Admit she ordered? Where have you been? Ten years ago the
RICO statutes were passed because organized crime was clever
enough to avoid saying or doing any specific thing that was
criminal.
Do you think politicians are any less clever?
If you have been watching the hearings, not matter what
happened no one actually ordered or did anything along the way
regarding anything. A course of action ‘grew up’ and was
‘mutually accepted’ and ‘concurrance’ was given for ‘lack of an
alternative.’
Were it not for the titles you would not know anyone was in
charge but one thing for certain, no one ordered anything.

MG> The Serbs don’t look like the Vietnamese. Why bomb them?
Dumb anyway unless one is prepared to follow it up with a ground
invasion and invading Yugoslavia wouldn’t be any funner for us than it
was the Germans who tried that dimwitted stunt back during WW-II. It
especially doesn’t help when one considers that Tito had originally
trained his army, even after he got into power, as a guerilla warfare
force. The reason that the Russians never invaded Yugoslavia is that
they didn’t want to wind up in the same predicament that Hitler found
himself in. Yugoslavia is a lousy place to fight a war, and the armies
which are currently fighting there are essentially rump elements of
Tito’s old army which combined with the fact that they’ve been killing
each other for quite awhile now, pretty much indicates that unlike us,
they ain’t gonna be on a learning curve if we send ground troops. That’s
going to translate into casualties and a long war for us, and a
reason for existance for a generation of Yugoslavs who sooner or later
will find themselves at a loss to know what they’d do if peace came
anyway.

It’s becomming aparent thet the testamony of Kari Jewel at the Waco
hearings is a sham. Keri told of molestation by David Koresh, when she was
10 years old. She told a horror story of abuse, and the committee lapped it
up without checking her veracity.
In a story in the London Sunday Telegraph, reporters found that when the
alleged incident occured, she was living with her mother and grandmother in
California, not at Waco.
Keri’s father, a man of dubious backround, and once arrested for failure to
pay child support, is taking her on a tour of the talk show circuit
presently.
The liberals on the committee presented her as a first witness, hoping to
score sympathy points. Of course, the liberal lapdog press in the US never
checked her story, nor did the committee. It took foreign press to expose
the story.
Stay tuned….
More government lies to follow….

Way to go, Matt!
Let me try to give you some insight into getting this thing on the
bone.
First thing is to be sure it is listed as an echo on the local bone
where 1:3603 resides. Once it is on the local echo, you need to work
to get as many out of area BBS systems to take it by polling for it
from 1:3603/20050.
I will do that immediately via netmail. Then you also need to inform
your NEC that you wish to work towards getting the echo on the national
backbone. Since the militia issue is so controversial and many people
have their own personal thoughts on such subjects as militias, smoking
and other issues your agenda may run into some conflicts. You need to
watch out for problems from that angle just in case they raise their
ugly little heads.
You need to get other sysops from other areas asking for your echo
to be placed on the backbone too. There are quite a few more little
tricks you need to be aware of and I will point them out to you in
a short time. But let’s work towards getting these steps done first.
Keep me informed as to your progress on the above steps on a continual
basis so I can know where you are at and can give you the next steps
to take. We should be able to get this thing on the national backbone
within a couple of months if we are lucky.

Subject: Reno fears Linda Thompson
I am still at a loss for ridicule at the level it was earned
by Janet Reno.
That nerfbrain credited Linda Thompson with serious
consideration as to the security of FBI operations at Waco.
The “little general” as so many want to call her was a
sufficient threat for MS General Reno (Damn, the Little General
versus the Big General) and they are equally afraid of each
other. In fact the Big General made command decisions based upon
the Little General.
This was her stomping grounds before she grew to national
fame and national threat status as a major cause of the
government’s actions at Waco.
=====
Sorry. This almost sounds like I am serious. The insanity
of it is that Janet Reno took Linda Thompson seriously and said
so under oath.
Is there anyone still questioning that Reno is third best
Democrat Woman Hilary could find for the job?

News FLASH!!!!
Hot from the Waco hearings!!!!!!
Janet Reno was AFRAID of Linda Thompson’s call for the
militia to show up in Waco.
Linda Thompson frightened Janet Reno into taking violent
action.
Reno was afraid that Linda Thompson’s “militia” would
compromise the security of the “perimeter.”
=====
Everyone who has been laughing at Linda Thompson, Janet Reno
says you were wrong. Janet Reno took Linda Thompson as a serious
threat. You were all wrong…
=====
Rather we now have the sight of a fruitcase like Janet Reno
taking a nutcase like Linda Thompson seriously enough to use her
as a justification for Justice Department actions at Waco.
Never forget, someone who took Linda Thompson seriously was
in charge of Waco.

“The Prisoner” with a Number One. At least fiction has to make

“This is not an attack” and 37mm rounds are fired on the

Again it is difficult to connect my government experience to
this and by the grace of god I never had this magnitude of screw
up — but I was close.
I have been questioned the hard way. If there were a
parallel to this situation I would have been the desk jockey at
BATF that approved the field operations, the HQ contact, the
coordinator, the one that gets the field what they need once we
have agreed on the job. If that is a parallel (big IF there)
then there is not the slightest excuse for this presumption of
following the book.
There is policy at HQ but not in writing, there is only law
and after that it is all thinking and the thinking comes first,
not at a last resort, “when all else fails, think,” kind of
operation. If this is the caliber of federal law enforcement
then there needs be a law banning the federal government from all
law enforcement without the request of local law enforcement.
This is grunt level, by the book, don’t think it might hurt

General MacArthur explaining the loss of the Philippines by
saying he did everything but deal with the Japanese Army rather
dealing with what everyone told him about the Japanese Army.
This is literally dealing with people who have testified
they did not think but relied upon others to do their thinking
for them without questioning the credentials of the other
thinkers.
I have often noted this Attorney General was the third best
Democrat woman for the job Hilary could find. That is a
condemnation of the political appointment system, not of Clinton.
But what is worse it appears that such qualifications are the

Justice.
These children are not qualified to do the job they are
charged with. That is clear from the hearings. They are being
permitted to exercise powers they are not mentally or emotionally
equipped to handle. If they are the best we have then we need
better.
In the interim they need be deprived of the powers they have
been given until they demonstrate better competence in the
execution of the law.
I do not see any serious way to question this observation.

Again it is difficult to connect my government experience to
this and by the grace of god I never had this magnitude of screw
up — but I was close.
I have been questioned the hard way. If there were a
parallel to this situation I would have been the desk jockey at
BATF that approved the field operations, the HQ contact, the
coordinator, the one that gets the field what they need once we
have agreed on the job. If that is a parallel (big IF there)
then there is not the slightest excuse for this presumption of
following the book.
There is policy at HQ but not in writing, there is only law
and after that it is all thinking and the thinking comes first,
not at a last resort, “when all else fails, think,” kind of
operation. If this is the caliber of federal law enforcement
then there needs be a law banning the federal government from all
law enforcement without the request of local law enforcement.
This is grunt level, by the book, don’t think it might hurt
you, kind of law enforcement at the highest levels. It is like

JS> MG> What is the debate?
JS> Geez, you don’t even mention the propellant used, which is

You want a technical paper?
I have enough data on CS and the propellant that the FBI
used that if Koresh had used it and the people died he would not
only be charged with 1st degree murder but after a speedy trial
and a slow execution his body would be desecrated and buried in
unhallowed ground.
If Koresh had done exactly the same thing to the FBI
building in DC as they did to him what would be the penalty under
law? Let us presume that the head of the FBI was for the moment
a criminal and Koresh did the same thing to everyone including
the kids in day care in the building (yes, Virginia, it does have
a day care facility.)
“This is not an attack” as Koresh’s tanks put tear gas into
the building and fire 37mm gas grenades and to hell with the
innocent who did not come out to live in his internment camps.
Certainly there is a difference as the FBI is a law
enforcement organization and Koresh was not. But the actions
taken to get one person in each organization to the detriment
and the ultimate death of all the rest is not something that
could be introduced in court.
“Your honor, Mr. Koresh consulted many experts and found one
that said there was no risk from CS gas or its propellant and
therefore felt he was risking no life in its use. Therefore he
can not be found guilty of first degree murder.”
What is so hard to understand about this?
“WE DID THE BEST WE COULD.”
That applies to both sides. In giving the BATF and the FBI
powers they have testified to not being able to deal with in an
adult manner we have found they should not be permitted these
powers in the first place.
The issue it not who is in charge, the issue is who is able
to responsibly able to discharge the responsibility of the job.
It is clear the BATF and the FBI are not.

> SEX IS A MAN’S BEST FRIEND
Usually everyone who has a dog calls him Rover or something.
I call mine “Sex”.
Well, Sex is a very embarrassing name. One day I took Sex for a walk
and he ran away from me. I spent hours looking for that dog. A cop
came along and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o’clock in
the morning. I said I was looking for Sex. My court case comes up
next Thursday.
One day I went to City Hall to get a licence for Sex. The clerk asked
me what I wanted, I told him I wanted a licence for Sex. He said “I
would like to have one too!” When I said “But this is a dog” he
said he didn’t care what she looked like. Then I said “You don’t
understand. I’ve had Sex since I was two years old.” He replied
“You must have been a strong boy.”
When I decided to get married I told the minister that I wanted to
have Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding.
I said “But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole
lifestyle revolves around Sex.” He said he did not want to hear
about my personal life and would not marry us in a church. I told him
everyone coming to the wedding would enjoy having Sex there. The next
day we were married by the Justice of the Peace. My family is barred
from the church.
My wife and I took the dog along with us on the honeymoom. When I
checked into the motel I told the clerk that I wanted a room for my
wife and myself and a special room for Sex. The clerk said that every
room in the Motel is for Sex. Then I said “You don’t understand. Sex
keeps me awake at night”
and the clerk said “Me too.”
One day I told my friend that I had Sex on TV. He said “Show off.”
I told him it was a contest and he told me I should have sold tickets.
When my wife and I separated we went to court to fight for custody of
the dog. I said “Your Honour, I had Sex before I was married” and
the Judge said “Me too.” When I told him that after I was married
Sex had left me, he said “Me too.”
Well now I’ve been thrown in jail, been married, divorced and had more
trouble with that dog than I ever gambled for. Why just the other day
when I went for my first visit with the psychiatrist and she asked me
“What seems to be the trouble” and I replied, “Well, Sex has died
and left my life. It’s like losing a best friend and it’s so lonely.”
The doctor said “Look Mister, you and I both know that sex isn’t
man’s best friend. Why not get yourself a dog.”

Subject: Learned from Waco Hearing
Learned from the Waco Hearings
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/8>
There were ten days of Waco hearings. It is now possible to
take a preliminary look at what we learned. These are in no
particular order but then they were in no particular order in the
hearings.
The BATF did not have the requisite form of warrant commonly
referred to as a “no knock” to justify the attempt at violent
entry and service. In other words they were no better than
common street thugs and the Davidians were justified in defending
themselves.
We learned Congress is not particularly upset when the terms
and conditions of a warrant are violated. It does not at the
moment appear to matter to Congress that the BATF violated the
4th amendment.
We learned that the BATF believed the Davidians fired first.
We noted they were not asked about their knowledge of who fired
first so we still have no idea what they know. Nor were they
asked why they believed it nor were they asked if they were in a
position to have knowledge of who fired first. They were
certainly not asked why they answered differently in court.
I other words, whereas at the Davidian trial they were asked
what they knew, they were permitted to avoid perjury but saying
only what they believed. It is not clear why they were given
this easy out rather than exposing the lack of evidence the
Davidians fired first.
We learned that two investigations into the incident were
stopped. The first investigation was internal to the BATF as to
the shooting and they were ordered to stop by the Justice
Department because the information could be used to by the
Davidians to prove self defense. In other words, people in both
the Justice Department and the BATF violated their oaths of
office. Ignoring that, the FBI did not investigate to find the
guilty.
In other words, likely innocent people are in prison.
The second investigation was by the Texas Rangers and Vince
Foster (by some rather obvious but unnamed authority) told them
to stop investigating. That authority of Vince Foster to give
this order is not clear. It is not apparent how the White House
obtained the power over a state police agency nor its basis in
law.
It was confirmed that the BATF fired blindly into the
building without regard to having a target. The BATF claimed to
have learned this in three days from the Army. That Army says it
takes two months of training for the basics. The BATF is a quick
study.
We learned Koresh was tipped off — nothing new — but we
still have no idea what he was told nor what the person who
called him knew or what the TV cameraman knew. We are left with
the impression that Koresh was given intimate details of the BATF
plans when in fact the only words that have come out are,
“something big is going down.” That is certainly a long way from
80 screaming, grenade throwing, machinegun toting men in black in
horse trailers.
We learned either Agent Rodriguez was lying when he told his
superiors surprise had been lost or that his superiors were lying
when they said they did not know that it had been lost. Another
way to look at this is that the BATF is managed by blithering
idiots with guns.
We learned it was the original intention of the BATF to burn
the place down by using grenades and gunfire in the presence of a
meth lab. It is not clear why they have declined to be up front
with this intention nor is it clear why are sticking to this
rather than admit they were lying. After all, the penalty for
lying is only two years in prison while attempted murder in Texas
is worth five to ten years in prison on each of one hundred
separate counts.
We learned the arson investigator has watched Mr. Wizard and
learned that if there are no fumes methylene chloride can put out
a match. Mr. Wizard was much more dramatic. He did the same
trick with gasoline.
Rather than simply deal with arson, the investigator has to
go on to use this cheap trick to cover for the FBI, ignoring that
the vapors are what are flammable and subject to ignition by
flame.
We learned that Attorney General Janet Reno was frightened
by Linda Thompson’s call for the “unorganized militia of the
United States” to show up in Waco to try to send in diapers and
formula.
Of course that is not what she said. She claimed it was a
call for an armed appearance but that was her lie. Reno also
claimed it was on the internet but rather it was a the Fido
Network. That the entire FBI could not investigate and determine
the truth about what Linda Thompson was calling for is either
gross incompetence or another Reno lie or both. And both are
equally likely.

Good point but in all fairness you should also point out
this idea is only slightly modified from the concept that said
god is outside the universe because he lives above the firmament
and the stars are the lights of heaven shining through holes in
said firmament.

Subject: Reno the Whacko
The Sorry State of Justice
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/8>
The problem with justice in the United States is the Justice
Department. The Justice Department is in a sorry state because
of it head, Attorney General Janet Reno. Janet Reno is in need
of a reality transplant because of her fear of Linda Thompson.
You have not heard of Linda Thompson? Let me give you a
feel for Linda Thompson as Janet Reno sees her.
At the Waco hearings, in response to a question of
contributed to her decision to bring things to a conclusion on 19
April she referred to a message on the internet. This message
(she said) called for an armed assembly of 3-5000 of the
“unorganized militia of the United States” at Waco. Because of
that message she believed she could not secure the perimeter
around the compound and had to act.
That may sound reasonable until one understands who Linda
Thompson is, or rather was, at the time. Linda Thompson was
posting on Fidonet not internet. She is an attorney in
Indianapolis. She did call for such an assembly but UNarmed, as
in without arms, as in, please don’t come with arms.
This assembly was called for and occurred, as in came and
went, on the 3rd of April 1993 while the final attack poor Janet
was forced into was 16 days later. A total of twenty people,
rather 3-5000 people did show up, none of them armed. MS
Thompson not only identified herself but attempted to send some
boxes of assault diapers and destructive baby formula into the
Davidians. This was of course refused.
There you have everything that was called for and happened
related to the sworn testimony of Janet Reno. Now lets us review
the facts here. Because 20 unarmed people showed up with diapers
and formula 16 days earlier poor Janet felt they were a threat to
perimeter and had to use force.
It is an even sadder statement on the FBI that with all of
its investigative powers it could only conclude the MS Thompson
was a threat to the FBI. They were unable to discover that she
was a harmless flake on Fidonet, the Civil Liberties conference
in particular. They could not find her.
Not only could they not find her on Fidonet, they could not
find her well publicized BBS in Indianapolis. They could find no
one who could give them a lead on MS Thompson.
What is worse, they could not discover that she had been in
Waco, identified herself to the FBI, and demonstrated the danger
of her attempted assault diapers delivery. The FBI could not
even find its own records or its own people’s information. Is
there anything more pathetic you can think of?
But on top of all of that, and despite the obvious
incompetence of the FBI, poor Janet decided Linda Thompson was a
threat to FBI operations at Waco. And because of that threat she
had to use force to bring it to a conclusion.
It would have taken a stranger to Fidonet a few days of
messages to find Linda Thompson on the net, read her messages and
find out she is either harmless or foolish or both. That no one
took her seriously then any more than anyone takes her seriously
now. Imagine that the entire resources of the FBI were incapable
of learning this about Linda Thompson in time to avoid the final
attack on the compound.
The mind boggles at the Keystone Kops the constitute the
FBI. What incompetent fools they are. And their fearless leader
is a terrible waste of a strong back.
That mental midget quakes in terror that the entire FBI can
not withstand Linda Thompson and her assault diapers. The
“unorganized militia of the United States” all 19 of them, has
poor Janet quivering in her combat boots.
Only a posturing bull dyke would react like this to another
woman … lets leave that speculation to others.
Keeping it professional, not only is the FBI composed of
total incompetents but its Attorney General is a nerfbrain.
(Nerf, n. harmless imitation of the real thing.) And this woman
is in charge of the FBI, an armed FBI. Can we call in the
Bosnian Serbs to protect us from her?
It is agreed this person is the third most qualified
Democrat woman Hilary could find for the job. That makes her
about the 400th most qualified person on an absolute scale which
is about right. She must do a couple of lines before her public
appearances to come across as she does … and when paranoia
about Linda Thompson sets in, you know she is coming down from
the high.
This woman is totally whacko, around the bend, off the wall,
lined out. She has had too much and has to be stopped before she
hurts herself or 86 other people again. Won’t you help?

Subject: Waco first fire
The Gehenna Plan
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/8>
Keeping with the biblical theme, these are the Fires of
Gehenna, which some biblical scholars hold to be the end for
unsaved souls. It is the biblical theme that both the Davidians
and the government were acting out in the confrontation. It is
worth investigating all variations upon the theme.
In this regard we must consider the first planned use of
destruction by fire in the confrontation between the government
and the Branch Davidians. This was the BATF plan to destroy them
all by fire using flashbang grenades.
The BATF holds these grenades are not lethal but none have
been willing to hold one while it goes off to show just how
nonlethal they are. It was their plan to throw these grenades
into the building as what are officially called “diversionary
devices” in order to set off the methamphetamine laboratory and
kill off most of the people inside by explosion and concomitant
fire.
From the beginning and in full belief in the laboratory and
the explosively flammable chemicals it contained they planned to
ignite these chemicals with these grenades. There is no other
explanation for their use. It is ridiculous to believe they
actually expected to have enough of them to deal with over a
hundred people in a building this size.
It is equally ridiculous to think they planned to use only
eighty men to subdue over one hundred people with only grenades
and hand weapons. It would have been almost one on one, agent to
adult Davidian not to mention the control of the children. The
idea of holding a mother and child at the point of a
machinepistol is too ludicrous to imagine.
The alternative of slamming people into walls, handcuffing
them and the like is a possibility but of course, they said they
were only after a few people. To threaten the lives of nearly
hundred men, women and children with death if they did not comply
(that is the threat guns state) with orders is also nothing
rational people would want to get into the media.
Imagine the evening news where a woman is herded outside in
handcuffs with small children clinging to her and crying, perhaps
the older children in handcuffs also. This certainly could not
have been their intention. They had had enough bad press at the
time, particularly regarding women and handcuffs would have been
too kinky.
But then if they had all died in an explosion and ensuing
fire, it would have all been their fault for manufacturing drugs.
There would be as many millions supporting the BATF as there are
now supporting the FBI. Their deaths would play as their own
fault in the media.
And what better way to cause this explosion and fire than
indiscriminant grenade use? It would be a minimal risk to the
agents as they would be outside when they were thrown in. There
was no need to go inside and “light a match” or anything else
incriminating. If there were any negative press, some lower
level person could take the fall for poor judgment, be fired and
then rehired with back pay after a little posturing for the
press.
It was a perfect plan. No one would have asked after the
“items and things to be seized” appendix to the warrant that
listed nothing illegal. Everyone would have focussed upon the
“unexpected” explosion and the “fancy that, a drug lab” would be
in all the papers. Maybe people would never have looked into
what they told the army about that lab in the first place.
# # # # #
It is surprising they have not used the cover story that
they lied about the drug lab. The penalty for that is only two
years in prison and a $10,000 fine for violation of the posse
comitatus law. By admitting to the use of grenades around a
methamphetamine laboratory they have admitted to attempted
murder. In Texas that is five to twenty years for each of the
over one hundred instances in the attack. Even with time off for
good behavior that is a minimum of 250 years in prison, each.
It is not clear why the BATF is sticking to its Fires of
Gehenna story before Congress and the country. Perhaps they have
a martyr complex. Perhaps they want to die for a cause. Perhaps
the idea of blacks and whites living together was so repellent it
overcame their reason.
Whatever the case, they presumably feel satisfied with their
contention and are willing to suffer the consequences of it.
May the rest in peace.

If they had wanted to search his compound they would have
knocked and served the warrant, they would have taken him up on
his offer to come out and look around. If they had wanted to
attack without knocking they would have had a no-knock warrant.

Subject: Words of Waco 01
What do Waco Words Mean?
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/8>
Back during the trial of the Branch Davidians some covert
tapes were played for the jury. They had to use headphones to
keep out distracting noises and the words were so indistinct they
were given a transcript to follow them. These were the tapes
made by bugs the FBI had inserted in the compound. They were the
words purporting to show the Davidians had started the fire.
However, just last month the government released those same
tapes. They were of remarkable clarity, even of studio quality
one might add. Anyone who has tried to make tapes of a meeting
knows how indistinct to incomprehensible such recordings are.
We certainly can accept that the tapes played for the jury
appear to be the kind we get when recording a meeting. But there
is more. These recordings were made covertly. No one was
speaking into the microphone. They were in things that were
hidden from sight.
Certainly that would explain why the jury needed all the
help it could get in understanding the tapes. But then what were
the tapes we heard on ABC Nightline and which were used at the
Waco hearings? Those are indeed studio quality.
The magic word “enhanced” is used to explain it. What is
not explained is why they were not “enhanced” for the jury which
was a trial with life in prison attached but were enhanced for
the potential hand slap penalty of a hearing.
The more important point to make, the prosecution at the
Davidian trial said the tapes had been enhanced. So we have
barely intelligible enhanced tapes at the trial and studio
quality enhanced tapes for Congress.
There has not been any technological breakthrough in audio
enhancement techniques since the trial yet there is a great
improvement in the clarity of the same words. What do we make of
this? On one hand it is clear they are not the same tapes, no
matter how “enhanced.” On the other, why would they be different
tapes?
But there is more. The tapes are always introduced as proof
the Davidians started the fire, then these magic, excuse me,
enhanced tapes are played, and we are told we have heard the
proof. I have a problem with that.
My problem is that the words do not support indicate any
fire is being started by the Davidians nor in fact did the
government actually say that. The trial tapes have times
associated with the words. Those times are between 6:15 and 7:23
am, over four and one half hours before the fires start. And
they are interestingly not the same words given to the press and
Congress.
At 6:12 am the court has words “You got the fuel ready?” and
“It’s already poured.”
At 7:23, “So we light ’em as they come in [unintelligible]
right?” is one of the lines from the court transcript. But for
Congress we hear, “is it lit?” clear as a bell with no indication
whatsoever what time the recording was made. Obviously the words
for the court indicate a possibility of more than one fire but
the words for Congress only indicate one fire neither set of
words has any apparent connection with any of the fires that
occurred in time.
But there is more. Congress gets studio quality recordings
of “Pour the fuel” and “Is it lit?” Let us for the moment accept
the possibility of studio quality enhancement. How did they
happen to have mikes in exactly the right places to get these
recordings?
If these are related to the actual fires shown on tape to
Congress then the first is an order to get ready to start a fire
and the second a question as to whether it had been started. Now
the survivors agree as should anyone who watched the tanks
demolishing the building that there was so much debris and
destruction inside that it was difficult to walk any place much
less to the places where the fuel was poured six hours earlier.
And yet, if these words refer to the start of the fires then
we are to believe that people were sent out from where the studio
quality bug was hidden, go to places determined six hours
earlier, fires lit and when one of them returns through a
flaming building to report and he is asked if he has lit the
fire. One has to admire the determination of these people not to
mention their ability to predict just the right places to pour
fuel that would have a path from the bugged place. You have to
admire their bravery in returning through a burning building to
report.
But wait, there is more! One of these fire starters
actually jumped up to the second floor after the stairs had been
collapsed (sort of like a Hollywood stuntman) and started a fire.
Why anyone would start a fire on the second story of a wood frame
building is beyond the imaginative abilities of even the FBI but
that is what the FBI says happened.
And then we must not forget how calm these people were in
facing a fiery and painful death. Someone has the presence of
mind to suggest that some fuel be saved for later, perhaps to
soak himself if the burning building doesn’t get him.
I could go on with this a while longer but what is the use?
The only saving grace of this FBI scenario is that it must be the
truth because fiction has to make sense and this scenario
certainly does not make a bit of sense.
And to top it all off, someone shot Koresh, the mastermind
behind it all, in the head to prevent him from escaping the fire.
Lets all hear it for magic enhanced tapes. Lets hear a
cheer for hearing what you want to hear. Lets all take a leaf
from the Red Queen and practice believing seven impossible FBI
scenarios every morning before breakfast.
How else could these fires have started? Accident of
course, as the Davidians who survived said. The tanks knocked
over lanterns that started the fire. Would you rather believe
Murphy’s Law or the FBI’s concoction?
Rather, there is no reason to believe either story. We may
never know how the fires started any more than we will know who
started the shooting (at people, the BATF testified they started
shooting the dogs first) the day of the first raid. But the FBI
has a desperate need to be considered the good guys in all of
this.
After all, it was they who provoked whatever happened. They
look less guilty if it was deliberate suicide rather than an
irrational act by sleep deprived people or caused by their
shaking the house or because they did not follow the plan or
because they said it was not an attack and immediately started
shooting grenades into the building.
I have to end this now. I need to read some Stephen King to
ease back into reality after this excursion.

Subject: Wrong Kind of Warrant
Wrong Kind of Warrant
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/8>
One of the questions has always been, what justified the
stormtrooper attack upon the Branch Davidians’ home? And as a
result of the hearings we have the answer, nothing legal.
Prudence may have suggested to people like the BATF with such
warped imaginations that violent entry was needed, but they
failed to get that kind of warrant.
While the hearings wasted much time upon who had the warrant
it finally came out that they had the wrong kind of warrant.
They had the type that is governed by the “knock and serve”
provisions of the law. They did not have a no-knock warrant
which would have permitted the kind of attack they attempted.
And we further find out that regardless of any justification,
they never planned any constitutional form of warrant service.
It happens that our Federal and the Texas State
Constitutions both require all warrants to be issued by an
impartial reviewing authority (we use judges) and only after
someone swears to its need under oath and then the correct type
of warrant must be issued. It turns out the BATF did not ask for
nor were they granted as no-knock warrant. Because of that they
had no power to attack the Davidians’ home.
Some may see this as a minor technicality; most see it as
the Constitution. No power means exactly that, no power. It
does not mean they had a little bit of power, or power in these
circumstances. It means no power whatsoever.
And that is the crucial distinction. Having the wrong kind
of warrant is exactly the same as having no warrant at all.
Without a warrant, without the right kind of warrant, they have
no power at all. With all the identification, announcement,
whatever, they were in no way different from street thugs and the
same as targets.
That is the reason we have a Constitution; to prevent the
government from doing exactly what it did in Waco. If that is
not its purpose then we might as well not have a Constitution.
It it only applies when the government feels it necessary then it
is not a restraint upon government at all.
If people are not held blameless for defending their rights
when the government not only violates those rights but violates a
specific prohibition against such violation then the constitution
is dead and worthless. After Waco many would say that it is;
that it is a technicality honored only in the breech when it
suits the purposes of the government.
Rather the constitution was created by the people for the
purposes of the people. As in court it is in the land, it is
better that the guilty go free than the innocent be harmed. It
is better that judgment err upon the side of the citizen than
upon the side of the government. It is better to err on the side
of the rights of man than on the powers of the government.
In the case of the Davidians versus the government, the
government was clearly acting outside the bounds the people put
upon it. And the error is in favor of the Davidians for
defending themselves against a blatantly and openly an attack in
violation of the 4th amendment to the US Constitution. If the
Constitution is not to protect people from the excesses of
government, then what is it for?
It is hard to conceive that the Constitution is for the
purpose of simply providing “guidelines” for the government and
then holding that government safe from harm when it admits to
violating its own implementation of those guidelines. But in
this case was have clear law following from our Constitution
which makes the government’s action in Waco in clear violation of
our Constitution. And yet, when the Davidians acted toward the
government in a manner consistent with our Constitution, they
were charged and found guilty.
Guilty of what? Of not treating the government as though it
had the power to do anything it desires with impunity? That is
a dictatorship. Our government exists with certain very specific
an limited powers and none other. It is required to live within
the laws. It has no powers outside of the powers granted and the
laws as they exist.
The government had no power to act without a proper warrant.
Without acting within its limits acted as a tyranny. And death
is always the due of tyrants be they grunt minions or the
leaders.
The Wafen SS had families too.

Way to go, Matt!
Let me try to give you some insight into getting this thing on the
bone.
First thing is to be sure it is listed as an echo on the local bone
where 1:3603 resides. Once it is on the local echo, you need to work
to get as many out of area BBS systems to take it by polling for it
from 1:3603/20050.
I will do that immediately via netmail. Then you also need to inform
your NEC that you wish to work towards getting the echo on the national
backbone. Since the militia issue is so controversial and many people
have their own personal thoughts on such subjects as militias, smoking
and other issues your agenda may run into some conflicts. You need to
watch out for problems from that angle just in case they raise their
ugly little heads.
You need to get other sysops from other areas asking for your echo
to be placed on the backbone too. There are quite a few more little
tricks you need to be aware of and I will point them out to you in
a short time. But let’s work towards getting these steps done first.
Keep me informed as to your progress on the above steps on a continual
basis so I can know where you are at and can give you the next steps
to take. We should be able to get this thing on the national backbone
within a couple of months if we are lucky.

A Hearing Result
We learned Koresh was tipped off — nothing new — but we
still have no idea what he was told nor what the person who
called him knew or what the TV cameraman knew. We are left with
the impression that Koresh was given intimate details of the BATF
plans when in fact the only words that have come out are,
“something big is going down.” That is certainly a long way from
80 screaming, grenade throwing, machinegun toting men in black in
horse trailers.
So what is the connection necessary connection between being
tipped off and events? We still do not have the necessary
details to connect the two events.

Subject: Bible Evolution Evidence
Biblical Evidence for Evolution
Creationists are fundamentally unaware of the Biblical
evidence for evolution. Leviticus is generally dated between
1600 and 1400 BCE. The following passages provide the evidence
for evolution
LEV 11:13 ” `These are the birds you are to detest and not
eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the
black vulture, [14] the red kite, any kind of black kite, [15]
any kind of raven, [16] the horned owl, the screech owl, the
gull, any kind of hawk, [17] the little owl, the cormorant, the
great owl, [18] the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, [19]
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.n
^^^
Leviticus 11:21-23 lists things with four legs. Among the
list are locust, beetle (cricket in some translations), and
grasshopper.
There are reliable descriptions of bats, locusts, beetles
and grasshoppers from about 200 BCE. Thus in a period of
approximately 1500 years, give or take a centuries, bats have
changed from being indistinguishable from birds to their present
form. In that same time certain insects have gained a third pair
of legs for a total of six legs.
As we have Egyptian glyphs of birds going back before the
Noatic flood we know that birds indeed looked like present day
birds. Thus it was bats that in this amazingly short period of
time evolved fur in place of feathers, teeth in place of beaks
and a host of other mammalian features completely independent of
mammalian ancestry.

Subject: 1st “lady” ain’t shit
The First Lady
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <3/31>
The First Lady is no more than an honorary title. Treating
as more than a honorary is a falsehood. It is a point of respect
and courtesy that men give to a lady. We have seen the first
deliberate attempt to abuse that courtesy and respect in Mrs.
William Clinton.
Regardless of what you might think of me, you most likely
know something about me from what I write. So at some time in my
life and her life I happen to meet a woman interested in
politics. She becomes President of the United States. I get to
remake the entire health care system of the country.
I think that is as absurd as you do. But then you know more
about me than you knew about Mrs. Clinton before she was given
the job. In a much less serious case Bill Gate marries. Mrs.
Gates is put in charge of developing Windows 4.0 which will be
completely incompatible with all previous versions. The
stockholders vote Gates out of his job.
The president of General Motors puts his wife in charge of
engine design. He is voted out. Alan Greenspan puts his wife in
charge of determining the inflation rate be an entirely new
method. The mayor puts her husband in charge of reorganizing the
city pension system. Your boss gives his wife the job of
redefining your job. Mrs. Gingrich is put in charges of
redefining the procedural rules of the House.
And do not forget in these examples, no knowledge is
required as no knowledge of health care was required of Mrs.
Clinton. But Democrats will insist she was qualified in an area
much more responsible than the above examples based only upon a
$10 dollar fee paid to the State of Arkansas to record the
marriage.
The last egregious abuse of this was when Congress created
the National Endowment for the Arts as a favor to Jackie Kennedy
but only the the widow Kennedy. I am sorry but the Constitution
does not sanction little courtesies. The constitution does not
hold that a couple is elected.
I can not say that I would have objected if the Clintons had
stood by her original statement that they came as a pair,
electing him meant the country would get both of them but that
was quashed, falsely, as soon as it was said. And their she was,
when awarded the political payback smiling to the crowd clearly
basking in the “I deserve this because I gave him sex” response.
She as with most women have not gotten past confusing their
desirability because of their sex and looks and the gifts they
get because of those. She does appear to truly believe that she
should be given things simply for existing. And she makes the
worse error in assuming that because those gifts include being
catered to and never being held to be wrong that it must continue
no matter what they do.
It is the failing of women who have never really had to live
in the world of men and the claim of NOW is that women should be
given power. Given? Since when is anything in the world such as
wealth or power given to anyone but women? And since when is it
given save in return for sex and children? Since when is
anything given solely because the recipient is a woman?
This abuse of the the First Lady courtesy may never be
surpassed by anyone after Mrs. Clinton. Times are changing too
quickly and there are enough women governors and enough nations
that have had women leaders for the US not to be far behind. But
in the mean time there will be no more Mrs. Clintons.

considered debated rather than to waste time on this no-brainer.
The first that should be considered is to strengthen the 4th
amendment against warrantless search and seizure. For thirty
years it has been a hobby of law enforcement agencies find ways
to avoid the protections of the 4th and to actively ignore it.
These efforts have been supported by the Supreme Court. It is
clearly time to withdraw from our government the power to issue
search warrants.
This means simply that there will not longer be any hair
splitting over what is and is not a search. No form of search
without consent is permitted, ever. All questions of discovery
in due course will be moot as there will be no expressed or
implied power to search given to the government.
In light of the pending bill to make the 1st amendment
inapplicable to any computer network it is time to add this
amendment to the constitution. “When it say Congress shall make
no law, it means MAKE NO LAW you illiterate fool.” That might
not be strong enough for the present day breed of Congressrats
but stronger language, such as making passage of such a law a
shoot on sight offense might get their attention but likely not.
It is about time Congress and the states learn what “shall
make not law” means. It means no law. If it permits shouting
fire in a crowded theater, so be it. The pending violation of
speech, total censorship of cyberspace, is sufficient to warrant
a few such fire shouts.
While everyone would agree that using a child in pornography
should be a crime, morphing Barbara Bush into a young teenager
should be regarded as an artistic accomplishment, a miracle even,
rather than kiddie porn. And it makes no difference if an 18
year old loses a few years. How can the law tell? No one ever
said either that law enforcement was easy or that rights have to
be given up to make it easy.
In light of the myriad of “interstate commerce” and import
regulations clauses it is about time we amended the Constitution
to state, “The power to regulate shall never be construed to be
the power to prohibit nor shall excessive taxation, tariffs,
duties or imposts ever be used as a means prohibition. In no
case shall criminal penalties be applied to violations of revenue
raising statutes.”
This will mean that all taxes on commerce shall only attempt
to optimize revenue, as excessive taxation is prohibition can not
raise revenue and as such it is not a revenue raising provision,
but that if you fail to pay a $200 tax for owning a machinegun
you can not be thrown in jail for ten years. The worst penalty
would be a “usual” fine of ten times the unpaid tax.
To this change I would add one sub-amendment, “all taxpayers
shall be considered equal and no qualifications to pay taxes
shall be imposed.” This means the to own a machinegun, one can
not be required to pass a background check to qualify to pay a
tax. But it goes further. It is possible to place a one dollar
federal tax on all sea going boat purchases and require a
background check (buyer paid for) to assure one is not likely to
become a drug smuggler under the same trivial tax on machineguns.
And to the big one, “No clause of this constitution shall
ever be construed as a means of the avoidance of the provision of
any other clause of this constitution.”
This will mean the government can not restrict weapons
possession by invoking another clause such as interstate commerce
of federal licensing or import clauses any more than it would be
considered reasonable to restrict the ownership of foreign cars
by invoking the power to regulate foreign trade.
And in light of all of these necessary and needful
amendments we are talking about permitting a new restriction,
that against burning the flag? That might be a good idea. I
think it sucks but I will leave that to the debate that will
require 38 states to ratify it.
But in the mean time when we permit a no-knock warrant
because the alleged violator might flush a ton of cocaine or a
machinegun down a toilet this is terrible waste of time. When
there is a possibility of making the use of the f-word on the
world wide internet a criminal matter we have better things to
spend time on. When there are so many unplugged loopholes in the
Constitutional protections of our rights that pre-existed the
Constitution we do have better things to spend our time
discussing.
Rather this Congress is truly no different from the previous
save in some necessary fiscal matters. Rather than addressing
the real issues, it will reverse prior trends without renouncing
and prohibiting forever the basis for those trends.
The flag is but a symbol of our liberties. It is not proper
to prohibit burning the symbol while burning the liberties.

Censorship
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1992
[With many thanks to Dr. John Norman Lange of Queens College
for some ideas I have liberally stolen.]
There is a hard to define region between things such as
advocating the sexual (ab)use of children and shouting fire in a
crowded theater. This is not to suggest that in 1992, in the
popular culture of the larger part of the United States, that we
do not possess the final truths of the moral and social universe.
Every other people and time has had the ultimate truths. Why
should we be different?
However, as with pornography which we can not define but
know it when we see it, we similarly know censorship when we see
it. The question of course is whether or not a particular person
or group sees censorship as desirable or undesirable. For
example, it is generally accepted that only Blacks (or hyphenated
African-Americans) can refer to themselves as niggers and that no
one else can. As a group any other use of the word nigger is
unacceptable, perhaps even here as an example. Such is the risk
one takes in writing on this subject.
There are three general justifications of censorship
1) Preservation of the truth
2) Protection from harm
3) The betterment of culture
The “Preservation of truth” is only a function of time and
society as to when it is used. In the Western European Middle
Ages it was used to suppress the heliocentric theory of the
universe, discussions of means other than creation for the origin
of life, the age of the world. These in addition to
multitudinous heresies that were in need of being stopped else
the divine truth would be lost.
Of course, this all presumed that some person or some group
has the corner upon the truth and is completely competant to
interpretate it. Unfortunately despite any pomp and circumstance
who or whatever this person or group is, it turns out they are
strangely human just like the rest of us and have no greater
pipeline to ultimate truth than you or I.
This reason certainly did not die with the Middle Ages or
any time later as Marxism in all of its mutually self
contradictory variations continue to preserve the ultimate truth
that they and only they have.
The “Protection from harm” was for years the justification
for the pornography laws and about the time they were struck down
in general all over the country, the camel got its nose back in
the tent with the child pornography laws. It appears now society
is searching for a more politically acceptable basis for
pornography laws.
Already there have been lawsuits claiming that all
pornography is exploitation and excites violence against women.
So far these cases have not prevailed. Decades ago essentially
the same group of people that celebrated the end of the
pornography laws but now are supporting exactly the same
censorship upon different grounds. It is noteworthy that these
grounds are given respect and a hearing by groups that would not
give the time of day to a TV minister promoting exactly the same
thing for different reasons.
It appears there are not only politically acceptable
positions but also politically acceptable reasons for holding
those positions.
“The Betterment of culture” is the third reason in that
certain ideas will not be permitted to be discussed as to do so
would threaten the determined direction which will lead to
improvement.
The idea that demonstrates this best is perhaps the idea of
equality of all people. We started with equality of treatment,
proceeded to equality of results and in the process banned all
discussion of inequality. And discussion of any reason for
inequality has been socially banned. This proceeds from the
eggregious example of comparisons of IQ scores across races to
determination of causes for unequal results across racial, ethic,
and social classes. NONE may be discussed.
Why not? It would thwart the popularly perceived thrust of
the progress of our culture. As always it devolves to the
absolutely perfect perception of moral truths by some very human
individuals who, like you and me, have no channel to absolute
truth we ourselves do not have. The presumption that any group
agreement is any greater is not different than that any Middle
Ages religion had a better channel to ultimate truth.
Note what is happening here. The contradiction between
equality and liberty is being emphasized as the two are mutually
exculsive when carried to extremes. Liberty emphasizes
differences between people. Equality emphasizes their sameness
and ultimately enforces that sameness. Which of course leads to
the enforcer and once there is an enforcing class there is no
longer liberty.
This is nothing new as liberty in the Middle Ages with its
own presumption of having the ultimate truth did not permit
freedom of religion. Today in the few non-dissillusioned Marxist
countries and five years ago in all of them, the ultimate truth
did not permit liberty.
But is this harmful? As Norman has pointed out, even saints
have supported censorship. As the discussion of the failure of
Marxism was prohibited so to is the search for the reason that
there are racial, sexual, social, ethnic and cultural differences
and thus also prohibited is the search for the cures and
corrections.
The reason for holding with the free marketplace of ideas is
the belief that, unlike money, good ideas drive out bad. Given
the observed results anyone who truly wishes the betterment of
society promotes freedom of speech even when the speech, the
ideas, the concepts hold one’s own ideas to be wrong. There is
no greater striving toward principle than to permit one’s own
ideas to be scrutinized and be discarded for the betterment of
the world.
The issue is not that the free exchange of ideas is
infallable but rather that it is the best method the human race
has discovered to promote progress. Had free speech been stifled
on the slavery issue in the 1800s, had Martin Luther King been
stifled in the 1950s and ’60s, had Woman’s Sufferage been stifled
… the political list alone can be extended from the obvious to
the forgotten but not so trivial as in the end of debtor’s
.

Infrared, The Now Told Story
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994
“Waco: The Untold Story” was shown on Prime Time Live shown
on Thursday, 13 January 1994. During that program there were
three photos quickly flashed on the screen. They were described
as infrared photos taken by the government of three separated hot
spots thus proving the Branch Davidians started the fires.
There are problems with this.
The pictures were not on screen long enough for viewers to
verify there were even hotspots. The pictures did not appear to
have a date/time group on them and as such would certainly not be
admissible as evidence in court. One has to ask upon what
grounds we are to accept these pictures.
The announcement that the fire was started by the people
inside was made from Washington while the fire was still burning;
about one half hour into the fire. This was reported on CNN
overlaying the live shots of the fire. How did Washington know
of the results and analysis of these pictures and prepare a press
release within 30 minutes?
We are also asked to believe there was a plane directly
overhead and taking pictures exactly at the time the unexpected
fire started. Excuse me. The three pictures showing we know not
what were from the same perspective, so it must have been a
helicopter.
The perspective was also from overhead rather from a slant
angle so it was not a circling plane. It would have been a
stroke of blind luck to have that plane exactly overhead at
exactly the right time doing exactly the right thing.
Let us look at a few alternatives. It really was a
helicopter rather than a plane as we were told on Nightline. We
can forgive a TV production crew that gaff.
We are still left with three still photos at exactly the
right moment. Perhaps they are out takes from a film. That we
can not forgive in a TV production crew, showing stills instead
of a film clip.
We note further we have films from every network showing the
first starting in exactly one place with the only question being
how it spread so quickly. The government now purports to tell us
it started in three places at once. It is noted the government
has still to show us one thing inconsistent with a the Branch
Davidian statement that the tanks knocked over kerosene lamps.
We know they were using bales of hay to block the windows
to block out the light and noise at night. We know in that dry
part of the country that any wooden structure goes up like tinder
even without dry hay to help spread the fire.
Now we bring up the second ABC interview with the arson
investigator where he affirmed his first interview of one fire
starting point and added there were at least three, “in fact so
many” before he refused further comment.
There is no scenario putting these facts together save the
story of the fire starting was prepared before the fire started.
The pictures if they show anything are not inconsistent with the
tanks knocking over kerosene lanterns.
We have a more serious problem explaining why pictures would
happen to show three hot spots in the first place. Infrared is
merely heat, the same heat you feel in front of a high wattage
lamp. The only way to get an infrared image would be for the
fires to have been started on the top floors, either second or
third depending upon the part of the structure.
This coincides with the films we have seen of the first
smoke and fire coming from a second story window. I am hard
pressed to understand why people intending to burn themselves
alive would start fires on the second floor. However to show
spots rather than a fire they would have had to burn through the
ceiling of that second floor and started heating the roof itself.
Perhaps only the first and largest was on the second floor.
Perhaps but then those on the first floor would not show up on
infrared as spots. The fire would have to burn through the
ceiling of the first floor, through the ceiling of the second
floor, perhaps the ceiling of the third floor to directly heat
the roof for there to be a hot spot there. Before that would
happen and under the conditions of weather and construction there
would have been fire from at least three windows not just one.
The timing of these fires is extraordinary. Infrared is not
X-rays. The only way to show three hot spots is to have the
undersides of the roofs at those points heating evenly at the
same time. Were there a burn through there would be a bloom on
the picture no one could miss and processing would be required to
show the rest. It is the difference between a few hundred and a
few thousand degrees; a flashlight and a searchlight. It boggles
the mind to believe three widely separated people could possibly
have coordinated their fires such that they would NOT burn
through but equally heat the roof at three distinct places.
There is no evidence of three starting points for the fire
that could possibly corroborate infrared photos of three hot
spots unless … and that unless is that the fires were all
started in rooms on the highest floor of the building. Again,
this does not sound like people trying to burn themselves alive.
Even in the most trivial scenario of self immolation it would be
expected a fire would be started in front of every first floor
door at least and every window if possible.
On top of this we have a common agreement by the government
and the Branch Davidians that the stairwells had been collapsed
by the tanks, the only difference of opinion is whether
deliberately or incidentally. Now we have to imagine people
without the help of stairs getting to the highest floors to start
these fires and then staying there or coming back down to await
the fire reaching them.
To my way of thinking, even the most insane people who might
start such a fire would have second thoughts when the heat starts
building up as the actual fire proceeds. We have films of only
one person leaving from a second floor window but that person
appears to be in no hurry about leaving as he jumps down and
slowly walks away.
We have a different problem with those who decided to wait
until the fire burned down to them. The story goes that they
all, including Koresh himself, shot each other in order to
prevent each other from escaping. Here we have at least three
people starting three fires out of maybe 40 armed adults and then
enough more disciplined people to kill the others and then
themselves. Schwarzeneggar may be able to do such things but in
reality we are talking no small group capable of pulling off such
a thing. We have to be thinking of at least ten people to kill
the other thirty armed adults to have a chance of one of the ten
.

Subject: OKC, 1 bomb or 2? 01
That this two bomb stuff continues is getting to me. If
anyone is still taking it seriously would they read this and get
back to me?
One or Two Bombs in Oklahoma City
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/9>
There is a running “theory” that there were two bombs in the
Oklahoma City bombing. The official story is that there was one
bomb. Lets look at the evidence.
The idea of two bombs comes from the bomb(s) having been
large enough to have registered on two seismographs in the area,
one at the university and the other at a sort of science museum.
Both show two distinct waves a little under ten seconds (9.6)
apart. Further, in the confusion just after the event there were
reports of two bombs and in an early tape, apparently two plumes
of smoke.
Based upon this the rumor mill started about two bombs and a
very experienced retired officer lent his name to a two bomb
theory. The first point to be made is that nothing regarding one
or two explosions indicates any significant variation from the
story so far as it has been revealed. The indictments will
apparently allege conspiracy so if there were more conspirators
with more bombs involved the conspiracy aspect will not change
nor will different people be indicted.
The idea of two bombs was a scare early after the blast and
turned out to be groundless. It was certainly not ten seconds
after the blast, more like two hours. There may have been two
bombs, it has nothing to do with what was on videotape of the two
bomb scare.
Then the two plumes of smoke. I have not seen this tape.
I have only heard about it but they are described plumes of black
smoke. Black smoke is a fire and not the aftermath of this kind
of bomb. Two plumes of black smoke indicates two fires, not two
bombs. Look for white smoke as in electing a pope for this kind
of bomb and then expect it to be mainly dust.
To some people the shape of the collapsed part of the
building from an aerial view indicates that there were two
explosion loci. (For those of you even not in Rio Linda, the
locus, plural loci, would be the exact location of the bomb with
respect to the building.) It is not quite the exact semicircular
cut one would expect from a single blast.
This is where the type of construction comes in. Much has
been made of the reinforced concrete construction. If you are
not familiar with it in buildings you may have seen it in highway
overpasses.
It is those bars of steel you may have seen sticking out
above poured concrete forms. A similar method is used in this
form of building construction, the steel reinforced concrete
pillars start from well below the lower garage level and go to
the top of the building. Each floor of the building is a
horizontal extension of this form, with flat extensions of the
same steel reinforced concrete, the pillar and platform type of
construction.
Not all of them go all the way to the top as the load on the
top floors is only those floors and not all of the upper floors.
As the garage levels not only have all the weight of the building
plus the cars parked there, they are the most numerous and
thickest. Additionally there are a fixed number on the outside
walls to anchor the poured concrete facade or other window
mounting structures.
The point of this digression is that the columns vary
not only horizontally and vertically but also with height. That
means that one bomb could not be expected to have a perfectly
semicircular damage area to the building. Rather what we do see
from the aerial shots is something like the letter B taken out of
the building.
If each scallop were the arc of an explosion circle then the
center of each circle is the locus of the explosion. If that was
from two bombs then they were precisely place to produce the
symmetric scallops of the B. That is possible but a level of
sophistication that was completely unnecessary. In fact, if this
were a professional job (with two bombs, one bomb professional
job is not excluded) such precision is a dead giveaway.
The next consideration is that if each scallop were from a
separate bomb then we have to ask how the bomb that caused of the
second of them could have survived the blast of the first bomb.
It had to be about as close to the first bomb as they both were
to the building. It is not clear how it could have survived with
its detonating mechanism completely functional.
However, lets us assume it did. The next thing we have to
explain is how two equally distant, equally sized bombs managed
to do identical damage. I know they were effectively equally
distant and sized by the diameter of the scallops being the same.
It is not obvious how this could be accomplished without the
telltale signs of a professional job when professionals would not
have needed two bombs.
The first bomb does its damage to an undamaged building.
Ten seconds later the second shock wave hits a severely damaged
building and does exactly equal damage? Consider simply that the
first exposed the rear wall on one half the building and that the
second bomb does not damage it. By any reasonable estimate, the
side with the first bomb should have much greater damage as it
was hit twice but the damage is identical.
Now lets take one more leap of faith and say that experts
could have sized and placed two bombs such that they would appear
to be one bomb. Rather than ask why they would expend the
effort, let us jump ahead to the demolition of the building.
When the building came down exactly the same double waveform with
the same delay was recorded on the same seismographs and a few
others brought in for the event.
In other words, the second wave is a natural phenomenon as
originally believed. To understand where it comes from we need
to understand a little bit about the earth itself. The crust of
the earth, that is the part we live on, the dry land, consists of
accumulations of material that is lighter than the next layer
down. We float above this layer very much like a cork floats on
water.
In a more technical way of saying it, we live on less dense
material that float on more dense material. We all know sound
produces echos but it is not simply that it bounces off of
something solid. Rather at every change in density some sound
reflects (the echo) and some passes through into the denser
material. This is why eyeglasses both reflect and pass light,
the change in density from air to glass as it is a similar
phenomenon.

PLEASE address responses to ALL
———————————————————————–
Good morning, Matt…
Just these few words–a few by my standards, anyway–to
ask if you’d heard about the almost-another-Waco which
took place in Attolla, Alabama last week. (My guess is
that you probably have, but just in case you haven’t, I
will give you a quick thumbnail view of it.)
The Tri-States militia and several other militia units
throughout the country were on alert last week when the
Department of (in)Justice sought to strong-arm Jeff
Randall of Attolla, Alabama (in Etowah County, near
Gadsden) into handing over the original video tape of
the “good ol’ boys round-up” (the BATF picnic). The
BATF wanted the *original* because on it, the insider
who tipped off the militia concerning the racist tones
of the event, was identified. Mr. Randall wanted to
protect the source, so he refused to turn over the
original, but offered the agents a *copy*. They didn’t
want the copy, so they began gathering their forces, in
preparation for what many believe would have been
another incident similar to the one in Waco (on April
19, 1993–as if any of us will ever forget). It’s
apparent to everyone that it was the DOJ’s objective
to “plug the leak”. (And, taken in this context, it
might be assumed that the word “plug” could be taken
ambiguously, if you know what I mean–and I’m sure
you do…)
Jeff Randall, the tri-states militia was told, was
resisting service of a subpoena calling him to appear
before a judge and divulge his source or sources at
the BATF. The video, you may recall, was released to
the national media, and was subsequently broadcast
by it, which I’m sure was a grave embarrassment to
the “good old boys” involved… If it wasn’t an
embarrassment, it damned well ought to have been,
IMHO…
Anyway, Jeff certainly saw what was coming, because
he is reported to have said to another militia member
in that area: “See ya on the other side.” All the
major television networks and other media was on hand
there, waiting for bloodshed they could report, no
doubt. I don’t personally believe they acted respon-
sibly in failing to report on the matter, just because
there wasn’t a drop of blood spilled, because that it
even began at all, should have been broadcast far and
wide. I think, personally, that all of America should
be aware that the BATF went after that tape, so they
could identify the person who tipped off the militia
to the racism that seasoned the picnic, because it
attests to the nature of that beast. And we all have
a right to know! (But never fear, I’m here, getting
the word around as best I possibly can…and I’m sure
others somewhere must be making similar efforts…)
What finally defused the situation on the morning of
Thursday, August 3, 1995, was the intervention of
Senator Orin Hatch. The Feds, according to news sent
to Electronic Free Press from the local Committee of
Safety, accepted the copy previously offered and
stood down. Also, there is an ongoing monitoring of
Jeff Randall’s house and area in case federal agents
return. Senator Hatch is to be commended for his
effort, and for working in such as way, as this is
the appropriate manner in which people interact with
their representatives, constitutionally.
If you wish, you may call Senator Hatch’s office in
Washington, DC, to thank him for his efforts (and
maybe also mention that you appreciate his recogni-
tion of the appropriate interaction between repre-
sentative and the represented…) and his fulfill-
ment of his oath to uphold and defend the Constitu-
tion against all enemies both foreign and domestic.
If only there were more like him in Congress!
For now, Jeff Randall is safe. But, given the nature
of the beast, who can say what might transpire? If
anything does, though, you can be sure that another
Waco isn’t going to be tolerated by the Tri-States
Militia. Enough is enough… I think the militias
throughout the country might well share those same
feelings about this abuse of authority.
Also, I’m sending you one more message today, this
one to advise you concerning a Civilian Mutual
Defense Compact. It will be posted in this same
area. Later…

Subject: RICO Laws for Waco
RICO in Waco
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/9>
In one regard the Waco hearings confirmed one fact. No one
in the government did anything specific. Waco just sort of
happened.
No one gave any specific orders or made any particular
decisions. Government folks just sort of got together and a
course of action emerged that everyone sort of agreed with.
Everything that happened “just grew up on spectators.”
A few years ago there was a similar problem. Organized
crime was able to accomplish the most illegal actions and only
those who actually committed the crimes could be found guilty.
The reason was the higher ups in the organization did not give
specific orders, rather things just sort of happened.
To deal with this the RICO statutes were enacted. These
laws were to deal with corrupt practices that in themselves were
legal or only marginally illegal but when taken as a whole
resulted in a pattern of criminal activity. We need something
like that to deal with the BATF and the FBI.
It was Kafka-esque to listen to the Waco hearings and
discover that no one on the government side really did anything,
that everything everyone in the government did was compelled by
circumstances beyond their control. Of course that did not apply
to Koresh who did everything from child molestation to mass
murder with diversions into everything short of nuclear weapons
manufacture.
Of course Janet Reno took responsibility for everything that
happened but damned if she could think of anything she or anyone
really did that Koresh did not force them to do. It wasn’t
really the their fault. They were caught up in circumstances
that were beyond their control.
Certainly everyone involved shares the responsibility but
there just doesn’t appear that anyone initiated anything. They
were forced to do what they did by something else. If I may be
so bold, they used every excuse except “the dog ate it.”
This pattern of behavior is exactly why the RICO statutes
were enacted. No one person did anything seriously wrong but as
a result of a series of minor things, people died. We need
similar laws and regulations to deal with these run amok federal
agencies.
The law needs read that when the combined actions of many
individuals results in unacceptable results that all of the
individuals are equally responsible for the results. That means
neither that some low or high ranking goober takes the fall and
the rest are forgotten. That means everyone involved receives
the same punishment.
In other words not only should Reno be fired but also the
entire Hostage Rescue Team and about 100 BATF agents should be
given the opportunity to apply their skills in the fast food
industry. Did the combined actions of everyone involved lead to
the deaths of innocent people? Fine. They all stand trial for
murder and for the sake of efficiency, they are tried as a group,
not individually.
That is the same thing that would be done to organized crime
should RICO ever be applied as it was intended. There is no
reason to assume the employees of the federal government are less
clever than members of organized crime. They have used exactly
the same technique that RICO was intended to address. They were
clever enough to individually avoid any seriously improper or
illegal action.
We have a real problem here which we need to address. In
the same manner that organized crime can not be permitted to
achieve its ends without legal culpability neither can we permit
the federal government to do the same thing. The laws in this
country make no exception for a person being on the government
payroll when it comes to the law.
It is not a question of where the buck stops. It is a
challenge to find the buck. It has to be there somewhere but no
one appears to have found it.
There were no decisions made. They got together and in some
manner consensus developed as to what to do.
There were no orders given. After the consensus developed
everyone just assumed what their part of it was and did it.
It all just sort of happened while they were on duty. They
were all innocent bystanders to events that happened around them.
These kind of answers might appeal to bureaucrats who might
find their backsides in a crack some day. To the rest of us, our
children have come up with better excuses.

This is what has been said what would happen for decades, in
fact since the Great Society was started. One does not give
political power to a class whose sole interest in society is to
loot the treasury.
On the other hand, the pols with an active fantasy life have
considered these people a threat to society by the violence they
pretend to represent. These folks who are disarmed by the
Saturday Night Special laws are not a threat of interest.
Yet they attempt to attack and ridicule people with real
guns and serious intentions who will act with deliberation and
serious intent if harmed.
It is an amusing situation we are in at the moment. The
harmless get press attention as a threat. The armed and
dangerous are provoked.

I have said no such thing. I have pointed out it was
Democrats in the congress who scheduled these hearings. I have
also pointed out that as very little new came out that there has
been no change save that some people have now testified under
oath for the first time. I have also pointed out some of the

this was a coverup.

There was not one statement from anyone knowing what orders
were given or by who. There were some new, studio quality tapes
played but as I have noted in another article they are
inconsistent with starting the fire. I will point out to you, if
you missed it, that the speakers were not identified.
BK> MG> them who Koresh ordered to kill him as he did not appear to

BK> You have no evidence. You are stooping to personal attacks.
As I have just pointed out, you have lept to a conclusion

Reno did about Linda Thompson. The point is the press won’t

It has been over a week. And I know there are Thompson stories

Three or four appeared to have some crush on the broad and
were out to defend her (for some otherwise unknown reason) while
not challenging so many other things without substantiation that
were much worse. I was getting interested in seeing how far they
would go or at least where they were headed.
DA appeared to be investing more time in me (I mean as in

You tell me what it was all about. I haven’t figured it out

abiding Americans, and yet I have decided to do this as
anonymously as I can because I am convinced there will be a very
negative backlash from members of the law enforcement community.
Why should I be concerned about the police I pay to protect me
and my family? Read on and judge for yourselves whether there is
some cause for concern.
Nothing has been done to me personally. I am not in trouble with
the police, nor have done anything which should bring about an
investigation.
However, in the August 6, 1995 edition of Albuquerque’s Sunday
Journal, there is a very disturbing story which undoubtedly
leaves out some facts but nonetheless portrays not only the local
law enforcement community but the local justice system in a very
poor light, and I feel the story is well-written, very even-
handed in its attempt to cover the situation.
I am referring to the article starting on the bottom of the front
page with the headline “Las Cruces Raid Spurs Legal Skirmishes:
DA, Courts Wrangle Over Indicting Armed Occupant”.
Very briefly, the article describes how (on Jan. 5, 1994) seven
ski-masked sheriff’s deputies with a legally obtained search
warrant broke into a house after announcing themselves and
hearing no reply. They tossed in a concussion grenade which
exploded near enough to a young girl to cause, according to the
article, apparently permanent hearing damage, tinitus-like
ringing in her ears, and headaches. The girl is an aspiring
cellist.
Her then 20-year-old brother, apparently watching television in
his bedroom and unaware of the deputies’ knocks on the door and
calls for opening it, reacted to the explosion in his family’s
living room by retrieving an assault weapon from his closet and
charging out to confront whoever was invading his home.
The young man and at least one ski-masked deputy exchanged fire,
and the young man is now partially paralyzed and wears a
permanent brace.
Why did the deputies go to serve the warrant on that house?
Because they were looking for a cache of weapons as part of an
investigation of a still-open murder case. No weapons were
found, no charges relating to the still open murder case have
been filed against any of the occupants of the home.
Why was the SWAT team used? Because the step-father had been
charged, tried, and acquitted some eleven years earlier with a
different murder. He was acquitted. He was not convicted of any
crime, he was released back into society to live freely alongside
all the rest of us, and (according to the U.S. constitution) he
was considered innocent of any crime. Nonetheless, the deputies
decided that prior *CHARGE* was sufficient cause to assume the
man and/or other occupants of the house would resist violently
any attempt to search the home.
The story does not end there, however. The district attorney, G.
Greg Valdez, decided that no charges should be filed against the
young man with the assault weapon on the grounds that he was
unaware he was confronting police officers and he was protecting
his home against invasion. The district attorney also decided
that the deputy who wounded the young man was acting to defend
his fellow officers in a legally arranged and executed raid, and
that therefore no charges should be filed against him.
Personally, having no other information by which to judge the
situation, I agree with the district attorney.
However, District Judge James T. Martin, according to the
newspaper, was “prodded by the sheriffs office and fellow
District Judge Thomas G. Cornish” to intervene and appoint a
special prosecutor to bring charges against the young man who is
now partially paralyzed and who in the eyes of an experienced
district attorney was only acting to defend his home.
What justification was offered for this action? According to the
newspaper, “Former Sheriff Ray Storment, who was in charge at
the time of the raid, says that if shooting victim…hadn’t been
charged, ‘then we couldn’t justify the shooting.'”
After the district attorney involved in the case refused in
November to answer the request of a grand jury to “present
information that might lead to an indictment”, a captain in the
Dona Ana County Sheriffs office wrote a letter to District
Judge Cornish “asking him to get the case before a grand jury.”
In an interview, the captain is quoted as saying: “Officers in
general were not happy. They were concerned that (the refusal to
prosecute) was a message that it was OK to point a weapon at an
officer.”
And there is the crux of the issue. The sheriffs department is
bound and determined to strip citizen’s of their constitutional
rights to defend their homes against UNKNOWN INVADERS, to make an
example of an innocent victim of misunderstanding to instill fear
in the general population.
No one should willingly, knowingly point a weapon at a police
officer. But the police do not run the country and they should
be held accountable for their actions. The citizens of Dona Ana
county should demand the resignation of this captain who wants to
ignore the law and place officers above all other citizens.
Police make mistakes. Sometimes people get hurt because of those
mistakes. But a law enforcement officer in putting on a badge
and accepting the authority that goes with that badge accepts a
sacred trust from the rest of us to abide by the law in spirit
and deed, and to protect us from those who would hold themselves
above the law.
In this case, the sheriffs department refuses to acknowledge
that they made two mistakes: first, they judged a man for a crime
of which he was found innocent; second, they are persecuting
another man for a non-crime merely to make an example of him, so
that they can walk down the street knowing that normal, law-
abiding citizens will fear them.

Quite false. In the case the BATF was required to have the
proper kind of warrant, they did not, and the people inside have
to know of its existence. Having a badge is no different from a
street gang without those two conditions being met. Why can’t
you deal with that?

Subject: Ruby Ridge, double effort
Fri 08-11-1995
The Justice Department announces the suspension of four
people including Larry Potts, one time (and short time) second in
command at the FBI.
Of course the announcement includes that they are a long way
from criminal charges against them even though the penalties
range from five to fifteen years. In government parlance “a long
way” is more than 60 days. The House hearing on Ruby Ridge will
be over in 60 days.
As Justice now has its ass covered regardless of the outcome
of the hearing, it can appear to be clean during the hearing. A
decent interval after the hearing it can “discover no
wrong-doing” and reinstate them with back pay.
Is this too negative? Then just where has Justice been
these last three and a half years? Investigating the matter to
the point of suspension? At this rate of progress some time
around the turn of the century some significant development might
occur.
Rather more clearly, what has happened is the hearing on
Ruby Ridge being scheduled combined with the experience of the
Waco hearing. This is not the result of any effort desired by
either the FBI or Justice but rather one being forced upon them
by public and congressional attention. As it is a result of
outside pressure it can and will disappear the moment that
pressure is relieved.
For us these means it is time to redouble our efforts to
keep Ruby Ridge center stage. If we had done nothing matters
would never have gotten this far. The only new discovered by the
FBI is the destruction of documents. EVERYTHING else about Ruby
Ridge has been common knowledge to us for three years — yet
Justice was not able to uncover that common knowledge for three
and a half years.
The Justice Department had no interest in justice until they
were forced to. We need to continue the pressure if we are to
have justice in this matter.
=====
Note that the Waco hearing is over. Don’t slow down, run
with the testimony. Nothing was materially changed save the
presentation.

Subject: Executive Order on Tobacc
Executive Tobacco
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/12>
I was asleep at the switch at some time in the last few
decades. Here I see cigar smoking, never inhaling Bill Clinton
signing an executive order putting tobacco under the control of
the Food and Drug Administration. On what grounds is this being
done?
I do not remember any law giving generic authority over any
particular substance or any generic type of substance to the FDA.
The last I heard the FDA only has authority over legally defined
drugs without regard to the cause for their being legally
defined.
This is nothing new. Marijuana is legally defined as an
addictive substance but it is not. Coffee is not defined as an
addictive substance but it may or may not be, the same as
tobacco.
Psychoactive substances, per se, are not subject to
regulation as coffee definitely is psychoactive as is tobacco.
Alcohol is both psychoactive and in some cases addictive and
the FDA has no authority over it.
This is not to debate any of the above issues but rather
from whence comes the authority granted by Congress (the only
place from which it can come) upon which the President can sign
an executive order to regulate tobacco? The only apparent basis
from the recent rediscovery of what everyone has known for the
forty years I can remember, that is it addictive. Ring one up
for the yuppie generation. They rediscovered common knowledge,
finally.
The pretension they are going to be the first to do
something about common knowledge is hardly impressive. So the
good president discovers that “coffin nails” kill people. I
think it was 1952 I first learned that, the same year Bill
Clinton abandoned Hope, Arkansas that is.
Clearly the power does not exist in present law as every
regulated substance (not illegal like prohibition, but regulated
like prohibition) is defined in law by name not by
characteristics. It is much like the “assault weapons” ban that
does not ban one assault weapon. Rather it defines “for purposes
of law” what is an assault weapon without regard to what assault
weapons are. With a tip of the hat to Mr. Bumble, yes, the law
is an ass.
I must digress at this point to clarify something that may
be confusing because of common usage. Despite the fact that
everyone from the Government on down refers to illegal drugs,
there are no illegal drugs in this country. There are only drugs
whose possession, manufacture or use is prohibited to some
people. Thus there are only regulated drugs. The penalties are
all for violating the regulations regarding those drugs, not that
the drug is per se illegal.
This is not a trivial matter. The prohibition of a drug
would require a constitutional amendment as did alcohol. But,
through the great loophole of the “good cause” (in the case of
tobacco, children are the good cause) regulations that are
stronger worse that prohibition can be imposed by Congress, civil
servants, and now it appears by the president.
What is not clear is the basis the President is invoking
other than “for the children.” Given the lack of any generic
power over types of drugs save for “designer” analogs and an
“emergency power” provision there is no generic power over
“drugs.” In fact, there is no generic definition of “drug” as
opposed to “non-drug.”
But for those interested in Washington turf battles in which
liberties are the prize, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. For twenty
years the EPA and the FDA have been battling over the power to
regulate tobacco. The Labor Department has even come in for a
piece of the regulatory action.
EPA is trying to regulate smoking every place but in small
closets with recirculating air. Labor is trying to ban it from
the workplace. Now the FDA has a foothold into anything that
might get the attention of anyone under the age of 18.
(Seventeen year olds are such children you know.)
This is only the beginning. Three agencies in a battle for
the limited funds with a growing empire for the winner. Beltway
insiders consider Labor a dark horse in that it is a late comer
to the game. The odds are even as to whether EPA or FDA will
have the next win in the “it ain’t prohibition, it’s only
regulation” game.
Other players are expected to attempt to get into the
running. The Customs Department is expected to recommend a ban
on the importation of tobacco as a substance dangerous to
children and an executive order will follow.
Then there will be gambits by the FDA to regulate the amount
of nicotine in tobacco products and an executive order
prohibiting the modification of nicotine content in products in
interstate commerce. As always, interstate commerce will be
considered anything it is possible a tornado may pick up in one
state and put down in another.
It is a new round in the pretension of new discoveries of
ancient knowledge. This administration believes it was born
yesterday. May it die in ’96 and all like it in that same year.

Latest word from the tech announcements is that the magnetic

working at the production level. It sort of picks up an atom
from one place and puts it another place. In any event, the
target price is $10 (ten) per gigabyte of storage. Introduction

I remember the ad from 1982 for a hard drive at only $1000
(thousand) per megabyte, 5Meg full height only, you interface it.
In another ten years, they will not be competing on price or
size but rather on the best indexing system for the sum of all
human knowledge which every manufacturer will pre-load in a
separate partition.
I am serious in this last one. That is a factor of 100,000
performance improvement in about 15 years. 15 more years is 100
terabytes for $10 or if you want to drop $1000 … And then
there is always optical waiting in the wings and hoping for the
best.
Of course, if Microsoft is still in business, Windows 2010
will consume 20 terabytes in the beta version and every phonebook
application will need half a terabyte but at least it will appear
to be progress.

Cyberspace Victorious
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/13>
From the aftermath of Ruby Ridge, Waco, the Waco hearing and
the soon to come Ruby Ridge hearing, it appears cyberspace is
about to make its first serious impact on the United States
government, to bring down the BATF and the FBI as a minimum.
Certainly all the devil’s along the way get their due, some very
few in the media willing to raise the issue when it is not in
news. ABC as the least biased of the TV networks.
But it was cyberspace and the FAX networks, all the
variations of electronic data transfer that have changed the
country since Ruby Ridge. It was not the mainstream media that
kept the issues before the public. It was not the commercial
media that told people about militias. It was the truly free
medium of exchange, cyberspace.
It was not the commercial media encouraging people to write
their congressrats it was cyberspace. It was not congressrats
sitting in a vacuum who decided to call hearings on Waco. It was
people like you and me annoying them until they did.
And our record is that the recent Waco hearing was scheduled
barely 15 months after the ashes were cool; it just took another
year to get the act together. And it was a stunning victory by
its own measure; the first time a major issue was forced in
Congress without the commercial media being involved. It
certainly did not go far enough but it established every major
point against the two agencies and recorded dozens of unindicted
felonies.
The effort was so successful that the FBI is doing some
pre-damage control by discovering after three years that there
were a few improper occurrences at Ruby Ridge. It took over three
years for the Justice Department to at least pretend to live up
to its name and act upon what all of knew at the time it
occurred. But these are only suspensions in prospect of
hearings; we will not let them forget after those hearings.
Cyberspace is the driving force behind these hearings.
Cyberspace is the reason we are having hearings on these
murderous agencies. Cyberspace is the reason they are going to
come down with a very hard fall.
We are not just sharing newspaper stories. We are sharing
the bullshit the government gives us in response. We are
pointing out where it is bullshit. We are ahead of all the
journalism majors that blight the commercial media.
The real fallout of cyberspace that we have an alternate
source of information than journalism majors who have no concept
of anything other than journalism. We use them only for notice
as to what happened today, not for any understanding of what
happened today.
If the question is about the use of infrared are you going
to turn to some talking head in TV make up or a physicist in
cyberspace? On the subject of chemistry, Barbara Walters or an
on-line chemist? On the effects of CS, Ted Koppel or an Army
instructor in CS gas?
We are over the top. Both the Waco and Ruby Ridge hearings
are our doing. The pre-emptive suspensions after over three years
of FBI higher ups including the recently promoted Larry Potts are
our doing. We have the momentum. We are not going to stop.
The naysayers among us are the useful foils for perfecting
arguments against these agencies and what they have done and what
they are doing. They earn their keep.
This is not the evening news, with a pretentious opening
screen, dramatic music, and perfectly groomed people in business
suits. This is a From:, To:, Subj: and twit filtered
environment. You don’t meet image-maker tailored icons here.
You meet folks really might be picking their nose on the other
side of that screen. We are all human beings with faults rather
than a New York image with a midwest non-accent.
And if you missed it, one of the things that died as a
result of the Waco hearing was HR 666. The power of the people
on cyberspace has been established. It is an every-edged sword.
We have the power to get to Congress and to make things happen.
It is not Rush Limbaugh but he helps and he is part of
cyberspace. It is not Gingrich but he helps. Only cyberspace
makes it all happen. Only here can we get the news without
journalism majors reporting what they can understand. Only here
can we get professional opinion that is more than a journalism
major can comprehend.
And we are not limited to the half hour format of what is
hottest, such as the Bobbit or OJ trials, nor are we limited to
newspaper advertising sales to cover the amount of news that can
be printed. Our tendency is to beat a horse to death but, in my
never humble opinion, that is better than passing up a good news
story on Friday because there has to be a Person of the Week
segment. (What if there were no person this week?)
And as a minimum we are going to bring about the complete
reorganization of the FBI and the BATF. Already we have the
number two many at the FBI under suspension and three of his
henchmen. As ABC declines to cover the threats of wrongdoing by
Justice in the Good Old Boys party, it is all over the networks.
There is no place for these people to hide any longer.
We just keep doing as we have been doing and we have the
government under control. It may have taken time. It will take
less time next time. The government still does not understand
what is going on. We will continue to show them.

Good sir, when you are capable of creating anything original

In the fullness of time that may come to you.

Subject: Damage Control perjury
Conspiracy to lie to Congress
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/13>
Anyone who has collected the available tapes on Waco has
seen a clip of a certain man. He is first seen on the roof a
second floor roof of the burning building. The then rolls off
it, lands on the ground and slowly walks off into the sunset or
wherever unexplained persons go. At the Waco hearing, the FBI
was kind enough to explain this person to us.
This person was a Davidian, so they said. I hope everyone
has this straight, that person was a Davidian who was on the
roof, then rolled off and then slowly walked away. I hope
everyone understands how the FBI treated the Davidians who were
escaping the fire, they were permitted to simply walk away from
the compound never to be heard from again.
Are there any other bells going off? I have no problem with
that explanation. Obviously that person is alive. What is his
name? Let us go ask him if that is what he did.
Strangely the FBI did not give us his name. He was simply
one of those unnamed Davidians who walked away and was never
heard from again. If you have seen this tape, he does not
deviate from his path to avoid any razor wire which is
interesting in itself. And yes, despite the very poor quality of
the tape, it appears he is carrying something very long and thin
but let us not suggest there is any evidence this is a rifle. If
that were true there is an armed Davidian loose in the world
ready to wreck havoc wherever he goes.
Of course every surviving Davidian who has had a chance to
go on record has reported very rough treatment by the FBI,
immediately being handcuffed and questioned even being given the
Dirty Harry treatment until being reminded the tapes (which have
never surfaced) were running. The FBI folks testified to making
every effort to find the children and that certainly does not
equate with letting one of the Davidians walk off into the
sunset even if it was just passed noon.
Here we have the lie incarnate, what is his name? And since
that question is clearly not answerable, who conspired to lie by
creating this story?
Who specifically conspired to create the story about the
person Linda Thompson put on tape and distributed that claims it
is a Davidian? Who is going to believe that this Davidian was
permitted to walk away while there were dozens of FBI folks on
the ground arresting everyone who came out? Who is going to
believe this person was permitted to both watched waiting on the
roof and then to walk away with no ground troops being vectored
to him?
Of course there are dozens of dupes who are ready to believe
it. They are legion. But what rational person is going to
believe this person was in fact a Davidian, let walk away and can
not be identified?
If anyone is believing that person was a Davidian, send me
netmail @DUMBYOU.com. For the rest of us, there is no reason to
believe this person was a Davidian. Given that, we have sworn
testimony under oath that this person was while it is obvious he
was not.
OK. How many people and what are their names who conspired
to make up this story? Lying to Congress is one thing, perjury
before Congress is something else. Conspiracy to commit perjury
is a third thing. We have the third thing.
We have another clear example of perjury and conspiracy to
commit it here. This is nothing new in the line of BATF and FBI
statements we have had for years.
Sorry, they lied to Congress. Am I typing too fast for
anyone?

Subject: Shaazam! Tobacco is bad
Shaazam!
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/17>
My apologies to Gomer Pyle. My apologies to the creator of
Billy Batson. I just had to use it because, “Surprise!
Surprise!” tobacco is addictive.
The heart quakes at this discovery. The profundity that is
passing through the regulatory universe. The entire world is
incredulous. Tobacco is addictive. Who would have thought it?
On the heels of this great discovery comes the government to
regulate this “drug” of choice. I don’t know how the country
could have missed this critical discovery.
And Lo! the tobacco companies were hiding this dark secret.
They knew it was addictive and were not telling their customers
it was addictives.
And for nearly 100 years, the customers did not know they
were addicted.
What a conspiracy!
What a secret!
What bullshit. And this starling discovery is now the
current debate on tobacco. Billie Jeff, the world’s foremost
president didn’t know it. None of the talking heads knew it
before this revelation. And it took the theft of research
results from tobacco companies before they knew tobacco was
addictive.
What planet did these folks come from? It was certainly one
without tobacco. This is perhaps the best evidence yet that the
earth is ruled by space aliens. They know nothing about tobacco.
I could prove the case on this alone.
So instead we are subject to the pandering nonsense of fools
claiming that common knowledge since I was a kid in the 1950s
justifies a change in policy. I doubt it was unknown before I
was a child. The earliest epithet for them I remember was
“coffin nails.” Excuse me, but when something is called coffin
nails I sort of get the impression they kill. Maybe the
difference was that the people using that term had been in WW II
and were not as afraid of death as people pretend to be today.
Maybe some people are so unaculturated that they really did
not know tobacco is addictive and kills. I am willing to admit
that there are such people. That they hold positions of
responsibility is what amazes me.
This is absurd enough for me and I presume it is absurd
enough for you.
These folks are playing coy, like naive little children.
They knew everything they are claiming to discover and be shocked
by since they were small children just as all of us did.
Are we going to reward acting ability? To hell with
getting credit, who is going to be taken seriously for “Surprise!
Surprise!” about tobacco? Knowing tobacco causes disease and is
addictive is like knowing about Babe Ruth and being able to sing
the Star Spangled Banner. But times have changed, it is not like
knowing how to drive a stick shift car but it is close.
What in the hell is this all about? We have these posturing
fools pretending there is something new to all of this and
because it has just been discovered, in their naive universe,
action has to be taken. Again, this is clear evidence they are
not of this planet.
The law clearly defines what it is talking about when it
comes to drugs as the law will not permit itself to be swayed by
mere scientific fact. Every drug regulated is by name or by
analog to that drug. There is no law permitting regulation by
scientific properties, addiction and disease causing included.
And it is clear why this is so. Were it based upon fact
rather than law, any case could become a battle of science rather
than something judges and lawyers can understand. There is no
regulatory power given because something is addictive despite
pretensions to that politicians.
Marijuana is not regulated because of its effects. It is
regulated because it is named in law. Tobacco is not named in
law.
Yet, SHAAZAM!, it is addictive and gee, no politician is
willing to deal with the truth in the law as they might seem soft
on drugs so this bit of nonsense gets common acceptance.
This is a very stupid system of regulation we live with. It
is not really acceptable in any sense. It is about time someone
besides me speaks out about crap like this.
But it will not be a politician. They are not bright
enough.

Subject: What Grampa would say
What my Grampa would have done
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1995 <8/17>
I do not like to speak for the gentleman nor to I really
pretend to do so. This is a standard ploy related to “what would
the founding fathers think if they were alive today?” You want a
standard lead? Here it is.
First off, I will have to say he died when I was seven so I
never knew him as more than a child. I do remember a few things
the family remembered about him as wisdom. For example, the
Klan, people who need to hide their faces should hide their
faces. Little things like that.
No, I am not going to pretend he invented anything he said.
Nor am I going to make him into the font of folk wisdom. I am
going to tell you he was, so far as I can tell, an average
working class grunt.
For those who have missed it, I am fifty, born in 1945 and
the replacement for WW II.
My grandfather did a horrible thing in his childhood. He
married a woman only 14 years old. It took Elvis to repeat this
horrible deed in public. But then he was only 17 so there must
have been equally good rules in those days.
This is of course a question of outlook and action and by
implication voting or taking action. In practice, my grandfather
would have done nothing overt. He would not have taken up arms
and he did not.
But what he did do was as important as his comment on the
Klan. He told his children, my mother included, what he thought
of things. And in turn they said what they thought of things.
For example my mother was always complaining about taxes and
continued to say at every tax increase that they would tax
drinking water if they could in a very perjorative sense. Little
did she understand there was a sewer tax in her future. They
won’t tax what you drink but if you flush it, you pay for it.
Another of her statements right from her father as best I
can remember is that they will tax the air if they can. These
days, they don’t tax it, they charge for it. You have a $1000
package in your car in addition to a twenty cents a gallon more
expensive gasoline that taxes the air we breath. Breathing
itself is not taxed but it might as well be.
Of course I have taken these to heart and have told these
things to my son. This is not a matter of swallowing nonsense as
I see it as I have rejected major parts of family traditions,
starting with religion. I certainly agree with the judgement on
the Klan.
But in telling these traditions to my son I am transferring
ideas that have been refined over the generations. Nothing in
the years of the life of my grandfather, nor of my parents, nor
of me have found fault with certain fundamental principles of
public life. Those I have passed on to my son and those are,
regardless of appearing to be an old fart, are what I use in my
posts.
I expect my son to refine these matters further over his
lifetime.
And the point of all of this? Americans will change
religions easier than they will change political parties. And
they will give it equal thought.
I am an early baby boomer, slightly earlier than the
official beginning of the baby boom generation. I do not care
about any particular experience including my own.
The point I am making is that the shift of young people to
the Republican from the Democratic party is generational not
annual. I have no idea why my grandfather was a registered
Democrat. I do know it happened in the day of Woodrow Wilson who
is best defined today as a Libertarian.
The Libertarian trend is certainly a majority given the
moves of American politics. Certainly there are party loyalists
from the word go who will never change. In fact the difference
between parties and the avocation of parties is what the current
trends are indicating.
Today our/my children are voting back toward where we came
from two generations back. The aberration of the Depression era
is averaging out to jack in the political conscience. People do
not change, strange circumstances cause temporary changes in
people.
The country is going back to what is always was, a group of
people who chose to come here for the sole reason that is was a
concept of liberty. Here we are again with the Great Depression
losing everything it had to justify all the additional nonsense
it collected.
This is the brave, new world. My grandfather is alive
again.
