.............................................................. >From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: Conspiracy Shopping Cart: http://a-albionic.com/shopping.html From: Ian Goddard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: WACO: FLIR Disinfo in Media Date: Saturday, April 22, 2000 8:34 PM The inclosed St Louis Post-Dispatch report, which has been republished across the major media, gives us an idea of tactical disinformation that will be used to cover-up the gunshots on the Waco forward looking infrared (FLIR) videotape. Here are two key disinformational tactics being deployed: (1): The Post-Dispatch report states that "the flashes on the 1993 Waco tape do not show shooters." That completely false claim is being widely reported. The fact is that shooters ARE SOMETIMES VISIBLE on the 1993 Waco FLIR. They are visible after coming out of an air-conditioned tank, when their clothing was cooler than the sunbaked ground. However, shooters should not be visible when their clothing is the same temperature as the sunbaked ground, for FLIR only sees temperature, which explains why one or two shooters are not seen. The following images show shooters that can be seen on the 1993 FLIR, who just exited a tank and thus appear as black, or cool. Bursts of machinegun fire appear directly in front of them. For comparison, the third image shows a gunshot and shooter seen on FLIR video taken during the United State's ill-fated assault on Somalia. The means I used to grab the images (Snappy) makes discrete areas appear more square than they are and there's also a fair amount of image degradation (shooters are black objects in the lightened square): SHOOTER 1 ON 1993 WACO FLIR: http://www.erols.com/igoddard/shooter1.jpg SHOOTER 2 ON 1993 WACO FLIR: http://www.erols.com/igoddard/shooter2.jpg GUNSHOT & SHOOTER DURING U.S. RAID ON SAMOLIA: http://users.erols.com/igoddard/somalia.jpg Muzzle-flash is white spot in darkened circle. It looks the same as flashes on the Waco FLIR. (As seen on: Waco: A New Revelation [1]) (2): The Post-Dispatch reports that the preliminary findings of a British firm indicate that the duration of flashes on the 1993 Waco FLIR is too long for the flashes to be gunshots, hence they are more likely sunlight reflections. This echoes a report by the defense contractor Maryland Advanced Development Laboratory (MADLAB). [2] Dan Gifford, a producer of Waco: The Rules of Engagement, [3] explained to me that MADLAB defined sustained bursts of flashes (machinegun fire) on the 1993 FLIR as a single flash, which they do appear to be when the video isn't slowed down. Therefore, by definition, the duration of a given flash on the 1993 FLIR is longer than the duration of a single gunshot; and so they concluded that the flashes cannot be (single) gunshots -- even though they can be and are single bursts composed of many rapid gunshots. Infrared expert Doctor Edward Allard states in his affidavit that when the 1993 FLIR tape is slowed down, what appaers as a single sustained flash at normal speed is seen to be composed of 7 to 10 flashes per second -- exactly consistent with a machine gun. [4] Allard also notes that the duration of singular flashes on the 1993 FLIR are as short as one thirtieth of a second! [1] We can know right now that a singular flash with a duration between 1/7th to 1/30th of a second isn't too sustained to be a gun-muzzle flash. The claim that such short-duration flashes last too long to be gunshots is absurd on its face. Unfortunately, thanks to the major media, the absurd will be the unquestioned reality for the majority of people. ___________________________________________________________ [1] Waco: A New Revelation: http://waco-anewrevelation.com [2] Article About MADLAB's (deceptive) Report: http://www.urf.com/madl/eo/viper/washpost.html [3] Waco: The Rules of Engagement: http://waco93.com [4] Affidavit of Doctor Edward F.

FREIVOGEL Of the Post-Dispatch The British firm that performed last month's simulation of the Waco siege has issued a preliminary report that generally supports the government claim that agents did not fire at the Branch Davidians in 1993, the Post-Dispatch has learned. Vector Data Systems provided a written report to U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith Jr. earlier this month giving its analysis of the simulation that it conducted March 19 at Fort Hood, Texas. Vector found that flashes produced by glint reflecting off of debris were considerably longer in duration than flashes produced by guns, informed sources say. That finding supports the government because flashes on a 1993 infrared tape of the Waco siege also were long in duration. This means that the 1993 flashes could have come from sunlight reflecting off the airborne debris caused by the crumbling of the complex. Vector also reported that the infrared cameras in aircraft above the Fort Hood simulation site picked up flashes from six of the nine weapons tested. But wherever flashes were visible from weapons, the shooters were also visible, the sources said. By contrast, the flashes on the 1993 Waco tape do not show shooters. Vector followed up the preliminary report with an oral briefing for Smith on Monday. At that briefing, the infrared experts were planning to tell the judge whether they thought the flashes on the 1993 infrared tape of the incident were from gunfire. Mike Caddell, the lawyer for the Branch Davidians, said Smith has not yet relayed the conclusions of Vector's oral report. He takes that as "a bad sign for my side." Caddell said he had grown weary of the emphasis on the gunfire issue. He says he has strong evidence on other issues that he will stress at the June trial of the Branch Davidians' wrongful death suit against the government. Principal among them are the Branch Davidians' claim that the FBI failed to provide fire equipment as instructed by Attorney General Janet Reno and that the FBI commanders on the scene abused their discretion by prematurely knocking down part of the complex. As long as he can prove that the government's negligence in not having fire equipment contributed to the death of the 80 Branch Davidians who perished at Waco, it doesn't matter if he cannot prove government gunfire caused the deaths. "You can only collect on a death one time," Caddell said. Regardless of Vector's conclusions, Caddell plans to present his own experts who will argue in testimony that the flashes on the 1993 tape are from government guns. But he acknowledges they cannot show that any particular Branch Davidian died from a government bullet. Caddell said that in a deposition last week his chief medical expert testified that there was no way to use forensic or medical evidence to make his case. ===================================================================== ============================================================ If the axiom "power corrupts" is a reliable axiom, then the Official Story must be suspect on its face. ------------------------------------------------------------ GODDARD'S JOURNAL: http://www.erols.com/igoddard/journal.htm ____________________________________________________________ Asking the "wrong questions," challenging the Official Story Shop for Cars On-Line: http://a-albionic.com/ads/srch.html Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *********************************** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research (POB 20273, Ferndale, MI 48220), a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum.
