Right. Maybe it was space aliens.

I don’t understand your comment.

A thorough study of the Waco incident would make it clear to any thinking person that the “official” story of the event is patently false.

Koresh was a nut. He thought he was the “Lamb” of Revelation. But that is not a federal crime - yet.

The ATF was scheduled for budget hearings in March ‘93. The agency had gotten terrible publicity because of Ruby Ridge in the summer of ‘92. They wanted to stage a big raid and seize a bunch of weapons and justify their funding.

They thought the Davidians would be an easy target. They were wrong.

What had Koresh done up to that point, besides shorten a shotgun for some FBI plant who needed someone to squeeze for info?

Some of it may have been exxagerated, but the information didn't seem false.

No, they did find many 'long guns'. Of course, I never saw them prove the guns were 'illegal'.

AND, if there were the quantity of explosives that the WARRANT SPECIFIES, the compound wouldn't have just caught fire, and a hole wouldn't have been blown just through the rebar-reinforced concrete ceiling of the SAFE ROOM where the children and women were hiding.

There would only have been a giant crater where the complex used to be.
