Hey Humor Consumers, Remember the many scandalous news stories of the 90s? The OJ Simpson trial, Lorena Bobbitt, Monica Lewinsky? They don't hold a candle to Vernon Howell. Who is Vernon Howell you ask? He is none other than God....in his own mind of course.

"When they sent that letter out, I knew they were coming. They sent an article removing me as trustee, now they've come to finish the job and remove me from the land."In 1985, Vernon Howell left Mount Carmel with his followers, bound for destinations unknown. Over the next few years, they would struggle to find a place to build their permanent headquarters as they attempted to try and swell their ranks with new converts.Meanwhile, back in Waco, George Roden's erratic nature left him with a dwindling congregation. So he decided to risk a gambit in order to try and win them back. In 1987, he exhumed a body and issued a challenge to his rival, claiming that whoever was able to resurrect the long-deceased woman would be named the uncontested leader of the Branch Davidians.

This week we continue our coverage of the Branch Davidians by discussing life at Mount Carmel under the leadership of Vernon Howell, now David Koresh. The big changes include his name, a new building, oh and like 15 women that he "marries", too many of which are underage (the correct number of underage wives is zero if anyone is confused). The ATF also gets involved, really needing some bad press after the Ruby Ridge situation. You can support us on Patreon!

On a Sunday morning in late February 1993, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) raid commenced near Waco Texas. The objective was to search the Branch Davidian Compound, named Mount Carmel, and arrest its leader, David Koresh, also known as Vernon Howell. The crisis began when ATF agents hid in covered horse trailers to surprise and cut off the Branch Davidians. They didn't get far before a gunfight erupted. Koresh was the charismatic leader of the Branch Davidians, a religious offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventists, and suspected of firearms violations.

In 1955, Benjamin Roden claimed that he received a calling from the Lord telling him to create his own religious group. He followed this calling and founded The Branch Davidian Seventh-day Adventist Associate, better known as The Branch. Although harmless, this religious group would quickly become a cult. After Benjamin's death in 1978, a man named Vernon Howell joined the cult. His beliefs were not as harmless as Benjamin's, and things would soon take a turn for the worse for The Branch Davidians.
In this episode we will unpack the daily life of Vernon Howell's followers now that they had regained ownership of the compound and how Vernon's teachings became more and more cult-like.

En este episodio haremos mención de dos casos que tuvieron un fatal desenlace… el primero protagonizado por James Warren Jones mejor conocido como el reverendo “Jim Jones” líder del Templo de pueblo y el segundo por Vernon Howell que a la postre adoptó el nombre de “David Koresh” fundador de los Davidianos….
The Waco Siege began in early 1993, when a government raid on a church near Waco, Texas led to a 51-day standoff between federal agents and members of Mount Carmel Center called the Branch Davidians led by David Koresh, whose birth name is Vernon Howell. The siege ended dramatically on April 19, 1993, when fires consumed the church, leaving some 82 people dead, including 25 children.Today VICE released a video and now David has a lot to say.https://youtu.be/11jt_NdN2YkDavid Thibodeau was born and raised in Bangor, Maine while spending a few years in South Portland. He is a survivor of the tragedy that unfolded at Mount Carmel near Waco, Texas 27 years ago. In February 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms raided David Koresh's Branch Davidian home, a small religious community, triggering a drawn-out gun battle that resulted in many lost lives. After a 51-day standoff, the conflict ends when an FBI assault leads to a fire that engulfs the Branch Davidian home, killing 76 people, most of which were Thibodeau’s friends and people he considers family. A Place Called Waco: A Survivor's Story is a book Thibodeau wrote in 1999 about his experience at Mount Carmel. David Thibodeau’s book was noticed by John Dowdle who made it into Paramount Network’s six-part miniseries about the events that took place between February 28th and April 19th, 1993. The six-part scripted series "Waco" dramatizes one of the most misunderstood stories in American history. David has lived in Los Angeles, Austin, Waco and Maine. Thibodeau enjoys playing the drums and has been in many bands, including Why Am I, Lefty, Phatt Sally, Dakota, Sideways, and the Blast Addicts. He also recorded two original CD’s, one of which was with the band Lefty and the other with The Blast Addicts. He continues to spread the shocking truth about what happened at Mount Carmel. David is frequently featured on Podcasts, documentaries and TV shows but he really likes to give talks for live audiences that come from all over to hear his story. David also loves speaking to High School and College students all over the Country.https://www.wacosurvivors.com/Conflict Radio - Episode 82 Inside the Deadly Waco Siege VICE Video, David Thibodeau Was Also Therehttps://conflictradio.net/

On February 28th, 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms attempted to serve a warrant on a religious group at their compound outside of Waco, Texas. Known as the Branch Davidians, the group was an offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventists who had left the organization and banded together under the leadership of a Bulgarian immigrant named Victor Houteff in 1930. Through a series of intrigues and internal battles, control of the group landed with Vernon Howell, the young man who would become known to the world as David Koresh. When the ATF raided the compound looking for illegal weapons, it kicked off a 51 day standoff that would leave four ATF agents and 76 Branch Davidians dead. Where is the line that separates a group of religious believers and a cult? How do cult leaders persuade people to believe in them in the face of immoral and even illegal behavior? Does labeling a group as a cult serve to stigmatize people with beliefs outside of the religious mainstream? Join Drs. Micono and Morelos they discuss the siege at Waco, Part 1: The “Bad” Guys.
Hey Spooksters! Today we are going to be discussing all things involving the Waco Siege. In order to fully tell the story of what happened in Waco, we have to start from the beginning.

From there we will walk through what lead up to the shift in the compound and how they caught the attention of the ATF and other authorities. Finally, we will go over the raid & siege itself. It's a cluster of a story so buckle in!!! TW - there is a brief discussion of abuse mentioned at the compound. Timestamps to skip if this is something that may trigger you - 39:28-43:42.

2018 marks the 25-year anniversary of a 51-day siege that ended in tragedy, following a shootout between the U.S. government and members of a sect called the Branch Davidians. The gunfire exchange lasted for well over an hour, killing four U.S. agents and six Branch Davidians, and wounding their leader Vernon Howell, also known as David Koresh. Yet this violence was just the beginning of an ordeal that would culminate in an inferno later to become known as the Waco Massacre.CW: references to manipulative behaviours, suicide, murder, and physical abuse and sexual assault, including of minors.
