EP#393 | DSD | The USS Liberty Survivor's Truth with Moe Shafer

<p>🎙️ <strong>EP#393 | DSD | The USS Liberty Survivor&#39;s Truth w/ Moe Shafer</strong></p><p>On June 8th, 1967, the USS Liberty was attacked during the Six-Day War — an event shrouded in controversy, cover-ups, and conspiracy. In this explosive episode, Ray Doustdar sits down with Moe Shafer, one of the few remaining survivors of that fateful day. Moe served as a communications technician — a “spook” or spy — aboard the ship and was just 20 years old when a torpedo tore through the vessel, killing 25 of his crewmates in the same room. This is his harrowing, firsthand account.</p><p>Moe dives deep into the details that history books left out: secret codes, moon-bounce communication, and the chilling moment when “Help is on the way” was the last message received. He recalls the morning’s false sense of security as Israeli planes circled overhead — before launching the shocking attack that would leave 34 dead and 174 wounded. From torpedo strikes to napalm burns, Moe’s account is one of trauma, survival, and ultimately — silence, as the U.S. government threatened the crew with prison if they ever spoke out.</p><p>This is not just a war story — it’s a wake-up call. Moe reveals the cover-up, the near-nuclear fallout, and the decades-long emotional aftermath. With never-before-shared insights, this episode breaks open the hidden truths behind one of the most controversial military incidents in U.S. history. If you think you knew the USS Liberty story — think again.</p><p>🔥 <strong>Top 7 Key Points</strong></p><p>🛳️ <strong>The USS Liberty Was a Spy Ship</strong><br>🎯 <strong>Israel’s Plan Was to Sink the Ship</strong><br>🚨 <strong>“Help Is on the Way” — But It Never Came</strong><br>💣 <strong>One Torpedo Nearly Caused Nuclear War</strong><br>🧠 <strong>Crew Was Threatened to Stay Silent</strong><br>📽️ <strong>New Docs Like ‘Sacrificing Liberty’ Expose It All</strong><br>💔 <strong>Survivors Waited Decades for Justice</strong></p><p>🔑 <strong>Keywords &amp; Themes</strong><br>USS Liberty, Moe Shafer, Phil Tourney, Six-Day War, Israel, Egypt, torpedo attack, spy ship, NSA, Naval Security Group, cover-up, napalm, Geneva Convention, military secrecy, nuclear holocaust, Admiral Martin, James Scott, Sacrificing Liberty, Ray Doustdar, PTSD, Cold War, false flag, naval warfare, intelligence community, communications technician</p><p>⏳ <strong>Chapters &amp; Timestamps</strong></p><p>00:00 – Intro &amp; Guest Welcome<br>01:19 – Moe’s Background &amp; Joining the Navy<br>03:21 – Why He Chose the Navy (Following His Brother)<br>05:25 – First Assignment in Germany Near Russia<br>06:33 – Life on the USS Liberty Pre-Attack<br>08:11 – Moon-Bounce Tech &amp; Spy Work Explained<br>13:50 – Being 20 Years Old in a Warzone<br>16:51 – June 8th: The Attack Begins<br>20:57 – Israeli Planes, Cameras &amp; False Comfort<br>26:02 – Torpedo Hits: 25 Dead, Moe Survives<br>36:07 – Fire, Chaos &amp; Attempted Surrender<br>43:42 – Why the Ship Wasn’t Sunk<br>49:30 – Admiral Martin’s Nuclear Orders<br>54:01 – Malta, Body Recovery &amp; Aftermath<br>59:49 – Sworn to Secrecy for 15 Years<br>1:02:17 – Moe’s Ongoing Fight for Truth<br>1:04:20 – Final Reflections: God, Survival &amp; Justice</p><p>📢 <strong>Follow &amp; Engage with DSD</strong><br>📌 Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive</a><br>📌 Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/</a><br>📌 TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive</a><br>📌 YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive</a><br>📌 Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive</a><br>📌 Threads: <a href="https://t
