“Cold Blooded Murder” — Phil Tourney Exposes the USS Liberty Attack on Redacted
A Veteran’s Chilling Truth Hits Millions
On Redacted, host Clayton Morris sits down with USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney to uncover one of the most suppressed stories in American history. The 1967 attack on the USS Liberty—an American naval intelligence ship—was no accident, according to Tourney. It was a coordinated false flag between Israel and U.S. officials at the highest levels, intended to justify war with Egypt. The goal? Sink the ship. Kill everyone onboard. Blame it on Egypt.
Phil Tourney’s Bottom Line:
“We were set up to be murdered. By Israel. With the full knowledge of our own government.”
What Happened to the USS Liberty?
While positioned in international waters during the Six-Day War, the USS Liberty was:
Repeatedly reconned by Israeli planes the day before the attack.
Clearly marked with multiple American flags—shot down and replaced during the assault.
Assaulted by Israeli jets using rockets, napalm, and machine-gun fire.
Hit by five torpedoes, one of which killed 25 Americans in a single blast.
Left without rescue, even after SOS signals were received—U.S. planes were recalled twice by orders from Defense Secretary McNamara and President Lyndon B. Johnson.
“Johnson said: ‘I will not embarrass my ally Israel. Get those goddamn planes back on the carrier.’”
A False Flag That Failed
Tourney states that the USS Liberty was meant to be sunk completely. The plan was to blame Egypt and justify American retaliation. Nuclear bombers were reportedly already airborne. But the ship didn’t sink. And survivors lived to tell the story.
Suppressed, Threatened, and Ignored
Admiral Isaac Kidd and Captain Ward Boston led a sham investigation and allegedly ordered survivors under threat of death never to speak about the incident. Tourney stayed silent for nearly two decades, until he felt morally compelled to speak out for the 34 Americans killed that day.
Why Won’t Congress Investigate?
Tourney claims that Congress—both Republican and Democrat—is afraid to touch the issue due to Israeli lobbying power in Washington. Despite documentation, audio recordings, and survivor testimony, no full congressional investigation has ever been conducted.
“We were betrayed by two governments: our own, and the Zionist state of Israel.”
A Plea for Justice
Tourney urges Congress, President Trump, and the incoming Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to launch an official investigation. Not out of vengeance—but to honor the dead and correct the historical record.
“We don’t want war. We want truth. We want our day in court.”
