Terry Liberty Parker Talks About The Federal Raid At Waco April 19th, 1993 [nUJFTHDJy4U] cover

About this episode

The Associated Press reports that jurors in the Waco trial expressed profound outrage following testimony that federal agents used tanks to collapse the Branch Davidian residence. Evidence presented in court revealed that armored vehicles were ordered to penetrate the structure while men, women, and children remained inside. Forensic reports now indicate several children died from blunt force trauma caused by the falling building rather than the subsequent fire.

Legal experts note the complete absence of indictments for tank drivers or high-ranking federal officials despite the televised deaths of American citizens. This perceived government immunity serves as a primary catalyst for the modern American militia movement. Critics argue the social contract is effectively broken when state agents face no legal consequences for lethal actions. Terry Liberty Parker and Jeff Davis utilize public access media in Austin, Texas, to bypass establishment news blackouts on these specific judicial failures.

Terry Liberty Parker delivers a staunch libertarian critique of the Department of Justice while praising the independent reporting of Jeff Davis. The segment highlights the growing divide between public access broadcasters and mainstream media outlets regarding the 1993 siege. Parker maintains that independent platforms remain the only venue for documenting the full extent of the tragedy at Mount Carmel.

00:01 The Associated Press story chronicles how outraged these jurors were by the government's own testimony about what happened at Waco to their branch Davidians. Now understand, this is after the trial is over. It's the newspaper establishment and in this particular story it's the Associated Press who are asking the jurors what did they think? What comments do they have? They were just fit to be tied, it turns out that those tanks that we watched on the day of the assault, the final assault when there was a big fire and everything. Those tanks that we watched on television were not just poking holes in the wall to insert gas into the structure

00:49 This is a residence that's occupied by men, women and children. Yet those tanks that we saw according to this trial testimony the government's testimony Those tanks were ordered to penetrate this residence occupied by men women and children The strategy...the goverment's strategy as described at the trial By the government itself was to bring this structure down This is a residence occupied by men, women and children. Our government that is supposed to be based on the ideals of freedom and liberty justice for all our government instructed its government agents to climb into tanks and roll those tanks

01:36 right into a structure that's occupied with men, women and children. And as a result some of the children that we were told the government was saving died as the structure came down and crushed skulls they died from blunt force trauma to their skulls It's like this For people who are wondering how come there's a militia movement that is growing in this country. Well, you know it used to be I'm over 50 and I was 52 just had a birthday just here recently and we used to use the phrase up in arms as sort of metaphor kind of joking metaphor people are up in arms about this or that

CHAPTER 02 / 3 Discussion

Government Immunity and the Rise of the Militia Movement

The lack of indictments for tank drivers or high-ranking officials involved in the Waco siege is cited as a primary catalyst for the growing American militia movement. Critics argue that when a government kills citizens on television without legal consequences for its agents, the social contract is broken. This environment leads individuals to feel a necessity to prepare for self-defense against a government perceived as having gone "outlaw."

02:23 But when you have a government that orders its agents to get into tanks and run those tanks through a residence occupied by men, women and children. And then there are no indictments of the tank drivers, there's no indictment of the people who ordered the tank drivers There is no indictment of any high officials At that point, the truce has broken down The phrase up in arms, the people are up in arms is the only thing that's left for them as a reality instead of it being a metaphor. So yeah, you have a growing militia movement because we now have a government that isn't technically violating the Constitution or technically creating injustices We've got a government now that does it in a big way Does it on television Doesn't even get to sweep it under the rug Testifies at trial

03:20 that what it did was order its agents to get into tanks and run the tanks through a residence occupied by men, women and children. And there are no indictments of any of these people. At the very least they should be indicted for manslaughter if not murder We haven't had that happen. And that's why you have a militia movement that is growing in this country They see a government, depending on which aspect of the militia you ask there are going to be different things that bother them and maybe we will agree with them on this issue or that issue but one point that we can all agree on as you cannot have a goverment that just arbitrarily kills people runs tanks through houses

04:06 and not even have the agents who drove the tanks be indicted. You cannot have that at that point there is no more choice you have to be up in arms, you have to be ready to deal with that government in the same way it's dealing with their citizens now I'm not advocating we raise an army and go storm Washington DC No, this is not a question of going and invading. This is a question of people feeling the need to be ready to protect themselves with deadly force if they have to against the government that has gone outlawed. To the Branch Davidians I would say you've been treated in a way that no human being should be treated let alone people on American soil. This is an outrage
