"waco: Fire and Lies"
by R W Bradford
The FBI cut off water and power to the Davidian property, leaving the Davidians dependent on highly flammable fuel for light and warmth and with no means of fighting a fire should one break out. It chose a hot, dry, extremely windy day for its assault It on the people inside the wooden buildings, stacked high with baled hay, which the Davidians had placed against walls as protection against FBI bullets. The FBI assaulted with tanks firing canisters of poison gas with enough force to break through the walls, where they were liable to hit caches of fuel or lanterns the Davidians used for light. And each canister of poison gas, outlawed for use in warfare, bore the ominous warning: "May Start Fire." Under these conditions, fire was virtually inevitable, whether accidental, as the result of negligence, or by design of either the FBI or the Davidians. And so was the death of the Davidians and their children: they had no water to fight the fire and no means of escape (the building was sur- rounded by FBI snipers). The FBI kept fire engines miles away from the scene and refused to allow them to come to the scene until all in the Dravidian compound were dead.
In its defense , the FBI claimed that Davidians themselves had started the fires. As evidence, FBI officials claimed that they had heard the Davidians plan to start fires if they were attacked. There were two problems with this claim. Despite the fact that the FBI had the entire compound electronically bugged and had recorded virtually everything said inside, it was unable to provide tapes of Davidians making these plans. Even if the FBI had not been lying, the obvious implication is even more ominous: knowing that any attack would result in the Davidians burning down their buildings, which would inevitably result in their own deaths, and the deaths of innocent children, the FBI attacked anyway.
the webmaster notes: i have my civil rights violated by crooked pigs. when the pigs break the law its just doing their job. when i told the phoenix pigs they had to have a search warrent if they wanted to search my phoenix home - they simply took my keys and let themselfs into my home and trashed it - just part of the job. of course they didnt say they were sorry after they didnt find any illegal activity in my home. and the report they wrote up didnt mention the fact that they stole my keys and let themselfs into my home.
in the police report the bastards lied and said the home was unlocked. and it didnt mention i told the bastards they could search it unless they had a search warrent which they didnt.
A conspiracy is a joint action secretly designed to accomplish some evil, unlawful end. The Waco assaults was not the work of conspirators. They were the work of ordinary law enforcement bureaucrats doing their ordinary business.
A bunch of ATF agents didn't sit down and plot this secretly, without the knowledge of their superiors in violation of ordinary procedure. They sat down and planned it as they would any other arrest designed to gain them favorable publicity.
Nor did FBI agents conspire to kill the Davidians. FBI agents are taught to use whatever force is necessary to handle situations like this. Nor was the coverup a conspiracy to hide the truth. FBI agents are trained to omit embarrassing details from their After Action Reports. Killing the Davidians and covering up the details was no conspiracy. It was Standard Operating Procedure.
At Waco, the FBI did what the FBI does. To ask it to stop doing it is to ask it not to be the FBI any more. Which is precisely what Americans must do.
and the webmaster answers. probably cuz it didnt happen. if the FBI had audio tapes of the christian nuts at waco talking about how they were going to burn down the joint the fbi would have given it to the media in a nanosecond. but they didnt!
