Topic: Infrared

A report alleges that FBI snipers fired on individuals fleeing the burning Branch Davidian church in Waco, Texas. The claim is based on Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) tape analysis by the technology's inventor, which was featured in an Academy Award-nominated documentary but allegedly ignored by mainstream news outlets.

Analysis of the Waco flare footage is questioned due to the involvement of Vector Data Systems, a defense contractor owned by Antion Systems. The hosts claim the company is biased due to lucrative, non-competitive Oracle database contracts with the Justice Department and IRS. A report from Infraspection, commissioned by Gordon Novell, allegedly debunked the government's analysis of the infrared footage.

The University of Maryland is conducting an expert analysis of video footage appearing to show flames emanating from a government tank at the Waco compound. Preliminary findings suggest the visual artifacts may be dispersal agents for CS gas, such as carbon monoxide or dust, rather than actual fire. Officials maintain that the vehicles were not equipped with flamethrowers and that no busted hydraulic lines were found during inspection.

The documentary "Waco: A New Revelation" by MGA Films presents evidence that the FBI used flammable pyrotechnic rounds during the 1993 siege, a claim the bureau denied for six years. Survivor Clive Doyle recounts his escape from the burning building while his daughter Sherry perished, contradicting FBI negotiator Clint Van Zandt’s assertion that the Davidians intentionally set the fire. Infrared footage from an FBI plane is cited as showing heat sources that the government claims prove internal arson, while survivors point to ruptured kerosene cans.

Volunteers at Mount Carmel have begun surveying the land and pouring the foundation for the new sanctuary, with a completion goal of three months. Critics of the 1993 operation compare the government's media restrictions to tactics used in Nazi Germany, noting that news cameras were kept miles away. Claims are made that infrared flare footage proves federal teams fired on individuals attempting to exit the burning building.

Doyle asserts that only nine people survived the final fire because FBI tanks blocked exit routes and demolition debris trapped occupants. He claims that survivors who exited the front of the building were spared because they were in view of long-range media cameras. However, he alleges that individuals attempting to flee from the back of the building were driven back or killed by federal gunfire, with evidence later suppressed or bulldozed.

Mike Hanson compares modern surveillance to the infrared radar systems used at the LBJ Ranch in the 1960s. He suggests that the security technology currently protecting sites like Bohemian Grove is likely far more advanced than what they encountered during their infiltration.

A caller named Jeff describes being harassed by a low-flying helicopter with a high-intensity spotlight while camping in Bastrop Park. The hosts claim this is part of a psychological effort to get the public used to surveillance. They also allege that the "Starflight" command complex uses infrared technology to see through the walls of private homes.

Footage from a law enforcement complex in Houston shows a fleet of Apache attack helicopters equipped with infrared pods and laser sound systems for spying into homes. A personal account describes being followed by a dark helicopter with no tail lights on Palmer Lane in Austin. These incidents are framed as a deliberate campaign of intimidation by federal or international special operations units.

Jack DeVault disputes the official fire investigation led by Paul Gray, which concluded the Branch Davidians started the blaze. DeVault presents an alternative theory, suggesting that the fire was likely caused by tanks breaching the building and knocking over lanterns or igniting flammable materials. He notes that the fire became visible on infrared cameras within 45 seconds of a tank backing out of the structure.

Observations from travels through Akron, Ohio, and other regions indicate a standardized rollout of surveillance and camera systems along federally funded highways. These installations match systems seen in Austin and Houston, suggesting a coordinated national monitoring effort. The infrastructure includes both visible cameras and infrared towers designed for constant public oversight.

Thibodeau recounts hearing a news report during the siege claiming the FBI received 200 gunshots without firing back, which he characterizes as a setup for a massacre. He presents color stills from FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) video taken by a surveillance plane two miles above the site. These images show multiple tanks inside the building simultaneously, contradicting official testimony.

The discussion shifts to alternative news, focusing on the "Brady II" bill and its proposed gun control measures. Concerns are raised regarding emerging surveillance technologies, including smart cards, fingerprinting, and thumbprint tracking. Additionally, the host mentions a new documentary featuring FBI infrared footage that allegedly shows tanks attacking men, women, and children during the Waco siege.

Vince May and Jeff Davis discuss the documentary "Waco: The Rules of Engagement," which features FBI infrared footage of the 1993 siege. They note that the film was surprisingly well-received at Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival despite Redford's perceived political leanings. Listeners are encouraged to visit waco93.com to find theater screenings and view evidence ignored by mainstream media.

A survivor discusses how infrared footage proves that Branch Davidians were shot while attempting to escape from the back of the building. The discussion transitions to the "Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force" (MJTF) and the consolidation of local police under federal control. Alex Jones compares the Waco and Oklahoma City events to the 1933 Reichstag fire as a means of establishing a police state.

Clive Doyle discusses the presence of Delta Force snipers and APCs during the final night of the siege. The segment also mentions a visit by Bill Clinton to a nearby power plant before his election, suggesting the area was assessed for the future operation against the "cult."

Steve Lane interviews Travis County Sheriff Margo Frazier during a tax protest regarding the construction of a $2 million helicopter base. Frazier explains that the Starflight program, primarily for medical emergencies, will be utilized for law enforcement patrols to reduce risks to officers. She confirms the use of Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) technology for night rescues and searches, while Lane questions the military nature of the equipment.

Documentary filmmaker Michael McNulty discusses his film Waco: The Rules of Engagement and the difficulties of obtaining cooperation from FBI officials like Bob Ricks and Jeff Jamar. McNulty addresses evidence of gunfire from helicopters and federal snipers firing at Branch Davidians attempting to flee the burning building. He announces a forthcoming film scheduled for July 1998 that promises to reveal who fired automatic weapons at the rear of the structure.

A speaker with a military background identifies a helicopter at the Waco site as a surveillance craft equipped with Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) lenses. The discussion recounts how David Koresh reportedly invited the ATF to inspect his weapons months before the raid via McMahon’s gun shop. The ATF is accused of ignoring these invitations in favor of creating a "media circus."

Clive Doyle clarifies that the site was a wooden church, not a fortified compound, and recounts testimony from Marjorie Thomas regarding helicopters firing through windows. The discussion explores why the British government showed little interest in the deaths of its citizens at Waco, many of whom were of Jamaican or Nigerian descent. The lack of response from the Israeli, Canadian, and New Zealand governments is also noted.
