Waco survivor says Netflix show finally exposes the FBI’s ‘shocking cover-up’ but the real story is even more disturbing

The  US Sun  By Katy Forrester, Senior Reporter Published: 16:07 ET, May 28 2020 Updated: 4:31 ET, May 29 2020 A SURVIVOR of the deadly Waco siege says the hit Netflix series finally exposes the truth about what he calls the FBI’s “shocking cover-up”, but the real story behind the show is far more complex and disturbing. David Thibodeau, played by actor Rory Culkin in the mini-series Waco,…

[stephtastrophe]

I watched the first few episodes of Waco and it’s a really great show.

Taylor Kitsch is killing it as David Koresh! I think he plays the cult leader perfectly and you can very much see why people went and stayed with him because he was quite charming and seemed quite convincing really. Always calm even under pressure like any good leader even when he was shot! 

The story based on the real Waco siege is always an interesting one. After infiltrating them the one guy tried to call off the storming of the castle but they wouldn’t listen to him. They did have a huge store of weapons which he didn’t see though after they were conveniently moved to another room which he was very close to at one point with the ice cream scene. It does make you wonder what the weapons cache really was for and maybe they were better taking them down, or maybe they would have never used them. Maybe it was just for those circumstances only, if they ever got raided although it got them raided. It did seem a bit extreme though.

Of course Michael Shannon plays another FBI agent perfectly just like in Boardwalk Empire. He’s great as the negotiator Gary Noesner on whose book the show is based. Shea Whigham also of Boardwalk Empire is another cop and it’s great to see them in a show together again as they are both great actors.

It is also based on David Thibodeau’s book who is played very well by Rory Culkin who after meeting David at a bar and playing with his band ends up heading back with them for the night. The night just happens to become longer than one night and he falls for a girl and David’s charms and the lifestyle.

It also features Melissa Benoist from Supergirl as Koresh’s only legal wife, even though he took most of the camp as lovers even though he didn’t want to enjoy sex so it seemed a little odd. He just thought he needed to make babies ... but if he didn’t enjoy himself he would have never got babies ... am I the only one who thought that? lol. Anyways, she’s really good and you can tell how much she cared for him.

I can’t wait to watch the rest and see the siege play out until the end.

Taylor Kitsch and Rory Culkin <3

‘Waco’s Taylor Kitsch Explains How To Make A Martyr Sympathetic – The Contenders Emmys

Waco, the dramatic miniseries based on the deadly 51-day standoff in 1993 between Branch Davidians and federal law enforcement, premiered earlier this year on the Paramount Network, formerly SpikeTV. It stars Michael Shannon as real-life FBI agent Gary Noesner and Taylor Kitsch as Branch Davidians leader David Koresh.

In effort to get to the humanness of infamous Koresh, Kitsch told the packed crowd at Deadline’s The Contenders Emmys event today that found it was important to strip the character bare and go back to the start, get down to the bare bones. He requested footage of Koresh’s early sermons, researched his childhood, and lost 30 pounds.

“Yes, this is a guy who does a lot of pretty reprehensible stuff, but we’ve got to ask ourselves why,” said on the network’s panel. “That is what is going to make [his character] fly.”

Koresch’s ultimate death at the hands of ATF agents solidified his martyr status among many of the cult’s followers. A total of 76 people including Koresh died when agents raided the Waco compound.“Dave was shot through his gut, his thumb and wrist,” said Kitsch. “To those who watched him die he was this Messiah bleeding out with no medical attention, the guy who paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.”

“Dave was shot through his gut, his thumb and wrist,” said Kitsch. “To those who watched him die he was this Messiah bleeding out with no medical attention, the guy who paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.”

The show was created by brothers John Erick and Drew Dowdle, who were also on the stage at the DGA Theater panel. The sibling team also wrote and executive produced the six-episode series, relying heavily on A Place Called Waco, the book by David Thibodeau, for source material. Thibodeau was one of the nine survivors of the standoff.

Waco Survivor David Thibodeau Urges Netflix to Make Docuseries About Siege

The Hawks are too good to tank. Here are 3 moves to push their rebuild ahead.

Trae Young and Atlanta are ahead of schedule.

Coming into the 2018-19 season, most of us expected the Atlanta Hawks to be a contender for the worst team in the NBA. The biggest reason was that, by all appearances, the Hawks intended to be the worst team in the NBA. Completing a multi-year stripdown and coming off a truly bad season in 2017-18, the Hawks would be turning the squad over to rookie gunner Trae Young and rookie head coach Lloyd Pierce with no expectations to win games and a heavy reliance on time and future draft picks including Atlanta’s own.

To be sure, the Hawks are bad: 20 games under .500 bad. But instead of contending for the worst record in the league, Atlanta has 21 wins with 20 games to go, and the Hawks are actually one game closer to the No. 8 seed than they are to the bottom slot in the East. The Hawks have been substantially more competitive than anticipated, and other rebuilding teams — nearly all in the East — have been substantially worse than expected. This includes the Knicks (13 wins), Cavaliers (15), and Bulls (17).

The upshot is that by next year, assuming Young continues to play well, John Collins stays healthy, and Atlanta drafts well in June, the Hawks might be too good to tank.

The Athletic’s Sam Amick reports that Atlanta will enter free agency prepared to add talent that comes available given how (relatively) well the young team has played. But certainly any moves to bring in veteran talent have to make sense for the Hawks’ larger game plan to build around Young. Here are three moves that could make sense this summer.

1. Trade for Kevin Love

Love has returned to the lineup for tanking Cleveland and has looked great. He’ll be 31 years old before the next NBA season begins, and has $120 million due over the next four years on an extension signed last summer. But unlike the Hawks, the Cavaliers really seem to be setting up for another tank year — Cleveland doesn’t have a single young prospect as good as Atlanta’s second best, Collins. Plus, the Cavaliers actually owe a top-10 protected pick to Atlanta.

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

Given Love’s age, contract, and injury history, the Hawks shouldn’t have to give up much to land Love beyond Cleveland’s own pick back and maybe another asset. Love’s skill set fits Atlanta’s budding style to the hilt, and while a Love-Collins frontcourt might be deficient on defense, the offense would be potentially spectacular.

This would be an opportunity to fast-track true respectability in Atlanta.

2. Poach one of the Sixers’ big free agents

Philadelphia has three major free agents this summer: Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris, and J.J. Redick. Depending on what happens in the playoffs, it would seem as if the Sixers will prioritize Harris (he’s a spectacular fit with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons) and will try to keep the others on shorter deals, much like Redick has signed previously with Philly.

The odds that Philadelphia keeps all three given the financial implications are low.

Redick might be the best basketball fit out of the three, but he’s already 34 and likely does not want to join another young team on the rise after doing so with the Sixers two years ago. Harris would be a great offensive fit with Young, but you run into similar defensive issues up front if you pair him with Collins long-term. But the age and overall fit are good.

Butler is an intriguing option. Everyone thinks his market will be limited because of his dramatic exit from Minnesota and the fact that Harris is so much a better fit in Philly. The wear and tear concerns are real. Young teams will be especially hesitant to roll the dice given how violently the Timberwolves locker room imploded directly because of Butler’s antics (and Tom Thibodeau’s allowance of those antics to bloom).

Yet, on the court, pairing a supplemental playmaker and shot creator like Butler — one who can defend his tail off and will expect teammates to do the same — with Young is an entrancing option. This is probably not on the table for Atlanta, but it’s fun to consider.

3. Pick up young value prospects

There are going to be about 200 free agents this summer, and most won’t draw many headlines. Some of those are smart fits for Atlanta.

Willie Cauley-Stein, who will be a restricted free agent, is one. Center is probably the Hawks’ biggest position of need, and the Kings have Marvin Bagley and Harry Giles lined up as the presumptive frontcourt of the future, meaning that Cauley-Stein could be attainable in a sign-and-trade or with a big enough offer sheet.

On the wing, Malcolm Brogdon could be a restricted free agent Atlanta might have a chance at snapping up given that Milwaukee has to deal with unrestricted free agency for Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, and Brook Lopez.

Some other restricted free agents of that ilk who Atlanta could make moves on: Maxi Kleber, Delon Wright, Rodney McGruder, Jake Layman.

Atlanta could use its considerable cap space to instead chase young players in trades, as well. As teams try to pry Anthony Davis from New Orleans, Atlanta could take on someone like Brandon Ingram (if the Pelicans don’t want him) in exchange for picks or absorbing bad contracts.

Texas Forever: Taylor Kitsch Is Doing Hollywood His Way (Exclusive) Taylor Kitsch isn’t here to impress. “I get so bored if I play the same or look the same in every role,” Kitsch says on a pleasant January afternoon in Pasadena, Calif. The 36-year-old actor is gearing up for the most transformative role of his career in Waco, the six-part Paramount Network miniseries about the 1993 siege premiering Wednesday, Jan. 24. The Kelowna, British Columbia, native plays David Koresh, controversial leader of the Branch Davidians, who, along with 75 of his followers, perished in a deadly fire following a violent 51-day standoff with the FBI. “Maybe it’s an older school mindset,” he theorizes, leaning back in his chair in deep thought, a cool, laidback confidence radiating from him. “I love the grind.” Kitsch first broke out onscreen in 2006, as brooding bad boy Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights, becoming a favorite among young female fans of the NBC drama. Since the show ended in 2011, he’s largely steered away from roles akin to the character that propelled him to heartthrob status, instead leaning into parts that weren’t exactly tailor-made for him to begin with: a gay activist in The Normal Heart, a villainous operative in American Assassin, a successful weed dealer in Savages and most recently, one of the elite firefighters battling the Yarnell Hill Fire in Only the Brave. “I grew up on these guys, like the Sean Penns and the Gary Oldmans. I think there’s a high to that. I love that challenge,” he says. “When I started studying acting that was kind of what it was about: figuring out your process to create these different characters.” As Koresh, Kitsch unlocks another hidden ability in his growing breadth as an actor, exuding a level of charm and magnetism in Waco that is both mesmerizing and mystifying, only because the man he portrays wasn’t a good man at all. “There aren’t many characters like this that exist. He’s enigmatic and crazy brilliant and crazy, period,” says Kitsch, who calls Austin, Texas home. In order to realistically embody the sect leader, Kitsch -- who also serves as an executive producer -- grew out his hair and dropped 30 pounds in four months; his 500-calorie diet consisted of egg whites, coffee, vegetables, a tiny bit of protein and, after 4 p.m., broth. “Losing weight when you already don’t have too much to lose, it’s no fun, but it’s just part of it,” Kitsch says of his transformation, adding that it played “a huge part in the cadence” of a “mad genius” like Koresh. “The way you walk, the way you feel… It reaffirmed how smart he had to be because it was never blunt force. It couldn’t be. He couldn’t intimidate that way.” It also required Kitsch to lose himself in Koresh’s world -- and he took it quite literally. For months leading up to filming in Santa Fe, New Mexico, last April, Kitsch devoted “eight to 10 hours a day” familiarizing himself with all facets of David Koresh’s intricate life. That included four hours of guitar and singing lessons, scripture readings, dissecting hours upon hours of Koresh’s tapes and researching his difficult upbringing. “It was almost laughable in the beginning. I would joke around about how much prep I had,” Kitsch recalls. There were moments during the production of Waco that proved challenging. Kitsch zeroed in on the sermons as being particularly “tough” to memorize and he became obsessed with nailing the improbable task. “I’m more known for saying less is more,” Kitsch says, alluding to his famous FNL character, Riggins, “so to be as talky as Dave… But when you’re mixing in scripture, it’s just so hard to infuse into my brain. I’d be in my house in Santa Fe and I’d have all these white boards all over the house of scriptures and psalms and everything that I had to remember in episode five, six or in a monologue. Everywhere in the house I could see it, I would say it out loud, walk over there, see it and say it out loud.” The most daunting part about playing Koresh, though, had nothing to do with memorizing nine-page sermons and everything to do with standing in front of a mic. “The singing and guitar was ******ing scary man,” Kitsch confesses, a nervous laugh escaping his lips. (Koresh performed with his band in local Waco bars and church services. Survivor David Thibodeau, whose 1999 book on which Waco is based, said Koresh recruited members through music.) “I’ve never been in a ******ing singing booth either, putting it on a track so we could go film it two days later. So I’d go in the studio with a real band, which is scary to begin with, and be like, ‘Hey, I’m about to sing ‘My Sharona,’ are you ready?’ and they’re like” -- he gives a knowing look -- “‘All right...?’ They were awesome and supportive, and I gained a lot of confidence from that.” There was once a time when Kitsch’s stardom was fast approaching elite status. Fresh off the success of Friday Night Lights, Hollywood came knocking with two very expensive tentpoles, Battleship and John Carter -- films that held the promise of proclaiming him the next franchise superstar. It just didn’t happen. Both films bombed at the box office and were panned by critics. “I’ll read articles, but I won’t go on Rotten Tomatoes,” Kitsch, who only recently joined Instagram, cracks. Though it didn’t seem that way at the time, in hindsight, his failures were blessings in disguise: Kitsch had the opportunity to redirect his career on a far more interesting path. “I feel I’ve stayed the course,” Kitsch says, analyzing his ups and downs with a refreshing candor. “I’m proud of the way I reacted to John Carter. I’m proud of the way I reacted to Battleship. I still have no regrets really. At the time in your life that these opportunities present themselves, I would have done it again knowing the circumstance and knowing what was going on. What I’m proud of is my work ethic throughout. I’ve never wavered. I feel like I’m getting better and better. I think Waco is a great example of that.” “When you have people who believe in you and give you these chances, I just won’t let go of that opportunity,” he adds, his steadfast loyalty and gratitude to those who have seen him as more than just a pretty face unwavering. “I don’t know if it’s something I’ve learned; it’s something I’m proud of -- that I’ve, in that sense, kept grinding. It’s kind of all I know now. I’ve always -- in sports, in life -- there’s a way I make it where I have to grind, you know what I mean? It’s the underdog thing. It carries me or I carry that with me, whatever that is.” Kitsch has rarely spoken about the much-maligned second season of HBO’s True Detective, in which he portrayed closeted highway officer and ex-military man Paul Woodrugh. He acknowledges that the 2015 season was far from perfect though his experience was “really, really positive” (“Obviously, it’s not the best case that people didn’t react to it that way,” Kitsch says). While it may seem, from the outside at least, to have been a contributing factor in the long gap between TV projects, Kitsch assures that wasn’t the case. “I remember watching season one [of True Detective] -- I haven’t told anyone this -- and sitting in bed and I was like, ‘If I could ******ing get on a show like that…,” he remembers. “You’re allowed to let go a lot easier when you understand you put everything you could that you had control over that you felt you knocked out. You can walk away a lot easier.” Kitsch still keeps in touch with creator Nic Pizzolatto (“I’d go work with Nic tomorrow”) and he’s looking forward to the third installment with Oscar winner Mahershala Ali (“They got an amazing cast”). There’s an ounce of disappointment in his voice when he eventually evaluates what went wrong. “Season one was incredible and I think it’ll go down as all-time, and that says a lot because there is some amazing stuff in the last 30 years. I think the bar was crazy high, which I have no problem swinging for, but there were some constraints in the timing of it,” Kitsch says. “Sometimes you’re on a movie or you’re in a relationship and the magic just isn’t there, or you are in one and everything just seems to play out the right way. I’m sure I could speak for the other leads in it -- man, we were all proud to be there. Everyone came beyond prepared -- you have to when you’re working with Nic -- and we swung.” Next for Kitsch is a tale that has stayed in his brain for the past several years, like an earworm that just won’t leave his head. Titled Pieces, Kitsch plans to write, direct, star and produce the feature film based on his 2014 short about three guys who grew up in the worst part of town with a sudden opportunity to change their kids’ and families’ lives. “It’s a bit savage-y. It’s a bit Western-y. It’s a grimy movie. Everything f***king goes crazy,” Kitsch says with a glint of excitement piercing through his deep green eyes. He’s never done anything this intensive before, executing his own idea from page to screen. Could this be Kitsch’s next chapter in his career? “We’ll see how this goes,” he says with an anxious laugh. Asked if he’s nervous about jumping into something so deeply personal that will truly be his, Kitsch didn’t mince words: “You should be. Hopefully, I’m nervous about my next job too. It’s a story that won’t leave me. I want to do this and I want to do it my way.”

5 TED Talks All Inbound Leaders Need to Watch

Being a leader is tough stuff. 

Whether you're a General in the Army, where the decisions you make are literally life or death or you're a manager of a small, but growing marketing team (where sometimes those decisions also feel like life or death), leading can be the most difficult thing you'll ever do in your career. 

There is no way to describe the elation that you feel as a leader when something "goes right" or you see your team success and overcome -- but, there is also no way to describe the opposite feeling of responsibility when things go sideways or flat out fail. 

Having a toolbox full of great leaders to learn from, to gather inspiration from, and to help you grow is vital.

For those of us who are committed to not just being leaders, but being Inbound Leaders, the following talks (ranging from specific-leadership styles to more subtle nuances of vulnerability) give us insight to how to approach leadership more holistically and as a journey rather than a destination. 

1. David Logan - Tribal Leadership

  Stepping into a group of people and calling yourself a "leader" doesn’t make you one or them, a team.

In both in his best-seller and his TED Talk, David Logan teaches us that we are all in tribes. 

Being in a tribe is something that happens automatically - whether you realize it or not.

As the Inbound Leader of that tribe (or team at work), you have influential power over how effective and well a tribe comes together and operates.   Logan unpacks how understanding where your tribe currently sits and how to support their growth both as individuals and as a team is invaluable.

His very actionable advice and scorecard to measure where your team currently is was an incredible tool for me to first understand where my team was and what I needed to foster within that team to help it grow. 

The concepts of tribes and the influence that leaders can have over them are foundational in the study of Inbound Leadership. Much like servant leadership, Inbound Leaders exist to the service of their teams, not the other way around. 

In inbound, where culture is paramount, tribes and the study of Tribal Leadership puts where your culture is on center stages and provides directional and immediate steps you can take to course correct if needed. 

2. Simon Sinek - Leaders Eat Last

  Would this be a real article on TED talks about leadership if I didn't include Simon? The answer is no; no, it would not be. 

Sinek was the first major speaker/author I heard on the topic of leadership. He spoke at INBOUND '14 and his message was so powerful, I've followed his content ever since. 

Now, I'm not the only wanna-be-best-ever leader to follow Simon. His TED Talk has been viewed 9 million times, but I alone can claim a cool half million of those views. 

His theories on leadership are more observations and mix science, chemicals, and real-life examples of those things in action.

He teaches us that leadership is about servitude, not stature. That leaders truly and deeply eat last - that the needs of the whole come before the needs of the leader. 

This is so easy to rally behind; but SO difficult to put into practice. Remind yourself where you actually rank in your team by grabbing a coffee and diving into Simon's talk.  

3. Brené Brown - The Power of Vulnerability

  Oh, Brené.

From her witty delivery to her oh-so-relatable stories of vulnerability, Brené's talks about the power of being vulnerable stay with you.

Now, while her research and resulting theory are applicable to nearly every facet of life, it's particularly applicable to leaders. 

Inbound Leadership demands a level of vulnerability from you to your team. Without it, you can never expect them to share their biggest fears, goals, wins, and successes with you. Model the behavior you wish to see. 

I shared a story months ago about how I struggled with being vulnerable and what that did to my tribe. It was a HARD lesson to learn, but one that I will never forget. 

  4. General McChrystal -Listen, learn ... then lead

Chris Duprey, our COO here at IMPACT is a student of leadership and not a half-bad leader himself. (Don't tell him I said that, I like to keep him humble!)

I couldn't begin to articulate the value of McChrystal's talk, so I'm going to let him do it: 

"With a remarkable record of achievement, General Stanley McChrystal has been praised for creating a revolution in warfare that fused intelligence and operations. A four-star general, he is the former commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan and the former leader of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), which oversees the military’s most sensitive forces. McChrystal’s leadership of JSOC is credited with the December 2003 capture of Saddam Hussein and the June 2006 location and killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. McChrystal, a former Green Beret, is known for his candor."

The concept of listening first sounds so obvious, but, it isn't.

It's in our nature, especially when we find ourselves in a management or leadership role to first assume that it's our job to talk. I am so guilty of this. I get nervous and just start going.  Inbound leadership requires you to assume many roles, but the single most important is that of an active listener. Listening to understand was one of the biggest pieces of feedback I had for leaders who are managing high-performers (or anyone really).  General McChrystal takes listening to a deeper level and anyone who wishes to be considered an Inbound Leader MUST watch and then apply his direction. 

5. Tom Thibodeau - The Positive Power of Servant Leadership

Servant leadership is a term that's fairly well-known, but sadly very very few leaders truly embrace the power of approaching their tribes, with a vulnerable, servant mindset. 

Your job as a leader is not to point, but to elevate.

You can't elevate if you stand in front or on top. You can elevate by getting down, below, and pushing up or being a stepping stone for someone to climb. 

Be the stone, the rock, the ladder for your team to climb as they learn from you and build stronger tribes around them. 

We Are All Leaders...

whether we have the title or not.

For those of us with those leadership titles, the responsibility to get it right is great and one that shouldn't be overlooked. To carry an even more meaningful title of Inbound Leader, it requires that you continue to study the craft of motivation, listening, vulnerability, and strength in difficult situations.  It may seem overwhelming and it is. But, the single greatest thing you can do for your teams is to start. Make the commitment to be an Inbound Leader, truly evolve that definition to what it means to you, study the greats of leadership, and then...apply them.

Moving Dunes – An experiential Mirage in the Heart of Downtown Montreal

Moving Dunes is inspired by the early arts. It is an extension of the temporary exhibit From Africa to the Americas: Face-to-face Picasso, Past and Present, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA). The plastic approach of cubist painters questions the role of perspective in visual representation.

Anamorphosis, which is the distortion of the subject reconfiguring itself according to the position of the body in space, is one of the methods used. Through this process, Moving Dunes introduces the public to the essence of this approach in a playful way.

By manipulating the street surface, large ripples are generated, recalling the features of a body or a face. Reflective spheres and geometric shapes amplify patterns and multiply points of view. As the observer moves, the street transforms, shapes are reversed, the ground comes alive and destabilizes.

Moving Dunes is an experiential mirage in the heart of Downtown Montreal. Along the way, the passer-by discovers the presence of spheres reflecting the different buildings of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, all unique in their architecture and history. Moving Dunes brings together the real and the virtual worlds and awakens the senses.

The MMFA animated the pedestrian area of avenue Du Musée, which has become a must-see for citizens and tourists alike. The goal was to pedestrianize the street and to create a temporary signature layout.

Among the challenges encountered were the development of a concept in relation to the theme of the exhibition, the activation of a pedestrian public space while allowing the passage of emergency vehicles, and the creation of an experience with high media impact on a limited budget.

Paramount Network estrenará la miniserie ‘Waco’

Los espectadores del canal podrán disfrutar de Wako, la miniserie del momento, basada en la historia real que conmocionó al mundo

Una escena de Waco, la miniserie que podrás ver en Paramount Network

El lunes 3 de diciembre a partir de las 22:15h, en doble episodio, llegará en exclusiva a España la producción de Paramount Network Waco. La miniserie basada en hechos reales, narra en seis episodios las diferentes perspectivas de sus protagonistas en el enfrentamiento de 51 días entre el FBI, la ATF (Agencia Federal de los Estados Unidos Alcohol, Tabaco, Armas de Fuego y Explosivos) y el grupo liderado por el profeta David Koresh, asentado a las afueras de la ciudad de Waco en Texas.

Esta producción de Paramount Network EEUU traslada a los espectadores a febrero de 1993, momento en el que la sociedad seguía de cerca uno de los sucesos más impactantes acontecidos en los noventa en Estados Unidos: la redada que llevó a cabo la ATF contra el líder de esta comunidad y que derivó en dos meses de asedio por parte del FBI. Más de cincuenta días que mantuvieron en vilo a la comunidad internacional hasta el momento en el que el edificio ubicado en Monte Carmelo y donde residían sus miembros, fue consumido por las llamas en un trágico incendio que aún permanece en el imaginario colectivo.

Este rompedor debut del canal norteamericano en la producción de series en televisión, ha seguido de cerca una de las historias más mediáticas de la televisión, un enfrentamiento de armas y fuego llevado a la pequeña pantalla de la mano de los hermanos Erick Dowdle y Drew Dowdle. Para ilustrar en televisión el popularmente conocido como Asadio de Waco, tomaron como referencia la biografía Waco: A Survivor’s Story, escrita por Branch Davidian David Thibodeau, uno de los supervivientes del incendio, y la de Stalling for Time: My Life, escrita por el Jefe de la unidad de negociacion de crisis del FBI, Gary Noesner.

Dos obras que han servido de referencia para dar luz a la historia de la trágica masacre homónima desde puntos de vista contrarios: a través del agente del FBI Gary Noesner y a través de las víctimas de la matanza a partir de la figura de su líder y profeta, David Koresh. Además, la miniserie cuenta con un impresionante reparto con nombres como Michael Shannon, como Gary Noesner, el negociador principal del FBI; Taylor Kitsch, interpretando el papel del líder de culto David Koresh, o John Leguizamo como agente de la ATF, entre otros.

10 NBA coaches on the hot seat this season

The NBA is a “get wins or get out” enterprise. The business can be callous at times, spurning head coaches who have seemingly earned job security — a lesson Dwane Casey learned the hard way in May. It’s still hard to imagine Casey on the Pistons’ sideline.

It may seem ridiculous to already be speculating about which coaches could be fired this season, but the 2018-19 season is practically upon us, and before we know it, some team will be searching for a new leader. With the preseason already underway, here are 10 coaches on the hot seat.

10. Alvin Gentry, Pelicans

You could argue Anthony Davis’ impressive late-season surge saved Gentry’s job last season. The Pelicans won their first playoff series in the Davis era — an encouraging sign — but the Warriors quickly vanquished New Orleans’ momentum. This seems to be a pivotal moment for the franchise. The Pelicans didn’t have much spending money this summer, as the squad had already dished out hefty contracts to players like E’Twaun Moore, Alexis Ajinca, and Omer Asik. The team allowed DeMarcus Cousins to bolt and signed bargain-basement assets Jahlil Okafor and Elfrid Payton, in addition to Julius Randle. The Pelicans are reliant on Davis sustaining MVP-level production; if he and Jrue Holiday crash back to earth early this season, however, GM Dell Demps — left with little flexibility to add another impact player — may opt to make a coaching change.

9. Tyronn Lue, Cavaliers

It seems the pressure should finally be off of Lue now that LeBron James has joined a new team, right? We disagree. It’s no secret that King James was highly influential in Lue replacing David Blatt midway through the 2015-16 season. Though Cleveland reached the Finals in each year under Lue, the Cavs’ success was always served with a hefty side of drama. With his ties to LeBron now irrelevant, Lue’s job security appears precarious. The Cavs’ talent level is suddenly average — if you’re looking at it optimistically — and the team this summer doubled down on Kevin Love, giving him a four-year extension. That indicates the team will presumably build around the 30-year-old Love. With Cleveland’s finances in disarray and no real prospect of competing for a title in the near future, the Cavs appear headed downhill fast, and Lue could lose his job as a result of a bad season.

8. Mike Malone, Nuggets

In April, Denver GM Tim Connelly said Malone’s job was safe. “I guess [questioning Malone’s job status is] the unfortunate narrative of professional basketball, but Mo’s done a fantastic job,” Connelly told the Denver Post. The Nuggets narrowly missed out on the postseason. With a roster that’s brimming with young talent, you have to wonder whether Malone’s job will indeed be safe if the Nuggets limp out of the gate. With a young core centered on Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, and Gary Harris, expectations are high. Malone’s contract is up after 2018-19, so it wouldn’t be a big surprise for Denver to part ways with the former Kings head coach. To hold onto his job, Malone will need his team’s defense to improve; last season, the Nuggets had the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league.

7. Luke Walton, Lakers

With great (star) power comes great responsibility. As Lue noted, having LeBron on the roster generates “outside tension,” which puts “added pressure immediately on the coaches.” Walton now has arguably the toughest role in the league: coaching LeBron. Walton’s job already seemed in jeopardy last season, when LaVar Ball was calling out the young coach. The Lakers have improved in each season under Walton, but expectations are at a new level this season. In Cleveland, Lue got a bit of a break because fans — and management — recognized LeBron had little talent surrounding him. In L.A., however, the situation is different. The Lakers are flush with promising young pieces, and they shelled out cap space to acquire veteran role players like Rajon Rondo and Lance Stephenson this summer. Though the Lakers’ long-term prospects are encouraging, the situation this season has all the makings of something that could go wrong out of the gate. The team lacks shooters and a reliable second scoring option. If the early season goes poorly, the 38-year-old Walton could be the fall guy.

6. Doc Rivers, Clippers

The Clippers have officially moved on from Lob City — Chris Paul was traded to the Rockets, Blake Griffin was traded to the Pistons, and DeAndre Jordan signed with the Mavericks. With that era in the past, the team may also look to move on from Rivers, who’s been with L.A. since 2013. He’s no longer heading up the front office, and when he shifted to focusing exclusively on coaching last season, the results were surprisingly good. Despite the roster lacking noticeable talent, the Clippers — led by surprise star Lou Williams — hung around in the West playoff race and finished with a winning record (42-40). Given the team’s performance last season, Rivers’ job isn’t in major jeopardy, but it’s also not entirely secure. L.A. could retool with two max-contract players in 2019, and if the team wants to usher in an entirely new chapter, it may change its leadership as well.

5. Terry Stotts, Blazers

Stotts is the leading candidate to replicate Casey’s fate this season. He’s done a tremendous job in Portland, but his team hasn’t found success in the postseason. Shortly after Portland fell to New Orleans in Game 4 of their first-round series, completing the Pelicans’ sweep, Marc Stein tweeted that “murmurs have already started in coaching circles that 10 consecutive playoff defeats will cost Terry Stotts his job.” GM Neil Olshey elected to keep Stotts around — for now. Rumors have also indicated the Blazers are open to shopping C.J. McCollum or Damian Lillard, but it’s tough to imagine the team breaking up the electrifying young backcourt. Portland also this summer re-signed big man Jusuf Nurkic, doubling down on its current roster. With Stotts owning an uninspiring 12-28 career postseason record, he could be the scapegoat if this team falls short yet again, or falls behind in the competitive playoff race by the All-Star break.

4. Fred Hoiberg, Bulls

Who knows what’s going to happen with the Chicago Bulls this season? That team looks entirely unpredictable. Hoiberg was successful at Iowa State, and he was considered one of the hottest young coaching commodities in hoops circles — but his move to the NBA, like Billy Donovan’s, has not been ideal. His Bulls teams haven’t escaped the first round since he took over, and his win total has declined every year. Chicago has an enticing group of young players — Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. are particularly promising — but it isn’t clear who will bear the Bulls’ primary scoring burden. Zach Lavine? Jabari Parker? Is having one of those players as your primary option even remotely encouraging? Hoiberg’s system has not translated well to the NBA; the 45-year-old may not make it through year four of his five-year deal.

3. Dave Joerger, Kings

Seemingly everyone was baffled when the Grizzlies didn’t bring back Joerger. The Kings were thrilled to sign the emerging young coach, who had pushed Golden State to six games and had led Memphis to 55 regular-season wins. But his time in Sacramento has been a letdown. In Joerger’s first season (2016-17), Sacramento won 32 games; last season, the Kings won 27. If their win total declines yet again — which many expect it will given the proliferation of talent in the West — the Kings may allow Joerger’s contract to expire. The wrinkle in this situation: Sacramento has embraced a rebuild and is focused on developing its young talent. If De’Aaron Fox, Marvin Bagley III, or Harry Giles seem to be blossoming into a star, the Kings may hesitate to switch coaches, fearful of stunting the young player’s development.

2. Tom Thibodeau, Timberwolves

Minnesota made the playoffs last season for the first time since 2003-04, but Thibs is in serious trouble. Despite the playoff berth, last season was a letdown. With Jimmy Butler, Andrew Wiggins, and Karl-Anthony Towns in tow, pundits expected the Wolves to challenge the top teams in the West. Instead, they limped into the playoffs and barely challenged Houston in the first round. Now, Butler — who also played for Thibs in Chicago — wants a trade to a major-market team with space to sign him to a max deal. Butler’s camp can try to spin this a different way, but there’s no denying the dynamics in Minnesota’s locker room were off. The three stars just didn’t play well together, and personalities seemed to clash. Some responsibility for that funky dynamic has to fall on the coach. Thibs’ coaching approach may have worked with the hard-nosed Bulls, led by Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, but he hasn’t replicated his success in Minnesota. This situation looks poised to blow up.

1. Billy Donovan, Thunder

You have to wonder whether Donovan regrets leaving Florida. In his first season, the Thunder took a 3-1 lead on the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals — but, of course, they blew that series (and have not escaped the first round since that point). Then another blow: OKC lost Kevin Durant to Golden State. Then Russell Westbrook turned into a one-man wrecking crew, driving basketball purists mad. Last season featured the awkward Carmelo Anthony Experiment, and the season ended in disappointing fashion with a hasty exit at the hands of the Jazz. OKC brought back Paul George this summer, and GM Sam Presti said “continuity is (Donovan’s) best friend going forward.” With George back, Anthony gone, and Dennis Schroder added to the rotation, OKC is starting to gain some title buzz — they could challenge Houston as the West’s No. 2 team, people are saying. Fans are expecting a contender. Donovan inherited a tough gig with high expectations, and this appears to be his final chance. If his team doesn’t escape the first round yet again this year, he’ll all but certainly be looking for a new job (perhaps back in the NCAA ranks).
