Hi Lew,

I'm sorry if you didn't like the way it was posted, upfront. When you sent me the link, I pretty much posted it as you sent it + a snip from the article... Did you have something else in mind??

Your anger over the event is totally understandable. Those who were not there tend to think of things as a past event that does not concern them. History is written by the victors, even if they are our own lying congressmen or Senators..

TY for this follow-up... Tis posted..

Best,
Lynda

: The posting on RMN doesn't do adequate coverage on this 47th
: aniversary of the event.

: 47 years ago I remember hearing the broadcasts of the replays
: of the transmissions at the time of the attack.

: Those replays came so soon after the attack to be totally
: plausible that they could be remembered, as I am doing now.
: Later 'they' came up with the hurry up cover up we are now
: used to seeing or hearing so 'they' could continue to
: manipulate what we are 'supposed to" remember - and
: that becomes the 'history.'

: I remember hearing the recall of the American jets that were
: on the way to the Liberty.

: I remember the broadcast of some one who heard Lyndon Johnson
: say he "was not going to order any attack on our
: FRIENDS" (caps are my emphasis, not his).

: I remember hearing the Israeli attack leader tell his
: directors that the target was flying an American flag, and
: that the response was to continue the attack.

: I remember the lack of effective reporting afterwards, the
: propaganda machine trying to overcome its blunder.

: I remember the shock and surprise among us 'ordinary folks'
: and among those who couldn't believe what they were
: hearing'

: Lies don't go away, but they may be covered up with so much
: poo-poo del toro that the next generation will never know
: what happened.

: We need to keep that in mind when we will soon get the
: obligatory hoo-rah for the American Flag on June 14.

: We need to keep that in mind when we will soon get the
: obligatory hoo-rah for the 4th of July. Woops, that is
: really Independence Day, not just an excuse for fireworks,
: hot dogs, and three-legged races.

: We just went through what we observe as Memorial Day. Turned
: into a testimony for the deaths incurred as a consequence
: of war.

: We need to make that more of a teaching moment to memorialize
: the deaths, of course, but memorialize even more the
: manipulation by those who promote the wars while ensuring
: their own distancing of their own deaths, while benefiting
: from the deaths of so many others.

: J'accuse!!

: The elected officials who talk but don't express a backbone.

: The elected officials who duck responsibility for their
: actions.

: The people who vote that have no memory of our history of all
: the times we have been conned, while having to experience
: the crocodile tears of those who set up the con.

: Those of us on RMN who spend more time talking/communicating
: with each other rather than educating and helping those who
: not yet awake to get their sXXt together.

: For themselves. For their children. For ours. For us.

: The Liberty is only one of the many times we have had the wool
: pulled over our eyes.

: We need to remember all the other times too. Remember them so
: we will simply say STOP to the continuing destruction of
: the reality of what we have become compared to what the
: rest of the world was able to think about us.

: I'm proud to be an American.
: I'm damned mad to have been sold out by those who are not.
: I'm damned mad that my children are not likely to be able to
: say the same. Or my grandchildren. Or my
: great-grandchildren. Or those to come along later.

: My name is Lew Levenson
: I live in Payson, Arizona
: I retired from the U.S. Navy after 30 years of service
: I'm 85 years old.
: I have no apologies for those who may have been offended by my
: remarks.
