11th Anniversary:

As I do each year, I post this as a reminder to all of my fellow Freepers that our freedoms and liberties hang by a thin thread.

On Sunday, February 28, 1993, at 9:30 AM, nearly 100 heavily armed agents from Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms arrived at the Branch Davidian Compound in central Texas, near Waco.

They didn't go to Mt. Carmel to attend morning worship services, they went to execute a search warrant for illegal gun parts. After debarking from the cattle trailers and trucks that they arrived in, they immediately shot the dogs and puppies near the main entrance door. The leader of the Branch Davidians, known as David Koresh, opened the front door and was immediately fired upon by agents. A gun battle broke out that left 4 agents and 6 congregation members dead.

For the next 51 days a church congregation and law enforcement agencies of the United States government held each other at bay. The encircled congregation was subjected to psychological warfare techniques for most of the 51 days. On April 19, 1993 the US government attacked the site and the facility was burned to the ground. The origin of the fire is under constant dispute. Nonetheless, a total of 76 men, women, adolescents, children and infants died in the inferno.

To this day, not one federal agent has faced punishment or reprimand for the death of the INNOCENT men, women and children that died at Mt. Carmel.

Last Saturday was the 11th anniversary of the day that the BATF attacked the Branch Davidian congregation, near the town of Waco, Texas. Pray for those Branch Davidians that still languish in jail.

No justice is in sight for the INNOCENT men, women, children and infants who died.

And don't hold your breath for any justice either. To quote an FBI agent that I knew personally, "They were a bunch of dirtbags. They got what they deserved."

[FormerACLUmember]

The brutal mass murder of Christians by the ferociously anti-Christian Democrat Party.

[GrandEagle]

They were a bunch of dirtbags.
Even so... Up until then it was not a capitol offense to be a dirt bag.
Ever ask him who gets to decide which set of dirt bags get executed on the spot, which ones get a trial, and which ones get away clean?

[GrandEagle]

mass murder of Christians
mass murder I'll agree. Christian? that's a stretch.

A traficant speech seems fitting.


WACO STILL A BURNING QUESTION
October 25, 1999
Mr. Speaker, after 6 years, Waco is still burning. These fires will not stop until our government tells the truth. Ninety Americans killed, and nobody, nobody has been held accountable to this date, even though the Government used deadly gas, used a bulldozer, and could have arrested David Koresh any morning out jogging.

Now, despite government denial, they find a high caliber shell casing near a position stand of an FBI
sniper.

Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. One can fool some of the people some of the time, but one cannot fool
all of the people all of the time. The Government is lying about Waco.

I yield back the fact that the Justice Department, by the way, investigates themselves.

As I do each year, I post this as a reminder to all of my fellow Freepers that our freedoms and liberties hang by a thin thread.

After CFR, what freedoms, the government owns us as slaves until we rebel.

[Indie]

Got what they deserved, eh Mr FBI agent? Come for me in your jackboots and you'll have to ask yourself one question: Is this the hill you want to sacrifice yourself for?
Feds think they are gods and there is NO accountability. Even us local LEOs and ex-LEOs hate 'em. The Constitution means nothing to them. Many are the cream of the crop of "power hungry psychopaths." Excrement usually floats to the top.

Prayers for all of the innocents and children who were "saved" by the ATF and FBI by incineration. Janet and Bill can also rot in hades for their crimes.

[Lurker]

Send me his name and address.

I'd like to have a little chatsky with him.

I played around with my LeadTek TV card and burned a copy of this to CDR. It is long since out of publication. If anybody is REALLY interested, I will mail them a copy for free.

But only if you take seriously the idea that FBI/BATF agents shot Branch Davidians as they escaped the burning buildings.

John Danforth's "investigation" was a sham. Surprise, surprise.

But before the Law-Enforcement-Uber-Alles crowd attacks me, I agree with you, David Koresh was a pervert child molester and him and everyone who was with him deserved to be incinerated alive, especially the children. So leave me alone, okay?

[FormerACLUmember]

You need to realize this was not done by the democrats. It was done by the United States Government in violation of the US constitution.

Wrong. Do you for one instant believe that this would be permitted by George Bush? You need to understand that the Democrat Party hates Christianity and is doing everything in its power to destroy this religion.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I meand VCD, not CDR.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Wrong. Do you for one instant believe that this would be permitted by George Bush?

The preparation began under George I. There is documented video of the BATF storm troopers training at a military installation before Clinton was inaugurated. Clinton had barely been in office a month.

The murder of a woman, a kid, and his dog on Ruby Ridge occurred on GHW Bush's watch. Government has been out of control for many years.

No matter who we vote for, it always gets elected.

I have not had any respect for the fbi of batf since then.

At one time, when Hoover was the Director, the fbi was a decent organization.

The batf has never been anything but thugs.

The main difference between the criminal element and a fbi or batf agent is that the batf and fbi agent has a badge. All three have the same mindset.

Anyone who could burn those children alive is not human.
