In January 1993, the United States and 130 other coun-
tries had signed the Chemical Weapons Convention banning the
use of CS gas in warfare. Use of this toxic chemical had
been condemned by everyone from Amnesty International to the
US Army.

On April 14, 1993, the Department of Justice secretly
flew in two military officers, Brigadier General Paul J.
Shoomaker and Colonel William "Jerry" Boykin, then Commander
of Delta Force (B Squadron) Special Ops at Ft. Bragg, North
Carolina. They were flown by FBI transport to Waco to
"assess the situation", the flown to Washington to meet
Attorney General Janet Reno, to discuss "contingency plans
that may be used to being the situation in Waco to an end,"
according to an Amry Operations Command memo obtained by
WorldNetDaily in August 1999.

On Saturday, April 17, Reno suddenly agreed to the use
of CS gas in ending the Waco siege. She would later offer
several reasons for approving the gas attack Intelligence
had indicated Koresh was sexually abusing the children,
armed militia from around the country were converging on
Mount Carmel to free the residents, the perimeter had become
unstable and, finally, the agents at the scene were suffer-
ing from fatigue.

At 6AM on April 19, while it was still dark, the huge
speakers began broadcasting a new message to the 83 people
inside. "The siege is over. We're going to put tear gas
into the building. The tear gas is harmless, but it will
make your environment uninhabitable. You are under arrest.
Come out now with your hands up. There will be no shooting.
This is not an assault."

From several sides at once, M60A1 tanks modified for
demolition began punching holes into the walls of Mount
Carmel According to the plan signed off on by Reno, this
phase of the gas attack was supposed to continue for 48
hours if necessary. However, in the fine print of the plan,
the part Reno may not have read, rapid escalation of the
attack was approved if tanks drew fire from the residents.
Within a few minutes, four BV tanks began firing ferret
rounds into the building. Four hundred canisters had been
stockpiled for the attack. Ninety minutes later, they had
practically expended the supply. They put out an emergency
request for more canisters.

"By noon the building is a tinderbox," writes Thibo-
deau. "A thick layer of methylene chloride dust deposited
by the CS gas coats the walls, floors, and ceilings, min-
gling with kerosene and propane vapors from our spilled
lanterns and crushed heaters. To make things worse, a
brisk, thirty-knot Texas wind whips through the holes ripped
in the building like a potbellied stove with its damper
flung open."

Shortly after two pyrotechnic ferret rounds were fired
into the house, one in the rear and one in the front, two
fireballs raced through the building. Within seconds, the
entire structure was in flames. According to the survivors,
the only logical exit for most people was through the cafe-
teria. Most of the women and children were huddled in a
concrete vault nearby. The children had no gas masks, so
they sought shelter under wet blankets. When people tried
to exit, they were driven back into the building by sniper
fire. With their escape route cut off, they roasted alive.

Nine residents survived, all of whom emerged from
locations visible to the telephoto lenses of the network TV
cameras. The presence of those cameras may explain why they
survived, unlike the unfortunate ones who attempted to exit
through the rear.

Fire trucks were available to put out the blaze, but
were held back and not allowed near the scene until nothing
bush ashes were left. Meanwhile, the tanks ran over bodies
and pushed debris into the fire to make sure nothing re-
mained standing. Texas Rangers, who were not allowed near
the scene until much later int he day, believed the FBI was
salting phony evidence while destroying the crime scene to
make an investigation impossible. What little evidence did
remain disappeared quickly.

In the midst of the smoke and dust, the ATF flag was
run up the Mount Carmel flagpole, signaling victory. Mean-
while, the official press release went out "The cult set
fire to the building and committed mass suicide rather than
surrender."

Today, the internet is filled with contradictory state-
ments about the massacre, and the survivors have split into
several camps. The cover-up continues, and some websites
are undoubtedly counterintelligence operations designed to
confuse the American people. **Sharlene's note Carol Valen-
tines site no doubt**

The most frightening development, the militarization of
our police force, continues unabated. Today, every police
department in America is busy hiring a squad of professional
snipers like those brought in for the final solution at
Waco*
