FACTS OF OMISSION EXPOSES MEDIA AGENDA Ian Goddard Date: Tuesday, August 31, 1999 7:39 PM (free to forward) 8/31/99 Ian Williams Goddard While the major media is covering Waco, their selection of facts to cover further exposes the major culprits in the Waco cover-up, the media. For six years the major media has spoon-fed the People "federal pabulum" with no regard for the shocking facts known to independent investigators. Observe now that the focus of virtually all major- media reports are two 40-millimeter pyrotechnic projectiles that were fired away from the main building hours before the fire on April 19, ...

C-SPAN replays 1995 Waco Hearings C-SPAN is replaying the 1995 Capitol Hill Waco Hearings. I watch, and there they are, the same goons from the Democratic Party, John Conyers, Sheila Jackson-Lee, all the various browbeaters that put on their shocking partisan circus act to cover up for Clinton during the Impeachment trial. And there they were, the various political operatives for the BATF and Reno, et all. Chuck Schumer was simply not interested in investigating anything - he was simply there to cover for Reno and twist reality, to stretch and meld unconnected facts together without giving background of the ...

Schumer wants to investigate Waco Reno is so shocked with the latest evidence (the "infrared" tapes of voice conversations of agents saying they got to CS gas 'em 'cause the "regular" tear gas "isn't working"), and she's so shocked and angry with the folks at the FIB, I mean the FBI, misleading her, that she wants to appoint someone to investigate. One of the tapes contains radio conversations between federal agents in which the order is given to use CS gas because "these ferrets are not working", that the "regular" tear gas "isn't working". In fact she is so shocked ...

BURN BABIES, BURN In 1997, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno spoke at the University of California’s Hastings College of Law school commencement address. The very idea of this person speaking to a commencement address is abhorrent. "Learn how to negotiate,'' she told the graduates.. "Use mediation and other appropriate forms of resolution. Use the tools of common sense…" she said. I guess Waco Texas is an example of the kind of negotiation she is talking about. "I love the law and lawyers,'' Reno said Yeah. No kidding. In her words, the law and lawyers, she told the graduates, meld in ...

Taxing Costs of Gun Injuries Some Cities Want Gun Makers To Reimburse Them Washington (CBS) August 03, 1999 Every year more than 130,000 Americans are rolled into a hospital with a gunshot wound. Figure in rehabilitation costs, and the annual total for treating all gunshot patients swells to $2.3 billion. The government gets the bill because the majority of the people who end up shot or shooting themselves have no insurance. Not much of this information was surprising to doctors, but it's sure catching attention of several cities that are suing the gun industry. They want to be reimbursed for ...
