Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 8 Num. 41
======================================
("Quid coniuratio est?")
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THE SHOCK OF SATIRE AND THE SHOCK OF WACO
=========================================
Rattling in my head was "Gee. They get all fired up over a little
satire, but tell them about FBI snipers murdering people at Waco
and there's no response." Then the phone rings and it's a
reporter from the Washington Post: "Say, what's this I hear
about Orlin Grabbe admitting it's 'all a hoax?'" he asks.
Incidental to our conversation was his mention of Ambrose
Evans-Pritchard's claim regarding FBI snipers at Waco. "Ah-hah.
So it is revealed that the mighty Washington Post is aware of
Evans-Pritchard's claim!" I thought to myself. "Will the
Washington Post do a story either confirming or denying the 'FBI
snipers at Waco' charge?" I wondered.
If it was me in charge of the FBI, I would consider myself
honor-bound to answer Evans-Pritchard's charges. After all, any
FBI Director possessing a shred of self-respect must either be
outraged at the aspersions being cast on his Bureau or furious
that any organization connected with his good name has done
something so despicable. No decent human being could leave such
charges unanswered.
And of course, just imagine if someone were to do a satire of the
FBI! Oh-hoh! Would Louie Freeh ever hit the roof!
This past year, the inimicable Orlin Grabbe has charged that
Vince Foster was murdered, that Foster was a traitor and a spy,
that Hillary Clinton was his partner, that a wave of political
retirements this season is due to bribed politicians having been
found out by a rogue CIA team of hackers calling themselves the
"Fifth Column" -- yet Washington Post does not call Conspiracy
Nation to ask, "Hey, what's going on?" THEN, Professor Grabbe
dabbles in the infamous black arts of satire, and "ring... ring"
goes my phone. Suddenly the Washington Post has awakened; could
it be there is a hot story here?
Like I say, rattling around in my head was surprise at what
upsets people: U.S. Government murders trapped Branch Davidians
at Waco -- ho-hum. Orlin Grabbe writes a satirical essay -- HEY!
WE DON'T WANT NO "SATIRE" 'ROUND HERE!
One Branch Davidian who by the grace of God survived both being
burned to death as well as the apparent FBI snipers was
Livingstone Fagan. You can read all about him and the Waco
Massacre in *The Ashes of Waco* (by Dick Reavis) and *The
Davidian Massacre* (by Carol Moore).
Here is recent contact info for Livingstone Fagan, provided by
Carol Moore:

Sb: ROLC: Davidian Prisoner Moved to Leavenworth
Fm: Lance Arron, Hamilton > INTERNET:lancehamilton@sisna.com
Davidian Prisoner Livingstone Fagan, who received a sentence of
40 years based on perjured evidence by FBI agents, has been moved
to the Federal Correctional Institute at Leavenworth. Fagan has
refused to work and otherwise cooperate with authorities since
placed in federal prisons and has been in solitary confinement --
"the hole" -- for almost two years. During this time he wrote a
book about his experiences during the siege and about David
Koresh's interpretation of the seven seals. (It is available
from me on e-mail. Please e-mail me at my other
address--cmoore@upx.net. I'll be able to send out copies after
7/10.)
Feel free to write Livingstone letters of support. While he may
not be able to reply, the fact he gets lots of letters upon his
moving there should impress the authorities and hopefully make it
less likely he will suffer any abuse or harassment from guards.
Also, he gets pretty bored in there and enjoys receiving books
and magazines on religious and political issues. If you would
like to contribute some money for him to write his children in
England and others and make phone calls (when they let him near a
phone), send postal money orders with his registration number on
them. Even $5.00 will be appreciated.
