How does an American president justify scuttling a brand-new NSA spy ship and sacrificing his own sailors?Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency was defined by deep conflicts of interest and foreign policy entanglements. An implicit agreement existed allowing specific military operations, provided the Golan Heights remained untouched. But when the decision was made to take the Golan Heights anyway, the USS Liberty was on station offshore, intercepting the command communications.Because of intelligence-sharing treaties, those intercepts immediately implicated British diplomatic commitments across the region. It created a massive political bees' nest that Washington wanted eliminated at all costs.Rather than defending the ship, LBJ ordered the Sixth Fleet's rescue aircraft to turn around. The White House chose to suppress the intercepted intelligence and sacrifice American servicemen rather than embarrass an ally. When the state prioritizes political alibis over human life, questioning official narratives becomes a fundamental duty.Watch the raw, unedited interview and survivor testimony here:👉 https://youtu.be/9p_fwC8HvRs?si=nHtZbxO0pAfw7pP9
