I'm 72 now and I remember this epic disaster. I also remember a report that was covered up a day or two after it came out. An arson specialist examined the burn site and was pretty sure fires were started at the rear entrances of the compound before the main assault by the atf began, This made it impossible to escape from the rear. The story was news for a day then disappeared.

@brt-jn7kg 2 года назад

I'm actually a retired police officer from Central Texas. I personally knew David Koresh. What the ATF dead was that they fed right into his mania. When all the shooting took place the ATF and the Branch davidians call the McLennan county sheriff's department. The McLennan county sheriff Jack Harwell got a ceasefire between the two over the telephone. Let me reiterate that sheriff Jack Harwell was so well respected by the Branch davidians that they quit shooting because he asked them to over the phone! The morning that they went to pull off the raid they got one of the local reporters named John McLemore to go out and record this. John McLemore could not find the branch of any compound so he stops one of the local postman and ask him where the Branch davidian compound is. When the man asked why do you want to know John McLemore said the ATF is about to run a big warrant on the compound and I'm going to report on it. That postman was David Koresh's brother-in-law!!!! The ATF had an undercover agent in the compound who left and notified his superiors that their cover was blown into call it off and they still went. The ATF fed straight into David quresh's apocalyptic mania. Now as for the fire the fires were started by the davidians themselves. The bugs we put on the crates that we took in to the compound recorded everything. As human nature is they picked up some of the crates and took them to other parts of the building so we can hear just about every room what was going on. David koresh personally ordered Steve Smith his second in command to set the fires. Steve came back and David ordered him to shoot him in the head. David was too much of a coward to do with himself. As for how armed they were there was a mob Deuce 50 cal on a tripod and 10,000 rounds of hand polish linked ammo. The first day we started counting individual rounds and then 12 hours got nowhere. The second day we started counting 5 gallon buckets full of ammo for 12 hours and still got nowhere! The third day we knocked down one of the walls to the so-called bunker and we used a bobcats bucket and it still took several hours. All of this could have been avoided every single life could have been saved had the ATF had the common courtesy to notify the local sheriff's department whose jurisdiction they were in that they were going to be running this high risk warrant on the compound. The Branch davidian compound was not new to any local law enforcement everyone knew they're end of the worldview on things. The ATF at the time was being run by businessman instead of lawman and they had to account for a great expenditure in new weapons and other technical hardware. That's why Ruby ridge and Waco happened!!!

Same with the ATF's recent murder of Bryan Malinowki in Little Rock. ATF's death squad showed up to serve a 'search warrant' and realized nobody was home, so they kept driving. Once the guy was home, 10 car loads of militarized hit men showed up at 6am, cut the power to the house and taped over his ring doorbell cam before kicking his door in.... for a 'search warrant'. He woke up to a dark house and a living room full of shadowy figures so he fired a shot off. Of course, they opened fire. Not a single member of the government death squad was wearing a body camera. The unsurprising presser that went out today, none of them will be charged! "Search warrant". Couldn't kick his door in and "search" unless he was home. It was an obvious organized execution.

I'm from the UK as well. One thing which stands out in my memory is a story about Scotland Yard criticsing the ATF and FBI for how Waco was handled - which was very unusual. I think it was prompted by the deaths of so many UK citizens, some children, by what they perceived as a throughly mishandled and botched operation. I found the following article from 1995: "British detective scornful of raid at Waco - THE raid which started the 51-day siege at a religious cult's headquarters in Waco, Texas, failed because of inept planning, flawed intelligence, and a lack of subterfuge, according to a senior British policeman. The inquest into the 23 Britons who died heard a scathing criticism yesterday of the whole operation from Detective Chief Inspector Albert Yates. He told the Manchester hearing there were no contingency plans made and the senior planners of the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Communications failed as 76 heavily-armed officers raided the Mount Carmel compound of the Branch Davidian cult headed by David Koresh. The operation on February 28, 1993, was supposed to be ''highly sensitive'', yet the ATF had booked 153 rooms in three local hotels for the night following the raid. ''It shows there was really not a great deal of subterfuge going into the planning of this operation,'' said Mr Yates, who headed a team from Greater Manchester Police which investigated the events."

Thank you for making this video. One of the many gruesome details is that the refrigerated truck used to store the bodies after the fire was mysteriously unplugged and the bodies had been left to rot for a few days in the Texas heat before they reached the coroner's office. Also, a good number of people when autopsied had no smoke in their lungs, indicating that they had died before the fire had started. This was mass slaughter by sadistic psychopaths who remain at large, collecting generous federal pensions at this point.

OK where do I begin? in order, ..... "only the coroner is able to understand what they say" This is an incorrect statement, there are many good detectives out there, along with doctors and lawyers, and others that can "read" a corpse. And you do realize that many a "coroner" and "medical examiner" makes many mistakes. Indeed, on this very channel, the lovely, talented, and knowledgeable Caitlin Doughty has pointed this out including the fact that in some places it don't take much to be employed as an ME and many lack full qualifications and make huge mistakes. Now about this "S" word that keeps getting thrown around, "science" We all need to be careful with this. Science is just another word for knowledge. It is NOT wisdom, nor is it understanding. You can have knowledge (AKA science) without understanding. You can have understanding, without wisdom. There are three things you need to know about science 1: it's repeatable 2: it's verifiable 3: it's falsifiable To go a little further there is the scientific method of learning, which is; Observe, Theorize, and Attempt to prove. And the benchmark of science is Repeatability. But science, like religion and politics, can be used to push an agenda or an ideal or a conclusion that was jumped to in order to serve a specific person or group rather than all. Did you know that science is a scriptural word and occurs in both the Old and New Testament? Bonus round; and what is wisdom? It is the PRACTICAL and useful application of knowledge and understanding.

It’s a very odd thing...I remember most of the hub-bub about this Koresh guy was that he was abusing the children and that’s why the government had to go in there. That’s what the media hype was to try and gain support from the public against this man and the “cult”. There was other things like stockpiling guns, but it was the idea that children were being abused that won the public’s support. Then they just barge on in there, as if the children being abused in there don’t really matter at all. Kids die. All this just reeks of there being other reasons why there was a siege. Much of what we were told ended up not being really the case at all.

This whole mess did not have to happen....period.! The ATF had a warrent(s) for Koresh a month or two before the raid. Koresh would drive into town once or twice a week. He could have easily been snagged without any drama and there were plenty of opportunities to grab him. But, the ATF had just put together a SWAT team and the ATF bosses were eager to use it. So they planned out this massive raid on the compound to try out their new toy. The ATF brass all the way up the chain are totally responsible for this fiasco. Not just the dead & wounded Davidians but also the dead & wounded ATF agents. The Clinton Administration went into full coverup mode and you know the results. Another point I want to make is about the affidavit for application of the search warrant. I've read the entire thing and cannot believe a judge didn't question it much less sign it giving it his blessing. The affidavit is so full of leaps of imagination, convoluted connections of "facts", hearsay and third hand "information"(rumors actually), its just pathetic and shocking. I know in my dept you'd never skate by doing such a sloppy affidavit, especially if anyone got hurt or falsely accused. I would've been lucky to just have been fired. But the Feds, especially the FBI don't feel they have to answer to anyone for their abuses of power. As we have seen the past year or so, nothing has changed at the FBI.

Actually, I'd say this is a lot like a shooter at a high school. In those cases, all of the kids come out, hands up, and are escorted to buses. In this case, the actual appropriate response (to my mind) would have been for all of them to come out, hands up, single file, and let them take them to whatever place the ATF and FBI had wanted to take them. Once they had been inspected and not found carrying weapons - there would not have been anything they could have charged them with. The NRA would probably have gotten a lawyer for them to help protect their right to bear arms. Now - they probably would have charged David Koresh and maybe other leaders, but the vast majority of the people would then have been free to return to the compound. As I have already said - the men thought with what was between their legs rather than their heads.

@@williardbillmore5713 They had the ability to detain Koresh for questioning at any point because of reasonable suspicion. Warrants aren't mayflies, they don't have to be served as soon as issued. There were tactical options, but the ATF in the 90s had a very wide lack of accountability and one of the more onerous legacies of this and the previous year's completely overzealous use of multijurisdictional law enforcement as well as a civilian deputized posse to serve a bench warrant for failure to appear on a charge deemed to be entrapment was the radicalization of groups within the United States. That persists to this day, and spawned the douche canoe who with another person conspired to and successfully did blow up a federal building in OKC, amongst other grim highlights.

@williardbillmore5713 3 года назад

I agee. The killing *was* unnecessary. Had Howell gone peacefully when arrested by ATF that morning at his front door, and allowed the compound to be lawfully searched honoring the warrants, not one single person would have been killed. Not one. The ATF were doing their jobs and had full jurisdiction over some of the laws Howell was brazenly committing. Howell knew that with what he had been doing with the fully automatic weapons, the children and the explosives, he would never see the outside of a prison again for the rest of his life. His decision to take everyone of his followers he could with him with guns blazing was the act of what he called himself. "The Madman of Waco". It is a shame that ATF didn't put a round in Howell's head that morning Mcveigh was just another madman whose actions were completely unjustified. Just like Howell. The world is a much better place with both of them dead. Don't you agree, Kevin?

@kdawson020279 3 года назад

@@williardbillmore5713 By the extension of that logic, we could justify the use of deadly force to other unjustified actions. Instead of letting a bunch of federal criminals return to their homes after laying siege to the Capitol, they could have started dropping bodies. Evidence makes it clear they were intent on causing harm to the Vice President and members of Congress and were willing to injure hundreds of officers to try and prevent Congress from executing a duty that is mandated by the Constitution. However, it becomes a bit of a Tienanmen Square moment and whether it be trespassing on federal property with weapons to attempt a coup or sporadic violence, arson, and property damage, the idea is that as a first-world nation we're better than a policy of "kill them all and let God sort them out" in all relevant examples. This is why the Bill of Rights has a ton of instructions on the rights of the accused but only prescribes capital punishment for actual treason [and not the heavy misuse of the word treason when people mean sedition or disloyalty].

Not necessarily. A strongly built structure can remain standing even if a vehicle, including a tank, is driven through the wall. Just Google "car drives into building" and you will see many examples of cars punching large holes in walls and the building stays up. I know, you said tank, but my point remains. A tank would knock a larger hole in the wall but still not large enough to collapse an entire building. The buildings in the compound were not built to specifications as required by code, and were not inspected. Much of the work was done by uncertified crews who used substandard materials. THAT is the reason the buildings collapsed, and it's also the reason they burned so fiercely and the fire spread so quickly. They were huge fire traps and would have eventually burned completely down even if the raid never happened.

I have a bit of an obscure story that you might be interested in. The true story of Fet-Mats - The Petrified Man. He is a perfect fit for an Iconic Corpse but hasn't gotten much attention on the internet. To my knowledge you'd be the first English speaking youtuber to cover it. In 1719, a young miner was found dead underneath some rubble deep inside the Falun copper mine in Sweden. From the way he looked he couldn't have been dead for more than a couple of days, but none of the other workers recognized him. He was brought up to the surface where the word was spreading about the unknown corpse and a large crowd gathered to identify the young man. That's when an old woman suddenly exclaimed "But that's my Mats, it's my fiancé!". As it turns out, the body belonged to Mats "Fet-Mats" Israelsson who had gone missing a whole 42 years earlier! His body had been perfectly preserved by the vitriol (copper sulfate) found inside the mine. Fet-Mats, now rock hard from being exposed to the open air, was promptly put on display as the "Petrified Man". However, he started to decay as the layer of vitriol covering him slowly evaporated. He was buried under the floor of Stora Kopparberg Church after 30 years of being on display. Even then they wouldn't let him rest. First he was moved into the cemetery in 1816, and then again in 1862. This time his bones ended up in a wooden box in the attic of the church where they just forgot about him. He was rediscovered in the year 1900 during a renovation and, once again, wound up on display for another 30 years. In 1930, over 250 years after his death, he was buried for the last time... hopefully.

Same thing with Gordon Kahl in North Dakota. The local Sheriff in Carrington called the Fed when Gordon was in the Carrington Hospital (a place I spent a week or so in years ago) recovering from a small plane crash where he had broken his leg. He advised the Marshall service to come and serve him there since there would be no chance of confrontation. The US Marshall in Fargo told the Sheriff in no uncertain terms to "stay the hell out of our business, we will take Kahl when we are good and ready!" Well you can look up the massacre in Medina to find out how that went. I got this directly from the Sheriff's mouth, I worked in a nearby town and knew the Sheriff very well, we used to have coffee together at least once a week.

Given the “notoriety” for cops shooting dogs for no reason without repercussion it’s highly believable that the “ATF shot first at the dogs” account is the true one and the agent was pressured into retraction.

It’s interesting to note that the tear gas used was “CS” gas that, when exposed to heat, turns into HCN, Cyanide gas, the same stuff prisons used to kill inmates in the gas chamber. That explains how some of the kids’ bodies were horribly deformed, like pretzels. The authorities said that the CS particles weren’t flammable. They failed to mention that the dispersant that spread the CS powder was paint thinner. The chief sniper on the team, Lon Horiuchi, deemed that anyone who passed by a window posed a threat and authorized a shooting. Examination of Sierra One, the sniper’s nest, disclosed rifle cases on the floor next to a wall bearing chalk marks like a picket fence. Horiuchi used the marks, presumably for scoring. Historical Note: Lon became famous for executing Randy Weaver’s wife and unborn son in an FBI raid at Ruby Ridge. The killings were deemed "unconstitutional."

@berkleypearl2363 3 года назад

I’d like to add to the conversation about members of religious cults. Some people say “how could they be so dumb to keep practicing this religion?”. It’s not about being dumb. It’s about mindset, manipulation, and social pressure. There are more factors at work than just “being dumb”. For example: being raised within the system, or relying on it for food and shelter, a combination of a lack of outside support and lack of influence that builds a more holistic view of the world and religion. People who join cults later in life do it for the sense of community and love, even if that ‘love’ can be revoked at any time. It’s complicated and scary because, for me, there’s always a sense of “am I susceptible to this kind of thinking? I know I’m smart enough to recognize a cult and fun for the hills, right?” But they are still people who deserve love and affection. People shouldn’t be blamed for being victims of religious abuse. It’s hurtful and doesn’t help solve the problem.

I know you said you don’t cover extremist groups, but I think covering the bodies of Jonestown victims would really help people better understand that whole situation. A lot of the media calls them brainwashed people that “drank the coolaid” and voluntarily committed suicide. However, a lot of the survivors reported people being forced to drink the poison, injected with it against their will, being shot etc. I just think a video covering that would help humanize the victims. Love the channel ❤️

@snoodledumpling4486 3 года назад

@jamallabarge2665 3 года назад

Jones and his planning commission were evil, vile people. They were mostly skinny white brunette women. Jones used them, got them pregnant, made most get abortions. They would vote for suicide while others blew it off. The average Jonestown resident wanted an even break. Many were poor blacks and poor whites who found a community that let them take care of others and be taken care of by others. Jones had his "security force" surround them. These creepos had guns, crossbows and bows. Some were shot with guns and arrows. Most were poisoned. Some took the poison by choice. Nobody is sure who among the adults did so. How can a child commit suicide? I don't remember how many kids were there - maybe between 200 and 300 of them. They were all murdered.
