During the 1967 ambush on the USS Liberty, naval commanders launched rescue aircraft to defend the burning ship. That rescue mission was deliberately aborted on direct orders from the White House. When challenged by Admiral Geis, President Lyndon B. Johnson made his priority clear: he did not care if the vessel went to the bottom of the Mediterranean—he would not permit his allies to be embarrassed. The attacking jets bore no national markings. The crew under fire could not identify their assailants. Yet the White House knew immediately who was responsible, preemptively shielding the perpetrators while abandoning American servicemen at sea. Unraveling historical cover-ups requires asking the basic, forensic questions that institutions refuse to entertain. When you understand how state narratives are engineered to bury inconvenient facts, you develop immunity to modern propaganda.
