She didn't stick around for our long conversation, and he didn't say anything about it directly, but the way it seemed to me was that when I showed it to him within the context of our conversation he felt as I did the magnitude of what Aaron did. If I remember correctly, he knew who Aaron was and that he recognized that, while he and his shipmates were trapped and fighting for their lives--heroically fighting--Aaron could have at any time walked away from the embassy and didn't. That's next-level heroism. It was lump-in-the-throat time for me, and I believe it was for him, too, though I wouldn't presume to speak for him. He definitely understood the rightness of Aaron's cause.
After your last couple of updates about the Aaron Bushnell campaign, I was thinking about how great it is that your mural is sparking conversations with ordinary people wherever you go.
And now you've had a truly extraordinary encounter. I wonder what the coming days, weeks and months will be like?
Somehow I feel like the water pump issue is going to turn into yet another fortuitous episode...
You're welcome Craig. There are good reasons I went into such detail about my personal financial situation... Mostly so people will know, 9 times out of 10, their difficult living situation is not actually their fault...
What are the chances of happening into one of the few remaining survivors of that attack. Whats even more surprising is that instead of the US bombing that shitty little country on the Eastern Med back to the stone age, the US govt threatened all survivors with a court martial. Tells you all you need to know really, and who runs who. People say that Israel is America's attack dog, but it's the other way around, the Jews run America and when they want the US to do their bidding puppets like Trump just salute and click their heels.
A Russian Navy warship was relatively close by and offered assistance to the USS Liberty as her crew valiantly worked to keep her afloat. Natch, in 1967, the crew of a US spy ship would not accept that help, but the fact that our “Ally’s” enemy’s ally was more friendly than the murdering ally is of interest.
I didn't know that., very interesting fact, as is the refusal to accept said offer. While the Russians may have appeared to be our geopolitical adversaries during the Cold War, they are not murdering savages. Last time I checked any genocides committed by Russia against her own people was pretty much an operation of the small hats, who had taken over the reign of power. Meanwhile the Jews in Israel are in mid genocide of the Palestinians. Gaza looks like Dresden did after WWII, yet again another crazed murder spree that had zero military value, it was mass murder for the sake of mass murder. Kind of like what is going on in Palestine.....
When I learned about the USS Liberty, it was shocking for so many reasons. It was also the seminal moment that flipped my worldview and made it much easier to ''connect the dots.'' I agree with Anna, amazing encounter, Craig.
In appreciation for your good work, I just bought you 10 coffees. I have also taken a one-year subscription. I once shared the link to one of your articles to Linh Dinh's substack. Best of luck !
Linh Dihn is a truly talented writer. I was introduced to him years ago through an old and valued friend. He interviewed me regarding my suit against the vile SPLC. The interview can be found at the Unz Review unz.com
Amazing encounter. What did Jerry Ward and his wife think of the mural?

Thank you for honoring our best.

Guaranteed, your local congress critters & senators TAKE MONEY from AIPAC.

Brilliant, profound article. What incredible pathos.
