Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 1 Num. 4
|
||
=====================================
|
||
("Quid coniuratio est?")
|
||
|

-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
[From an interview with Linda Thompson on the *For the People*
|
||
radio show, Feb. 11, 1994. Host is Chuck Harder.]
|
||
|
||
[Continued...]
|
||
|
||
CHUCK HARDER: Our guest is Linda Thompson.
|
||
|
||
So now Linda, where we're at here is... By the way, let me just
|
||
mention again to the folks that the name of this tape is "Waco,
|
||
the Big Lie Continues"?
|
||
|
||
LINDA THOMPSON: Uh-hum. [Affirmative] "Waco II" is the simplest
|
||
way...
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Yeah.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: ...to call it. Everybody's calling it "Waco II."
|
||
|
||
HARDER: All right. And again, if you want to get a copy call 1-
|
||
800-888-9999. If busy, keep trying. It's $19.95 and shipping and
|
||
handling.
|
||
|
||
Um, let's continue on here. And, and let's now go to... uh, Bob
|
||
Ricks has said, "Anybody who comes out is going to be shot." Uh,
|
||
I don't remember seeing that in the press. Of course, my life has
|
||
been a blur. But, uh, did the press pick that up?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Yeah. It came across the AP [Associated Press] wires.
|
||
But it was not widely disseminated.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: O.K.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: You didn't hear it on ABC, CBS, CNN and so forth. And
|
||
of course, we're listening with, you know, "jaded ears" at that
|
||
point. We, we are specifically listening for things like that. So
|
||
we caught it, we kept it, and yes, they said it. They can't get
|
||
out of that.
|
||
|
||
And in the Department of Justice report they *admit* that they
|
||
threw grenades at 'em if they came out. It says it very plainly
|
||
in there. In fact, I think they admit, uh, the part about Bob
|
||
Ricks saying that, in the report... But can't remember that one
|
||
specifically. But I do remember, they admit "flash-bang" grenades
|
||
being thrown at the people.
|
||
|
||
Uh, they admit that they were... basically, they've admitted --
|
||
in the Department of Justice and ATF reports -- they've admitted
|
||
everything in "Waco I" except for the flame-throwing tank. And
|
||
they lied to try to explain that one. They do not try to claim
|
||
that the tank that you see in "Waco I" with the flames coming out
|
||
of it is not real. They did have an expert from the University of
|
||
Maryland analyze it, and one at Fort Harrison. We've had an FBI
|
||
forensics expert analyze it. *No one* has tried to claim that we
|
||
altered the tape, or that it's not flame. They've tried to
|
||
explain it away by saying they don't know what it is. And they
|
||
said... Janet Reno stood up and said, [mimicking Reno] "Well we
|
||
had CEV-I and CEV-II out there." (Now she's referring to the
|
||
tanks: "Combat Engineer Vehicle," that's what CEV stands for.)
|
||
[mimicking Reno] "We had CEV-I and CEV-II out there. And the
|
||
investigators have inspected those. And they don't have any
|
||
equipment to shoot flames. And there's no charring on them." As
|
||
if that's an explanation.
|
||
|
||
Well on page 49 of the Department of Justice report it says CEV-
|
||
II broke down and the tank crew got another tank that was not
|
||
equipped to inject tear gas. She also does not mention the other,
|
||
almost dozen, tanks that were out there *besides* CEV-I and II.
|
||
|
||
So these are the kinds of things that they do. And the reason
|
||
that they're... when you see these public officials on TV, they
|
||
are telling you truth in what they *say* because they're afraid
|
||
of voice stress analysis. So when Janet Reno stood up and talked
|
||
about "CEV-I and II," that much of it is true. But she's creating
|
||
a false impression in your mind that she's addressing the tank
|
||
that you see in our tape -- and she's not!
|
||
|
||
HARDER: In other words, it is an "error by omission" or a "lie by
|
||
omission."
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Yeah. Smoke and mirrors.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: O.K.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: They're very good at it.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: All right. Now, what's going on with the trial right now?
|
||
We don't see anything on the national press. Yes, we get wire
|
||
services here. We do have some informants at the trial.
|
||
|
||
But we're gonna take a quick half-hour break here -- you know,
|
||
break at the half-hour for our local stations for 3 minutes --
|
||
but when we come back, I'd like you to give us an idea of the
|
||
following (and maybe if we just make a little note here): Number
|
||
1, What has come out? What has the government admitted, number 1,
|
||
so far at the trial? O.K.? What has the government admitted. Uh,
|
||
we know already that they've admitted that had David Koresh met
|
||
them at the front door and said, "Hi. Nice day, isn't it? What do
|
||
ya got for me?", that the rest of the team still would have
|
||
busted in. We know that, correct?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: That's absolutely right.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: O.K. So let's go over, when we come back, What has the
|
||
government admitted? (Number 1.) And number 2, What's going on
|
||
from your perspective? And what do you think will happen to this
|
||
trial? And then, What's next?
|
||
|
||
Stay with us, everybody. We'll be right back with Linda Thompson.
