(American Greatness)—James Scott, Larry Bowen, and Phil Tourney: most pundits won’t recognize those names. They are veterans who survived Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967. They testified before the New Hampshire General Court on January 14, 2024. They wanted answers as to why their government did not help them and how they ended up in the deadly crossfire of two Israeli jet fighters during the Six-Day War.
If you don’t know about the USS Liberty incident, you are not alone. It was a tragic event, one of too many, in which American soldiers were killed by friendly fire. Today, the USS Liberty incident is crudely used to demonize Israel and defame the United States government and military leadership. Online commentators on the (woke) right have been playing up the event, looking for any means to wound the Jewish State and justify Palestinian atrocities against Israel. Candace Owens was the latest commentator to sully her already tarnished reputation, bringing on one of the veterans to emphasize the incident.
So, what happened?
Captain William McGonagle was piloting the USS Liberty off the coast of Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He received commands to chart a course for the Mediterranean to collect intelligence in the region. En route, the Six-Day War erupted. Israel attacked the surrounding Arab states, which had plotted another attempt to annihilate the Jewish state. The US Navy sent five communiques to the Liberty to withdraw, but the ship never got the message.
On June 8, 1967, shortly after decimating the Egyptian Air Force, two Israeli jets spied the USS Liberty near the warzone coastline of Egypt. Even though the ship had an American flag on it, the Israelis believed that it must be an Egyptian ship, the El Quseir, because the United States government had made private and public assurances that they had no major presence in the Mediterranean.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
