"WACO The Big Lie"

Brief History

Between the days of February 28, 1993 and April 19th, 1993, approximately 80 men, women, and children living peacefully in their home near Waco, Texas, were killed by the combined efforts of the US Defense Department and other government paramilitary units: the US Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The incident also claimed the lives of four ATF agents.

The civilians lived in a religious community called the Mt. Carmel Center. They were called Branch Davidians.

The incident began with a military-style raid on February 28, complete with helicopter gunships firing down upon the women's and children's quarters. Then followed a long siege. On April 19, the US government sent tanks to GAS the building where the people lived. The government said they decided to gas the Davidians because they were concerned about the sanitary conditions in the house, because they were afraid one of the Davidians, David Koresh, was spanking babies, and because the FBI agents were getting tired.



The tanks tore big holes in the walls, drove into the house, and knocked down whole sections of the building. The government said they were only making make holes in the building so they could get the gas in, and let the people out. But no Davidians came out. To some, it seemed the tanks were demolishing the Branch Davidians' home while the people were still inside.

A fire broke out as the tanks were driving about. The fire became an inferno, lasted 40 minutes and burned the house to the ground. As they watched the inferno on TV, many wondered why they could not see Davidians escaping the burning building. Seventy-five people are said to have perished in the flames.

Much public concern was focused on the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the 33 women, children, and babies whose remains were found in a concrete room which served as a pantry and food storage area off the kitchen in the Mt. Carmel Center.

Circumstantial and physical evidence suggested to some Americans that the Branch Davidians were deliberately killed by the US government. A video was made which contained TV footage that showed what seemed to be a flame throwing tank backing out of the smashed building, flame coming out of its muzzle. Other footage showed uniformed US military personnel at the scene, and tanks fitted with plowblades pushing debris into the flaming rubble. The video was circulated nation-wide and caused people to become outraged.



The US government repeated that the tanks made holes in the building so that the Branch Davidians could come out, but that the Davidians refused to do so, and then committed suicide by setting themselves on fire.

Others said that the TV footage of the flame throwing tank was misleading. They said the fire started when the tanks accidentally tipped over some lanterns, and was fed by hay and household fuels that happened to be in the building. A public outcry for full Congressional hearings ensued.

Two years to the day after the April 19 fire, the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, where many federal offices were housed, was bombed. The US news services immediately inferred the building was bombed by those who objected to the Waco Holocaust. Waco Holocaust protesters said that the bombing of the Murrah building was most likely the work of the US government, seeking an excuse to extinguish Constitutional liberties, as evidenced by events in Waco.

Finally, more than two years after the April 19, 1993 inferno in Waco, Congress held lengthy hearings. The hearings were held with the stated purpose of finding the truth, wherever it lay. It was promised that the hearings would put the Waco controversy to rest.

Any serious investigation looks at physical evidence. And it examines that evidence directly. When serious investigators must rely on interpretations, they do not seek out interested parties to give those interpretations.

However, Congress ignored most of the available physical evidence. When they did look at evidence, Congress was highly selective. When interpretations were sought, most came from interested parties. And finally, when penetrating questions were asked, government employees were permitted to avoid answering.



Equal Justice Under Law

To fair-minded Americans, those words apply to both the Branch Davidians and their murderers.

As a society, we do not let murderers go free, for experience shows they will murder again. Under a system of equal justice, when physical and circumstantial evidence indicates a person has committed a crime, he or she is indicted and brought before a jury. So it should be: one rule of law for all.

The American Revolution specifically rejected the concept of the Divine Right of Kings. The American revolutionaries believed that legitimate political power arose from each and every individual person, and was delegated by them to government. The government was to be a servant of the people. Under this system, servants of the people (the government) have no Divine Right to murder their employers (the citizens).

Thomas Jefferson said that the tree of liberty is nourished by the blood of tyrants and the blood of patriots. We citizens of the US will not be intimidated into silence or acquiescence. We are the inheritors of the American Revolution.

By this crime, the US government proclaimed itself to be the enemy of the people. When the executive branch of government turns to murdering the citizens, what redress do the citizens have? Who will arrest and try a murderous general, and who will arrest and try a murderous attorney general?

Congress could have taken a number of immediate remedial actions. It could have conducted an honest, vigorous investigation. It could have immediately reduced funding to the agencies involved by the amount spent. It could have disbanded the units involved, fired the personnel, and prohibited them evermore from federal benefits and employment. It could have impeached the military and civilian officials involved; it could have seen that a Special Prosecutor was appointed, and vigorous prosecutions conducted.

When the Congressional hearings on Waco took place in the summer of 1995, many Americans hoped that an honest investigation would be done. But Congress suppressed the evidence and became accessories to the crime.

For less evidence than you see on these pages, ordinary people are convicted and sentenced to death. If the Serbs are justly tried for war crimes against the Bosnian Muslims, what hypocrisy makes the world community turn its face from the war crimes against the Branch Davidians? The Serbs are not even accused of killing children, as did the US in Waco.

It is because of the evidence you will see on these pages that Americans are arming themselves, to protect their families against the outlaws, whether the outlaws wear the uniforms of the US military or law enforcement.

Look at the evidence against the US military and law enforcement. We have documented their outrageous lies. We have the evidence of their murders. We have the autopsy reports, we have photos of the twisted bodies, of the tortured, gassed, mutilated, and burned.

Righteous people of the world: Look! You are the jury. Look at our shame!

Those who died - lest we forget
