Arise, arise, the BATF are coming.
The program was divided up into two major sections.
First the dedication of the new building. They'd break at
noon, to honor their fallen comrades at the exact time of
day the inferno was raged thru Mt Carmel, and finish up with
their invited guest speakers. The audience included people
of all ages, seniors, middle-aged people and a smattering of
children. Many cell phones were in evidence. Teenagers had
cell phones. Regular folks. Regular families.
The Dedication. The program was started with music played by
the songwriter, accompanied by Davidian Survivor/author
David Thibideu on the drums: "What we all need. We need
love". Later in the program, musician C J Harper sang a song
to Sheila Martin, who lost her Harvard educated husband and
4 children in the blaze. By the time CJ got thru singing
"Even Now" there wasn't a dry eye in the bldg. My personal
favorite, "Where are the Children" is a folk song written
for an acoustical guitar on 4/23/93, which would do Woodie
Guthrie proud. Music, which was a big part of the church
before the fire was a new side of the Davidians for me to
witness. Perhaps this is a sign of the Davidians recovery.
The presence of several people, especially media types,
including Dallas Morning News' Lee Hancock, were recognized
for their good works in their chosen profession. This
portion of the service ended when the key was turned over to
Clive Doyle, their current leader.
Alex Jones introduced the first guest speaker, George
Pulliam, who designed the church. Alex spearheaded the
fund drive raising $93,626.43 in 7 weeks time recd from 43
states and 2 countries, Canada and Australia. Their slogan
was "You burn it. We build it." And build it they did, on
the subsequent 32 Sundays. That might not compete with
parting the Red Sea, but in this day and age, I suspect it
qualifies as another of God's miracles.
At that point, most of the mass media fled the building,
so they didn't hear the Liberty Bell chime 86 times, for
those who died on Feb 29 & April 19. After each gong, Mr
Doyle would give the age and place of birth of the departed.
And like in 1998, the honor was extended to include their 4
BATF attackers who lost their lives that day. At one point,
when Mr Doyle was reading the names of family members that
perished, he had to stop. Two women, obviously Davidians,
rushed to each side, and supported him in silent prayer,
while the audience, no, by this time, we had become the
congregation, patiently waited in sympathy.
Missing from the ceremony was Sarah Baines, whom I heard
speak in 1998. Mrs Baines, the jury forelady at the Davidian
Trial, was there to tell us the Judge Smith, the same con
man currently running the secret FLIR tests at Mt Hood,
corrupted the jury's decision. Basically, the accused
Davidians were all charged with murder, conspiracy to commit
murder, and using a deadly weapon in a violent crime. The
Jury found all the Davidians not guilty by reason of self
defense, but did find them guilty of possessing weapons. The
defense lawyers argued, that since they were found not
guilty on the first 2 charges, they couldn't be found guilty
of using a gun in the commission of a crime, BECAUSE THERE
WAS NO CRIME---and the judge agreed---briefly. Instead
of calling the jury back for clarification, the trial was
retired in expectation of a complete acquittal, but when
they reconvened, the govt lawyers changed Smith's mind, and
he sentenced them to the maximum, and then added more. In
all, he sentenced 7 victims who were found to have used
weapons in self defense in his court room, 40 years each,
while the perps from whom they were defending themselves
went Scot-free, and are free to this day. One of the
victims, Fagan Livingstone, Mr Doyle told us, has been in
fedl solitary for nearly all of these 7 yrs because he
steadfastly refuses to sign a paper allowing the govt to
deduct fines, restitution, and room & board from his prison
wages (because he feels, in so doing, he would be admitting
guilt). What was that Sir Thomas Moore quote in A Man For
All Seasons, he protests too much?
Part 2. USAF General Benton Barker was another high profile
speaker. Like many of us, he saw a pattern between the many
govt conspiracies the media chides us for holding. He
claimed his evidence showed that TWA 800 was shot down by a
special missile that terminated the plane in flight, cutting
the nose of the plane from the rest of the body. His
evidence also showed that the explosion by the Hertz
fertilizer truck could not have inflicted the damage the
Murrah building sustained. And, he also said that the Mt
Carmel church vault was blown apart by detonating an
explosive set on top of the fortified room. He could tell by
inspecting the rebar. (That's the steel rods that reinforce
contained in much concrete.) Had the explosion occurred
above the tomb, it would have cracked the concrete roof and
rebar, but because the rebar was intact, it indicated the
explosive, most likely a plastic explosive, was setting ON
the roof, sending shock waves thru the concrete, turning it
to powder, leaving the rebar intact. The general was much
more specific than I can remember.
He was followed by David Hardy and Ramsey Clark, taking
up the rear. (Who in his right mind would want to follow
Ramsey Clark on stage?) Hardy came prepared with an FBI tape
obtained thru the FOIA, disproving the govt cover story
that they were ambushed. On the tape you could hear Wayne
Martin and David Koresh (who was remarkably calm) calling
for a cease fire from the get go. Hardly the words you'd
expect from conspirators who just laid an ambush for a 100
man raiding party. "There's women and children in here,'
they pleaded in vain. The BATF did not pull back until they
ran out of ammunition. There was more, much more, but
really, you had to be there to know what I have come to
learn. Mark your calendar now. Circle April 19, 2001, and
write "attend 8th at Waco." It's a Thursday.
It was 3:30 in the afternoon, when we left the church.
(By the way, it is the only church I've ever attended that
didn't pass the hat.) Many of the media trucks who's people
left with their cameras hours earlier, were still in the VIP
parking lot. Some had attune stuck on 50 foot poles. Some
taller. Others had giant saucer-type dishes atop them.
Channel 4 out of San Antonio; Texas Cable News Network;
KCEV-TV; KVUE news, channel 6; KXAN channel 36; and Channel
10, News Live, were all sitting idle.
Thought for the day: The building was burned with military
precision. Was it a signal fire for God's Army we saw?
