Premiär för Waco på Paramount Network Torsdagen den 31 januari har Waco premiär på nya Paramount Network. Waco är den sanna berättelsen om sektledaren David Koresh och FBIs beryktade belägringen av sektens ranch i Waco, Texas våren 1993. En belägring som pågick i 51 dagar slutade i ett brinnande inferno och en väpnad konfrontation mellan polis och sektmedlemmar. Belägringen i Waco har tillsammans med tragedin i Ruby Ridge blivit nyckelevent för den amerikanska ytterhögerns kamp mot vad de anser vara en brutal och orättvis statsapparat. Konfrontationen mellan den tillslutna sekten och FBIs hårdföra insatsstyrka anses av många vara ett av den federala polisens värsta och blodigaste misslyckanden. För att skapa en så korrekt bild som möjligt av vad som faktiskt hände på och kring ranchen i Texas för snart 26 år sedan har serieskaparna gjort omfattande research. Både överlevare och vittnen har intervjuats, nya undersökningar har genomförts mänger av polisrapporter, artiklar och nyhetsinslag har gåtts igenom. I serien Waco berättas till slut hela den tragiska historien om vad som faktiskt hände under de 51 dagarna våren 1993. I serien spelas den karismatiske sektledaren David Koresh mästerligt av Taylor Kitsch känd från bl.a Friday Night Lights och True Detective. Som FBI förhandlaren Gary Noesner syns den alltid lika stenhårda Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water, Man of Steel). I övriga roller syns bland annat Andrea Riseborough, John Leguizamo och Shea Whigham. Waco är en miniseries i sex delar och första avsnittet sänds på Paramount Network den 31/1 kl. 21.00.

The Branch Davidians in Mount Carmel and the ATF began a shootout that ended in the deaths of four ATF agents and six Branch Davidians. The occupants of Mount Carmel and government agencies remained in a standoff for fifty-one days until the FBI launched CS gas into the compound in an effort to make the Branch Davidians exit. The CS gas assault on April 19, 1993 ended in a fire in which seventy-six people inside Mount Carmel died, including twenty-three children. After the fire a series of lawsuits and investigations began, including the 1994 criminal trial of the Branch Davidians, the 1995 congressional hearings, and a wrongful-death civil trial in 2000.

The Branch Davidian Siege and Its Impact on the Media and Scholarship
THE BRANCH DAVIDIAN SIEGE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE MEDIA AND SCHOLARSHIP by AMY MARIE FLYNN (Under the Direction of Sandy Dwayne Martin) ABSTRACT Reviewing trends in the academic study of religion and examining media reports, attitudes towards new religious movements in American religious history shifted dramatically after the siege on the Branch Davidian compound. Surveying how scholars of religion and those in the media approached new religions, there is a notable shift in attitudes after the second raid on Mount Carmel. After the second raid in 1993, scholars published more work on new religious movements, and the media questioned its responsibility when chronicling such events.

Brett Gould the Waco Siege
Brett Gould The Waco Siege Gould 1 Few events in history garner so much attention and speculation that they live infamously throughout the ages. One of these events is known as the Waco Siege. The events at Waco captured media attention for months as the battle between the Branch Davidians and the federal government raged. It was just one event in a string of many in the early 1990’s setting the stage for a new wave of things to come in the realm of domestic terrorism in the United States. The day of the FBI raid on April 19th has been used by many other groups as a symbol for their attacks or actions. Unlikely predicted at the time, Waco ignited a firestorm that most people could not have predicated within the United States. The actions taken by government agencies at Waco has led to the inspiration of thousands of people across the nation. In fact, many domestic terrorist groups, specifically those belonging to militia movements and neo-Nazi groups, used the event as a tool for recruiting new members. The Oklahoma City Bomber, Timothy McVeigh, cited the Waco Siege as one of his many grievances with the federal government. These are just a few of the various legacies that Waco would become the face of or extremely important to. It would also become one of the most debated, misunderstood, and controversial events in U.S. history. Vernon Howell, more well known as David Koresh, was the infamous leader of the Branch Davidians during the Waco Siege. He changed his name after taking control of the group, naming himself after prominent biblical figures.

Review of Kenneth Newport, the Branch Davidians of Waco
Eras Edition 8, November 2006 – http://www.arts.monash.edu.au Kenneth G. C. Newport, The Branch Davidians of Waco: The History and Beliefs of an Apocalyptic Sect, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2006. ISBN 0199245746 Like Jonestown, ‘Waco’ has become a byword for religious extremism. Both cases involved cults and both have contributed iconic, high-intensity images to posterity: the corpse-strewn jungle clearing after more than nine hundred followers of Jim Jones drank poison; and the blazing ranch on the Texan prairie, where eighty devotees of David Koresh perished. Such is the association of Waco with the inferno that it is perhaps unsurprising that all but one academic work on the Branch Davidians features a graphic photograph of the fire on its cover. Kenneth Newport’s book is no exception, and it reinforces the feeling that the story of this group involves a journey to the outer limits of human experience. The Waco drama began on 28 February 1993 when a raid by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) on the ranch led to a gun battle with the Branch Davidians. Four agents and six residents died that day. The shootout ended in a ceasefire after which the FBI brought in a negotiation team to resolve the standoff. The siege lasted for fifty-one days until on 19 April the FBI attempted to flush the Branch Davidians out of their ranch using teargas. Bradley armoured vehicles, on loan from the Texas National Guard, were used to fire the teargas rounds, but fires erupted from the ranch and quickly reduced it to ashes.

INTRODUCTION One of the most significant trends of federal law enforcement in the last fifteen years has been its militarization. The logical, perhaps inevitable, conse- quence of that militarization was seen in the disaster at Waco, Texas, resulting in the deaths of four federal agents, and seventy-six other men, women, and chil- dren.
