Plaque Dedicated to USS Liberty is Specific with Historical Fact

34 U.S. servicemen were killed and 73 wounded by the Israeli military in a horrific attack, with no provocation.

(MANISTEE, Michigan) - The USS Liberty plaque was preliminary dedicated by a small group of veterans at Veterans Memorial Park Manistee, MI on October 10, 2014.

The plaque questions the honesty of the American and Israeli governments and hopes it will inform the public as to what happened the day of the attack.

Especially outstanding is the leadership of the Manistee City council which had the courage to place the plaque in open public display and would not let the wording be softened.

Unlike the executive leadership of the American Legion (which supposedly is an organization for veterans) the city council saw the truth of the dastardly and cowardly attack of the Israelis for what it was.

The plaque is bronze and 20"H x 30"W and prominently displayed at the Veteran Memorial Park with bar codes to guide people to the proper websites.

So without the help of the Manistee City Council and Ted Arens and others who helped keep the story of the USS Liberty out there for the public to see. If I were a part of the US Govternment and I knew that the most decorated ship in the US Navy for a single action has been left out and ignored in the history of this country, I would be ashamed, very ashamed.

I believe America is beyond repair at this point. The communist infiltration that began in the early 20th century has finally established itself with such prevalence that now the average American is willing to sacrifice the rule of law and dismiss the one thousand years of political and philosophical lessons that helped James Madison pen the document that prevented domestic tyranny for over 200 years. Here we stand now with a population so ignorant of these lessons and of many other things, so dismissive of limited government and so hostile to personal responsibility and liberty that what lay before us is nothing short of national obliteration, weakened, and prime for opportunistic aggressors to carve away their piece of it. As we enter this new era of profound stupidity I would be remiss to not remind you Bernie Sanders idiots of the horrors that come with authoritarian centralized government that will inevitably be the outgrowth of this movement to the left brought to us by our latin American voters, women, homosexuals, people of color and the treacherous white and Jewish enablers that have usurped our Republic. What is going to happen is a break up of these 'united' states. There's no longer anything united about us and no society left. However, there's still plenty of space available for whole new city states. Think along the lines of what the Amish have done. They operate outside of the system. Any other group can as well. Will you link up with like minded people or will you just be a victim? Good luck to you all, and God speed.

You should be so proud to have such brave and good citizens, to speak the truth and honour those aboard the USS Liberty. I found it deeply affecting to hear Mr. Aarons (sorry if got the spelling wrong) It should give us all the courage to call out the many, many 'false flag' criminal acts which our governments in the UK, US, etc have carried out against their countrymen, and for their own covert interests.

I was A US Navy radioman serving aboard the USS Chickaskia AO-54 the day USS Liberty was attacked. We were ported in Valetta Bay Malta due to Six Day War hostilities. We assumed the radio guard for USS Liberty as it was unable to communicate having had it's antennas destroyed by Israeli aircraft fire. President Johnson, Secretary of Defense McNamara and Admiral McCain were all guilty of TREASON! And McCain's son Senator McCain is USA's #1 War Hawk. Same as it ever was.

Israel also lied about why they started the war. Search on goggle video "Dispelling the Myths About Jews, Israel and Palestine (Part 1)" by Miko Peled

They were killing Egyptian POW's and thought the USS Liberty had witnessed that. In addition this is why LBJ did not run again in 1968, not because of Vietnam, because we were winning and later during TET 1968 it was all but over until the media started lying to America, as they did via "omission" concerning this war crime.

It is nice that people are starting to hear some of the truth about a ruthless country named Israel. Makes you wonder just who they were murdering and why? What did this sailor(s) know that persuaded the Israeli military to target an entire ship just to silence them? Accident my ass.
