Topic: Jeffrey Jamar

Following the departure of Kathy Schroeder and Oliver Gyarfas on March 12, 1993, the FBI cut electricity and implemented spotlights to disrupt SOS signals. Mike Pinera of the band Iron Butterfly suggested using high-decibel music, specifically "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," as psychological warfare to drive residents out. Special Agent Dick Schwein oversaw the implementation of these sounds during the evening shifts with approval from the Strategic Information and Operations Center (SIOC).

The FBI used flashbang grenades to prevent Branch Davidians from collecting rainwater in the courtyard starting April 7, 1993. On Good Friday, April 9, Steve Schneider received permission to light incense canisters, but the FBI simultaneously decided they would not fight any fires that might develop. That same evening, Schneider was targeted with a flashbang grenade while attempting to speak with agents near a tank.

David Thibodeau criticizes cult deprogrammer Rick Ross for claiming the Branch Davidians planned the fire for six months. He accuses federal authorities, including Jeffrey Jamar and ATF commanders, of lying to Congress and the public about the siege. Thibodeau notes that raid planners Konyacki and Sarabin were initially fired but later reinstated with back pay after threatening to subpoena phone records from Washington.

Thibodeau identifies FBI Special Agent Jeffrey Jamar and ATF's Dan Conroy as key figures responsible for the Waco operation. He shows images of personal property destroyed by tanks, including a trailer of motorcycles and a small home belonging to a 70-year-old woman named Trudy. He characterizes these actions as punishment for the group's refusal to surrender.
