Fully Automatic David Koresh
1,189 wordsIt started out easy enough. Over a hundred agents from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms would pack themselves shoulder-to-shoulder inside cattle trailers, and pull up to the front of the building in broad daylight. At the cry of "ShowTime!" The agents would pour out, divide into four columns, and storm the building. Some would surround the building, others would take ladders to the right side, go into the second floor with flash-bang grenades, and still others would storm the front doo...

Adolf Hitler Personality Trait
1,077 wordsWhat is charisma? Who has it? What does it take to have charisma? Charisma is known as a personality trait, but can it be considered a quality a person possesses? An individual with charisma is able to inspire and motivate people around themselves, but the direction a leader inspires is not necessarily good. This may be the case to those being influenced by the person they choose to follow, but it's not always positive in the eyes of society's morals. David Koresh is a prime example of a charism...

Women And Children David Koresh
1,443 wordsNovember 28, 1999 I was one of only nine survivors of the Waco blaze -- 74 men, women and children died -- and I've devoted the last six years to understanding what happened there. Back in 1990 I had been drumming in a stagnant Los Angeles rock band when I met and befriended David Koresh. I needed some new drumsticks, and on the way to a gig stopped in at the Guitars R Us on Sunset Boulevard. Seeing the sticks in my hand, two strangers introduced themselves and asked if I was playing in a band. ...

Branch Davidians David Koresh
1,148 wordsThe Branch Davidians Cult, which was until its demise headed by Warren Jeffs, had over 6000 members at its peak. These 6000 members lived in sister cities of Hildale and Colorado City in the barren US state of Utah. The cult in which control is the key is now considered by many to be closer to a terrorist organisation.

Branch Davidians David Koresh
552 wordsThe standoff between the combined forces of the FBI and ATF and David Koresh-Branch Davidians was viewed as the worse governmental operation in history. There were several reasons why Waco turned out the way it did. Koresh and 76 of his followers, including more than 20 children, died in flames because there were breakdowns in communication between FBI and the Branch Davidians as the event unfolds. First, there was a lack of competency in communication during the negotiation period between the F...

Religious Groups Charles Manson
1,857 wordsOn November 18, 1978, in a cleared-out patch of the Guyanese jungle, Reverend Jim Jones ordered the 911 members of his flock to kill themselves by drinking a cyanide potion, and they did. It seems cultists were brainwashed by this megalomaniac Jones, who had named their jungle village after himself and held them as virtual slaves, if not living zombies. Jones himself was found dead. Hed shot himself in the head, or someone else had shot him. Is it plausible that more than nine hundred people too...

David Koresh Outer Space
1,715 wordsThe key ingredients that make the society in the book Good News from Outer Space by John Kessel seem so full of mordant farce are chaos, technology, belief and faith run amok. The book is set in our present year of 1999, and it seems that all of the conventional thoughts and explanations that help life make sense, are no longer needed. All that remain are the lunatic explanations that have gained adherence within society. Although the society in the book might seem more like an exaggerated versi...
