According to the agency, there were three of four video cameras pointing at the front door that could tell you everything that happened at the front door of that building that day. They claim they can't find a single one of them. Every one of those videotapes vanished. Waco: A New Revelation is the film that triggered a new Congressional investigation of the Waco tragedy, and caused the Justice Department and the FBI to reverse their long-held positions on Waco. It has generated a firestorm of events unprecedented in the history of documentary filmmaking.

After six years of painstaking investigation, the complete story of the tragedy in Texas is finally coming to light. This compelling feature-length documentary presents new revelations about the events that led up to the deaths of 79 men, women and children at Mount Carmel on April 19, 1993.

In the spring of 1998, under the Freedom of Information Act, investigators from MGA Studio's film division became the first private citizens to gain access to the Waco investigation evidence lockers. What they found was shocking. Upon examination, the evidence gathered under the supervision of federal officials appeared to contradict the FBI's congressional testimony, raising serious and disturbing questions about events surrounding the siege at Mt. Carmel and the deaths of the Davidians. Gene CullenSince 1993, former members of the FBI, former Special Forces and CIA operatives have come forward with new evidence to suggest that the FBI's claim is inaccurate.

  2. And? How come nothing came from this new evidence? Was that shoved under the rug, too?

    How they can see obvious gunfire and blame it on sunlight, or whatever they said, is one of the most stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Congress blatantly ignored their eyes and let ***holes lie to them.

    Our government actually used our own military against its own citizens!! That’s a crime but I’m not shocked it happened under the Clinton administration. Hell, he was probably high on coke when he gave the orders, f**king druggy.

    And the judge, what he did — that really pisses me off.

    But sure, the government was absolutely behind this, but they totally had nothing to do with the Oklahoma City bombing or 9/11. Nope. Bush and Cheney testified in secret behind closed doors without being placed under oath and with no video or audio recordings and the 9/11 Commissioners weren’t allowed to take notes all because they had absolutely nothing to hide. It’s totally normal to insist on complete secrecy when you claim you have nothing to hide.

  3. As I was really small when this happened I had never heard about it, but after reading chapter 3 in "The Boy who was raised as a Dog" I got very interested in the topic. For all of those who believe maybe most about David was made up by the FBI, just as an excuse to open fire, I really reccommend you to have a look at that book. It really might help you see things through.

  4. So anybody that believes the government had the right to do this, probably also voted for Hillary in the last election. The Clinton's were in power when this all went down. They messed up on this, but to do a right to cover up a bad, what do they do. You blow up a building with FBI and children in it. So they took a pawn to do it, catch him, seclude him and then execute him. Dirty deed covered up. Now government has more power and Waco and Oklahoma bombing where just religious fanatics. Beware of your government and keep guns and ammo close at hand because there will be a day you will need them to protect yourself.

  10. As I tried to point out on other sites but since all MEDIA including Social Media, are all IN IT together, by in it, I mean, as a GLOBAL ESTABLISHMENT Against Mr. Trump. But, if you look at what really happened TO the Branch Davidians, Ruby Ridge, Bundy Ranch, & then All the BODIES, & Victims, All the Common Denominators, Tentacles of CORRUPTION & Extreme WEALTH, All Connected, All Collectively Against the ONE MAN Who Truly wants to DRAIN THE SWAMP that IS DC, & the ESTABLISHMENT..HE Also knows, the TENTACLES of Corruption, Lies & Again, EXTREME WEALTH, are all TIED, ALL CONNECTED, & yes, IF Hitlery GETS Propped Up as the NEXT GLOBAL PUPPET, what happened to those Branch Davidians, Ruby Ridge, & Bundy by BLM? Will Look like a Fairy Tale, & won't even be the Top of the WORST CRIMES, Not after THEY ARE ALL DONE..Destroying what IS LEFT of Our Country, & the Rest of the GLOBE actually. What Country is LEFT?? & Come on, There is NO Level OF GOV. Or Agency or DEPT. that IS NOT CORRUPT..or Wrapped with those Tentacles of Corruption, Wealth, & Lies that CONTROL Everything. I MEAN..EVERYTHING..Fact is, It's not just OUR Nation that will Continue to DECLINE..However, WE WERE THE BIG PRIZE..NO Doubt. I'm just trying to say, if you look at all that's been done, all they've gotten away with, ALL were TESTS, to see exactly HOW MUCH They COULD DO, How they could USE the MEDIA, & Just LIE after LIE, after LIE. They know, how to DIVERT, DIVIDE, & what comes next? CONQUER. Because they've Intentionally WEAKENED everything. They BROKE US Literally..in EVERY WAY. The MASSES follow the LEADERS?? Sure, to Slaughter, & those of us who DO know better, DO think for OURSELVES, DO HAVE COMMON SENSE?? Well, it's a shame,because WE'LL ALL GO DOWN, Together, Just as those of the BRANCH Davidians, & those at yes, even Benghazi..Vince Foster?? & So MANY MORE..seems one things always Follows the CLINTONS...& None of it IS GOOD. After all, SOROS is THEIR "FRIEND"..The FBI, DOJ, WH, CIA, Every AGENCY & DEPT..all INFECTED..with Corruption, & Again, MONEY DOES END UP BEING, the ROOT TO IT ALL..ALL THAT'S EVIL..IF ANY "POLITICIAN" Really wanted to HELP those who NEED IT THE MOST, like the Same People & Children, & Countries, IN Extreme Poverty, Still Dying of Diseases & Lack of Food & Water today, as much as they Were & Still Are , going back as far as I can remember, FOR just my time remembering as a child, & Seeing it on TV, & asking MY GRANDMOTHER, WHY ARE ALL THOSE KIDS & People Hungry, Starving, & Have NO HOMES?? Well, those SAME PLACES, SAME COUNTRIES, Including in OUR OWN, are STILL Just as Poor, Hungry & Homeless, or Living in Extreme Poverty, & Danger as they were over 50+ years ago..Nothing has changed, except TIME & TECHNOOLOGY..the Gov. is just as CORRUPT if Not More, & the PEOPLE & those who are in Extreme Need, are Still in the SAME PLACES..again, including within our OWN Country. They just try & Hide it, since now the MEDIA & PRESS Are ALL IN as those who NO LONGER Are, if ever?? UN-BIASED..OH No, there's NO MORE..JOURNALISM..or Truths in Journalism. After all, Again, All about MONEY, AKA Ratings & Jobs for them..Selfishness & Greed still RULE. They the now, GLOBAL ESTABLISHMENT, are just through More Money, More Technology & More Time, They are MORE..Connected, Strong through the UNITY WE Should have, but, it's only for those with the EXTREME Wealth, those truly of less than 1% of the World, Not just the former US OF A..after all, WHAT'S UNITED about US NOW?? Except for those who ARE United AGAINST Any who are NOT PART Of the GLOBAL Establishment? I know this seems like the rantings of a crazy person, But trust me, I WISH I was crazy, I'm feeling crazy, because I remember too much, & don't forget, when you put it all together, it is INSANITY. Because We Continue to MAKE THE SAME..MISTAKES, & become more & more, complacent & therefore..Complicit..& Very Lazy, by the time Enough realize what's happened, It WILL be TOO LATE. Pretty much there already.

  11. I'm glad a couple above pointed out that the guns at the compound were legal. Also that it is standard operating procedure for anyone you want to get rid of, to deem them a child molester or a danger. That very same thing has happened to people I know. The weasel lawyers bald face lie on their filings to court and in person to the court, the corrupt judge accepts it as fact, even though there is no evidence, just hearsay by the lawyer which can be proven Buel Shyte but not allowed or disregarded. THAT happens every day in courts across amerika. THAT is your govt today. Bought and paid for. Or doing what is best for them, not what is right and true.

    Jeremy(commenter above), it truly is a hair puller as to why people absolutely refuse to look at evidence which goes against what people first thought. I know people like this also. Here is my take on them:

    There are a few too many people in this world who just up and decide what they think is then fact, without nearly enough evidence to progress from "seems like" to "fact". This condition manifests ESPECIALLY in those events or situations where it impacts their "world view" or "desired view of how things are". Meaning all their life they were taught and believed that govt is good because it is just a bunch of people trying to do good. They were taught and believed that "the police"(all policing forces) are there to protect you from the bad, so they are your friend if you are good. They were taught to always listen to and obey authority in school and at home.

    So if there is any possible way to avoid obliteration of this World View of theirs, "that govt is their friend and there to help", that is what they will do. They absolutely cannot handle the implications of it not being true, what they want to believe about govt. That would make them out to be fools. Their egos are all wrapped up around "being right" otherwise they would not NEED to up and decide they were right without the necessary evidence. They have a serious emotional attachment to their World View of govt being people trying to do good. It is what they need to believe to feel safe and secure. So to protect that need along with their ego, they avoid all that would indicate otherwise.

    I had a friend who blurted out "I don't believe that!" when I offered up some additional information I knew he wasn't getting from the major TV news, his only source of info, about the Cliven Bundy standoff regarding grazing rights in Nevada. The bit of info was that as soon as it was discovered that Harry Reid, longtime congressman from Nevada, wanted the land for future solar farms, like the development his son was arranging on similar land, the Federales were pulled. He and his cronies wanted the whole thing (and that info) to die out quick, didn't want big investigations.

    Now if Trump truly wanted to effect change, to make amerika into America again. He would take a substantial chunk of dough and have his kids run a COMPETING MAJOR TV NETWORK where they show Documentaries like this and many others. Report actual news instead of the hog poop and chicken crap (two of the most pungent varieties) and why I haven't watched TV in years. It is very difficult not to be influenced by TV even if you know better, so best just to turn it off and do something more productive.

    What separates most of us? Good information. Propaganda often is simply the omission of information, "the rest of the story" or the actual facts. Look how much was omitted about Obama in 2008 by the major news who was supposed to expose rather than provide cover.

    It is so sad that only a handful from the original colonies stood up to make the usa happen. From my experiences of standing up to protect some communities from being ravaged by big corporate-govt greed, and so few standing along side, it would be the same in any physical opposition, which would be UNWISE anyway. As others have pointed out, they have the advanced weaponry and know how to use it well enough.

    Further, all that is needed to "stand up" only takes another hour or two a month, to see to it decent honorable people are running for all offices from all parties in numbers. That way it doesn't matter who the fools vote for, someone good will get in. That is the only thing that can and ever could save the usa. Information is power and controlling the information and misinformation is what the weasels have had on their side far too long.

    I hear nonsense from supposedly learned men like Mark Levin, that a constitutional convention is needed to enact amendments and changes to prevent the abuses that are going on now. If the weasels are ignoring the constitution now, what would make them Not ignore it later; especially with something they like even less? Even worse, some of those supposed "helpful" re-wordings seem to be most beneficial to a police state. Just because someone claims to be for the people doesn't mean they actually are ...or aren't misguided in regards to some things.

    DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK !!! Do not be a nodding nor bleating sheep.

    Do at least lead yourself. Others will inquire. As little as it really takes to toss the bums out with a vote and see to it decent people are running, don't expect your friends to be the ones to be helping you, unless you are very lucky. Make new friends. My friends are either too selfish (only desire to do the minimum of voting for whatever the BanksterCorproGovtMedia complex puts in front of them) or have that messed up world view that govt is the good guys. I've tried to see things from their point of view but cannot seem to get my head that far up my backside.

  14. The ONE thing I never saw discussed was Bill Clinton's role in the raid. As commander in chief, his signature had to be on the Posse Comitatus waiver before any tanks left Fort Hood. ATF violated their own safety rules by setting up the siege while Koresh was inside the compound where he could organize his followers into resisting. Gee, what could possibly go wrong if you surround a doomsday cult with tanks and troops? Per standard operating procedure, they should have arrested Koresh when he went into town to collect the mail for the compound, which he regularly did. He could have been easily taken, leaving his followers leaderless.

  15. Looking back at this horrible mass murder(by the ATF and FBI) one starts to see clearly the pattern that has emerged historically in the US and unfortunately throughout the world now. It all seemed to start with Ruby Ridge-wtc-Waco-Oklahoma city-Wtc and then came Bali-Spain and London! Doesn't take a genius to see who is the real enemy here!

  16. The sound was cut off early in the film and I could not watch it but I know what transpired, a criminal holocaust against a religious group that was not bothering anybody. America sucks when criminals like the ATF. and crooked politicians can get away with murder!

  17. +Just remember this , the government runs and has been running child kidnap for profit rings for decades, and anytime they need to demonize they bring out the tried and true method of
    "THEY ARE CHILD MOLESTERS" in the dumbed down public mind this is all that's needed to condemn and convict. NOTHING else ,even admitting they lied- 'made a mistake' wont undo that type of damage .
    The devil has many children working for him

  18. This documentary to me doesn't so much vilify our government as it does the human species as a whole. To think that so many many people were blinded to the actual events and still to this day, as jeremy pointed out, refuse to look truth in the face.. It's utter madness... It has happened throughout human history and will continue to happen. People we live in an insane world. It doesn't take much to push a mass of individuals into mass hysteria. A little fear a little propaganda... What do you think the war in Iraq is? This same disgusting tragedy is going to keep unfolding until our species no longer exists.

  19. For all you right wingers, christian extremist, and fascists that use Waco as an excuse for your hatred of government, citing some imagined leftist plot, pay attention. The most telling, and important scene in this documentary is the scene showing a sheet the Davidians hang out of a window during the siege. "RODNEY KING WE UNDERSTAND". It is not the blacks, or the muslims, or the gays who are your enemies. It is the government and powerful corporations that install and militarize those governments. They are enemy of all us people.

  20. Watched this documentary, I remember it very vaguely when I was young, all the adults told me "he was raping children, he deserved it" so for kicks, all these years later, I asked my mom to have a look at this film. She refused, and claimed that "no sane" person would ever attempt to defend a pedophile. I had to explain to her that the FBI admitted they made that up, and she still refuses. She used to be Seventh Day Adventist, so it is wierd to me that she refuses to even view it once. Apparently media blackouts and lies are very very goddamn effective.

    As a side note, why are people I meet that are indoctrinated by the state, and believe every word, so unwilling to look at any other evidence than that produced by abc cnn and fox? I don't get it.

    And did Rumsfeld actually seem like a decent dude in this flick, he seemed pretty pissed off about this whole thing, I always pictured him as being the dark overlord, and after thinking about WHY he would align himself against Janet Reno and the FBI actually makes sense if he wanted to gain popularity and seem like a really good person... I mean, it's just strange, here he is young, going off on the FBI for doing this, and as an old man, he sanctions and condones mass murder on a much higher scale... I dunno, I guess I still think they are ALL full of beans and rice and they only play nice when it makes them appear good to the public.

  21. Watching this unfold in the beginning,I remember clearly the media and their ideas about getting the scoop or portraying David Koresh as a child mollester at the time had me convinced that what was unfolding was a mass suicide and typical of a fanatic such as the Jonestown massacre or suicide solution to end all problems affiliated with a religious order hell bent on making a life for themselves to be orderly and just and that all stay away and be non judgemental. That was my naive way of thinking and believing that what the media and law enforcement were telling the truth to the world.How wrong can I be in sentencing this mass murder as a trivial mistake to be blamed on one person.Nearly twenty years later and watching the absolute proof that a bunch of gungho military weapons men can try to justify their reasoning for murder and still try to lie and blame one person for their happy day RAMBO style tactics.What a sad injustice to think that they are right and even after the tapes that clearly show murder with intent to silence.For David Foster to kill himself clearly tells a completely different picture and for one person who kills a women at RUBY RIDGE to have a green light and once again kills someone else and is never punished makes it perfectly clear for me to state that injustice is a serious problem for us and for the Government who sit and listen intently at an Inquiry,only to make remarks such as the " Butler did it" sends a clear picture to the people who place them their,They are above the law and their is nothing we can do about it.I for one would really like to know the person or persons who were spraying machinegun rounds into the part of that compound that clearly was not on fire and the clear evidence of bodies that were recovered had signifigant trauma from bullets not death bye fire but evidence that clearly was that those who were trying to escape the flames were murdered for silence.The LORD works in mysterious ways and even after twenty years the answers that will never come to lite are in the souls of those who were their and took part in a dispicable way killing children have that conscience over their souls and they will pay.Most certainly for anyone who authorized that massacre will in the end meet their maker and justice that will be far more gruesome than on this planet will be waiting for them as they stand and lower their heads in shame.This was a very good thorough doc and i am convinced that a cover-up is still waiting to be revealed from pressure that one day maybe one day will come to life from honesty and truth.Highly doubtful but hey thats my way of seeing it.

  22. Label someone a child molester and the people will want justice. Those that surrounded David Koresh were biblical scholars many with a PhD.
    Was the second coming of christ disrupted because of the events at waco? Wonder why the entire compound was picked up and reassembled in an "Area 51 compound" along with a foot and a half of the earth it rested on?
    What happened in Waco will eventually come to light.

  23. I worked in Waco when this happened. It was common knowledge that David Koresh came into town regularly and that when law enforcement asked him to come in he did. He would have come in - all they had to do was ask him.

    A Waco law enforcement officer who was injured also worked security for Southern Farm Bureau. He and others entered a window, yelled something like "Waco PD surrender" and he got shot. He said they were told Koresh was crazy and dangerous and had automatic weapons. I asked him if he really believed that what was he thinking jumping in a window with only a hand gun and WHY would he expect them to surrender? Maybe he watches too many movies.

    If black trailers pull up on any ranch in Texas and people in black jump out and start shooting almost any Texan would shoot back. While if I were them I would not have had weapons, that does not change the fact that they were murdered by our government and the children were primary targets.

    They are right - this is only one of many incidents and only the beginning. I hope someone reads this and takes a message to the survivors. God called some of those who were ready home. Those whose hearts weren't totally ready walked away. Those who were most called are in prison still providing testimony by example to bring others to the Truth.

    Just as God called on a few chosen individuals such as Corrie Ten Boom and Alice Herz Sommer to witness in Nazi concentration camps he still today calls his disciples to witness in places where there is the least hope. He gives them the courage to hold it together and serve as examples in places none of us would wish to be sent. I have no doubt He blesses them greatly for their sacrifices.
