france and the netherlands took the leadership for this fan of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation, and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this roof was the whole tre. practiced by the leading european countries, took away tens of millions of african lives. the organization of united nations class advised the trends atlantics the laser aid as one of the greatest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of people ever seen by mankind.

the forward talking to you all, that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except we're such shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show you alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence . the point obviously is to craig trust, rather than fit the job, i mean with artificial intelligence. we have so many of them in the robot must protect this phone. existence was on the on june 8th, 1967, an over active war was committed against the united states. the combined air and

sea attack against the naval ship us liberty killed. $34.00 sailors wounded another $171.00 and severely damaged the ship. at the time the ship was in international waters, north of egypt and i peninsula. but the aggressor was not egypt. it was not the soviet union for any other country was difficult relations with the united states. it was israel. i am john, carry onto welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 2 2 these really attack on the us us liberty, on june 8th 1967 remains one of the most controversial and confusing military acts of the 2nd half of the 20th century. the attack happened in the midst of the 1967, a war between israel and its arid neighbors, in which the united states was formerly neutral,

is really military leaders said that they would protect the countries coast at all costs. and the pentagon ordered the liberty to keep a safe distance by june 8th, the ship was nowhere near israel. on the morning of the attack is really jets over flew the ship several times. liberty crew members later so. busy that these really planes came so close to the ship that they rattled the deck. the israelis later said that the planes were hunting for egyptian submarines, but it would have been impossible for them not to see that the ship was american and was flying the american flag. but following erroneous reports at 11 24 am that a ship was showing the coast of allowed each. these reading military ordered a strike on the liberty. they did this knowing that the liberty had only for 50 caliber machine guns on it's deck and best could not have shelby coast to at 1 41 pm and is rarely ship reported the liberty in the area. but as an unknown vessel. and these rarely ship reported further that the liberty was travelling at

a speed that would indicate that it was an attack ship is rarely forces were understanding orders to fire on any unknown vessel in the area. and they assumed that the liberty was fleeing after selling a lot, each just before 2 o'clock pm. and is really mirage pilot reported back that he was in visual contact with the liberty. he reported that it was a military vessel with a smokestack and a mast. another pilot said that the ship was a destroyer, and both pilots said disingenuously that the liberty was not flying a flag. at 1 57 pm is really military headquarters gave the pilots permission to attack which they did using 30 millimeter canons and rockets is really torpedo boats approached at 2 35 pm fired missiles and strafe the craft with machine guns. the torpedo attack severely damaged the superstructure of the hall and killed an additional $25.00 men, including most of the ships intelligent section. the machine gun fire was directed

at 1st responders and sailors who were preparing life rafts. these railey military claims that it did not establish the liberties nationality until 3 20 pm when it is rarely surveillance, helicopter saw an american flag flying on the deck, and at 4 pm, 2 hours after the attack began. israel informed the american embassy and telling me that he had had mistakenly attacked us navy ship. the secretary of state dean rusk, bill wasn't buying, is rarely protestations. he issued a statement saying, quote, at the time of the attack, the u. s. s. liberty was flying the american flag and its identification was clearly indicated in large white letters and numerals on its whole experience demonstrates that both the flag and the identification number of the vessel were readily visible from the air. accordingly, there is every reason to believe that the us as liberty was identified, or at least her nationality, determined by his really aircraft,

approximately one hour before the attack. the subsequent attack by the torpedo boats substantially after the vessel was or should have been identified by his really military forces manifests the same reckless disregard for human life and quote. today we are happy to be joined by a survivor of these really attack on the us s liberty field tourney was a young u. s. navy petty officer assigned to the liberty that day. he also is the author of the book. what i saw that day is real as june 8th, 1967 holocaust of us service men aboard the us as liberty and its aftermath. phil, thank you so much for being with us. well, thank you. i appreciate it. proud to be here. take us back to that awful day. we know that many in the crew had just completed the chemical drill. when is really planes begin over flying the ship? tell us about what happened before the attack began. well yeah, it's

a interest to you. you'd bring up the drill allowance and the damage control us and i was heavily involved in that drill. i was in a impregnated suit to protect from chemicals in a biological chemical nuclear warfare. supposedly it was supposed to keep you safe, but who knows? that's what the tell you anyway, but yeah, it was, it was so hot outside, pretending i was working down the ship in a drill. i thought, you know, uh, i'm gonna pass out. it's just too easy. it was excruciating heat, a beautiful, beautiful day played volume, but always fly. they secured from general corps and stowed by gear and went up to what up to the forward gun mount. because the south part phones were working and was ordered by john

scott, my division officer to get the phone work and as soon as possible. and so, um i had a, uh, i assuming that's the person that takes care of, uh, uh, communication, internal communications on the ship davis go lac was assigned to, to come up and do that. and we were looking over at the bank. you know, it is about the, i don't know, 1212 and a half miles away. you can see the black smoke and everything like that. the bombs dropping a weird thing was gladys not us. really. i mean, it was just an unbelievable hood. they were doing what you could see and i left the gun mouth. there was a government there tops and the sco lack. i just walk down that the

starboard letter, which about working area and all hell broke loose. the reply, he's coming at us from stem to stern, from ports to starboard from starboard to port. it was a instant taylor's instantaneous attack. we couldn't tell who was attacking us. every man on deck was either was either hit or dead at a if i wouldn't have got down that ladder when i did and went to my workspace, i wouldn't be here right now. so it was uh it was something that we never expected because we had been identified by israel hours and hours and hours before the attack, as american and friendly. we were always in international waters. we had no idea who was attacking us till later. but the aircraft were black and there were no marketing around the aircraft. they're mist,

ms. steer arised us. doing the attacking. so uh, i can go through a lot of other things, but john, go ahead please. and then these close is really overflights. begin. was there any doubt in your mind that these really pilots knew that the liberty was an american ship? no, john, we didn't have any idea who was attacking us until about 02530 minutes or so at the initial air attack. then we saw this torpedo boats and we recognize the star david on the torpedo boats and we said, oh boy, great, they're, they're coming to help us are coming to help us because that we had stars a david all over that ship inside the ship because we what it is will be the victor in that war across our, our ally and we knew there they were there to protect us. we thought, no, they were set there to say to st. kill every man aboard the ship and it was

a it was a nightmare. our government left us out there alone. in fact, they set us up. our own government set us up, then and now they put the lid on this atrocity. this act of war and war crimes on an innocent crew to it, but the government ordered them do is to spy. we're on the most sophisticated spicy up in the world at that time. the most sophisticated. so that means a lot. and they took out every tuning antenna on the ship. in a matter of seconds, we were left to 1000 pencils. we had no, no way to defend ourselves. of the gun now as for blown to bits are dropped and they palm on us to burn us up. bridge was on fire. it was hell on earth. i can guarantee you that know something. i wouldn't wish of my worst enemy,

john. i just wouldn't do it. the attacking torpedo boats the ever surface cracked the retreat, tucked me to boats with barred. approximately 5 to r p. those at least 5, maybe 6. but the account 5. who knows why they didn't have to to repeat those on each boat. i don't know. it's not, it really doesn't make any difference at this time. they attacked the american ship with surface aircraft. and the low between it we, we only had about a few minutes low between the air attack and then the torpedo attack, they would use machine guns, a machine gun to the side of the ship over and over and over again. it was, it was something that it was something that history is covered up. the navy is covered up because they wanted this all dead to blame the attack on the air stays necessary and particularly because they, they want rid of him. they want to rid of him bad,

and if it took $294.00 american souls to go to the bottom of the ocean and blame it on somebody else, that's what they wanted. but by the grace of god, he kept his upload. we were just as servants that day, but uh, you know, i could, uh, i can say a lot more about faith, but he's given us to pay the fate the carry on for the last 56 years because rather we're not going to allow these people. i'm the current president of the slavery veterans association, is my 4th go around it being the president, and i'm very proud of that. but we will not give up. we will not band, we will not break the scratch. we may is too much you out to us. you know, the world would have been a much different place. john, if this would have taken place like they had planned, they recall that you had aircraft to come help us from us as us, as saratoga,

and the assess america. they re called and left us out there alone. we didn't see any help for 17 hours. a field tourney, we are enjoying this conversation, but we have to take a short break. stay right there. we're speaking with us us liberty survivors, field tourney. after the break, we'll ask how he and his colleagues were rescued hours after the tap stay with us. 2 2 2 2 2 2 the russian states never as one of the most sense community best most i'll send send up the in the 65 to 5 must be the one else calls question about this,

even though we will ben in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the r t. suppose next, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. what question did you say from stephen twist, which is the type of rick sanchez and i'm going to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. what kind of plans are due to have the state department, the c, i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your facts for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do,

don't want my shop to stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, it's not. we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way. instead i. 9 didn't even him dunbar foolish for that still and whistled. nothing i've used to be there on the 5th floor is what i mean. let me let them slide down to the cell on the part of the, of the good stuff, which is subject to the welcome back to the rest of those. i'm john 3 are 2. we're speaking with phil

tourney, a survivor of these really attack on the u. s, navy ship us us liberty. phil, thanks again for being with us. absolutely. it took hours after the attack for these rallies to finally admit what they had done, and then they offered rescue assistance which was declined. i can only imagine the fury that you and your fellow sailors were experiencing. what happened once the attack was over, how are you rescued, and how is the ship finally towed to port? well, the attack was over in approximately 2 hours or maybe a little over, but within that span, but the attack did in then they said flip. carol are carrying helicopters to come finishes up. they had marines ready to board the ship and then there was a message that came down from who i don't know that they admitted they made

a mistake. there was so sorry. and johnson accepted that and then the lid went on, but it was a it was 17 hours before they come, help us. they left us out there hoping we'd say that day we did. we were never towed anywhere. we. we went on our own power these railing, government made a formal apology and finally paid a few $1000000.00 to the families of the dead and a few 1000000 more to the wounded. was that enough? what was the reaction to the apology and to the payments? what else do you think these really should have done? well, the reaction to the payment. okay. there was some in a board there. they've got a fair amount of money, 800200000. i don't know why. most of us got $200.00 or $250.00. we were ordered. we were ordered by admiral issac kid,

so never speak of this again. we end up in prison or worse, that was in the board of inquiry. they concluded that the attack was a mistake. mistaken identity that's nothing could be farther from the truth. that was not a mistaken identity. it was cold blooded, premeditated murder on our ship and our crew that wanted to solve that. yeah, we were scared. i didn't, i didn't say anything about the u. s. s. liberty for oh, uh, 15 years i got divorce for my 1st wife and she was the, every married. and there was an article in the rocky mountain news. i read it about to you assess, liberty that was written by a friend of mine. master chief, stand white and ever says up moment. i've been, i spent every day, every hour, doing something for us as liberty that i can to that mode our ship based die in vain as

a did these young guys 182021 years old. uh and uh oh my god, and they, they, the slaughtered of never blown to bits blow to pieces. something you can't even hardly describe it as a insane. why do you think there's been such an institutional effort to move past the u. s. s. liberty. most americans have no memory of it. most americans don't even know it happened. why don't we talk about it? why don't we commemorate the anniversary of the attack? well it's, it's a, it's a non piece of history, a non piece of naval history, a non piece of american history. hey, it was a mistake here. there's nothing to see here. it was a mistake. you know, the davy said it was mistaken identity. what's, what's there lying, but they were ordered by lpga to find that the attack was, was the mistaken identity. another act of war. uh, i don't blame the public for not knowing about it because it was never,

we were on the front page one day and a 3rd or 4th the other day and then we were just completely gone. there were, there was nothing said about it just went away and if we, if we talked about it or got on our congressmen or senators, they would say it was a mistake and identity. that's what the record says. and we've already done 10 separate investigations. they've never done any of the investigation. they're lied to us or lie to the american people or anybody else. and once we get baldwin throughout the old bunch, you liars, so that listen there, they're protecting israel in there for protecting a cricket, government or government. the just as crooked now as they were 56 years ago in this sense that there's many, many more doubt through history of what governments in the past,

the power of people in those positions. we were nothing but cannon fodder, a board that ship. they didn't care about us, our government didn't care about us. they set us up to be murdered. think about that. a cut a country use for a know to defend them with your life. depended give your life and then our government wants to kill us and then have our best buddy says, we'll do the murdered their hand in hand. they have been offer, so it's 1948, but i want to talk about 1967, june 8th. and what they've done to us then, and now they've forgotten about us. they've called us jew haters. nazis and submitted pigs. anything else you could do to downgrade just to make us feel terrible. we did kill everybody, they did all the kill and tell us where our of yours can learn more about the work that you do and tell us about your book. yeah, we want

a memorial where we are doing it ourselves. we have to do it ourselves because the government won't happens. they will, as i'm telling you. it's uh, it's like, standing in front of a, uh, uh, 18 wheeler and getting run over every day. that's what they take at the crew with us as sliver. yeah. my dad and john that the american legion here in america i has a bad does for life, the bad as for life because one of our guys are to and then all of it and or the gallo wanted a booth at the national convention, they refused it and the gland to our piece of our collision, car fell on one woman and she said he assaulted her. they put him in jail, they put him in jail for one night, got out. i had to play to something to stay out of jail again.

out of state and they had him and they, they were just making it a spectacle of him in the us as liberty. so they hate us. even in the american legion, the higher ups there, they're all politicians, john, all of them. uh, they don't care about the the got the drugs out there, the people who do all the work when they get power. just like being a congressman or senator or president is their power and that's all they care about the investigation. john was there. we never wasn't investigation, never the only investigation they had was a set up one, but by the board of inquiry adviser kid, i might add word boston, who was the chief judge advocate aboard the ship. later in life reported back and said, hey listen, we were ordered to do this. we knew it was a pre meditated attack, but we've lowered by johnson. i'm

a military man and i do what they, they tell me to do. and he told everybody, and i'll get you that documented if you'd like. but he said this was a set up deal and it was never mistaken. k at identity. everybody knew it except the american people. i feel thank you so much for being with us. and thanks to our viewers, i like to close the shows with a quote that is up lifting or perhaps even thought provoking. i like to quote philosophers and learned people from around the world. but today's quote, more appropriately comes from believe george ball, who is the us under secretary of state at the time of the us us liberty incidents. he said, quote, american leaders did not have the courage to punish israel for the bleeding murder of its citizens. the liberties presents and function were well known to his really leaders. israel's leaders concluded that nothing they might do would have fendy

americans to the point of reprisals if american leaders did not have the courage to punish israel for the bleeding murder of american citizens. it seemed clear that their american friends would let them get away with almost anything. i'm john curiosity, thanks for watching the whistle blowers until next time. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 the store not surely wouldn't be the last of the school anyway, not much really what it was that's that's my personal opinion, the frontal and much and it wouldn't be true that comes most of the same shit that will push them. so my total induced to picture, you still have them over when approximately the students over the way 9 that is

a c p low integer due to it here. but it's getting of shape. i'd have a crew to really but get to the my money or the law school or the tilda from me. id comfortable. so she mute them full of semester floor and it was really if the should change your dish such as yourself, because this is the 1st to it always reads and they should more with pleasure. most of more points do it for the, for you to show it to he will for use at the present except that they did when you cause they were made to the georgia. the american daughters are rarely interested in the policy during election cycles, but it said the issue between maybe the exception this time around, particularly among t o p voters, much of the republican base us our w brain policy. they see it is by this for the

on july, the 8th 1941 german troops ended and a stony of from the south, suby and soldiers and civilians for the enemy courageously on the stony and soil, with thousands of casualties. build up the federal home to us wants to, but we are giving you 52 i need, but i'm not sure if our cuter what city of even a z is. the beauty we bought the what is pushing that during the years following the soviet victory, a large number of monuments loveless and burial sites were rented to on of those who had fallen in the wall to get the vs. however, recently, many of them have either been demolished vandalized or completely neglected as a result of those who do their best to preserve once it left to the memory. so as to

prevent rewrite history and re made consciousness profile for the one that goes across the entire body of rick sanchez, you don't have to do a news now for 30 years to languages all over the world. and here in the us and interviewed for president's work that for the u. s. has major television networks been fired by most outgoing, new should be honest and direct and impactful, and this is direct impact. the here's the question for you. why was one of the most important leaders and all of us politics spending so much time in taiwan recently? look,
