Topic: Wounded Knee

The 51-day standoff at Mount Carmel is noted as one of the longest in American history, surpassed potentially only by the Wounded Knee incident. While typical law enforcement standoffs are resolved within days, the extraordinary length of the Waco event is a subject of ongoing debate. Ed Dennis defended his characterization of Koresh as "insane" and "twisted" based on a review of negotiation tapes and medical reports.

The 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee is characterized as a resistance against New World Order interests targeting uranium deposits in the Black Hills. Tribal council member Dickey Wilson is accused of accepting funds to open mining operations that resulted in Lakota people dying from environmental poisoning. The segment argues that the term "globalist" is a rebranding used by the Clinton administration to mask the same top-down corporate control.

Shelly Williams recounts the 1973 Wounded Knee occupation, noting that Buddy Lamont was the only person killed during the standoff with the FBI and National Guard. The movement sought to declare the land as independent property, free from the control of the government-backed tribal leader Dickey Wilson. Williams describes the site as a spiritual location and views the conflict as his introduction to the tactics of the New World Order.

Investigative reporter James Pate provides a list of congressional contacts, including Newt Gingrich and Orrin Hatch, urging the public to demand hearings on the Waco massacre. He characterizes the ATF raid as a reckless publicity stunt akin to Custer's charge and criticizes Attorney General Janet Reno for approving a "poison gas" assault that he claims was the proximate cause of the deadly fire.

Shelly Williams, an elder of the Ute Nation, discusses the history of government abuses against Native Americans, including Wounded Knee and the ongoing struggle at Big Mountain. The hosts note that Native Americans were only granted full citizenship rights relatively recently. A parallel is drawn between the treatment of indigenous people and the Davidians, including a new detail that the Davidians attempted to use Morse code to communicate with the outside world before being blinded by FBI floodlights.
