Dear
friends,
Here
is an interesting and important piece on the subject that refuses to die: the
Waco tragedy. Men, women and children surrounded by ruthless gunmen sent by the state - this image was brought forth during the
Zionist
siege of Nativity Church, and now again, when the Mammonites besiege Baghdad.
This piece is written by Tom Mysiewicz, an American journalist who tripped on
the 'do-not-mention-Jews-but-as-martyrs-and-saints' third rail in 1993, and
found himself homeless, wifeless, destitute in the wilderness of Oregon.
Still, he survived, and came back to writing. The commentary is written by Dr
Henry Lindner, an inquisitive mind. It appeared on

Shamir
It
All Started In Waco

Few
overseas may realize it, but the prototype of the current war-disinformation
campaign was tested in the U.S. in 1993. And it worked.
Look
for a replay in Iraq.
1993...a
curious year in the U.S...the first attack on the World Trade Center, the
attack by Federal authorities on a religious group in Waco, Texas (near the
ranch of George W. Bush), and--of minor import--the year I was run out of the
journalism business.
The
massacre of nearly 100 men, women and children of the Branch Davidian Sect
(an offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventist Church) in Waco reportedly started
with a complaint to the U.S. Justice Department by the ADL-related Cult
Awareness Network.
At
once, the new concept of "embedded" journalism was put into effect.
Journalists
were segregated and kept apart from the action on a so-called "carnival
hill"--too far away to really see what was going on. These
reporters dutifully reported what they were told at government press
conferences and virtually no mainstream media voices contradicted them.
Part
of this was due to the fact that Bill Clinton was president, and many
Democratic reporters felt a need to be loyal to their party, and part was due
to the increasing corporate centralization of media control. Among the
accusations howled daily by this crowd--ALL of which later turned out to be
false:
*David
Koresh was a polygamist and child molester
*Children
had been molested at the church (previously ruled out by Texas officials)
*A
substantial tunnel network existed on church property
*Koresh
had .50-Cal. machine guns
*Koresh
had .50-Cal. armor-piercing ammunition
*Koresh
had either biological or chemical weapons
*Koresh
planned to overthrow the U.S. Government
(Some
decent conservatives termed this as "demonization".)
After
passing several opportunities to peacefully arrest the "cult"
leader, the Feds launched a 300-man shooting assault on the church, including
20-mm cannon fire from a helicopter. Koresh was wounded and several
Federal agents were shot, although it has been argued that the killings were
from friendly crossfire. A 51-day siege of the church (now termed a
"compound") was launched. Razor wire was strung around the
church, loud music and lights were put on every night, power and water were
cut off, food was denied those inside, and Red Cross representatives were not
allowed inside to check on the welfare of the children.
While
constantly reassuring Americans through the "embedded" reporters
that the situation would be resolved peacefully, and even allowing some of
the children to have milk and eventually allowing a small number of Davidians
to come out (these were later given stiff Federal prison sentences, despite
assurances to the contrary, and defense experts mysteriously died while
preparing vital defense evidence)the Federales apparently had other ideas.
After
about a month, I recall my wife telling me--after she had heard that others
trying to leave the church and surrender had been driven back by stun
grenades and gunfire--"they're going to kill those people."
"No
way," I replied. After all, the "embedded" reporters
said all Koresh wanted to do was to make a prophesy and unlock a "key to
scripture" and he would come out.
Well,
my wife was right. One day (well before the deadline Koresh had been
given) there was a massive assault with armored cars and Delta Forces.
The rest is history. Most of the church members were either burned to
death or shot at close range. Only a few survived, and these were
jailed also.
I
am constantly reminded of Waco when I hear the current stream of cynical
outright lies about prisoner shootings, uprisings and the like in Iraq. True,
Saddam Hussein may be a bad man to some, but how many leaders could resist
using "weapons of mass destruction" (if they actually had them)
when two thirds of their country was in the hands of an invading force?
The "embedded" reporters say Saddam has got to be the most evil man
that ever existed--just like David Koresh was briefly. Koresh and Saddam
were both wounded in the initial attack. I'm only afraid we may get the same
ending in Baghdad.

Subject:
Why Waco?
Folks,
Tom's
piece got me doing some research. Below are some pieces that I've found
on the web that help to give some background and meaning to the US Gov't
attack on the Branch Davidians in Waco in 1993. I was still a part of
the Matrix in 1993 and had no idea what was happening.
You
will be interested to know that Koresh's form of Christianity was a threat to
Israel's interests as it did not include Israel in its end-of-the-world
scenario. He moved the location of the fulfillment of Daniel's
prophecies from Israel to the compound in Texas. Koresh was seeking a
closer union with Islam and he emphasized the role of Iran in Biblical
prophecy. Interestingly, the Cult Awareness Network that alerted the
Federal Government about Koresh and "advised" the government
throughout the siege was affiliated with the Jewish Anti- Defamation League.

From
Carol Valentine
Religious
leaders influence the actions and opinions of many; they can help the state
solidify its power, or can undermine that power.
Thus
governments have a vital interest in monitoring religious leaders and their
followers, and molding religious doctrines.
When
priests, preachers, and prophets get too independent and their teachings go
beyond what the state will tolerate, those leaders become enemies of the
state. It is then in the interests of the state to snuff them out.
It
is possible that David Koresh may have been such a leader. What was so
controversial about Koresh's teachings? Among other things, Koresh was
teaching that Bible prophecies would be fulfilled in a land other than
Israel. He was teaching that a Savior would come from Iran. He
was teaching doctrines that paralleled the teachings of Mohammed. In
these things, David Koresh's theology must have been dangerous to certain
vested interests.
US
vs. Victor Houteff: Currency, Conscription, Jews
Victor
Houteff founded the Davidian Seventh Day Adventists back in the 1930s.
The government must have seen him as a big threat.
Houteff
had a big following all over the world, and a big mailing list which he used
to raise money and proselytize. They had their own school and
hospital. Houteff printed his own Davidian currency which his followers
used in trade among themselves. He was a genuine pacifist. After
Pearl Harbor was bombed, he retained the tradition of the old Seventh Day
Adventists and refused to endorse conscription. And even worse:
Houteff spoke openly about the Jews and the establishment of the state of
Israel.
On
January 4, 1947, Victor Houteff gave a sermon at the Mt. Carmel chapel called
"The Hated Jews of Today Are Not the Admired Jews of Tomorrow."
Houteff said:
"In
view of the fact that this scripture is now being unfolded, and also the fact
that there is but one people, one nation (the descendants of the ancient
scribes, priests, and Pharisees who rejected the Lord and who have not even
to this day accepted Him, that are hardly desired anywhere in the world) that
is now doing all
she
[Judea] can to gather together in Palestine -- in view of all this, the
present-day Jews are that undesired nation. Upon her, therefore, the
Lord's anger is to fall if she continues to deny Christ. Yes, the
universally hated Jew is the only nation that has been scattered throughout
the Gentile world, and is the only one that is now gathering together in
Palestine."
Houteff
went on to say, in effect, that the Jews were being gathered in one place so
God could kill them more conveniently. That's heavy stuff. Given
the control the Jews already had over America at that time, given Houteff's
anti-conscription stand, his issuing of private currency -- given all these
things, you can bet Uncle Sam had an interest in infiltrating and watching
him and his people.
The
government actually provided proof of that. The Treasury Report on Waco
contains a copy of early surveillance photos of the Mt. Carmel Center, taken
before the big house we saw on TV in 1993 was built. You have those
pictures in the Museum:
Texas,
Not Israel: Why Did David Change His Mind?
So
before the Second Coming, the prophecies of Daniel Chapters 11 and 12 must be
fulfilled. The founder of the Davidian movement, Victor Houteff, wanted
to be God's tool and establish the Davidic kingdom in Palestine,
Israel. In like manner, David Koresh also wanted to be God's tool and
set up the Davidic Kingdom. David wanted to set it up in Jerusalem,
Israel.
David
made a number of trips to Israel, and was familiar with the situation in the
Middle East. At the start of Desert Shield in 1990, he thought the
place of his martyrdom might be in Israel but finally at the start of Desert
Storm in 1991 he was convinced that his martyrdom would be here in the
US. He started to build and to arm himself for the coming
confrontation.
Instead
of Israel, David said the prophecies of Daniel would be fulfilled in Waco and
that the Mt. Carmel Center was the Davidic kingdom. Imagine! This
was a monumental change in his thinking, a change that would affect each and
every Branch Davidian. Anyone interested in prophecy and the Seven
Seals would want to know: What did David see that changed his mind? I asked
Clive.
Here's
an excerpt from Carol Valentine's correspondence with a Muslim man who had
become a follower of David Koresh:
As
I told you, I am a Shiite Muslim. The Bible is filled with prophecies
of the Savior coming from Persia or as we now call that country, Iran, a
Muslim country. I was always interested to note that the surname David
chose, "Koresh" (phonetically the same as the Arabic "Quryash"),
was the family name of the prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. Each
Muslim Imam is a descendant of that Koresh/Quryash family. Imam
Khomeini, peace be upon him, was a Koresh/Quryash. The awaited Savior
of Islam -- al Mahdi -- will also bear the name Koresh/Quryash.
I
arrived at the Mt. Carmel Center in December, 1996. In October 1997 I
heard the tape "Letter to Australia." In this tape, David talks
about Daniel 7:9 and Daniel 7:13. He says the verses tell of two
Saviors. One is the Prince of Persia (Iran), called Koresh (Isaiah 45),
and the other one is Jesus. Koresh the Savior and Jesus the Savior join
forces to defeat the anti-Christ (or the ad-Dajjal, the Deceiver, as he is
called in Arabic); Jesus does the judging, Koresh does the fighting.
I
was amazed, for David's teaching about End Days exactly parallels the
prophecy of Mohammed in his Hadith, and those of the Imams, peace be upon
them.
David
was teaching the heart of Islam, but he was unifying the three religions of
Abraham. I had tremendous respect for him.
I
don't believe I am the only one to realize what David was doing.
During
the siege, theologian Phil Arnold from the Reunion Institute was a consultant
to the FBI. Do you know what they study at the
Reunion
Institute? They study the unification of the three Abrahamic
religions. Coincidentally, James Tabor is one of their speakers.
