My cousin, a few years older than me, elected to join the Marines when
his draft number came up.

I still have a copper bracelet with his name, rank, & service #; but
nowadays I only wear it to family occasions where people know what
it's for.


3 of the ETs that graduated from my Electronics Technician school at
Great Lakes Naval Training Center in IL were sent to USS Liberty as I
went to PMEL School at Lowry AFB, Colo to become a metrologist.

Remember what happened to them at the hands of our so-called "friends" in
1967? They were MURDERED:

The coverup and lies that followed are some of the most shameful,
disgusting times in US history. Israel was supposed to SINK liberty with
all hands so that the USA could enter the war blaming Egypt for the
sinking....just like the Gulf of Tonkin false flag operation that got us
into Vietnam....that never happened, either.

As you may guess, I'm not much of a fanboi of Jews or Israelis or Zionism
or the US Government they control.




Can't recall where I was when the Embassy people were taken hostage in
Tehran. It was certainly an "oh ****, here we go" feeling that went on
for a long time.

The Embassy got what it deserved. I lived in Tehran from 1977 to just 28
days before the Shahanshah was deposed in 1979, working for the Iranian
Air Force in the SIGINT/ELINT mission as Metrology Laboratory Head under
contract with Pan Am Airlines Technical Services Branch.

When you called the American Embassy, a place mere Americans were never
allowed to enter past the front counter unless you were carrying a
retired US military ID card, you were simply told to "maintain a low
profile" because all that CIA intellegencia had no idea what was going on
as they rarely ever left the compound and never asked us expats walking
the streets. BRITISH Embassy was where the best information came from,
so true and reliable the Iranians called the BE's terrorist hotline
recording to find out what was going to explode today. (Mere Americans
WERE, BTW, allowed into the British Embassy, Australian Embassy, New
Zealand Embassy...invited to Embassy parties if one were shacked up with
one of their citizens like I was. The American Embassy was USELESS for
Americans living in Iran. The only thing the American Embassy did was to
house the IRS bureaucrats trying to threaten us if we didn't hand over
our tax information on what the Iranians used to pay us under the table
to keep us from leaving. Some Americans became Canadians under IRS
pressure....it worked.
