1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,800 In February 1993, approximately 130 men, women and children lived in a large house just 2 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,280 outside Waco, Texas, on property they called the Mount Carmel Center. 3 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,640 The leader of this group was 33-year-old Vernon Howell, who later changed his name to David 4 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,840 Koresh. David believed he had been asked by God to deliver the message of the book 5 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:37,640 of revelations in the Bible to the world. Rachel, David's wife and their three children also 6 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,520 lived at Mount Carmel. The Mount Carmel property was established as a religious retreat 7 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:51,160 by its founders in 1935. Followers came to be known as Branch DeVittians. In 60 years, 8 00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:55,480 he had been only one incident in an otherwise unblemished record of the Branch DeVittians 9 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,400 peaceful existence with their neighbors. Former leader George Rodin's wife gave leadership 10 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:07,160 of the group to Koresh. Rodin then unearthed dead woman in her coffin and challenged Koresh 11 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,760 to see who could raise the dead woman. Koresh called the police who said they needed evidence. 12 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,760 Koresh and several followers went to the ranch to take pictures of the coffin and wrote 13 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:23,240 an opened fire. Rodin was shot in the finger. Koresh and seven others were arrested. 14 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:29,240 All were later acquitted. Former leader George Rodin also accused David Koresh of getting 15 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,920 his 75-year-old mother pregnant. In response, David replied, 16 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,840 If I took a seven-year-old woman and got her pregnant, you better watch out. 17 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:50,840 On God. This statement obviously said sarcastically was repeated out of context, 18 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,160 over and over in the news media and by the FBI in the next weeks, 19 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040 to portray David Koresh as having claimed he was God. 20 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,480 Many people at Mount Carmel held responsible jobs in the outside community. 21 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,040 Wayne Martin was a well-known and respected Harvard-educated lawyer. 22 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,760 Sherry Jula was a computer analyst in teacher. David Jones was a male man. 23 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,720 Mike Schroeder and Woody Kendrick's work craftsmen. 24 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,880 Church services were no different than what you'd expected any church service. 25 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,080 The branch divisions were well-liked by many of their neighbors. 26 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,240 And the branch divisions had some distinguished neighbors over the years. 27 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:43,080 Texas Governor Anne Richards grew up in Waco. William Sessions was the mayor and a judge in 28 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,960 Waco before he became director of the FBI. ATF director Stephen Higgins and FBI spokesman 29 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,960 Bob Rick's both attended Baylor University in Waco and President Clinton recently appointed 30 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,360 a new commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service. She too is from Waco. 31 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,000 The house was built by the laborers of the people who lived there. 32 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,240 What happened to target these seemingly peaceful and religious people for the wrath of the United States government? 33 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:20,840 Around 1987, Mark Bro, a self-proclaimed prophet from Honolulu, Hawaii, joined the branch 34 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:27,160 divisions at Mount Carmel. He was asked to leave in 1989 when he tried to take over the leadership of 35 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:34,600 the Mount Carmel Center from David Koresh. Mark Bro vowed revenge. He called several international 36 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:41,160 agencies and made allegations against David Koresh of adulterous sex, child abuse, and gun stockpiling. 37 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,840 One of the groups he contacted was cult awareness network. A group that helps to arrange 38 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,760 kidnappings and deep programming of people who join religious groups. Deep programming is a form 39 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,280 of brainwashing. Call to awareness network pushed for investigations of the branch divisions. 40 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:05,000 In 1992, Mark Bro was provided a golden opportunity to get his revenge 41 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,120 when a disjockey named David Jewel became embroiled in a custody battle with his wife, 42 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:17,000 Sherry Jewel, a branched a video that lived at Mount Carmel. Mark Bro approached David Jewel's mother 43 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:23,160 to tell his sorted tales of sex, abuse, and guns. He then later testified at the custody hearing. 44 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:30,600 In an interview with an Australian network in 1991, David Koresh himself answered these claims. 45 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:39,400 How many wives do you have? One. One. One. One. Why? Have you always had, have I committed a 46 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:47,720 adulterer? No, I don't commit adulterer. You tell me the truth. I am telling you the truth. 47 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,200 Have you beaten children? No, I do not. I think the girls that was I shall. Was there parents 48 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,040 there? A parents were there? Did you do it? No, I didn't do it. 49 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,120 Nonetheless, these very same allegations made their way into the search warrant of David, 50 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:10,760 written by alcohol tobacco and firearms agent, David Agalera on February 25, 1993. 51 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,640 The ATF is responsible for seeing that taxes are paid on certain types of guns, 52 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:24,040 and enforcing federal gun laws. Why would these allegations be included in an application to search 53 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,720 for weapons violations? The ATF has no authority to investigate child abuse or polygamy. 54 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,480 And these allegations were investigated by the Texas welfare department, and the McClin and 55 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:41,560 County Sheriff's Department in 1991, and 1992, and were found to be baseless. 56 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,920 Parts of the search warrant, affidavit by Agent Agalera were false. Here, Agent Agalera refers to 57 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:55,400 shotgun news, a national newspaper with a circulation of 150,000 that has sold it new stands all 58 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:03,240 over the country. He calls it a clandestine newspaper. The ATF described how an undercover agent 59 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:11,800 had observed the upper and lower receivers of disassembled AK-47s. The AK-47 has a one-piece receiver. 60 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:18,440 There are no separate upper and lower receivers on an AK-47. Obviously, Agent Agalera didn't have a 61 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:25,240 clue and magistrate Green failed to notice. Agent Agalera also stated that a neighborhood 62 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,840 machine gun fire, but he didn't state that the McClin and County Sheriff had already investigated 63 00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:36,760 this claim and found that David Kuresh had a legal device called a Hellfire trigger that merely 64 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:44,040 sounds like a machine gun, but is perfectly legal. Machine gun fire in itself is not evidence 65 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:50,760 of illegal activity. It is legal to own a machine gun if the owner pays a $200 tax on the gun. 66 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:57,480 But there was no evidence the branch Davidian's owned any machine gun at all. So, bottom line, 67 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:04,920 the raid on February 28, 1993 was launched because the ATF merely suspected that the branch 68 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,640 Davidian's might have a machine gun that they had failed to pay a $200 tax on. 69 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,720 Branch Davidian Paul Fatham, who was responsible for many gun purchases states categorically. 70 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:25,640 There is no 50 caliber machine gun out there. There is a 50 caliber gun that's a semi-automatic 71 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:33,880 that was bought perfectly legal. Agalera also failed to mention that in July 1992, the ATF had 72 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,720 inspected hewitt arms, a gun and gun parts store in Waco where the branch Davidian's had purchased 73 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:47,640 225 guns. Henry McMahon, the former owner of hewitt arms, told Pete Zerales of the Mobile Press 74 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:54,920 that when the ATF agents visited hewitt arms in July 1992, I called David and told him the agents 75 00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:01,000 have a problem with you buying some of the guns. He said, tell him to come on out. The ATF agents 76 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:08,200 declined this offer. Magistrate Dennis Green, the only U.S. magistrate in Waco, and himself 77 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:14,600 a former U.S. attorney issued the search warrant for the Mount Carmel property. An article in the 78 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:21,400 August 30, 1992 Waco Tribune Harald revealed that the small town of Waco had an extraordinarily 79 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,600 high rate of federal gun prosecutions compared to the rest of the nation under the direction 80 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:34,200 of Bill Johnstone, the U.S. attorney in Waco. This high rate of prosecutions in Waco for gun 81 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:40,360 law violations may welcome from the ATF's and Magistrate Green's ignorance of federal gun laws. 82 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,280 Although agent Agalera claims in the affidavit to be experienced and to know about federal 83 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:52,280 firearms laws, he confuses the meanings of the words machine gun, destructive device, 84 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:59,000 explosive and explosive device, all of which have different specific meanings in the federal 85 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:07,000 law books. Magistrate Dennis Green failed to notice. Nonetheless, reporters at the Waco Tribune 86 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,280 Harald began a scandalous series of articles about the branched of Indians the day before the ATF 87 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:18,360 raid. The reporters claim to have interviewed former cult members. The allegations sounded 88 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,280 amazingly like the allegations of Mark Bro when the cult awareness network members. 89 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:29,480 This diagram depicts the House at Mount Carmel as it appeared on the day of the raid by ATF 90 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:38,120 on February 28, 1993. In press accounts, the ATF claim that the raid was moved up a day after the ATF 91 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,280 learned that the Waco Harald Tribune had started its series the day before. This was the first of many 92 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:51,400 outright lies. The warrant would expire if it was not served by February 28 and the raid took place 93 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:58,040 on February 28. What you are about to see is the first film footage of the initial raid as it was 94 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,720 provided to all the network television feeds. This film was heavily edited by someone before it 95 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,920 was distributed across the networks. It contains obvious glitches where film has been cut out, 96 00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:14,680 but even this editing wasn't enough to remove the truth. We'll show these next three scenes, 97 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:21,560 three times, watch closely. In the opening scene, agents are in position behind cars, 98 00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:26,840 shooting at the front of the house as two teams of four agents climb ladders on the side of the house 99 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,880 to the roof. 100 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:56,440 Now we'll be play what you just saw. Notice that there are no bullets hitting the ground or cars 101 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:02,040 around any of these ATF agents. The three dark dots low on the horizon are helicopters. 102 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,840 The sound of automatic weapons is coming from the M16 and MPU 5 machine guns used by the ATF 103 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,840 agents. 104 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,840 What's that? 105 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:39,080 In the next scene, two teams of four agents were supposed to secure the roof within 30 seconds of arrival. 106 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:49,000 Notice that no one is shooting at these agents as they climb the ladders. 107 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,800 Several of these agents are carrying fully automatic rifles. 108 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,920 The agent of the top right side just managed to shoot himself in the leg, did you see it? We'll watch that again. 109 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,560 The nine millimeter pistols carried by the ATF have no safety protection on them. As the agent 110 00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:21,080 climbs the ladder, he reaches for its gun in the holster. It discharges wounding him in the leg 111 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,480 and causing him to slip. He is able to continue up the ladder, however. 112 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,440 According to ATF spokesman Reuster, the raid on Mount Carmel had been planned and rehearsed from 113 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:40,360 a moment. They drilled over and over again and we had our plan down. We had a diversion down. All of a 114 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,760 put into effect and they were waiting. 115 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:52,600 Next we see three of the four agents on the roof breaking into the window. 116 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,360 And we have a couple of them. 117 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,960 We'll go back and give you another take then. 118 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,240 Let's watch this part again. No one is shooting at these agents. 119 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,800 The shooting you were hearing is from the agents on the ground in front of the house. 120 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,920 Notice that the agent is carrying two types of grenades on his belt. He also is carrying a smoke grenade. 121 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,320 Both agents of the window toss in what appear to be smoke grenades. 122 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:14,520 After these agents get through the window and into the room, you will briefly see the fourth agent on 123 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:20,920 the roof, followed by one of those badly edited cuts in the film. The film picks up with the fourth 124 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:26,280 agent tossing something into the room. It makes no sense for him to be throwing anything at all 125 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,800 into a room where the three ATF agents have just gone unless he intends to injure his own men. 126 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,520 He also fires a machine gun into the room twice without looking. We'll watch it at normal speed, 127 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,480 then slow it down. 128 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,520 Now let's watch it in slow motion. Here he tosses something and with draws his hand from the window. 129 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:03,160 Next without looking, he fires a burst from his machine gun into the room. 130 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,440 Someone begins shooting from inside and bullet holes appear in the wall. 131 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,120 In the midst of this gun fire, three holes appear at the same time. 132 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:27,640 The agent fires his machine gun into the room a second time. He's then hit by a round. 133 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,000 The bullet strikes him in his helmet on the backside of his head. 134 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,120 He falls to the roof and grabs his head. 135 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:49,160 This agent is not hurt and he later makes it safely down the ladder. 136 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,600 Regardless of who is shooting from inside that room, this agent just threw what appears to have 137 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:10,840 been a grenade and fired a machine gun twice into the room where his three fellow ATF agents have just gone. 138 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,480 All three of the agents who were sent into the window were killed. All three were billed 139 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:23,240 Clinton's bodyguards during his presidential campaign. A fourth agent was killed that day before 140 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,800 the shooting started as he exited the cattle car. 141 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,280 We're extremely proud of what happened out there. How are agents conducted himself? 142 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,880 Under some unbelievable circumstances. They did a fantastic job. 143 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,960 David Corrash says, no, just for the legacy they were scared. 144 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,960 They had a plan for months. So I don't think there's really anything they did wrong. 145 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,120 I said they had bigger guns than we did. 146 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:58,920 Notice the MP5 and M16 machine guns and knife sheets on these ATF agents who claim to have been 147 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:06,120 outgunned. On the day of the raid, 29 year old Mike Schroeder, a branched a video, had left the 148 00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:11,080 Mount Carmel Center that morning to go to work in town. He learned about the raid on the radio. 149 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:17,080 His wife, Kathy Schroeder, and their four-year-old son were inside the Mount Carmel Center. 150 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,800 Mike, along with Woody Kendrick's and Norman Allison, attempted to go home. 151 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,000 Mike was shot seven times once through his eye, another through the heart, 152 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,160 and five times in the back as he attempted to climb over the fence. 153 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:37,000 Norman Allison was captured immediately. He told the ATF that Mike Schroeder had been killed. 154 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:44,280 The official lie released to the news media claimed that the men started to shoot out as they tried 155 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,720 to leave Mount Carmel. The story appeared on March 1st in the Associated Press and in the 156 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:56,280 Waco-Herald Tribune on March 2nd. But even this March 1st story reported that one of the three men was killed. 157 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,760 Documents filed in Norman Allison's indictment also plainly showed that the government knew the 158 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,000 men were trying to get into the Mount Carmel Center not shooting their way out. 159 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:14,680 These documents also prove that the government knew on February 28, 1993 that Mike Schroeder 160 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:21,160 had been shot. Yet Mike's body was left hanging on a fence for days. His family wasn't notified 161 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:27,880 of his death until five days later. On the fifth day Mike Schroeder's body, 162 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,640 chewed by wild dogs and birds, was picked up on a grappling hook from a helicopter and transported 163 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:39,320 like a side of beef on a meat hook. His mother was in Waco and she was finally notified of his 164 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:44,760 death by telephone. His wife inside Mount Carmel was never notified of his death by the FBI. 165 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,720 Peter Gensbody was left to top a water tower. It fell apart and dropped to the ground when the 166 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:57,080 feds attempted to lift it with a grappling hook. The branched of itians buried what remained of his body. 167 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,400 Two of the ATF's own agents sum up the ATF mentality pretty well. 168 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:11,720 And the thing that I find totally abhorrent and disgusting is these higher-level people took that same 169 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:19,720 and they violate the basic principles and tenets of the Constitution and laws and simple ethics 170 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:27,320 and morality. That's what discussed me. In my career with ATF, the people that I put in jail 171 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:33,160 have more honor than the top administration in this organization. I know it's a sad commentary, 172 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:40,040 but that's my experience with ATF. On the fourth day, Jeff Jamar of the FBI is brought in to be in 173 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:47,080 charge of the operation replacing the ATF. From this point on, all news people will be kept three 174 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:53,560 miles away from the Mount Carmel Center. ATF agents armed with machine guns and state troopers 175 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:59,160 are posted at Roblox to keep citizens five miles from the Mount Carmel Center. The only news 176 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:04,440 that anyone in the United States will receive will be the official version told by Agent Bob Rick's 177 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:11,880 of the FBI. It is illegal to use military troops against United States citizens under the Posse 178 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:19,800 Kamatata's Act, 18 United States Code 1385, but the FBI brings in tanks from nearby Fort Hood, 179 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:33,800 a US Army installation to surround the house. National guard troops and military equipment can be used 180 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:40,200 in drug-introduction activities. Even though there was never any question of drug activity at Mount Carmel, 181 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:46,600 as a ploy to avoid criminal penalties imposed by the Posse Kamatata's Act, the ATF claims 182 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:53,320 there is a suspected Mithem Thedamine lab. Yet even after Texas Governor Anne Richards becomes aware 183 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,920 that she was deceived by the ATF into consenting to the use of the tanks, she does not order the 184 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,840 tanks off the property. From now on, the branched of Indians will have no contact with the outside 185 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:12,280 world. The FBI orders all the utilities, lights, phone, water, gas and plumbing to the house 186 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:20,600 to be disconnected. A telephone wired directly to the FBI is put in place. The FBI sets up a steady 187 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,640 stream of torture directed at the branched of Indians, which included many small children inside 188 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:31,800 the house. Bright stadium lights keep the house lit up 24 hours a day, as allowed speaker 189 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:38,120 Blair's sounds of rabbits being slaughtered to bet in monk chance and Nancy Sinatra's song, 190 00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:45,880 these boots are made for walkin. One refrain of that song says, I just found me a brand new box of 191 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:52,120 matches, yeah, and if you play with fire, you know you're going to get burned. Whenever a branched 192 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,720 to video and falls into disfavor with the FBI, the tanks are used to crush the person's car, 193 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:05,160 or in the case of the children, their go-carts as punishment. On March 27, the London Times runs 194 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:11,480 an article describing the equipment used by the FBI. The British Strategic Air Services sends 195 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:17,160 especially equipped plane to take thermal images of the insides of the house, allowing the FBI 196 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:23,000 to see everyone who is inside by the heat reflected from their bodies. The FBI inserts 197 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,160 fiber optic cameras into the walls of the house and into air vents. The fiber optic cameras 198 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:35,720 are attached to transmitters that then broadcast the signal to the FBI receiver. The FBI can now 199 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:45,480 see and hear everyone inside the house at all times. On April 19, 1993, the entire country saw 200 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,920 live coverage of the fire at Mount Carmel. We were told that the FBI had decided to punch 201 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:57,560 holes to insert a non-flammable CS gas to urge the mothers and children to come out. We were told 202 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:03,560 this was done out of concern for the children. Shown here are some training scenes of the 203 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:21,160 impact of CS gas on grown men. 204 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,280 To understand the full impact of the following scenes, it is important to understand the layout 205 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:33,480 of the Mount Carmel Center. The underground bunkers were not under the house. There was a cement 206 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,520 tunnel that ran from a trap door in the into the house out to two main underground shelters out 207 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:44,760 in the yard, one of which was in front of the water tower. Anyone who was inside either one of 208 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:51,240 the underground bunkers should have been untouched by either fire or smoke. In this picture, 209 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,960 this end of the house is where the trap door to the underground bunker was. This film was taken 210 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:03,160 long before 6am the morning before the fire started. There is a large hole at the base of the building 211 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,360 and the building has already been knocked off its foundation. There is a round hole in the side 212 00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:13,560 of the building. What appears to be a large blood splatter is visible on a wall on the other side. 213 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:21,240 Something perhaps a curtain flaps from inside the building. Remember, with the sophisticated bugging 214 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:27,960 and surveillance equipment the FBI used, the FBI knew where all of these people were at all times. 215 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:38,520 They could see them and hear them. 216 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:53,240 The underground bunker is in front of the water tower shown here before 6am. 217 00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:05,560 This tank was over the tunnel to the underground bunker. For more than two hours, a tank is over the 218 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:11,320 underground bunker or at the hole in the corner of the house of the entrance to the tunnel. Each time 219 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:17,160 the tank opens, agents can be seen getting in around and the camera filming it conveniently cuts away. 220 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:25,960 At approximately 6am, smoke begins pouring from the underground bunker. None of the media mentions the fire 221 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:32,840 in the underground bunker yet this is when and where the first fire began and where many people lost their lives. 222 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,640 The official version of when things began starts here around 6am morning. There is a flag 223 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:45,400 prompt against the door. The flag is not black and it is not wedged in the door as the media reported. 224 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:52,680 It is a red and blue flag. Whatever it is, it appears to be a flag of a conqueror, not a flag set 225 00:25:52,680 --> 00:26:00,040 outside by the branch of Indians. The first tank that is sent in is a tank retriever. It has no 226 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:05,560 apparatus to insert any kind of gas. It appears it precisely the time the smoke you saw earlier 227 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:12,520 was seen coming from the underground bunker. It is not making so called small holes to insert gas. 228 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:17,080 It is destroying the end of the house over the trap door that leads from the bunker, 229 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,440 making sure that no one inside the now burning bunker can escape. 230 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,920 A second hole is made in the side of the building and a third hole is made at the front door. 231 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:33,160 What these tanks are doing in each picture is collapsing the inside stairwells. 232 00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:39,880 The following footage proves beyond any doubt that the tanks intentionally set the house on fire. 233 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:47,000 It proves that the branched of Indians were murdered. Watch carefully as the tank backs out of the house. 234 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:54,760 You can see that this tank has a gas jet on the front that shoots fire. You can also see the fire 235 00:26:54,760 --> 00:27:00,520 quite plainly. The tank goes into the house twice and each time as it backs out, 236 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:06,280 the fire at the gas jet is plainly visible. In the scenes that were shown throughout the country 237 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,400 it is the location where the fire supposedly started, smoke comes out a second story window. 238 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,240 As flames erupt from the second story window, watch as a tank appears around the corner. 239 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,040 There is an agent on this tank as if he had just left down onto the top of the tank. 240 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,920 It is difficult to see the details on a television because the quality is poor, 241 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,920 but in the studio, he can be seen removing a fireproof type hood. 242 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,960 Another man is seen on the roof. The FBI claims that this man is a branched of Indian, 243 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:43,960 however, watch as he jumps from the roof and walks away. The tape quality again is poor when 244 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:49,880 it broadcasts on a television set, but in the studio while he is on the roof, he appears to take off a 245 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:55,000 jacket. He jumps and lands on his feet. He very calmly walks away. 246 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,000 As he walks, he can be seen removing a hood. 247 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:19,400 He also appears to be carrying a rifle in his right hand. As the fire burns, helicopter circle 248 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:27,000 over the center with men pointing guns out of the open doorways. Before, during and after the fire, 249 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,800 none of the agents involved are at all concerned that there could be explosions or bullets in the 250 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:37,240 house. In these next scenes you can plainly see agents walking in and out near the fire. 251 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:35,400 In any ordinary crime scene, great pains are taken to preserve evidence. Here, tanks methodically 252 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:45,800 push what remains of the house and evidence into the fire. The fire takes less than an hour to 253 00:29:45,800 --> 00:30:00,520 burn down the entire center. The fire is still smoldering at five that evening at agents walk in 254 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:07,000 and around the fire. It is obvious that there is no genuine concern over the supposed millions of 255 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:13,560 rounds of ammunition. Even though the FBI and the media consistently referred to this cement building 256 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:20,040 as the bunker, the real bunkers were underground, as you were shown earlier. Many of the bodies 257 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:26,600 that were found were found in the underground bunkers, not in the wellhouse. In one final 258 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:32,920 crude and insensitive display, the ATF raised its flag in victory over the ruins of Mount 259 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:40,600 Carmel before the day was over. One voice was heard that day telling the truth, Brad Branch, 260 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,760 a branch to Vidian, who had left the Mount Carmel center before the day of the fire. 261 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,760 Now that the story is not a finish enough to tell about it. Now that the story is not a 262 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,640 destroying the crime scene, the mechanism is the biggest lie that has ever been put before the 263 00:30:53,640 --> 00:31:03,640 American public ever.
