Waco Anniversary: My Waco Riff from Maryland Libertarian Party Convention Speech

28 years ago today, the FBI launched a tank and toxic gas assault on the Branch Davidians that ended with 80 dead civilians.

I spoke Saturday night to the Maryland Libertarian Party convention. Here is my riff from that speech on how Biden slapped a halo on the ATF and FBI after the Waco debacle and his nomination of David Chipman to head ATF.

Here’s my recent article from American Conservative on Waco, Biden, and David Chipman.

Here’s a piece I did for The Hill on the bitter lessons from the 25th anniv. of Waco.

Here’s a link to some Wall Street Journal articles I wrote on Waco in 1995.

    Actually, it was the BATF that launched the false flag attack, based on a falsified affidavit in support of the warrant. Then, since the BATF is the lowest rung on the pseudo LE ladder, they called in the feebs to save their ass, just as they did with OKC, and WTC93!

      They did it to “justify” a budget increase…. They wanted a high profile show.
      WACO was a BURNT OFFERING of Christians to Hillary’s OWNERS.
      Perhaps the worst thing was the MOTIVE to burn to death all the babies, their mothers, fathers and everybody and BURN into nothingness EVERYTHING. The Branch Davidians had discovered that the Bush/Clinton Drug Running operation was using the abandoned WWII runway next to their property to bring drugs into the country. Because the Branch Davidians used the phone NSA knew the Branch Davidians knew. Because NSA knew the Bush/Clinton Crime Families knew. https://www.counterpunch.or… that site now gone
      So America has piously sworn to punish those who use chemical weapons, but Hillary is praised by Trump instead of “Lock Her UP!”
      A reminder — Hillary “We came, We saw, HE DIED ….. LOL” Clinton
      Illegal gas was used to incapacitate 76 American Citizens who were then burned alive because they DARED to defy the Clintons for 90 days …….

      Monday, January 27, 2014 Hillary Ordered The Final Massacre At Waco By Robert Morrow
      Hillary, not Bill, not Janet Reno, not Webb Hubbell, not Vince Foster was the one who ordered the final assault. Final death count: 76 Branch Davidians, including 21 children and two pregnant women. The nature of the attack in Waco also indicates that a Christian minority in the compound was targeted solely for religious reasons.

    Wow, I’m impressed, you wrote an article on the 25th anniversary of the murderous fedgov slaughter at Waco, and you wrote WSJ articles about it in 1995…..For a FAGGOT, you truly are a most lethal and terrifying warrior-poet.

      This comment reminds me of Voltaire’s only prayer to the Lord….

    DMV Gringo:
    I’ve read you around, WWSA, a few others. JHC, lighten up, Francis. Shit-for-brains like you are one of the primary reasons the Right cannot organize. Exaggerated ego, limited knowledge of how the world works, inflexibility of intellect, WTF…..You want to help the cause? Go over to the Left because you kind of ‘influence’ (using the term widely) just fucks things up.
    What a fuck head…and I’m more partial to literacy, but sometimes the colloquial expressions fit best.

    Also Oklahoma anniversary:
    The Feds/FBI did a criminally irresponsible job of investigating the Oklahoma Bomb and Sanilac county, with the Militia Culture permeating it. There were TWO militias up there. (1) The CITIZENS Militia, with 85 year old Hattie Farley, which OPPOSED the Sheriff and the “Good Old Boys” and (2) The violence prone, RACIST, PRO-sheriff “element”.
    Sanilac county Sheriff Virgil Strickler was BFF and business partner with David Rydel, “commandant” of the “united States Theatre Command” militia which is named in the FBI “Project Megiddo” report for Y2K. Strickler let the Rydel militia use the department’s shooting range. LOUD explosions on the Nichols farm were repeatedly reported to Strickler, So what do you know! when the Feds raided the farm the evidence was cleaned up. James Nichols stated in his speech at the Dearborn Centennial Library that the FIRST person he wanted to talk to was Strickler, which he did BEFORE talking to the FEDS. James was welcomed home as a HERO when he was released from Federal custody. All described in Nichols’ book “Freedom’s End”
    The “support network” for the bomb extended to the very top of Sanilac County. Worth Township in Sanilac county, had a Supervisor, James Payne, who flew Confederate flags on his property for decades. He drove around with a Confederate license plate, and had a Black Lawn Jockey holding a Confederate flag standing right at his door. Sheriff Strickler and Judge Donald Teeple regularly passed that lawn jockey and saw the flags as they entered Payne’s home to socialize. Payne bragged about “using” his Public Office to direct the State Police Weighmaster to harass Minority truckers coming through Worth township, and how he did not want “dirty niggers” in His township. This got recorded and all came out in a township meeting. Eric Levine, owner/editor of “The Sanilac County News” never once printed a negative word about the Racism and Confederate flags, rendering support via his silence. Levine never printed a word about Janice Putz, the Township Clerk, and Payne’s successor in office, publicly defending Payne’s racism in a township meeting. Levine also “ignored” a letter that was mailed to EVERY Worth township resident exposing Payne’s racism . …. NOT ONE WORD. Eric Levine supports racism by failing to expose it even when it is major news in his reporting area. Nothing printed beyond the “obligatory” columns denouncing the bombers.

    Re: The Feds/FBI did a criminally irresponsible job of investigating the Oklahoma Bomb
    The feebs did no investigation. Mcvaighs girlsfriend was an fbi ci. Nichols was roped in by an atf uc mope. ATF ordered Nichols to buy 4000lbs of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, and gave him the $$ to do so. He did, but fertilizer can’t be used in anfo. That was the 4000lbs seized from Nichols garage. So the ATF delivered Nichols 4000lbs of anfo grade ammonium nitrate. ATF had a tracker on Nichols van, but the final product would not fit in a van, so McVeigh rented a truck, and as with WTC 93, ATF lost the load. The rest is history. The Dallas fbi sac knew about the atf operation and wanted nothing to do with it. That’s why Dallas fbi didn’t respond to okc until AFTER all the other federal agencies called him, and belittled him into doing his job.
