Body Balance.

Allegations (an important word) against Mr. Koresh were sensationalized to excuse the massacre of at least 86 members of his religious congregation. These peoples' closest neighbors, farming families, never feared them or considered them troublesome.

Many persons seem to believe that these religious persons were behaving illegally. Precisely what laws were these men, women and children violating? Do you really understand how important both probable cause and due process are to us all?

The killing was deliberate and savage. The murder scene was bulldozed before any evidence could be examined. I recently read an article run by the national press referring to "the botched Waco raid." One thing is certain: the Waco raid was far from "botched." The word "raid" made me think back to my college days of the "panty raids" held by idiotic pampered young fraternity men on campus.

The Waco raid was waged by firing guns from helicopters directly into the home and headquarters of a religious congregation. A lethally toxic gas was used on these men, women and children. Armored tanks were accompanied by BATF assault troops with automatic weapons. U.S. Government agents arrived equipped with weapons to kill, which they used. It is as simple as that.

The following is a partial list of those murdered on April 19, 1993 by employees of the government of the United States of America and financed by taxpayers:

Stan Sylvia (a sect member) pretty well summed it up. He said, "Let's examine what really happened here...Whatever you think of us, it doesn't give anybody a right to come and and kill helpless women and children."

It is preposterous that so many people in the United States are quick to want to believe that "they had it coming to them" or to believe the murderers' stories that this group killed their children and themselves.

It now looks as if no one will ever be held accountable. In fact, surviving defenders and victims are being prosecuted, at law, by the government.

The murders at Waco were not the action of one or more disaffected individuals. They were carried out by "the authorities", sanctioned at the highest levels of government, and financed by U.S. taxpayers.

WACO MUST BE REMEMBERED until major changes occur.

You can get the picture of what really happened — unless you have an emotional patriotic need to believe the lies of an increasingly out-of-control criminal government:
