David Koresh and The Waco Massacre

Summary: DEEP DIVE - <br><br>On this episode we talk about an event that arguably changed America forever; destroyed the perceptions of law enforcement for anyone that witnessed this event on mainstream media; and irredeemably erased at least some of the faith that Americans held dearly when it came to constitutionally held aspects of the US culture like freedom and security; this time we are talking about David Koresh and The Waco Massacre.<br><br>In 1993 in Waco Texas the ATF and FBI initiated a sting on a Branch Davidian compound which resulted in a fire fight and a 51 day siege which ultimately led to the deaths of the 79 members of the so-called cult and their leader David Koresh. Investigations into the ethics and execution of these government agency order went on all through the 90s at a congressional level, but these agencies never saw justice. <br><br>Koresh and his followers were killed by the US Government; this was on suspicion of child abuse, drug production and illegal arms sale and stockpiling. Many think that these charges were trumped up and that a community like this couldn't be allowed to exist in the United States. <br><br>_____________________<br><br>Joining me on this episode is Tom O'Mahony of the wonderful Buckshot podcast and Emmet Quinn from the fantastic Totally Wired<br><br>You can find Tom and all his info here <a href="https://linktr.ee/Tomomahony" rel="noopener">https://linktr.ee/Tomomahony</a> including the tickets to the live show in Galway on 22nd August!<br><br>You can find Emmet and Totally Wired here <a href="https://www.instagram.com/totallywired2/" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/totallywired2/</a> and new live shows will be announced very soon!<br><br>_____________________<br><br>Live UK and Ireland stage shows October 2021 and January 2022<br><br>Dublin - London - Manchester - Birmingham - Newcastle - Glasgow- Liverpool<br><br>Galway 22nd August I join Tom O Mahony for the 200 episode Live Special of his Buckshot Podcast in 'The Grand Auld Stretch' in Nimmo's Pier, Galway Sunday 22nd Aug 7pm<br><br>Buy your tickets now before they are gone - click here <a href="http://www.taplink.cc/thoseconspiracyguys" rel="noopener">http://www.taplink.cc/thoseconspiracyguys</a><br><br>_____________________<br><br>This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon. <br><br>If you want to support the show and get exclusive content, ad-free episodes, access to live chats and private social media like Instagram and Discord and a whole load of other stuff click here <a href="http://bit.ly/TCG-Patreon" rel="noopener">http://bit.ly/TCG-Patreon</a><br><br>If you want to follow TCG on social platforms including the Discord, watch video versions of the livestream podcast and documentaries; or even join in on live chats about current events; buy TCG merch; get notifications of and buy tickets to upcoming live stage shows in the UK and Ireland or to just support the show on Patreon; all the links, info and instructions you can find by clicking this link <a href="http://www.taplink.cc/thoseconspiracyguys" rel="noopener">http://www.taplink.cc/thoseconspiracyguys</a>
