The Senate held two days of such hearings in the fall. >The hearings did reveal over-aggressiveness and duplicity by agents and >officials of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) and the >Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). However, Congress' final >conclusion followed the party line--the Davidians ambushed BATF and >committed mass suicide. Questions of crimes by these agents were rarely >raised and evidence of such, when alleged or chanced upon, discounted. > Nevertheless, citizens continue to produce new books and films >cataloguing compelling evidence that hyped-up BATF agents shot first as >David Koresh opened the front door, even as other agents shot from >helicopters, killing four Davidians. BATF left ample bullet hole >evidence in the walls and roofs of the building of this indiscriminate >and illegal gunfire. The Davidians repeatedly told negotiators that when >this evidence was discovered Davidians would be freed and federal agents >would be prosecuted. Fearing they were right, and angry at the deaths of >four BATF agents, FBI Hostage Rescue Team agents deliberately destroyed >evidence of BATF gunfire outside the building. And they repeatedly >sabotaged negotiations and pushed for a gas and tank attack that >could--and ultimately did--destroy the building and its incriminating >evidence. > Many Americans believe the U.S. Congress cares more about protecting >these federal agents from prosecution than about protecting the American >people from such agents. If Congress is to reassure the American people >this is not true, it must re-open hearings on Waco to answer the >questions below and/or call for a special prosecutor. >For action call or fax: >House Judiciary Committee 202/225-3951 fax-225-7682 >Senate Judiciary Committee 202/224-5225 fax-224-9102 > > QUESTIONS ABOUT FEBRUARY 28, 1997 >1. House investigators determined that "someone" at BATF lied to the >military about the Davidians being involved with drugs in order to get >U.S. Army Special Forces and other military aid. Instead of pulling out >the stops to discover who lied, investigators only whined about the fact >that military staff at Fort Bragg were not made available to them or had >been pre-interviewed. > >2. One of the chief raid planners was William Buford, Special Agent in >Charge of Little Rock BATF and a personal acquaintance of President Bill >Clinton. The day after the February 28 raid, then-Deputy Treasury >Secretary Roger Altman visited the injured Buford in a Texas hospital. >Congress never asked about this visit or whether Clinton or his staff had >any foreknowledge of the raid. > >3. During the House hearings it was revealed that imprisoned Davidian >Brad Branch, who was standing behind the unarmed David Koresh at the >front door, claims he saw an agent shoot a dog as other agents rushed the >door. He claims one approaching agent panicked and started shooting at >Koresh, wounding him and mortally wounding his father- in-law. Why did >congressional investigators merely whine in their report that the >Treasury Department did not let it interview agents before the hearings? >Why not grill them now? > >4. Why doesn't Congress methodologically investigate the copious >forensic and eyewitness evidence that BATF agents in the Blackhawk >helicopter shot at Davidians? Instead it quiescently accepts the denials >of two BATF agents and 3 National Guard helicopter pilots--who themselves >may have shot or covered up others' shooting. Such evidence includes: >BATF discussions of using helicopter gunfire as a diversion; an agent in >the helicopter admitting agents were armed and permitted to fire in >self-defense; the government's allegations Davidians fired at >helicopters, which might have triggered such a "self-defense" response, >even before such gunfire began; BATF video from inside the helicopter >showing the closeness of the approach to the building and containing >sounds of close-up gunfire; television video showing bullets entering the >roof from an almost perpendicular angle; two Davidians' complaints to 911 >officers during the raid about such firing; thirteen Davidian survivors' >testimony about it; Davidian attorneys and a prosecution witness' >testimony about bullet hole evidence in the highest roof; autopsy >evidence indicating four Davidians probably were killed from gunfire from >above. > >5. Why didn't Congress do a systematic investigation of the "second >shooting" of Davidian Michael Schroeder as he approached Mount Carmel >several hours after the raid? There is evidence that BATF agents, angry >at BATF agents' deaths, gave scant warning as they opened fire on >Schroeder, who died of three wounds to the back and two to the head. >Troubling evidence like shooting heard after the incident and Schroeder's >missing cap suggests that agents then approached and "finished off" the >wounded man with shots to the head. The FBI would not allow Texas >Rangers to investigate the area for ten days after the shooting, making >it impossible to check for footprints. > >QUESTIONS ABOUT SABOTAGE OF NEGOTIATIONS >6. Why didn't Congress grill prosecutors and federal agents about the >moving and destruction of automobiles, trucks and a trailer during the >siege? Why hasn't Congress asked FBI siege commander Jeff Jamar and chief >negotiator Byron Sage--as well as Hostage Rescue Team commander Richard >Rogers--about their reactions to the Davidians' allegations that bullet >hole evidence in the building would lead to Davidian acquittals and >convictions of agents? These questions must be asked in light of Jamar >and Sage's conflicting or dubious explanations to Congress about why they >withheld from their superiors and Attorney General Janet Reno important >information which would have scuttled the gas and tank attack that they >supported. > >7. During the Senate hearings FBI Waco negotiator Cliff Van Zandt >confirmed an allegation by a Davidian hearing witness: every time >Davidians cooperated with the FBI by releasing people, the Hostage Rescue >Team would punish them with acts like destruction of property, turning >off electricity, or escalated harassment. Why hasn't Congress grilled >Hostage Rescue Team commander Richard Rogers and all Hostage Rescue Team >members about this phenomena? > >QUESTIONS ABOUT APRIL 19, 1993 >8. While FBI agents claim Davidians threw their phone out the window on >April 19, Davidians deny this, asserting a tank cut the phone wire before >the gas attack began. This made it impossible for Davidians to negotiate >a safe surrender. The same agents claim Davidians immediately fired on >the tanks, which Davidians also deny. This gunfire allegation gave the >FBI the excuse to speed up the gas attack and quickly proceed to the >demolition of the building--and an excuse not to fix the phones. Such >actions and lies by the agents ensured the building would be destroyed. >They also ensured Davidians would be terrified of exiting and being shot, >even as they hung a banner asking that their phones be fixed. Why >doesn't Congress take every FBI agent at the scene aside and grill each >about the events of that day? > >9. During the House hearing Representative Howard Coble complained that >the U.S. Army had not yet provided to the Committee any evidence of >alleged damage to army tanks from Davidian gunfire on April 19. One >staffer told me they did finally receive that material from the army. >However, if so, it was not included in the transcripts, as requested by >Mr. Coble. Is the House investigating committee hiding evidence that >there was no Davidian gunfire? > >10. Before Attorney General Janet Reno left the FBI Operations Center in >Washington on April 19, around 11:00 a.m., she had a telephone >conversation with Bill Clinton, one she mentioned during the 1993 House >hearings. Incredibly, in neither these nor 1995 hearings did >representatives question her about the content of this conversation. >Reno left soon after and put then-Associate Attorney General Webster >Hubbell in charge. Representatives did not ask her questions about what >communication she had with Hubbell in the next two hours that passed >before the fire. Nor have they asked if wealthy Waco businessman Bernard >Rappaport--who paid Hubbell $18,000 after he resigned in disgrace from >the Justice Department--might have had any input into Justice Department >or White House decisions on Waco. Nor have they asked Lisa Foster why >one reason she believed her husband, White House counsel Vince Foster, >killed himself was he felt guilty about "Waco." > >11. Will Congress finally dispute the FBI and Justice Department claims >that nearly two dozen Davidians were on the first floor but refused to >leave the building? Davidians claim these men and women were trapped on >the second floor because the tanks destroyed the stairwells. > >12. Former U.S. Army and BATF fire investigator Richard Sherrow >testified at the hearings. He later signed an affidavit for the >Davidian civil suits stating that there is a strong probability that an >FBI tank started at least one fire on the second floor that, fed by >strong winds through long hallways, quickly spread to the rest of the >building. He notes suggestive evidence that FBI agents shot an >incendiary "flash bang" into the gymnasium after the first fire started. >Will Congress finally take this evidence seriously--even it means the >U.S. government may lose 1.5 billion dollars in lawsuits? > >13. Why did several FBI tanks continue ploughing burning, bullet-pocked >walls and other evidence into the fire for at least ten minutes towards >the end of the fire, as seen on television videos? (During the hearings >one FBI tank driver volunteered a dubious answer, a possible attempt to >pre-empt such a question.) > >14. The controversial new film "Waco: The Rules of Engagement" provides >evidence relevant to most of the questions above.

Will Congress take these allegations >seriously enough to grill FBI agents about this? > >QUESTIONS ABOUT PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT IN BRANCH DAVIDIAN TRIAL >15. Confidential memoranda and handwritten notes revealed during the >1995 House Waco hearings exposed the fact that the Treasury Department, >under pressure from the Justice Department and Webster Hubbell, halted >its post-February 28 raid shooting review because agents' stories "did >not add up." In fact, interviewers were generating "exculpatory" material >that could help the Davidian defendants at trial. Hubbell promised to >produce his "Waco files" to Congress, but did not do so.

Since March of >1993, I have experienced life on a number of jail cells across >the State of Texas. As a continuation of the injustice practiced >against us, we were also made to endure this governments shameful >attempt to hide its atrocities through the judicial process. For >seven weeks, we were dragged through the courts, shackled hands >and feet. By courtesy of the electronic media, we were paraded >before the world, humiliated, demonized and lied about. Although >judged and convicted, I remain unconvinced of any guilt. In my >soul I am continually reminded of my innocence, and the innocence >of my family and friends who were there with me. We have become >part of the continuing story of justice undone. Since the dawn >of time, the endurance by the just of the injustice of the >unjust. Another case for the statute books, showing the frailty >of the judgments of men separated from a knowledge of God. > In his humanity, mankind beholds the evils he perpetuates. >Through his conscience he is reminded of its evilness. But his >heart fails him of the will and power to do good. Justice is >left undone. In his fearfulness of pending judgment he hides his >guilt. But he remains insecure in his hiding places. > With each passing day I am reminded how transient our >experience here really is. The onset of age, the sights of death >etches in the chambers of the mind, how little control we hold >over the body and its life. In our exasperation we seek solace >in engulfing ourselves in what we call living. Getting on with >life, for time is too short to think about it. But we are not >comforted. For after the body has received its fill, the soul >cries out for satisfaction. The utterances of the past, that >once satisfied, are now worn out empty phrases. Like vomit >offered before us. We have grown! Experience has pushed us >beyond that which we were. We have become, and require new >forms, material and abstract, capturing and expressing that which >we now are. Comforting us in our birth pains and inspiring us in >our newly emerging hopes and dreams. > My desire and will to pursue what was once of interest, has >been steadily sucked from me. I now live and breathe the truth >of the Seven Seals and the future it envisions. A future >according to the will of God. We have seen it, tasted it, now >nothing else will do. The plans of the UN government are >unworkable. The scars we bear from the shortcomings of the >family, local and national governmental institutions, remain as >witnesses to the fact, that mankind cannot govern himself. To >seek to collectively govern billions of people can only end in >disaster. Evidently, the lessons of history along with present >observations, continue to be ignored. Right was the testimony of >the prophet Jeremiah; > The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately >wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9) > Further; > O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It >is not in man that walketh to direct his step. (Jeremiah 10:23) > This present external reality in all its forms, material and >abstract, is but an irritating distraction from the truth of my >soul. My interaction with this reality has become one of >necessity, and a want not to offend. At best it has become >burdensome. I contend with God daily, to bring this nightmare >humans call living to its conclusion. My contention reaches to >the point of bartering my souls salvation. I find myself at a >place in my spiritual journey, where losing my soul and ceasing >to exist, offers itself as a more preferable alternative than to >remain in the body, albeit with the knowledge of God. I hate the >flesh with a passion. In this state of mind, it is a constant >source of irritation having to interact with minds still confined >to thoughts arising out of the fleshly concerns. It calls forth >much patience to endure. In my present circumstances I am left >little choice. > My situation intensifies as my mind expands, deepening its >grasp of the knowledge of God and His Christ. I am powerless to >stop this process, designed to restore the soul after the divine >order. On the one hand I love it passionately, on the other I >hate it with a vengeance. My being present in the flesh, is the >source of this hatred. It arises from the pain experienced by >the mind of the flesh, as it is pressed out of existence, being >replaced by the mind of the Spirit. Conversely, my love for it >arises out of the greater good envisioned in the mind of the >Spirit. One vision of reality with its hopes and dreams, being >replaced by another far greater. It is not always easy to give >up that which one has dedicated so much energy and effort to, let >alone ones entire perception of reality. Nevertheless, from time >to time such requirements do occur. The love of wisdom and >understanding, leaves one little choice, but to adjust ones >perceptions. > I know of a certainty, that I am a recipient of Gods saving >work for this generation. The knowledge and spirit of the Seven >Seals attest to this fact. Consequently, I take pleasure in the >knowledge He is acting on my behalf for my ultimate advantage, in >spite of the cost to myself. I am further comforted by my being >able to communicate something of the truths I speak, albeit >limited. Thus far, experience has taught me, the limitations of >contemporary thought perceptions, and the near absence of genuine >faith in this late twentieth century. As a matter of fact, it >has been quite a challenge, finding minds that can intelligently >consider the issues our faith raises for the present religious >consciousness. Granted, many have been moved by its >demonstration and effect, in bringing to light significant issues >relative to church and civil government. > In writing this book, it has been challenging to find >suitable language, in which to house the spirit of Mt. Carmel. >Its effective communication, in lieu of the high cost of lives, >has been something of a sacred concern to me. I have come to >appreciate experientially true freedom. It is of inestimably >greater value than life in this body of death. I dedicate this >book to the many who have awakened to the knowledge of this most >precious of all divine gifts. Some have shown their awakening >through the sacrifice of their lives for a higher purpose. >Others, through suffering incarceration for its principles. >Others still yet, by refusing to be insulted in the belief that, >access to materialism enabling the satisfaction of the lusts of >the body, constitutes freedom. We refuse to submit our integrity >as beings, created in the image of God, to that of base man-made >forms, material and abstract. They are there to serve us, and >not us them. We continue to hold to the ultimate justice of the >supreme God. Hoping in his soon coming Kingdom and reign here on >earth. May our hopes be soon realized and with it the >destruction of all wickedness and corruption, and those who >perpetuate such. > I make particular mention of my family and friends at Mt. >Carmel. In the short time we are apart whether by death or >distance, I honor the memory. Also to the many friends I have >come to know since these events, I salute your virtue. May our >friendship be as enduring as God, and equally as rewarding. > > Mt. Carmel: Out of the Ashes > > In my experience of this justice system, in the wake of >events at Mt. Carmel, I am left in no doubts, that the judicial >process no longer serves justice. It has in fact bowed, to the >service of the political economy. I have further come to >appreciate experientially, the fallacy of the commonly held >belief, that governmental administration is a vehicle for the >will of the people. In writing this book, I bypass the judicial >process of appeal, and appeal directly to the good citizens of >this nation. > To many the spirit of Mt. Carmel, expressed in the book >Sealed with Seven Seals of the book of Revelation, remains a >mystery. In their observations, they see the material events >which occurred on February 28th, through April 19th of 1993. >These events they judge in the spirit of their own minds. Many >correctly conclude, that something seriously amiss took place. >But beyond these judgments there exist a deeper meaning. It is >my hope that by saturating the pages of this book, with the >spirit and purpose of Mt. Carmel, many might catch a vision of >what hitherto has been a mystery. Further, they might be brought >to a place in their consciousness, where they can see the future >envisioned by GOD. > It is a fact of reality, that freedom begins at the level of >the soul. Being free to think and act in harmony with ones self. >To be so disposed is further dependent, on the persons ability to >think and make sound truthful judgments. This ability, arises >out of a heart faithful to sound spiritual truths, as they exist >in the mind of God and not in the imagination of self-serving and >corrupt men. Essentially we are all children of God. Being >aware of this heritage, we are free to pursue His will for us or >pursue the imagination of our now corrupt hearts. Many have >chosen the latter, the results of which we see everyday around >us. The innocent and the defenseless become the victims, being >forced to honor their integrity at a cost to their lives. Mt. >Carmel was just such a case in point. > Based in the authority of the Word of God, an authority >claimed acknowledgment in the Constitution of this nation, it is >considered the right and obligation of all men to pursue God. >Further, to pursue Him in the way shape or form, He should >choose, He be pursued. Is this not a sacred trust, that no >institution of man, has the right to infringe? Mt. Carmel was >established for the pursuit of just such a purpose. On February >28th 1993, under the guise of serving a search warrant, this >right, was unlawfully challenged. A challenge subsequently met >with a response, arising out of conscientious obligation. > It is not my intention or purpose at this stage, to contend >with peoples uninformed opinions and misguided judgments >regarding the conduct and actions of David Koresh. But rather, >to focus on significant information, placing the events of Mt. >Carmel, in the spirit and perspective of its residents. The >propaganda disseminated by this government, in its effort to >disguise it's immoral actions, has left much confusion in the >minds of many. Significantly, this propaganda sought to >sensationalize certain accusations made against us regarding our >beliefs and conduct. It will be seen that the government totally >disregarded our efforts to address these issues. It ignored the >evidence of our previous cooperation with the authorities. Above >all, it totally ignored our position of faith, the premise from >which our actions and behavior could clearly be shown to be of >God. The fact that such propaganda had to be employed in the >first place, is to me clear proof the government had no real >legal justification to mount such an attack. I remain convinced >that the government was operating from a hidden agenda, for which >it employed the cover of law and propaganda, to conceal. It will >be seen from a basic introduction to our beliefs that this >government is bogus and lacking of the divine mandate for its >rule. > Against this background and knowledge of the will of God >contained in the Seven Seals one will be better placed to >understand the reasons behind the events of Mt. Carmel. > Since these events, I have been comforted in the knowledge >that, inspite of the propaganda, there were some who were not >fooled. As a matter of fact, the actions of the government, >merely served to confirm in their minds, the extent of >governmental corruption and control over the minds of the >American people. This information is available on record. >Therefore, it can be checked for its accuracy and detail. > The historical context of Mt. Carmel is well documented. > ======================================================================== Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. : Counselor at Law, federal witness email: [address in tool bar] : Eudora Pro 3.0.1 on Intel 586 CPU web site: http://www.supremelaw.com : library & law school registration ship to: c/o 2509 N.
