Waco: The Big Lie
Linda Thompson
Using outakes of satellite footage shot by a local news station, director Linda Thompson paints a chilling portrait of the ATF and
FBI's military assault on the Branch Davidian's compound in Waco. Thompson
argues convincingly that the ATF's initial assault on Mt. Carmel was
legally grounded on nothing more than a $200 weapons surchage that Koresh
had failed to pay. With proof of that in their back pocket, the ATF called
out U.S. Army gunships, and attacked the compound with dozens of stoked,
reckless agents employing massive gunpower. The footage on this video
demonstrates that the Branch Davidians did not meet the ATF with "a hail of
gunfire." You'll see unthreatened ATF agents riddling the front of the
compound with gunfire, fully aware that inside were dozens of women and
children. The ATF had plenty of time to shoot not only the house; they
fired on themselves, other agents, children playing outside, long before a
Branch Davidian fired a single shot in self defense. The video also details
the FBI's effective bamboozlement of a compliant press, but the most
controversial part of the tape comes at the end, when Thompson provides
footage allegedly showing government tanks with flamethrowers that she
contends set the fire that killed all 89 people inside. You may (and
should) question some of what this video contends, but it does contain
actual footage of a government attacking its own citizens. Not that that
hasn't happened before. But now it's on videotape.
