man 'with a stick up his ass.'
Meaning: Stick up his ass
Urban Dictionary:
Pompous, a stiff, tighter than a duck's ass.
Online Slang Dictionary:
To be overly formal or humorless.
Since he obviously misunderstood the meaning of the term, I explained its derivation. But Allen being Allen, still took umbrage at the crudity of the remark (this coming from the man who references slang such as "lick his pecker like a hound".
Rather than offend his delicate sensibilities further, I changed the phrase to read, "a stick up his anus".
At this point, Allen provided us with a pedagogical treatise on the size, shape, and flexibility of the anus. The point evidently being that the anus was too small to get a stick up and that I should have said 'the rectum'.
No folks, you can't make this stuff up.
Ignoring the fact that anatomy has little to do with the meaning of the phrase "a stick up his ass (or anus)", let's look at the anatomy.
Diaqram of the Anus
Diagram of the Rectum
Looking at the diagrams, one has to ask "how does one get to the rectum without going thru the anus, unless of course you take the long route past the tonsils?"
As an aside, as I recall, the size of the anus presented no problems to Vlad the Impaler as he stuck a stick up numerous people's asses.

Iran Air Flight 655 (IR655) was a civilian jet airliner shot down by U.S. missiles on 3 July 1988, over the Strait of Hormuz, toward the end of the Iran–Iraq War. The aircraft, an Airbus A300B2-203 operated by Iran Air, was flying from Bandar Abbas, Iran, to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, when it was destroyed by the U.S. Navy's guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes, killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard, including 66 children,[1] ranking it ninth among the deadliest disasters in aviation history. It was the highest death toll of any aviation incident in the Indian Ocean and the highest death toll of any incident involving an Airbus A300 anywhere in the world. Vincennes was traversing the Strait of Hormuz, inside Iranian territorial waters, and at the time of the attack IR655 was within Iranian airspace.[2]
ReplyDeleteAccording to the US government, the crew identified the Iranian Airbus A300 as an attacking F-14 Tomcat fighter. The Iranian government maintains that the Vincennes knowingly shot down the civilian aircraft. The event generated a great deal of controversy and criticism of the U.S. Some analysts have blamed U.S. military commanders and the captain of the Vincennes for reckless and aggressive behavior in a tense and dangerous environment.[3][4]
In 1996, the United States and Iran reached "an agreement in full and final settlement of all disputes, differences, claims, counterclaims" relating to the incident at the International Court of Justice.[5] As part of the settlement, the United States agreed to pay US$61.8 million, an average of $213,103.45 per passenger, in compensation to the families of the Iranian victims. However, the United States has never admitted responsibility, nor apologized to Iran.[6]

ReplyDeleteFriendly fire is inadvertent firing towards one's own or otherwise friendly forces while attempting to engage enemy forces, particularly where this results in injury or death. A death resulting from a negligent discharge is not considered friendly fire. Neither is murder, whether premeditated or in the heat of the moment, nor is deliberate firing on one's own troops for disciplinary reasons, as in these cases there is no intent to harm the enemy.[1] Similarly, inadvertent harm to non-combatants or structures, usually referred to as "collateral damage", is also not considered to be friendly fire.[2]
ReplyDeleteThe term friendly fire was originally adopted by the United States military. Many North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) militaries refer to these incidents as blue on blue, which derives from military exercises where NATO forces were identified by blue pennants, hence "blue", and Warsaw Pact forces were identified by orange pennants. Another term for such incidents is fratricide, a word that originally refers to the act of a person killing their brother.

Schmidt was charged with negligent manslaughter, aggravated assault, and dereliction of duty. He was found guilty of the latter charge. During testimony Schmidt blamed the incident on his use of "go pills" (authorized mild stimulants), combined with the 'fog of war'.[68] The Canadian dead received US medals for "bravery", but no apology.
Pat Tillman, a former professional American football player, was shot and killed by American fire in April 22, 2004. An Army Special Operations Command investigation was conducted by Brigadier General Jones and the U.S. Department of Defense concluded that Pat Tillman's death was due to friendly fire aggravated by the intensity of the firefight. A more thorough investigation concluded that no hostile forces were involved in the firefight and that two allied groups fired on each other in confusion after a nearby explosive device was detonated.

LBJ, under pressure to avoid additional military standoffs (due to the Vietnam war) allowed the aggressor Egypt to violated UN security council resolutions about troops in the sinai.
Couple this with Syria, Iraq, Jordan and more) actively trying to destroy Israel and it's population in a genocide and America decides for right or wrong to send a ship into the fray...
People are all over the thought that the ship was clearly flagged with an American Flag...
SO WHAT?
Do you really think that Egypt, the Soviets, the Brits, French or WHOM ever it was was telling the truth????????
Are you for real????????

FBI agents executing search warrant at Solyndra
By Lisa Fernandez lfernandez@mercurynews.com
Posted: 09/08/2011 08:05:59 AM PDT
Updated: 09/08/2011 09:59:23 AM PDT
Just days after the company filed for bankruptcy protection, federal agents swarmed around the Solyndra facilities in Fremont to execute a search warrant.
FBI agents were joined by officials from the Department of Energy's Office of the Inspector General in the early morning operation.
Officials would say little about the search, which seemed to center on the Solyndra buildings on Page Avenue off Interstate 880.
"Everything is under seal," said Julianne Sohn, a spokeswoman for the FBI.
Agents began executing their search about 7:30 a.m., Sohn said. More agents arrived in SUVs at 8:40 a.m.
The action by federal agents comes a week after the solar manufacturer abruptly closed, laying off about 1,000 workers, and two days after the company filed for bankruptcy protection.
Solyndra spokesman Dave Miller said the search came as a surprise, but he emphasized the company is "fully cooperating" with federal officials. He said he did not know the purpose of the search, but he speculated it could have something to do with the $535 million in loan guarantees the Department of Energy awarded to Solyndra.
There are indications that the agents are in the process of interviewing Solyndra employees.
Miller said there is a "wind-down" team still working at the company's facilities, including human resources, accounting and fabrication engineers shutting down
equipment. There are about 100 employees still on the job this week, but that number will continue to decrease, he said.
Solyndra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Tuesday in Delaware, saying it plans to seek a buyer.
Bloomberg reported that at the bankruptcy hearing, the company said it may have two bidders for the Fremont plant financed by the federal loan guarantees. The U.S. Energy Department is concerned that the potential buyer may buy and move the equipment and technology out of the country, Justice Department attorney Matthew Troy said in court Wednesday.
One of the laid-off employees, Mohammed Walahi of Fremont, showed up to file worker's compensation paper work for a repetitive stress injury and was surprised to see FBI agents instead of security guards.
Walahi, who was a process technician with the company for five years, lashed out at his former bosses.
"There wasn't good management in the company," he said. "We bought four buildings and how much did we spend, $50 million? We only needed one or two buildings."

Your argument is that Israel did what had to be done in their own self-interest during a time of war.
I have no argument with that at all. My issue, and what we have been talking about here is the political decision to call back the jets, leave an unarmed American ship to its fate in international waters, and then to try to cover it up.
When the Liberty was attacked, the US jets should have been unleashed to go in and destroy the Israeli PT boats and any other fuckers involved in the attacks.
You whining about how the US was to blame for not rushing in to Israel's aid and running into a conflict with Russia that could have led to WWIII? Wake up and smell the coffee.

LBJ, under pressure to avoid additional military standoffs (due to the Vietnam war) allowed the aggressor Egypt to violated UN security council resolutions about troops in the sinai.
ReplyDeleteOh, so UNSC resolutions are sacrosanct? Really?
Res. 119 (Oct. 31, 1956) – Considers that “a grave situation has been created” by the attack against Egypt by the forces of Britain, France, and Israel..
Res. 242 (Nov. 22, 1967) – Emphasizes “the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war”, emphasizes that member states have a commitment to abide by the U.N. Charter, and calls for the “Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied” during the June 1967 war.
Res. 347 (Apr. 24, 1974) – “Condemns Israel’s violation of Lebanon’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and calls once more on the Government of Israel to refrain from further military actions and threats against Lebanon”, and calls on Israel “to release and return to Lebanon the abducted Lebanese civilians”.
Res. 487 (Jun. 19, 1981) – Strongly condemns the military attack (on Iraq) by Israel in clear violation of the Charter of the United Nations and the norms of international conduct and further considers that the said attack constitutes a serious threat to the entire IAEA safeguards regime which is the foundation of the non-proliferation Treaty.

Fire discipline, bob. One shot, one kill. Unless you are Pat Tillman, in which case the Venutians sent in a hit squard of Ptz to take him out. Afterward, the brains of McChyrstal and Betrayous were eaten (but that is another coverup for another day).
"Every year the United Nations General Assembly votes on a resolution entitled, "Peaceful Settlement of the Palestine Question." And every year the vote is the same: It's the whole world on one side; Israel, the United States and some South Sea atolls and Australia on the other side. The vote this past year was 164 to 7.... We have all twenty-two members of the Arab League favoring the two-state settlement on the June 1967 border. We have the Palestinian Authority favoring that two-state settlement on the June 1967 border. We now have Hamas favoring that two-state settlement on the June 1967 border. The one and only obstacle is Israel, backed by the United States. That's the problem."

Thanks for posting this. Though I was born in Germany, I served as an “Advisory Team Leader” in Vietnam, after my job as Intelligence Operations Officer for our 4th US Armored Division, in Goeppingen, Germany. While I was the Intelligence Operations Officer a fax came trough about the Israeli sinking of the USS Liberty. Colonel Aantero Aakkula was my boss. He ordered me to run upstairs to bring the info to our commander, General Sherrer. While I stood in the doorway, our General glanced at me briefly, and commented: “With friends like the Israelis, we have no need of enemies!”
ReplyDelete“How can any nation, which claims to be our ally, and whose very existence depends on our desire to protect it’s citizens, dare to murder Americans.”
He wondered how we could do such a thing.

Currently there is labor unrest in the Port of Longview, in Washington State, because an international company has installed a state-of-the-art system that uses automation to a much greater degree than before. The Longshoreman’s union is trying to shut it down by trespassing, holding the security guards captive, dumping grain on the tracks, cutting brake lines, etc. It’s not a matter of the company hiring “scabs”, they are hiring union engineers rather than longshoremen. That’s wrong “brethren” it seems. So it’s a modern Luddite movement, right out of the Rearden Metal chapters of Atlas Shrugged.

ReplyDeleteMany people interested in security in Mexico and the Mexican cartels will turn their attention to Chicago in the next few days. Sept. 11 is the deadline for the U.S. government to respond to a defense discovery motion filed July 29 in the case of Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla, aka “El Vicentillo.”
ReplyDelete...
The many seizures and arrests during the period El Vicentillo’s attorneys allege the truce was in effect — which the motion says began no later than January 2004 — are the first factor undermining the allegations. For example, in February 2007 the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced the culmination of “Operation Imperial Emperor,” a 20-month investigation directed against the Sinaloa Federation that resulted in 400 arrests and netted 18 tons of drugs and $45 million in cash.
...
The second element militating against the allegation that the U.S. government entered into an agreement with the Sinaloa Federation is politics. Such an agreement would be political suicide for any attorney general or DEA administrator and the president they served were it ever disclosed.

ReplyDeleteThis in many ways is a silly discussion — governors and even presidents are very much at the mercy of the economic situation they inherited — and Romney actually framed it well:
ReplyDelete“The states are different. Texas is a great state. Texas has zero income tax. Texas has a right-to-work state, a Republican legislature, a Republican Supreme Court. Texas has a lot of oil and gas in the ground. Those are wonderful things. But Governor Perry doesn’t believe that he created those things. If he tried to say that, why, it would be like Al Gore saying he invented the Internet.”
...
“It is a monstrous lie. It is a Ponzi scheme to tell our kids that are 25 or 30 years old today, you’re paying into a program that’s going to be there.”
— Gov. Perry
Perhaps the governor does not know the dictionary definition of a Ponzi scheme. Here’s what Merriam-Webster says: “An investment swindle in which some early investors are paid off with money put up by later ones in order to encourage more and bigger risks.”
...
“Obamacare is killing jobs. We know that from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.”
— Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.)
Bachmann won’t give up on this factoid, even though we debunked it seven months ago and said it was worth three Pinocchios. It’s just not correct, and remains a perfect example of how politicians twist the facts.
The report of the threat came after several quiet weeks in which officials said they were scanning intelligence with extra vigilance before the anniversary, but had found nothing credible.

One law enforcement official said the initial intelligence report said that at least three suspects in a reported plot, one of them an American citizen, left Afghanistan and entered the United States by air last month. Intelligence agencies have not confirmed the report or identified those involved, the official said.
The official, who like others would speak of the investigation only on the condition of anonymity, said there was no connection to rental trucks reported missing in Kansas City, Mo. The trucks have been recovered and are not believed linked to the threat.
