Finding stories here and there in past weeks concerning James Sanders’ persecution and eventual prosecution by the federal government, I became so intrigued with the Flight 800 story, I finally bought Mr. Sander’s most recent book concerning the downing of the aircraft, "Altered Evidence".

I did so because I wanted as many facts as possible from both sides and because of my belief the federal government controls what is printed by mainstream media.

What I found is the federal government conducted a massive cover-up of the cause of the plane going down and killing all aboard. As had everyone who reads or listens to the news, the early reports were that several hundred witnesses had seen a fiery tail which culminated in a tremendous ball of flame (presumably when it hit the aircraft).

Suddenly, though, witnesses seemed to be silenced (as far as the media was concerned) and the stories started relating that the explosion was due to an internal problem with the aircraft rather than by a missile fired by friendly forces or a terrorist.

Forgotten were the facts that there were many military craft, both air and water, in the immediate area (denied by the government initially) along with many civilian sea craft in the near area. Forgotten were the many witnesses testifying to seeing what appeared to be a missile headed for the aircraft.

But, these facts were not forgotten by James Sanders or his source for the material. He continued his investigation as an investigative reporter. When he found for a fact there was missile fuel residue in the wreckage, along with other evidence, his conclusion based on the evidence was the aircraft had been downed by a missile.

Rather than using the evidence as it should have been used, to determine the truth, the FBI instead persecuted Mr. Sanders, his wife, and others associated with him. To make a long story short, both he and his wife were convicted of removing evidence and conspiring to do so. How a jury could convict him is beyond me after reading his book. Of course, juries can be controlled just as the media can.

Then, there is the case of Waco and the Davidian Compound. First of all, it wasn’t a "compound" - it was just ordinary 3 or 4-strand barbed-wire fenced property. The government and media used ‘compound’ to describe it because it causes the listener or reader to think it was set up like a military compound or fenced much as a prison is. One imagines armed guards and dogs patrolling the perimeter, just like in the movies which show ‘compounds’. In other words, there is a lot of negative impact associated with the term.

Now, the Davidians had not really done anything illegal. Charges were manufactured according to different reliable sources. But, the government treated the confrontation as an ‘arrest’ attempt based on the bogus charges.

Regardless, rather than doing as was done, the feds could easily have arrested members of the group quietly any time they were in town. Instead, a siege was started by the government by its people seeming to have fired first. At the very minimum, government forces initiated the first battle by trying to storm the house.

Exposed records of nearly every publicized case of law enforcement forcing their way into homes indicates officers are quite likely to fire first and indiscriminately. It happens consistently across this nation and Waco wasn’t any different.

These few in numbers held off the might of the federal forces week after week. The government couldn’t allow this and, eventually, it had to prove its strength against American citizens on American soil and staged a final offensive attack in which all lives of those remaining in the Davidian group were lost.

The government’s claim was that the Davidians burned themselves to death. Well, a group that fights for their liberty and stands up for their rights as the Davidians did don’t often kill themselves. And, to do so by setting one’s own kids on fire - BULL!! One might even add CRAP!! to this.

They fought to the end all right but not the end at their own hand as claimed by the FBI. Their end, their very lives, was at the hand of over-whelming government firepower, including use of the military (a Delta Force team of ten or so)and snipers.

During this mass murder, media was kept completely back so as to not to any filming or reporting on what occurred. That, alone, is enough to convince intelligent people the government had something illegal planned.

Anyway, to make a long, sordid story short, after all the Davidians had been slaughtered, the government buried everything, literally and figuratively, that could provide evidence as to the actual conduct of the government forces. But, they didn’t quite get it all. The Texas Rangers had a huge amount (around 12 tons) and the Texas Rangers began its own investigation.

It is apparent to anyone with even a little bit of common sense that the government covered up its act of intentionally killing over 80 people in order to silence them as witnesses to the last days of the stand-off. Only an idiot, government terrorist, or government lackey protecting themselves could conclude and accept otherwise after reading the evidence emerging in the past few months.

Think about this for a moment. Here is the same government agency, the FBI, bulldozing evidence and hiding it from scrutiny of those who seek the truth, that convicted an investigative reporter and his wife of conspiring to remove a very small, insignificant amount of evidence in order to have it tested. Enough of the material, a red residue, remained to have conducted thousands of tests concerning the material.

In addition, the site the red residue was taken from wasn’t even a crime site. Not so with Waco. The Justice Department "HID" and/or destroyed tremendous amounts of evidence that did interfere with any further investigation of the crime scene at Waco. (Come to think of it, the government also completely destroyed the federal building in Oklahoma City. Hmm.)

Obviously, the government doesn’t want the truth known concerning Waco and Flight 800. Both are still going on (the persecution of the Mr. and Mrs. Sanders continues to this day) and Waco is still being investigated (as of the date of this writing). A test of whether or not gunfire can be detected by the type of infrared cameras used during the Waco attack is scheduled.

In an article by Associated Press writer, Michelle Mittelstadt, which was published in the "Armed and Dangerous" section of World Net Daily this date, the FBI now states the camera used during the siege could record gunfire flashes "in some circumstances", an apparent reversal of previous expert testimony. One must wonder if this means if a gun was fired, it would take ‘special’ circumstances for the camera to detect it. If so, what are the circumstances - just more crap to base another lie on? What I am saying is, let’s hear what the circumstances are before the tests are conducted. (By the way, shouldn’t those who lied be indicted by the justice system?

After becoming curious as to whether other leading publications were following the unfolding story of government cover-up and murder, my answer was extremely disappointing. After looking in many other sources of printed information, I could not find any mention of the upcoming test in major publications other than the above.

Here we have a massive cover-up of probable intentional murder by government agencies but - it isn’t newsworthy? Head-job Lewinski is in the news multiple times, dozens of times more as a lead story than either Waco or the downing of Flight 800 put together.

A person like her taking up space on the airways and in print in spite of nearly every week reading on back pages of cases of unarmed people being shot or beaten brutally by law enforcement personnel or possible/probable government cover-ups or government frauds. Geez. Aren’t our priorities a bit jumbled?

Which leads to another disturbing fact. Never do I read of these so-called ‘protectors and servers of society’ being convicted as the criminals they are. Never do I read of any action against any federal agency it or its people pinned to the wall for their fabrications and cover-ups. When discovered, it seems all that happens is a few reportings of it; then the case just "disappears", so to speak.

Murder, such as when an officer shoots an unarmed person, is killing or slaughter or carnage (as with Waco) whether it is by a member of law enforcement or not. In the case of deadly shootings of innocents, the shooters should be prosecuted as any citizen would be. Their badge, or status in some government group, does not make them immune from the laws of God and Man.

Get real. If you or I fired in the general direction of a law enforcement person, such as a Justice Department terrorist, it would be attempted murder at the very least and, providing we weren’t killed by multiple wounds (seems I read of one person who had 9 bullet wounds and another with 40 some), we would be prosecuted. Law enforcement people are citizens under the same laws and must be treated in a like fashion.

It now seems as if we need a special investigative group just to investigate law enforcement, including the FBI, and its acts against citizens. But, it couldn’t be a group domiciled in the federal government. That would be a case of the ‘blinded with power’ investigating the ‘blinded with power’. The result of that - a cover-up of the cover-up.

(Addendum: Danforth, ex-senator (Missouri) headed up an investigative group to investigate Waco. After $12,000,000 were spent, he came to the conclusion the FBI acted properly. Of course, he never considered any evidence against the FBI, including that held by the Texas Rangers. Only certain testimony was allowed and none that would damn the government.)

Maybe the only way to assure the government doesn’t cover up its acts is to make all records, all evidence or potential evidence, available to private investigators and investigative reporters. Why not? Why should the federal government have the right to hide evidence of its violating nearly every law on the books, from invasion of privacy to taking of innocent lives? These have nothing to do with "National Security", only with the security of the US Government, a foreign corporation to the States.

In addition, when government’s ally, mainstream media, hides the facts from the people of this nation, it is not serving its function of presenting impartial, undistorted news which states only facts to the people. Doing otherwise puts it in the position of conspiring with the government (or some politician) to hide the truth and possibly interfere with citizens’ civil rights, a violation of Title 18, Sections 241 and 242.

If the government and its atrocities against justice and the principles of this nation aren’t curtailed, then we may all be asking - Just what country do I live in - The United States of America (home of truth, justice, and the American way) or The United States Socialist Regime?

If the latter, then let us go ahead and change the Pledge of Allegiance to:
