Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 1 Num. 65
|
||
======================================
|
||
("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: All right. Thelma is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Go
|
||
ahead, please.
|
||
|
||
THELMA: Oh yes, Chuck, I would like very much to talk to your
|
||
*wonderfully* *brave* guest.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Well, go ahead, please.
|
||
|
||
THELMA: Yes, Linda.
|
||
|
||
LINDA THOMPSON: Yeah. (I'm not brave.)
|
||
|
||
THELMA: You know, I can't say how proud I am of you! And you are
|
||
the *bravest* person. You're a "female Rambo"!
|
||
|
||
HARDER: [Laughs]
|
||
|
||
THELMA: I'll tell ya. And you know, I'm doing my share. We've
|
||
made up, my husband and I, thousands of badges, uh large badges
|
||
to wear, saying "Waco Massacre," with the blood dripping down at
|
||
the top and the fire, flame coming up from the bottom. And I
|
||
passed out about a thousand. And I noticed they weren't wearin'
|
||
'em, so I started sellin' 'em! And now they're wearin' 'em.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Yeah.
|
||
|
||
THELMA: And, uh my husband wanted me to ask you if you think that
|
||
maybe the reason for Waco was so they could have that landing
|
||
strip for their large planes to bring drugs in.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Well, I'm not certain about that. We've been working on
|
||
a connection between drug- and gun-running out of Waco and *why*
|
||
there may have been this raid. I don't have any information that
|
||
directly connects these things. There's a lot of speculation that
|
||
could be made. And there has... There's definitely involvement of
|
||
Delta Force special forces, SEAL Team 6 special forces -- which
|
||
*do* have elements of the CIA in them. And if you've done any
|
||
investigation into the drug- and gun-running in this country, you
|
||
know that the CIA and our military have played a large role in
|
||
doing that. Now we have information that indicates that a CIA
|
||
operative named Faheed Hasim(?) was running drugs out of the Waco
|
||
airstrip there at TSCC(?).
|
||
|
||
THELMA: Uh-huh [understands].
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: But I don't have a direct connection to the Branch
|
||
Davidians. And there did used to be a methamphetamine lab at
|
||
Mount Carmel, but that was before Koresh came there.
|
||
|
||
So there's a lot of stuff in the background that looks
|
||
interesting. But no direct connection, no.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: All right. All right let's go ahead on to the phones
|
||
here. And I thank you very much for calling, Thelma.
|
||
|
||
Now, let's go ahead and conference in Pennsylvania. Ken, go
|
||
ahead.
|
||
|
||
KEN [apparently drunk]: How we doin'?
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Go ahead, please. Fine.
|
||
|
||
KEN: Uh, first of all. I don't know if your guest has ever read
|
||
Hitler's book. He talks about the population of the world will
|
||
triple by the year 2000.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: O.K.
|
||
|
||
KEN: O.K.? And you remember back in 1956, Kruschev beatin' his
|
||
shoe on the pulpit. He said, "We will bury you by the billions,
|
||
and we won't have to fire a shot."
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: He said, "We'll bury you from within."
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Yeah. Uh, yeah. You're right. And I thank you, Ken.
|
||
|
||
O.K. 1-800-TALK-YES is our telephone number. Let's go to Richard.
|
||
Richard, go ahead.
|
||
|
||
RICHARD: Hey, thanks. I had a question. She had made a comment
|
||
about 7.62 x .39 ammo, and the ATF.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Um-hmm [affirmative].
|
||
|
||
RICHARD: Could you clarify what you said? Did you say it had been
|
||
banned?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Right. John McGaw released a public announcement the
|
||
other day banning 7.62 x .39 ammo.
|
||
|
||
RICHARD: Can he do that, legally?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: That's *my* question. That's why I wanted to bring a
|
||
lawsuit about it. I don't think he can.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: Yeah. O.K. How can the listeners to this broadcast verify
|
||
that?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Um, I've... If you'll wait a second, I'll pull up the
|
||
press release and tell you when it came across the AP [Associated
|
||
Press] wires.
|
||
|
||
RICHARD: You know how many felons that makes in the U.S.?
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Well. I don't know. There's nothing mentioned in this
|
||
press release about whether there's a grandfather clause that, if
|
||
you already have it [i.e. the ammo], you can keep it. Um, and
|
||
that was an interesting... That was one of the things I wanted to
|
||
chase down this afternoon. Um, that... (Hang on. I'm pullin' this
|
||
up on the computer.)
|
||
|
||
HARDER: O.K.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: But they definitely did ban it. And there was no
|
||
mention of whether, if you already have it you can keep it, or...
|
||
Here we go: Ammo Ban. All right, it was on February the 4th. It
|
||
was an AP release. It says, "ATF director John McGaw has ordered
|
||
that 7.62 x .39 steel core bullets could no longer be imported or
|
||
sold commercially... And said that existing stocks could be
|
||
exported or sold only to law enforcement or government agencies."
|
||
|
||
So basically, it's not saying that you can't have what you've got
|
||
-- I misread that -- but it is saying you can't buy it anywhere
|
||
and you can't sell it anywhere in this country.
|
||
|
||
RICHARD: So that's the end of it.
|
||
|
||
THOMPSON: Uh, "McGaw wrote to all federal firearms dealers this
|
||
week that over the past several years the Bureau of Alcohol,
|
||
Tobacco and Firearms has allowed the importation..." -- *allowed*
|
||
-- notice that.
|
||
|
||
HARDER: All right. Do me a favor. We're right up against a break.
|
||
When we come back, Linda, go ahead and look at that thing and
|
||
we'll, we'll ask you to read it on the air. 'Cause it's probably
|
||
of great interest to a lot of our listeners. And I thank you for
|
||
the call, sir. We'll be right back. Don't go away.
