“Nope.

The Branch Davidians with gasoline.”

And the government never lies.

They wanted a dramatic takedown to justify all their pretty SWAT gear at the upcoming budget hearings.

Now known as "the Mueller Doctrine".

"Within months after the compound burned, federal agencies told everyone involved not to talk about Waco. The agencies fought release of records and evidence, winning legal battles only to lose public opinion."

Seems like they were in a heap big hurry to bulldoze everything after it was over.....

Government cover story garbage.

I saw the video of FBI units launching incendiaries.

Ask yourself, just how trustworthy is Janet Reno’s version of events?

The only thing missing was a flag pole with a red flag and a bugle corps to sound the deguello.

The idea that BD’s started the fire is as a result of bugs that the FBI sent in.

This all came out in House and Senate Investigations which proved Reno and the FBI LIED their asses off about their role in this deadly siege.

Yes, Reno and the FBI are guilty and culpable. But we must be honest. BD’s share the blame in this fuster cluck.

They “pumped” gas into the house. By pumped I mean fired grenades using an m79 grenade launcher. Pumped sounds so benign doesn’t it?

Gasoline was used as an accelerant. And the three fires were started simultaneously inside three different locations.

Can grenade launchers do that?

I didn’t think so.

clintons lynch holder obama and come walking around free is what’s haunting me these days.

I lived through U-2, Bay of Pigs, Vietnam fake body counts, Teddy Kennedy, failure to remove Bill Clinton, and on and on. I can’t remember the last time I trusted the government.

It could have been prevented.....like Gehanna Jones’s group, these people follow their leaders into a death zone when all is said and done. Karash loved every bit of it..

"How could a 33-year-old ninth-grade dropout convince so many people that he was the Lamb and God had willed this terrible end - nurses and teachers, a postman and a Harvard-educated lawyer, Australians and Brits, New Zealanders and an Argentinian-born Israeli Jew?"

On the other hand, how could Harvard and Yale-educated Liberal/Progressive politicians "convince so many people" that they know better than other citizens in America how to administer justice and protect the Constitution of the United States when, in fact, their stated goals from the late-1800's were to "fundamentally change" those foundations?

The BIG LIE is that the FBI wanted Koresh. They did not. Koresh was continuously available. They wanted to terminate the compound. They succeeded.
AG Janet Reno was a criminal engaged in anti constitutional activity throughout her tenure.

And to send the message that resistance to the government is futile.

If they had backed off, it would have shown the average American that the government wasn’t in total control and that we the people were free to do what we wanted.

We can’t have any of that government not controlling everyone stuff, now can we?

they prolly went the way of the front doors that they claim not to know the whereabouts of, and anybody what knows anything about FLIR knows it doesn't see light but heat, so it's impossible for it to see "light reflections"
