Note from Rumor Mill:

Mack White is an excellent investigator and researcher -- and political cartoonist satirist with a "conspiracy bent".

He recently told Rumor Mill that the Department of Public Service in Austin, TX was the Texas agency which released the Texas Rangers documentation on Waco.

Just recently Mack covered the story of the DPS employees who claimed that "the air" made them sick.

The following is included at the end of "Waco, Vince Foster, and the Secret War" by Mack White. After you read this article, you will wonder, as Rumor Mill is wondering, if the "biological or chemical attack" on DPS has anything to do with a quid pro quo or "tit for tat", in an effort to either punish them for releasing the Waco evidence, or threaten them to keep them from releasing anything else.

In other words, it appears to Rumor Mill that the Bush Family KNOWS what happened at WACO and someone is trying to keep them from blowing the whistle.

Read the following which was written by Rumor Mill in 1999:

From Mack White's article:
Note 1: In September 1999, Rumor Mill Newsletter reported on the Internet that recent revelations regarding Waco in the mainstream media were the result of factional fighting at the highest levels of power. According to this theory, the Bush family has been moving away from the Clinton/New World Order faction. Allegations with regard to Gov. George W. Bush's cocaine usage are supposedly pressure tactics to bring the Bush family back into the New World Order fold. However, the Bush counter-move has been to reveal information on Waco, which would be damaging to the Clinton/New World Order faction. This appears a distinct possibility, since much of the new evidence on Waco has come from the Texas Department Public Safety, an agency controlled by Gov. Bush. It will be interesting to see what develops in the weeks ahead. The Clinton term in office began with Waco, and it appears it may end with Waco.

Waco, Vince Foster, and the Secret War
by Mack White

In the year after the infamous fire at Waco, I met the surviving Branch Davidians. It was through a friend of mine, Richard Mosley, who produced the documentary Day 51: The True Story of Waco.

Previously I had done some research on Jonestown, the CIA mind control facility in Guyana which had come to a spectular end in 1977. Officially, Jonestown was a mass suicide, and when the Mt. Carmel complex in Waco caught on fire, the FBI immediately labeled it "another Jonestown." In reality, however, Jonestown itself was not "another Jonestown." Among other things, my research had turned up the fact that most of the Jonestown dead had not drunk the Evil Kool-Aid, as is generally believed; they had been either forcibly injected with cyanide or simply shot.

So, when Richard interviewed me for his documentary, I said: "It's ironic that Jonestown, which the FBI used to explain away Waco, was itself another conspiracy and coverup."

The documentary was finished the following April, one year after the fire. Richard invited me to attend a premiere screening in Waco with the surviving Branch Davidians. This came at an opportune time, for I had just accepted an assignment from The Nose magazine to do a three-page piece of comics journalism, "Waco: One Year Later" (later reprinted in Villa of the Mysteries#2).

I drove to Waco on a Wednesday night (the first anniversary date, April 19, was exactly one week away) and met them at the residence of Dr. Dewey Millay. The doctor was not a Davidian himself, but had treated several Davidians over the years, thus knew them well. After the fire he had given shelter to the small group of survivors. They were living in trailers parked on his property.

There were about a dozen Davidians in attendance that night. These included: Clive Doyle, who had taken on the role of leader; Sheila Martin, the wife of Wayne Martin; and Wally Kennett, a young man who had been away from Mt. Carmel when it was first raided by the ATF, thus was on the outside for the entire siege.

I found these people to be--well, just that--people, not the fiendish "cultists" described by the mainstream media. They were a quiet people, not at all pushy with their religion, and seemed, more than anything else, saddened and bewildered by what had happened to them. Many had lost family members in the fire; all had lost friends. They made a point of telling me that the very idea of a "mass suicide" was fantastic to them, and completely alien to their beliefs.

One of them said, "People are always asking why didn't we let the children go? Well, we did let some children go, and here's what happened . . ."

He described the children--frightened--being herded into a big room full of ATF agents. The children were each carrying a little bundle of clothes and a toy or two. On their shirts were pinned notes describing medical and other needs.

The children were lined up. Then, one by one, the ATF agents yanked their little bundles out of their hands and threw them in a pile on the floor. Toys were smashed before their eyes. And the little notes--lovingly written by worried mothers who would never be seen alive again--were ripped off, wadded up, and thrown on the ground.

The Davidians also told me how, during the previous year, they had all been interviewed by a woman reporter from ABC's 20/20.They had told her many things, such as how the Davidians who had run out the back of the flaming building--the side not covered by television cameras--had been killed by FBI sniper fire.

The reporter had been excited by these revelations, and told them it was going to be a powerful segment. "Be sure to watch," she told them. They did, and were dismayed to see that their interviews had been liberally edited. All their most serios allegations had been left on the cutting rom floor. The censorship was so bad the reporter called them the next day and apologized. It was not her fault, she told them. It had been her producer in New York who had censored the story.

Fortunately, Day 51was not subject to censorship. Among the matters dealt with in that documentary was the FBI sniper fire. Yet, at that early date, there was no evidence to support the testimony of surviving Davidians. Since then, however, another documentary has appeared--Waco: The Rules of Engagement--in which infrared video taken by a surveillance helicopter clearly shows sniper fire, as well as tanks firing incendiary devices into the building.

This video footage, incidentally, is widely believed to have been leaked by William Colby, former director of the CIA. At this time he was involved with the Strategic Investments newsletter, the source of information on various scandals regarding President Bill Clinton. Colby later died in a mysterious boating accident. His name is on the "Clinton Body Count," along with Vince Foster and a ghastly, ever-growing number of Clinton associates whose deaths have been suspicious.

Since it can easily be established that the Davidians did not set themselves on fire, but rather were burnt to death, and shot, by order of the Clinton administration, the next question is why. What was the motive for this atrocity?

Many believe that Waco was a test--the first muscle flexed by a new police state to see if the American people would stand for such an outrage, and to condition them for more outrages in the future. I believe this is so. But I do not believe it is the only explanation. What I wonder is: Why the Branch Davidians? Why were they singled out?

Day 51interviewed Davidian Wally Kennett, who stated the ATF was in actuality not looking for an illegal arsenal when they raided Mt. Carmel on February 28, 1993. This makes sense. It explains why the ATF went ahead with the raid on February 28, when they knew that most of the arsenal (a licensed gun shop, by the way) had been taken to Austin for a gun show that morning.

What the ATF was really looking for, Kennett says, was information stored on a computer--information which had been compiled by two Davidians--Jeff Little and Wayne Martin, both of whom were later killed in the final assault.

Jeff Little was known by the Davidians as a "computer expert" who had previously worked for the Yamaha Corporation, where he was involved in a project to modify a law enforcement software to contain a "trap door."

The Octopus: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro,by Kenn Thomas and the late Jim Keith, details how the Reagan Justice Department stole PROMIS, a law enforcement software, from the firm INSLAW, and modified it to contain a "trap door." PROMIS was then sold by the government to various entities, such as foreign intelligence agencies. The trap door allowed outside monitoring of that agency's computer transactions.

The article "Fostergate" by Jim Norman--written for Forbes,then killed by Forbes board member Caspar Weinberger (but later published in Media By-Pass)--describes Vince Foster, the late White House Special Counsel and law partner of Hillary Clinton, as the overseer of a National Security Agency project to install the modified PROMIS in the banking industry. This was done through Foster's involvement with the Arkansas bank data company Systematics, a company connected with the NSA and CIA.

Later, the story goes, Foster fell victim to a group of CIA renegades known as the Fifth Column who were working to eradicate government corruption. Supposedly, Fifth Column operatives were using the modified PROMIS to empty the Swiss bank accounts of government officials.

Foster was one of their victims. One day he checked the balance of his Swiss account and found it empty, and knew he was in trouble. Formerly this account had held money he was paid for his role in the October Surprise affair.

The October Surprise was to have been Jimmy Carter's ticket to reelection in the campaign against Ronald Reagan. As has been well documented, a deal had been worked out with the Iranian government which would have released the hostages in the U.S. Embassy a month before the election. When the Reagan-Bush camp learned about the plan, George Bush and Caspar Weinberger made their own deal with the Iranians to delay the hostage release till after the election. Israel mediated this deal, and, after Ronald Reagan's election, were paid. This was Foster's role. Acting under the auspices of Bush and Weinberger, Foster arranged for the transfer of nuclear launch codes to Israel--a deeply treasonous offense which, if exposed by the Fifth Column, would destroy Foster and anyone connected to him, including the Clinton administration.

Foster died under mysterious circumstances. Officially, it was a suicide. Yet the evidence--gun in the wrong hand, a body that had been clearly been moved from somewhere else, and much more--clearly supports murder.

Numerous parties may have had reason to kill Foster, in order to prevent the spy scandal that was about to break. Some say it was the Clinton administration, others say Israeli intelligence--or both. It has been claimed that surveillance video shows Mossad agents leaving Foster's apartment on the day of his death.

Vince Foster's widow, interestingly, has stated his death had something to do with the Waco incident, which had occurred a few months before. In an Associated Press story, she said he felt responsible for Waco, and killed himself out of guilt.

If it is true that Foster's story intersects with that of PROMIS, and if it is true that Jeff Little was involved in a government project which sounds an awful lot like PROMIS, then it would seem we have found another, deeper link between Foster and Waco.

Many have said that Mt. Carmel was some sort of intelligence front. For instance, the minister of a rival Davidian church in Waco told me that Koresh had worked for the CIA and the church housed a biowarfare factory. This view was also promoted by Patriot leader Linda Thompson, who in a Penthouseinterview, alleged it was a CIA facility, and that the ATF raid was orchestrated by the FBI, acting in alliance with Israel's Mossad, to shut it down.

Another variation of this theory comes from the late attorney Paul Wilcher, who died mysteriously after writing a report to Attorney General Janet Reno which described Mt. Carmel as a mind control facility. Koresh and his inner circle, Wilcher claimed, were programmed "sleeper" agents, or "Manchurian Candidates," who had been programmed to carry out a terrorist act with biological weaponry (as was later performed in Japan by the Aum Shiro cult, when it released deadly sarin gas in a Tokyo subway). However, Koresh and the other sleepers "woke up" from their programming and went rogue. This necessited shutting down the Mt. Carmel facility.

And yet, there is no evidence that biological warfare agents were ever manufactured at Waco. The only dangerous chemical known to have been manufactured at Mt. Carmel was, according to surviving Branch Davidians, methamphetamine. This had been done under George Roden, the leader of the Davidians prior to Koresh. (Later, the ATF alleged there was a speed lab at Mt. Carmel. This, along with the charge of child molestation, was a pretext for the February 28 raid--curious, since both speed and child molestation are outside that agency's jurisdiction.)

Roden left Mt. Carmel after a power struggle with Koresh in the late 1980s, and, until his recent death, was confined to a mental institution in Big Spring, Texas. On at least two occasions he escaped this facility, and once managed to travel all the way to the Israeli embassy in New York. He claimed some sort of connection with the Israeli government.

Could Mt. Carmel have been a Mossad facility? The Davidian flag, which fell into the flames on April 19, did bear the Star of David. Also, some in the conspiracy reseacher community believe there is a link between the Branch Davidians and Jewish Mob boss Abraham Davidian who was shot dead in the late 1940s.

Israel did figure prominently in Koresh's life. It was while on a trip to Israel in the 1980s that he received a "vision" which began his career as spiritual leader. He went to Israel under the name Vernon Howell; he came back with the name David Koresh. The book Why Waco?reports that Koresh continued to receive visions after returning to the U.S.; the inspiration for a sermons always originated as a picture beamed into his head.

This is reminiscent of the visions experienced by late science fiction author Philip K. Dick, who claimed that Gnostic imagery was being beamed into his head by an external entity. Perhaps Dick's and Koresh's "visions" originated from God, perhaps from extraterrestrials, perhaps from their own minds, or perhaps they were delivered by microwave. Dick might have been a mind control victim. Koresh might have been one too. The technology certain exists; it has not been for nothing that, over the years, billions of black budget dollars have been poured into what the Pentagon calls "non-lethal weaponry."

Whatever the explanation for Koresh's visions, his leadership represented a new era for the church. There is no evidence speed, or sarin, was manufactured during his tenure at Waco. But we do have evidence, from surviving Davidians, that there computer espionage there.

So, what might have been the nature of Martin and Little's investigation?

In Day 51, Mosley suggested it was information injurious to Bill Clinton and the New World Order, such as ATF-sponsored illegal arms distributions to urban street gangs.

Or it could have been evidence on cocaine smuggling at Mena, Arkanas. According to books such as Compromised and articles in The Wall Street Journaland London Daily Telegraphthis activity was sponsored by the Iran/Contra gang (Bush, Weinberger, Oliver North). Weapons were shipped to Nicaragua out of the Mena airport, in exchange for cocaine which was brought back to Mena, then distributed to the nation. As governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton is alleged to have received a hefty amount of cash for looking the other way. way.

Investigative journalist Sherman Skolnick has claimed that, prior to his death, Vince Foster had been tracking Clinton's money into offshore accounts--supposedly at the behest of First Lady Hillary Clinton who had her own reasons for wanting to know the whereabouts of her husband's money. If this is so, perhaps it was done with the modified PROMIS software; perhaps, too, Jeff Little and Wayne Martin were the operatives directly engaged in this activity. This, of course, is only a guess.

We may never know what was on the computer. Foster's Waco files could tell us, but they ended up in the possession of Mrs. Clinton after his death.

We do know it was a computer they were looking for, because the room ATF agents were seen breaking into during the raid was the computer room. The gun shop was in an entirely different part of the building--something the ATF agents would surely have troubled to learn.

There are more Waco mysteries.

For instance, in Linda Thompson's documentary Waco: The Big Lie,video footage of the raid appears to show three ATF agents being killed by "friendly" fire. We see the agents enter the window, leaving a fourth agent on the roof. He then sprays the wall with machine gun fire. Many believe this was when the three men died, and many think it deliberate.

These three dead agents had all been personal bodyguards of Clinton's during the presidential campaign. Also, there are rumors that, during a campaign stop in Waco the summer before, these three had accompanied Clinton to a barber shop where he received a haircut. The barber was a Branch Davidian. The five men are said to have had a long, private conversation.

Could the information on Jeff Little's computer have been the subject of that reputed conversation? If so, then their killing during the raid takes on the appearance of one faction of government attempting to retrieve the information, while another faction interferes with that retrieval. But, again, this is only a guess.

These are just a few pieces of the puzzle. They suggest a big story--possibly a secret war between two factions of government. Yet there are too many pieces of the puzzle missing. We cannot know the exact nature of this war until we know what was on that computer in Waco. This is not likely to happen any time soon, as the computer, if it existed at all, long ago went up in flames.

Note 2: April 2000. Carlos Ghigliotti, who had been hired as a congressional expert to study the Waco infrared video, died mysteriously in his office in Washington, DC. His findings had revealed that snipers did fire on Davidians as they ran out the back of the burning building. Also, in early 2000, Waco Sheriff Jack Harwell made a telephone call to Davidian leader Clive Doyle. He described to Doyle that he had been dreaming about the children murdered at Waco and wanted to make a clean breast of things. The next day he was found dead of an apparent heart attack. We are nearing the end of Clinton's last term in office, and the coverup continues.
