On the verge of undertaking military action against Venezuela last month, the Trump Administration was delayed by the reported failure of a U.S. Navy ship to get through the Panama Canal and into the Atlantic in time for the operation. As a result, the attack had to be delayed, but apparently not cancelled. The recent sinking of a cartel drug-boat in international waters is something the Navy should have been doing for the last 30 years. It is a self-defense action and not an act of war when done in international waters.

As has also been noted , Washington has turned down a very favorable deal with Venezuela on the oil purchases, access to rare-earth minerals, and, perhaps most important, significantly accelerating the eviction of Venezuelan illegals – including cartel criminals — from the United States.

There is, moreover, a feature of current U.S. plans for Venezuela that is always detrimental to the U.S. taxpayer, namely, an effort to establish a new democratic government in Caracas. U.S. representatives are in discussion with Venezuelan dissidents in an effort to identify individuals who would help to build such a regime. The country’s president – Nicholas Maduro – also has been offered a chance to leave the country without punishment, but with a gang of money to ensure ease and comfort for the rest of his life.

In America’s post-1945 history, this script has been used multiple times, to say the least. It has a record of never working out – in any way – and ending in enormous expenses, prolonged American involvement, and, far too often, combat involving our military services.

A troubling adjunct to the current episode is that Venezuela has successfully approached for help the largely irrelevant and often anti-U.S. Organization of American States (OAS). Sadly, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio took the bait and appears ready to support the involvement of the OAS in the search for so-called “peace and democracy” in Venezuela. Readers may recognize this process as identical to that which has been a standard U.S. practice for decades, and has seldom, if ever, succeeded. Often, such efforts have ended very badly for the United States, demonstrating that U.S. diplomats are chronically unable to recall that diplomatic successes are most often arranged through secret, bilateral, and backstage efforts, seldom by  public diplomacy, and never by international organizations. This U.S. mode of operation has been, since the era of Woodrow Wilson, a wretched failure.

None of the foregoing is meant to deride those who are simply following the orders of President Trump and his foreign-policy makers. This is an American-made script that has been used unsuccessfully in many areas of the world. Intended to remove political oppressors and install democracy peacefully, the policy seems not to understand that not all people are capable of establishing an enduring democracy, apparently not even Americans. Even those who have long been oppressed are, when liberated, faced with a choice between democracy or personal or group advantage, and as often as not, simply choose to become the new oppressors, thereby putting themselves in the driver’s seat and so  able to extract revenge and wealth from their predecessors. There must be a point where a much-honored but always disastrous U.S. foreign policy plan can be seen as such and rightly consigned to history’s ash heap.

Overall, a U.S. foreign policy, designed to build democracies or support countries that falsely claim to be democracies, has been an abject and century-long failure at home and abroad. Perhaps it would be more useful for the American people if their leaders sought to try to restore the crumbling U.S. democracy, remove to prison the foreign-paid U.S. politicians who have been systematically destroying it since the 1960s, and put end to the NATO alliance that now features multiple governments clearly intent on eliminating their native populations, turn their nations over to the violent dregs of the Third World’s population – to some extent copying U.S. governments in this regard — and seeking war with a superpower that could put the entire European community out of its intensifying, self-inflicted misery in short order.

Finally, we seem to be coming to the point where no one in power in Washington has any genuine concept of what the execution of an America First foreign policy means. To take the best example of this fact is Trump’s decision to allow 600,000 Chinese students to enter America to attend university. These are not today’s mediocre and often drugged-up U.S. university students. The Chinese students are individuals who have been indoctrinated with Communist theory and discipline since birth both at home and then in schools once their education began. They have also learned via television of the savage brutality China applies to those who do not behave according to the regime’s demands. These so-called students will do well in our universities because they have been well-trained in China’s expectations of them, and because not only they but their families are in danger if they fail to graduate and bring home with them a degree and as much intellectual property as possible. The Trump administration, by allowing this madness, is not just letting the camel stick his nose under the tent, it is permitting 600,000 of Beijing’s intelligence operatives into an already unstable republic.

While the new Pope conducts a bewildering “modernization” that claims science and faith are partners — as in the murderous Coved crime one wonders — the greater immediate danger to Americans is that their own president apparently is prepping for new wars, another attack on Iran and for a fight with Venezuela, perhaps also involving Colombia.

There clearly are few good guys in the governments of those countries. But Iran is solely Israel’s problem, and after letting China invade and for all practical purposes settle in Central and South America, Trump and his foreign policy amateurs seem to believe that they can undo the damage done by the U.S. government’s refusal to enforce the Monroe Doctrine for more than forty years by clearing the Southern Hemisphere of China and its economic and strategic successes. Fat chance. Even if the Trump administration were to succeed it will have conducted the new wars – as has every president since 1945 — unconstitutionally.

It has been reported that there had been a deal on the table between the U.S. and Venezuela for several weeks – before the U.S. backed out — which would have greatly increased the oil being sold to American purchasers, provided a very favorable deal to U.S. purchasers of rare-earth minerals, and included a deal that Venezuela would accept the increased the return of 2,500 of its illegal aliens per week, rather than the 200 that are now being accepted. The Trump Administration ditched this deal and now has U.S. Navy flotilla and 4,000 U.S. marines sailing to and fro in the Atlantic off South America’s coast. Why are they there? The most obvious answer seems to be that Blackrock Chief Larry Fink – never a more appropriate last name – and his robber-baron sidekicks at State Street and Vanguard are seeking to corner Venezuela’s oil production, as a complement to their so far successful campaign to buy hundreds of thousands of family homes in the United States to prevent young people for buying them and starting families, which is, of course. a tack high on the list of World Economic Fund (WEF) priorities for the its plan for population concentration controlled in 15-minute cities then and massive population reduction. It seems that Trump does not know – or is ignoring – the fact that that Fink is now the acting director of the WEF. How does man like Fink even get access to the president. Oh, yes, I forgot, money screams

Also apparently beyond the ken of Trump and his foreign-policy makers is that the United States already is more than adequately hated in the Southern Hemisphere, and may not need any more bad press and silly Gilbert-and-Sullivan-like imperialist military endeavors. The republic’s needs in that region are few, negate the Democrat-managed, illegal-alien invasion of America by sending them all home, and to begin to remove the Chinese invasion of the continent, which has created for Beijing a heavy political and economic presence and influence in the region, which would increase with the U.S.-made wars that seem likely. Getting China out of Panama is only a start, and probably the easiest part of the task.

Many Americans tend to think of South America’s military prowess as a cartoonish body of gaudily dressed dictators and generals. They are fooled by appearances and old movies. Guerilla warfare is not uncommon in the region. A U.S. attack on Venezuela, for example, probably would bring Colombia’s military to the aid of Caracas. Colombia, of course fought a long guerilla war against the talented insurgent/terrorist/narcotics organization called FARC and eventually prevailed. The territory of both Venezuela and Colombia lend themselves to guerrilla wars, and, as is well known from Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. military has not covered itself in glory when fighting guerilla wars. The administration also should not make the mistake it made in Yemen and Iran by assume that South America’s military and guerilla forces cannot adapt to and use modern and scientifically sophisticated weapons. Indeed, Nicaraguans are now working in Yemen to help improve their use of drone weapons, and Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah have long been present and active in Venezuela and Colombia.

As always, the bottom line for Americans since 1945 is that all our wars are ordered by a War Lord we refer to as the President. He and Congress defy the Constitution, start wars, and ultimately loses every time. The only sure things in all of the U.S. wars since 1945 – along with losing — are that the national debt will increase, civil liberties will be further contracted, military personnel will be killed and maimed, flag officers will demonstrate their manifest unworthiness to command, and additional proof that there is almost no shelter left for everyday Americans under the increasingly gutted Constitution.

There  are not many countries in the world that are facing the range of serious domestic and foreign policy problems the United States now confronts. In fact, there are so many obvious problems that most Americans probably have a favorite they would like to see settled immediately, if not sooner.

One of the problems seems, inexplicably, to be located at a very bottom of the republic’s to-do list. This issue, in my own view, requires an extensive, immediate, thorough, and, whenever necessary, brutal campaign of retribution against the thousands of individuals who were – and still are? — involved in conducting the deliberate worldwide mass-murder-by-Covid-vaccine operation. The intention, dimensions, and successes of the Covid operation have made the Nazi-perpetrated holocaust look like nothing more than a fender-bender for humanity.

But now, about 200 days into Trump’s term, we see no progress in rounding up the thousands of culpable American and European globalists, doctors, nurses, politicians, scientists, media personalities, academics, politicians, university medical schools, hospital directors, and Big Pharma companies, their leaders, culpable employees, and perhaps even major stockholders. Why is this? Are there more murders-by-vacine  than the many hundreds of thousands we already know of?

Trump has not done even the easiest part of the task and ordered a special effort be made to track down and arrest every member of the UN who played any role whatsoever in trying to deliberately kill as much of humanity as possible. He could twin that action with an order that all UN officials be questioned about the issue.

Indeed, the lack of action toward ridding the world of the enormous cadre of the Coved murders and operation and their always arrogant and lie-telling abettors is brightly underscored by the fact that the madman, Epstein sidekick, and murderer of tens of thousands of youngsters in India and Africa via his lethal vaccines, Bill Gates, is still at large and traveling the world. He continues to release mosquitos – and soon ticks that his scientists are developing? — into areas of the United States in untold numbers, a likely lethal action which no one in local or state governments, nor in the federal government has sought to end. Gates’ money is not talking at the moment, it is screaming.

There is no sane reason that why the second Trump administration has not accepted its clear responsibility for driving the Coved lie in its first, and its pivotal rile in Covid murders in the United States. Neither is there an excuse for Trump failing to send Special Forces’ teams to find, arrest, and incarcerate Gates, and then quickly persuade him to finger all those who have been working with him to foist his savage anti-human agenda on the world. After all, remembering the Jewish Holocaust is one thing, though, even on that point, Netanyahu’s eagerness to make all Israelis a testbed for more MRNA vaccines and man-made meat, as well as his government’s mass-murder of Palestinian civilians ought to spur questions about the degree to which Israel’s leaders remember the Holocaust for anything but political purposes and profit. Failing to address and avenge what happened with Covid, which has killed many times more than those killed in Hitler’s death camps, and will long continue to kill many more , is a crime of an entirely different magnitude in terms of deaths and the intent to eradicate the earth of most human beings.

Our republic, at this moment, needs to demand a campaign of judicial-retribution – including using the death penalty in every case where it is found applicable – that is capable of bringing a dead-halt to this numerically far larger and still ongoing Coved international holocaust, as well as to make each of its practitioners pay the most severe penalty the law allows. Such an action is far more important than any undertaken for any earlier deliberate, man-made mass-murder sprees. It screams out for immediate retributive legal actions, an intense public education about this need by the naming of suspected culprits, and a rapid initiation and then application of a broad, judicially valid, and utterly comprehensive solution, one requiring execution whenever it is found by law, evidence, and trial to be appropriate.

 There is now no way to avoid or deny the reality of the many decades-long serial attacks by Israel, its intelligence services, and wealthy Jewish Americans on the security of the United States and the continued viability of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

On this point, it’s worth noting that just this week the Trump’ administration stopped an effort by Israel and its surrogates in the United States – groups like the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center – to deny disaster or development funds to American states not certified as being philosophically acceptable to Israel and its people. We should all keep in mind that Trump’s about-face was not because he found anything wrong with the plan, but because of  the massive rebuke he received from his voter base and the alternate media.

Like all confrontations, there are two sides to every story and the U.S.-Israel relationship is no exception. It is precisely true that Israel and its surrogates among Jewish-Americans are skilled, dedicated, Christian-hating, and lethal enemies of the United States. But that lethality could never exist – not in a million years – if it wasn’t for the extreme criminal avarice of all but one member of the current U.S. Congress, many senior officials from across the federal bureaucracy, including the Pentagon and the Intelligence Community, most of the media, and millions of America-hating and deranged U.S. Christians. This blatant treason, of course, has a lengthy lineage that goes back to Harry Truman recognizing the new state of Israel in return for payoffs he could use to run his 1948 presidential election campaign. The whole sordid racket, of course, has festered into a very public stench-and-treason producer that may be unrivaled in history.

Amongst noisy arguments that often produce truth is the recent spat that arose when the leaders of the Senate and Congress refused to delay their vacation and remain in Washington to do the people’s work. The sum of the spat from the Congress’s perspective was “Nope, to hell with the people’s needs” and then Senator Thune, Speaker Johnson, and the rest went off on close to a month of vacation. Johnson, in fact, could not wait to fly off and take his vacation in Israel, kissing rock and paling around with Israeli officials who had just conducted a military attack that destroyed a Christian Church in Middle East. Johnson has never been shy about talking of his strong Christian beliefs, but the prospect of more payments from Israel and Jewish-Americans and/or their U.S. based organizations clearly trumped his faith in favor of keeping his and his colleagues’ pockets filled with cash.

In addition, Americans are now confronted with overwhelming evidence that American federal and state politicians are willing, even eager to ignore the people’s interests, needs, and constitutional rights – especially free speech — in favor of keeping criminal bribes flowing to them from Israel and Jewish-Americans. These politicians also are willing to kill the soldier-children of American parents by keeping the U.S. military and the citizenry’s tax payments at Israel’s beck and call so Israel can order them to fight its endless war of hate against Muslims and other non-Jews. Who knows, maybe Johnson sped to Israel to pick up bonus payments for all but one member of Congress and the Senate as that traitorous herd prepares to ignore the Constitution for the umpteenth time and silently allow War Lord Trump and Butcher Netanyahu to have yet another military go at Iran, and then move on to depopulate Gaza and steal control of Gaza’s energy resources.

Republican Congressman Massie (R-Kentucky) has accused President Trump of violating the War Powers Act by unilaterally deciding to attack Iran. Good for him, but he misses the point. The War Powers Act was and is, itself, unconstitutional. It makes you wonder what sort of people are sent to serve in the U.S. Congress? That’s a long and detailed answer but, quite simply, the answer is – perhaps not including Mr. Massie – constitutionally ignorant, avaricious, arrogant, war-loving, and Israel-First people.

The ability of one man or woman to take a nation to war by his or her decision alone, is the stuff of which European monarchs, Japanese emperors, Tsars, Soviet, Chinese, and South Korean Leaders, and, since 9 December 1941, all U.S. presidents are made of. Except for U.S. presidents, there is no surprise in the other one-person war-makers, they were all autocrats. Regarding the United States, however, there is no form of congressional legislation or delegation of power – even if such an effort was later found constitutional by the Supreme Court – that can give any U.S. President the legal power to order the United States military to war off his own hook. What Senator Robert Taft  (R-Ohio) said in 1951 about President Truman’s unilateral decision to enter the war in Korea was correct. Truman violated the Constitution and the original war-making provisions of the Constitution will remain the law of the land unless the Constitution is formally amended. “My conclusion,” said Senator Taft. “is that in the case of Korea, where a war was already under way, we had no right to send troops to a nation, with whom we had no treaty, to defend it against attack by another nation, no matter how unprincipled that aggression might be, unless the whole matter was submitted to Congress and a declaration of war or some other direct authority obtained.” [1]

Anyway, given an illegal-alien invasion of the United States, a barely recovering U.S. economy, and jails still not filled with the many hundreds of Democrats and bureaucrats who rigged the 2020 presidential elections, stole tens of billions, and helped murder so many Americans with the lethal covid shots, we are now again caught up in responding like brain-dead automatons to the demands of Israel and its Jewish-American organizations and billionaires. Seems much like an odorous, gasping fish is dragging and enormous and glorious whale to its demise, but this is the reality that our presidents and all of Congress have signed on for since 1949. Who would have thought that the motto of the U.S. Congress and the mainstream media would be “damn America, Israel First”, but now that is exactly the reality Americans are now confronting.

Israel started the war with Iran this time out, and the correct American decision would have been to let them fight it out with those they attacked. Israel’s game plan is always predictable, attack a country its deems a threat, or say some country may soon get a nuclear weapon, and then call on the American traitors they have on the payroll and/or have compromised – and they possess these sordid creatures in droves — to save the day for them through duplicitous diplomacy, military force, and enormous amounts U.S. dollars. Oddly, many Americans never seem to grow weary of being used by Israel like slaves. Indeed, they almost treat it as a duty, and one their proud to have. One would suppose that an American could believe that only if he or she was a raving maniac, but only those who reject the duty are identified as lunatics or, much more often, anti-Semites.

Well, we will have to see what develops in the wake of our military offensive against Iran as was ordered by our Israeli overseer. (Did you know that Trump refers to his boss as “Massa Bibi”?) We may dodge a bullet even after this ridiculous effort on behalf of what seems to be eternal and massively bloody Israeli aggression. After all, the sites hit by the U.S. in Iran have been publicly known for years, and one should have counted on the fact that the cunning Iranians would not leave them operational and wait for Israel’s American lickspittles to erase them and the enriched uranium they produced.

Perhaps a better guess is that Saturday night’ boastful, grandstanding attack on Iran is the start of what Colonel Mike quite cleverly described as the beginning of “Magasaki”,[1] which is a widespread recognition among Americans that Trump abandoned his campaign pledge of no-more-wars, and has done almost nothing to identify, arrest, try, and jail those well-known individuals who have pilfered trillions from U.S. taxpayers; to release the papers regarding Epstein, JFK, RFL, MLK, the 911 attacks, or to publish Hunter’s hard-drive, the later reportedly disclosing Israel’s use if its contents to keep the Biden administration shackled to the Israel- First line. Sadly, if Mr. Trump does not smarten up and act smartly soon, “Magasaki” may destroy Trump’s movement and, with it, the last chance for our republic to restore itself from the treason, greed, malevolence, and depravity of the political, educational, and judicial elites without a devilish fight in our own country.

So, at 330 PM (Eastern) on 17 June 2025, the media reported that 32 U.S. air-refueling tanker-aircraft were flying eastward across the Atlantic to be available to refuel U.S. and Israeli aircraft as they prepared to destroy Iran because the Mullahs had the nerve to be upset with and then respond to attacks by Israel’s aircraft. Worse than that, the Iranians have absorbed Israeli attacks without a whimper, and have responded like brave and tech-savvy men – instead of like the tough boys in Israel who are publicly whining about the damage Iran has done in Israel in its response to Netanyahu starting a war he now finds not easily won over the sturdy Iranians. As a result, he has demanded Israel’s owned-and-paid for American traitors to join the war and help him kill more Muslims. The money Israel has spent — drawing on the extreme wealth of Jewish Americans and the funds the U.S. Congress has shoveled into Israel for going on 80 years – is bearing fruit for the murderous Israeli government as Trump appears to have abandoned the idea of an American First foreign policy and embraced the Star of David. He now is dancing the interventionist two-step, while his Israeli and Jewish-American friends, the whole of the American Congress, most Flag Officers, and Jewish-American Trump-donors spit on the Constitution, U.S. domestic security, Old Glory, and demand Trump go to war.

America started the 20^th Century with Woodrow Wilson, who first spoke the America First lingo – non-intervention and neutrality — but then allowed the nation to be sucked into a European War which was only of a U.S. concern because he ached to mediate a peace deal to the war. The cost of that gross failure was 1,000 dead American troops a day for 110 days and the start of a steadily growing authoritarian U.S.government which has yet to be harnessed, let alone destroyed. What did America fight for under Wilson and his ego? Well, to make the world safe for democracy of course. How did that one work out?

Two decades on along comes Franklin Roosevelt – Wilson’s Assistant Secretary of the Navy – and with help from Herr Hitler’s Reich-killing declaration of war on the U.S. — took us into another ridiculous war in Europe, even though the only pending military task for America at the time was to defeat Imperial Japan for attacking Pearl Harbor.

FDR was the end of the road for constitutional U.S. wars. Since 1941, not one president has asked the Congress to do what only it can do, according to the Constitution, and declare war. After 1941, presidents’ have started wars whenever the mood hits them, most recently using the cover of that Congress-loved and unconstitutional item called “authorization for the use of force”. This slimy little gambit delegates a constitutional power that belongs solely to Congress. It or something similar, has been used in all but one of the wars America has fought since 1945. The exception being Harry Truman, who entered the Korean War with only his unanimous personal approval, another unconstitutional act. Each of the post-1945 wars has been a presidential war, we have lost every one, and we now have War Lords rather than presidents.

Long ago, one of our greatest diplomats and then president, John Quincy Adams, urged Americans to maintain strict adherence to the guidance for conducting foreign policy offered in George Washington’s Farewell Address. Adams warned that the survival of the republic depended on obedience to that guidance and on an enduring refusal to go abroad to seek monsters to destroy. War Lord Trump now seems arrogantly intent on ignoring historical truths and commonsense by starting yet another war in the Middle East. He is going to, as he said, “unleash hell” on Iran which clearly has been a pain in the ass for some of the world for a good long time. It has, however, done virtually nothing to America that has not been provoked by needless War-Lord interventions in places like Lebanon and Iraq. Indeed, the damage Iran has done to the United States has been minor when compared to the despicable, intentional, and enduring damage Israeli governments and Jewish-American organizations have wrought in the United States, starting with suborning the federal and many state governments, selling our technology to U.S. enemies, focusing Jewish-American money and organizations on Americans in an effort to reduce the Bill of Rights to an empty shell, and by refashioning the U.S. military as its cat’s paw. While there certainly are several foreign monsters out there, there is only one such state that merits immediate U.S. retribution, and it is not Iran.

I’ll finish with a quote from General Washington’s Farewell Address. He, of course, was not clairvoyant and so knew nothing about the future state of Israel. But he had seen the havoc and divisiveness caused in the United States by the all-in American advocates of revolutionary France, men who were supported with French money, the work of French diplomats serving in America, and, for a while, the covert assistance of Thomas Jefferson. Having experienced that problem, Washington urged Americans to forever steer clear of offering perpetual and unthinking support or enmity to any foreign country.

“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests.

The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.” (1)

You know, perhaps General Washington was clairvoyant, as well as being, by far, the greatest American.

President Trump’s decision to allow white South African Framers to enter the United States as refugees and thereby escape the bloody claws of a violent tyranny is correct and merits wide support. The decision appears to be based on the fact that since the apartheid’s end in South African 1994, the black South African government has scored three stellar achievements.

–It has demolished the Boers’ national, continental, and international economic steamroller, thereby substantially diminishing the present and future economic well-being of South Africa and its neighbors on the continent.

–It has deliberately built – with the enduring inspiration of the terrorist Mandela and his party — a criminal and clown-show government, as well as a culture of violence aimed against white South Africans, who are deemed to be enemies of the savage new South African political order.

–It has refined the deadly national culture it birthed by steadily expanding a new lethal sport; namely, the theft of land owned by white people via shooting and killing the country’s superb white Afrikaans farmers and their families, the group that has long formed a potent agricultural weapon that has staved off starvation not only in South Africa but among its neighbors. The number of fist-hand reports of such government-blessed behavior by murderous black racists has grown so large over the years that anyone denying it is both a liar and typical of the intense anti-white racism of the world’s mainstream media and its Globalists masters.

Trump’s attempt to rescue a few of the many white farmers and their families yet to be slaughtered by Pretoria’s savage anti-white lust has been too slow in coming. Russian President Putin began taking in white South African farmer and their families in the summer of 2018. Putin clearly had read the following statement, “The expropriation of land without compensation is envisaged as one of the measures that we will use to accelerate redistribution of land to black South Africans” and acted in the interests of Russia directly, humanity generally, as well as the white South African farmers, Christian scripture, and Russia’s agricultural security. One wishes Trump had acted much sooner, and perhaps on a larger scale, after Putin set the example. The quote by the way, is from a statement made by the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, on 21 February 2018. (bold emphasis added).

Trump’s action, one hopes, will bring in as many white South African farmers and their families as the law and any security considerations allow. After all, Biden’s fascist administration and his ketchup-tycoon/Climate-Tsar John Kerry waged a destructive four-year war against American farmers, their properties, and their supposedly earth-endangering cows. Leave it to that nitwit Kerry to create the climate-gangsters’ motto “If we don’t severely cutback farm production people will die!” But this motto is par for the course. Biden, Kerry, and the world’s other climate-fraud gangsters also have said that a severe reduction of CO2 is needed to save the world’s population”, even though it is an irrefutable scientific fact that without ample and increasing CO2 in the air, life on earth is not possible.

Trump’s policy of offering entry and eventually citizenghip to hard-working, agriculturally effective, and Christian white South African farmers to American citizenship, has likewise struck a blow for the most hated of all the Democrats’ domestic enemies, American Christians. On this point, keep in mind that the Biden-Kerry anti-farming campaign emphasized the persecution Christian Amish farmers and ultimately planned to send them to the climate-change Gulag.

Finally, Trump’s decision has helpfully prompted savage and very revealing attacks on his plan from the murdering South African government, globalists, liberals, the Democratic Party, radical or mad American blacks, fatuous Christian leaders, and the many millions of American adults-by-age-only, who have never matured and who are incapable of recognizing the difference between good and evil, and rule-by law and societal chaos. In addition, the mainstream U.S. media, and many other woke individuals and entities – a similar combination is strangling Europe — are declaring that Trump and those who agree with him are “white supremacists” bent on building an all-white America and seeking to drive non-whites into servitude. Such assertions, of course, are hard evidence of the hatred of Trump’s opposition for whites and reveals their power-hungry madness. In addition, however, they do reveal the reality of political life in the United States. That reality, since at least the end of the 1950s, is that the U.S. Democratic Party has successfully kept black Americans and immigrant minorities – legal or illegal — forever trapped on the party’s political plantations by channeling ridiculous amounts of taxpayer monies to them, by forever deliberately brewing anti-white hatred among them, and by creating a corrupt legal and political system that today favors blacks – and, of course, illegal aliens — over whites.

Trump’s move to protect the lives, and bring to America, endangered white South African farmers cannot, of course, change this sad and destructive reality by itself. His action, however, does wonderfully and most brightly underscore an educational moment, by showing how driven white Democrats, the mindless and otherwise angry and child-like woke, liberals of all colors, the sexually depraved, the Globalists, the anti-Christian, Christian clergy, and the mainstream media are to keep blacks and other minority groups reliable inhabitants on Democratic plantations where they feast on the debilitating intelligence-and-maturity limiting taxpayer-provided dole. All of this is so the plantations can be filled to the gills with anti-white hatred during four-year periods and then have their populace wheeled-out to elect people who will make sure the Democrats plantations of anti-white hate-cultivation will remain operative and successful in perpetuity.

Let us, for a moment, consider what Americans may encounter on the republic’s coming 250^th anniversary. Such a consideration, must all begin by recognizing the enormous damage that intentionally has been done to America via the utter failure of many of the members of country’s teaching profession, those icons of wokeness armed with outrageously expensive taxpayer support, federally mandated programs of sexual depravity for children, and guidance leading to tyranny. They have not given recent generations of students any semblance of the truth about our history.

At a starter, it is useful to note how few Americans or their media outlets called attention to the recent birthdays of three of the greatest Americans, Robert E. Lee, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. Each was barely mentioned in the media or anywhere else. How can this be? Well, students are not taught much about them, except that they must believe these men were despicable slave owners and, heaven forbid, white men. Indeed, there are few 20th century U.S. presidents who are remarked upon each year, when they are it usually only because of their birthday or for one of their achievements. Sadly, most presidents since 1898 are noted only for the unnecessary wars they start – usually in the name of the idiot idea of spreading democracy – and which end either clear defeats or pyrrhic victories. As they ended, those wars are disguised as victories by lying bureaucrats, presidents, generals, and the unfortunate but pervasive predilection of Americans to blindly worship their military, despite it having won a true victory since 1945.

The insipidness of “President’s Day”, however, certainly is in keeping with the consistently poor performance of almost all 20^th century American presidents; in that way, it is the perfect refuge for the shameful likes of Clinton, the Bushes, Obama and Biden. The fatuousness of President’s Day is convincingly powerful argument for annually honoring only those presidents who have actually led, built, or protected America and bumping the rest into a deep ditch, or least to take them down a peg or two by informing students about their great failures, such as the America’s participation in two world wars – really European Wars — that Wilson and FDR labored and lied to get America into; Truman’s tyrannical and illegal decision to take America to war in Korea without a declaration of war by Congress; and the other unconstitutional, because undeclared, wars in such places as Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, etc.

In sum, these events inevitably lead Americans to ask who is running the country? Sadly, the only possible answer is — “the President’ – and in Biden’s case an intentionally destructive and apparently depraved and half-dead man. Obviously, this speaks to the centralized tyranny that for multiple decades has been run by a president and that now passes for what is called democracy in the United States.

Americans are also faced with the costs of a forgotten or ignored reality, which is that the Founding Fathers never intended to create something brand new when creating of our national government. Their goal, as a few honest historians have written, is found in the definition of the term revolution as a phenomenon that travels a full circle. The Founders and their fellow British Americans fought a war, and after winning that struggle, toiled to establish a new republican government because the colonists had been deprived by the British king and his ministers of the British constitutional rights and the natural rights they were born with and brought with them to North America. As a result they lived under a growing the tyranny imposed on them by their King and his generals. In turn, the Constitution they created and ratified had zero intention of creating a democracy, which the founders knew would be, at most, the last rest stop on the road to tyranny. That fact that democracy is tyranny’s forerunner is confirmed by the centralized and nearly lawless authoritarian government which Americans live under today.

Likewise, the current child-hating leaders of the nation’s education system, operating under the diktats of the federal government’s soon-to-be eradicated Department of Education, has misinformed generations of students by refusing to teach them the basic truth that the United States was founded as Christian nation with the help of multiple, strong Christian leaders, sects, and the nearly unanimous support of the Founders and the general population. This is not to say that America was founded as a theocracy, nor that other faiths were not welcomed and gradually grew to be tolerated. It is, to say, however, that the United States – and its Constitution and laws – were and are meant to exist and operate as part of a Christian nation, and that the various Christian sects were to be left alone by the federal government to make their own way in the country. They certainly were not to be – as they are today – either harassed or denounced by the federal government or subverted by federal agencies through tax exemptions or by the outright bribery as we have seen in the roles played by corrupt and paid-off Catholic, Christian, and Jewish tax-exempt leaders and organizations. Leaders of each first abetted the Covid-gangsters to murder Americans, and then were richly rewarded to help flood the U.S. with many millions of illegal aliens. They also were key participants in the trafficking of more than 350,000 children – some reports say up to one million — into the United States only to disappear to work for contemporary slave-drivers or for the pleasure of the sexually depraved.

–In addition, teachers at all levels of education, must be required to stop teaching the fatuous idea that Constitution can be rightly identified and exploited as a “living document”, which really means that the federal government, the federal courts, and especially the Supreme helped to Court, the mass media, and the anti-Constitution lawyers produced by Ivy League law schools can, at will, twist, distort, and ignore the Constitution, American traditions, and the will of the people expressed in popular elections. This longstanding lie has now help to produce the centralized authoritarian national government and the many idiot laws that Americans live under today.

Since the early 20^th century, the Constitution has been turned into a full-service dispensing machine for those promoting overspending and tyranny. The domestic political enemies of America – a genuine rogues’ gallery of Wilson, FDR, Truman, Johnson, Clinton, the two Bushes, Obama, and Biden — simply put their demented desires into the machine and out rolls any decision they want, even if it makes a horse’s ass of our Constitution.

To drive this point home, there now must be widespread popular and resolute adult resistance to the argument that the U.S. Constitution requires major changes. Such changes would be the final straw for America, if a straw remains. What the Constitution needs is a full cleansing of many decades of crackpot court decisions; the elimination of the 26^th Amendment’s provision for voting at 18 years of age and return it to 21 years. This is a fair price to be  paid for the Democratic and Republican lunatics, the American teachers unions’ lunatics, and the inattentive or uninterested parents, who together have made most American 18-year olds into perennial anti-adults and the most ignorant, gullible, least experienced, lazy, non-commonsense, and under-educated American citizens who have ever lived.

Also needed is the redirection of the country’s law schools to again make them capable of producing lawyers whose goals are the preservation of the Constitution as written, and to enhance chances for its reliably fair application. Such a fix would begin to end the country’s rampant political subversion, societal and political mayhem, growing perversion, and the domination of half-baked law-school professors. It also would begin the mandatory process of educating future generations of students with the truth about the republic’s history, good and bad, rather than the deranged political, scientific, and social agendas that now dominate U.S. education.

Another deadly threat to the Constitution is found in a looming monster now just over the horizon. It is called the “Convention of States”. It is led by politicians, activists, lobbyists, and smarmy media personalities – some seemingly aligned with, if not beholden to foreign governments. The only product that could be produced by such a convention – given its sponsors, likely attendees, and  coverage by the mainstream media – is one that destroys what remains of the Founders’ Constitution and replaces it with a document that protects, empowers, and enriches America’s current amalgam of enemies, foreign, domestic, and those who are both.

The last, most obvious, and perhaps most important objection to the Convention of States is that there is no way to convene such a body and ensure that the attendees are all – like those at the Founders’ Convention – are Christians or at least attendees who recognize the indispensable role that Christianity plays in the optimal operation of the American republic. Indeed, a major reason for the faltering political, educational, and economic systems, as well as the nation’s social cohesion, has been the decades-long, federal government funded, led, and enforced attack – by federal and state judicial systems and the legacy media – on the prominence of Christianity in American life. This was in fact a reality from the arrival of the Puritans until the 1960s, when the Democrats’ deliberately descended into the pit of perpetual adolescence, began to take orders from the lamentable “hippies” and their spawn; and thereafter proceeded to make hating the republic, the Constitution, and all who opposed America them the required attributes of all loyal Democrats.

Since that development, the Democrats and a significant number of Republicans have cooperated to undermine Christianity’s key role in the success of American republicanism, both with attacks on Christian holidays, public prayer, and prayer in school, and, by the Democrats using their wholly owned teachers’ unions to make atheism  — at least in regard to Christianity — a leading theme of the education process. The federal government also has used the bribery of the Christian and Catholic clergies with tax exemptions and outright cash payments to achieve its ends. The former persuading the clergy to abandon its flocks by closing churches and supporting its lies during the sham and man-maid Covid pandemic, and, more recently, by delivering many tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish “humanitarian” organizations to help Biden’s gangsters bring millions of illegal aliens –especially children — into the United States. One or more of America’s non-Christian faiths also seem to be eager to support neutering the neutering 1^st Amendment by reclassifying as crimes the legitimate written and vocal criticism, the questioning, and, when necessary, the justifiable denouncing of the federal government’s favored portions of the populace. Such a passage in the document produced by the Convention of States surely would please some domestic American malcontents and non-Christians, as well as several foreign countries and governments – usually falsely identified as U.S. “allies” — but it assuredly would mark the Convention’s completed document as a clearly fatal pill to our Constitution, laws, and society, one meriting only burial in very deep and eternally sealed grave.

Mr. President:

I have watched your performance in foreign policy since your inauguration and find that your 4-year hiatus has not improved your understanding of the utter fecklessness of involving the United States ever deeper into the ongoing wars in the Middle East. You and virtually every one of your cabinet appointees have likewise made it explicitly clear that the only thing America fights for in the Middle East is Israel. Sir, wars in that region that will continue so long as Israel exists and deliberately continues to fuel Muslim hatred with its violence, geographical expansion, and ready access to the U.S. Treasury. You seem to be impervious to the fact that we have been roundly and repeatedly defeated in the Middle East by both sects of Islam, Sunnis and Shia. The United States military has never won anything in the post-1945 Middle East except Muslim hatred, a history of wantonly killing Muslim civilians, and a reputation for backing any and all Israeli attacks on Islamists, Iranians, Palestinians and Lebanese, and the populations of Muslim civilians attendant to both sects.

As you know, Mr. President, U.S. forces have been unceremoniously booted out of multiple Middle East states, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and, soon Syria. Indeed, it also has met more than its match in most of the Muslim countries in which it has intervened. Why? The reasons are numerous. One is incompetent and/or left-wing flag officers. General Petraeus (ret’d) is a fine example.Petraeus is a general who lost the Afghan and Iraq wars, then was first rewarded with the post of CIA director and, more recently, spent the past year as a democrat shill, repeatedly claiming – that is lying — that Ukraine was on verge of defeating Russia. Petraeus is so bad that he seems like the second coming of FOX’s General Jack Keane (ret’d), who spent two decades lying to Americans that there was light at the end of the always pitch-black Afghan tunnel.

Then there is the complete failure of any White House, DoD, CIA, NSA, or DHS Intelligence leader, or their lieutenants, to bother to read the words of mujahedin leaders – especially Osama bin Laden – and thereby begin to understand and believe what the Islamists are after, and how they plan to get it. Just as U.S. flag officers ignored General Giap’s words during the Vietnam War, today’s officers and their senior intelligence counterparts have never seriously listened to their Islamist foes. Instead, on the orders of an even dumber presidents, they went to war with no reliable knowledge of their enemies, lost those wars, and returned home disgraced. Astoundingly, however, they were welcomed as heroes by the politicians and media, as well as by the weapons-industry , and by a good part of the citizenry. The gun-makers, of course, do not care who wins or loses wars as they get paid in either event. The citizens who applaud an always losing military need to nurse their intellect to the point that it recognizes the enormous difference between winning and losing, especially on the point of wasting the lives of their soldier-children

It seems, Sir, that the reliable military failure of American forces is baked into the way they are built. The overwhelming priority and super-hero propaganda afforded U.S. Special Forces is a surefire way of losing every war we fight against the mujahedin, who in many ways are much better at performing as special forces because they understand – perhaps intuitively – that victory in insurgencies comes from breaking your opponents’ collective will to endure endless embarrassment and bloodshed, which the mujahedin did to U.S. forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Special Forces are designed to work on the periphery of war and not to be used and depended on as a country’s main force. Assassination of key enemy leaders, hit-and-run raids, infrastructure destruction, ambushes, tasks for skilled snipers, intelligence collection, and many other tasks rightly fall to special forces. The task of winning a war, however, is never in their purview. They and other Western special forces have proven – at least against the mujahedin – that they are not competent to do so. Main force that is empowered to be as violent as necessary to end wars as quickly as possible is the kind of military that wins necessary wars. The unquestionable skill and bravery of special forces – perhaps negatively tempered by their arrogance and inflated self-importance – are not war winners. They are, rather, vital players on the periphery of war, as were, their predecessors, men who were once called commandos. The main difference in their performances are that the former help to lose every unnecessary U.S. war since 1960, whine publicly about various issues in retirement, and still have the nerve to strut around like peacocks. The commandos simply marched, did their jobs, and kept their views to themselves, and played roles that complemented main force-actions and so helped to win wars.

On foreign affairs, Mr. President, the creation of a sound and enduring foreign policy is not a tough nut for an American to crack. It is built on the basis of experience, history, reality, commonsense, and the Constitution. The combination of these inputs yield four necessary foreign-policy tenets: (1.) non-intervention, (2.) neutrality, (3.) maintaining a military second to none, and (4.) the cultivation of the freest possible trade via agreements or treaties that contain no political or military commitments than can be triggered to automatically include U.S. participation by the other signatory’s problems, as in NATO. This was the plan of our Founders, and served America with distinction until our presidents, first with Polk and then from Wilson forward – including yourself – became unconstitutional war lords. To correct this clearly dilatory situation you must accept and adhere to three following simple facts.

–A.) You are the president of the United States and you have no constitutional responsibility for the security of other nations or peoples. The only allies America needs were given to it by God, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and – until you decided to begin wrecking the arrangement — the nation of Canada to our north. You likewise have zero constitutional responsibility – and you and your predecessors personal, religious, political, financial or emotional considerations are of no importance – for protecting Israel or for the security of the NATO nations, save Canada. In NATO, Britain, with the eager assistance of two traitorous and Anglophile presidents named Wilson and Roosevelt, sucked us into two unnecessary wars – 1914-1918 and 1941-1945. All told,  our close relationship with Britain since 1914 has been like deliberately sleeping  with plague-carrying vermin. The rest of the NATO members are simply along for the ride and, like Britain, are eager to get their arms wrapped around U.S. taxpayer dollars to cut their own defense costs. The NATO governments, again including Britain, and this time, Canada, are waging wars against their native-born populations, especially whites; annihilating the EU’s representative democracies and free speech (they already have or are in the process of fully disarming their populations) in the EU; and seem irredeemably drunk on the issue of wanting war with Russia.

–B.) As president of the United states, Sir, you have zero constitutional, divine, or commonsensical responsibility for either defending democracy – except, in your own country – or for pursuing an aggressive and militaristic foreign policy in the name of spreading democracy internationally. This deranged mission has been the key-component of most presidents’ foreign policy since 1898, and as such has brought forth almost no new and sound democracies anywhere; caused dozens of unnecessary and always lost U.S. wars; killed, wounded, maimed, or mentally deranged hundreds of thousands of Americans; cost American taxpayers ridiculous sums of money, as well as their children’s lives; created a world in which America has few if any friends; and, as war always does, has fostered the centralization of most political power in our corrupt federal government, greatly eroded the civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and has spurred and fueled the bureaucratic Leviathan  and the ferocious deep-state domination and cruelty that you, as president, are now commendably trying to forever shatter. Since 1789, America has never had a need for “allies” whom we must, by treaty-arrangement, rescue from wars and economic calamities of their own making. America’s partnering in such treaties can never be described as anything but a fool’s errand, and, as  it is popular to say today, the receipts for the idiocy of concluding such moronic associations are close at hand, and they are drenched in our children’s blood and the unending pain it leaves in the hearts of their families and many other Americans.

–C.) Finally, Mr. President, the constitutional key to drafting, executing, and maintaining the above-noted foreign policy is for you to absolutely renounce the idea that you can take this republic to war on the basis of your status as head of the Executive Branch. Your unnecessary, ill-considered, and eventually-to-be-lost war against the Houthis and their Islamist allies is a perfect example of an unconstitutional presidential war. All presidents since Truman have behaved in this manner and the history of those years is crowded with unnecessary and always lost wars, federal government corruption, the centralization of political power, and, naturally, tyranny. Mr. President you have no such constitutional power, though you are pretending to today  in the Middle East on the farcical and insane basis of protecting one of America’s greatest and most maliciously flamboyant enemies, Israel. Under the Constitution, only the U.S. Congress can declare the United States to be at war, any kind of war. Until that declaration is passed by the majority of both Houses, there is no war. Moreover, the Congress has absolutely zero constitutional power to delegate their sole responsibility to declare war to the president so that  the U.S. military can be used by the president to wage war off his own hook. The idea that the Congress’s “Authorization for the Use of Military Force” legally delegates its war-declaring power to the president is a rank nonsense. It is patently unconstitutional and is a despicable political ploy that those elected mountebanks designed to relieve a cowardly Congress from making such a decision, thereby leaving every member of the House and Senate free to cheer the president if the resulting war is won, or attack him with gusto if the war-effort goes belly up. Needless to say, the denizens of Congress have not had a legitimate  chance to cheer since 1945.

So, Mr. President, please think about the foregoing, and especially consider speaking publicly — and soon — to the American people and, as important, to the Congress, and explain to them that a U.S. president never has a legitimate constitutional power to take the republic to war on his order, save perhaps in the case of a surprise attack or invasion. though even the devious, war-wanting, and power-hungry FDR waited for a congressional declaration of war after the Japanese attack. Wars, Mr. President, are the source of the demise of many countries. America’s current run of seventy-years of lost wars must be stopped if the republic is to survive. If you want your presidency to be recalled fondly and proudly, force the U.S.-making of war back into its proper constitutional channel, and thereafter begin to reinstall the Founders’ foreign policy approach, which is the only one in our republic’s nearly 250-year history which has produced enduring peace, as well the prosperity and domestic tranquility that so often accompany peace.

This entry marks the first time I have published in this space the notes [with typos corrected] I prepared to accompany an episode of the Two Mikes’ podcast. I am doing so because I can think of nothing better to make the point that the American government’s relationship with Israel is an ongoing and accelerating disaster for the republic, its future, and its citizens, The news this morning proves this point yet again as President Trump urges actions against the 1st Amendment to quiet people rhetorically opposing Israel’s savage and U.S. funded-and equipped war against Palestinian civilians, and then thunders “warnings” to the Palestinians that he will help Netanyahu and his colleagues wipe every last Palestinian from the face of the earth. (NB: Here I am talking about speech, an peaceful marching, not such clear and punishable illegalities as occupying buildings, blocking roads, or destroying property). On this position, Trump is supported by all members of the Congress and Senate, the bulk of the federal bureaucracy, most senior U.S. intelligence officials, flag officers, most sate governors, all the mainstream media, and far to many of the of the major alternative media programs.

Why? Well the answer is simple, they long have been the creatures of Israel and its Jewish and non-Jewish American supporters. The basic and irrefutable fact is that the United States government, and two-thirds of the state governments, have been suborned and so compromised by foreign forces — Israel itself, Israeli-related politicians and billionaires, and their media, business, and academic sycophants in the United States. The annihilation of  Palestine and Palestinians also been steadily supported by shocking numbers of Evangelical Christians, whom, it seems, puts Israel first, and leaves God and his commandments to take the hindmost.

Trump keeps pledging the annihilation Palestine and its people –via-Israel-and-U.S. weaponry — in a war which always has been irrelevant to U.S. national security, one that should be ignored by Washington, and left to sort itself out. Please read the following and listen to the 1967 experience of a U.S. sailor and the 299 other members of the USS Liberty’s crew as they were butchered by the Israeli navy and air forces, while Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and President Lyndon Johnson ordered the nearby U.S. aircraft carriers not to send air support to the USS Liberty, thereby leaving her to her fate.

Its worth noting that every president, every Congressman, event Senator, every Secretary of Defense, every State Governor, every CIA and NSA Director, every secretary of the Navy, and every other flag officer from the presidencies of Johnson-through-Trump have — for 58 years — refused to reveal the truth about Israel’s deliberate massacre of the USS Liberty, instead claiming the attack was a “mistake”. The answer to this foul cover-up is to press Trump’s administration to release all papers related to the deliberate Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, as well as the papers that are still suppressed in the U.S. Archives dealing with the 9-11 attack and Franklin Roosevelt’s role in baiting Japan to stage an attack on U.S. military bases in the Pacific as the means not only ensure war with Japan, but as an event would help him get the United States into the European war, an action which most Americans still opposed on 7 December 1941. Pearl Harbor and Hitler’s declaration of war on the United States, gave FDR his chance to create a base which thereafter stupidly tied America to Europe until this day, although the steady crumbling of NATO , the UN, and the EU gives all Americans hope that they will soon have a much more non-interventionist foreign policy.

————————————————————————-

Today  (4 March 2025), on The Two Mikes, Colonel Mike, Dr. Mike, and Jack Maxey had the great honor of speaking to one of the survivors — Mr. Phil Tourney — of the pre-planned and extraordinarily vicious Israeli air force and naval attack on the U.S. Navy’s communications ship, the USS Liberty in June, 1967. The ship carried a crew of 300 sailors, Marines, and NSA and CIA language experts. At the time of the Israeli attack, the USS Liberty was the world’s most modern communications ship. Following is Mr. Tourney’s story of the attack, much of which has been supported by communications reports declassified by the National Security Agency (NSA).

On the afternoon of 8 June 1967, the USS Liberty was sailing slowly about 12.5 miles off the Sinai Peninsula – clearly in international waters – when its lookouts and radars picked out the presence of Israeli scout planes repeatedly flying around the ship, giving the ship’s crew a clear view of the blue Israeli star on the wings and sides of the aircraft. Shortly after the scout planes departed, Blue-starred Israeli fighters appeared and began to attack the ship with machine guns, bombs, rockets, and napalm. The attack was highly destructive, and successfully destroyed every antenna on the ship, save for one. Such a success rate, of course, is more than ample evidence that the Israel’s slaughtering attack was well planned. The premeditated Israeli attack lasted nearly 30 minutes.

Shortly after those Israeli war planes departed, five Israeli motor-torpedo boats attacked the Liberty, hitting it with one Israeli torpedo that blew a forty-foot-by-forty-foot hole in the hull of the ship at the point where it shielded the communications quarters, immediately killing many sailors and language experts. The motor-torpedo boats also shot the ship’s deployed lifeboats out of the water, with the exception of one that they Israelis took home as trophy. Overall, the deliberate Israeli attacks on the ship killed 34 members of the Liberty’s crew, and wounded 174 more – all Americans — a total that was more than two-thirds of the ship’s crew.

We asked Mr. Tourney why other U.S. naval ships in the region did not come to the aid of the Liberty? He responded that the Liberty notified all U.S. Navy vessels in the vicinity were notified of the attack, and almost immediately the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga launched aircraft to try and save the Liberty. Before they could reach the Liberty, however, the Saratoga recalled the aircraft under the orders of U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara . The order from him was “do not help Liberty, return to base”. Shortly thereafter, the commanders of the Saratoga and the nearby aircraft carrier America again sent fighters to assist the Liberty. The Commanders of both ships would not accept another order from McNamara, and said that another stand-down order “would have to come for higher authority”. Before the U.S. fighters could get to the Liberty, President Lyndon Johnson personally recalled the planes. The entire story of the deliberate failure to get help to the Liberty – especially the immediate availability of the Secretary of Defense and the President to intervene on Israel’s behalf – surely suggests that both men and their Washington-based admirals knew the Israeli attack on the Liberty was planned. Indeed, Mr. Tourney said that he has learned from others and from intelligence documents that U.S. Strategic Air Command bombers were in the air heading toward Cairo to attack in support of Israel’s then ongoing war with Egypt. That attack apparently was cancelled due to the deliberate Israeli attack on the USS Liberty.

The Liberty eventually received post-attack U.S. Naval assistance and was ordered to sail to the harbor in Crete, though getting there was a much longer voyage  than to the nearby port of Malta. While in Crete, the Liberty’s surviving crew members were exhaustively debriefed by an Admiral who was also a lawyer. During the sessions, the Admiral had been told by the survivors that they saw and experienced, namely a deliberate Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, and added that their experience foreclosed any claim that the Israeli attack could be seen as a mistake or accident. At that point the Admiral concluded the session and told the sailors that if anything they had told him was told to the media or otherwise made public, the sailor or sailors doing the telling would be “sent to prison or worse”.

It seems clear that the USS Liberty and its crew were set up for an attack via Israeli-U.S. cooperation on an operation that saw Israel’s air and naval forces do their best to sink the Liberty and kill all its crew. To this day, the U.S. government and military continue to claim that the Israeli attack was a “mistake”, these apparent liars have yet to tell the truth and to provide full honors to the Liberty and her crew for their heroic but unaided performance during the Israeli attack.

Currently there are less than 50 survivors of the Liberty’s, June, 1967 crew. On the weekend of 6-8 June 2025, many of them will gather in Norfolk, Virginia, at the Sheraton Inn, for their annual remembrance of the Israeli slaughter of their fellow crewman and to discuss the truth of an issue that the U.S. government wants to remain buried forever. With the assistance of VFW Post 4809 (Norfolk, VA), the attendees will honor their fallen colleagues and discuss many the facets of the attack. The public is welcome to attend, listen, ask questions, and learn. Perhaps President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and the CIA and NSA directors might spare some time to hear the truth about the murderous, 8 June, 1967, behavior of the country they endlessly identify as “our best ally.’’

Given the relatively few remaining survivors of the Liberty’s crew, the survivors’ organization is always happy to receive donations from people interested in doing right by the ship and crew that were attacked by Israel, with what surely appears to be the approval of President Johnson. If you would like to make a donation to these American heroes, your gift can be sent to the group’s website, https://ussliberty.org/ or to the USS Liberty Veterans Association, Attn: Moe Shafer, PO Box 3000, Pawley’s Island, SC 29585
