The Waco Event and the Beginning of the Present Day Populist-Patriot Movement and Alternative Media In the Short Wave Broadcasters of the Nineties Bernard Pyron,
https://www.britannica.com/event/Waco-siege"Believing that the group was illegally stockpiling weapons, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) obtained both an arrest warrant for Koresh and a search warrant for the compound. On February 28, 1993, more than 70 ATF agents raided the complex. Gunfire erupted—though it is uncertain who fired first—and during the two-hour battle, four federal agents were killed and more than a dozen injured. In addition, six Davidians reportedly died.Nearly 900 law-enforcement officials subsequently descended on the compound, including FBI hostage negotiators"
The 51 day siege of the Branch Davidians by a military force of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team. and some members of the U.S. Military ended on April 19, 1993, when the group’s main building near Waco, Texas was destroyed in a fire. Close to 80 Branch Davidians were killed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege"Autopsy records also indicate that at least 20 Branch Davidians were shot, including five children under the age of 14. "
Neither of the two accounts used here on the Waco Event mention the twenty-three children killed in the final siege and fire.
https://dailyhistory.org/What_Is_the_Legacy_of_the_1993_Waco_Tragedy%3F"By the time the standoff was over, four members of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (BATF or ATF) were dead along with eighty-two of the Branch Davidians, which included twenty-three children, and scores were injured on both sides. "
"The reason why the Branch Davidians came to the attention of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms was the combination of a series of newspapers articles about the sect and a random discovery by a postal worker. Mark England and Darlene McCormick, who were local writers for the Waco Tribune-Herald, wrote a seven part series titled “Sinful Messiah,” which focused on some of the more lurid and salacious aspects of life in the compound."
http://www.theeventchronicle.com/study/fbi-documents-reveal-heavy-surveillance-william-cooper/William Cooper was one of the short wave broadcasters of the nineties, who was very interested in the Waco Event.
"Declassified top secret documents show the Federal Government went to great lengths to collect data on author and radio broadcaster William (Bill) Cooper."
"An FOIA request filed by Kristan T. Harrisof the American Intelligence Report resulted in the release of related to former United States Naval Intelligence officer, author and radio broadcaster William (Bill) Cooper from Eagar, Arizona."
"The unclassified documents paint Cooper’s controversial actions as “hosting a talk show by means of short-wave radio,” as well as “frequently condemning the federal government, Justice Department and the FBI for the ‘atrocities’ at Waco and Ruby Ridge”. The records punctuate the point that Bill was, “convinced there is a government sponsored socialist conspiracy to establish a ‘new world order’” multiple times throughout the FBI’s investigations."
"Shortly after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building, Rush Limbaugh read a White House memo on the air during his broadcast which named William Cooper, “…the most dangerous radio host in America."
"This contributed to Cooper believing that he was personally targeted by President Bill Clinton and the IRS for tax evasion. He often addressed his concerns over his daily broadcast, Hour of the Time, and Project VERITAS publications."
"An unnamed Deputy Marshall had attempted to serve Cooper with a summons on 06/19/1998, but Cooper threw the Deputy Marshal off his property without receiving the summons. Eventually, a bench warrant for his arrest was issued for not appearing in court on a summons which was NEVER served, leading to an intense surveillance operation and a barrage of informants that would help push Cooper into constant paranoia.".
"The intense FBI surveillance of Cooper’s household included multiple FBI meetings, undercover agents posing as journalists, monitoring of his internet publishing, as well as testimonies from personal acquaintances and local store owners. Aerial photos were taken of his ranch."
Mark Koernke was another short wave broadcaster of the nineties who focused on the Waco Event. Koernke was put in prison by the state of Michigan at what had been Kincheloe Air Force Base, named for the Korean War Ace F-86 pilot of the 51st Fighter-Interceptor Wing. Captain Kincheloe flew for the 25th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron. But Koernke paid a lesser price fore his participation in the Patriot-Populist Short Wave Broadcaster Movement of the nineties, since Bill Cooper was killed.
Linda Thompson, another short wave broadcaster of the nineties, was also highly influenced by the Waco Event.
The short wave broadcasters of the nineties I knew about were Jeff Baker, Bill Cooper, Mark Koernke, Linda Thompson, Larry Nichols, Steve Quayle, and a young Alex Jones. They would not have been the beginning of the Patriot-Populist Movement on the Internet which existed in 2016 had it not been for the Bill and Hillary Marxist Regime and the Waco Event.
While I was listening to Jeff Baker's short wave network, Amerinet, I first heard James Lloyd, who talked about the Remnant while he was then still partly following dispensationalist Chuck Smith of Cavalry Chapel.
These short wave broadcasters were an opposition movement to the Leftist or Marxist movement within the Democratic Party as it existed in the nineties.
Since they broadcasted on short wave, they were an alternative media in the nineties. Some of them like Steve Quayle, sold food supplements, herbs and survival foods. And so the "Right Wing" Media even back in the late 20th century was into the Alternative Health Care movement. Paul Joseph Watson has referred to the 2016-2018 Populist-Patriot-Alternative Media Movement as a "Counterculture."
Steve Quayle was and is a dispensationalist , but belongs to the older older generation of dispensationalists.
Historians and some Political Scientist may look more closely at the late 20th century Short-Wave Radio Patriot-Populists as leading into the early 20th century Populist-Patriot-Alternative movement which hijacked the Old Bush type Republican Party, and maybe took the ball away from them and ran with it.
Matt Drudge played an important role historically in the origins of the 2016-2918 Populist-Patriot-Alternative Media Movement. Like the Short Wave Patriot-Populist broadcasters, Matt Drudge first gained popularity by exposing some of he criminal activities of Bill Clinton. Drudge exposed to the public the Monica Lewinsky scandal. which helped to get Clinton impeached in the House. Short Wave broadcaster Larry Nichols also contributed to that impeachment by his broadcasts and writings.
Drudge met Andrew Breitbart during the 1990s and became his mentor. Breitbart later helped to run the Drudge Report. Andrew Breitbart was a very early 21st century person who applied Marxist ideology to the emerging American Left and Democratic Party.
