> 1997: Waco Questions Congress Refuses to Answer
>
>by Carol Moore, member, Committee for Waco
>Justice and author "The Davidian Massacre"
>cmoore@capaccess.org 202/635-3739
>
> In early 1995 many Americans held high hopes that
>Republican-promised "Waco hearings" would finally expose federal agents'
>crimes against the Davidians and the government coverup of those crimes.
>The House of Representatives held 10 days of "Waco" hearings in the
>summer of 1995. The Senate held two days of such hearings in the fall.
>The hearings did reveal over-aggressiveness and duplicity by agents and
>officials of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) and the
>Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). However, Congress' final
>conclusion followed the party line--the Davidians ambushed BATF and
>committed mass suicide. Questions of crimes by these agents were rarely
>raised and evidence of such, when alleged or chanced upon, discounted.
> Nevertheless, citizens continue to produce new books and films
>cataloguing compelling evidence that hyped-up BATF agents shot first as
>David Koresh opened the front door, even as other agents shot from
>helicopters, killing four Davidians. BATF left ample bullet hole
>evidence in the walls and roofs of the building of this indiscriminate
>and illegal gunfire. The Davidians repeatedly told negotiators that when
>this evidence was discovered Davidians would be freed and federal agents
>would be prosecuted. Fearing they were right, and angry at the deaths of
>four BATF agents, FBI Hostage Rescue Team agents deliberately destroyed
>evidence of BATF gunfire outside the building. And they repeatedly
>sabotaged negotiations and pushed for a gas and tank attack that
>could--and ultimately did--destroy the building and its incriminating
>evidence.
> Many Americans believe the U.S. Congress cares more about protecting
>these federal agents from prosecution than about protecting the American
>people from such agents. If Congress is to reassure the American people
>this is not true, it must re-open hearings on Waco to answer the
>questions below and/or call for a special prosecutor.
>For action call or fax:
>House Judiciary Committee 202/225-3951 fax-225-7682
>Senate Judiciary Committee 202/224-5225 fax-224-9102
>
> QUESTIONS ABOUT FEBRUARY 28, 1997
>1. House investigators determined that "someone" at BATF lied to the
>military about the Davidians being involved with drugs in order to get
>U.S. Army Special Forces and other military aid. Instead of pulling out
>the stops to discover who lied, investigators only whined about the fact
>that military staff at Fort Bragg were not made available to them or had
>been pre-interviewed.
>
>2. One of the chief raid planners was William Buford, Special Agent in
>Charge of Little Rock BATF and a personal acquaintance of President Bill
>Clinton. The day after the February 28 raid, then-Deputy Treasury
>Secretary Roger Altman visited the injured Buford in a Texas hospital.
>Congress never asked about this visit or whether Clinton or his staff had
>any foreknowledge of the raid.
>
>3. During the House hearings it was revealed that imprisoned Davidian
>Brad Branch, who was standing behind the unarmed David Koresh at the
>front door, claims he saw an agent shoot a dog as other agents rushed the
>door. He claims one approaching agent panicked and started shooting at
>Koresh, wounding him and mortally wounding his father- in-law. Why did
>congressional investigators merely whine in their report that the
>Treasury Department did not let it interview agents before the hearings?
>Why not grill them now?
>
>4. Why doesn't Congress methodologically investigate the copious
>forensic and eyewitness evidence that BATF agents in the Blackhawk
>helicopter shot at Davidians? Instead it quiescently accepts the denials
>of two BATF agents and 3 National Guard helicopter pilots--who themselves
>may have shot or covered up others' shooting. Such evidence includes:
>BATF discussions of using helicopter gunfire as a diversion; an agent in
>the helicopter admitting agents were armed and permitted to fire in
>self-defense; the government's allegations Davidians fired at
>helicopters, which might have triggered such a "self-defense" response,
>even before such gunfire began; BATF video from inside the helicopter
>showing the closeness of the approach to the building and containing
>sounds of close-up gunfire; television video showing bullets entering the
>roof from an almost perpendicular angle; two Davidians' complaints to 911
>officers during the raid about such firing; thirteen Davidian survivors'
>testimony about it; Davidian attorneys and a prosecution witness'
>testimony about bullet hole evidence in the highest roof; autopsy
>evidence indicating four Davidians probably were killed from gunfire from
>above.
>
>5. Why didn't Congress do a systematic investigation of the "second
>shooting" of Davidian Michael Schroeder as he approached Mount Carmel
>several hours after the raid? There is evidence that BATF agents, angry
>at BATF agents' deaths, gave scant warning as they opened fire on
>Schroeder, who died of three wounds to the back and two to the head.
>Troubling evidence like shooting heard after the incident and Schroeder's
>missing cap suggests that agents then approached and "finished off" the
>wounded man with shots to the head. The FBI would not allow Texas
>Rangers to investigate the area for ten days after the shooting, making
>it impossible to check for footprints.
>
>QUESTIONS ABOUT SABOTAGE OF NEGOTIATIONS
>6. Why didn't Congress grill prosecutors and federal agents about the
>moving and destruction of automobiles, trucks and a trailer during the
>siege? Why hasn't Congress asked FBI siege commander Jeff Jamar and chief
>negotiator Byron Sage--as well as Hostage Rescue Team commander Richard
>Rogers--about their reactions to the Davidians' allegations that bullet
>hole evidence in the building would lead to Davidian acquittals and
>convictions of agents? These questions must be asked in light of Jamar
>and Sage's conflicting or dubious explanations to Congress about why they
>withheld from their superiors and Attorney General Janet Reno important
>information which would have scuttled the gas and tank attack that they
>supported.
>
>7. During the Senate hearings FBI Waco negotiator Cliff Van Zandt
>confirmed an allegation by a Davidian hearing witness: every time
>Davidians cooperated with the FBI by releasing people, the Hostage Rescue
>Team would punish them with acts like destruction of property, turning
>off electricity, or escalated harassment. Why hasn't Congress grilled
>Hostage Rescue Team commander Richard Rogers and all Hostage Rescue Team
>members about this phenomena?
>
>QUESTIONS ABOUT APRIL 19, 1993
>8. While FBI agents claim Davidians threw their phone out the window on
>April 19, Davidians deny this, asserting a tank cut the phone wire before
>the gas attack began. This made it impossible for Davidians to negotiate
>a safe surrender. The same agents claim Davidians immediately fired on
>the tanks, which Davidians also deny. This gunfire allegation gave the
>FBI the excuse to speed up the gas attack and quickly proceed to the
>demolition of the building--and an excuse not to fix the phones. Such
>actions and lies by the agents ensured the building would be destroyed.
>They also ensured Davidians would be terrified of exiting and being shot,
>even as they hung a banner asking that their phones be fixed. Why
>doesn't Congress take every FBI agent at the scene aside and grill each
>about the events of that day?
>
>9. During the House hearing Representative Howard Coble complained that
>the U.S. Army had not yet provided to the Committee any evidence of
>alleged damage to army tanks from Davidian gunfire on April 19. One
>staffer told me they did finally receive that material from the army.
>However, if so, it was not included in the transcripts, as requested by
>Mr. Coble. Is the House investigating committee hiding evidence that
>there was no Davidian gunfire?
>
>10. Before Attorney General Janet Reno left the FBI Operations Center in
>Washington on April 19, around 11:00 a.m., she had a telephone
>conversation with Bill Clinton, one she mentioned during the 1993 House
>hearings. Incredibly, in neither these nor 1995 hearings did
>representatives question her about the content of this conversation.
>Reno left soon after and put then-Associate Attorney General Webster
>Hubbell in charge. Representatives did not ask her questions about what
>communication she had with Hubbell in the next two hours that passed
>before the fire. Nor have they asked if wealthy Waco businessman Bernard
>Rappaport--who paid Hubbell $18,000 after he resigned in disgrace from
>the Justice Department--might have had any input into Justice Department
>or White House decisions on Waco. Nor have they asked Lisa Foster why
>one reason she believed her husband, White House counsel Vince Foster,
>killed himself was he felt guilty about "Waco."
>
>11. Will Congress finally dispute the FBI and Justice Department claims
>that nearly two dozen Davidians were on the first floor but refused to
>leave the building? Davidians claim these men and women were trapped on
>the second floor because the tanks destroyed the stairwells.
>
>12. Former U.S. Army and BATF fire investigator Richard Sherrow
>testified at the hearings. He later signed an affidavit for the
>Davidian civil suits stating that there is a strong probability that an
>FBI tank started at least one fire on the second floor that, fed by
>strong winds through long hallways, quickly spread to the rest of the
>building. He notes suggestive evidence that FBI agents shot an
>incendiary "flash bang" into the gymnasium after the first fire started.
>Will Congress finally take this evidence seriously--even it means the
>U.S. government may lose 1.5 billion dollars in lawsuits?
>
>13. Why did several FBI tanks continue ploughing burning, bullet-pocked
>walls and other evidence into the fire for at least ten minutes towards
>the end of the fire, as seen on television videos? (During the hearings
>one FBI tank driver volunteered a dubious answer, a possible attempt to
>pre-empt such a question.)
>
>14. The controversial new film "Waco: The Rules of Engagement" provides
>evidence relevant to most of the questions above. It also presents
>infrared video experts who opine that there is clear infrared video
>evidence that FBI agents shot at Mount Carmel, perhaps at escaping
>Davidians, during the fire. Will Congress take these allegations
>seriously enough to grill FBI agents about this?
>
>QUESTIONS ABOUT PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT IN BRANCH DAVIDIAN TRIAL
>15. Confidential memoranda and handwritten notes revealed during the
>1995 House Waco hearings exposed the fact that the Treasury Department,
>under pressure from the Justice Department and Webster Hubbell, halted
>its post-February 28 raid shooting review because agents' stories "did
>not add up." In fact, interviewers were generating "exculpatory" material
>that could help the Davidian defendants at trial. Hubbell promised to
>produce his "Waco files" to Congress, but did not do so. Does Congress
>condone this unconstitutional Justice Department practice of squelching
>evidence that might help defendants?
>
>16. The Department of Justice would not allow a company chosen by House
>investigators to independently test the Davidians' guns to see if they
>really are illegal machine guns, or if the FBI was falsely claiming
>this. It then claimed the Department could not afford to independently
>test them. Considering recent findings of faulty FBI lab work, and even
>evidence of fabrication of evidence, this FBI allegation, which has led
>to 140 year sentences for six Davidians, must be independently verified.
>
> Former Los Angeles police officer Mark Fuhrman said on his infamous
>tapes, "cops" don't need to conspire together to protect each other when
>they commit crimes, they know what to do. The same goes for federal
>agents, even from competing agencies like BATF and FBI. These are "cover
>your butt" conspiracies. However, a truly committed Congress can break
>through law enforcement's vow of silence. Otherwise "Waco" will remain a
>prime symbol of the crumbling legitimacy of the federal government.

> It has been several months now, since the events of Mt.
>Carmel and the deaths of those whom I have loved. Since March of
>1993, I have experienced life on a number of jail cells across
>the State of Texas. As a continuation of the injustice practiced
>against us, we were also made to endure this governments shameful
>attempt to hide its atrocities through the judicial process. For
>seven weeks, we were dragged through the courts, shackled hands
>and feet. By courtesy of the electronic media, we were paraded
>before the world, humiliated, demonized and lied about. Although
>judged and convicted, I remain unconvinced of any guilt. In my
>soul I am continually reminded of my innocence, and the innocence
>of my family and friends who were there with me. We have become
>part of the continuing story of justice undone. Since the dawn
>of time, the endurance by the just of the injustice of the
>unjust. Another case for the statute books, showing the frailty
>of the judgments of men separated from a knowledge of God.
> In his humanity, mankind beholds the evils he perpetuates.
>Through his conscience he is reminded of its evilness. But his
>heart fails him of the will and power to do good. Justice is
>left undone. In his fearfulness of pending judgment he hides his
>guilt. But he remains insecure in his hiding places.
> With each passing day I am reminded how transient our
>experience here really is. The onset of age, the sights of death
>etches in the chambers of the mind, how little control we hold
>over the body and its life. In our exasperation we seek solace
>in engulfing ourselves in what we call living. Getting on with
>life, for time is too short to think about it. But we are not
>comforted. For after the body has received its fill, the soul
>cries out for satisfaction. The utterances of the past, that
>once satisfied, are now worn out empty phrases. Like vomit
>offered before us. We have grown! Experience has pushed us
>beyond that which we were. We have become, and require new
>forms, material and abstract, capturing and expressing that which
>we now are. Comforting us in our birth pains and inspiring us in
>our newly emerging hopes and dreams.
> My desire and will to pursue what was once of interest, has
>been steadily sucked from me. I now live and breathe the truth
>of the Seven Seals and the future it envisions. A future
>according to the will of God. We have seen it, tasted it, now
>nothing else will do. The plans of the UN government are
>unworkable. The scars we bear from the shortcomings of the
>family, local and national governmental institutions, remain as
>witnesses to the fact, that mankind cannot govern himself. To
>seek to collectively govern billions of people can only end in
>disaster. Evidently, the lessons of history along with present
>observations, continue to be ignored. Right was the testimony of
>the prophet Jeremiah;
> The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately
>wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)
> Further;
> O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It
>is not in man that walketh to direct his step. (Jeremiah 10:23)
> This present external reality in all its forms, material and
>abstract, is but an irritating distraction from the truth of my
>soul. My interaction with this reality has become one of
>necessity, and a want not to offend. At best it has become
>burdensome. I contend with God daily, to bring this nightmare
>humans call living to its conclusion. My contention reaches to
>the point of bartering my souls salvation. I find myself at a
>place in my spiritual journey, where losing my soul and ceasing
>to exist, offers itself as a more preferable alternative than to
>remain in the body, albeit with the knowledge of God. I hate the
>flesh with a passion. In this state of mind, it is a constant
>source of irritation having to interact with minds still confined
>to thoughts arising out of the fleshly concerns. It calls forth
>much patience to endure. In my present circumstances I am left
>little choice.
> My situation intensifies as my mind expands, deepening its
>grasp of the knowledge of God and His Christ. I am powerless to
>stop this process, designed to restore the soul after the divine
>order. On the one hand I love it passionately, on the other I
>hate it with a vengeance. My being present in the flesh, is the
>source of this hatred. It arises from the pain experienced by
>the mind of the flesh, as it is pressed out of existence, being
>replaced by the mind of the Spirit. Conversely, my love for it
>arises out of the greater good envisioned in the mind of the
>Spirit. One vision of reality with its hopes and dreams, being
>replaced by another far greater. It is not always easy to give

> I know of a certainty, that I am a recipient of Gods saving
>work for this generation. The knowledge and spirit of the Seven
>Seals attest to this fact. Consequently, I take pleasure in the
>knowledge He is acting on my behalf for my ultimate advantage, in

>Its effective communication, in lieu of the high cost of lives,
>has been something of a sacred concern to me. I have come to
>appreciate experientially true freedom. It is of inestimably
>greater value than life in this body of death. I dedicate this
>book to the many who have awakened to the knowledge of this most
>precious of all divine gifts. Some have shown their awakening
>through the sacrifice of their lives for a higher purpose.
>Others, through suffering incarceration for its principles.
>Others still yet, by refusing to be insulted in the belief that,
>access to materialism enabling the satisfaction of the lusts of
>the body, constitutes freedom. We refuse to submit our integrity
>as beings, created in the image of God, to that of base man-made
>forms, material and abstract. They are there to serve us, and
>not us them. We continue to hold to the ultimate justice of the
>supreme God. Hoping in his soon coming Kingdom and reign here on
>earth. May our hopes be soon realized and with it the
>destruction of all wickedness and corruption, and those who
>perpetuate such.
> I make particular mention of my family and friends at Mt.
>Carmel. In the short time we are apart whether by death or
>distance, I honor the memory. Also to the many friends I have
>come to know since these events, I salute your virtue. May our
>friendship be as enduring as God, and equally as rewarding.

> Mt. Carmel: Out of the Ashes

> In my experience of this justice system, in the wake of
>events at Mt. Carmel, I am left in no doubts, that the judicial
>process no longer serves justice. It has in fact bowed, to the
>service of the political economy. I have further come to
>appreciate experientially, the fallacy of the commonly held
>belief, that governmental administration is a vehicle for the
>will of the people. In writing this book, I bypass the judicial
>process of appeal, and appeal directly to the good citizens of
>this nation.
> To many the spirit of Mt. Carmel, expressed in the book
>Sealed with Seven Seals of the book of Revelation, remains a
>mystery. In their observations, they see the material events
>which occurred on February 28th, through April 19th of 1993.
>These events they judge in the spirit of their own minds. Many
>correctly conclude, that something seriously amiss took place.
>But beyond these judgments there exist a deeper meaning. It is
>my hope that by saturating the pages of this book, with the
>spirit and purpose of Mt. Carmel, many might catch a vision of
>what hitherto has been a mystery. Further, they might be brought
>to a place in their consciousness, where they can see the future
>envisioned by GOD.
> It is a fact of reality, that freedom begins at the level of
>the soul. Being free to think and act in harmony with ones self.
>To be so disposed is further dependent, on the persons ability to
>think and make sound truthful judgments. This ability, arises
>out of a heart faithful to sound spiritual truths, as they exist
>in the mind of God and not in the imagination of self-serving and
>corrupt men. Essentially we are all children of God. Being
>aware of this heritage, we are free to pursue His will for us or
>pursue the imagination of our now corrupt hearts. Many have
>chosen the latter, the results of which we see everyday around
>us. The innocent and the defenseless become the victims, being
>forced to honor their integrity at a cost to their lives. Mt.
>Carmel was just such a case in point.
> Based in the authority of the Word of God, an authority
>claimed acknowledgment in the Constitution of this nation, it is
>considered the right and obligation of all men to pursue God.
>Further, to pursue Him in the way shape or form, He should
>choose, He be pursued. Is this not a sacred trust, that no
>institution of man, has the right to infringe? Mt. Carmel was
>established for the pursuit of just such a purpose. On February
>28th 1993, under the guise of serving a search warrant, this
>right, was unlawfully challenged. A challenge subsequently met
>with a response, arising out of conscientious obligation.
> It is not my intention or purpose at this stage, to contend
>with peoples uninformed opinions and misguided judgments
>regarding the conduct and actions of David Koresh. But rather,
>to focus on significant information, placing the events of Mt.
>Carmel, in the spirit and perspective of its residents. The
>propaganda disseminated by this government, in its effort to
>disguise it's immoral actions, has left much confusion in the
>minds of many. Significantly, this propaganda sought to
>sensationalize certain accusations made against us regarding our
>beliefs and conduct. It will be seen that the government totally
>disregarded our efforts to address these issues. It ignored the
>evidence of our previous cooperation with the authorities. Above
>all, it totally ignored our position of faith, the premise from
>which our actions and behavior could clearly be shown to be of
>God. The fact that such propaganda had to be employed in the
>first place, is to me clear proof the government had no real
>legal justification to mount such an attack. I remain convinced
>that the government was operating from a hidden agenda, for which
>it employed the cover of law and propaganda, to conceal. It will
>be seen from a basic introduction to our beliefs that this
>government is bogus and lacking of the divine mandate for its
>rule.
> Against this background and knowledge of the will of God
>contained in the Seven Seals one will be better placed to
>understand the reasons behind the events of Mt. Carmel.
> Since these events, I have been comforted in the knowledge
>that, inspite of the propaganda, there were some who were not
>fooled. As a matter of fact, the actions of the government,
>merely served to confirm in their minds, the extent of
>governmental corruption and control over the minds of the
>American people. This information is available on record.
>Therefore, it can be checked for its accuracy and detail.
> The historical context of Mt. Carmel is well documented.
