"The Waco siege was the siege of a compound belonging to the Branch Davidians, carried out by American federal and Texas state law enforcement, as well as the U.S. military, between February 28 and April 19, 1993. The Branch Davidians were led by David Koresh and were headquartered at Mount Carmel Center ranch in the community of Axtell, Texas, 13 miles (21 kilometers) east-northeast of Waco. Suspecting the group of stockpiling illegal weapons, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) obtained a search warrant for the compound and arrest warrants for Koresh and a select few of the group's members.
The incident began when the ATF attempted to raid the ranch. An intense gun battle erupted, resulting in the deaths of four government agents and six Branch Davidians. Upon the ATF's failure to raid the compound, a siege lasting 51 days was initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Eventually, the FBI launched an assault and initiated a tear gas attack in an attempt to force the Branch Davidians out of the ranch. During the attack, a fire caused by Federal agents engulfed Mount Carmel Center. In total, 86 people, 82 of which were innocent died, including David Koresh. "
Daily reminder that you're living in a nightmarish police state.

The 90's had a lot of redpilling happenings. I became redpilled when I was a kid in the 90's into conspiracy shit. It's why I wasn't shocked by 9/11 being an "inside job" because I remember OKC was an "inside job". I still think the deep state is going to do a dirty nuke inside job and blame it on Iran and/or Russia to try to get us to fight more wars for (((them))). And remember we almost had another Waco/Ruby Ridge situation with the Bundy ranchers. I think more and more though these things will be virtual. For those that mock the Branch Davidians, you can expect channers to be treated like the Branch Davidians one day too…soon. You think the NSA doesn't know who every single person is that posts here, regardless of whether or not you use a proxy?
