00:11:06.940So Phil, Phil Turney, it just says his name twice on X, Phil Phil Turney and philturney.com and the new book that I just started reading, Stay Afloat, From That Day to Today, and people can find that at philturney.com and more.
00:11:22.320and he wants to get into a bunch of topics.
00:11:26.180Was the USS Liberty clearly identified?
00:18:47.820You guys are deployed right for when it starts,
00:18:50.640and then you were meant to be sunk, and then from what I've been told,
00:18:53.280blamed on Egypt as a pretext to go to war with Egypt,
00:18:56.080and they thought Russia would come in and we'd be in a full war, correct?0.54
00:18:59.780Absolutely. You're absolutely correct on that. And us not sinking, Alex, saved millions of lives. Innocent people have been slaughtered if we sank. And that was the whole plan. It was nothing but a land grab then, just like it is now.1.00
00:19:19.400Wow, how historic. And you were there. Please continue. There's so many places to go. Where should we go next with this?
00:19:29.780Well, there's the Alcazir, and there's the USS Liberty.
00:19:35.280And that's what they said we were, the Alcazir, an old horse transport that was docked in
00:23:02.420Absolutely. You know, I always think, I go back and I think about LBJ was first and then the USS Liberty and on and on, Alex. And you're probably one of the smartest guys around.
00:23:20.900And I respect you and trust your vision and what you say.
00:23:29.360And what do you think, what is the best way for us to conduct ourselves going forward?
00:23:37.580Well, I'm smart enough to know that I don't have all the answers, but I think what you're doing in Congress, what you're doing with the films, the books on air, this is an idea whose time has come.
00:23:48.780people weren't ready for this. They were very naive. So you've had to wait 59 years.
00:23:53.940And I think it's calling on the American people to understand that the same system in our
00:23:58.100government, the Israeli government, that were heavily involved killing JFK, getting us into0.85
00:24:03.640all these other wars, using the same tricks, like a Gulf of Tonkin, that Israel is not going to give0.73
00:24:08.860up dragging us into World War III with Iran and then Russia and others. So it's really a life0.90
00:24:14.980and death situation currently to expose what happened to the U.S.'s liberty, even though in
00:24:19.820some court of law, they're not going to get convicted. In the court of public opinion,
00:24:24.000they will to then inoculate the public to understand the major threats we face now.
00:24:29.080I mean, I think what you've already said, the fact is it's you open with, look at them openly
00:24:33.420sabotaging the peace. Look at them dragging us into this war. Look at how it's killing the world
00:24:37.880economy. I mean, I think you've hit on it is that we have to explain to people that
00:24:42.140this is the government, the regime that's being used by our own deep state to control our government.
00:24:48.780And so this is a pertinent front burner issue right now.
00:24:53.020I mean, I think that's really the articulation that needs to be made.
00:26:05.080Well, part of getting the truth out of people reading this book and watching the film we just showed a clip of, where's the best place for people to get the book?
00:26:13.620To get the book, the best place to get it, if you want a signed copy, is just go to philterneypodcast.com.
00:26:20.720You get a signed copy, or you can get it on Amazon.
00:29:41.980So this time, they actually set it up with their little gallant ally to attack it, but then it wouldn't sink, and imagine how embarrassing that was internally in the Navy, and then since then, and then all that went in to covering that up.
00:29:59.160So, head of the USS Liberty Survivors Association, author of Stay Afloat, from that day to today, 59 years to finally see some justice, at least in the public, come out.
00:30:12.140The attempts to suppress this have just, I mean, nobody knew about the liberty 40, 50 years ago, very few.
00:30:17.560Then 30 years ago, some, 20 years ago, a lot, 10 years, but the Internet, people learning about this.
00:30:22.960And now with your book and these films and Congress and all of it, now that people are discovering what you lived through and then discovering all the subsequent crimes to cover things up, what is your gut-level prediction?0.70
00:30:38.780I mean, I only see this getting bigger in light of Israel trying to keep us in these wars because, again, it's all interconnected.0.68
00:30:44.840And then tell us about Admiral Moore's commission.
00:30:47.380yeah uh it was a more commission that he uh had uh generals and admins uh look over it
00:31:02.340and it was an independent investigation and they came up with the fact that there was no way
00:31:08.020in god's green earth it was mistaken identity and admiral moore has said over and over again
00:31:14.580and he wants the Congress to investigate it.
00:31:59.840So that's how powerful this AIPAC Congress is.
00:32:06.420and, regrettably, our AIPAC president that has covered up everything from day one since he got into office.
00:32:21.060You know, I thought everything was going to be different with him, but I was wrong.
00:32:25.200And I want to speak more to that in a moment, but just back that up, that image of Captain McGonigal,
00:32:31.960talking about what a great guy he was and talking about the attack.
00:32:33.800I want to go back to this because if Israel was telling one of the top commanders in the U.S. military, later the chairman of the Joint, do you worry about Congress?
00:32:48.260Now it's way greater, and now they brag they own us.
00:32:51.500I mean, just the arrogance of this.0.77
00:32:53.780Well, let's cover Israel now and then get back to Captain McGonigal and what he thought about this and obviously wish he was still here today.0.89
00:33:00.680But, I mean, obviously, do you agree with me that Israel's power over us is much greater than it was then?0.83
00:33:07.920It is a million times more powerful.0.93
00:33:10.600If they could get by with murdering Americans on the high seas, they can get by with anything.
00:33:16.780And that's what they're doing right now.
00:33:19.240So the American public has got to understand and know, and I see it happening every day, and I'm sure you do too,0.90
00:33:28.400that they're starting to wake up because we're not built to be genocidal maniacs like Israel is.0.80
00:33:40.240And the people are worried, and they're frightened for other people's lives, at least I am,0.78
00:33:46.440and many others in Gaza and Lebanon and what they're doing.
00:34:37.180And I'm afraid about what's going to happen in the future.0.82
00:34:39.720Maybe today, tomorrow, whenever Israel says for America to jump, I still think they're going to jump.
00:34:47.300I think Netanyahu and Epstein's got them all wrapped up.0.66
00:34:52.020And then now Trump on the surface is saying, oh, Netanyahu keeps the war going, it's his fault, looking for an off-ramp.
00:34:57.380I mean, I hope that's for real from Trump, but a microcosm of this is political correctness.
00:35:03.280You have Austin Metcalf stabbed to death for no reason, and then it turned out, because they did this,
00:35:09.560they gave an award at the graduation ceremony to Carmelo Anthony and gave him his diploma
00:35:19.520and then basically said nice things about him and they knew that was so the family said hey
00:35:23.760will you say something nice about our son in remembering him the school said no your son
00:35:28.360will not be mentioned so he's a guy that's murdered he can't be mentioned and now the
00:35:32.440convicted killer is a is a hero and and so for you guys you're attacked your buddies die you go
00:35:37.940through all this you're threatened you know the truth it comes out and then you're there and
00:35:42.540there's really flags everywhere and people act like you've done something bad they act like you0.95
00:35:46.880took a shit on the floor or something it's just upside down world it is an upside down world and0.90
00:35:53.460how did we get there you know it's you know i was all in favor of israel uh even during the attack0.99
00:36:00.660uh because we didn't know who was attacking us it was unmarked yet aircraft we thought it was
00:36:06.100the arabs doing it but uh we didn't find out who was attacking this until the torpedo boats got0.50
00:36:13.800there and we thought oh here they're they're coming to help us thank god and no they weren't1.00
00:36:19.440there to help us they were to murder they were going to murder the rest of us but they he just
00:36:24.400couldn't get the job done with a 25 minute attack or more from the air and an hour and a half of
00:36:33.200torpedo boats strafing burning using our firefighters and everybody and i was i was part of
00:36:41.260that crew but uh that wasn't it they they brought over troop carrying helicopters alex to finish the
00:36:50.760job they were going to scuttle the ship kill us all scuttle the ship and still blame it on
00:36:57.020uh the arab states and us not sinking uh was a miracle we all knew it that was another question
00:37:06.580Why the helicopters with the Marines, if I remember correctly, why did they not go ahead and carry out the attack at the end there?
00:37:16.120I believe, and I think most of my crewmates believe, they confessed too fast that they mistakenly attacked a flagged American ship.
00:37:28.880If they had just waited and not said anything to anybody, they could have went ahead and finished this off easy.
00:37:36.580But they got caught with a message that was sent out, and they said, yeah, it was us, but they didn't figure that would ever happen.
00:37:48.960I mean, how could this old ship, a World War II victory hold ship, with 294 souls aboard, turned into the most sophisticated spy ship in the world, withstand what we withstood, over 850 cannon rocket holds, over 5,000 armor-piercing bullets, napalm burning stuff, 40 by 40 foot old torpedo side of the ship.
00:38:18.960And we didn't sink. It's a miracle by the grace of God.
00:38:24.200And then it came out, because I remember being told this by the admirals and people before they died, that indeed they had nukes in the air.
00:38:30.620They were getting ready to use the strike on you guys as the pretext to just start a war.
00:38:36.160And they believe the Russians, this is Operation Northwoods 2.0, that plan was to attack Cuba, attack our bases first, and Cuba did it, attack inside the U.S., and Cuba did it, to lure the Russians into full war.
00:38:46.140But by the grace of God, Kennedy saw through that, shut that down, so they killed him.
00:38:51.460But, I mean, if they had sunk you guys, we would probably have a totally different history right now.
00:38:55.820I do think the hand of God was on that ship.
00:45:34.440the ship's company because it was secret, and they had to peel the pieces of those bodies out
00:45:41.560and put them in bags and try to figure out who they are. We got a mass grave in Arlington that
00:45:49.840has our mates there that they couldn't identify. Is it really all them? I hope it is.
00:45:57.780pieces of them, but at least they got memorialized in Arlington, and we go there quite often to
00:46:05.140give thanks for their sacrifice, and that's what this is all about,
00:46:09.620is their sacrifice and America's sacrifice. And I'm here to tell you that get us in front
00:46:17.300of Congress and let us testify. If you think we're liars, put us in prison for the rest of our lives.
00:46:26.080If you can prove reliant, and I'm telling that to all of Congress, especially Randy Fine and Crenshaw and the rest of the AIPAC plunkies in the Congress, help us instead of helping Israel, help us heal, help America heal.
00:46:44.680But they won't do that. They won't give us that. Alex, why won't they give it to us? Because Netanyahu and his – back to Levi Askel, the one that cohorted with LBJ, that frickin' snake to kill us all. Is that what our lives are worth, to be sacrificial lands for the government of Israel? I don't think so.
00:47:08.060well a lot you know israel's gotten so much power now that they're the most unpopular country in0.82
00:47:13.860the world the whole world's turning against them when they try to say oh are you for the radical0.78
00:47:18.460muslims no we're not for that we didn't create a mosque like israel or fund them or stand on0.71
00:47:22.220october 7th or put the head of al-qaeda along with turkey in charge of syria two years ago
00:47:27.800no no we know israel is way more sophisticated than even the general public does but more and
00:47:33.700the public gets it israel's moved on now from just blowing up ships to blame somebody else0.56
00:47:38.120now they literally fund and and and finance the islamic terror groups they don't they don't run0.63
00:47:44.680them but they finance them and then and then when they attack they they they use that as a pretext0.75
00:47:49.300to attack and blow up 30 plus thousand homes conservatively of christians in lebanon and just
00:47:55.600six months ago israel said oh that's a conspiracy theory we're not going to take southern lebanon0.81
00:47:58.940now they've blown all the bridges up blown up all the churches and they say yeah we're taking it and0.54
00:48:03.560were never pulling out. They told Trump, no, we're not leaving. So now Israel's going to take
00:48:07.440Christian Lebanon. I mean, this is just, now they're taking, they've burned out the last0.98
00:48:12.040Christian settlements in the West Bank. I saw that, and I can't believe that,
00:48:22.740well, I can believe they did it because they don't care about human life, especially Christian lives.0.97
00:48:29.700And you see how they've mocked Mother Mary.0.98
00:58:00.800What else do you think should be imparted to listeners about this historic event?
00:58:06.300And just at the same time, thank God it's finally exploded.
00:58:10.760Because, you know, it's been building for a while, but obviously it's really broken out there.
00:58:15.020I know the question for this short segment, because I know a bunch of other people that have been involved in this have been threatened and things.
00:58:20.060What pressure have you ever been put under or other U.S.'s liberty survivors by different angles of the Israel lobby or others to shut up?
01:01:16.940Phone calls, everything you can believe.
01:01:19.600I've had my computers hacked, burned up.
01:01:22.480I mean, I had to buy new computers that were so badly trashed, but I keep on because it's my duty as an American.1.00
01:01:30.100You don't leave your brothers behind dead, slaughtered by a foreign government, and then your old government tells you to shut up about it like it never happened.0.98
01:01:38.560Well, I'll tell you, I mean, this phone box, we never had a phone box do this.1.00
01:05:46.680I had been married to my wife about a year.
01:05:48.220I never told her I was even in the military.
01:05:51.820And I come home with this and told her.
01:05:55.280And she's backed me ever since that day.
01:06:00.440She believed me and stood behind me the whole time.
01:06:05.220And thanks to Stan White, 42 years ago when I read that and became a member, a founding member of the LVA, Liberty Veterans Association, my life completely changed because it took a weight off my back, Alex.
01:06:26.840i can't tell you what it did to me it gave me wings and uh it tells the truth not to forget the
01:06:36.04034 in fact i got a tattoo right here i don't know if you can see it of the 34 men yes sir slaughtered
01:06:44.280that day because they've been in my heart all my life i've never forgot them so i decided well i'm
01:06:53.160I'm going to put them on the outside of my arm so everybody would know.0.51
01:06:56.800And on the other side, it says, USS Liberty, slaughtered by Israel, June 8, 1967.0.92
01:07:05.360There's no other way to put it because it was a slaughter.0.82
01:10:00.540I bet she really knew you were telling the truth
01:10:02.600when she saw that happen oh absolutely absolutely absolutely she did you know uh behind every good
01:10:11.380man is a good woman or are they in front of you but i'll tell you what uh thank god for putting
01:10:17.740women on this earth to one of the greatest gifts you ever have is a is a loving trusting faithful
01:10:24.680wife and uh i've got one i had one for the last 43 years i'm very in fact our anniversary is coming
01:10:31.320up Friday. And we're going to spend time in Dallas with my son and his wife and my grandkids
01:10:40.900to celebrate our 43rd anniversary. Well, congratulations. So
01:10:46.080I've noticed with my family being threatened, I've had the globalist deep state threat in my
01:10:52.420family too. It only made our family stronger. I mean, people don't like being threatened and
01:10:56.420And it's scary, but I don't know why they think messing with good people is going to work.
01:11:02.260And in my experience, people were only asleep because they never really seen it up front.
01:11:06.720When most people, I think, now get confronted with the evil, they might get scared at first, but then they start thinking, I don't want to live my life bowing down.
01:12:27.140This is Kyle Serafin, who is a super respected FBI whistleblower.
01:12:31.320So much what we know with Biden and with Trump is because of this guy and his sources.
01:12:35.480And he was never, you know, an anti-Israel guy either.
01:12:38.160But he totally agreed with me yesterday.0.98
01:12:39.900He said, now Israel's the big elephant in the room, the gorilla on our back.0.71
01:12:43.100And he's talked to high-level folks in current intelligence that say it is bad.0.67
01:12:48.660and that they've got a whole other category of just intelligence for Israel
01:12:52.560that more and more is just being used.
01:12:55.160And then like we talked about earlier, they've got this National Defense Authorization Act
01:12:58.440that says coordinate, merge, synchronize, you know, all of it real time.
01:13:05.160I mean, this is Israel, and, quote, Netanyahu's plan, he admits he wrote the subsection 224.
01:13:10.740Here was Kyle Serafin's response. It was a few minutes long last night.
01:13:14.480I don't care about Israel at all. It's a non-factor.0.51
01:13:17.960However, if Israel continues to shove it in my face that they're able to buy elections, that they're able to throw enough money at somebody that they can overturn a House primary and make it the most expensive primary in history.
01:13:29.320If they're going to go out there and openly lobby for things, and I very recently had a conversation with a member of the intelligence community, somebody who's about ready to retire, and the statement that I got was so unsettling.0.54
01:13:39.840I didn't ever see a dissemination control.
01:13:43.240When you have classified documents, they basically give you the level of classification, and then they have what's called dissemination controls.
01:13:49.680And so it might be unclassified, but you can only disseminate to law enforcement or official use.
01:13:54.300It may be secret and no foreign, which means no foreign government gets it, or it's secret, and you can do what's called – it says rel to, release to.
01:14:01.680And you can release it to certain groups, whether it be the Five Eyes or different countries.
01:14:05.160and there's a category underneath at least our secret um classification that allows for release
01:14:11.560to the united states and israel only and it's specific information that only goes to those
01:14:15.520partners it doesn't go to the brits it doesn't go to the the kiwis it doesn't go to the aussies
01:14:19.480it doesn't go to the uh you know the canadians it's only to israel and i'd never seen that when
01:14:24.480i was working the fbi i didn't even know it was a real thing and i brought it up with an
01:14:27.380intel community member said is this real like i read about it i see it's in the guidebook that
01:14:31.840for you know lists out the classifications do we use this and the statement came back to me
01:14:37.740yes and far more frequently than i'm comfortable with and so we do crazy amounts of information
01:14:44.620sharing but at the same time you listen to people that have come out of the cia that have come out
01:14:48.420of you know nsa that have come out of these dia and they say the israelis come in and they're
01:14:53.760always spying on us they're always trying to spy on us i've got buddies that were in law enforcement
01:14:58.780like federal law enforcement that were doing overseas work they were going to you know other
01:15:02.900countries and sometimes they do a landing so you know in tel aviv or in jerusalem and they said when0.99
01:15:07.080they were switching planes there they would have beautiful women come up and do what's called a
01:15:10.560bump on a regular basis they would try to bump and recruit our guys that are you know they're
01:15:14.780all cleared personnel but it doesn't mean they're working on sensitive stuff because the israelis
01:15:18.400are constantly working against us honeypot stingrays breaking into things kiriyaku talks about
01:15:24.140call them a frenemy they're a frenemy at best and so when i keep hearing politicians come out and
01:15:28.880say they're our greatest ally they're our greatest ally and obviously someone is writing this pr
01:15:33.180garbage and then the second thing that you see them always doing is conflating the the presence0.66
01:15:38.120of american jewish people and then if you were to say something about uh you know about israel0.98
01:15:43.900then you're somehow anti-semitic because they've basically conflated the religious nature or the
01:15:48.700race of the people and the people that live in a foreign country to me that's bizarre i grew up over
01:15:53.340and overhearing, Alex, you probably did too.
01:15:55.380Israel's an amazing place. It's the only liberal democracy
01:15:57.500in the Middle East. It's the only place where Christians1.00
01:15:59.220and Muslims and Jewish people can all1.00
01:16:01.320live together, and they're all represented in the government, and blah, blah,0.70
01:18:56.880We've got about five minutes to break, sir, listening to Kyle Serafin talk about what he's hearing from his intelligence sources about what Israel's up to.
01:21:55.580It literally says fuse, integrate, live time, other, and it's the definition of, guys, look at the definition of entangle versus synchronize, fuse, integrate.
01:22:12.280Entangle just means part of it's tied up.
01:22:15.160Integrate, fuse, live time, that means, they say synchronize, that means simpatico.
01:22:22.460I mean, that means we are married to this, and that's a bunch of Jonathan Pollard's, it says the special agent, only reports the Secretary of Defense and the President, and literally no other, not the Joint Chiefs, not the head of the Army, Navy, cannot question any order they give them.
01:22:48.020You see that letter he wrote to the committee, thanking him for his plan being implemented?
01:22:52.460Yes, I did. And it's insulting. It's insulting to even entertain it. And for Cotton to bring that up, I mean, he should be hung. He's a traitor. Everybody that puts the Israeli flag ahead of the red, white, and blue, we love this country.
01:33:21.040And then if you're religious or have some kind of form of Christianity,
01:33:24.720even more so because that's where, you know, Jesus grew up in that area.
01:33:33.100So there's a sense of allegiance towards them,
01:33:37.360but they've conditioned us since we were children to think that way.0.87
01:33:41.440And even though all of these things seem overnight, like this epiphany of, oh, my gosh, how does Israel have us in a chokehold? It's happened for many years, and it's not going to happen overnight where we can, you know, get out of their grasp.0.76
01:34:00.880and unfortunately like through voting i've lost faith in voting i mean here in california we
01:34:08.520voted for bianchi and he didn't make the cut and it's it's i feel like the only way we can
01:34:15.720make a difference is in our households with our loved ones our children you know and our spouses
01:34:19.720and hopefully our friends well exactly we definitely can make the individual choices
01:34:23.000morally ourselves in our lives and because there is fraud in elections you don't not be involved
01:34:27.460to get more involved, to expose it, that's the process.
01:34:49.260I was conditioned as a child going to school, you know, about Israel.
01:34:57.460and the Holocaust and how badly they were treated and everything else.
01:35:05.260And their conditions that way, we were, all of us were.
01:35:08.760But now that conditioning is wearing very thin.
01:35:13.940You weren't supposed to learn about the USS Liberty in any school, not even now.
01:35:21.060But it should be required reading about the USS Liberty and why and what for it happened in all schools,
01:35:31.380even in grade school, high school, and college.
01:35:37.140It should be taught a college course about the USS Liberty and the implications they could have aroused from that in a nuclear war.
01:35:48.120It's very important for America to understand.
01:35:51.000It's very important for the world to understand how close we came to a nuclear, terrible war that would change the whole world that we live in right now.
01:36:05.720And Phil, elaborate on that, people that weren't there in 67 like you were in the Mediterranean off the coast of Israel.
01:36:11.220What war was going on, what the plan was, how it could have caused nuclear war and how we had nuclear bombers in the air?
01:36:17.160Yeah, well, it was a six-day war. We got there, I think, on the fourth day of the war. And the implications of nuclear tip bombs, airplanes in the air to sacrifice millions for the greater good of Israel.
01:36:41.400You have to remember, this is all pre-planned, the Greater Israel Project, which is going on right now.0.58
01:36:50.960And everybody sees it, but what are we going to do about it?0.97
01:36:55.600We're going to stand tall as Americans against a foreign government that wants to infiltrate us.0.96
01:37:01.740We're going to unelect the Zionist lobby, the AIPAC whores in Congress,0.95
01:37:07.080that would rather get a paycheck from APAC or get reelected for power, money, greed,0.98
01:37:13.100or whatever they want, get people in there to care about America like Thomas Massey,0.95
01:37:19.360Marjorie Taylor Greene, and one or two more.
01:38:27.300And that scoundrel right there, that piece of crap, you know, turns some of the most sensitive secrets over to Israel, betrayed our great country, and he gets a free pass, sent back to Israel.0.99
01:38:46.180And Netanyahu greets him at the airport, and he's a hero for being a spy against the greatest country in the world.0.99
01:38:55.400that used to be the greatest country in the world0.67
01:40:01.200Any foreign, particularly Israel, really trying to, had a lot of power before, but it's definitely trying to be the big swinging you-know-what in the room.1.00
01:40:16.200normally harrison smith i think today is it rex jones or is it rob do uh but let's speak
01:40:20.460to rob do let's go to daniel in texas you're on the air with the head of the uss liberty
01:40:24.320association go ahead hi mr uh terney i just want to uh give a little word of encouragement
01:40:31.260um there's a big population of americans especially the younger group that are waking
01:40:39.600up to everything you've been through and the light is starting to shine in all the cockroaches
01:40:46.040So I just want to give you a word of encouragement to hang in there.
01:40:49.820There's a lot of people waking up to this, triple the number from when I was younger.
01:40:54.960So what you're doing is working, and now we've got the ball rolling,
01:40:59.280and now we've just got to keep this ball rolling.
01:41:01.240Well, I agree with you, except I would say, I don't know how old you are,
01:41:04.520but I'd say 100 times more people are awake now.
01:41:07.760I mean, when I was first learning about the Liberty 30 years ago,
01:41:11.200I learned about it earlier from my uncle, but didn't really pay attention to it.
01:41:13.800I started talking about it 30 years ago.
01:41:16.040I mean, there might have been 1% of people that knew, and I want to come back to you, Daniel, real quick, but Phil, I mean, exponentially, what percentage would you say people are awake to liberty now compared to 40 years ago?
01:42:03.160So God bless the younger Gen Zs and the 50 years old.0.98
01:42:07.820They're finally waking up because of shows like yours, social media, podcasts all over the country, and they see how we became a slave of a foreign country with 9 million people.0.73
01:42:25.660So in 1948, they came there by Truman, and there was two things he could do.0.54
01:42:40.540He could either do it or face the consequences.
01:42:43.940So that's how much power they had then.
