Lay down your arms!" When the colonists refused, the first battle of the American War for Independence began. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: "A well- regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and to bear arms shall not be infringed." President Thomas Jefferson said: "The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." The 1876 Texas Constitution provides in Article I, Section 23: "Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime." In 1930, 15 years after Ellen G. White died, Victor T. Houteff claimed to have the prophetic office. His teachings later became known as the Davidian ("Shepherd's Rod") movement. He printed his own currency which was required to be used on the earlier Mount Carmel property.[[2]] In 1955 Florence Houteff sold the Old Mount Carmel property and purchased around 400 acres that eventually became only 77 acres.[[3]] In 1959 more than one thousand Branch Davidians gathered at Mount Carmel waiting for God's deliverance. Among the crowd was Ben L. Roden who said that God had told him to warn the Davidians that they were following a foolish course. He had made arrangements for land in northern Israel and said that deliverance would come in 1960.[[4]] Ben Roden has two main preoccupations: the establishment of the Davidic kingdom in Israel and a virulent strain of anti-Catholicism.[[5]] David Wayne Howell was born in Houston on August 17, 1959. He did not know who his real mother was until he was five years old. Bonnie Clark, his mother, became pregnant with Koresh at the age of 14 after sleeping with a 20-year-old carpenter named Bobby Howell. The pair remained unmarried. Two years later his father met another woman and left.[[6]] In 1962 Ben L. Roden and his followers bought out the Davidians and moved into the Mount Carmel Center.[[7]] From 1962-1977 Ben Roden taught that he was the Antitypical David, the king of Israel. He taught that Christians were required to celebrate Hebrew feast days including Passover, Pentecost, Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles.[[8]] Under the influence of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Adventists began keeping a Saturday Sabbath.[[9]] The "Shepherd's Rod" was taken from Mose's rod--the only rod that has ever spoken--and the rod that Moses used to deliver Israel out of Egypt. Houteff rested his case upon the Bible and the teachings of Ellen White.[[10]] A new location was determined in 1935 by reliance upon Isa. 19:24 which discussed Israel as "a blessing in the midst of the land."[[11]] At Mount Carmel Elijah challenged the 450 prophets of Baal. The battle was won when Elijah called down fire from heaven which consumed a bullock on the alter. Afterwards the onlookers took the 450 false prophets and killed them,[[12]] The "Branch" was Christ and Christ was a Davidian.[[13]] Ben Roden was considered the "Antitypical David" referred to in Ezekiel 34-37.[[14]] In 1977 Ben Roden's wife Lois claimed to have a vision from God in which she saw the Holy Spirit as a feminine aspect of the Trinity.[[15]] In 1977 Lois Roden was studying Revelations 18:1. She looked out her window and saw a vision of a shining, silver angel flying by. She concluded that the angel represented "the Holy Spirit Mother." Her workl became to bring out the femininity of God in the Bible.[[16]] In 1978 when Ben Roden died, Lois Roden assumed the presidency of the Branch Davidians at Mount Carmel.[[17]] In 1979 Vernon Howell was baptised into the Tyler, Texas Seventh-day Adventist Church.[[18]] In 1981 Vernon Howell was disfellowshipped from the Seventh-day Adventist church. He arrived at Waco and became the handyman at Mount Carmel.[[19]] In his later years Koresh spoke of an attempted rape by three boys when he was seven years old.[[20]] Bonnie Halderman said that by the time he was thirteen he had "memorized much of the New Testament..."[[21]] When Vernon Howell came to Mt. Carmel, his carpentry skills were much needed "since most of the buildings hastily constructed in 1959 were already falling apart."[[22]] In February 1982, the Senate Judicary Committee said in a report that the ATF had "disregarded rights guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States." It noted that expert evidence was submitted "establishing that approximately 75 percent of BATF gun prosecutions were aimed at ordinary citizens who had neither criminal intent nor knowledge, but were enticed by agents into unknowing technical violations." In the wake of the rreport, plans to abolish the agency were shelved after neither the U.S. Customs agency or the Secret Service would accept the transfer of the discredited BATF agents into their organizations.[[23]] Koresh admitted that he had sleep with 67-year-old Lois Roden-- but only because of Isa. 8:3.[[24]] In 1983 Vernon Howell first claimed divine inspiration. He convinced Lois Roden that because of Chapter 8 of Isaiah he must have sex relations with her. The leader and the handyman began to cohabitate. This generated friction with George Roden who also began to claim divine inspiration.[[25]] In February 1983, in the confrontation at rural Medina, North Dakota, with Gordon Kahl, a follower (member) of Posse Comitatus, the federal marshall for North Dakota and one of his deputies were shot to death in a gunfight. Kahl was wanted for violating probation after a conviction for refusing to pay the income tax.[[26]] The Posse Comitatus, like the Christian-Patriots Defense League, "espouses Identity fundamentalism "[[27]] Kahl and his wife, son and a few colleagues were confronted after they had left a tax resistance meeting.[[28]] On February 13, 1983, Gordon Kahl was ambushed by federal agents in Medina, North Dakota. The agents dressed in plain clothes fired at him without either identification or warning. His alleged crime was being an "illegal tax protester." He became a federal fugitive after shooting back and killing several agents.[[29]] On June 3, 1983, the FBI located Gordon Kahl at a friend's house in Smithville, Arkansas. After the FBI had arrested the homeowners, Kahl was alone in the house--nearly deaf due to WWII injuries. A federal swat team sneaked in behind him as he watched TV and shot him in the back of the head. Gene Matthews, the sheriff who had witnessed the killing, was shot a few seconds later by the Federal Swat Team. Kahl's body was then dismembered. In their hurry, agents kicked one of the severed feet under the nearby refrigerator.[[30]] The federal agents than brought mattresses into the kitchen. The body of Gordon Kahl, and his severed parts, was placed on them. Gasoline and fuel oil was used to torch the house. The following day the site was burned once again. An autopsy on Kahl's remains by a forensic pathologist concluded that federal agents perjured their testimony as to the real events that occurred during the murder and incineration of Gordon Kahl.[[31]] The cabin was burnt to the ground and all evidence at the FBI-controlled crime scene was burned up.[[32]] Gordon Kahl, who termed his son Yorie as a first rate soldier of Jesus Christ, was assaulted and his body burned. News reports said that the Arkansas sheriff was killed by shots from the rear. Despite the claim of a shoot-out between Kahl and the local sheriff, both parties were shot from behind.[[33]] In 1984 a Branch Davidian convention was held but accomplished little.[[34]] Vernon Howell married Rachel Jones, daughter of a longtime Davidian minister Perry Jones, at the age of 14.[[35]] On the night of January 13, 1984, a Vernon Howell death decree (based on Ezek. 9:1-5) was issued against George Roden, the Roden family and Lois Roden--according to George Roden.[[36]] Vernon Howell married Perry Jone's fair-haired daughter Rachel Jones on January 18, 1984. She was just 14 years old. A few weeks before the marriage she had said she "couldn't stand" Howell.[[37]] In 1985 Vernon Howell and his already pregnant child-bride Rachel went to Israel with the help of contributions of his social security- supported group. It was there that he had a vision that he was the modern day Cyrus. In April 1985, upon the couple's return to Texas, they had a son named Cyrus ben-Joseph Howell. A 40-acre property was purchased in a pine forest in Palestine, Texas.[[38]] In the January/February 1985 issue of Police Marksman,[[39]] Richard Garrison listed four types of survivalists: 1) The Hobby or Closet Survivalist, 2) the Retreater Suvivalist, 3) the Religious Survivalist and the Political Survivalist. He said law enforcment problems had arisen from a small percentage of survivalists whose storage plans included "controlled and prohibited weapons..." Both the 1983 ADL report and Garrison spoke of personal beliefs about the end of the world as identifying marks to alert police. In 1986, Howell's mother Bonnie joined his group.[[40]] The Howell Australian contingent left Palestine, Texas in 1986 for Melbourne to recruit their friends and families. Howell "worked it so that everyone was forced to rely on him, and him alone. All previous bonds and attachments, family or otherwise, meant nothing. His rationale was if they had no one to depend on, they had to depend on him, and that made them vulnerable."[[41]] In January 1986, Marc Breault joined the group.[[42]] In February 1986, Howell made his first trip to Australia where he recruited some who were members of the Ben and Lois Roden group.[[43]] In March 1986, Howell first slept with Karen Doyle, aged 14. He claimed her as his second wife and began to teach polygomy.[[44]] In June 1986, a number of people from Honolulu, Hawaii joined the Branch Davidians. Howell taught that he was the second intercessor for mankind and that Christ only died for those before the cross.[[45]] In July-August 1986, Howell began secretly sleeping with Michele Jones, his wife's youngest 12-year-old sister.[[46]] In August 1986 a recruitment drive was made in Wisconsin but it failed.[[47]] In September 1986 Marc Breault broke with Howell's teaching that Christ did not die for our sins. After Howell appeared to change his mind, he then began to preach that he was entitled to 140 wives, sixty women as queens and eighty as concubines. this was from the biblical Song of Solomon.[[48]] Koresh compared himself to King David who had takeen up the practice in his old age of bedding down with younger women to keep warm (in Hebrew this practice as called abishag).[[49]] In December 1986, people from Hawaii began settling in Palestine, Texas. Sherri Jewel, Kiri's mother, was introduced into the group.[[50]] David Koresh, 33, called the Branch Davidians "God's Marines."[[51]] IIn the Bible Elijah confronted the false prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel.[[52]] While the other six raiders languished in McClennan County jail, David Koresh and Paul Fatta raised almost $100,000 for bail the day after their capture.[[53]] In early 1987 Robyn Bunds joined Howell's Harem.[[54]] In September 1987, Sherri Jewel joined Howell's harem.[[55]] On November 3, 1987, a shoot-out occurred with George Roden on the Mount Carmel property. Eight Davidians were arrested--including Vernon Howell.[[56]] Howell stood trial for conspiracy to murder after a shootout with George Roden--a former Branch Davidian cult leader.[[57]] Jack Harwell, McLennan County Sheriff, called Koresh on the phone and informed him of the charges, asked him to turn himself in, along with six others, and to surrender his weapons. "When deputies arrived at the Church grounds, Koresh and the other Davidian members peacefully complied."[[58]] The ATF said that Koresh had to be arrested at the complex because he had not left it for several months.[[59]] Koresh was known to jog on the same route most mornings and frequented a local restaurant and hardware store on a regular basis.[[60]] Later the AFT finally admitted that they knew nothing about Koresh's whereabouts because they never even put him under surveillance--let alone try to arrest him.[[61]] By late 1987, George Roden "had almost no money, few followers, mounting debts and an angry Texas Supreme Court Justice on his trail."[[62]] Carmela, Roden's first wife, went to Israel and never returned. Amo Bishop Roden was his second wife at the time of the shootout.[[63]] On March 21, 1988, Roden was served with a citation for contempt of court. U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr. sentenced him to six months in jail for continuing to file expletive-filled motions despite orders to cease and desist.[[64]] In December of 1987, the Israelis began receiving shipments of CS "powder" from Federal Labs. In 1988, INTERPOL changed their constitution so they could investigate anyone classified as a "terrorist", such as David Koresh. Also in 1988, under the Omnibus Crime Control Act, the U.S. Marshal's service was transfered to the use of the UN Secretary General.[[65]] In 1988 Bonnie's husband and her son Roger joined the group.[[66]] On April 25, 1988, seven of the eight Davidians were acquitted. The jury hung by 9-3 in favor of Howell's acquittal. The state dropped the charges against him.[[67]] In March-May 1988, George Roden went to jail and a couple paid the back taxes owing on the Mount Carmel property. This allowed Howell and the Davidians to move in.[[68]] In 1987 Howell took over the Branch Davidians--an offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventists. The sect was headquartered ten miles outside Waco in a 77-acre farm called "Mount Carmel."[[69]] Howell paid up 16 years of delinquent taxes, obtained a lien and then asked the sheriff to enforce the lien.[[70]] George Roden was sentenced to jail for six months for contempt after sending letters to the Texas Supreme Court threatening the justices with AIDS and herpes.[[71]] Fifteen months after the trial, in the summer of 1988, Roden was approached by a man who claimed to be the Messiah after talking with Koresh. Roden split Dale Adair's head open with an ax and the man died.[[72]] In July 1988, Nicole Gent was recruited and soon afterwards joined Howell's harem.[[73]] On September 10, 1988, the first child was born to Howell from other than his legal wife.[[74]] In November 1988, Robyn Bund's child Shaun (originally named Wisdom by Howell) was born.[[75]] In early 1989 friction between Howell and Breault began. Nicole Gent left for Australia to have her baby.[[76]] Beginning in early 1989, Howell had people beaten for disobedience to the group.[[77]] His high command later became David Jones (the chief Mighty Man), Douglas Wayne Martin (his lawyer) and Steve Schneider (chief evangelist, spokesman and high priest).[[78]] On April 28, 1989 Marc Breault and Elizabeth were photographed on their wedding day with Steve Schneider and Sherri Jewel. The photo shows Beault as cross-eyed.[[79]] In May 1989, Elizabeth returned to Australia and Breault waited for a migrant's visa to join her. He tried to reconcile himself with Howell and it worked for a time.[[80]] On August 5, 1989, Howell taught that all women belonged to him and that only he had the right to procreate.[[81]] In September 1989, Marc Breault left Mount Carmel--never to return. On September 29, 1989, Breault arrived in Australia.[[82]] From September 1989 to June 1990 there was a battle for the allegiance of the Davidians in Australia. Most left Howell.[[83]] In October 1989, Howell claimed the male member's wives after two months of intensive teaching.[[84]] He was quoted as telling the men: "All you men are just fuckers, that's all you are. You married without getting God's permission. Even worse, you married my wives. God gave them to me first. So now I'm taking them back. I'm the only one that can produce righteous children. The rest of you are just shit."[[85]] He had decreed that the Billings method used for birth control was to be used in reverse. He directed women to inform him when they had arrived at the most fertile part of their cycle. In October 1989 he began to have sex with the other men's wives.[[86]] The New Light thing, where Koresh claimed the exclusive taking of the wives was said to be the last straw--the one that would lead to muntiny and thus to the end.[[87]] In October 1989, Howell made his most damaging tape which was sent to the Australian Davidians to try to keep them with him.[[88]] On October 18, 1989, Odessa police charged George Roden with murder. Months later he was sentenced to an indeterminate stay in the Vernon State Hospital in Vernon, Texas.[[89]] 1. Marc Breault and Martin King, Inside The Cult 283 (1993). 2.

Koresh recruited 12 Israelis by promising them plane fares and music-connected jobs in Waco. In the end he managed to obtain only one Israeli recruit, Pablo Cohen (a South American Jew) who died in the fire on April 19, 1993.[[1]] Pablo Cohen, a "polyglotally monickered" Israeli citizen was living in Chile before he became a Branch Davidian.[[2]] When Robyn Bunds led police up the stairs in the house in a Los Angeles suburb, Koresh was found surrounded by twenty women. Koresh lost his compsure. His voice quivered: "It showed how completely dependent he was for his 'authority' upon their own unquestioning acceptance."[[3]] Koresh surrounded himself with people who devoutly believed in scripture. This allowed him to excuse his otherwise intolerable behavior by quoting scripture. He was most likely to recruit those without a wide-ranging understanding of the Bible.[[4]] Control was exercised by the fear against "going against a prophet." To make sure that unfavorable outside information did not reach the faithful, a sealed, fortified, utterly impregnable fortress was the solution..[[5]] Koresh stressed that the outside world was evil.[[6]] In 1990 Vernon Howell changed his name to David (King David) Koresh (Hebrew for Cyrus).[[7]] The name change came in the Spring of 1990.[[8]] He once said that Koresh meant death--the rider on the fourth pale horse.[[9]] He rebuilt the site with a siege in mind, according to the McClennan County sheriff.[[10]] Former cult members claimed he had sex with all the women in the cult while male members were ordered to be celibate.[[11]] One night Marc Breault said he stayed up and saw 13-year-old Alisha come out of Koresh's room at 5:00 a.m. with tousled hair with a change in clothes she did not have when she went in.[[12]] The women and men became separated in the complex. Baby girls were treated like garbage. Boys were needed for the army. Children were forbidden from having any contact with their natural fathers. To compensate the men for the loss of their wives and children, Koresh gave them as much beer as they could drink.[[13]] Howell's followers were required to observe Davidian rules regarding vegetarianism, Sabbath-keeping, and hour-after-hour Bible study led by their meat-eating leader.[[14]] Some of the Davidians wanted to eat meat, like Koresh, but they would not go against him.[[15]] A comment has been made that may apply both to the Davidians and U.S. taxpayers: "People throw good money after bad. Once they've made an investment, whether of emotion, time, money, or labor (and in the case of the Branch Davidians, all of the above), rather than face the fact that they've been made fools of, and cutting their losses and running, they will continue to invest ever greater amounts of time, money, emotions, and so on. (NP) If they just leave, what do they have to show for all those years, all that money, all that loyalty, all that willingness to believe?"[[16]] Korsh first separated the fathers from the mothers. The children by age twelve were to move into domitories with others of the same sex.[[17]] It has been said that before Koresh turned the children "into ashes, he dragged them through the mud."[[18]] Koresh, it is claimed, had a "whipping room" and he told the children to refer to their parents as "dogs." To himself alone was reserved the title "Father."[[19]] In February 1990 Marc Breault was in New Zealand.[[20]] In May 1990, Breault made a second trip to New Zealand. leslie and Poia Vaega defected from Howell.[[21]] On May 15, 1990, Vernon Howell applied to a court in Pomona, California for a change of name.[[22]] In June 1990 Breault flew back to Waco to be ignored by the Waco police department. Geoff Hossack, an Australian private investigator, became involved.[[23]] In July-August 1990, Robyn Bunds broke away from Howell. A raid at La Verne yielded results. Three warrants, according to Hossack, for statutory rape, were issued against Howell.[[24]] Jack Hackworth participated in a raid on the Branch Davidian's property in La Verne, California. Hackworth, who hated paedophiles with a passion, said Howell was all trembling and scared: "No son of God here."[[25]] In August 1990 affidavits were signed against Koresh by eight Australians alleging: 1) Statutory rape, 2) Assault with a deadly weapon, 3) Tax fraud, 4) Massive immigration violations, 5) Failure to register the births of children, 6) Possession and carrying of concealed weapons, 7) Food and water deprivation, 8) Child abuse, 9) Failure to enroll children at school, 10) Plans to engage authorities in a gun battle, 11) Fears of child sacrifices and 12) Exposing children to explicit episodes of sex and violence.[[26]] Evidence against Koresh included two video media stories and audio tapes in which Koresh described sexual activities with under-aged girls.[[27]] On August 28, 1990 the Pomona court granted Vernon Howell's request to change his name to David Koresh.[[28]] Koresh claimed to be the Man on the White Horse--the Lion of Judah mentioned in Revelation. "His reasoning was that he was a Leo!"[[29]] In October 1990, Steve Schneider made a last futile appeal to the members in Australia.[[30]] Janet Reno, who would later claimed full responsibility for the April 19th assault, told a Florida meeting of the B'nai Brith in 1991 that waiting periods were only a step, registration only a step, and the prohibition of private ownership of firearms was the only solution to controlling crime.[[31]] Janet Reno and Lloyd Bentsen are permanent and alternative members, respectively, of INTERPOL. Article 30 of the INTERPOL constitution requires members to expatriate their citizenship to the U.S.[[32]] In June 1991, Koresh had a 29-year-old women punished after she began to hear possibly competitive voices. She was imprisoned for four months in one of the cottages under guard. Koresh, it is claimed, told one of the guards: "If she gives you any trouble, fuck her." The woman was repeatedly raped and beaten during the four months. Later, while wandering the streets of San Francisco, she was committed to a mental asylum.[[33]] In June 1991, was the first confirmation of Kiri Jewell's danger. the first rescue attempt failed.[[34]] For more than a year Koresh had predicted an armed confrontation with federal agents. He nicknamed the compound "Ranch Apocalypse." Some $200,000 worth of weapons, thousands of rounds of ammunition and a granade launcher were obtained.[[35]] The traced shopping list included a 50 calibre machine gun and an M-76 grenade launcher.[[36]] On December 30, 1991, the Australian program "A Current Affair" (not related to U.S. version) interviewed the Austrailian Davidians. Martin King was assigned to the story.[[37]] On January 4, 1992, Koresh drank Miller beer, ate seafood, steak and salad but not pork.[[38]] On January 5, 1992, an interview with Robyn Bunds was made in California and Koresh was interviewed at Mount Carmel.[[39]] On January 7, 1992, the Vernonites received official notification of the temporary custody order.[[40]] In January-February 1992, final preparations were made for Kiri Jewel's court hearing.[[41]] Koresh forbade his wifes from talking to one another about him. According to Marc Breault, when Koresh took a little girl to bed, "he made sure the girl would leave his bedroom very early in the morning before anyone in the camp got up." He confided to Bresult: "I'll be put in jail for this one day." Once when someone talked about child sex behind his back, Koresh said that in the future such talk would result in the offender having their tongue torn out.[[42]] On February 27, 1992, Joyce Sparks of the Texas Department of Human Services in Waco arrived unannounced at Mont Carmel to investigate a complaint from outside Texas that Koresh was running a commune and abusing young girls.[[43]] Sparks spoke to Rachel Koresh's wife and a few children without notingg any armed watchstanders. A few weeks later she returned to the property and was escorted on a tour by David Koresh. She then filed a report saying that the charges were not verified.[[44]] From March until June 1992, David Block was a member of the Branch Davidian cult. He pointed a finger at a potentially dangerous mechanical engineer, lathe operator, gunsmith and designer who was still inside the complex--Don Bunds. Block told Aguilia that he had seen Bunds sitting in front of the computer with an auto-cad program designing a "grease gun" or "Sten gun." This was a machine gun type weapon from World War II.[[45]] On April 6, 1992, Ms. Sparks returned to Mount Carmel. She said that Koresh had told her he was a Messanger of God, that the world was coming to an end, and that when God reveals himself "the riots in Los Angeles would pale in comparison to what was going to happen in Waco, Texas." In a "military-type operation" "all non-believers" would have to suffer. However, the riots in Los Angeles did not break out until April 30, 1992.[[46]] When Sparks returned for another visit, Koresh explained that the buried school bus was used for target practice so as not to disturb the neighbors.[[47]] Around May 1992, NBC aired "In the Line of Duty...Manhunt in the Dakotas." This program sought to dispel rumors of government wrongdoing in the murder of Gordon Kahl.[[48]] In May of 1992, Larry Gilbreath of the UPS discovered 50 empty hand grenades after a package accidently broke open while he was loading it.[[49]] Gilbreath of UPS notified Lt. Barber of the delivery of "suspicious parcels" to David Koresh and Mike Schroeder.[[50]] Schroeder had been chosen by Koresh to accompany him in a band.[[51]] Gilbreath had attempted to make a delivery COD to the MagBag (a car restoration service of the Davidians) but he had been told to go on to Mount Carmel to make the deliveries. He saw several manned observation posts and believed the observers were armed.[[52]] Gilbreath also told Lt. Barber that two cases of inert hand grenades and black gun powder were delivered by him to MagBag in May 1992 but the source was unknown to him. He also knew that "90 pounds of aluminum powder and 30-40 cardboard tubes" as well as other "ordnance" were shipped to Mount Carmel.[[53]] On June 4, 1992, the ATF-dubbed "Operation Showtime" began when Special Agent David Aguilera of ATF met with Lt. Gene Barber of the McLennan County Sheriff's office.[[54]] Aguilera was furnished with recently taken aerial photographs of the Mount Carmel Church which had been taken by CPT Dan Weyenberg of the McLennan County Sheriff's Department.[[55]] In July 1992, when the AFT checked a local gun store and found records of Branch Davidians gun purchses, Koresh, contacted by the store owner (Henry McMahon), offered the agents to come out to the complex and check around for themselves. The offer was declined.[[56]] A helicopter that was attempting to dump fuel on the Randy Weaver cabin was stopped only by an alert reporter waving a camera in the air.[[57]] Around November 1992 was the last date that Rosenblatt heard from Koresh in a letter that said Koresh would certainly be in Israel for Pesach (Passover).[[58]] In the late summer of 1992, the ATF rented a house about 300 yards down the road from Ranch Apocalypse for undercover agents.[[59]] Two more explosions were observed at Mt. Carmel the first two weeks of November. One was observed by a passing sheriff's deputy.[[60]] On November 13, 1992, Aguilera of the ATF was told by Lt. Coy Jones of the McLennan County Sheriff's office that another anonymous UPS employee had said he had a relative who was a machinist who worked with David Koresh. Aguilera speculated that the Davidians were making machine guns.[[61]] In January 1993, CS Gas was banned at the Chemical Weapons Convention in Paris. On January 4, 1993, the Jerusalem Post reported that a "hit team of six Israelis" had been sent to wipe out Neo-Nazi leaders in Europe. Baruch Ben-Yoseph said four of his activists were already in place in Germany. A little more than a month before the ATF raid, the sheriff had determined there were no illegal weapons in the Branch Davidian church. The sheriff, pursuant to a search warrant, had taken in all the arms and then returned them after determining they were all legal weapons. The BATF had stated that the presence of illegal weapons was the reason for the massive assault on the church.[[62]] On January 13, 1993, AFT agent Aguilera interviewed the UPS man who told him that in May 1992 a package "accidently broke open" and had about 50 pineapple hand grenades in it.[[63]] On January 31, 1993, the Branch Davidians owed $3.275.88 in back taxes based upon Mt. Carmel.[[64]] During the early days of February 1993, Koresh was seen in several places in Waco--including the Chelsea's pub where he watched bands and had a few beers.[[65]] Three weeks before the assault, Koresh was seen eating bean and cheese nachos at the Richland Mall (and had been stopping by there about once a week from late January until the middle of February).[[66]] Another store owner said he dropped by about three or four times a week.[[67]] On February 22, 1993, McCormick and England of the Waco Tribune Herald called Koresh to answer some questions. They were told that Koresh was working on a car at the Mag Bag--well down the road and definitely away from the complex.[[68]] A February 23, 1993 FBI memo, obtained by the Dallas Morning News, stated that no information had been developed to verify Michigan allegations of "child abuse and neglect, tax evasion, slavery and reports of possible mass destruction."[[69]] Jack Killorin, Washington ATF spokesman, concluded that Koresh "would either launch an attack on Waco residents or instigate a mass suicide."[[70]] A few days before the first raid, undercover ATF Special Agent Robert Rodriquez was contacted by Koresh and invited to a Bible study. Rodriquez was told that the Davidians didn't "pay federal or local taxes" and was shown a Gun Owners of America video which protrayed the ATF was an agency that violated the rights of gun owners by threats and lies. A local Waco judge (U.S. Magistrate Dennis Green) signed a search warrant.[[71]] On February 25, 1993, Judge Greene issued a search warrant based on agent Aguilera's affidavit.[[72]] By February 25, 1993, the ATF believed there was a leak in the McClennan County Sheriff's office so the decision was made to bypass local authorities. They intended to lure Koresh away from the complex to avoid involving the women and children. But when they learned that Koresh had been tipped off--they had to act immediately.[[73]] The BATF dubbed its February raid "Operation Trojan Horse."[[74]] On February 27, 1993, the media was told to get ready for a big blowout and to get their TV cameras in place.[[75]] On Saturday, February 27, 1993, the Waco Tribune-Herald began a series of articles on the Branch Davidian "cult."[[76]] Prior to the raid, reports said the Branch Davidians had kept to themselves and harmed no one outside their church.[[77]] The ATF privately criticized the Waco paper for begining to publish its series on February 27, 1993, a day before the raid.[[78]] Originally the AFT said they had an arrest warrant for Koresh and a search warrant for the complex. Later it was shown they had no arrest warrant.[[79]] Before the raid, AFT agents told the Houston Post was told, the ATF had practiced to where it took seven seconds to get out of the tarp- covered cattle trailers and 12 seconds to get to the front door.[[80]] On August 28, 1993, the front page story for the Dallas Morning News said that Waco KWTX cameraman Jim Peeler had told the AP that he had had a February 28, 1993 conversation with a man (David Jones) in a private car bearing U.S. Postal Service signs just before the raid and had asked for directions to the Davidian complex.[[81]] Jones had apparently stopped at a convenience store where he met a journalist invited to cover the raid.[[82]] According to Dick DeGuerin, Koresh told him the claim that the Davidians had gotten a phone tip was merely a ruse to separate Koresh from an ATF undercover agent. David Jones said that he was told to "get out of here" because "they're going to have a big shoot out with the religious nuts."[[83]] Jones received distinctions for markmanship in the U.S. Air Force and was "the top gun."[[84]] When Jones returned with news of the impending raid, Koresh was talking to Robert Gonzales, the informant. Koresh told Gonzales: "well, I guess its decision time for you, Robert." Gonzales immediately fled the church, got in his car and sounded an alarm which informed the ATF that he was clear of the church.[[85]] The media had been waiting for three hours before the raid--from 7:00 a.m. that morning.[[86]] On Sunday, February 28, 1993, at 8:30 a.m. over 100 agents of the ATF stormed Mount Carmel.[[87]] The ATF arrived at 9:55 a.m.[[88]] They arrived in cattle trucks dressed in Nazi-style kevlar helmets, black fatingues and jack boots. When they jumped off the trucks "screaming like Ramo" they started firing at the door. Koresh came to the door and started waving and shouting "stop it! stop it!, there are women and children in here."[[89]] According to the ATF, Koresh greeted them at the door clad in black and bearing a rifle: "Neither ATF or the National Guard will ever get me. They got me once, and they will never get me again. They are coming; the time has come."[[90]] On a CNN interview Koresh claimed the ATF shot first. Witnesses said the ATF stormed the building, throwing concussion grenades and shouted: "Come Out!" National Guard helicopters circled overhead. Two helicopters and a news van were hit.[[91]] Two helicopters were hit by the Davidians during the initial assault. One bulletin pierced the cabin and whizzed by the head of Phllip J. Chojnacki who was the man responsible for the operation.[[92]] Davdian David Thibodeau said that gunfire came through the roof and one Koreshian died in his bed while holding a piece of French toast.[[93]] Ted Royster, head of the Dallas office of the ATF, said it appeared "as though they were waiting for us."[[94]] In the continuing hail of bullets, Koresh was wounded in his left shoulder. Perry Jones, Koresh's 72-year-old father-in-law, was mortally wounded in the hall. Jones was once called "the kindest man and a perfect gentleman."[[95]] What was planned to be a 2-minute operation instead lasted 45 minutes. Four ATF agents were killed and 16 wounded.[[96]] All four of the ATF casulaties and at least nine of the reported injuries were the result of accidental discharges, detonations and incidental friendly crossfire that principally came from three armed Texas National Guard helicopters.[[97]] Six men participated in the assault on the Davidian armory. Three lived to tell about it. Bill Buford, a special ATF agent from Little Rock, Arkansas, had been a Green Beret in Vietnam during the 1960s. He participated in the 1985 standoof with the heavily armed group called The Covenant. His Little Rock colleague, Robert J. "Robb" Williams, 26, was on the armory assault team along with New Orleans office agents Conway LeBieu, 30, and Todd McKeehan, 28. A dozen other members of the New Orleans office supported them on the race for the side of the building. The smallest team involved in the raid took the most casualties.[[98]] The ATF agents scaled a ladder to the roof, broke through a window and entered the church building. The original tape, confiscated by the government (the media was given an edited version), showed the ATF agents hurling concussion hand grenades through the window. Since the women and children had been sent to the bedrooms, the hand grenades went off upstairs where the women and children were staying. The Davidians took up arms, captured four agents and killed 2 (the other agents were killed outside. One Davidian entered the room where the ATF agents had entered and a point-blank firefight ensued. One ATF agent was killed and another mortally wounded. Fire from the wounded agent's 9 mm automatic missed the confronting Davidian and after exiting an exterior wall hit an ATF agent on the roof. Some Davidians vaulted into the living room and began firing into the roof.[[99]] Ted Koppel, on ABC Nightline, played exerpts from a tape made on February 28, 1993 of a conversation between Koresh lawyer Wayne Martin and McLennan County Deputy Sheriff Robert Lynch. Lynch told Martin to stop the Davidians from firing on the AFT agents. "Oh God! The helicopter's coming in for another pass!" said martin.The sound of automatic gunfire could then be heard. "Stop shooting! Stop shooting! Stop Shooting! Lynch screamed into the 911 line. "it's not us; it's them! screamed Martin back. "I can't believe this is happening!" Lynch said.[[100]] Martin, a Harvard-educated Black attorney, was put in touch with Earl Dunagan, the regional director of the ATF. A ceasefire was arrange. The Davidians released the four captured agents and allowed them to remove the Davidian dead and wounded. Gent died of bleeding after the ATF refused to allow the Davidians to retrieve him from the water tank.[[101]] Peter Gent was shot by a marksman after Koresh sent him up to the tower as a pay- back to Bruce and Lisa for defying him.[[102]] Peter Gent was probably killed, according to the official version, by one of the agents in the house across the road--perhaps by Rodriquez. He was shot in a good, clean kill and knocked off the tower. He fell three stories but was dead before he came to rest with his body tangled in a tree.[[103]] The gunfire continued uninterrupted for 45 minutes. For another 80 minutes there was sporadic gunfire.[[104]] Several Branch Davidians were killed--including a two year old child.[[105]] The Davidians killed included Peter Ghet (24), Peter Jones, Mike Schroeder, Winston Blake and two others.[[106]] Four elderly Davidians were killed in their beds by indiscriminate helicopter fire.[[107]] During the afternoon of February 28th, Peter Ghent from Australia was killed by ATF snipers as he attempted to exit the Davidian water tower which he had been cleaning.[[108]] "He climbed to the top of the tank and peered over when he was struck in the head and neck by government gunfire. Falling inside, he lay there terribly wounded."[[109]] The ATF claimed "we were outgunned." This claim was made despite helicopter gunships, armored vehicles and fully automatic weapons.[[110]] According to SFT Intelligence Chief DavidTroy, the entire raid was videotaped but the tapes were being withheld due to "the continuing homicide ingestigation." U.S.District Judge Walter S. Smith Jr. ordered the FBI to preserve all of the government's audio and video tapes of the February 28th raid.[[111]] Koresh told radio stations that he had been hit in "the gut" and that his two year old daughter was killed.[[112]] In his live interview with KLRD-Radio, Koresh claimed that his two-year-old daughter had been killed: "The dead baby story was never confirmed."[[113]] The seige began with the Davidians surrounded by four Abrams M-1 main battle tanks.[[114]] It was only after Koresh bragged about having anti-tank guns that the authorities brought in the virtually indestructible M-1 Abrams.[[115]] Around 6:00 p.m. February 28, 1993, additional gunfire occurred when ATF snipers fired at three Davidians attempted to cross a field from a site they had been working at on the morning of the raid. Norman Allyson and Bob Kendricks fell to the ground and were picked up by armoured vehicles. Michael Schroeder, who was unarmed, the third man, was hit in the back and died on the fence. His body was removed on March 3 with the assistance of a Bradley-type APC.[[116]] In the second skirmish, Michael Schroeder, 29, was killed. Del Roy Nash was slightly injured and then arrested. Woodrow Kendrick denied that he ever saw any ATF officers and said he certainly never fired upon them.[[117]] Linda Thompson, attorney for Ken Schroeder, said the results of the autopsy showed seven bullet wounds in the back and a leg chewed on by an animal. Michael had been trying to return to be with his wife and family.[[118]] The Waco Tribune decided to fill the entire Monday issue after the bloody Sunday with the remaining installments of its seven-part series.[[119]] Shortly after the original raid, two ATF agents came forward on TV in New York (their faces were not shown) and said they were afraid of a coverup.[[120]] Once the seige began there was an international angle. A bunch of hillbillys from around the world, in Texas, were shooting at the U.S. government.[[121]] The government press conferences in Waco were rigged events with three agendas: 1) to control the media, 2) to control public perceptions of David Koresh and 3) to further inflame the already beleaguered cult leader.[[122]] The rules of the press briefings were rigged so that the FBI always won: "No shouting. Raise your hand. And more important, each newsman getting the FBI nod was strictly limited to one question and a follow-up--but only if he announced his intention of asking the second one at the start of the first. (NP) And he never got another question, not the next day or the day after, if he asked one question the FBI or the ATF didn't much like."[[123]] "The format and punitive attitude prevented any deep probing."[[124]] The FBI consulted with its cadre of "priests/psychologists from the Freudian Cult" while the FBI's "High Priesthood's altar boys" spoke of Koresh in harsh and even libelous terms.[[125]] Despite all the disputes regarding Koresh's promises, the FBI took him "completely at his word and absolutely on his honor on one subject: Suicide."[[126]] After the February 28th raid, CAN officials were omnipresent at establishment daily press briefings in Waco.[[127]] On March 2, 1993, Rick Ross, told reporters that when the FBI approached Koresh he was going to go outside with grenades and commit suicide--taking as many ATF agents with him as he could.[[128]] Rick Ross is based in Phionex.[[129]] Ross around February 16, 1993 urged Sue Johnson to hire him to deprogram Steve Schneider and said that something was about to happen real soon.[[130]] C.A.N. Director Cynthia Kisser has called for a much larger role for C.A.N. in dealing with cults in the future.[[131]] In March 1993, Kiri revealed on the Donahue show that Koresh had instructed the children on the best ways to commit suicide.[[132]] 1.
