USS Liberty Gets Its Own Weekly Radio Program on the Republic Broadcasting Network
USSLiberty, February 16, 2008
For 40 years and counting, the brave survivors (and their families) of the USS Liberty have tried telling the world what happened to them on June 8th, 1967 when the state of Israel attacked the United States ship for over an hour with as many as 1,000 rockets, tens of thousands of armor-piercing rounds and 5 torpedoes. For the most part, the American press has yawned and decided to cover the latest Hollywood scandal or some other nonsense that has absolutely no bearing on the more important issues facing the American people.
Now, a new development has taken place where the survivors of the Liberty will not be forced to beg a criminally-incompetent American media to tell their story. Beginning Saturday, February 23rd, the USS Liberty survivors will have their own live radio program appearing on the Republic Broadcasting Network found at www.republicbroadcasting.org.
The live, two-hour call-in program will appear every Saturday from 10 am to 12 pm CST and will be hosted by Phil Tourney, survivor of the Liberty and 3-time president of the Liberty Veteran’s Association and Mark Glenn, contributing editor for American Free Press newspaper. The weekly program, in addition to discussing the event taking place 40 years ago, will also be an in-depth analysis of current political events that have as their origin the fact that a United States ship was attacked in an act of premeditated war and was not rectified. Appearances by many of the other survivors of the Liberty will also be a regular theme, talking about what they went through that day and what has happened to them personally since that time.
Persons wishing to listen to the program live can do so by going to www.republicbroadcasting.org and clicking on the ‘Listen Live’ option. For those not able to hear the program in real-time, it will be archived for later listening. Suggestions for program ideas can be sent to Phil Tourney at tonktime5@yahoo.com or Mark Glenn at nomorewarsforisrael@gmail.com. Sponsors for the program are also encouraged.
