This will all come out in the near future. Waco has had a terrible reputation for years as a result of the siege of the Branch Davidian complex in 1993 when agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms attempted to arrest Branch. George Bush did not die of natural causes in 2018. The first disadvantage of living in Waco is the city’s above-average crime rate. And Donald Trump did the right thing: he had Bush arrested for his crimes. When they found out, Donald and Melania Trump cried for hours. They found fifteen hundred dead children in those tunnels, dead from torture and sexual abuse. As head of the CIA, Bush built tunnels under the White House. Bush, he said, “was a pedophile and homosexual. A website he built for the church,, featured a Star of David logo, posts including “Why the Deep State Massacred David Koresh and his Followers,” references to Republicans and “Demonic-rats,” and the QAnon hashtag WWG1 WGA (“Where we go one, we go all”). He knew too much about the human trafficking, pedophilia, and gun-and cocaine-running the Clintons and Bushes were guilty of.” The Davidians had built their swimming pool, he believed, “to reclaim a desecrated spot” after Koresh found evidence of a sex-slavery ring based in the cellar, though Koresh never mentioned such a thing. “That’s why the Clintons couldn’t let him live. Partially blind, he had a gray left eye that wandered while his blue right eye fixed a listener in an iron gaze. “Koresh may have been a false prophet, but he was onto something,” Pace said that day. Pastor Pace works day and night to maintain the church and the grounds, host Sabbath services, and run a website that blames deep-state conspirators for the siege and fire of ’93, a subsequent cover-up that led to the murder of Vince Foster, and more. Two of the cards read, “Trauma born baby, American.” Those too young to be photographed are remembered with cards showing their names and nationalities. A memory book holds snapshots of the Davidians who died here in the ATF raid on Februand the fire fifty-one days later. Posters show Koresh’s 1988 mug shot and aerial views of the compound before and after the fire. Despite his doubts about his predecessor, Pace knows it’s Koresh most visitors want to hear about.

The church’s walls held photos of Davidian leaders: Victor Houteff, Ben and Lois Roden, Koresh. Now seventy-two, he gets around in a wheelchair and has a stainless-steel right leg, the result of a tractor accident that mangled his right foot. He returned to lead Waco’s diminished flock in 2006.

“I saw through their delusions,” he said in a hoarse voice. Pastor Pace had split off from the sect in the 1980s. Its our job to make bold bets, and we get our energy from inventing on behalf of customers. He had a shaved head and a neatly trimmed beard. Pastor Pace and his wife, Alexa, greeted visitors.
