WACO: The Rules of Engagement, Part One



"Waco: The Rules of Engagement," a new, nearly 3-hour-long documentary, comes down very hard on Washington. It stops short of endorsing anti-government conspiracy theories beloved by far-right zealots, but argues persistently -- and at times persuasively -- that federal agents used excessive force against the Davidians, failed to understand what motivated them, and covered up mistakes. ~San Francisco Examiner~ Watch on Google.

The Legend of Ruby Ridge



Jon Ronson meets with Randy Weaver and daughter Rachel, two surviving members of the Weaver family. The film shows previously unseen archive footage to describe the life of a family who moved to a cabin in Ruby Ridge, Idaho to escape what they saw as the tyrannical elite of international bankers bent on enslaving the world. Ronson also explains how the Weaver family's paranoid conspiracy theories became a self fulfilling tragedy when the American Government killed two of the family members including 14 year old Sam Weaver. Ronson explores the unsympathetic media response to the killings and how this incident might have influenced the siege at Waco, the Oklahoma City bombing and the growth of the America militia movement.

After the event, Ronson meets comedy actor and fellow attendee Harry Shearer who describes the event as a glorified fraternity party. Shearer largely dismisses Jones's dramatic retelling of the gathering and notes that the music is supplied by The Symphony Orchestra of San Francisco.

Beyond Conspiracy: The Kennedy Assassination



BBC 1 hr 28 min. Watch on Google.

Forty years after President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot on November 22, 1963, over 70 percent of Americans still believe there was a conspiracy to kill him and that the suspected assasin, Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone. Utilizing modern technology, computer animator

Dale Myers created a digital simulation of the only known film of the murder, a 16 mm home movie taken by Abraham Zapruder, a bystander that filmed the fatal shots. Then Myers matched this digital film to a three dimensional computer model of Dealey Plaza which he created that reconstructs the plaza exactly as it appeared at the time of the murder.

The resulting digital animation allowed Myers to recreate the exact view point from any perspective within the plaza at the moment and finally provide concrete evidence of whether or not Oswald was a long assasin or if an actual conspiracy consisted.

Also examined is new evidence discovered years later on an audio tape from an open police microphone at the scene and other theories that circulated including Communist ties and mob involvement in the assassination.
