Hillary Clinton and the Chain of Command at Waco
American Thinker ^ | October 23, 2014 | David T. Hardy

Posted on 10/23/2016 4:35:12 AM PDT by Kaslin

Many politicians have a skeleton in their closet. Hillary Clinton has a cemetery, with a sign reading “Waco.”

The 1993 Waco showdown began when federal authorities rushed the communal home of a religious group, killing six of them, and losing four agents in return. The FBI then besieged the place with tanks and other armored vehicles, and ended up with the armored vehicles punching holes in the building, and injecting massive quantities of CS “tear gas.” When that didn’t work, the tanks began to demolish the building, eventually smashing about a quarter of it and damaging the remainder. A fire broke out and 74 people died in the flames, including twenty-one children. It was the deadliest law enforcement operation in American history.

After the tragic debacle, the Clinton administration claimed that Attorney General Janet Reno had been solely responsible for the final assault. There had been no White House input during the siege, and at the end, President Clinton only acquiesced in a decision Reno had made.

Twenty-three years later, there are substantial reasons to doubt the truth of these claims. The evidence is strong that the Clinton White House was calling the shots, and that Hillary played a prominent role.

My understanding is he is still vertical.

I hope someone can prove me wrong.

Waco was one of the worst domestic abuses of federal power in history.

To this day I am shocked that many Americans weren't particularly disturbed at the horrifying way innocent people, including many children, were put to death at Waco. I believe this was because the media so successfully demonized the Branch Davidians.

This story about Hillary reminds me of one of the other great abuses of federal power in our history ... BJ Clinton's war against the Serbians.

Iirc it was Hillary calling the shots there too. E.g., it was reported she was behind the bombing of the Serb TV building in Belgrade. Why did Hillary order it? Because Serb TV was "spreading propaganda," presumably about the Muslim invasion of Kosovo.

But the people Hillary succeeded in killing were innocent tv technicians and make up girls.

I've always thought this was the equivalent of, say, Serbia deciding to bomb CNN headquarters in Atlanta because CNN was spreading anti-Serbian propaganda.

Someone on here told me that he was working for some firearms company or something like that.

I would like to point out that the use of “cs” gas is a part of the big lie. It was “cn”,

CS is FAR worse than CN. CS will make you drown in your own mucous. CN is for police use, CS for military.

“None of this is illegal, which is probably why Koresh wasn’t grabbed solo while in town. The arresters might have had to pay out millions for religious discrimination.”

If they had a warrant for his ARREST, they certainly could have grabbed him anywhere. If their warrant was to search the compound for illegal weapons and drugs, maybe not so much.

“Point is, they could have grabbed him any old time in town.”

Yep... and don’t forget the sheriff at the time (Harwell, I think) stated that he could have nabbed him at a local club (Chelsea’s Street Pub... used to be at Richland Mall) with ease as Koresh quite often played music there. That sheriff also died under mysterious circumstances. Hmmmm.

Wake up America.
