From: Gary Hunt at the Outpost of Freedom in Waco, Texas
Date: MARCH 26, 1993 Anyone who happens to be
reading this report from Waco is proof of the existence,
and legitimacy of the Outpost of Freedom as a viable
source of news and information. This, apparently, is of
no consequence to the self-serving needs of Mr. Carlos
Hernandes of the FBI, who has determined that this
reporter does not represent a "legitimate
press".
As I told you on the 24th of March, the FBI promised
to get back with me. I suppose, however, that they just
wanted my phone number, because no effort was made to
contact me, as they said they would. Being used to
hearing comments from the FBI that are as valid as the
comments made by the biggest liar in the neighborhood
when you were a kid, has prepared me for dealing with
these paid by us deceivers. Honestly, I have heard more
truth in a poker game than from the FBI, both in and out
of the conference.
To refresh your memory, I had gone to the press area
at Mt. Carmel Church complex with the founder of
Associated Electronic News (AEN) on Saturday. As we were
leaving the FBI informed us that we had
'"falsified" press credentials, which they
kept. Being there under agreement with AEN apparently
demeans the credibility of these releases and my own
newspaper because that is the reason for denying me
access now, or, is there another reason?
If anybody can establish that AEN is a legitimate
press organization, I would appreciate some supportive
documentation. It appears that the founder, Linda
Thompson, has left Waco, and me with access denied. Well,
what would you expect from an attorney?
On the brighter side, I have noticed that there are
more questions coming out at the press conference with
real content, not car colors. I noticed that a number of
the members of the press have had copies of "A
Mountain Of Lies", by Kirby Ferris, in their hands
as they strolled around the convention center. This book
goes into some of the problems created by the
government's actions and subsequent investigation of the
site in Idaho where the stand-off with Randy Weaver
resulted in the murder of a 14 year old boy and his
mother. The techniques used then, as well as the efforts
to cover up, raise quite a number of questions into how
our government operates these days. Perhaps Lewis Beam
was correct when he suggested the beginnings of a police
state. Perhaps his comment was based on hindsight -- and
we are just now beginning to see what is really happening
to our precious country.
My observation is that the FBI is the most deceitful
bunch of people I have ever met. There is no substance to
anything I have heard them utter since my arrival in
Waco.
