28 February 1993

ATF retreat from Mt. Carmel, carrying off their dead and wounded.
19 years ago today, the ATF attacked a church outside Waco, Texas. The shooting stopped when the ATF ran out of ammunition and asked to be able to withdraw. The Davidians consented. 5 Davidians were killed that day and four ATF agents, all in the name of federal gun control laws. And that was just the beginning of the massacre. Remember.

I wonder if any of the ATF sources for Gunwalker were there at Waco? Any idea?

Remember?

How can you forget.

Oh, that's right. It never happened, according to the government and their loyal media as well as a few RINOs.

Medals and promotions for everyone for their loyal services.

Rest assured that I'll never forget (or forgive) the needless ATF assault on the Dividians. Nor will I ever forget the perjury committed before congress by several special agents of the ATF. During those hearings, Jim Cavanaugh showed America what a real, immoral, POS looks like. To me, he became the poster "boy" for all that is wrong with law enforcement in the Republic. While Ruby Ridge was the beginning of the legalized murder of American citizens by Federal Law Enforcement; Waco permanently established this new murderous paradigm as standard policy. They know no shame!

The blood of the innocents cries out from the ground at Waco; are there none in America to avenge them? No, none. We will say, someone, someone else will go; then who will go when it is we who cry out? No, none. Our people are slaughtered like sheep all day, and there is nothing for it. Oh, that the Lord G*d would raise up men, in America.

Yes, sadly, the local media mentioned the Mt. Carmel massacre as "the Branch Davidians set fire to their compound".

The disinformation campaign is still working.

I know the truth, completely, and will never forget that the US government murdered over 80 men, women, and children including over two dozen children under the age of 14.

After Waco, I don't say the Pledge of Allegiance any more. Why should I bear allegiance to a body that wants to slaughter my family and steal all of my property.

Who did the four BATF agents die for? Not you or me. They died for the International Monetary Fund. Up through 1995, structurally that is who the BATFE is under.

We are at war. We are losing.

Its all about money. Money runs this country.

You know, to this day I still don't get why they used gun laws as the justification for the raid if they had the option of him abusing young girls instead.

The child-sex thing was the motivator for the raid according to some made for TV movie I saw years ago.

If they would have used that rather than gun laws I bet there would have been far less controversy.

Doesn't make it any more right but I just can't get why the .gov didn't go the easier PR road.

Never Forget:

Things like a ATF boss on the ground that day, live on TV said.

"We did not know they had guns that would shoot through walls."

That level of stupid is how we got here.

Enough already.

Never Forget! This was and to this Day the Shot across the Bow! When Clinton"s AG Loosed the Dogs of WAR! Why? Are we still letting this go on? These past administrations are Guilty, and all Have Blood on their Hands...Civil War II...

they sure would like us to forget, wouldnt they?

I didnt forget Waco, Ruby Ridge, OK Bombing, 9/11. and im not going to forget Fast and Fucked up either

The Davidians COULD have killed every ATF Agent within a half mile.

Letting them walk was more than they deserved - and likely responsible for the ultimate end.

There's a lesson, there...

Ah, this. Would seem that history just cycles yet again.

"Tarleton's Quarters" comes to mind.

I too will not forget. Waco was a tremendous tragedy. How the Federal Government killed 80 men, women and children. Just sickening. They could've gotten David Koresh when he went to the supermarket. I too remember Waco and Ruby Ridge. I too no longer "pledge allegiance" to Amerika.
