Having been attacked by over 100 armed BATF agents on a Sunday morning in late February 1993, the Branch Davidians, a small band of fundamentalist Christians living at a Church commune near Waco, Texas were surrounded. They had been surrounded for 51 days, subjected to psychological warfare techniques and surrounded by federal law enforcement agents who had lost all patience. What the BATF couldn't accomplish, the FBI was going finish. Despite the presence of innocent infants, children, adolescents and women the FBI ordered a military style attack on the buildings of the compound. The rest is history......
You know no facts at all about Waco, it is a wonder you can even spell it, and you are arguing against several of the leading scholars of the subject.
What one fact have you posted? Is Waco north or south of Belton? At what other town was Koresh headquartered before moving to the property near Waco?
You know nothing about this buddy, you are hired to put us down, abuse should be reported, you should be banned.
It figures that you would be a regular there. Why don't you go on back and join the rest of the dregs of society, troll?
LOL! OK....The loonies are REALLY out tonight!!!
Let me guess...You've got a Y2K Bunker, don't you?
It is not subject to debate that federal police fired on the building--such was the finding of Carlos Ghigliotti, whose decaying body was found in his home lab. He followed a series of investigators who had met with accident, illness and death, preventing their assistance to the Davidian case.
A Delta operative rode a tank to place a shaped charge on the roof of the Concrete Room, which blew a concave hole down onto the twenty to thirty women and children therein who were subsequently reduced to shrivelled human briquets.
The "warrant" and the waiver of posse comitatus were obtained under obscenely false pretense, the same big lies on which the demonization of the Davidians was based: In fact, there were NO drugs or drug manufacturing, the charge of child molestation might have applied years prior before David Koresh's leadership but not contemporaneously, the firearms charges were preponderantly false--and David Koresh had in fact invited the BATF to visit and inspect--which they of course declined.
The front doors, as well as the entire complex, were destroyed as evidence. Thirty bodies of Davidians liquified when the forensic cooler was "accidentally unplugged".
The "re-enactment" was objected to as unrepresentative of actual conditions, and the British infrared firm was deemed complicit with federal agencies.
What was presented as a battle against evil was indeed that, but the evil was the force on the outside which murdered those within.
What was his wife's maiden name?
What was the name of his biological father?
What is the name of his mother's present husband?
At what town did Koresh grow up?
Where did Koresh spend January of 1985?
At what school did Koresh drop out of the 9th grade?
Yes, I know all of those, and a thousand others. You should be ashamed to speak. JS ought to be ashamed to appear in front of a FReep audience.
You have not presented any facts to back up your claims, so this is the best you can do? Bwahahaha!
Why don't you take an hour or two and research the facts then come back and make your arguments? Otherwise, you just make yourself look like an idiot.
I sure hope you're not an investigative reporter, you don't really have the skills or intelligence for that. Then again, you probably work for NBCBSABCNN, so you don't need any investigative skills. Just believe everything fed.gov tells you.
Janet Reno is the Butcher of Waco.
What is the name of the Jamaican national who mailed hate letters to leading Govt. officials in the name of the Davidians?
In what town were they holed up? How many different letters were sent, and to whom? How many copies in all?
What is the post office address of the Davidian property? What is the nearest hamlet? From what town did the first fire truck arrive on April 19, only to be turned back by FBI?
What Harvard lawyer, a black man, was David's second in command and died with four of his children in the Waco fire?
The left wingers are very dangerous because they think the right wingers are just as evil as they are, but more so. And they can justify their evil because of the perceived greater good.
Slandered the freepers and made them cry
But when crystalk came out to play
Johnny whiney ran away.
And again...Please don't group all Freepers (Specifically me) in with you Freaks. You give us all a bad name...Not to mention what you do to Republicans and Conservatism.
You, and people like you are EXACTLY like the liberal freaks who believe the movie JFK and believe in "The Corporate Media" and Cynthia McKinney's charges. You just vote differently...
Naaaa.....If nothing else, our freaks at least vote correctly. Well......At least DON'T vote for liberals, that is....
Ps...Anyone who realizes you people are freaks (And dares to say so) is NOT automatically some dumbass from DUhhhhh. Just sane.
Believe me...I usually just ignore you. But sometimes, I like to point-out to the lurkers that very few Freepers are freaks like you people.
Again...I mean no disrepect personally. I don't know you. But, I can't stand conspiracy theorists...So I spoke-up this time.
Name a suburb of Waco? In what county does it lie?
What religion were the great majority of the persons living at the Waco compound?
How many were black, Hispanic, Asian, or White? How many Jews were in the fire on April 19?
I am a serious scholar of the Waco events, certainly one of the top 100 in the country, and you have not shown me or anyone else that you have one minute's conversancy with the elements of the case.
You are the one who is in the minority here....
But, I can't stand conspiracy theorists...So I spoke-up this time.
There is no conspiracy, these facts that the majority of us have presented are well documented.
It's really a shame you don't even have the intelligence to check out the facts before presenting your "opinions."
You have been here less than one year (Sept. 15, 2001) and you presume to know more than those who have been here for years and have actually researched the issue?
Why don't you present some facts to back up your tirades....at least I'd respect you if you had something relevant to say. As it stands now, you are nothing more than a mindless shill.
That's interesting....you say you work for the "corporate media", and yet you claim the rest of us who have actually used our brains to research and learn the truth about what happened at Waco are somehow brainwashed by it.
Your posts grow more and more pathetic.
