[From an interview with Linda Thompson on the *For the People*
|
||
radio show, Feb. 11, 1994. Host is Chuck Harder.]
|
||
|
||
[Continued...]
|
||
|
||
CHUCK HARDER: Hello, everybody. Hi. Chuck Harder, *For The
|
||
People*.
|
||
|
||
Well there is some light shining on the Waco matter. And that
|
||
searchlight is directed by one Linda Thompson, who is an attorney
|
||
and who is investigating this independently. She has produced 2
|
||
videotapes. One has pretty much gone across the United States,
|
||
one way or another, called "Waco, the Big Lie." She's got a
|
||
totally new, updated version, with a *tremendous* amount of new
|
||
footage; stuff never been seen, a lot of it. Got in different
|
||
ways (and we'll not go into that.) But the point of it is... it's
|
||
called "Waco, the Big Lie Continues," and we're offering it
|
||
[...info on how to obtain...]
|
||
|
||
And Linda is on the line. And we're talking about the Waco
|
||
matter. Uh, where we left off last hour... we're now at the 911
|
||
tapes.
|
||
|
||
LINDA THOMPSON: Well you were asking about the proof of the
|
||
helicopters firing...
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Yeah. Right.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: ...first. And just a quick rundown of that: We have the
|
||
children's own stories that the helicopters fired into 'em.
|
||
Annetta Richards, who was one of the old ladies that came out
|
||
with the kids said that. Dick DeGuerin, the attorney who went in,
|
||
saw the roof was full of bullet holes -- *he* said that. He also
|
||
said that a nursing mother and a child had been killed in that
|
||
room. Then we have the "critique" of the ATF report by the
|
||
investigators, saying they should have used helicopters that
|
||
*had* firepower -- which is a lie, because we have a picture
|
||
showing one of the helicopters with a .308 machine gun in it, and
|
||
there were .308 bullets recovered from the upstairs room.
|
||
|
||
So all those things, so far, are proof of the helicopters firing
|
||
in. And then we also have the 911 tapes where the Branch
|
||
Davidians call the police and they say, throughout that 911 tape
|
||
you've got one fellow saying, "Here come the helicopters again!
|
||
And with more guys and more guns!" and "The helicopters are gonna
|
||
shoot down at us." You know, things like that, throughout the 911
|
||
tape...
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Um-hmm. [Indicates he understands]
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: ...talking about the helicopter firing on 'em!
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Um-hmm. [Indicates he understands]
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: So I have no doubt that that... you know, to me, that
|
||
is a given.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: O.K. Can we prove that the government and/or the
|
||
helicopters (which is also the government) fired first?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Well, that is the only thing that makes sense. And you
|
||
can see the helicopters. The ATF report admits that the
|
||
helicopters got there about a half hour before they did. They got
|
||
there too soon.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Um-hmm. [Indicates he understands]
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: And in the footage that *is* available, you can see the
|
||
helicopters off on the horizon coming back for a second pass. So
|
||
yes they *were* already there. Yes they *have* already been
|
||
across. And with all this other evidence that they fired into the
|
||
roof, it only makes sense that that's who fired first. Uh, and
|
||
that's what the Branch Davidians are saying too. The two... the
|
||
older lady that came out, she said that,...
|
||
|
||
HARDER: O.K.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: ...that that was the first firing which... You see,
|
||
what does that do? Whoever set this up was really pretty smart
|
||
because it makes both sides think the other side shot first. And
|
||
neither side is aware that it's coming from the helicopter at
|
||
that point.
|
||
|
||
And you remember the ATF, when they first reported all this, they
|
||
said, "They had a machine gun!" You know, "They had a .50 caliber
|
||
machine gun firing at us!" And then it turns out they didn't have
|
||
any .50 caliber machine gun. But the ATF wasn't crazy when they
|
||
were saying they heard machine gun fire. They were telling the
|
||
truth. It came from a .308, which is a fairly heavy caliber
|
||
machine gun, that was in the helicopter.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: All right. So... So here we have, essentially, a
|
||
government that through its agents has murdered citizens -- call
|
||
it what you like. And now you tell me that they are essentially
|
||
throwing the trial, so that some, or many, of the Branch
|
||
Davidians who survived will most likely be acquitted.
|
||
|
||
What does that mean?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Well, they're controlling... The whole thing from
|
||
beginning to end has been damage control on what's gonna be
|
||
released to the public. What they *don't* want the public to
|
||
know, from the first day, is that they killed children. 'Cause
|
||
you remember, all the propaganda that came out was: They were
|
||
doing this *because* of the children. We were all supposed to
|
||
believe that this was out of concern for the children; that
|
||
somehow they're going to protect these children and save these
|
||
children. That was the pitch. That was the angle that they chose
|
||
to pitch this from.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Um-hmm. [Indicates he understands]
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Last thing they could afford to do is admit that they
|
||
killed kids the first day.
|
||
|
||
And then the last bit of cover-up that we're getting, for the
|
||
final day they killed children, too. There were 17 children under
|
||
the age of 5 killed in the final conflagration. So they can't
|
||
admit [any responsibility for] that either.
|
||
|
||
*All* of what we're seeing right now is damage control, to make
|
||
sure that just enough gets out that the same story is
|
||
perpetuated: That David Koresh was a lunatic, these people were
|
||
brainwashed, it's all their fault -- but these particular people
|
||
[on trial] probably didn't do too much (that they're going to get
|
||
acquittals on). *That's* going to be the story. That's what
|
||
they're doing is damage control.
|
||
|
||
The *real* story is, the ATF raided this place and they did use a
|
||
plan that was configured in conjunction with Special Forces. The
|
||
head of the team, Bill Buford, is ex-Special Forces. All the
|
||
planning was done hand-in-hand with 7th Special Forces out of
|
||
Fort Bragg. That is in the ATF report.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: All right, now wait a minute. Let's do this: a quick 2
|
||
minute break here. But when we come back, I want to know what the
|
||
original plan was -- according to the information you have --
|
||
what was the original plan? And why?
|
||
|
||
We'll be right back, with Linda Thompson.
