Waco, the Big Lie
|
|
Review by Brian Francis Redman
|
|
|
|
I was surprised to find myself afraid to view this videotape.
|
|
When it came in the mail I did not rip open the package and kick
|
|
on the old VCR (I almost said "fire up" the old VCR). Instead
|
|
thoughts like, "Well later... perhaps tonight after dinner," came
|
|
into my mind. I did not want to see that government tank setting
|
|
fire to the Branch Davidian compound. Because if the government
|
|
*did* purposely start the fire, then it would logically follow
|
|
that xx xxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxxxxx was wrong and that xxx xxxxx was
|
|
in cahoots with them. I did not want to face that.
|
|
|
|
But I overcame my fears, stopped what I was doing, and watched
|
|
"Waco, the Big Lie."
|
|
|
|
The tape runs for about a half hour and is a professional quality
|
|
production. The horror of the government tank purposely starting
|
|
the fire in which all those innocent children were burned alive
|
|
is what people tend to focus on, but there are other aspects to
|
|
the video.
|
|
|
|
Early in the video, at the point in time where the press has
|
|
already been sequestered away from the crime scene, we see what
|
|
looks like a bedsheet hanging from one of the upper-story windows
|
|
of the Mount Carmel compound: "God Help Us. We Want the Press,"
|
|
it begs. Too late. The press is already setting up their RVs and
|
|
their lawn chairs and is more inclined to relax. As the video
|
|
makes clear, the "only news received by anyone in the U.S. will
|
|
be the official version told by agent Bob Ricks of the FBI."
|
|
|
|
"Waco, the Big Lie" includes video of Koresh beyond those couple
|
|
of clips we were shown over and over and over and over. Yes,
|
|
there *are* other shots of Koresh besides that one scene where he
|
|
is preaching to his flock. Viewers of the video get to see a
|
|
decent chunk of an interview with Koresh in which the following
|
|
exchange takes place:
|
|
|
|
INTERVIEWER: How many wives do you have?
|
|
KORESH: (sighs) One... *One*.
|
|
INTERVIEWER: Have you committed adultery?
|
|
KORESH: No. I don't commit adultery.
|
|
INTERVIEWER: Are you telling me the truth?
|
|
KORESH: I'm telling you the truth.
|
|
INTERVIEWER: Have you beaten children?
|
|
KORESH: No. I do not beat children.
|
|
|
|
So, in case anyone is interested, Koresh claims he didn't do it.
|
|
Or rather, *claimed*, seeing as he's dead now.
|
|
|
|
Also noteworthy are statements by two unidentified ATF agents:
|
|
|
|
AGENT #1: [Referring to his "superiors" at the BATF] The
|
|
thing that I find totally abhorrent and disgusting is,
|
|
these higher-level people took that same oath. And they
|
|
violate the basic principles and tenets of the
|
|
Constitution and simple ethics and morality. That's what
|
|
disgusts me.
|
|
|
|
AGENT #2: You know what's wrong with the ATF? The people
|
|
that I put in jail have more honor than the top
|
|
administration in this organization. I know it's a sad
|
|
commentary, but that's my experience with ATF.
|
|
|
|
The videotape clearly shows one agent shooting himself in the leg
|
|
on the day of the initial raid. Not so clear is one scene where
|
|
three agents on the roof enter the building through a window and
|
|
then are supposedly assassinated by a fourth agent.
|
|
|
|
And now, as to that tank that seems to be equipped with a fully
|
|
functioning flame thrower:
|
|
|
|
When I see the Zapruder film of Kennedy being shot, it sure looks
|
|
to me like one of the shots came more or less from the front. But
|
|
they found "experts" who say no.
|
|
|
|
When I see the videotape of Rodney King being clubbed by the Los
|
|
Angeles police, it sure looks to me like he is being beat up. The
|
|
"experts" disagree.
|
|
|
|
The saying goes that "If it walks like a duck and talks like a
|
|
duck, then, odds are, it's a duck." It sure looks to me like
|
|
there is a jet of flame shooting out of the barrel of that
|
|
government tank. Of course, I'm not an "expert."
|
|
|
|
Before the days of the modern State, there was the Church. The
|
|
Church had these people called "priests" who were posted to the
|
|
Church's various territories. Part of the job of the priests was
|
|
to explain to the people "how things are." The people gave their
|
|
faith to the priests and the priests told them what "reality"
|
|
was.
|
|
|
|
The modern State also has its "priests" only they are called
|
|
"experts." Like the priests of old, the experts explain to the
|
|
people "how things are." The people give their faith to the
|
|
experts (because people sometimes prefer to have someone else
|
|
think for them) and the experts tell them what "reality" is.
|
|
|
|
The videotape, "Waco, the Big Lie," has been sent to "experts" at
|
|
the University of Maryland for "analysis." How many of you think
|
|
these "experts" are going to conclude that, "yes, that is indeed
|
|
fire gushing out of the barrel of that tank."
|
|
|
|
Now, how many of you think that these "experts" are going to
|
|
conclude that, "no, it is not a flame. It is 'marsh gas' (or
|
|
whatever)."
|
|
|
|
**Right**.
