American attorney, filmmaker, and the founder of the American Justice Federation. In 1993, she quit her job as a lawyer in Indianapolis, Indiana to start the American Justice Federation, a non-profit group that promoted pro-gun and pro-Constitution causes through a shortwave radio program, a computer bulletin board, and sales of its newsletter and videos.

Thompson was opposed to the Bill Clinton presidency, and supported conspiracy theories surrounding Vince Foster and other theories in the Clinton Chronicles. In 1994, in a letter to congressional leaders, former Rep. William Dannemeyer listed 24 people with some connection to Clinton who had died "under other than natural circumstances" and called for hearings on the matter. This list was mostly compiled by Thompson.

In 1993 she produced a videotape entitled Waco: The Big Lie, which contained footage of the siege of the Branch Davidian church in Waco, Texas and a history of the community. The videotape was distributed widely and for a short period after its release she was a regular guest on talk radio shows. The film challenged the mainstream news reports of the Branch Davidian siege and created a small sensation, alleging a government coverup of the events surrounding the siege. Thompson pointed out many inconsistencies in the official story and the government reports, and the hypocrisy of using deadly weapons to "rescue" children from their parents.

Thompson also claimed that three BATF agents, whom she alleges were killed by friendly fire during the siege, were all former bodyguards of then-President Clinton and that the friendly fire was actually an assassination ordered by Clinton.

In 1994, Thompson produced Waco II: The Big Lie Continues, in which she offered rebuttals to those who were critical of her first film.
She made a third film in 1994, America Under Siege accusing the government of using "black helicopters" against patriots, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency of establishing concentration camps, all of which would prevent them from interfering with plans to establish a "New World Order".

Attorney Linda Diane Capps,(formerly Thompson) Abrams-Dressel passed away May 10, 2009, in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was born April 26, 1953 in Atlanta, Georgia. She is preceded in death by her parents, Kermit Dean Capps, and Rosella Mae Clayton Capps-Gehman, and her sister in law, Deborah Lynn Capps. She is survived by her husband, Jan Dressel, sons, John & David Thompson (Indianapolis, IN), Jimmy Thompson (New Port Lucie, FL) brothers, Stephen Capps, Sr., Douglas Capps, (both of Elkins, West Virginia) Lawrence (Laura)Capps, of Hiram, Georgia, and sister, Annette C. (John) Nokes, Dallas, GA. Several nieces and nephews.

At Linda's request, no funeral will be held. She was cremated and her husband Jan spreaded her ashes into the gulf as per her wishes. Our family has gathered privately to remember her in prayer.

Linda was an Army veteran and a controversial attorney. After the federal raid on Ruby Ridge, Linda formed the American Justice Federation in Indianapolis, IN. She was one of the first attorneys to drive to Waco and offer to represent David Koresh before he and the others in their compound were killed. She was the first to call out the feds and Janet Reno on the senseless killings at Waco. She produced the videos "Waco The Big Lie" and "America Under Siege". She was persecuted and ridiculed for years, until later all her accusations were proven true by the mainstream media. Her legal career ended way too early due to her medical issues. She was a fierce advocate for many.
