Here's more information about Clive Doyle.

David Koresh & The Cuckoo's Egg

It's a lenghty interview but is full of first-hand information about Doyle's background and his involvement with Mt.C.

You're quite welcome. And I'll offer a bit of an apology. I'm a bit touchy on this subject. I've done more than just a small amount of research on what happened at Waco as well as at Ruby Ridge.

If you want to learn more about that atrocity I suggest the book "Every Knee Shall Bow". Fascinating reading as to the lengths the Federal government will go when one of it's middle level goons feels the slightest bit challenged by one of us serfs they're supposed to be 'serving'.

Did someone just not like these folks or what?

The most plausible theory to me has been that they were just pawns in a drama with higher stakes...

Many in the US were just beginning to emerge from the shock that Bill Clinton was elected President with only 40% of the popular vote, and DESPITE the publication of all of the allegations in the book Slick Willie! They were begining to ask QUESTIONS...

Those 4 BATF agents killed during the initial raid had been assigned to Clinton's security detail during the campaign...they knew ANSWERS to some of those QUESTIONS...and had to be silenced to preserve the Clinton regime.

But the Branch Davidians (offshoot of 7th Day Adventists) turned out (unexpectedly) to have backbone & were willing to stand up for the US Constitution. This presented a serious threat to the Clinton regime and led to their knee-jerk reaction to throw the Constitution out the window and send in US Armed Forces to burn down a church in Texas, killing any women & children inside the church, as necessary.

The best way to save the village was to burn it! Classic thinking leftover from the Vietnam era...

Wikipedia, the only info source less useful than Katy Couric.

Can you disprove an of the claims in the article I pointed you to? If not, it would certainly seem to be more reliable than someone who claims that Koresh was 'law abiding'.

Got a more reputable source than Wikipedia?

Haven't bothered to look. I figure it is your turn. . .can you disprove any of the claims in the article? If not, it appears Wiki in this case is more reliable than those who claim Koresh was 'law-abiding'.

Prove a negative? Guess again.

In other words, you cannot point to any articles indicating that these charges were disproved? No court records or transcripts?

Okay, then I have no reason to believe that Koresh was 'law-abiding'.
