Did someone just not like these folks or what? Oh so the ex-wife is the cause of all this. Where is she now? I mean I would like to hear what she has to say for herself.
No one's really sure why it happened. The ex-wife was one of the instigators who claimed child-abuse. Another was the blind-man who also claimed to have received 'extensive weapons training' while at Mt.C. I'm not really sure where she is. The last I heard, she was in Hawaii.
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...
