Topic: Diesel Fuel

During the Ruby Ridge siege, a national media blackout was reportedly in effect while protesters gathered to denounce the government's actions. Journalists allegedly captured footage of a plan to douse the Weaver cabin with diesel fuel from helicopters to force the family out. One reporter was arrested for obstruction of justice, though he managed to swap his tapes before they were confiscated by the FBI, preserving evidence of the government's tactical intentions.
