Topic: Uss Liberty

A deconstruction of claims regarding Israeli influence on U.S. military policy highlights the 1967 USS Liberty incident and General Wesley Clark's "seven countries in five years" memo. The analysis argues that Middle East destabilization was driven by American neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney rather than at the behest of Bibi Netanyahu. Historical clips of Wesley Clark describe a "policy coup" within the Pentagon following 9/11.

The hosts briefly mention the historical USS Liberty incident in the context of current naval deployments. They then pivot to a news report about the Biden administration announcing $7 billion in funding for seven regional "clean hydrogen hubs." The hosts characterize the hydrogen initiative as a massive green energy scam.

Former NSA Director Bobby Inman's career is examined, including his reported anger over the USS Liberty incident. The hosts discuss the NSA's historical recruitment practices, which were once heavily focused on screening for homosexuality. Adam Curry mentions his desire to interview Inman, who currently resides in Austin.

The hosts address listener corrections regarding a previous segment that confused the 1967 USS Liberty incident with the 1964 USS Maddox. John C. Dvorak recalls writing an op-ed about the USS Liberty years ago and receiving strange, angry feedback. They emphasize that while they occasionally make errors during live broadcasts, they strive for accuracy in their analysis of historical events.

Donald Gregg shares a story about Pete McCloskey visiting George H.W. Bush. During the anecdote, Gregg allegedly claims that the Israelis were responsible for sinking a U.S. ship in 1967 (the USS Liberty), which the host interprets as a coded message regarding the Gulf of Tonkin and false flag operations.

BBC journalist Alan Hart's controversial claims regarding Middle Eastern history and the USS Liberty are discussed. Hart, author of a trilogy on Zionism, reportedly alleged Mossad involvement in the September 11 attacks during an internet radio interview. The hosts debate the credibility of these claims while noting Hart's long history as a serious journalist in the region.
