From: Gary Hunt at the Outpost of Freedom in Waco, Texas
Date: APRIL 5, 1993 Early in March, a number of pleadings were filed
in the federal district court on behalf of David Koresh.
All of the pleadings were denied for one reason or
another. So, what happened after that? We can follow one
of the trails that will lead us through some rather
intriguing events.
Dick DeGeurin was retained by Bonnie
Haldeman, mother of Vernon Howell, a.k.a. David Koresh.
It has been reported that Ms. Haldeman has contracted a
$75,000 book deal, but this is not the point of this
story.
Years ago, Dick DeGeurin attended law
school with none other than William Sessions, Director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Upon being rejected
in the federal district court, Mr. DeGeurin contacted his
old friend Bill Sessions in an effort to gain access to
the very isolated David Koresh. After weeks of effort the
old friendship finally paid off. On March 29, Dick
DeGeurin, as a result of the efforts of the FBI, was
allowed access to his "client", David Koresh.
It makes you wonder what sort of representation David has
after having his representative negotiating access to his
client through these secretive means, wondering if any
secret deals or relationships were established in the
process. This is compounded by the airing of a
"secret" meeting between DeGeurin, Zimmerman
(attorney for Steve Schneider), Bob Ricks and Jeff Jamar
(both of FBI) in a car in the Wal-Mart parking lot.
This, in and of itself, creates some
serious questions, but let us take this story a little
further. Ron Engleman, of Dallas radio station KGBS, has
remained silent since the March 9th program. It has been
reported that Mr. Engleman, station personnel and others
met in private after that program and that Engleman has
refused to discuss the content of that meeting since that
date.
To that point, Ron Engleman was known
for his very thorough reporting of the facts that were
available regarding the siege at Waco. Subsequently Dick
DeGeurin has contacted Ron to "control" what
information will be aired on a program which David Koresh
is known to listen to.
Ron, not wishing to miss a good deal,
wanted assurance that he would be allowed to accompany
DeGeurin, if and when he was to enter the complex to
escort Koresh into federal hands. It is presumed that Ron
was attempting to secure an exclusive, however, it
appears that this is not the only exclusive that has been
offered. At any rate, wishing confirmation of the
"deal", Ron requested confirmation. The FBI
then contacted Ron directly to assure him that the
previously denied access would be granted at the time of
surrender.
So, we have any attorney who has been
given "complete confidentiality", as per Bob
Ricks, and has met in secret with the FBI. We have a
radio talk show host who may have compromised himself for
an "exclusive". We have FBI involvement in the
control of media, perhaps more than just this incident.
We wave the obvious control of the dissemination of
information coming from the complex and a very dirty
filter in interpreting the words of David Koresh. It is
beginning to appear that we have a situation revolving
around the simple service of an arrest warrant and two
search warrants that is resulting in more intrigue than
the now infamous Iran-Contra affair.
