From: [email protected] (SCOTT WEIS)
The following essay is written by Massad Ayoob, the ranking sensei of
the defensive pistol. Mr. Ayoob is not only the leading instructor and
instructor trainer in handguns, he is also heavily in demand as an
expert witness in lawsuits involving the use of lethal force, as well as
being a sworn police officer for almost 20 years. Ayoob runs his
defensive firearms academy, Lethal Force Institute, in Grantham, New
Hampshire. This essay was printed in the June, 1994 issue of Guns
Magazine.
Start essay:
I have been an activist for firearms rights all my adult life. However,
only now have I begun to feel like a Jew in the Warsaw Ghetto. Only now
have all of us American gun owners lived under a regime that has made it
clear that it would rather our kind did not exist, and which has
publicly dedicated itself to reducing our numbers.
Let us, for a moment, set aside the Second Amendment. In the time of
political correctness, we need to address politically correct issues
before we talk about the fundamental cornerstones of freedom guaranteed
by our Constitution.
Do not speak to me of James Madison. Speak to me of defamation. There
are Americans alive who can remember the Jim Crow years, when
African-Americans were stereotyped in cartoons as baboons or Stepin
Fetchit characters. There was a time when Jews were portrayed as
hook-nosed, snaggle-toothed avatars of soulless greed. Until very
recently, national newspapers and magazines ran cartoons that depicted
Arabs with vulpine features.
Except for racist hate literature, that sort of thing is gone from the
mainstream media of 1994. Well, almost gone.
Caught some anti-gun political cartoons lately? The gun owners and gun
dealers will be depicted as physically unattractive, dirty, unkempt, and
possibly keeping company with drug dealers. Mario Cuomo, spoken of as a
potential Clinton appointee to the Supreme Court, has described hunters
as drunken slobs who lie to their wives about their whereabouts over the
weekend. Cuomo s implicit caricature of us is a graphic example of how
we are seen by the in crowd that currently occupies the White House
campus.
We who own guns for personal and family protection are targets of
opportunity for this sort of slander and libel. We have no anti-
defamation league of our own. Shall we go to the American Civil
Liberties Union for help? We shall receive there as much succor as the
victims of the pogroms would have received from the Hitler Youth. In
both cases, the victims were not politically correct, and in both
cases, the organization in question would never have spoken against its
own candidate.
Do not speak to me of Thomas Jefferson. Speak to me of civil rights.
President Clinton has spoken enthusiastically of the proposals by the
politically opportunistic mayors of our two largest cities to limit
handgun ownership with a scheme of needs-based licensing.
History shows where they come from . We ve seen it in their cities in
the issuance of permits to carry concealed handguns. In the Los
Angeles of Mayor Riordan or the New York of Mayor Guiliani,
needs-based licensing has meant and still means, this: If you are a
Eurocentric white male with a lot of money, and preferably have
contributed money to the party in power, you have a need and we ll
consider giving you a license.
When that is applied to mere ownership o handguns, I think we all
know where it is going. The Clinton-approved concept of needs-based
licensing for ownership discriminates against citizens, black, brown,
red and yellow. It discriminates against the old, with their traditionally
fixed incomes, and against the sick and the crippled who need a defense
gun most, but are most likely to be burdened by the sort of medical
debt that the First Lady has so often decried.
Although those who would make the gun owners of America as extinct
in America as German Jews in 1944 Berlin would paint themselves as
the champions of the poor and the oppressed and the people of color,
the fact is in this nation that the yoke of poverty has fallen most heavily
on just those citizens. It is they who are most likely to be trapped in
the pockets of poverty that the call the inner city, the places where
crime breeds. It is they who are most likely to be preyed upon by
criminals. It is they who most need the wherewithal to defend
themselves.
It is they who, cruelly and ironically, will be hardest-hit by the
**

enormous guns and ammunition taxes proposed by the Clinton
administration and its supporters, taxes that would make the tools of
self defense prohibitively expensive for all but the rich and secure.
These proposed laws impact most brutally, sometimes with life or death
consequences, upon the poor, upon the victims of politically incorrect,
but nonetheless very real, discrimination.
Don t speak to me of the Minutemen at Concord and Lexington. Speak
to me of sexism. Who among today s electorate does not remember
the horror of the young woman ravaged by the wilders in Central
Park? Would Mace or a rape whistle have worked for her? Can any
mother of any daughter, no matter what her political beliefs, examine
the scenario and not wish that, if the daughter in question was hers, she
would have in hand a high-capacity semiautomatic pistol she knew how
to use?
The gun isn t know as the equalizer for nothing. Nothing less will
balance the lethal disparity of force that the predatory male, alone or
in packs, can exert at will over the lone female. How great would be
the hypocrisy of politically active women who worked to keep that life-
saving power away from their sisters and their daughters?
Don t tell me about the Second Amendment. Tell me about the Fourth.
The one that supposedly preserves us from unlawful search and seizure.
The administration speaks of banning assault rifles. Where the toe
has been dipped in those waters–New York City, and the New Jersey
of the same former Governor Florio who, insiders say, the President
wants to appoint as a gun czar –the five year-old model of Great
Britain has been followed. Expensive firearms are banned, citizens are
paid a few cents on the dollar for turning them into the government, or
nothing at all if they destroy their property.
Understand the horror! For the first time in this nation s history, we
are talking about the confiscation of private property, lawfully
purchased and responsibly owned, without fair market value
compensation under the eminent domain principle!
Eminent domain says that if the Government determines that to
preserve the public good it must take your property, it must at least pay
current fair price to you before doing so. Considering how many guns-
-some with more than a century of service in hunting fields and the
target ranges– are involved, and how high the current readily-salable
retail has gone for AUGs and AR-15s and the like. The Government
would have to spend many billions of dollars to compensate under the
eminent domain principle. Billions that would save far more lives if
devoted to medical research or housing the homeless, or drug
interdiction, or feeding the hungry, or…
Finally, at the end, do speak to me of the Second Amendment. Tell
me why this alone, amongst every other precious standard of individual
liberty in the entire Bill of Rights, should apply to auxiliary soldiers
when the rest speak to citizens one by one?
Don t be so blatantly stupid as to tell anyone who passed elementary
school American History that the Second Amendment was about the
National Guard. In the time of American Revolution, the national
guard would have been Tories loyal to King George. I do not think
that Madison and company felt a need to keep them armed.
The fight for the next three years goes to the heart of your freedom,
and that of you children and grandchildren. It will not be fought with
guns and bullets. It will only be about them.
It will be fought with political activism and common sense. It will be
fought by reaching out to new allies, by forging coalitions of those who
have already learned the hard way the truth that those who ignore
history are doomed to repeat it.

The Old Regulation Gambit
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/4>
Some decades ago an amendment to the Constitution was
necessary to permit the US government to prohibit alcohol. Yet
today the federal government can prohibit most anything it wants
to the same level of alcohol without the trivial necessity of
complying with the Constitution. Did you ever wonder why?
It is a trivial matter. It all hinges upon one word. The
substitution of “regulate” for “prohibit” even though there is no
substantive difference.
The Federal Government has always has the power to levy
duties upon imported items. That is in the Constitution. It is
new that the federal government has asserted the power to
prohibit the importation of anything. Where did this power come
from? Regulation of course.
Let me ask you this. What is the difference between banning
something and regulating it to the point where there is no
difference from banning it? There is a simple answer, 3/4 of the
states are required to ban something. A simple majority in
Congress is all that is required to regulate something to the
same status as a ban.
Am I the only one finding something wrong with this? I find
no place in the Constitution giving federal government the power
to use regulation in place of a power it was not delegated.
I do find one thing in the Constitution. A power to
regulate interstate commerce. I find one other thing in Supreme
Court findings — that anything any place in any state is
properly regulated as interstate commerce.
It is not my intention to argue the ineffabilities of
Supreme Court decisions. It is my intent to argue, regardless of
the decision, it is completely unacceptable and not to be
tolerated.
Look at what this permits. The federal government no longer
needs to comply with the Constitution. All it has to do is
declare anything is to be regulated rather than be banned. It
need not find a delegated power within to Constitution to FORCE
something to be done, it need only declare there is a need to
regulate it.
Is the federal granted the power to control highway
standards? Of course not. Has it declared it has the power to
regulate highway standards? Most certainly. Where did it get
this power? One Supreme Court decision.
Can Congress claim control over your life? Of course not.
But is has the power to regulate your life. The federal
government can regulate your choice of cars, your choice of
entertainment, your choice of housing, your choice of clothing.
If your self employed or an employer you know you are
regulated to the point of controlled by the federal government.
If you are an employee you are probably not aware of your
potential income without government regulation.
Regulation vice banned applies it the ban of guns that are
falsely called assault weapons which are banned but it is legally
called regulation. It is bad enough the law declares it has the
right to declare anything it wishes an assault weapon. It is
worse that it declares the right to declare regulation is not a
ban.
In the days of prohibition even Eliot Ness should not have
been able to buy a drink. In these days of regulation it is
possible to exempt person or group the regulators choose. It is
possible to ban anything the regulators choose while not having
to admit it is a ban.
The federal government can quite clearly exceed any
imaginable delegated power simply by declaring it a matter of
regulation. Does Congress want water fountains of a certain
height? Regulate it. Think that is funny? Toilet seat heights
are now regulated for the handicapped even though it prevent many
handicapped from using them.
More importantly the Congress can regulate things like
banking and intrastate commerce for states like New York and
Nebraska and declare the regulation being exactly the same. Thus
a state where investments are in developed property must be the
same as the rules for farm land. We have three choices here,
regulation favors New York, it favors Nebraska or it equally
harms both.
Make up a list of what you truly and without sarcasm believe
the federal government is good at and what is bad at. Compare
that list to the federal Constitution. You will will find the
good column consists of the delegated powers and the bad column
is the regulated powers.
Is the federal Government good at providing for the common
defense? That is in the Constitution. Is the federal government
good at regulating drugs? That is not in the Constitution.
Consider carefully what is an intelligently exercisable
power of the federal government and what happens when regulation
is substituted for a power.
Unbridled regulation has been a disaster. Delegated powers
have worked.
Support your 10th amendment. It may the be last chance we
have to avoid revolution.

Demonstration Regulation
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/4>
Abortion demonstrations got out of hand. Something had to
be done. We now have specific laws governing abortion protests.
It was done in a good cause.
Of course there was harassment. There were bombings.
There were even two murders. That would certainly appear to
justify the special laws.
Unless we consider it has been rather tame compared to
unions while on strike. Not much different from the Vietnam
or civil rights protests either.
Even though demonstrations are protected by the 1st
amendment as a matter of free speech it is reasonable to
have some minimal regulation simply to assure peace and
orderliness. For example, if people wish to speak in public
parks it is reasonable to ban loudspeakers. It is not reasonable
to ban loudspeakers only for particular subjects. That we call
censorship.
With demonstrations it is reasonable to provide regulations
that assure public access is not blocked save upon a specific
permit being granted such as to hold a parade or to for such a
large crowd in a park as to deny access to normal public use.
What is not reasonable is to apply unique requirements to
demonstrations based solely upon what is being protested. Thus
there is a large number of people, perhaps a majority, who are in
favor these unconstitutional laws because they are in a good
cause.
I have written many times of the loss of rights in a good
cause. Here is a clear and present good cause and loss of
rights. Which side do you fall on?
Rather I ask which good cause will approve of next time to
limit our right of free speech? If these laws pass
Constitutional muster or even if they are simply allowed to stand
then we have taken another step toward the end of the right of
free speech.
These steps have been coming slowly after decades of
establishing it completely. It was effectively won against
censorship of pornography when the omnipotent “for the children”
argument was raised and there are dozens of draconian state and
federal laws prohibiting it. Regulating, vice prohibiting, all
pornography has been argued and that form of regulation lost.
Now we have accepted strict censorship by type rather than by
nature.
These are two steps to clear and offensive censorship,
limitations upon the freedom of speech by subject matter. The
more often it is accept the easier it is to accept the next.
Watch for more to come.

The issue is not whether or not there is an excuse but
rather who really gives a damn. This condemnation of gays has
been going on for millenia if you look at some cultures or
derivative cultures such as Christianity.
There is hardly a reason to imagine a social harm from any
gay behavior that gives the government a compelling interest in
the behavior. It is not clear that individuals need the help of
an established government to deal with the problem of
homosexuality.
It is only when a government chooses to treat people of self
inflicted diseases that there is a compelling interest of the
government. In a democracy that involves the people who
constituted the government.
I have long argued against this government choosing to
provide health care and then using that choice to claim there is
a compelling government interest. It is hardly relevant whether
or not some zero success rate organization like the APA lists it
or not.
The issue is simply that people be judged as individuals
whether it is physical or psychological. I can see no reason to
penalize a class for the actions of some of its members. Were I
to deal with classes I would point out that the crime rate of the
US is less than that of Canada if only caucasians are considered.
I do not see that gives us license to treat all ethnics
alike.
Thus the on-going argument of who is the greatest child
molester is equally irrelevant as the person not the group is the
responsible party. (I object to NAMBLA as promoting it and I
object to any gay rights group permitting them to march as
promoting it. This is not free speech. This is advocating the
violation of the law. If they wish to object to the law first, I
have no objection.)

Affordable Justice
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/5>
[Nothing in the lead in examples have not happened.]
You are driving down the road and you are stopped by the
police. They imply if you do not give up your right to privacy
and permit a search of your car that you will be arrested, when
you have the right to drive away and give them the finger as you
do so.
So you let them search the car. They find in your briefcase
more money than they think you should be carrying, in this case
$9,000. They take your money and your car and tell you to take a
hike. You never hear from them again nor are you ever charged.
You ask for your money back and you are to go to hell.
You rented a house to strangers and they were caught dealing
drugs. Your house was confiscated but no charges were ever
placed against the renters. When you ask for it back you are
told to go to hell.
Your child is dying of cancer and to keep from starving to
death because of the chemotherapy induced nausea he grows
marijuana in the backyard. You house is confiscated. He is
never charged. When you receive the eviction notice you complain
and are told to go to hell.
Your venue of justice is the courts. Your property (by a
deliberate and willful part of the law) has already been tried
and found guilty. You must prove your property was innocent.
Given the cost of suits in law and our lack of universal legal
care is beyond the means of most people. In fact it is beyond
the value of the property legally stolen in most cases.
This is a Catch-22+1. Are you insane enough to spend more
than the property is worth to recover the property?
If you are not insane and wish to achieve justice what are
your options. If you have lost a house or money you can hardly
steal it back as it was stolen from you. If it involves a car if
you steal it back they will track you down and put you in prison
in your search for justice.
As reality in the case of money and houses prohibits justice
and as the law punishes justice in the case of a car we are left
with simple vengeance. Is vengeance justified?
The law is not license to violate human right regardless of
the authority of the law. A person exercising the authority of
the law has no more justification in doing so than saying he was
only following orders. The devil made me do it and the law said
I could do it are identical statements.
Thus in the absence of justice, vengeance is morally
acceptable. Everyone from the law-makers down to the exercising
officer are equally open to vengeance for the immoral theft of
property. The only question is the moral limits of vengeance as
related to the harm caused by following orders.
As the consequences of the actions are what is being avenged
the excuse of not knowing the consequences is not a mitigating
factor. Should a person suffer $9000 worth of harm due to the
action he certainly had the moral right, not the obligation, to
inflict at least that much loss upon everyone in the chain that
permitted the harm to happen. If a car was lost then everyone in
the chain must lose a car of equal value. If a house was lost
then everyone in the chain must suffer the loss of a house.
The pursuit of justice in these cases has been relegated to
either insane or impossible. To ask a person to accept the law
as written is like asking a Jew to accept Nazi law as written.
These laws violate the very foundations of the concept of justice
for social beings.
Vengeance is not a simple matter these days. Centuries ago
it was a family matter. There were no questions asked about the
family’s right to vengeance in any religion or creed. Today we do
not have such cohesive family units. We have become indeed the
ideal of the founders of this country.
Our duty is to our fellow American. When one is harmed, all
are harmed.
When there is a loss for lack of justice then all Americans
have the moral obligation to avenge that loss.
We have a moral obligation to inflict that loss on anyone
even remotely involved in that loss unless he has personally
disavowed the execution of that law. (And I note every oath of
office requires the execution of all laws.)
It is clear that Americans have the moral authority to
avenge unjust laws against everyone in the government and in
kind.
As to “in kind” we have the right to break into homes and
shoot to kill. This government has done it to us, our fellow
Americans. Forget Waco, look at Weaver, entrapment and kill his
family.
Unless and until the government disavows those actions and
brings the perpetrators to justice we are all morally sound in
avenging their deaths upon every government employee including
elected and appointed officials who have done nothing.
We are now at the point where if we do nothing it will get
worse. If we do nothing it can only get worse in a different
manner and we have the chance of it getting better through our
efforts.
That may require a few house and car bombing and a few dead
federal employees.
We only have moral authority when we are responding to
matters where justice is for all practical purposes impossible.
Unfortunately this criteria will be forgotten.

Employers are many fewer and make easier targets.
Now people can file W-4s with a huge number of deductions
and then refuse to file. There are apparently some 5-10 million
not filing now. Of course most of them are retired and have no
tax liability in any event but the government is powerless
against them.
It is obvious there needs be a list of non-violent actions
that can be circulated and non-filing should on the list. The
general idea is to shut off the sources of income for the
government while maintaining it cash outlays. In that regard
income taxes are only about half the federal revenue. The
fraction that could be stopped without bringing in the easier
targets of employers is overall not that much of the total
income.
The essence of taxation is that it is tied to the economic
well-being of the country. In that regard we have the method
proposed decades ago by Ayn Rand. Bring the country to an
economic halt. People need to drop out of the economy as best
they can. Minimize all actions which involve taxation. learn to
live on the least income you possibly can. Become expert at
obtain welfare supplements for that income.
Let the government know we have the economy by the throat.
None of their solutions to a recession will work. If they try
it, it will be the people causing the recession who will be there
taking that money and doing even less productive work.

———————————————————————–
A Peaceful Means of Revolution
I have been asked several times how to avoid a violent
revolution. The obvious answer was to stop the government
sources of income but to continue its outlay of money. The
obvious means still required some level of violence.
A consideration of the sources of income of the government
and how to stop those led to the rediscovery of a method proposed
some 35 years ago for the same objective. I do not have the
writing style of Ayn Rand (many say I should be grateful for
that) but the book is Atlas Shrugged.
The method is to stop the wheels of the world.
The source of the government’s income is directly tied to
the condition of the economy. A nice, prolonged deliberate
recession is will drastically reduce the government’s income
while at the same time greatly increasing its expenses. And not
one life need be lost.
And if anyone thinks what I am going to propose is “too
hard” they have no idea how hard a violent revolution will be.
Everyone who has thought of revolution should be jumping at this
(or something like it) rather than be imagining a quick jaunt to
DC in September to get things over with.
What are your minimum requirements for living? Literally,
the minimum requirements. Adjust your income to no more than
that. That cuts off the taxes on your income. You are also
producing less so there is less economic activity. Every drop in
economic activity is a drop in revenues for the government.
Are you eligible for any form of government assistance
whatsoever? Forget your pride and apply for it. You will not be
lying, you have a low income now and are entitled to the
assistance. When that comes in, get a lower paying job and apply
for more assistance.
Can the government’s response be forced productivity? Can
they make you work at a more productive job? They can not
control your mind. The government is powerless against this form
of peaceful revolution.
The result will be a recession where the government will be
spending itself into bankruptcy faster than it is now. Consider
the government’s usual cure for a recession is to spend more
money. Great! Get in line for some of it. Then they will spend
more. Don’t lose your place in line.
You can’t do it to your family? But you were thinking of
going out and risking death weren’t you? You think that would be
a lesser impact? (Only you can answer that.)
Your children are college age? Perfect, the less you make
the more the government will pay for their educations. You
certainly don’t need that big house any more. Take your equity
and buy a smaller house outright. That reduces the banking
business and you are not creating income for a landlord to be
taxed.
Learn to cook your own food again. The fewer processing
steps involved the fewer people to tax.
You need medical care? Apply for Medicaid. Use the
emergency rooms. That is what they are there for.
Consider you don’t need a new car every few years. Public
transportation isn’t that bad and keeping a junker alive saves
you a lot of insurance money and reduces the economy. And never
forget that public transportation pays no taxes and runs at a
loss.
If people condemn you for doing this, remind them of the
opportunities you have given them by dropping out of the
competition for jobs. Let them step in and fill the void you
have left.

About six weeks ago I received in the mail a Colorado Spruce

I do not think Florida will be kind to this tree but I
intend to give it a shot. (The Tampa Bay area essentially has a

*********************************************************************
========================================================================
As someone involved in the telephone industry on the level of security
and data integrity… I would like to inform everyone that uses modems
and/or are bbs operators of some information.
The first thing that everyone that uses a modem should know is that
every time you fire up your modem your activating monitoring equipment
somewhere in the U.S. I have worked for several large telephone
networks that routinely monitor and reroute modem and fax transmissions
through devices that allow them to view what is being transmitted and
even decodes encrypted data and fax packets used by major corporations
and governmental agencies. This is allowed under the heading of
“Maintenance Monitoring” and may be continued for up to 6 months without
the need of any legal paperwork being generated. Under an obscure
pre-WWII ruling by the agency that is now the FCC… “No information may
be encoded or transmitted over PUBLIC or PRIVATE forms of telephony or
radio with the exception of those agencies involved in the National
Security” a further designation goes on to say “with the exception of
the MORSE system of ‘transmittal’, any communication that is not
interpretable by the human ear is forbidden and unlawful.” The
information gathered goes to 3 seperate database facilities…1 is
codenamed Diana and is located in Brussels, the 2nd is named Fredrick
and is located somewhere in Malaysia, the 3rd is named Elizabeth and is
located in Boulder, Colorado. The information stored in these systems
is accessable by the US Government, Interpol, Scotland Yard and various
other such agencies. Your credit rating is also affected by your modem
usage… if you ever get a copy of your credit history and find a
listing that has HN06443 <–= this is a negative risk rating. or a code
87AT4 <—= an even more negative risk rating…. these will usually
have no description on them… and if you inquire about them they will
tell you that it just comes from the system that way. I am currently
working for another major carrier as a consultant and have been able to
watch these systems operate…at one unnamed long distance carrier here
in Columbus Ohio in their NCC, Network Control Center, you can see
several rows of computer terminals which have approximately 30 to 40
separate windows in each… these windows have data transmissions that
are being monitored… banks of 9 track tapes are going constantly to
record everything. Everyone should realize that even if a sysop posts a
disclaimer at the beginning of his bbs about no access to governmental
agencies or law enforcement…that it isn’t worth the time it takes to
type it in… looking forward to hearing reactions to this.

Objectives of the Revolution
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/7>
Just what do we want out of this? We are calling for a
revolution. I have pointed out all we need to pledge are our
sacred lifestyles to get it bloodlessly.
What will be considered the capitulation of the the present
government?
First and foremost, NO representative of the people will in
any manner be considered superior to any other. No more
committee chairmen. No more seniority.
Second, the end of all political parties. They are the root
of the violation of our Constitution. I have pointed out Bush
ran upon fulfilling the obligations of the position of President.
Bill Clinton ran upon a party agenda.
Sorry. No place does it say we are voting for a party
agenda in my copy of the US Constitution.
Third, any and all organizations are prohibited from
lobbying any Congressman. We have more than enough
representatives at the local level to deal with them directly as
citizens. No group shall have the power to speak more loudly
than a citizen. Therefore, no groups, period.
Fourth, a Constitutional Amendment shall be submitted to the
states holding that the power to regulate interstate commerce
granted to Congress shall be strictly limited to that which
crosses state boundaries. It will not longer be permissible to
hold “affecting” such commerce is grounds for the passage of a
law.
Fifth, Congress shall present for ratification an amendment
holding its power to direct compliance shall be strictly limited
to prohibitions only. There shall no longer be directed
compliance in any action.
Sixth, Congress shall present for ratification an amendment
holding it may never withhold any funding based upon compliance
that is not directly related. While it will be possible to
withhold highway funds on condition of compliance with highway
specifications it will no longer be possible to withhold them
based upon the drinking age or seat belt laws.
Seventh, Congress shall pass legislation hold null and void
any and all prior legislation in violation of any of the above
six items. This shall not be by line item which would take years
but a broad determination of nullity.
This should do it. It is succinct as I can make it. If
anyone has an addition please let me know.
If people are willing to proceed with the economic shutdown
as I have outlined then when enough agree they are satisfied with
three out of six or five out of six the shutdown will end

I said, soon. I then added where the money was.
Look at it this way. A ship full of armed Marines is going
to meet up with a hospital ship some place near Haiti. The
story? To deal with Haitian claims for asylum.
Think about it. Why are they are different ships? If
trouble starts on the hospital ship are the Marines going to swim
over? Why did they simply not embark on the hospital ship?
The reason I posted it was that I noticed a difference
between the local and the national coverage. That difference was
the hospital ship and the area of rendezvous. There was a story
earlier in the week that the US had made a deal with Jamaica for
the asylum reviews. If the story had been they were going to
meet off of Jamaica I would have posted nothing.

Actually I have just found a source of the Bill of Rights
equivalent for all the 50 states’ constitutions. I can not
present this in a manner I would like unless some inspiration
strikes me. (It always does but I may not live long enough.)
What I have seen from a quick sample of the original 13
through the median to the last two I find no substantive
difference. (I will be working to demonstrate that point to the
skeptics.)
I hit maybe 12 states in my reading. They were all equal to
or stronger in their statement of the protections of rights than
the federal constitution. The wording varies a little even when
it adds no more protections. This applies to EVERY item I could
identify in the exercise.
Granted I was not exhaustive. However I believe I sampled
everything of interest WITHOUT the deviations I expected. I had
envisioned once getting a file of these constitutions it would
take forever. At this point I can not get up the interest to be
exhaustive given the similarities I have found by surprise.
Looking backwards at the dates of adoption of these
constitutions I can not explain why I expected to find
differences.

June 1 1994 [received 9 June 1994]
[from] Department of Justice [by letterhead and envelop]
Criminal division
Mr. Matt Giwer
1425 San Mateo Drive
Dunedin, FL 34698
Dear Mr. Giwer:
This responds to your letter to the Attorney General
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
concerning the Branch Davidians and David Koresh.
Let me begin by saying that although the President would
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
like to respond to all citizen correspondence he receives, his
extensive, official duties preclude him doing so. Since the
Department of Justice deals with the criminal justice system, his
staff forwarded your letter here for response.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On February 28, 1993 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms (“ATF”) attempted to execute arrest and search warrants
at the Branch Davidian compound outside of Waco, Texas. A
shootout ensued, during which four ATF agents were killed and 15
agents were wounded. For 51 days, federal agents attempted to
negotiate with David Koresh for his surrender and the release of
all those inside, including the children. This standoff with
federal agents ended tragically with a fire at the compound on
April 19,1993.
We recognize that the tragedy resulting from this situation
has resulted in concern and anguish throughout the country.
However, since the Branch Davidian matter is the subject of an
ongoing investigation, any further comment by the Department
would not be appropriate. Thank you for sharing your views.
Sincerely,
/s/
Karen Tinkham, Chief
Correspondence Staff
Executive Office
=====
It also my 13 April 1994 took a very circuitous route
to get to the Justice Department. I do not explain it.
I would also have to ask just what the ongoing negotiations
might be over.
This is the original letter.
=====
13 April 1994
Janet Reno
Attorney General
Department of Justice
Washington DC 20530
Dear MS Reno,
I have been waiting a year now for you to do your job
regarding Waco. I am disappointed you have not done it.
The BATF announced it had planned the raid in advance. It
announced it moved up the date by one day of the attack only
because of a compromise of security. The warrant would have
been dead on the day they planned the attack.
This is conspiracy to violate civil rights. It is a crime
worth ten years. You have done nothing to pursue this crime.
When do you plan to do your job?
Respectfully,
Matt Giwer

———————————————————————–
Every few months I get involved in the Waco debate enough to
feel the need to re-post this reply. I think it continues to
have bearing on the on-going discussion.
===
LW> What do you think the FBI should have done? What are your
LW> credentials?
Frankly good sir, I have no credentials other than what I
have observed in circumstances similar to what the government
claims them to have been.
But I am glad you finally asked. Not me, but close enough.
One of the first things you do in a potential suicide
situation (vice the hostage situation the government was falsely
claiming) is to get every family member possible to make the most
emotional plea and assurance possible that they must NOT commit
suicide because they are loved and they will be given the best of
treatment.
What is not done, absolutely not done, is arrest hostages.
OK, perhaps the government does have an interest in keeping tabs
on them, so they are given “house arrest” with family and
regularly show that on TV and report it on radio without showing
the guards outside the house.
What you do not do is provoke a case where the attorneys of
the arrested hostages can go to court, claim they are being held
without charges in violation of the constitution, hear that
denied and the appeal of that denied. You do NOT let people hear
that IF they surrender they will be arrested and held without
charges with a cellmate named Bubba.
You do make those who come out as happy as possible and make
that the offer for those who leave.
In line with this you do NOT arrest the parents and forcibly
separate them from their children and consign them to foster
homes of strangers.
All this does is send the solid message, “This WILL happen
to you!”
What else do you do with a potential suicide? You do not,
repeat not, provide any self fulfilling prophecies. That is, you
never reinforce the suicide’s reasons for suicide. So the word
should have been, “This was a tragic misunderstanding. We need
to work it out. You have to understand our position we can not
walk away but we will offer you a situation similar to what you
have now while awaiting it going to trial.”
And as to how? Real simple. Surrender your weapons and
allow our guards inside to supervise. In return the gov would
return power and offer monitored but unlimited phone access.
They would provided non-handcuffed passage to and from
arraignment and trial.
What the government did to was present a “final
confrontation between good and evil” situation to them,
reinforcing their beliefs. And it was a confrontation and yes it
was final. Yes, the government reinforced their beliefs, the
last thing one does in a suicide situation.
=====
The problem with going any further is that there is only one
other MAJOR scenario which is that of a hostage situation. There
are no parallels to this kind of “hostage” situation. A hostage
is always taken or forcibly restrained and used as a bargaining
chip with the authorities. Their own children definitely were
not either taken nor forcibly restrained.
Since there was no hostage situation there is no way to say
what should of should not have been done regarding hostages.
=====
The Religious Fanatic scenario is about mid way between the
psychotic and the suicidal case. However in this case one does
not ever fulfill prophecy. One does as many things that
contradict prophecy as possible.
What one does do is put it back to a purely civil matter and
NEVER EVER attack their religious beliefs as was done regularly
in press releases and news conferences. One does not call a true
believer a nutcase any more than one directly challenges a
creationist and expect acceptance.
=====
So let us go on to the minor violent psychotic scenario.
What the government does NOT do is to insult a violent psychotic
much less a group of them.
In that vein one does not say they are hiding behind
children.
They do not say they are hiding behind women.
Since women were joining the cult independently one does not
insult female psychotics by saying the men are hiding behind them
when they are bragging as to which woman got which government
bastard.
So what should have been done? A total and complete scare
campaign, a war of nerves, random gun fire in the middle of the
night, blanks or the real thing through the wall above head level
(that is what snipers are for but if they are truly psychotic
sometimes you have to penetrate a few skulls.)
This is better known as the snake pit treatment. If in fact
they are truly psychotic (which I am not proposing) then
demonstrating the penalty of the psychosis they have chosen is
the best way to handle it.
=====
Let us go on to the child abuse allegation even though it is
not a Federal matter and never has been.
Child abusers are most commonly into open denial or blaming
it on the children. One does not openly confront a child abuser
with his behavior unless in control of the situation.
Rather the government should have treated them as very
normal parents — all of them. And then assure them the
allegations would be handled by the appropriate state
authorities — but in the mean time … come up with something
appropriate like regular visitation by social workers, perhaps a
couple of live in social workers just to be sure, plenty of
options to negotiate.
=====
Going on to the methamphetamine lab allegation …
=====
No, I will not go into that one or any other. I have
covered the major ones the gov has floated more than once and the
drug lab was so absurd they never repeated it.
So what could the government have done? I would suggest it
is very simple, whatever is appropriate to what they really
believe as opposed to what they said.

I am just putting together what I am hearing in the news.
Two weeks ago I hear the US has an agreement with Jamaica to
use the port of Kingston to screen refugees. Then I hear in one
news report of a ship load of Marines and a hospital ship are
going to meet off of Haiti to do the screening. Next I hear of
143 medical personnel being sent to Guantanamo to screen
refugees.
Either there is going to be an invasion or we are evacuating
the island.

I can not discuss this point. I do not follow senior

Let me tell you a story. You do not have to believe it but
to the best of my knowledge and recounting it is true.
There is a board named the Elite Few in Alexandria,
Virginia, a DC suburb. Given its start and evolution I was a
charter member. About five years ago a man named William Frank
logged on. He was a lawyer who produced a pro-environment
newsletter.
We did not have much in common on the environment (and the
sysop at the time and I saw eye to eye on such matters.) He
tells me he is interested in joining the EPA to introduce the
legal argument of liability from the beginning of time.
Piracy was the nicest thing I said about the matter.
After about of month of slamming him the SYSOP posted to me
messages they had exchanged. It seems he privately asked the
SYSOP a few simple questions and he responded with the logical
obvious answer, make them liable from the past. The SYSOP is a
good friend and sent this to me as an apology for, in his words,
creating a monster.
THAT is where it started. The truly guilty party is now
working in Kentucky.

“David? There is a phone call for you in your office.”
“This is David.”
“David, I met a TV guy on my way to the grocery. He asked
directions to Mt. Carmel. He said something big is coming coming
down there but he didn’t know what. I’ll get back as soon as I
can.”
“No hurry, Jim, take your time. Did he know who is
coming?”
“No. He said they never tell cameramen anything.”
“Finish up whatever you are doing and get back when you can.
I’ll take care of everything.”
David returned to the front living room and shook hands with
the “secret” agent. “I have enjoyed our conversations. It looks
like you have work to do outside. Good luck to you.” The secret
agent almost protested his innocence but thought better of it and
gripped David’s hand harder. “Good luck to you all.”
After the agent left he said to Wayne, “There goes a good
man. I don’t think he really liked being a Judas to us. Too bad
he couldn’t say who he works for. I might have saved him if he
had.”
“You can’t save everyone, David.”
“Thanks, Wayne, but when God works through me anything is
possible. Would you ask Sarah to put up a pot of coffee for our
guests?”
“Certainly, David.”
David retired to his upstairs room to pray for strength and
guidance. He offered some prayers almost every hour. It inspired
him. And now the Lord was sending him many converts and he had a
chance to testify for the Lord on camera. The Lord was sending
him a test and a gift. He was thankful.
His prayers lasted hardly ten minutes when he heard
firecrakers outside. He was indigent. The kids were supposed
to be in the chapel for Sunday School. He went down the stairs
working up a mood of righteous anger that he hoped was stern
enough to impress them this time.
Heading for the front door he was stopped by Wayne. “David
there are men outside, lots of them. They shot our dogs.”
Now he was trying to control rage. What right did anyone
have to come onto a man’s property and shoot his animals?
He swung open the front door and demanded, “What’s going on
here.” Suddenly pain in his wrist and then again in his
shoulder. He fell to the floor kicking the door shut seeing
bullet holes appear in the door above him. He crawled away from
the door using his good arm.
“Wayne! Did you see who they are?”
“No. How badly are you hurt?”
“I don’t know yet.”
They heard a loud noise from the direction of the chapel
followed by the screams of women and children.
“That sounded like an explosion, Dave.”
“My God, what are those people?”
“See what happened. Tell Steve to open the armory to the
men. Tell them to hold their fire unless someone is hurt.”
From the top of the stairs Amy was screaming his name.
“Everything will be fine, Amy. The Lord will see us through
this.”
“David! They are shooting at us and the babies up here!”
Now was the time for the calm the Lord had taught him in his
ministry. “Tell everyone to get down on the floor and pray. I
will get help.”
He got to his feet and ran squat to the nearest phone in
Wayne’s office bullets coming through the windows and walls. He
brushed a curtain and it immediately drew machine gun fire.
Getting to the office he heard the sound of helicopters and
the sound of different gunfire. Amy screamed again, “They hit
me, David, they hit me trough the ceiling!” From down the
hallway he heard a man shout, “Enough!,” and the sound of a large
bore rifle.
Koresh blessed his aim and immediately regretted the
thought.
He tried to dial with his right hand but his arm would not
move, numb now, the pain had not started. He tried to turn
himself to use his left and he fell to the floor with the pain in
his side. Lay still and pulled the phone to the floor by its
cord to where he could use his left.
“Tell them to call it off. We told you we would talk. You
didn’t have to do this.”
“Who is this?”
“This is David Koresh at Mt. Carmel. They are shooting at
us out here. You’ve killed my children. Call it off.”
“Who is doing it, David.”
“I don’t know. Call it off.”
“Are you shooting back?”
“Now we are.”
The helicopters were coming back firing and firing through
the roof. Sounds of explosions were making the house shake.
Bullets continued to come through the walls.
The return fire was becoming more frequent. To himself,
“Lord forgive me but I hope we kill them all.”
“You stay on the phone, David, I’ll try to contact them.”
“Who are they.”
“That doesn’t matter now. I’ll be back to you.”
Wayne returned to report.
“I couldn’t stop them from shooting, David. When they heard
Amy scream I couldn’t do a thing.”
“You tried, Wayne, now get your gun and try to keep us alive
until help gets here.”
“David, I think those people outside are the help.”

And just how do you know that? The only thing I have seen

guns be loaded or unloaded? Who will give the order to load?
Who will the people in the middle of this mingling mob be
aiming at? Who will give the order to fire?
Linda Thompson? How many would recognize her face much less
her voice?
BB> Arrests of political activists is a long tradition.
This is an insurrection. It should be the final step after
politics fails not the first step.
It
BB> will put Linda Thompson in the news, all across the nation.
“The BATF announce today their inspection of the Thompson
cult members indicated most were assault weapons of the type
recently put under severe regulation by the government because
their only purpose is to kill people. The survivors have been
put into detention while it is determined what charges to file
against them. No press contact has been allowed.”
BB> The real danger is that they DON’T arrest her and the
BB> others. Trials = news = propaganda = victory for liberty.
And of course the Davidian trial exonerated them all in the
public mind. Perhaps you would like to hold the Weaver trial
exonerated him in the public mind? The one local station I know
that covered it reported he was found guilty of murder. Do you
have another example in mind?
BB> MG> These activists will be dead if they try it.

If after making their decisions the first thing they had

At least the Norplant idea was not half bad in that it is
not liable to the “suffering of the new babies” arguments.
Let it be implemented. Then in a few years, the “suffering”
argument will be used to increase child support beyond present
levels for the extras.
Then another limiting child limiting proposal will be made.

His arm had changed from numb to ache to pain. While
holding on the phone he wrapped he belt above the hole to stop the
bleeding. It was not until then he realized he was laying in a
pool of his own blood. “Lord do not let me go into shock, I beg
you.” He felt calm returning.
He barely heard his name being called over the gunfire.
Picking up the phone he said in a calmer voice, “This is David.”
“Good, David, I am trying to raise them on the radio now.
We are having trouble getting through.”
“Are they refusing to answer?”
“I can’t say that, David.”
“We knew you were coming you know. We knew you were coming
to kill us before you knew you were coming.”
“No one is coming to kill you, David.”
“You have killed many of us already. We knew you were going
to do that.”
“David, David, please don’t do anything rash.”
“I have forgiven you as the has Lord commanded. We are only
shooting to defend ourselves now.”
“I know you can’t stop shooting. I’m still trying to get
them to answer their radio.”
“Who are they?”
“It is the government, David. I am certain they are good
men thinking they are doing the right thing.”
“That is what Weaver thought.”
“Who, David?”
“The government murdered his family.”
“Did you know him, David?”
“Only in Christ.”
“My name is Lynch.”
“Your name is part of the government.”
“That’s not fair, David.”
Wayne returned crawling on his belly cradling his .30-30 in
his best imitation of a raw recruit.
“Better get your backside down.”
Wayne flopped.
“The shooting is slowing. I can’t keep the men from
targeting the ones that aren’t firing. They are angry. I can’t
control them.”
Picking up the phone, “Lynch?”
“Lynch here.”
“That cease fire has to happen soon. I can’t control my
people. Your government is running out of ammunition. They are
trying to kill them. If there is no cease fire I will not be
able to save your government friends. If I could get to them, I
could stop them but if I stand up I die and I can’t bend my waist
from the pain. You have to get the cease fire now.”
“I’ll try saying that over the radio.”
“Thank you, Lynch”
“Wayne, find Steve and the two of you stop as many as you
can. Do your best.”
The telephone spoke again.
“Yes Lynch.”
“They answered this time. They will agree to a cease fire.
Now you have to get your men to stop firing.”
“Your people first, Lynch. I can’t get around the house
very fast.”
“I’ll tell them, David.”
“David, they say you have to stop shooting first.”
Outside the helicopters were coming back. “Lynch, if those
helicopters are coming again. If they do not turn back I will
not stop my people. Tell them. I will not let you murder any
more of us.”
In a moment the helicopters sound began to lessen, they were
leaving.
“They said they would, David.”
“Thank you. I will try to get my men to stop firing first.
I can’t promise. We did not start this.”
“I’m sure you didn’t, David.”
“What are we going to do, David?”
“Trust in the Lord, Wayne.”

Another report from today’s paper, this related to the Waco raid.
Agent in Davidian raid suing media
(Associated Press)
Waco, Texas – The undercover agent who infiltrated the Branch Davidian
sect before an unsuccessful raid last year has sued two media outlets and
an ambulance service.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agent Robert Rodriguez blames
the Waco Tribune-Herald, KWTX-TV and American Medical Transport for causing
a confrontation between federal agents and Branch Davidians in an attempt
to make money from the coverage of the conflict.
He is suing for unspecified damages, claiming emotional distress and
mental anguish.
Waco attorney James Dunnam, who represents Rodriguez, has alleged the
media is to blame for alerting Koresh about the raid while Rodriguez was
still inside the compound.
“Robert Rodriguez is sitting there with David Koresh … when they were
tipped off wondering if he is going to get his head blown off,” Dunnam
said. “Did he create that situation?”
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court in Waco, is the fourth
against the newspaper and TV station in connection with the raid, and the
second to name the ambulance service, which federal investigators found
tipped KWTX to the raid.
The sidebar says that the paper and TV station are owned respectively by
Cox Texas Publications and Cox Enterprises.
So now the feds want to blame the media, huh? What happpened to Janet
Reno being “responsible”?

When David had recovered he agreed with Wayne and was his
old, serene self in judging that trying to turn Wayne into a
Judas was to be expected of those who would kill him. He had
laughed a bit to learn he had not been shot.
They listened to the daily briefings primarily for the
amusement of what would be mentioned next. The funniest one when
they heard it was the “not quite a denial” that mass suicide was
expected with a Jim Jones reference. Amusement turned to anger
as every day that question was asked again and not quite denied.
What did not amuse them was the unqualified statement they
were manufacturing drugs. “Based upon infrared photos … they
are manufacturing methamphetamine a controlled class 1 substance
in the same category as heroin.” David had picked up the phone
immediately and demanded to know why that story was being told.
“We have very good reasons. You will see the reasons in a
couple days.”
“Why would you lie?”
“Have you resurrected your son yet?”
“Bastards!” slamming down the phone with a “Lord forgive me”
under his breath.
“Steve is an engineer. See if he can think of anything we
are doing that might give them that drug idea.”
“Will do.”
Of course the answer was none. But even more Steve offered
the opinion that it was flatly impossible for infrared to detect
any such thing unless they were producing it by the ton.
“Those folks will use infrared to justify anything.”
Two days later the briefing contained the following news.
“The US Army has provided a tank and several CEVs to assist in
the siege of the compound at Waco.” “Impossible,” Wayne had
commented at first. A few hours later he got back to David.
“Now it makes sense. It is a federal felony to use the
military in civilian law enforcement except in one case.
Remember when they stated factually we were manufacturing drugs?
That is the one and only exception to the law. They lied about
us violating the drug laws so they can violate the Posse
Comitatus law.”
“Wayne, the more I think of this the less chance I think we
have a fair trial. I think if we surrender now, they are going
to continue to tell these lies in court and we are going to spend
our lives there. I had been considering surrender but no longer.
We might as well spend our lives here as in prison.”
“Agreed, David.”
“I’ll explain it to everyone tomorrow. It will be their
choice if they want to leave.”

While David was still recovery Wayne took over negotiations
with the FBI. In the morning the FBI had given the press
briefing and essentially announced that all would soon be well as
they were in charge. The recounted the same false account of
events as the BATF. It was obvious the FBI was was not here to
investigate. They were here to blame the Davidians.
When they called in the afternoon Wayne challenged them,
“Why are not investigating what happened? Why are you not asking
for our side of it?” The response was another demand to
surrender.
Putting on his attorney’s hat he asked, “To what charges do
you want us to surrender?”
The answer was long but the highlights were murder of
federal agents, ambush of federal agents, possession of
controlled weapons. In his head Wayne added up the entire list
to life plus sixty years. And then he asked, “How many BATF have
you arrested?” “None of course.”
“Will you entertain conducting an investigation of the
events and filing charges based upon our description of events?”
“Of course not.”
“Why will you not do so?”
“The BATF is the government. The government takes care of
its own.”
“I think you have made your position clear. It will take
some time to consider it.”
“Don’t take forever. We will not let you get away with
this.”
“I hear you.”
As Wayne mulled it over several facts were clear. The lies
of the BATF were being accepted as gospel. The entire government
was working to cover up the murders of one child and three
adults. If they did not surrender to life in prison the
government would make things worse for them. Not one word the
government was saying was true. It was reasonable to expect they
would perjure themselves in court with the same lies. It was one
group’s word against another.
And then there were the radio reports and talk shows. It
appeared people were believing the lies. It was a no win
situation. There appeared no hope of a fair trial.
He called back and said he would have to wait to consult
with David when he had recovered.
“We know he isn’t hurt. There is no reason to wait for a
man who opened fire on the BATF.”
“That is not what happened, Wayne insisted.”
“That is the official truth. We own the judge and the
courts. However I am able to offer you an agreement if you will
testify against Koresh.”
Wayne slammed down the phone.

June 13, 1994— COMMITTEE DEMANDS ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET
RENO RESIGN OVER PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT IN TRIAL OF BRANCH
DAVIDIANS
Washington, D.C.–
On Thursday, June 16, the first day of sentencing of eight
Branch Davidians, members of the Committee for Waco Justice
will leaflet the U.S. Department of Justice located at
Pennsylvania and 10th streets from 12:30 to 1:30p.m. We are
demanding the resignation of Attorney General Janet Reno for
her role in condoning– and perhaps evenpromoting–
prosecutorial misconduct in the trial of eleven Branch
Davidians accused of conspiracy to murder federal agents.
All were found innocent of that charge.
Eight Davidians were found guilty of weapons charges –five
of those of aiding and abetting voluntary manslaughter.
Depending on the weapons allegedly used, defendants could
face from five to thirty years in prison. Some defendants
are expected to present new evidence that might exonerate
them during “allocution” before sentencing. Committee
members believe federal prosecutors Ray Jahn, LeRoy Jahn,
William Johnston and John Finizy, who work under Janet Reno,
engaged in or condoned the following acts of misconduct:
Group trial –this unjust tactic was used to prevent
defendants who could testify to other defendants’ innocence
from taking the stand since once they did so prosecutors
could force them to present self-incriminating evidence.
Destruction of evidence –the steel front door, which was
evidence BATF agents shot first and/or indiscriminately, was
never found, despite federal agents complete control of the
crime scene; while BATF originally claimed it had video of
the first minutes of the raid, prosecutors claimed at trial
equipment had failed and such video did not exist; similarly
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) claims its
surveillance devices failed right before the April 19th
fire, destroying any evidence of Davidians innocence of
starting the fire; prosecutors were at Mount Carmel the day
FBI tanks destroyed the building and with it definitive
evidence that federal agents fired indiscriminately and from
helicopters.
Withholding evidence from the defense –prosecutors
frequently broke the “Brady Rule” requiring prosecutors to
give the defense the chance to inspect all evidence against
the defendants. They did not tell defense attorneys, or
delayed until the last minute, that: two BATF agents had
changed their stories of who shot first; that they had two
witnesses who could identify a defendant; that they had
evidence to prove one of those witnesses could not initially
identify that defendant; that they had a written transcript
of their “star” witness’s early testimony — testimony
whichd iffered greatly from that she would present at the
trial.
Also, they would not allow a weapons expert hired by
defense attorneys to take off the plastic wrapping to
inspect the guns thoroughly. And the medical examiner
claimed that deceased Branch Davidian Perry Jones had only a
mouth wound, despite many Branch Davidians’ claim that the
unarmed Jones, who was standing next to the unarmed David
Koresh as he answered the door, was killed by the first
barrage of BATF gunfire through the now-missing front door.
The family currently cannot afford an independent autopsy.
Influencing Witnesses –two BATF agents changed their
original stories about the February 28th raid months later,
after speaking with federal agents and probably prosecutors;
an audio expert who earns more than $100,000 a year working
for the FBI created a transcript of surveillance tapes which
claimed largely inaudible statements were proof Davidians
spread fuel and started a fire, but ignored one Davidians’
audible statement he might use a “Molotov cocktail” in
self-defense against rampaging tanks.
Possible Pressure on Judge –On February 26th U.S.
District Judge Walter Smith let the Jury go after promising
defense attorneys he would dismiss a weapons conviction
Jurors had voted for, contrary to his instructions. The
Prosecution agreed to his decision. After conferring with
the Justice Department, prosecutors demanded Smith reinstate
the verdicts. Smith had barely escaped Justice Department
prosecution himself a few weeks before on charges of lying
under oath. He acceded to federal prosecutors’ demand. The
Committee for Waco Justice has discovered that Janet Reno
and other Justice Department and FBI officials in the
Washington FBI Operations Center had a “live audio feed” to
surveillance devices and could hear everything taped inside
Mount Carmel Center the morning of the fire as it happened:
Davidians’ calls for negotiations, tanks smashing the
building, children crying, people praying — and any plans
for setting fires or using Molotv cocktails.
Reno and her deputies should be prosecuted for violating
the rights of innocent individuals killed in the fire —
whether it was started by FBI tanks knocking over lanterns
as Davidians claim or by Davidian actions of which Janet
Reno and others had foreknowledge. Reno and other officials
and agents are being sued in civil courts for over one
billion dollars by relatives of deceased Branch Davidians.
They hold her and others responsible whether the fire was
started purposively or accidentally. Some are suing for the
deaths of women and children killed when a tank collapsed
part of the roof of the concrete room before the fire
started.
The Committee for Waco Justice believes that any individual
who would allow five 50 ton tanks to rampage through a
building filled with women and children probably would
condone and even promote prosecutorial misconduct to cover
up her crimes and blame her victims. Janet Reno is not a
hero. She should resign immediately. The Committee for
Waco Justice supports the draft bill to create an
independent “Waco Investigation Commission” empowered to
fully investigate government crimes against the Branch
Davidians and report to Congress with recommendations for

So why do not NRA members sponsor and advertise a gun turn
in program? Think about it. You can trade something dumb (gift
certificates worth less than a sale discount or teddy bears) and
stupid for guns. It is a legitimate trade.
Certainly there can be careful conditions in the advertising
such as “working condition” and the members can determine that at
the time of turn in with a consolation prize of a free Big Mac or
something like that. I presume there are some legalities
involved such as having an FFL type involved in the acceptance
but it should not be too hard to cover contingencies.
As for public relations, they are guaranteed to only be
resold to NRA members (known responsible) and the profits will go
to gun safety programs.
If people do not want guns we certainly do not want them to
have them. If they can be offered something of value in exchange
everyone is happy and they have contributed to gun safety.

If anyone in the Washington, D.C. area has a scanner to read an article
into the board there is one in the Washington Times, June 13 issure,
page A9 on what the cops are doing on house searches for guns as
reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Briefly, deals with getting
consent forms signed by residents to search for “illegal” guns. Quote:
“Only a few have said no- and of course police keep a close eye on them.
“We figure they have something to hide,” said Lt. Joseph Richardson….”

also.

Defense is not Abuse
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/22>
While the nation is attempting to avert wars in both Haiti
and Korea the attention of the nation is riveted on O. J.
Simpson. As expected the professional whiners are on the talk
shows talking about spousal abuse. And of course the evil male
is guilty again.
The innocence of the woman is presumptive. It is axiomatic
that a woman can do nothing to deserve physical abuse. I have to
ask, how can a man ever deserve verbal abuse from a woman?
The scold or shrew is a well known character in literature.
How common they are in real life has not been the subject of any
study. A question we can discuss is how many women aspire to
being victims?
Every time you see or read or hear of a woman telling about
how she was beaten you have a professional victim. Can it happen
once? Certainly but those are not professional victims. Those
that go through relationship after relationship with the same
results are professional victims.
Why? Listen to the explanation as to why so many next time.
“I didn’t understand the kind of men I was seeking out.” Note
that makes them even a victim of themselves.
She is now the consummate victim. And when they go public
they get public humiliation and all the pity they can wallow in.
It has to be seriously asked if they sought out the wrong kind of
man or whether any kind of man would do and those men provoked
into violence. Back to the axiom, no woman can do anything to
deserve physical abuse.
I would rather ask if woman can provoke being beaten. I
note there is nothing that can stop a determined women from
continuing such provocation until successful.
What does she get out of it? First, the attention of
friends, neighbors and the police. Second, the courts
automatically side with the poor, weeping victim on the stand.
Third, if the man should want to get back into his own home and
see his own children again it will be on her terms.
Can a woman be stopped with anything short of violence?
Court relief from the common scold ceased a couple centuries ago.
In the past we had a recognized crime that certainly can lead to
domestic violence. Today we have no injunctive relief for it. I
am not suggesting bringing back the scold’s bridle but certainly
there is something between that and being laughed out of domestic
relations court.
It would appear only reasonable in law to remove the
presumption of victim status from the woman. It should be
recognized that women can just as easily be the cause of the
abuse they receive. Or shall it continued to be presumed that no
man should ever snap under vicious verbal abuse every waking
moment while knowing there will be no end until the woman gets
the victim status she wants?

*** John E. Mack and the New World Order UFO’s ***
In the Mar/Apr. issue of PSYCHOLOGY TODAY we have a sympathetic
article (pg.46-48,74-76 excerpts below). This reveals a man who has
never had a spiritual base but has viewed spiritualism as “stories”
throughout his life and career and whom has been affiliated with
a plethora of positions where he was associated with MIND CONTROL
experimentation financed by Richard Nixon’s LEAA ( Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration ) to the tune of some $6 Billion from it’s
inception in 1968 by the Department of Justice and whose moneys
were directed at BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION research projects. Dr. Mack
became “interested in alternate conciousness” programs around this
time and has continued to be involved with programs financed by the
MILITARY and CIA for use as weapons and behaviour modifiers.
—————-Excerpts from Psychology Today ———————–
THE HARVARD PROFESSOR AND THE UFO’S ( Mar/Apr 1994 Psychology Today )
Mack was one of the men who forged Harvard’s Cambridge Hospital Depar-
tament of Psychiatry into a premier teaching hospital … and for four
years he was its head. He’s been a member of the Boston Psychoanalytic
Institute, certified as a Child Psychoanalyst and Chairman of the
Exexcutive Committee for all five hospital-based departments of
psychiatry … He’s also a high-profile idealist who’s been at the
forefront of efforts by his peers for GLOBAL PEACE AND CONSERVATION.
[emphasis added] He is founding Director of the Center for Psychological
Studies in the Nuclear Age and a member of Physicians for Social
Responsibility and International Physicians for the Prevention of
Nuclear War.
[…]
The list of accomplishments doesn’t stop there; Mack has published
over 150 articles and books on subjects ranging from nightmares to
teenagers who kill thier mothers to Russian children’s feelings
about nuclear weapons.
[…]
Can hypnosis recover repressed memories of sexual abuse, satanic
ritual abuse,past life abuse, and abuse at the hand’s of aliens ? In
a tabloid culture, recovered memories have led to accusations and
court cases so damaging and sordid they’ve been compared to the
witch-hunts of another age.
John Mack’s UFO work rests in great part of on the validity of
hypnosis as a tool to recover memory.
[…]
I’D BEEN CHASING JOHN MACK FOR months before he agreed to an
interview. One of his assistants, Karen Wesolowski, at a branch of
The Center for Psychology and Social Change, his own private umbrella
organization for UFO research, had been stonewalling me , supposedly
because he was under crushing pressure to finish his book, for which
Scribners had reportedly paid him a handsome $200,000.
[…]
The first time I spoke with Karen on the phone, I heard the clacking
of computer keys; she was taking down every word I said. She asked
more preliminary “who are you and what do you want” questions than
I’d encountered in a decade of reporting. She called Psychology Today
and asked to see samples of my work. She instructed me not to talk to
Dr. Mack’s department head, Malka Notman, M.D., until he had a meeting
with her first.
[…]
He was raised in a rationalist, German-Jewish, New York household,
where his father read him the Bible, not because he believed in God
but because the stories were fascinating … He went on to specialize
in child psychoanalysis.
[…]
Later he began to work on issues of nuclear disarmament, global peace
and conservation. He has travelled the world attending conferences on
ecology and the Earth, mingling with everyone from scientists to
philosophers, philanthropists and economists.
He also began to explore alternative approaches to conciousness. In
the 1970’s Mack was taken with Werner Erhard’s est and associated
MIND-ALTERING TECHNIQUES. (emphasis added)
[…]
Mack begs the question of past lives here. He says that at the time he
was in Russia as part of an exchange project, sponsored by Esalen, to
talk about the impact of the nuclear arms race on children.
His conciousness, he told me, “travelled in time to identify this
Russian man. After that experience I felt great empathy for the
Russians …
[…]
Today he calls himself a “co-investigator and co-creator” in the
abduction phenomenon.
[…]
Mack’s history he admits, has prepared him for exactly this work. One
almost wonders if he could have resisted it … He is now … a
participant in an ecological and global transformation that he sees
as part of a cosmic plan.
—————-End of Psychology Today Excerpts ——————
* UFO “work” based on “recovered memory” work now largely discredited.
* Work history on control of nightmares and violence, induction and
control of childrens emotions.
* Long history of involvement with “One-World / One Government” groups.
* Long history of study of “alternative-conciousness” techniques, also
known as Psycho-Weaponry by the Military and DOJ who have funded this
type of work at Harvard and other places.
* Claims of time-travel and past-life existence.
* Demonstrated history of antagonism with organised Religion and in
statements I monitored in his interview on WWWE Cleveland 1100 AM
a few weeks ago he stated satan was merely the “dark side” of
conciousness which had to be “integrated” for spiritual development.
* Has no explanation why aliens never abduct homosexuals for sperm to
be used to “breed” alien hybrids. Are aliens anti-sodomite ?
* No explanation why aliens only became interested in Ecology as the
UN and other NGO’s pushed the agenda. It seems they had no interest
in “social issues” until those in Political office did.
* No explanation why so-called “advanced aliens” have never transferred
any useful technology to help “save” the Earth with which they claim
to be so concerned. Solar power, AIDS cure, cheaper PROZAC …
* No explanation why aliens sexually abuse children and continue to
stalk and rape them throughout their lives without consent.

Committee of 50 States
Newsletter – Volume 1, Number 2, June 1994 by Joseph Stumph
As we promised in the first newsletter you will find a copy of the Walter
Williams column which appeared in some 100 newspapers nationwide around the
first of 1994. As a result of his column we have received many inquiries
about our work to get 38 states to adopt the Ultimatum Resolution.
We are making good progress in getting the states to adopt the position that
they, not the federal government, are the superior in our state-federal
relationship. If we only succeed in reversing the psychology which presently
exists at the state level; that is, that the federal government is superior
to the states, we will have won a great victory. In getting the states to
realize that they are the PRINCIPALS, and the federal government is only an
AGENT, it is a tremendous step in the right direction.
Representative Charles Duke of Colorado was introduced to the Ultimatum
Resolution by one of his constituents around December 1993. Shortly
thereafter he called and said he was going to introduce it in Colorado.
Later he decided it might be impossible to get it through Committe in the
House as the Committee Chairman was strongly against it. Nevertheless, he
went forward with a proposal which had no “teeth” in it, but still sends a
strong message to the federal government, and is a good first step toward
reversing the present roles of federal and state governments.
Mr. Duke’s sovereignty resolution, or 10th Amendment resolution known as
House Joint Resolution 94-1035 reads in part:
. . .WHEREAS, the 10th Amendment defines the total scope of federal
power as being that specifically granted by the United States
Constitution and no more; and
WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the 10th Amendment means that
the federal government was created by the states specifically to be
an agent of the states; and
WHEREAS, Today, in 1994, the states are demonstrably treated as agents
of the federal government; and
WHEREAS, Numerous resolutions have been forwarded to the federal
government by the Colorado General Assembly without any response or
result from Congress or the federal government; and (shades of King
George of England in 1776)
WHEREAS, Many federal mandates are directly in violation of the 10th
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v.
United States, 112 S. St. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply
commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states;
and. . .
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the Fifty-ninth
General Assembly of the State of Colorado, the Senate concurring herein:
(1) That the State of Colorado hereby claims sovereignty under the
10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers
not otherwise enumerated and granted in the federal government by the
United States Constitution.
(2) That this serves as Notice and Demand to the federal government,
as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that
are beyond the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers.
Be it firther resolved, that copies of this Resolution be sent to the
President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House
of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, the
Speaker of the House, and the President of the Senate of each state’s
legislature of the United States of America, and Colorado’s
Congressional delegation.
This Resolution passed the House April 8, 1994 by a vote of 51-13. It later
passed the Senate 25-7.
In sending the Colorado Resolution to leadership in all 50 states, many of
these states are, or will, consider passing similar resolutions.
For example, Hawaii passed May 2, 1994 Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 108.
The strongest part of the Hawaiian Resolution reads: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
that all compulsory federal legislation which directs states to comply under
threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to
pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited. . .
One reason Hawaiian legislators are anxious to send a message to Washington
is, reading from the Resolution: “Whereas, in a letter to the Honolulu
Advertiser, Governor John Waihee states that the cost factor associated with
complying with federal mandates will cost the State of Hawaii $377 million
or approximately twelve per cent of the 1994 state budget;”. . .
All the states are laboring under more and more unfunded federal mandates
which are causing even many socialist and liberal state legislators to ask,
“What can we do?” The Ultimatum Resolution is meant to wake up state
legislators that they, not Washington, have all the power, and that
Washington exists only at their pleasure.
Dr. Ronald Carlson, a dental surgeon in Honolulu, the State Coordinator for
the Committee of 50 States, and a wonderful group of activist patriots
working with him can be credited for the passage of the Hawaiian Sovereignty
Resolution. They have put in many hours in meeting with and educating a
number of Hawaiian state legislators. Ron and our Committee did their best
to get Hawaii to “go for the gold” with the Ultimatum Resolution. We are
very proud of them for getting us “half-a-loaf” with the Sovereignty
Resolution.

Roman Haslag and his wife Taz, our Missouri State Coordinators, personally
delivered flyers to each of their 197 Missouri legislators. Between them
and the influence of Charles Duke’s Colorado Resolution, Missouri passed a
resolution nearly identical to that of Colorado on May 13, 1994. In the
House it was 153-1. Senate, 27-0. Hallelujah!
At last count in California, Senator Don Rogers was leading a sovereignty
resolution adoption nearly identical to that of Colorado with 22 Senate
co-sponsors and 40 co-sponsors in this Assembly.
In Florida, Representatives Bill Posey and Stan Bainter succeeded in getting
24 co-sponsors for “the gold” itself, the Ultimatum Resolution. These good
men are doing all they can to get Florida to stand up to the federal bully.
Please encourage thm in their excellent work.
The Arizona State Legislature was the host of Western States Summit II, May
19 and 20. Arizona governor Fife Symington and Utah governor Michael
Leavitt addressed this convention attended by some 350 state legislators and
county commissioners, miners and ranchers, etc. from all over the west. As
in the first conference held in Denver in February 1994, elected leaders and
others are trying to come to some sort of consensus on the best way to get
the federal government under control.
Both governors presented good plans which point us in the right direction.
Governor Leavitt in particular is calling for a convention of states to get
together to figure out what to do. He thinks, perhaps, an amendment to the
Constitution which will strengthen the Tenth Amendment could be the thing to
do.
Such an approach is good but will accomplish nothing. The elitists in
control of our government are determined to control the entire planet and
the only thing which can possibly hold them back is for at least 38 states
to take a stand as we suggest and tell the feds exactly how it is; that we
are all fed up; have taken all the federal oppression and tyranny and
outlandish taxation we intend to take, and in power, under law, and with
firmness tell the federal government we mean to put them back in their
constitutional cage, or dissolve the entire federal structure and start
over.
Nevertheless, Governors Leavitt and Syimgton have their STATE’S RIGHTS
thinking caps on and we should encourage and applaud them as they grow in
knowledge as to how the game should be played, and we hope, with the courage
to stand and fight. It is doubtful that either governor has the insight or
knowledge of the evil nature of the global elitists or their determination
to RULE and RUIN this planet. It is important that we let them know we are
behind them, for as they begin to put heat on the federal government, they,
in turn, will feel tremendous heat and pressure to back off and let the rich
men of the earth have their way.
We have 23 states in which we have wonderful patriots who have accepted the
responsibility to be State Coordinators for the Committee of 50 States.
They are listed below. Please contact these leaders is your state is
represented and volunter to help them get your state to pass the Ultimatum
Resolution. We need Coordinators in the other 27 states. If you can refer
us to knowledgeable patriots who might have the time to act as leaders in
these states, please refer them to us.

Most of the state legislatures have adjourned for 1994. Now is the time to
approach your personal state representative, or those likely to be elected
in the 1994 November elections, and ask them to co-sponsor the Ultimatum
Resolution in 1995.
Our goal is to get the Ultimatum Resolution introduced in all 50 states in
1995 and actually get it passed by at least 38 states during the 1996 state
legislative sessions.
We have only about 7,400 people to concentrate on in all 50 states. There
are at least 5,000,000 well-informed patriots across America who vote for
these 7,400 legislators. Surely, 5,000,000 people encouraging 7,400 to vote
for the Ultimatum Resolution is sufficient to get the job done. Please do
your part. Go personally, and visit your two state legislators. They are
local, common people just like most of us. Since you vote for them they are
anxious to please you. Let them know you’re alive, friendly and diplomatic
and you want the Constitution preserved and federal deficit spending stopped.
To all of you who sent in $5.00 for a subscription to this newsletter, we
thank you for your support and faith in the cause of freedom. Your
financial contributions are so gratefully accepted and appreciated because

NEW WORLD ORDER MOVES IN HAWAII!!
The Christian Volunteers Information Service
Reported by Lynn Shaffer
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
8 JUNE 1994, 12:AM
Late this afternoon at approx 4:30 pm a swat style raid was
conducted by various agencies of the U.S. government at a Hawaii
Kai residence. Ivy West and her daughter returned to their rented
home and entered the premises as nothing appeared out of the ordinary.
Agents suddenly appeared brandishing firearms, they were actually
already in and around the house. According to her daughter, the
multi-agency team was made up of IRS, BATF, and FBI, etc, who were
very heavily armed and wearing body armor. They also were equiped
with laptop computers, and surveillance equipment. They allegedly had
search warrants and only asked if there were weapons on the premises.
(None were found.) It is not know at this time whether the warrants
were legal and/or properly served. Agents searched and ransacked
the 3 level home which contained a number of roomates who were home
at the time.
Miss West remains in a Honolulu jail where they are claiming to
be able to hold her for 48 hours without charges. No charges have
yet been filed. They are not allowing her any visitors or phone calls
at this time.
Agents confiscated documents, personal records, and computer
—————————————————————
equipment, fax machine, phones, etc. Agents prepared an itemized
——————————————————————
list of things taken which was labled: “Tax Propaganda”. Among
——————————————————————
the items stolen were Videos such as “Waco, The Big Lie”, “Waco II”,
——————————————————————
and videos concerning the Weaver murders/seige. Ivy had recently
——————————————————————
been conducting radio interviews with attorney Linda Thompson and
——————————————————————
discussing the ever increasing abuse of power by “our” government.
——————————————————————
[END]
Editor’s note: Is Ivy being made an example of as warning to
all of us who are on the front lines here in Hawaii? Please keep
her and this situation in your prayers…
GBY!

Carrying in a portable radio Wayne demanded, “Listen to
this. They are saying we started it.”
It was a press conference called by the government, the BATF
it turned out. Now the speaker plainly stating they were fired
upon with a .50 caliber machinegun from the tower.
“Wayne, was their anyone in the tower?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Then what could have given them the idea there was a
machinegun up there?”
“I don’t know.”
Next the speaker told of their suspicions of child abuse.
With that David came out of his bed before collapsing in
pain. “That again,” he whispered. Every time some busybody from
wants to come out here they bring up that story. I invited them
out here to look around last summer. Why did they have to kill
my children?” Infection was setting in. He was not the old
David Koresh now. He was weeping where David Koresh would have
shown strength. They had only aspirin for fever and pain.
“David, you have to rest but you have to hear this too. I
am sorry.”
“If I were Italian I would have named you my consiglieri
long ago.” An old joke but the best he could must for his
lawyer lieutenant.
The statement was opened for questioning. An unindentified
voice asked if there was a possibility of drugs being used. The
speaker denied it. “At least they don’t think we are drug
dealers.”
The phone rang. It was amazing it had survived given the
condition of David’s room. Bullet holes were everywhere.
Everything was stained with blood. The smell of noxious smoke
was everywhere. Two men severely wounded had been taken prisoner
and one body was found. None of his people had been in the room
until after the cease fire. What had happened was
unexplainable.
“This is David.”
“This is the BATF. You are ordered to surrender. Come out
unarmed with your hands up.”
“The Lord has commanded us to turn the other cheek but I can
not leave on my own. I will tell my people of your order. They
may comply if they feel the Lord commands it.”
“Koresh we know you are the leader and you can order them.”
“I can order them. But after the cease fire you murdered
two of my people. They were unarmed. If they wish to turn their
cheeks to murderers I will neither stop them nor counsel them to
do so, save to repeat the word of the Lord.”
“They were armed and shot at us. You broke the cease fire.”
“I do not send armed men to work on the water tower. My
people do not carry guns while off of our land.”
“They were armed.
“Have it as you will. Goodbye.”
“Wayne, can we call the people at the press conference and
tell them what really happened?”
“I have tried that. Every phone line is answer by them”
with a note of disgust. “We are cut off.”

c David was approaching a delerium state from the infection of
his wounds when the BATF called and offered him a radio address
in return for surrender. He was not certain of the terms of the
offer but there was enough of the old Koresh left to believe he
was being offered the opportunity to speak to the country. He
had many teachings and sermons prepared for the world.
Wayne came to his room. “David, try to listen to me. Did
you agree to surrender for radio time?”
A very tired “what” passed his lips.
“Did you agree to speak on the radio?”
“Yes. They asked for a teaching.”
“Did you agree to leave afterward?”
“We will all leave here some day.”
“No, David, listen to me. Did you make a deal to leave as
soon as your teaching was complete?”
“I do not remember. Who says I did?”
“It’s the damn radio again. They announced a deal. I can’t
believe they would be saying this knowing your condition.”
“The lord will give me the strength.”
===
The next day he found the presence of mind to take an
overdose of aspirin and struggle up from his state enough to
remember one of his teachings. He lost track of time and mixed
several different teachings and rambled on for almost three
hours. Stations that had agreed to carry it around the country
dropped it after the first half hour.
===
“David, listen to me. They are demanding we surrender now.
Can you tell me anything before I answer?”
David could not. The aspirin had worn off and he was gone.
Wayne called back and said that he could not confirm the
agreement with Dave and until he could he would make no decision
in his place.
At the next morning’s press conference Wayne was enraged by
two announcements. The first being that David had reneged on his
deal when that was not what had happened. The second did his
blood pressure even less good. It was announced the children
were being held hostage and that the FBI hostage rescue team was
being called in to take over.
The children being held hostage in their own home was the
worst lie he could imagine. But the new conference went on to
hint darkly of child abuse by David confined to his bed in a
state of delirium. There was not one word in the press briefing
of what Wayne had told them. There was not one truthful word in
the press conference. Wayne was fuming but he did not bother
David.

In the morning those who had chosen to leave and those who
had chosen to send out their children assembled in the chapel.
It had been the first priority for repair. The damage from the
grenades had been mostly painted over but many of the hundreds of
bullet holes were still left. They had not laid in enough
supplies to repair the results of an attack like this.
The adults who chose to leave said they trusted the
government and believed their rights would be protected. Those
who chose to send out their child felt the government would
certainly not harm them. The government had promised to put them
under house arrest and send the children to family member.
The adults who chose to stay believed with David and Wayne
that it was matter of where spend the rest of their lives. Those
who chose to keep their children said they would never trust
their own children in the hands of strangers.
David had pointed to the press briefings where the
government had said it was willing to wait forever. He repeated
his teaching that the government would eventually come to destroy
them and to the constant stream of lies from the government but
to no avail. He did his best not to give advice but teaching.
Those who kept their children chose to trust the government in a
manner that would permit their families to remain together.
And so they left.
The children were given to social workers rather than their
extended families despite the promises.
The adults who left were arrested and put in jail without
charges. That was their right that they expected to be
protected even if the house arrest was a lie.
Upon hearing the radio in the morning, Wayne remarked that
that was what he had been trying to say but perhaps he was too
much of a lawyer to get it across.
David tried to console him by saying they probably did not
want to believe they could be held without charges.
“Dave, you do know this means if we stay here for twenty
years they will be held for twenty years without charges? If we
stay here until we die they will stay in prison until they die
and never have their day in court. I did not want that on my
conscience.”

The Last Call
“Koresh, leave your gas mask on. You don’t have to answer.
We know you are a smart man. Your children have now been exposed
to CS gas for six hours now.
“The first symptoms of chemical pneumonia will set in in 24
hours. They will start to die in 72 hours.
“I know you are a smart man, Koresh. You have one hour to
come out or their deaths will be on your hands.”
David hung up the phone visibly shaken. He had seen a lot
but he never thought they would go ahead with it. “Devil
worshipping murders,” he cursed into his mask, “That bitch in
Washington murdered my children!”
“Steve! Wayne!” his voice breaking in rage, “Get in here.”
He was barely heard through the mask. He told them of the
phone call. Barely controlling his anger Wayne added, “That the
same thing they used against the Warsaw Ghetto. What are they
going to do next? Burn us alive?”

JB> members of the Branch Davidian group.
JB>
JB> On April 19, 1993, three patients were transported from

JB> fire that destroyed the Branch Davidian compound and killed
JB> most of the group’s members. Medical bills for the burn
JB> treatments of the three patients totaled $526,477.25.
JB>
JB> Hospital officials asked that the federal government pay
JB> the bills because the fire resulted from a conflict between
JB> the Branch Davidians and FBI agents. When the federal
JB> government refused to pay for the medical care, Parkland
JB> attorneys sued.
JB>
JB> “Before we filed the lawsuit, we asked our congressmembers
JB> to talk to [U.S. Attorney General] Janet Reno to help get
JB> these bills paid,” said Karen Neal, staff attorney for
JB> Parkland and primary attorney on the case. “Both Sen. [Kay

Precisely. And when they close up shop where is Joe going

shut down and it generates no taxes. The owner gets no rent.
There is no one to open a new shop in the same place.
80% of employment in this country is small business. 10% of
that closing shop is called a recession. 25% of that is called a
Depression.

Call Me Master
by
Anonymous (c) 1994 <6/26>
Who made you the laborer for me? I quit work. I live off
of the government. Thank you very much.
Could I work? Yes. Do I choose to work? No. Can I live
without working? Of course. You are my slave. You work to
support me. Why should I work?
I have a right to have a family and have them fed and have
medical care for them. It was good of you to choose to support
me in raising my family.
You have given me an apartment, medical care, food, spending
money, a telephone, cable TV, and a nice color TV. I am taking a
course to learn the skills to flip burgers and when I complete
it they will pay be for taking the course. I have a nice car in
mind. Thank you. But you will never catch me being nice to a
burger.
You folks are being very good to me. But then I should not
pretend to thank you. You are not doing it out of charity. You
would never do this out of charity. It was the people I vote for
who decided I should be the master and you should be the slave.
Look at it from my point of view. If I, shall we say, cheat
a little, they slap my wrist. If you refuse to pay for me, they
take away everything you own and put you in jail. I can get away
with murder. You can’t do jack shit.
If you don’t like me you can write your Congressman. If I
don’t like you I get prime time coverage of my latest demand upon
your income.
I got mine, Jack. If you can’t afford to take your family
to the doctor, tough. I have Medicaid. If your family is
hungry, up yours. I have food stamps. If you can’t make the
rent, tough noogies. The government pays my rent.
I got mine, Jack.
What am I going to do when my children are ready for
college? They are at the top of the list for a free college
education because I earn no income. I would hurt their chances
were I to go to work. Thank you for paying for their college
while you can not afford it for your children. You may call me,
Master. You are lucky I don’t whip you when my check arrives
late.
I am better than you. I have more civil rights than you and
I do nothing for them. If I have a problem with the law I get
help free. If you have a problem with a law, you go into debt
for years, maybe bankrupt. And if I am lucky enough for you to
injure me. I am in fat city and you are in real trouble. But if
I injure you, you can’t get blood from a turnip.
Listen up, slave. Stay just the way you are. But I wish
you would breed a little more. I need a guaranteed car.

———————————————————————–
Rights From Who?
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/27>
Lets start with a few simple questions. Does the Government
grant you the right to have a place to live? Does the Government
grant you the right to food? Does the government grant you the
right to have children? Does the government grant you the right
to use fire? Does the government grant you the right to defend
yourself?
Did I hear a yes to any of these questions? If that that is
the premise of our government. That our rights came before the
government was created and shall exist no matter what the
government says or does and shall continue after the government
is long history.
Our right to everything above can be traced back millions of
years where weapons for self defense were used by our pre-human
ancestors. The idea there is a difference between our rights
and our human nature is tenuous at best. No real difference can
be demonstrated.
Weapons are our nature. We inherited the use of weapons.
We evolved with the use of weapons. Weapons are or means of
defense. This is not something given to us by the government.
It is something we told the government it can not harm in any
manner.
Let us continue with some harder questions. Can the
government restrict the number of children you can have? Can the
government determine the quality of your housing? Can the
government determine what you can and can not eat? Can the
government restrict your use of fire? Can the government
restrict you to primitive weapons in the face of superior
weapons?
I think I detect some equivocation out there. Children? If
you can afford them — but who determines afford? Housing? Not
much movement there. Food? Not yet as long as the packaging
emphasizes all the current evils in food. Use of fire? Of
course not.
But can the government restrict you to a club or knife in
the face of a gun? So many agree it can. I do not understand
why. I do not understand why the government can restrict you to
an 8 round magazine in the face of a 19 round magazine.
What I really to not understand is why anyone would accept
the government having this power.
It has no such power.
It may make it illegal but it can not take away the right to
self defense by the best means available. Whose life is it?
The government has no compelling interest in any particular
human life nor in any population level. In fact given its
interest in birth control it would appear the government’s
interest is in people dying as quickly as possible. That the
government does not care you are forced into an unequal match
unless you are willing to risk the loss of everything you have
worked for all of your life is not in question.
If you die the government will reinforce its claim you
should not have weapons because you died from an unequal match.
Should you survive and produce an illegal weapon as your means of
saving your life, at the minimum it will be taken from you so you
can never save your life again. At the maximum that will happen
and you will go go jail for ten years for saving your own life.
That is our government in action.
Lets go to the hardest question of all. Can the government
demand you die to uphold its failure to get criminals off of the
streets? Yes is the most common reaction in this country.
The police can not protect you. You are not permitted to
have the most effective means of protecting yourself. The
government can not stop violent crime. Therefore, you die.
Clean, simple, and no longer a drain upon Social Security or the
health care system. What a neat solution to many outstanding
problems.
And if you defend yourself, go to jail, go directly to jail,
do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Only in America.

Save that in most cases it was contracted with behavior that

The person is going to die as a direct result of the HIV+

For that VERY small percentage inflicted upon them by their
