The FBI and the Cult Awareness Network are accused of using the 1978 Jonestown tragedy as a propaganda tool to prime the public for a mass suicide narrative in Waco. Researcher Mac White argues that both Jim Jones and David Koresh were targeted with similar accusations of sexual deviancy and child abuse to destroy their credibility. The segment suggests that the "suicide pact" claims were manufactured to justify the use of lethal force.

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.
