Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on May 16, 2025, this speech was delivered by Mr. Phil Tourney, who was serving on the USS Liberty when it was attacked on June 8th, 1967, by Israeli air and sea forces. The attack was designed to drag the United States into the Israeli-Arab war on Israel's side.

The plan was that the relatively unarmed 'Liberty', a Belmont-class technical research ship, was supposed to sink, along with all hands, but the gallant men and the 'Liberty' were too tough to succumb. There's strong evidence that this evil plan involved high-ranking U.S. military and government officials, leading right up to the White House Oval Room.
