        NEW MASS MARKET PAPERBACK EXPOSES FEDS MASSACRE AT WACO

     Seven dozen government submachinegun-armed government agents
descend upon a multi-racial community of men, women and children who
fly the flag of David.  Some shoot at the unarmed man at the front
door who begs them to stop charging and just talk; others shoot from
helicopters through the roof as women and children hide under their
beds; others shoot at community members trying to return to the
community; six community members die that day.  After sabotaging all
attempts at negotiations, military tanks gas the women and children,
ram the building--flames erupt and 76 more members of the community
are killed.  Nazi Germany 1941?  Saddam's Iraq 1989? Or Waco, Texas
1993?

     Why does Congress and the press still promote the lies that the
Branch Davidians "ambushed" federal agents, refused to cooperate with
negotiators, and killed themselves and their children?  Why is the
U.S. government continuing to demonize the victims?  If the "Waco
incident" leaves you with the uncomfortable feeling that the federal
government cares more about th reputation of federal law enforcement
than the protection of the American people, you *must* read the just
published mass market paperback:

More about THE DAVIDIAN MASSACRE---

     The book draws on government and news sources, trial and
congressional transcripts, and interviews with experts and
participants, including Davidian survivors and prisoners.

     It systematically analyzes evidence that agents of the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) committed real crimes against the Branch
Davidians, crimes which have been systematically covered up by
officials of those agencies, as well as by officials of the Justice
and Treasury Departments and the Clinton White House.  It provides
compelling evidence that:

**   In its initial investigation BATF paid far more attention to the
advice of "cult busters" and former members committed to the
destruction of the group than to local sheriffs who could have vuched
for the Davidians' history of cooperation with law enforcement.  Ex-
members' allegations that Davidians talked about owning illegal
weapons were the primary "evidence" supporting the issuing of a search
warrant.

**   Even the Justice Department report on Waco, which includes young
Kiri Jewell's sex abuse accusation, admits that none of these
accusations was of sufficient credibility to create probable cause to
indict David Koresh for child or sexual abuse.

**   David Koresh invited BATF investigators to inspect his guns on
July 30, 1992.  BATF knew he had a legal gun business but chose to
hide that fact from the public--even by effectively kidnapping his gun
dealer and business partner during the siege.

**   BATF presented false information to the National Guard and the
military that there was a methamphetamine laboratory at the Davidians'
home and church, Mount Carmel Center.

**   BATF never planned a peaceful service of warrant because it
wanted a big paramilitary raid that would get national publicity and
help increase its budget.

**   David Koresh came to the front door unarmed and tried to comply
with the warrant, crying, "Let's talk!  There's women and children
here!"

**   BATF agents shot first at the front door, panicking after an
agent shot a dog, wounding Koresh and mortally wounding his unarmed
father-in-law who stood behind him.  Agents shot indiscriminately
through the walls for almost two hours.

**   BATF agents in one or more helicopters fired down on the
Davidians, killing four people and leaving more than a hundred bullet
holes in the roof and walls of the building.  Even the then-director
of BATF admits that if the agents shot from helicopters they should be
prosecuted for murder.

**   BATF agents consistently have lied to cover up their acts,
claiming Davidians ambushed them with machineguns, grenades and .50
caliber weapons.  (You know those 6 inch bullets they always show on
television?  Investigators never found even one of those on the
grounds outside the building aftr the fire.  The Davidians never fired
them.)

**   BATF agents assassinated Michael Schroeder, a Davidian trying to
return to Mount Carmel immediately after the raid.

**   The FBI siege and Hostage Rescue Team leader had no sympathy with
the beleaguered Davidians.  More likely, concerned that the evidence
of illegal gunfire would result in the prosecution of BATF agents,
they deliberately sabotaged negotiations by destroying evidence and
private property and playing loud music and shining bright lights--
anything to give agents an excuse to destroy the evidence of illegal
BATF gunfire that riddled the walls and roof of Mount Carmel. (What I
have now come to call a "cover your butt" conspiracy.)

**   FBI agents lied to Attorney General Janet Reno about David
Koresh's April 14, 1993 promise-to-surrender letter, the safety of CS
gas, FBI agent fatigue, child abuse, the rules of engagement and their
plan to demolish the building in order to coerce into approving their
gassing plan.

**   FBI agents knew the Davidians said they would stay inside the
building "even if you run ten tanks through it." Davidians were
determined to stay those last few days until David Koresh finished his
short book on the Seven Seals.  The FBI continued their gas and tank
attack anyway.  FBI agents heard suspicious (though probably innocent)
Davidian conversations about pouring and spreading fuel but continued
their attack anyway.

**   Tank attacks collapsed half the gymnasium, as well as stairwells
and exits.  They trapped most Davidians on the second floor or inside
the concrete room, a room where nine women and children died when a
tank knocked hundreds of pounds of concrete on them before the fire.

**   The tank which ripped out the first floor, southeast corner
knocked over a lamp on the second floor, starting a fire.  The wind-
whipped fire, fed by flammable CS gas and stored flammable fuels,
zapped through the building in seconds.

**   The Justice Department scotched a truly independent x-ray
examination of all allegedy illegal Davidian weapons found after the
fire--probably because the FBI is *falsely* claiming that some or all
of them are illegal.

**   Serious questions remain about the involvement of President
Clinton, from the planning stage to the day of the fire: Bill
Clinton's good friend, Little Rock BATF head Bill Buford, helped plan
the raid; Bill Clinton's good friend Deputy Treasury secretary Roger
Altman visited Buford at the hospital the day after the raid; the
White House lied about when Clinton knew about the gassing plan;
Clinton talked to Janet Reno two hours before the fire started; the
Clinton White House was claiming the Davidians started the fire
minutes after it started.

**   Janet Reno's Justice Department promoted and condoned obvious
judicial and prosecutorial misconduct--especially missing and withheld
evidence--during the 1994 trial of eleven Branch Davidians.  Justice
Department memos released during Congressional hearings show the
government stopped interviewing agents because their testimony would
help Davidian defendants.  Important information relevant to firing
from helicopters and lies to Janet Reno only came out at Congressional
hearings--it was never given to defense attorneys.  (Author Carol
Moore has filed complaints with the Justice Department about
prosecutorial misconduct which are currently under investigation by
the Department.)

**   Nevertheless, the jury found all Davidians *innocent* of the most
serious charges of conspiracy and murder of federal agents, believing
they had acted in self-defense.  Because of judicial machinations,
jurors did convict eight Davidians of what they thought were "minor
charges" which would result in only time served.  However, the judge
sentenced the nine victims of injustice to a total of 243 years!

     To end, after recent hearings the U.S. Congress claimed that
there was no religious persecution, there was no firing from
helicopters, there was no deliberate harassment of Davidians, there
was no deliberate agent plan to destroy Mount Carme on April 19th--no,
*everything* was the Davidians' fault and the poor, incompetent BATF
and FBI will just have to clean up their act so they'll be ready to
deal with the "next group of fanatics."

     Violence begets violence--and coverup begets paranoia. If some
citizens feel they must form militias to protect themselves and some
radicals find an excuse to commit dastardly acts of violence, can the
three branches of the federal government really blame anyone but
themselves?

     Finally, must we all worry and wonder--who is next?  Do you own a
gun?  Have your own business?  Live in a group house or a commune?
Smoke a little dope?  Have funny stickers on your car that criticize
the government?  Criticize the government or talk dirty on the net?
Worship at a church that is not approved of by your neighbors?  Own
property local poltiicians want to grab?  Have enemies willing to tell
terrible lies about you to law enforcement?  Have black skin or a
hispanic surname?  Are you next?

     If the feds can get away with the massacre of the Davidians, and
blame the victims, and if we all just let them do it--none of us is
safe!

     Buy and read THE DAVIDIAN MASSACRE--and demand that Congress
appoint an independent counsel and free the Branch Davidian prisoners!
