Israel attacks the US

-

Got your attention, didn't I?  What's this about?  In June, 1967, during the Six Day War, Israeli war planes attacked and nearly sunk a US spy ship staffed with NSA intelligence gathering personnel. 
Israel calls the attack a horrible accident; a case of mistaken identity. Survivors and conspiracy theorists say that's a load of crap. 
You decide.  I'll deliberately leave out my viewpoint in all this, and instead suggest you read what's being
written about the incident.  Do your own Google searches and read the words on the web sites on the two
sides and make up your own mind.  Here are some links in no particular
order:


Here's one scenario of what might have happened:


A zealous LBJ wanted to do right by Israel, since just 19 years prior, the US had sponsored Israel's very statehood, and he knew in advance of their plans to spank surrounding enemies who'd sworn to push the Jews into the ocean. LBJ nods in blind approval and vows he will know nothing of it. LBJ figured it would be ugly, but he didn't have to know unpleasant details of the gore. But he would later be shocked, for his own people would pay with their lives and dignity for LBJ's wink of an eye.


During this spanking, Israeli leadership learn there's a US intelligence ship lying quietly just 19 miles off the coast, watching the whole bloody mess unfold (like the execution of
Egyptians in an Israeli firing squad). Israel is slightly dismayed (a sentiment LBJ will soon share) at the NSA intrusion, and so tries to sink the snoopy ship to silence it.


It was a knee-jerk response and not well planned, but it had to be done. They'd do damage control and spin a tail of mistaken identity later, but right now, stopping Liberty is priority or there could be a very large audience and a paper trail of evidence against them.


So, despite that Israeli Air Force war plane pilots could plainly see what they were doing, orders to destroy Liberty are delivered and carried out, as dutiful warriors must, without question.


And what could LBJ say? He's all but fighting the Egyptians alongside the Israelis. How could he defend Liberty and not take action against Israel's air force? He had no choice. He had to turn a blind eye to the slaying of his own countrymen or burn in hell for not protecting the chosen ones. It would take generations to repair the damage on Israel's world status if the world knew the truth -- at least the official truth.


So, while commanders of the sixth fleet were sending warplanes to defend Liberty, LBJ turns them back.

  On May 9, 2021 a sergeant with the University City, Missouri Police Dept. detained and demanded the identification of a man after receiving a middle-finger salute. Sgt. Larry Becton approached the man and accused him of "aimlessly walking around" and insisted that he provide ID. "Do you live over here," Becton asked. "It's not an option. Right now you're being detained ... for suspicious activity," the officer said. "I will take you to the station and get your ID," Becton repeated. The suspect, who asked to remain anonymous, asked,  "Is this because I flicked you off?" As Becton demanded the man stand up, presenting his handcuffs, said, "I'm going to put you in handcuffs right now. Go ahead and resist if you want to." He then reached into the man's pocket and fished out his wallet. "For future reference, young man, you don't disrespect the police like that" the police sergeant said. Sgt. Becton

A video posted under the channel name Frank Meadows shows police being scolded for stopping a man walking along a city street. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRjUt3n7Rh0 ) The man, apparently walking to a Walmart in West Des Moines, Iowa, was flagged down by 2 police officers passing by in a marked patrol car. They were joined by another pair of officers shortly thereafter. Officers Brian Ascheman and Jacob Sutton identified themselves when asked. The other two officers, Greg Warren and Clint Ray, appeared to remain silent when asked their names. Ray is the police officer who arrested Keilon Hill for harassment on October 29, 2018 while canvassing.

Teenage migrant worker held for months following questionable police stop in Florida

We as Americans tend to turn the other cheek on undocumented migrants because they contribute significantly to our local economies by depressing labor costs, but the migrants are often mistreated. Back in May, an 18-year-old Guatemalan migrant, gainfully employed by St. Augustine, Florida area agricultural producers, was being detained by a St. Johns County Sheriff's deputy for unknown reasons. Sgt. Michael Kunovich rolled up on Vergilio Aguilar-Mendez, who doesn't speak English, in front of Super 8 Motel, and began questioning him. Kunovich quickly escalated the encounter and began applying physical force against Aguilar-Mendez. During a struggle, Kunovich, a 25-year veteran of SJSO, tased Aguilar-Mendez 4 times. After backup officers arrived and while Aguilar-Mendez was being handcuffed, Kunovich suffered a medical event and was pronounced dead a short time later. Aguilar-Mendez is being charged for his death and has been locked up ever since, even though he had not committed
