Candace Owens recently conducted a controversial long-form interview with Phil Tourney, a survivor of the U.S.S. Liberty incident. The U.S.S. Liberty, a US Naval intelligence warship, was attacked by Israeli jets and torpedo boats during the 6-day war in 1967, resulting in the death of 34 individuals and the injury of 171 others. The attack has been shrouded in controversy, with the official explanation citing it as a case of mistaken identity. However, Tourney and other survivors claim that it was a deliberate false flag operation orchestrated with collusion between the U.S. and Israeli governments.
Tourney’s testimony during the interview with Owens shed light on the events of that fateful day, revealing evidence of Israeli reconnaissance flights monitoring the ship throughout the day. According to Tourney and the Liberty Veteranâs Association, multiple flights by Israeli aircraft were observed circling the ship, indicating a premeditated attack. The U.S.S. Liberty, a signals intelligence vessel, was clearly identifiable in the area, yet it was subjected to a relentless assault by Israeli forces.
The attack, as described by Tourney, was a calculated and devastating assault aimed at incapacitating the ship and its crew. Israeli attack planes targeted the ship with missiles, gunfire, and napalm, resulting in the destruction of vital communication equipment and life-saving resources. Despite the harrowing circumstances, Tourney highlighted the bravery of the crew members who managed to send out distress signals for help.
Perhaps the most shocking revelation from Tourney’s account was the alleged lack of support from top U.S. officials during the attack. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and President Lyndon Johnson reportedly denied assistance to the U.S.S. Liberty, leaving the sailors to fend for themselves for 17 hours before any help arrived. The survivors were then threatened by the government to remain silent about the incident, raising suspicions of a cover-up.
Tourney’s claims have been met with skepticism and accusations of spreading conspiracy theories, with individuals like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk dismissing the attack as a conspiracy. However, Tourney remains steadfast in his pursuit of truth and accountability, challenging those who deny the events of that day.
The U.S.S. Liberty incident remains a contentious and unresolved chapter in history, with the full truth yet to be revealed. The declassification of relevant information could potentially shed light on the true nature of the attack and its implications on U.S.-Israeli relations. Until then, the events of that day continue to be a subject of speculation and debate.
