Waco: What you thought you knew was wrong... Dead wrong.

Robert Rodriguez, ATF Special Agent:
"Those two men know what I told them,( referring to raid commanders Chuck Sarabyn and Phillip Chojnacki)
and...and they knew exactly what I meant. And instead of coming up and admitting to the
American people right after the raid that they had made a mistake, that the element of
surprise had been lost, that the agent had advised them that they knew they were coming.
Instead of doing that, they lied to the public and in so doing, they just about
destroyed a very great agency."

The voice crackling over the police radio pleaded repeatedly:
"Come get me, I'm dying. I'm bleeding to death."

BATF agents killed by the negligence of their commanders.

There is a fine line between negligent homicide and murder...
I tend to believe in this case, they go hand in hand.
One created the other.

Chojnacki and Sarabyn tried to cover up their lack of professionalism and errors by
altering the written plan of the raid, which they had not issued before it took place.
They did not tell the Texas Rangers or the Treasury review team that it had
been altered. They then tried to blame the alterations
on a lower-ranking agent who had assisted them.

Finally, they confessed the truth to the Treasury review team.

Washington Times article dated April 12, 1993

Federal agent Kenny King, shot several times early in the failed raid, had fallen off the roof of David
Koresh's chapel. With a shattered right elbow, and chest, leg and several other wounds, King lay helpless
as hundreds of bullets whizzed by, according to an agent who was there six weeks ago.

"Your heart went out to him, but there was nothing we could do," said the agent, who asked not
to be named, citing a gag order by superiors. "People want to know what it was like," the agent said.
"There were at least 12,000 rounds fired. It was like Iwo Jima."

*Federal officials have stated they had very high tech, listening devices (bugs) implanted through
out the Davidians home. They were fully aware of the amount of fire arms the Davidians possessed. Agents
had been there with David Koresh a few weeks earlier, sharing target practice out back of the house.
They would even hand their weapons over for Koresh to load!
If they thought he was so deranged, why would they risk it???!

Hardy's Book - "This Is Not An Assault" -
'Penetrating the Web of Official Lies Regarding the Waco Incident'

March 21, 1993. London Times boldly reveals diagrams and exact locations of bugs implanted in the Davidian home. Note the title of the article is "Secret War at Waco." Apparently our government hoped this article remained a secret to every one in America too, especially considering the aftermath. There was NO reason with such capabilities in technology not to have known more about the Davidians and what exactly was happening before they brought down an entire army of men and helicopters to invade their home in such a careless and reckless manner.

A quote from above states, "It was like Iwo Jima!" The government knew what to expect, they
planned for worst case scenarios, they TRAINED for it didn't they? Trained their agents what to do
IF someone shot back at them in GREAT numbers?

Maybe not.. OOPS.

It seems that they DIDN'T communicate that to their agents, because they
didn't even bother having AMBULANCES ready!!!!!!
Don't believe me???

Do you think to yourself... "No, this can't be. The government knows already there are well over
a hundred people inside, all of which could and probably ARE armed, and are FULLY AWARE at this
point that the "FEDS are coming" and they didn't think to call ONE ambulance AHEAD of time?"

All true.

Actual "stake out" photo

That's not all.... commanders and agents testified that ALL of their various means of
communication with the "outside world" was at a complete breakdown.
THEY COULDN'T CALL FOR HELP!

"Why were we (the press) the only ones that could call for assistance (for the fallen BATF agents)?"
*The Fatal Flaw*

If this, isn't the most CLEAR CASE of negligent homicide by their commanders, I don't know what is.
And I CANNOT believe that the media or the leaders of this once great country haven't taken
ONE SECOND to think about it. Or have they? How could they have NOT?

Memories of the Feb. 28 bloodshed brought the agent to tears.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) has been criticized for the raid, in which
four agents and at least two cult members were killed (Koresh says six followers died) and 16 agents and
an unknown number of cultists wounded. Lost in the analysis and dissection of the ATF's storming of the
Branch Davidian compound to arrest Koresh on a firearms warrant is the horror of what took place
that day, say some frustrated agents.

"Everybody knows who David Koresh is. But who remembers the names of the dead agents?"
asked agent Bill Buford, who was shot four times during the raid.

(The Davidians remember the fallen agents! Each and every one of their names is read at
each memorial. Their heart aches over those agents, because they are God's people!
Even David expressed much heartache over the fallen agents.)

On Feb. 28, two cattle trucks filled with agents pulled up to the Mount Carmel compound after
9 a.m. ATF officials have said that soon after the agents announced their intention to search for
explosives and automatic firearms, a hail of gunfire erupted.

Many of the agents were still trying to get out of their trucks, and they raced toward their
assigned positions. Staying in the trucks would have been a "disaster," one agent said. They would
have been stationary targets for heavy caliber bullets piercing the metal trucks.

Agents seen here kneeling out in the open, apparently unconcerned for their safety?
It doesn't look to be a group of men under heavy "Iwo Jima" type fire.

(Only a single shot was ever shown to have penetrated the BATF cattle trucks,
and was thought to be from the agents firing from the undercover house, Texas Rangers said.)

(The Davidians had a clear view of the road and everything surrounding Mt. Carmel
and could have easily shot every agent that arrived that day before they even exited
the trucks, if that was their intention)

"The firearms discipline had been beaten in {our} brains: Get to your assignment," the agent said.
"But the fire coming from the {compound's} tower and second floor was so intense.
It's hard to describe the level of gunfire."

Davidian members say the agents fired first; ATF officials say Koresh's followers fired first.

As agents returned fire, so did three ATF snipers who were hiding in a house
about 300 yards away. The snipers' fire would prove critical.

(How can federal law enforcement officers fire indiscriminately from across the street
without putting innocent women and children in danger? They CAN'T!)

" {The snipers} were suppressing some of the heavy gunfire," the agent recalled.

BATF sniper "disguising" himself with full mask and tape covering his badge, so he can not be identified.
Others have told me this was done in remembrance of the fallen ATF agents.
(How convenient)

(At trial, Texas Rangers testified that BATF agents in the undercover house were firing at the
building. Rangers collected over seventy used shell casings from in and around the undercover house.)

(KWTX-TV television video tape clearly shows that agents were exercising little
control over their firing, as they fired over vehicles with little or no view of their targets.
At one point, an agent clearly can be heard saying, "Too much wild fire.")

(Was the indiscriminent fire putting other BATF agents in danger too?? YES it WAS!)
Texas rangers admit friendly fire was present February 28, 1999
(evidence of above in transcripts from January 15, 1994 trial,36A;1116-22, as recorded by Kathy Fair)

As the shooting continued, a three-member team from ATF's New Orleans division
climbed a ladder to the second floor of the compound.

"You started to get reports," the agent said. " 'We got a dead agent. We got an injured agent.' "

Killed were Conway LeBleu, Steven David Willis, Todd W. McKeehan and Robert J. Williams.

The wounded included Bill Buford of the New Orleans team.

The first bullet hit Buford in the left hip. "I could feel the thud like I had been hit with a baseball bat,"
said Buford, a former Green Beret. "The second hit me in the thigh. I started to get concerned that I
wouldn't be able to get up and get out."

Another bullet hit him in the left leg, and Buford and the two other agents, at least one of whom also
had been injured, were forced out of the compound. Buford rolled off the roof, breaking four ribs despite
efforts by other agents to cushion his fall.

They dragged Buford a short distance but not completely out of the line of fire. Four bullets raced past his head,
including one that cut the bridge of his nose. A fellow agent wearing a bulletproof vest then
put his body between the gunfire and Buford's head.

King, meanwhile, continued to call for assistance.

King and Buford had to wait for help until the *negotiations were completed*, but both survived.
*Thanks to the Davidians that pleaded from inside for the government to STOP shooting!*

The very second that BATF agents stopped firing on the Davidians, the "raid" was over. The Davidians
didn't fire another shot, and allowed the agents to collect their wounded and dead and return to the road,
and in this authors opinion, that is where they should have stayed in the first place!

BATF collecting fallen comrades in full view of the Davidians.

Notice all the entrance holes in the doors, walls, and windows of the house. The front doorknob on
the right hand side has been blown away. This side of the door, was the one Koresh opened when BATF
agents arrived. It's proven he was completely unarmed.

(FBI reports it apparently "lost" this right metal door, a very vital piece of evidence showing who fired first.)
OOPS.

Remarks By Deputy Director Bradley A. Buckles
ATF Memorial Service
National Police Week
May 14, 1997
"The very nature of our enforcement mission has historically brought us face to face with the
Nations most violent criminals. It is, therefore, not surprising that the number of ATF agents who have lost
their lives in the performance of their duties – which numbers 182 -- is among the highest in Federal law enforcement."

Is it no WONDER? Sounds like ATF is its own worst violent criminal.
How many of the deaths are attributed to training exercises, lack of communication,
faulty equipment, INCOMPETENT Commanders, attacking people at the WRONG ADDRESS,
no written raid plan or specific instructions,
and FRIENDLY FIRE!?

Sometime around noon, Buford was transported to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, where
Pat Muhl was the nursing supervisor on duty. "The first person we received, LeBleu, was dead," said Muhl,
a nurse for 26 years. "We were all sad, but we did not have time to be sad for long because others were coming in."

Two other agents were dead on arrival, four went to surgery and six others were treated, said Muhl.
By Pierre Thomas Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, April 12, 1993

As we remember the men, women and children that were murdered,
we must not forget the agents that were also murdered.
Victims of their own government, and negligent homicide at the hands of their commanders.

	Robert Williams 26yrs old - ATF agent - New Orleans field division - assigned to Little Rock, Arkansas. Married.
	Conway LeBleu 30yrs old - ATF agent - New Orleans Field division. Married - two children.
	Steve Willis 32yrs old - ATF agent - Houston field division. Single.
	Todd McKeehan 28yrs old - ATF agent - New Orleans field division. Single.

Interestingly enough...

While "unofficial" cameras were there in abundance (three of the four agents killed had them, and the videos
of agents show them wandering around snapping pictures), their film seems to have wandered off.
Despite a court order, only two rolls of film could be found, neither of them depicting the raid itself.

Three of the four agents killed ,were said to be at one time, working for President Clinton as Secret Service Agents.

October, 1994, the BATF finally fired Sarabyn and Chojnacki, then rehired them December, 1994,
after both agents filed suit against the agency. Many people believe they threatened to reveal BATF
crimes if they were not rehired.

Ironically, they were honored in a secret ceremony, in an undisclosed air plane hanger, months later,
where the BATF gave its agents its highest honor.

National Association of Treasury Agents, deputy director Jim Jorgensen denounced the
Treasury Department for reinstating Chojnacki and Sarabyn.

"It defiles the memory of the brave ATF agents who gave their lives doing their duty. ....
It sends a message to these living agents that their lives aren't worth a plugged nickel.

It was wrong. It was all horribly wrong. I have woken up, and I am aware now.
You cannot walk away from this black mark on history, as anything but a horrible holocaust,
a preventable one. It's time to dig deeper. It's time to be aware of the evidence, and not just the one
sided press. DO NOT let them walk away from this. This is not some idle story cooked up by "conspiracy nuts".

Let the inconsistencies of the governments OWN testimony guide your consciousness .
Do not take everything you see in print to heart, and yes including mine. Take the time to research this.
Don't cloud your mind thinking this is all a product of "gun toters" and "militiamen".
That is simply not the case here. There is very clear cases of crimes being committed,
towards the Branch Davidians AND BATF's own AGENTS!

Even the Davidians recognize this was a terrible tragedy for the agents that died on March 28, 1993.

This is a photo of the Branch Davidians memorial for the fallen BATF agents.

There may be many many questions that will never be answered within this massacre. I for one,
will carry these feelings of complete fear,anger, and hatred of what happened and the people
that allowed it to happen. I've decided it doesn't matter what the government cooks up for
an outcome. This should never have taken place. It is NOT excusable.
