Charlie Kirk Absurdly Claims Israeli Attack on USS Liberty is a ‘Conspiracy Theory’
Political activist and talk show host Charlie Kirk’s historical ignorance was on full display recently when he tried to claim that Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty, a well-documented historical event that even Israel itself does not dispute and has officially apologized for, is a “conspiracy theory.”
In video footage shared online of an event with Kirk, an attendee who was given the opportunity to ask him a question said: “From America First perspective, why do we give 3.8 billion dollars to Israel, which is more aid than we’ve given to Africa, more aid than we’ve given to South America, and more aid than we’ve given to the Caribbean combined, which is home to a billion poor people, especially when they deliberately attacked the USS Liberty in the 1970s?”
Kirk interrupts him to say: “That is incorrect. Do not peddle conspiracy theories in our event. That is not acceptable. Do not say that.” The anger in his voice is palpable as he tries to silence the man for bringing up an event whose existence has never been in doubt.
“Okay, Dean Rusk disagrees with you and he was the Secretary of State at the time, but that’s fine,” the man says before moving on to his next question, apparently deciding it was not his job to educate Kirk, a community college dropout, on history.
Charlie, we have news for you: the attack absolutely did occur, and the families of the 34 Americans it killed and the 171 who were wounded likely wish it was nothing more than a “conspiracy theory.” If the incident truly never happened, what would compel Israel to apologize for it and offer millions of dollars in compensation for the incident and restitution for the victims?
Israel attacked USS Liberty during the Six-Day War, killing 34 Americans and injuring 171
The USS Liberty was a noncombatant naval technical research vessel, and it was sent to the waters off the Northern Sinai coast during the Six-Day War in 1967 by the National Security Agency to monitor what was going on around the front lines in Syria and Egypt.
An Israeli aircraft carrying out routine reconnaissance spotted the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967, and reportedly couldn’t determine its country of origin. Those on the boat reported an unknown aircraft circling overhead, and their commanders ordered them to destroy the sensitive documents they had on board.
Shortly thereafter, Israel launched a two-hour attack on the boat that involved slamming it with torpedoes, napalm and bombs. Survivors say the aircraft was not marked and strafed their life rafts, while the ship’s distress signals were reportedly blocked by the Israelis.
The Israelis later claimed that they mistook the ship for an Egyptian one, and Israeli and American government inquiries concluded this was the case. However, many survivors don’t buy their story because the ship was flying an American flag and had the name “USS Liberty” written on its hull.
While accidents can and do happen in the heat of war, especially at a time when technology wasn’t nearly as advanced as it is today, some survivors and American officials think the Israelis had plenty of motivation to deliberately attack the ship. Some theorize they may have wanted to cover up their plans to seize the Golan Heights, which the ship may have picked up with its listening devices, or they might have wanted to bring U.S. into the war on the Israeli side.
Then-U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, whose name was mentioned by the man questioning Kirk, was one of those who did not accept the official Israeli explanation, saying: “I didn’t believe them then, and I don’t believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous.”
Whether the attack was a case of mistaken identity, as the Israelis claim, or something more sinister aimed at stopping a U.S. intelligence operation, there is one thing that has never been in dispute: Israel, as the man at the event claimed, “deliberately attacked the USS Liberty in the 1970s,” and the fact that Kirk labeled it a “conspiracy theory” because it is inconvenient to whatever narrative he is trying to peddle should be enough to make anyone question every word that comes out of his mouth.

EU Agencies Propose Encryption Backdoors and Cryptocurrency Surveillance
The EU is attacking encryption again, this time in a report put together by several agencies, including EU law enforcement Europol, and the European Council’s Counter-Terrorism Coordinator.
This EU’s site says that this “first report on encryption” – by what the bloc calls its Innovation Hub for Internal Security, is looking for ways to “uphold citizens’ privacy while enabling criminal investigation and prosecution.”
“The main challenge is to design solutions that would allow at the same time a lawful and targeted access to communications and that guarantees that a high level of cybersecurity, data protection and privacy,” says the report.
The objective answer to the supposed conundrum of how to achieve both goals is always the same: you can’t.
Yet the EU, various governments, and international organizations continue to push to undermine online encryption and keep framing their initiatives the same way – as both their supposed care for privacy (and importantly, security), and making law enforcement’s job much easier (saying that the goal is to “enable” that, suggests there’s no other way to investigate, which is not true.)
And, how on Earth the EU intends to “safeguard fundamental rights” (of citizens) while at the same time proposing what it does in this document, is anybody’s guess. But EU bureaucrats are “safe” from being asked these questions – at least not by legacy, corporate media.
The report’s proposals include a number of ways to break encryption, mention encryption backdoors (the sneaky euphemism is, “lawful access” to communications and data), as well as password cracking and cryptocurrency and other forms of surveillance.
The not-so-subtle abuse of language and tone continues while discrediting encryption, as services like Meta’s Messenger, Apple Private Relay, and Rich Communication Systems (RCS) protocol are dubbed, “warrant-proof encryption technologies.”
One idea regards extracting encryption keys via “quantum side-channel attacks” (that exploit information leaked from quantum computers). “Grover’s algorithm could be used in this case to identify relevant data extracted during a side-channel attack in order to deduct the cryptographic key,” reads the report.
And if DNS encryption is implemented, then the EU thinks it will be “crucial” to let “law enforcement access and process suspects’ DNS traffic.”
The EU pins hopes for its encryption-breaking future powers on AI development, but also, in the present, on the Cybercrime Judicial Monitor (CJM) report stating that some of the bloc’s members at the national level have recently been changing legislation in a way that “might offer additional opportunities to capture and use (encrypted) data.”
In fact, the CJM annual report leads the EU to conclude that “the majority of EU member states have direct or indirect capabilities for targeted lawful access to suspect’s device.”
Once again, “the issue” of intercepting voice calls made using foreign SIM cards is brought up in the “Lawful interception in 5G networks” section” – similar to Europol’s recent exploration of breaking mobile roaming encryption.

Check Out the FBI Employee and Other TDS Exhibitors Who Posted Disappointment That Trump Wasn’t Assassinated
The internet is awash with frustration as leftists who hate Donald Trump moan and rage about the fact that the former president is still not dead.
One of them, Jenna Howell of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), complained on Facebook using a meme that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old Pennsylvania Republican who reportedly tried to assassinate Trump at a rally in Butler, Penn., failed to strike the former president’s head rather than just his upper ear.
“Awwww so close,” reads a meme shared by Howell depicting the grim reaper playing an arcade game in which a claw drops a toy made in the image of Trump – see below:
Howell works in the FBI’s NICS firearms background check unit, by the way. She holds top secret clearance and is an outspoken opponent of the Second Amendment.
A product of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System that Howell helps manage was named after James Brady, who was wounded in an assassination attempt on the late former President Ronald Reagan.
“Jenna is a typical ‘pro-Palestine,’ rabid ‘LGBTQIA+ ally’ and hater of conservatives across the board,” tweeted podcaster and “recovering FBI agent” turned whistleblower Kyle Seraphin.
“She is confrontational and insulting to veterans with total impunity. The FBI culture encourages and empowers these low level Leftists.”
(Related: Just a few days before Crooks shot at Trump, actress and “professional lesbian” Lea DeLaria, 66, posted a video of herself on Instagram calling for Joe Biden to assassinate Trumpusing the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling as cover.)
Rep. Benny Thompson’s staffer tweets that next shooter needs to make sure he hits target Trump
Not to be outdone by Howell was Jacqueline Marsaw, staffer of Congressman Benny Thompson (D-Miss.) who basically tweeted that someone else should pick up where Crooks left off and actually hit target Trump the next time around.
“I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn’t me talking,” Marsaw tweeted with full unprofessionalism.
Responding to Marsaw’s tweet, Newt Gingrich called for her immediate firing, especially after it was revealed that she introduced the very resolution that cut off Secret Service protection for Trump back in April.
“With staff like this, the poison is deep, Gingrich wrote.
Biden called for Trump’s assassination on July 8
Joe Biden technically called for the very same thing on July 8, 2024, when he tweeted that he and America are “done talking about the debate” because “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
“Defend that. Go ahead,” responded Joe Concha about Biden’s call to assassinate Trump. “Try to defend that rhetoric after what we all just witnessed with Trump coming with [sic] a centimeter of being assassinated.”
CNN‘s Jake Tapper was quick to defend Biden’s call for Trump to be assassinated, claiming that “there is no proof that such rhetoric caused this shooting.” Keep in mind that Tapper once blamed Sarah Palin for causing the shooting of Gabby Giffords.
“Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation,” Biden also tweeted back on June 28, 2024. “He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.”
Colorado congressman calls Trump “the devil” after shooting
Denver lawmaker Rep. Steven Woodrow (D-Colo.) tweeted in the immediate aftermath of the shooting at the Trump rally in Butler, Penn., that “The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are,” the “devil,” in this context, referring to Trump.
Woodrow later apologized for the comment after public outcry backed him into a corner.
“We must always resolve our differences peacefully at the ballot box – not through violence,” Woodrow said in a carefully crafted statement. “I know people are hurting, and (I) apologize that my words caused additional pain.”
House Democrats sponsored bill to strip Trump of Secret Service protection before Butler rally
The following nine Democrat members of the House of Representatives, many of them from the Black Caucus, sponsored House Resolution 8081 to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection – this before his recent rally in Butler:
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.)
Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.)
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Fla.)
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.)
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.)
Rep. Bonnie Coleman (D-N.J.)
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tex.)
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio)
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.)
“Anyone in a position of public service making comments like that has no place in government,” wrote “MAG2A us” (@armsparts2) on X about all these political calls for Trump to be assassinated.
“Thompson’s actions and his staffer’s words show a dangerous level of disrespect and hostility. She should be fired immediately, and there needs to be a thorough investigation into this toxic behavior.”
Another wrote concerning Jenna Howell’s comments that Beth Ann Coyne, the woman she worked for, “should have a talk with Jenna about the Hatch Act covering on-duty Facebook posts.”
“Seems like her clearance should be suspended while they get to the bottom of it.”
“I wonder if we had the forethought to grab some choice screenshots of Jenna Howell’s FB page before sharing it here? Kyle Seraphin wrote. “That would be a heads-up move.”

Elon Musk Abandons California Over Trans Law
SpaceX CEO and X owner Elon Musk has said that he will relocate the headquarters of both companies from California to Texas in response to a new law forbidding teachers in the Golden State from telling parents if their children identify as transgender.
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the SAFETY Act into law on Tuesday. Hailed by activists as a safeguard against the “forced outing” of gay or transgender kids, the law forbids school staff from informing parents if their children identify as gay in the classroom, or use names or pronouns that differ from those on their birth certificates.
Critics slammed the bill as an infringement on parental rights.
“This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X. “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”

Musk explained that he made it “clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children.”
In a follow-up post, Musk said that he would relocate X’ HQ from San Francisco to Austin, Texas. “Have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building,” he said, referring to San Francisco’s well-documented homelessness, drug abuse, and street-crime problems.

Musk previously described the “once beautiful and thriving” downtown area of San Francisco as “a derelict zombie apocalypse,” blaming the decline on decades of Democrat rule. Last August, the billionaire vowed to go to “war” with a law firm that was suing city authorities for clearing vagrants from the area.
Musk already moved Tesla’s HQ from the tech hub of Palo Alto in California to Austin in 2021, and moved his personal residence from California to Texas in 2020. Aside from distancing himself from coastal liberalism – which he has described as “the woke mind-virus,” the move allowed Musk to avoid tax on his personal income.
In 2023, Musk told his biographer, Walter Isaacson, that he blamed his transgender daughter’s liberal Los Angeles school for encouraging her to become “a full communist” and to sever all ties with her father the year before.
“She went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that anyone rich is evil,” Musk said of his now 20-year-old child. “I’ve made many overtures, but she doesn’t want to spend time with me.”
Musk has also spoken out repeatedly against child sex changes, stating last year that he “will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent.”
