Have you guys heard of the USS Liberty incident? US naval ship that was off the coast of Israel during the 6 day war. It was bombed and torpedoed by the Israelis. It was ruled an accident but some info has leaked out and after the first attack US fighter jets were scrambled to protect the wounded ship. While the jets were in route someone gave the command to return to base. The Liberty was then bombed and torpedoed a couple more times. The new rumors is that the ship had collected data of Israel killing tons of Egyptian POW's... apparently in the hundreds.


The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship (spy ship), USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War.[2] The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian NSA employee), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship.[3] At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.[1][4]

Israel apologized for the attack, saying that the USS Liberty had been attacked in error after being mistaken for an Egyptian ship.[5] Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity.[6] Others, including survivors of the attack, have rejected these conclusions and maintain that the attack was deliberate.[7][8]

In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$28 million in 2022) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid
a further $3.57 million ($28.5 million in 2022) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($21.3 million in 2022) as the final settlement for material damage to Liberty itself plus 13 years of interest.[9]

Here is Jake’s latest video. It’s just his monthly Q&A but he covers a lot of interesting topics like his time serving as an English teacher in Korea.

I checked because I was curious. You can get a queen, double pull out couch and double table bed (you sleep on the table I guess?) between Christmas and New Years for the low price of $757/night. And that’s the cheap hotel. Plus $801.88 per person for park tickets. So for $8600 my family of 6 can do one day at each park and stay at a hotel. With food call it minimum $10k for 5 days for a family of 6. Not to mention the Mickey ears and lightsabers that are all over every flight leaving Orlando.

They don’t want more people, they want people who will pay more. Even with all that it will be completely full and all the park lines will be hours long.
Disney has been like this for a long time. Back in December of 2021, my MIL & FIL wanted to bring the ENTIRE family to Disney World for a few days to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. FIL put up 13 people at the Contemporary Hotel, paid for park tix for Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, and food for the 4 days. Grand total was nearly $30K. On top of that, one BIL got a kidney stone that I had to rush him to the hospital for, and most of the adults got COVID. Disney has been a rip off for a long long time.

1- The whole world should want Russia broken into smaller states with their nukes being secured by NATO.

2- The troll attempt becomes WAY too obvious when you say things like “Putin is the good guy”.

What’s next, Stalin was actually a good guy? Mao?
Yoou support a guy that rapes and sexualizes children. What has Putin done so bad?

This sucks for the creation of the new inventory that we need but the silver lining is that it drives down demand for oil and gas as the economy cools. The world’s central banks raising interest rates is doing significant damage to Russian revenues.

I’m assuming you mean Zelensky and there is no proof, or even credible assertions, that he has done those things to children.

Putin, on the other hand, ordered and oversaw the rape, torture, kidnapping, and genocide of Ukrainian children. Thankfully there is so much evidence that he is now wanted by The Hague. Hopefully he, and all the other Russians who were complicit in this Ukrainian genocide see nooses. Just getting a few top guys, like we did with the Nazis, won’t be sufficient. We need to get every single person, all the way down to foot soldiers and civilians, who helped Russia prosecute these crimes against humanity.
