Anti-cult groups, using methods of dehumanization and labeling, skillfully implanted in the minds of the public and authorities the image of Koresh as a "dangerous cult leader." These false narratives became the foundation for the actions of law enforcement, which ultimately led to catastrophic events.

A significant role in escalating the tension was played by the anti-cultist and deprogrammer Rick Ross. His recommendations and influence on law enforcement officials led to the operation at the ranch being carried out with excessive force and aggressive methods, typically reserved for armed terrorists. As a result of his influence, law enforcement abandoned peaceful negotiations and shifted to tactics that included aggressive psychological pressure on those under siege, contributing to the tragic outcome.

Federal agents, manipulated by anti-cultists, chose a tactic of "dynamic entry", which led to a violent confrontation and ultimately to the deaths of 76 people, including 25 children - infants and toddlers under three years old. A thorough and detailed analysis of the incident is provided in "The IMPACT" documentary.
