Well, shit, looks like I really live in mini-russia, because everything you listed applies exactly here too.
Congressman Calls for Gun Confiscation
At least you know it. The Branch Dividians were religious kooks but generally harmless. The Feds did it to see what the public reaction would be and they were pleased. Americans just lapped up all the disinfo about the people and David. I'm not saying he wasn't a little crazy but the Feds murdered those people and the public loved it.
I mean, Koresh ousted the previous leader who was a pedophile, a woman beater, and a possible murderer. He was a good guy.
I read that Waco was supposed to be a sound bite to make the ATF look good. Thats why the news vans got to the compound BEFORE the ATF! But when the ATF bungled by literally running out of ammunition, they turned it into a siege.
The FBI played sounds of tortured rabbits on loud speakers… When the day came that they finally broke the siege, it was when some foreign leader was visiting the white house.
I never learned the truth about Ruby Ridge either! The government fucked that one up too!
I'm not making a judgement that he was good or bad. Just not who the media and the Feds made him out to be. The people there with him didn't have to be burned to death but that is what they wanted to do. It wasn't just the ATF there. The FBI the local sheriff, the Texas Rangers and DPS were there as well. It started out as a photo opt for Janet Reno and Clinton to show they were tough on crime and then as an opportunity to send a message to several sectors of the USA that they would kill you and there was nothing that anyone would do about it.
Ruby Ridge is an FBI assassination operation much like what they tried with the Bundy family stand off.
Oh, and don't forget the extra-judicial killing the FBI did with LaVoy Finicum.

How could anyone forget? If I wasn't literally on the opposite coast I probably would have been at the stronghold alongside them.
Actually they were on their way to meet the Sheriff!! They were literally just going to talk to law enforcement. If you watch the full 50 minute version, you can tell the feds intended on killing him. Unfortunately the cell phone footage from inside the car got released.
And the BLM leadership was caught with a "Kill List"!
We already live in Clown World one step away from Mad Max
Mad Max seems preferable. At least it has something akin to freedom.
