operation sign, if i had about it, i had so, what was it, i suggest we stop the interview here, what you say, why you want it?

i am built so and i know exactly what i'm of able to tell you and i know exactly where i stop and here i stop. why would you not be able to speak about operation simonite?

of on june 8th, 1967, news spreads around the world, which wasn't easy to believe, unknown attackers target a us military ship in the mediterranean sea, after world war ii, this was the first time someone had dared to attack the us military.

of april 30th, 1945, when an all-out rivalry broke out between the western allies and the ussr to conquer berlin, soldiers of the red army reached the heart of nazi germany sooner than the americans, with the fall of the city, and adolf hitler committing suicide,

the flames of the horrendous second war in europe burnt out. with all the death and destruction, as world war ii was coming to an end, the two powerful conquerors could raise their flags on. mountains of soil and ashes and reorganize world order the way they wanted to. the eastern powerhouse was the ussr which had the dream of spreading the ideals of communism and saving the masses of the labor force from the oppression of capitalists and on the other side the wealthy western powerhouse meaning the u.s. was standing on the

principles of using capital to create welfare, the ussr was doing... everything in his power to entice the masses toward communist ideals and turn governments into its allies. the telephone was the duty officer in the war room, miss secretary, prime minister kegan. the hotline, he was to speak to the president, so the president came on the line, he said, in effect, god damn it, bob, what are you calling me for at this time in the morning? i said, mr. president, prime minister kesegin's on the hotline, how do you wish to respond? johnson didn't want the situation to turn into a military confrontation with the ussr. he immediately

sent word to moscow that, with the help of the ussr and the un, the us will use any means to put an end to the war. "the telecommunications officers of the ship were trying their best to transmit news of the attack to the sixth fleet and ask them for help, but the noise that the attack jets were sending on the liberties frequencies to transmit communications prevented the transfer of the messages. here's the question i have to ask: who would know the frequencies other than ally? and who was the ally in the war? it was in egypt." it was israel, in the end, one of the liberties transmissions reached the uss america warship, and the commander of the ship issued orders for two us fighter jets to take off to defend the liberty.

first identification was soviet, i said, oh my god, come closer, he came closer and he identified her as a american ship, aside from that, the 5x8 foot american flag, which was flying high above the tallest pole of the ship, didn't leave room for the denial of the american identity of the ship, when the flag the... ship fell due to israeli rocket attacks under orders from the ship's commander, captain mcdonagel, another flag, a bigger one was raised on the ship. even if the israelis denied all these, they couldn't claim that they weren't aware that all ships

and warships of the us navy are gray. the next speculation regarding the attack on the liberty came when..." pressure from the ussr, us forced israel to accept a un-cyfire resolution. but eshkal wanted to attach the goal and heights to the soil of his country before formally accepting the resolution, and this caused speculations that israel got rid the liberty so it could not inform the us of its advances in the golden heights. of course, the only way the us could have found out about israel's advance in syria wasn't only from the liberty. aside from that, even if the liberty were to send word of israel's mischivous activities to the us, israel's reaction shouldn't have been so harsh to try and sink the ship of its friend and ally with

all its members on board, something that could have provoked a military reaction from the us. 20 days after the incident, the committee tasked with investigating the attack on the liberty, prepared a 600 page report and delivered it to the offices of the us naval forces in europe. the report did not include that na-palm bomb was used during the attack and most of the widness testimonies had been left out. i testified uh, like i said, for about two and a half th hours. i didn't know until, i don't remember months later, that the much of my testimony was never recorded. after reviewing the report, rear admiral merlin starling, the us judge,

advocate general of the us navy said, as you know, it's a voluminous document, and one of the things that i initially had difficulty with... and still do is the fact that the very first statement of fact that the court arrived at and presented was this: of evidence combines to indicate the attack on liberty on 8 june was in fact a case of mistaken identity. now that is the sort of thing in this record that i found great difficulty in supporting from the evidence that was included, but the attack was neither a mistake nor attempt to plug the ears of the us. the attack on the liberty was part of secret and complicated operation. communism

was spreading exponentially in the middle east and the us in israel had to stop it and also prevent the arabs in the region from becoming more powerful with the help of the ussr. the soviets were using cables on the bed of the sea to transfer secret intelligence to the egyptians and for the us to know what was. going on between the ussr and egypt, it had to listen in on the intelligence that was being transmitted back and forth. it might have also been doing damage to the cables so that it could cut off the underwater transfer of intelligence between the ussr and egypt. this is how one the most complicated covert operations during the cold war was planned by the us and israel, the covert operation called cyanide. and... i suggest we stop the interview here,

what do you say? why you want it? why would you not be able to speak about operation scienide? signature and... reality to my country, is it very sensitive? i am built so, and i know exactly what i able to tell you, and i know exactly where i stop, and here i stop. two months before the sixth day war between the arabs and israel on april 23rd, 1967. seven, three american submarines were tasked with infiltrating egypt's northern waters in the mediterranean sea and

find out how the underwater intelligence was being transferred. the uss truta, uss amberjack and uss requin slowly and silently went toward the mediterranean to see what was going on down there between the ussr and egypt in the silence of the waters. operation cyanide was a joint israeli american venture using submarines and other covert type uh uh intelligence gathering efforts uh against the uar, but that has logical explanation. the explanation is the uar uh was uh soviet equipped, they had soviet advisers, the soviet union was our arch enemy at the time,

and we were concerned a volatile midiast situation with the soviet problem, we were concerned wherever the soviets showed showed up, and and they had considerable influence in the united arab republic, so there were these joint ventures with israeli intelligence, even though the real battle between the two superpowers was going on underwater in the mediter. without the use of weapons, they were actually at war. one wanted to help egypt and syria get the upper hand in the middle east and destroy israel, and the other was fighting for the victory of israel and the elimination of soviet communism in the middle east. still, direct military confrontation between the two power houses wasn't unexpected at all either. both the soviet union and the united states were looking for excuse with all their might to light the flames of world war ii. because the middle east was the heart of the world's politics and energy supply, rivalry for

superiority in the region was worth any kind of hardship. operation seenide was designed in such a way that after the presence of submarines in egypt's northern waters, the liberty would get close to the region as a deceptive operation. this would allow israel to attack it with its uncolored, unidentified fighter jets and bombit in such a way that nothing would be left of the ship or it. but israel's unsuccessful attack didn't cause the destruction of the ship, also the survival of witnesses, meaning wounded naval officers of the liberty, operation canide was total failure. "if liberty had successfully sunk, then the us could have easily accused egypt for the attack, then it could attack egypt and push nasa out of power and chop down the sappling of communism in the middle east, but when israel failed in sinking the ship, macnemero was forced to recall the planes which had been equipped with nuclear bombs and were in root to cairo. if nuclear weapons

were used against cairo, the ussr would undoubtedly declare war against the us. and a world war would begin so that the horrendous battle of the nuclear powers could decide the fate of the world. the us and ussr were seemingly trying to establish a cease fire and put an end to the six-day war, but in secret, on the battlefield, they were lined up against each other. the ussr had armed egypt and syria to the teeth and was helping... them with intelligence, and aside from helping arm israel, the us did something else too. israel, which didn't even have a reconnaissance plane was able to carry out an extremely meticulous identification operation and destroy the naval forces of his three arab enemies. the extraordinary intelligence help, which turned the tables in favor of israel, was also part of operation sign.

there was a hurry up paint job uh done. to the aircraft to identify them as israeli aircraft so that that they would be in conformance with normal israeli uh normal israeli markings. take a look at the reconnaissance information that israel have, it was published publicly in time magazine life magazine, i think look magazine, that was our work. israelis had no reconnaissance. aircraft and you can't get the detail off of gun cameras that that was in those film. abdunasir knew full well that israel did not take part in the war without american support, but as he was talking about the same issue with the king of jordan, he was not aware that the massad was listening in on their conversation.

i called up and said, what the hell is this? there aren't any american aircraft within 30 within 300 miles of egypt. he said, for your information. they could not possibly have done what they did without help, and that help had to come from you or the british, and we think it was you. the sixth-day war was over and operation sciende hadn't achieved all of its goals. the liberty's wounded crew returned to the us so their country's officials could honor them for surviving the

deadly syanide operation by chance. "the ceremony to award medals always takes place in the white house and by the us president, but captain mcgonigal received his medal of honor an open area in the naval sea systems command headquarters in washington dc without media presence from the defense secretary because at the same moment johnson was busy handing out diplomas to students in the white house. he had in advance written in mcgonigal's award ceremony guidance that due to the sensitive nature of the event, there should be no press coverage of the service. when i received my purple heart and in a

secret ceremony in the captain's office, i was admonished, threat a court marshall, but don't ever tell anyone where you got this, don't ever tell anyone how you got this medal. years later, when the winter of 1998 arrived, captain mcgonigal wrote a letter to president clinton and asked him to speak about the untold truth of the uss liberty incident. before that, during memorial ceremony held in arlington cemetery for those who had been killed in the incident, the captain had said that the time had come for the secrets of the liberty to be revealed. for many years, i had wanted to believe that the attack on the liberty was true. pure error, it appears to me that it was not a pure case of mistaken identity. i think that

it's about time that the state of israel and the united states government provide the crew members of the liberty and the rest of the american people, the facts. of what happened and why it came about that the liberty was attacked 30 years ago today, but the commander didn't have time to get his answer, and three months after writing his letter, he was put to rest in arlington cemetery next to the rest of the crew members of the liberty. the days of the cold war were passing by and the cunning eastern and western superpowers were battling each other in secret and also openly making peace, threatening each other and using a thousand and one plots and deceats to perhaps be able to eliminate their

tenacious rival, and in the end it was as if there was no competition or hostility between them, they would sit across from each other and smile diplomatically. those paying the price for these smiles, conflicts and complicated games were being paid. by innocent people who perhaps had no interest in the games of the powerful or a share of their wins or losses. their only share from these games was the lives they gave without the right to choose or ask questions, so evil forces could set foot on the days left of their lives and climb the ladder of power higher and ever so higher, yeah.
