If you look around a bit you can find a picture of the bodies of the women and children lying togather inside of the cinder block room where they were all suffocated with CS.That one did it for me.

If Waco happened today I'm quite certain Janet Reno would of been fired and faced criminal charges. It's amazing how much she got away with back in the 90s.

I was almost 12 at the time, and I remember watching the news footage.  This story peaked my interest, as I was confused as to why military action was taken against people who obviously weren't going anywhere.  Made me realize at that age that the government will take any opportunity to overstep boundaries, and that there was a definative need to ensure that the populace remains armed.  This event also brought to light the events of Ruby Ridge, which I hadn't heard of at the time.  It made me do a lot of research and reading at the local library on related topics.  Coming of age in the 90s really formed my distrust of government, and shaped a lot of my current thought processes.  I wonder how long it will be before the current teen generation sees similar examples, as well as how it will shape their opinion of our current government?

Well, to be honest the .gov released audio they claimed was of Davidians "put the straw over here, pour kerosene there..", etc. Who knows who's voices those were? The feds did worse things at Mt. Carmel than producing a fake audio. If it was fake. May be real. I don't know.

Hole blown in the top of the "bunker" where the women and children were holed up.





A not so missing front door complete with tank tracks. Also, note the Davidian's ".50cal machine guns" leaned against the cabinet.

Ignoring all of the other acts of the BATFE and the FBI, Waco was a prime example of how driving the public relations message will sway the overwhelming majority of Americans.

1.  Koresh became a "cult" leader.  Most people don't know that they were an offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventists that had been around for almost 50 years in that place.  He was the current preacher in charge.  Ignore the word "cult" and think about the government raiding the Seventh Day Adventists.  Doesn't sound so scary, does it?

2.  Koresh was running a meth lab.  The BATFE told this story to get military assistance (which would be otherwise illegal).  The only drugs at the place were from a lab that they found on the property years before and reported to the local law enforcement.

3.  They were stockpiling ammo and guns to repel an invasion.  In reality, they had an FFL and maintained inventory to sell at gun shows.  

4.  Koresh was molesting young girls.  Whether moral or not, the local sheriff found that the relationships were with marriage and parental consent, legal in Texas.

America remembers Koresh as a cult leader and child molester.

In the same vein as Holder is being held accountable for the thousands of weapons from the various Fast & Furious type of operations that went south in violation of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 as codified in 22 U.S.C. to cause thousands of deaths by cartel related violence in Mexico?

I was just there a couple of weeks ago. When you get there, they put up big entryway to the road. Kinda looks like a private driveway, just drive through.



You can drive right up to the new church and they have Waco handouts in a box by the front door. They have a couple of memorials with a big one by the front gate..



One of the church members came out and he said take all the pictures you want..




The one thing that I did notice, they had a great view of everything.. Even if they were not tipped off, the land is basically flat and you can see anything coming at you for miles.  




There is nothing there except the pool.




It is not really worth the trip, but if you do go, stop at Texas Ranger Museum is in Waco. A very nice museum.

This is correct. I believe Delta members made an assault on the compound. There are many bits and pieces of evidence that support this conclusion. Most of you are probably aware of them. There was a large number of Delta soldiers that left the Army shortly after the Waco siege. Many of these were the same soldiers that participated in the Battle of Mogadishu the previous year. Now they all own training academies on large parcels of land and enjoy generous government training contracts. What convinced me was hearing that one of these former Delta trooper who is well known in the training community state that he paid for his several thousand acre ranch in the 90's with money he earned from a single days work. His words were to the effect, "It was a very long day". I know a 20 year Army retirement isn't generous enough to pay off a several thousand acre property. Contracting pays big bucks but not that big especially in the mid 90's. So how did so many former Delta troopers get suddenly 6 or 7 figure windfalls? Add that to the evidence already out there from FBI agents, FLIR footage(Most of the FLIR experts that testified have since mysteriously died), etc. and it points pretty strongly in that direction.

Janet Reno did take full responsibility for that, but nothing really happened to her.

It all depends on who's doing the killing as to whether it's OK or not.  Your government and the press all say Waco was perfectly OK.

Yes it does sound a bit tinfoil at first but he did say it. If it was the only piece of evidence I would say you are correct but it stands atop a mountain. If it wasn't a government buyout to ensure silence then where did the money come from? What other "Jobs" could a Delta soldier perform that would pay about a million dollars a day. Even famed British Mercenary Mad Mike Hoare was not offered that kind of money for leading the failed take over of Seychelles, a sovereign nation. Certainly we would have heard about a similar high profile operation in the mid 90's but one never ocurred.

As I remember, the events that led up to the day in April when the building burned to the ground, killing 81 men, women and children.
     The anger and anguish I felt that day can only compare to the feelings I felt on September 11th when the towers fell.And then when the place was bulldozed even before the smoke had cleared, I knew if it could happen there it could happen anywhere.
     This is what I remember. Those guys used to buy sell and trade stuff at gun shows mostly accessories like magazines and gun parts and lots of books. Some guns, but mostly other stuff. UPS was delivering a box with inert hand grenades, the ones with the hole on the bottom. The box fell and broke open and the UPS guy thought they were real. He called the sheriff's department before the ATF got involved. The ATF rented a place across the street and started surveillance and befriended some of the Dividians. Koresh even invited them over to dinner, they didn't go. After a while, they got a warrant for David Koresh.
      As the weeks passed, Koresh frequently went into town and the ATF passed up opportunities to pick him up when he was alone. So they waited until the last day of the warrant which expired February 28th.
     They set up the raid with the news media tagging along so that the world could see what a great job the ATF was doing. What the world saw was the ATF getting their asses handed to them. On the way, one of the reporters stopped the mailman to ask directions, turns out the mailman was a Dividian who alerted the group that the ATF was coming.
       What ensued was well documented and can be seen on youtube. Look up DAY 51 if you have never watched it please take the time to do so. In the warrant, the ATF made claims that there were drugs involved, in order to get an Army Reserve helicopter., because the military could only participate if drugs were involved. Drugs were never involved. Some of the people came out before the end of the siege, and the children spoke of sun beams appearing through the small holes in the ceiling. These were made from a M-60 machine gun being shot into the building indiscriminately. Throughout the siege, they accused the Dividians of everything under the sun from abuse to making illegal weapons. Although none of these claims was ever substantiated.
       Most of the awareness that we have today about the abuse of government and gun bans comes from the mass outrage due to the events in Waco twenty years ago, as well as Ruby Ridge the previous year. Please share what you remember so that we can educate the younger members. Again, watch DAY 51 waco 8 parts at allot or religious crap but the videos don't lie
And this was 20 years ago could be today

Pay attention to the hearings and see who was there Shumer Feinstein Biden the look on their face says it all

Who needs a gun

Please watch this and remind your friends this can happen today to any of us
