David Koresh and the Mount Carmel Center Raid
Bonnie Haldeman and other survivors describe David Koresh as a kind person who previously invited the BATF to visit the Mount Carmel Center. Witnesses recount the initial moments of the 1993 raid, alleging that helicopters in a V-formation fired upon the building's south side. Infrared footage is cited as evidence that occupants were killed by gunfire before the fire consumed the structure.

00:00 That makes me think even more so that all the stories we heard in the controlled media were lies about your son. They were lies, they were lies because he was a kind gentle person too loved people and His main goal in life was to help, you know save people's souls and he didn't like anybody to be unkind to anybody else. And he also told the BATF to come on over two weeks before? He did! He told them several times to come out they were in a gun shop one day and found out that they were there asking about him and he said tell him come all over Sheriff Harwell knew him and had... The sheriff of this county said that he was a good guy and wasn't bothering anyone and it this is a good community out here. He had come out here many times uh you know just
00:40 in and talk to David. And Sheriff Parwell told me last year, he said I'm sure I'm sorry Bonnie what happened if anything I can do for you? Well we need to stand up for what we know is right and to demand that investigations be done on what happened here and see if it doesn't happen again We'd already had breakfast when I was back in my room And all of a sudden I hear, a lot of people out here in the cafeteria and I thought what's going on? Seems to be a lot of people out there and we've already eaten so what's the deal. So i go in there to find out whats going on and somebody says hey we just got word that somebody is coming it's gonna be some kind of a raid or whatever...and about that time David walked in from this side he'd come down the hall come into the cafeteria from this other side and basically confirmed it
01:28 We just heard that, you know the whole bunch of some kind of agents coming and he says I want everybody to stay cool. Go back to your rooms just be calm He said I'll go down the front door and talk them see what they want And you know try to talk to him The helicopters came in from that direction And they were coming and as they came in, David's room was here. Like this is the building his room extended out on the south side and that's what they were pointing at They were pointing at his room and they came in shooting in a V formation. The infrared with the explosion and people, the flashes that we have on infrared absolutely proved beyond a shadow of doubt that people were killed. Law of averages wouldn't state if nine people survived from a fire that people are going to come out of their back where majority of the people are. And the fact no one survived who came out of their back always escaped me I could never understand why? I had a theory but could never prove it
02:29 This infrared video proves that beyond a shadow of doubt that people were killed carry over our militarism Right into our churches to assault church people paramilitary Concept of police is a police state, you know and our Constitution was created to prevent a police state. Jeff Jamar in the congressional hearings stated categorically that the reason why April 19th was picked is because the weather was good Well, if you're putting gas into a building having a high velocity wind operative that can dissipate the gas doesn't mean that the weather was good it means that it was bad so what did he mean by the weather being good?
