As we know, David Koresh had a Seventh-day Adventist Church in Waco, Texas until the FBI moved in on him. Why? They say it was because of reports of perverted sex, child abuse, and brain washing. The accusations started with Marc Breault (eyewitness) who said he saw a child leaving Koresh’s bedroom. Reports indicate that Breault is legally blind.

All of this is not true. The government has yet to prove any of Breault’s testimony. County Sheriff Jack Harwell investigated Koresh not once, but twice for child abuse and other accusations, and found nothing wrong.

In an interview, Harwell said, "I told those people (FBI) he (Koresh) does not have to answer to them." US Attorney General Janet Reno still sent in the FBI, armed with mp5 submachine guns, cuncussion grenades containing CS (tear gas), and flame throwing tanks. When CS is burnt, it reverts to cyanide gas. Tear gas was outlawed in warfare. A study proved that it is lethal in 50 percent of healthy adults . Can you imagine what it could do to children?

I feel it was an irresponsible act to use chemical warfare on people without first researching its proper use and the risks. The FBI was supposedly trying to flush Koresh out to protect the children. The first thing they did upon arrival was to fly over the compound, firing on the structure with 308 machine guns, aimed right for the nursery, killing 21 children. David called 911. He said, "No, no, no, no, no…let me tell you something…. You see you brought your bunch of guys out here and killed some of my children. We told you we wanted to talk."

The FBI didn’t listen. Koresh had no choice but to fight and Texas law was on his side. Texas penal code, Subchapter C, Article 9.31, self-defense: The use of force to resist an arrest or search is justified; if, before the actor offers any resistance, the peace officer used, or attempts to use, greater force than necessary to make the arrest or search, and; (2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the peace officer’s use of or attempted use of greater force than necessary."

After the massacre, the FBI quickly moved in to cover their tracks only there was too much for them to hide. The news media already had it filmed live.

I watched the film for about two hours. It was horrible. In a way, it reminded me of the Holocaust to which a mother, standing outside the nursery, and her child were shot down and how the FBI set the church on fire and burnt people alive.

How can our government get away with this? There were few that did survive. Dr. Bruce Perry MD, Ph.D., a research professor of child psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine and Chief of Psychiatry at Texas Children's Hospital, talked with a few children that survived. He asked them to draw pictures. One child drew a rainbow. Dr. Perry asked, "Is there anything else?" The child made dots. Dr. Perry asked, "What’s that?" The child said, "Bullets."

Let’s never forget the Holocaust and how the German government turned on their own people, and let’s never forget Waco and how the US Government attacked a church and burned men, women, and children alive.
