In the annals of US military history, there are no doubt many unsolved and perplexing mysteries, but few could compare to the fate of the US Navy spy ship that was mercilessly attacked by one of its closest allies intentionally and without warning. One of the reasons it is still a mystery is because it is also the only peacetime attack on a US naval vessel that, to this day, has never been investigated by the Congress of the United States.
The USS Liberty was a 455-foot, 10,150-ton electronic intercept spy ship, originally a standard-design Victory Ship--a more evolved version of the World War II Liberty Ships--which were built as supply ships, not intended for direct fighting. The Liberty had been converted to an Auxiliary Technical Research Ship (AGTR), known colloquially as a "spy ship," first deployed in 1965; its top speed was only 18 knots.
Yet the Liberty's fate, one of the most enigmatic, unresolved military mysteries of all time, is, paradoxically at its core, quite clear-cut and undisputed. The basic facts generally accepted by all are that, on the fourth day of the Six Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors (Egypt, Syria and Jordan), the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) savagely attacked the U.S. spy ship, the USS Liberty.
On the warm, sunny-bright day of June 8, 1967, starting at about 6:00 a.m., at least twelve, possibly thirteen Israeli aircraft of different types began surveilling the Liberty, some of which were only 1,000 feet or less in altitude, apparently to photograph and "map" her for later targeting purposes. The precision of the later attack could only have been accomplished through such pre-planning, specifically identifying the priority targets, starting with the gun mounts to render the ship defenseless, followed by all of the forty-five different radio antennae and related transmitting equipment. . Beginning just before 2:00 p.m., three unmarked French-built Mirage III-C swept-wing fighter jets, without warning, settled into a triangular formation, aimed straight at the Liberty and proceeded to bore down on the ship in a fast low-level attack that began with rockets targeted at the four gun mounts and heat-seeking missiles aimed at the communications gear, with their warmed transmitters. . When the attack was over, thirty-four men were dead and one hundred seventy-four were injured to varying degrees, some near death.
Unlike all other books ever written about the tragic attack - none of which provide a satisfactory explanation of what really caused it - Remember the Liberty! examines it in complete context of how it was positioned there by Johnson himself, for the very purpose of being attacked, and sunk, with every one of the 294 men on board going to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. His purpose was to use that event - while blaming Egyptian President Gamal Nasser for the attack - as a pretext for joining Israel in the war, even at the risk of igniting World War III with the Soviet Union. This book provides the only realistic explanation for why Lyndon Johnson did what he did, and why, in the heat of battle, he intervened with his Navy officers who were determined to rescue the Liberty and ordered them to recall the squadrons of fighter jets they had already dispatched - twice, 90 minutes apart - for that purpose.
When the heroic crew saved the ship from sinking, it stopped Johnson's plan to join Israel in the war and thereby saved the world from certain nuclear conflagration. It also prevented his strategy of entering what he felt would be a "popular war" (unlike his other one in Vietnam) in order to give him a better chance to be reelected president the following year. When that failed to materialize, so did his reelection campaign; ten months later he was forced to announce his decision to not re-run for the office that he had always considered his destiny.

My book’s been a long time in the making. Factual, emotional, shocking, and not for the faint-of-heart, THE BEAUTY QUEEN is all this and more. As soon as my first-grade teacher, Sister Steven Maria, taught me to write, I began expressing myself with words. Through the years, I consistently documented my life through writing. You will quickly learn I don’t believe in coincidences.
My story is true; I’ve lived it all and NO—it isn’t a bragging book. The Beauty Queen is a complicated adventure through the shame of incest, sexual abuse, dominance, and control; of once-in-a-lifetime experiences and a living death. But, never fear. There are many funny stories, personal photos and documents, a few naughty revelations, and more than enough "shock" to keep your attention.
Consider my book a how-to book on surviving a life targeted by Hate, Jealousy, Bullying, Evil, and Intimidation. I consider my disclosures a tribute to me-- the Beauty Queen—who, even today, refuses to be a victim. My story is also about the “little girl in me.” She’s my life-long friend—the one who never grew up, gave up, or, gave in.
Some people will purchase my book based on THE CLINTON CHAPTERS. I had no plans to include the Clintons in my book until last year when I learned, once again, I was being followed, spied on, and threatened by Hillary’s Henchmen. Flaunting her importance this election year, Hillary is using the same old "playbook" from the nineties to threaten me. Tired of Hillary's bullying, I expanded my book to include the Clintons. For the first time-ever, I expose the intimate details of my three month encounter with Bill Clinton. And, I reveal the exclusive revelations about Hillary---as told to me by Bill.
I’ve endured Hillary’s ugly harassment since 1992. Trust me; Hillary likes to play "dirty" so, I'm digging in the dirt to share each life-threatening moment she directed my way during the nineties. Best of all, I reveal the dirty details of my “run-in” with both Clintons and Madeline Albright---—in China.
I invite you to read my story. You’ll learn a multitude of truths about others but most of all about me, Sally Miller, the woman the media-- long ago--labeled: The Beauty Queen.

Note from Film makers :
Also, just wanted to mention some of the conspiracy stuff hidden in the film.… since you didn’t notice any of it… lol. It was on our mind.
Film starts with Tim getting a speeding ticket, when asked where he’s coming from he says - Muldrow. In real life Tim got a speeding ticket outside Muldrow which is right by Elohim City. The only reason for him to be in that area is Elohim… and Tim said he had never been there before.
Richard Snell’s influence and friendship. In real life Richard said his death would be avenged and asked to have the TV turned on the morning of his execution, April 19th. The officer said Snelll was grinning while watching the news of the bombing. How well or even if he knew Tim is conspiracy lore. Snell is buried at Elohim City.
Strassmaier telling Tim about Snell’s bomb plot in 83’. In real life it goes that Snell and others from the CSA were going to blow up the Federal Building in OKC, but the bomb blew up in their hands. They took it as a sign from God not to do it.
Tim and Terry selling guns, Tim says you don’t know where we got these from. In real life the story goes that Tim had Terry steal Roger Moore’s (who was tied to the CIA) gun collection to sell and make money for the bombing. The story is very fishy, especially Moore’s version.
Terry asks Tim where he’s gonna get that much money from to buy components for the bomb, but Tim never answers.
Tim has a lighter with a Freemason logo on it.
All the phone calls when Tim is at the phone booth, it is never revealed who he’s talking to or what he is saying.
When Tim is renting the storage room he gives her the wrong ID with one of his aliases. On other oaccasions he signs papers with different names.
Tim and Strassmeir at the strip club. In real life a stripper at Lady Godiva’s says she saw Tim, Strassmeir and Michael Brescia at the strip club all together shortly before the bombing. They all said it didn’t happen. Strassmeir claims he only met Tim once at a gun show. Brescia says he didn’t know Tim at all.
Terry flying to the Philippines. In real life Terry went many times, Tim’s lawyer suspected him to meet with terrorists to learn bomb building.
John Doe 2 is in the background when he rents the truck.
The passenger door is heard opening and someone gets in… who is never revealed, John Doe 2.
Towards the end, the gameshow he’s watching in the motel room while eating Chinese food, has secret messages on the game board: STRASSMEIR, HYPNOSIS, MKULTRA, CIA, FBI, etc.
The montage at the end has images of: teeth X-rays (Wendy Painting’s theory he was micro chipped in his teeth), MK-Ultra, Aryan Republican Army, Carol Howe, Terrance Yeakey, Kenneth Trentadue, and Jolly West.
Also, on a side note you might enjoy… the announcer of the gameshow introduces the current winner as, “Dave McGowan.”
