| forwarded: http://home.cfl.rr.com/gidusko/liberty/ here's a congresswoman with some guts jp ----------------- Forwarded Message: Subj: Some Good News for USS LIBERTY Supporters from John Hrankowski Date: 6/6/02 11:23:15 PM Pacific Daylight Time This was introduced today in the Congressional Journal by Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney from Decator Georgia. She did a great job with it and we should let her know it. I worked with her staff on this and they got it right. John SKI Mr. Speaker, I speak to commemorate and recognize the tragic attack that took place against the U.S.S. Liberty on June 8, 1967. Although thirty-five years have come and gone since this historic event, the survivors of the U.S.S. Liberty are still struggling with the fact that their story has never been heard. While there has never been an official investigation into this event, we have learned from survivor accounts that for over 75 minutes the Israeli Defense Forces attacked the U.S.S. Liberty, killing 34 American soldiers and wounding an additional 172. With over 85% of the crew either dead or wounded, they somehow managed to keep the ship afloat after being hit by over 1000 rounds of rocket, cannon, machine gun, napalm hits, and even a direct hit from a torpedo. This unprovoked attack took place in international waters, and by a trusted ally. The only explanation given to the survivors and their families as to why this attack took place was that it was an accident and that their ship was not identified as being American, regardless of the fact that our flag was proudly flown throughout the attack. Unfortunately, that explanation is not good enough for those whose lives have been impacted by this attack, and it should not be good enough for the American people. Let's not wait another thirty-five years before we provide the survivors of the U.S.S. Liberty an official investigation into why this attack took place and allow them to tell their story. We owe them more than a debt of gratitude for their sacrifice; we owe them the truth. | |  | | sharkman | | Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2002 4:37 pm Post subject: thank you... |

Subj: Re: DID YOU SEE THIS? this is excellent news as i so much appreciate you sending this through to me... i have been sending email about the uss liberty attack and israeli spying in the usa to cynthia mckinney's press secretary who is ms. dana mott... so i wonder if my email has made a difference at all... i just sent her another email about the uss liberty attack a few days ago in how the uss liberty surviving crew members have been trying to get a hearing in which they could testify for years to no avail.. who sent the above referenced article.. did you get it from the uss liberty list? again, thanks so much for sending it.... of course, no surprise how nothing of the above made it into the news either... i hope my contacts will post such to the various international community message boards.. | |  | | anon | | Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2002 9:09 pm Post subject: USS Liberty |
| | Monday 10 June on BBC Four (TV) there is a program that claims it will uncover the truth behind USS Liberty. On at 8pm or maybe 10pm. | |  | | sharkman | | Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2002 9:20 pm Post subject: thank you.... |
| | thanks for letting me know such... i bet we will never see it in the usa though.... would very much like to get a tape of that.. i will let some of the uss liberty crew members know in case they have friends in the usa.. however, they probably already know if they have been interviewed in that documentary... | |  | | Mike Weeks | | Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2002 12:17 am Post subject: Congresswomen badly misinformed - Re: USS Liberty |
| Before Ms Cynthia McKinney decided to speak she should have done just a bit of fact-checking. That is ... "Mr. Speaker, I speak to commemorate and recognize the tragic attack that took place against the U.S.S. Liberty on june 8., 1967." Is fine, accurate and well-meaning. However when she continued ... "Although thirty-five years have come and gone this historic event, the survivors of the U.S.S. Liberty are still struggling with the fact that their story has never been heard." One wonders where's she's been all these years? "never been heard"? Ever since Ennes wrote that book, and even a few years prior, "their story" has indeed been "heard." The problem is that "their story" doesn't appear to be factual - but regardless of that small, and often overlooked detail, indded "their story" has been "heard."

| | No, that congresswoman did not stand up "with guts" to address the non-existant "uss liberty" issue, what she did was stand up and announce her resignation. There is no place for hatemongers in Congress. She is simply another anti-semite who somehow slipped through the congressional ranks and is now using an age-old myth to fan the flames of hatred amongst the uninformed and the ignorant. She is trying to use the hatred of a minority population as leverage for personal gain, and she will not succeed, because this is against everything our great nation stands for. The American people simply will not stand for this, especially at time of heightened patriotism like we have today. | |  | | m2jranch@earthlink.net | | Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2002 2:55 pm Post subject: Speech in support of USS LIBERTY by Congresswoman McKinney |
| Although I do not reside in Georgia, I would most definitely cast my ballot for Ms McKinney. It's possible that her strong words of support may turn some others' thoughts to the much needed Congressional Investigation into the unwarranted Israeli attack upon the USS LIBERTY. It's great to know that at least SOME members of our Congress have not been cor- rupted by Israel. | |  | | Guest | | Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2002 4:28 pm Post subject: |

| in my prior post referenced above, i meant to say if the surviving uss liberty crew members have any friends or family in the uk that might want to see the upcoming bbc documentary... anyway, mr. meeks has no credibility in that he is a known pro-israeli "truth distorter" as his antics have also been known by the surviving uss liberty crew members for quite some time, and i have seen his posts attempting to (unsuccessfully) "discredit" the uss liberty surviving crew members by calling the attack a case of "mistaken identity" or similar which it most certainly was not! however, pro-israeli spinners like mr. meeks apparently have more allegiance to israel (while continually trying to cover the rogue state's treachery against the usa) rather than seeking to finally get justice for the 34 american sailors (with 171 more injured) who were brutally slaughtered by the israelis in the very intentional and savage israeli attack on the uss liberty... the uss liberty attack is not the first act of israeli treachery against the usa. i suppose mr. meeks also tries to distort the truth about the lavon affair as well... like the attack on the uss liberty, the lavon affair has been successfully (for the most part) covered up by the pro-israel media and government in the usa... however, david duke (even though i don't agree with the racisim that he has been accused of) eloquently mentions the treacherous lavon affair and uss liberty attack as well in the following article (as any patriotic american should be aware of both by completely reading the article): http://www.davidduke.com/writings/howisraeliterror.shtml if mr. meeks is so "convinced" that the deliberate and savage israeli attack on the uss liberty was a case of "mistaken identity" or similar as he feebly tries to claim, then why won't israel release documents about the attack that have been classified for years... what is israel hiding.. perhaps israel is waiting for the surviving uss liberty crew members to finally die-off as killing them all was the intent of the attack in the first place (along with sinking the uss liberty while trying to make it look like egypt was the culprit with a similar motive to what happened in the notorious lavon affair which is mentioned in the above referenced duke article). also, if the uss liberty attack was such a case of "mistaken identity", then why did admiral moorer think that such mention was nonsense as you can read his letter which is included at http://www.ussliberty.org? also, why has the pro-israel lobby, government and media in the usa successfully prevented the the surviving uss liberty crew members from having an opportunity to personally testify in front of congress as to whether the attack was intentional which it most certainly was? with such israeli treachery against the usa like the lavon affair and the uss liberty attack, one can not rule out that the israeli mossad and similar might have known about the 9/11 wtc beforehand and didn't tell the usa... if the cia knew about at least two of the 9/11 hijackers before the attack, then the israeli mossad most likely knew about them as well since i assume that the mossad and cia share information.. i don't know how much at the following web site is credible, but the articles about israeli espionage within the usa are most interesting as at least one mentions that israeli mossad agents were living in apartments not far from where the 9/11 hijackers were living in florida as another article there mentions that at least six israeli nationals were arrested after they were reported to have been cheering as they watched the wtc towers come down): http://www.whatreallyhappened.com keep in mind that one primary goal of apparent extremist zionists like mr. meeks is to keep american taxpayers duped (via a corrupted pro-israel lobby "bought" us congress) into continually flowing billions and billions of dollars to their beloved israel each year (such facilitates the brutal israel oppression of the palestinian people which in turn contributes to the arab world's anger of the usa that contributes to the usa's domestic terrorism problem like the 9/11 wtc attack as this aspect is also addressed in the above referenced duke article)... so the american public finding out about the israeli treachery of the lavon affair and us liberty attack goes against the interest of those zionists because most americans would not be in favor of perpetuating such vast financial support to israel if such treachery were to become widely known by the american public... so israeli spinners like mr. meeks (some even paid by the pro-israel lobby and/or by pro-israel "truth distorter" groups like camera at www.camera.org) try to "discredit" anyone who knows the extent of israeli treachery against the usa and britain as well ... and they make it their apparent "mission" in prowling the internet (which the zionists don't completely control yet!) to make sure that the american public doesn't realize the extent of such israeli treachery... for now, the pro-israeli "truth distorters" like mr. meeks and the us media and government still have many americans believing that the "emperor has clothes on".... | |  | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
