Carol Moore, author, The Davidian Massacre
------------------------
 
     Seven dozen government submachinegun-armed government
agents descend upon a multi-racial community of men, women and
children who fly the flag of David.  Some shoot at the unarmed
man at the front door who begs them to stop charging and just
talk; others shoot from helicopters through the roof as women
and children hide under their beds; others shoot at community
members trying to return to the community; six community
members die that day.  After sabotaging all attempts at
negotiations, military tanks gas the women and children, ram
the building--flames erupt and 76 more members of the
community are killed.  Nazi Germany 1941?  Saddam's Iraq 1989? 
Or Waco, Texas 1993?
     Why does Congress and the press still promote the lies
that the Branch Davidians "ambushed" federal agents, refused
to cooperate with negotiators, and killed themselves and their
children?  Why is the U.S. government continuing to demonize
the victims?  If the "Waco incident" leaves you with the
uncomfortable feeling that the federal government cares more
about the reputation of federal law enforcement than the
protection of the American people, you *must* read my just
published mass market paperback: THE DAVIDIAN MASSACRE
Disturbing Questions About Waco that Must Be Answered.  As a
libertarian pacifist activist and writer I felt compelled
to find out the truth about what happened and why.

More about THE DAVIDIAN MASSACRE---
 
     The book draws on government and news sources, trial and
congressional transcripts, and interviews with experts and
participants, including Davidian survivors and prisoners.
     It systematically analyzes evidence that agents of the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) committed real crimes against
the Branch Davidians, crimes which have been systematically
covered up by officials of those agencies, as well as by
officials of the Justice and Treasury Departments and the
Clinton White House.  It provides compelling evidence that:
 
**   In its initial investigation BATF paid far more attention
to the advice of "cult busters" and former members committed
to the destruction of the group than to local sheriffs who
could have vouched for the Davidians' history of cooperation
with law enforcement.  Their allegations that Davidians talked
about owning illegal weapons was the primary "evidence"
supporting the issuing of a search warrant.
 
**   Even the Justice Department report on Waco, which
includes young Kiri Jewell's sex abuse accusation, admits that
none of these accusations was of sufficient credibility to
create probable cause to indict David Koresh for child or
sexual abuse.
 
**   David Koresh invited BATF investigators to inspect his
guns on July 30, 1992.  BATF knew he had a legal gun business
but chose to hide that fact from the public--even by
effectively kidnapping his gun dealer and business partner
during the siege.
 
**   BATF presented false information to the National Guard
and the military that there was a methamphetamine laboratory
at the Davidians' home and church, Mount Carmel Center.
 
**   BATF never planned a peaceful service of warrant because
it wanted a big paramilitary raid that would get national
publicity and help increase its budget.
 
**   David Koresh came to the front door unarmed and tried to
comply with the warrant, crying, "Let's talk!  There's women
and children here!"
 
**   BATF agents shot first at the front door, panicking after
an agent shot a dog, wounding Koresh and mortally wounding his
unarmed father-in-law who stood behind him.  Agents shot
indiscriminately through the walls for almost two hours.
 
**   BATF agents in one or more helicopters fired down on the
Davidians, killing four people and leaving more than a hundred
bullet holes in the roof and walls of the building.  Even the
then-director of BATF admits that if the agents shot from
helicopters they should be prosecuted for murder.
 
**   BATF agents consistently have lied to cover up their
acts, claiming Davidians ambushed them with machineguns,
grenades and .50 caliber weapons.  (You know those 6 inch
bullets they always show on television?  Investigators never
found even one of those on the grounds outside the building
after the fire.  The Davidians never fired them.)
**   BATF agents assassinated Michael Schroeder, a Davidian
trying to return to Mount Carmel immediately after the raid.
 
**   The FBI siege and Hostage Rescue Team leader had no
sympathy with the beleaguered Davidians.  More likely,
concerned that the evidence of illegal gunfire would result in
the prosecution of BATF agents, they deliberately sabotaged
negotiations by destroying evidence and private property and
playing loud music and shining bright lights--anything to give
agents an excuse to destroy the evidence of illegal BATF
gunfire that riddled the walls and roof of Mount Carmel.
 
**   FBI agents lied to Attorney General Janet Reno about
David Koresh's April 14, 1993 promise-to-surrender letter, the
safety of CS gas, FBI agent fatigue, child abuse, the rules of
engagement and their plan to demolish the building in order to
coerce into approving their gassing plan.
 
**   FBI agents knew the Davidians said they would stay inside
the building "even if you run ten tanks through it," but
continued their attack anyway.  FBI agents heard suspicious
(though probably innocent) Davidian conversations about
pouring and spreading fuel but continued their attack anyway.
 
**   Tank attacks collapsed half the gymnasium, as well as
stairwells and exits.  They trapped most Davidians on the
second floor or inside the concrete room, a room where nine
women and children died when a tank knocked hundreds of pounds
of concrete on them before the fire.
 
**   The tank which ripped out the first floor, southeast
corner knocked over a lamp on the second floor, starting a
fire.  The wind-whipped fire, fed by flammable CS gas and
stored flammable fuels, zapped through the building in
seconds.
 
*    The Justice Department scotched a truly independent x-ray
examination of all allegedly illegal Davidian weapons found
after the fire--probably because the FBI is *falsely* claiming
that some or all of them are illegal.
 
**   Serious questions remain about the involvement of
President Clinton, from the planning stage to the day of the
fire: Bill Clinton's good friend, Little Rock BATF head Bill
Buford, helped plan the raid; Bill Clinton's good friend
Deputy Treasury secretary Roger Altman visited Buford at the
hospital the day after the raid; the White House lied about
when Clinton knew about the gassing plan; Clinton talked to
Janet Reno two hours before the fire started; the Clinton
White House was claiming the Davidians started the fire
minutes after it started.
 
**   Janet Reno's Justice Department promoted and condoned
obvious judicial and prosecutorial misconduct--especially 
missing and withheld evidence--during the 1994 trial of eleven
Branch Davidians.  Justice Department memos released during
Congressional hearings show the government stopped
interviewing agents because their testimony would help
Davidian defendants.  Important information relevant to firing
from helicopters and lies to Janet Reno only came out at
Congressional hearings--it was never given to defense
attorneys.  (Author Carol Moore has filed complaints with the
Justice Department about prosecutorial misconduct which are
currently under investigation by the Department.)
 
**   Nevertheless, the jury found all Davidians *innocent* of
the most serious charges of conspiracy and murder of federal
agents, believing they had acted in self-defense.  Because of
judicial machinations, they did convict eight Davidians of
what they thought were "minor charges" which would result in
only time served.  However, the judge sentenced the nine
victims of injustice to a total of 243 years! 
 
     To end, after recent hearings the U.S. Congress claimed
that there was no religious persecution, there was no firing
from helicopters, there was no deliberate harassment of
Davidians, there was no deliberate agent plan to destroy Mount
Carmel on April 19th--no, *everything* was the Davidians'
fault and the poor, incompetent BATF and FBI will just have to
clean up their act so they'll be ready to deal with the "next
group of fanatics."
     Violence begets violence--and coverup begets paranoia. 
If some citizens feel they must form militias to protect
themselves and some radicals find an excuse to commit
dastardly acts of violence, can the three branches of the
federal government really blame anyone but themselves?
     Finally, must we all worry and wonder--who is next?  Do
you own a gun?  Have your own business?  Live in a group house
or a commune? Smoke a little dope?  Have funny stickers on
your car that criticize the government?  Criticize the
government or talk dirty on the net?  Worship at a church that
is not approved of by your neighbors?  Own property local
poltiicians want to grab?  Have enemies willing to tell
terrible lies about you to law enforcement?  Have black skin
or a hispanic surname?  Are you next?
     If the feds can get away with the massacre of the
Davidians, and blame the victims, and if we all just let them
do it--none of us is safe!
 
     Buy and read THE DAVIDIAN MASSACRE--and demand that
Congress appoint an independent counsel and free the Branch
Davidian prisoners!
