“I write this statement for Mr. O’Keefe as a USS Liberty survivor.  I include him with those of us who served in the US Navy and Marines, and served it well. I like to make my statements short and concise, and easily understandable, as I will here today. Everyone of us swore to uphold the Constitution of this great nation, and in the case of many of us who served aboard the USS Liberty were afforded a high security clearance because we were some of the most trusted serving in the military at that time.  I often wonder to myself, “How is it that anyone could believe that those of us who are only trying to tell the truth, and highly regarded by our own nation, could be conspiracy theorists, or anything else connected to those kinds of names”?  Yes I know, they use these names to get us to shut up, and most all know it.  I myself believe that there are good and bad in all races of people, and the bad ones we call criminals.  So in essence how could one believe for one minute that any of us, including Ken, are anything more then patriots who love their country, and will do what is asked to bring it back to it’s senses.  I hope it is not too late.  Wake up now, there is little time.”

“Ken O’Keefe was invited as a speaker to the Open Mind Conference 2015 in September in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark and we were honored Ken accepted the invitation. Beside being fantastic speaker Ken is a truly magnificent and caring human being for all living on this earth.

“Ken has now for years as a former US Marine been one of the few whistleblower voices to put light on the methods and politics of western imperialistic powers and how this politic result in bloody sacrifices put upon innocent people all over the world. A vital subject for people to understand in order to create a better world.

“If the world had more personalities like Ken O’Keefe – it would be much better shape!”

“Like many, I remember first hearing about Ken immediately after the Mavi Marmara massacre–and in particular being (what better word can I use?), mesmerized by his going face to face and hand to hand against the rabid dogs of the IDF. Reading and hearing about him–as a person, as a man, and as a fighter for justice, I thought to myself what a great guest he would make for my radio program, The Ugly Truth. I sent him an email, expecting (as was usually the case) that I would either get an insulting response or else no response at all. The reader can then imagine my surprise when I received an immediate, cordial, and very personal response from Ken, along with him agreeing to appear on my program. I spoke with him over the phone a few days prior to the program, to get a better idea as to what kind of guest he would be, and within the same amount of time it takes to finish a cup of coffee, Ken and I were friends, and dare I say even brothers who had been separated from birth.

“At the risk of appearing overly dramatic, there aren’t enough good things I could say about my dear friend that would suffice in painting a picture of not only of who he is, but who he is to me and to my family, who also holds him in high–dare I even say–elevated esteem. Having spent countless hours speaking with him over the computer as well as the priceless honor of having spent time with him recently in Tehran, I cannot imagine what a much more horrible, lifeless and hopeless place this world would be without him. He has been an inspiration and a source of great joy to me personally, and I am sure, to millions of others of people all around the world who are drawn to his seemingly inexhaustible energy and drive to do what is right and to see justice done for the oppressed. Whenever conversing with him by email, I always refer to him affectionately as Commander Ken, and although he doubtless assumes I frame such titles of rank within the environs of lighthearted chat, the fact is I can’t think of anyone else to whom I would rather be subordinate on the battlefield of ideas and activism besides him.

“May God always protect and defend our great brother.”

“Ken O’Keefe is the ultimate Braveheart in the final struggle of world history. The battle line is clearly drawn between the demonic forces of Zionism and the New World Order on one side, and the foot soldiers of truth representing the oppressed people of the planet ranging from those in Palestine and Gaza, Syria and Ukraine, to those in America and Western Europe who have not yet determined who the Beast is, and how he operates. Ken is a razor edged defender of the defenseless, whose iron will, intellectual and rhetorical gifts, and physical courage as demonstrated on the Mavi Marmara, make me both proud and extremely grateful he’s on the same side of the line as I.”

“Ken O’Keefe is the real thing. Courageous, stunningly eloquent, an uncompromising truth-seeker, Ken is the heart and soul of the “Smedley Butler Brigade” of ex-military folks striving for a better world.”
