And they say that our government failed to stop the Boston bombing because they were too busy spying on millions of innocent Americans instead of focusing on actual bad guys. “So why is the government conducting mass surveillance on the American people? “5,000 Years of History Shows that Mass Spying Is Always Aimed at Crushing Dissent “For thousands of years, tyrants have spied on their own people in order to crush dissent. “Keith Laidler – a PhD anthropologist, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a past member of the Scientific Exploration Society – explains: “The rise of city states and empires … meant that each needed to know not only the disposition and morale of their enemy, but also the loyalty and general sentiment of their own population. “The Encyclopedia of Espionage, Intelligence and Security notes: “Espionage is one of the oldest, and most well documented, political and military arts. The rise of the great ancient civilizations, beginning 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, begat institutions and persons devoted to the security and preservation of their ruling regimes. *** “Early Egyptian pharos [some 5,000 years ago] employed agents of espionage to ferret-out disloyal subject and to locate tribes that could be conquered and enslaved. *** “The Roman Empire possessed a fondness for the practice of political espionage. Spies engaged in both foreign and domestic political operations, gauging the political climate of the Empire and surrounding lands by eavesdropping in the Forum or in public market spaces.

By the third century, Roman authors noted the pervasiveness and excessive censorship of the secret police forces, likening them to an authoritative force or an occupational army. “The BBC notes: “In the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church was more powerful than most governments – and it had a powerful surveillance network to match. “French Bishop Bernard Gui was a noted author and one of the leading architects of the Inquisition in the late 13th and early 14th Centuries. For 15 years, he served as head inquisitor of Toulouse, where he convicted more than 900 individuals of heresy. “A noted author and historian, Gui was best known for the Conduct of the Inquisition into Heretical Depravity, written in 1323-24, in which he outlined the means for identifying, interrogating and punishing heretics. “The U.S. Supreme Court noted in Stanford v. Texas (1965): “While the Fourth Amendment [of the U.S. Constitution] was most immediately the product of contemporary revulsion against a regime of writs of assistance, its roots go far deeper. Its adoption in the Constitution of this new Nation reflected the culmination in England a few years earlier of a struggle against oppression which had endured for centuries. The story of that struggle has been fully chronicled in the pages of this Court’s reports, and it would be a needless exercise in pedantry to review again the detailed history of the use of general warrants as instruments of oppression from the time of the Tudors, through the Star Chamber, the Long Parliament, the Restoration, and beyond. “What is significant to note is that this history is largely a history of conflict between the Crown and the press. It was in enforcing the laws licensing the publication of literature and, later, in prosecutions for seditious libel, that general warrants were systematically used in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. In Tudor England, officers of the Crown were given roving commissions to search where they pleased in order to suppress and destroy the literature of dissent, both Catholic and Puritan. In later years, warrants were sometimes more specific in content, but they typically authorized of all persons connected of the premises of all persons connected with the publication of a particular libel, or the arrest and seizure of all the papers of a named person thought to be connected with a libel. “By “libel”, the court is referring to a critique of the British government which the King or his ministers didn’t like … they would label such criticism “libel” and then seize all of the author’s papers. “The Supreme Court provided interesting historical details in the case of Marcus v. Search Warrant(1961): “The use by government of the power of search and seizure as an adjunct to a system for the suppression of objectionable publications … was a principal instrument for the enforcement of the Tudor licensing system. The Stationers’ Company was incorporated in 1557 to help implement that system, and was empowered ““to make search whenever it shall please them in any place, shop, house, chamber, or building or any printer, binder or bookseller whatever within our kingdom of England or the dominions of the same of or for any books or things printed, or to be printed, and to seize, take hold, burn, or turn to the proper use of the aforesaid community, all and several those books and things which are or shall be printed contrary to the form of any statute, act, or proclamation, made or to be made. . . . “An order of counsel confirmed and expanded the Company’s power in 1566, and the Star Chamber reaffirmed it in 1586 by a decree ““That it shall be lawful for the wardens of the said Company for the time being or any two of the said Company thereto deputed by the said wardens, to make search in all workhouses, shops, warehouses of printers, booksellers, bookbinders, or where they shall have reasonable cause of suspicion, and all books [etc.] . . . contrary to . . . these present ordinances to stay and take to her Majesty’s use. . . .”” “Books thus seized were taken to Stationers’ Hall where they were inspected by ecclesiastical officers, who decided whether they should be burnt. These powers were exercised under the Tudor censorship to suppress both Catholic and Puritan dissenting literature. “Each succeeding regime during turbulent Seventeenth Century England used the search and seizure power to suppress publications. James I commissioned the ecclesiastical judges comprising the Court of High Commission ““to enquire and search for . . . all heretical, schismatical and seditious books, libels, and writings, and all other books, pamphlets and portraitures offensive to the state or set forth without sufficient and lawful authority in that behalf, . . . and the same books [etc.] and their printing presses themselves likewise to seize and so to order and dispose of them . . . as they may not after serve or be employed for any such unlawful use. . . .”” “The Star Chamber decree of 1637, reenacting the requirement that all books be licensed, continued the broad powers of the Stationers’ Company to enforce the licensing laws. During the political overturn of the 1640′s, Parliament on several occasions asserted the necessity of a broad search and seizure power to control printing. Thus, an order of 1648 gave power to the searchers ““to search in any house or place where there is just cause of suspicion that Presses are kept and employed in the printing of Scandalous and lying Pamphlets, . . . [and] to seize such scandalous and lying pamphlets as they find upon search. . . .”” “The Restoration brought a new licensing act in 1662. Under its authority, “messengers of the press” operated under the secretaries of state, who issued executive warrants for the seizure of persons and papers. These warrants, while sometimes specific in content, often gave the most general discretionary authority. For example, a warrant to Roger L’Estrange, the Surveyor of the Press, empowered him to “seize all seditious books and libels and to apprehend the authors, contrivers, printers, publishers, and dispersers of them,” and to ““search any house, shop, printing room, chamber, warehouse, etc. for seditious, scandalous or unlicensed pictures, books, or papers, to bring away or deface the same, and the letter press, taking away all the copies. . . .]”” — Washingtons Blog globalresearch.ca/from-ancient-egypt-to-modern-america-spying-has-always-been-used-to-crush-dissent/5388776 Secondary reference: washingtonsblog/2014/03/snowden-weve-actually-tremendous-intelligence-failures-monitoring-internet-monitoring-know-everybodys-communications-instead.html **** “Serpent” By the Honorable Elijah Muhammad “Allah (God) drove out both Adam and Eve and cursed the serpent and set a day of execution upon the (human) serpent (the devil and Satan) and enmity and hatred (discord, dislike, disapproval) between the apostles and prophets of God and the human serpent. “And God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field, and I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise thy head and thou shall bruise his heel” (Gen. 3: 15). “Notice that the above verse refers to the woman’s seed as “it” and in the last two words of verse 15, “his heel” is used. The woman’s seed and the serpent’s seed are involved. Therefore, the seed of the two will settle the wrong between the woman and the serpent caused by the serpent in the Garden of Paradise 6,000 years ago. The woman’s seed shall bruise the serpent’s head. “What is the head of this human serpent? It is the false religious leaders of the human beast serpent. “Come hither, I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters with whom kings of the earth have committed fornication and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk.” (They are silly drunk from the false religious teachings of the head of the serpent. Under this drunkenness they war against the truth and persecute and kill the servants of truth, thinking that They are doing God’s will, or they try to prevent the truth from manifesting falsehood). “In the fourth verse, the woman is arrayed in purple and scarlet color and is filthy. In the first and sixteenth verses, she is called a whore. The beast supports her.” —The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (Reprinted from Message To The Blackman, 1965.) finalcall/artman/publish/Columns_4/article_10031.shtml ‘The Lie and the Liar Are Being Exposed (Part 1)’ ‘Intentional misinterpretation of The Truth’: Biblical depiction of Satan’s acts of deception “Let us look at “Satan’s Deception in The Garden of Eden” from the scriptures of both the Bible and Holy Qur’an, which give us many incidents of the lies and deceptions of Satan. The first lie that is recorded in the Bible came from that which is described as a “serpent”—in the lie was an intentional misinterpretation of The Truth that God had spoken to Adam. “In the Book of Genesis, Chapter 2, verses 16-17, God made it very clear in His Instructions, “Eat not of this tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil, for the day you eat of it you shall surely die”: “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” That was a very clear instruction from The Mouth of God! Now let’s go to the Book of Genesis, Chapter 3, and look at the clever words of Satan. In verse 1it teaches: “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, ‘Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’ “Now, we know that snakes don’t talk; so, this picture of a “serpent” that was present in The Garden with Adam and Eve should tell us that The Enemy of Truth is always present when Truth is spoken, when God is giving instructions! Well, where is he if he is “always present”? He is sitting up inside of self. When “the self” does not like, or agree with, The Truth that the ear has heard; or “the self” doubts or disagrees with The Command of God, and wants to know “Why God would forbid me to eat from this tree, since,” according to the scripture, “that tree looked so good for food?”: There’s nothing wrong with anyone asking the question “Why?” The problem is who you ask, because when you ask the question “Why?” you want to go to the root of what it is that you’re seeking. ““Why”: As an adverb, it means “For what? For what reason? For what cause? For what purpose?” As a noun, it is a “question concerning the cause or a reason for which something is done or achieved.” So “the serpent,” knowing that a question was in the mind of Adam when God told him to do something: Adam did not have to ask “Why?” for the question came up in his brain! And so “the serpent” answers the “Why?” by making an interpretation of The Command of God: “Oh, God didn’t mean that you would ‘surely die’. He meant that your eyes would come open, and you would be as wise as He when you know why.” “What is the meaning of a “serpent”? Of course, it is a “snake”; but when it is referring to a human being, it means “a wily, sly, treacherous, or malicious person—especially one who exploits a position of trust in order to betray it.” “In the same chapter, verses 2-4 teach: “And the woman said unto the serpent, ‘We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.’ And the serpent said unto the woman, ‘Ye shall not surely die’…”—Satan came directly against The Command of God! This is the way that Satan works: God will tell you what you should or should not do, and Satan will come behind God and try to make us understand why we should disobey God! Then look at what the serpent says in verse 5: “…‘For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.’” Now Satan is making an interpretation of God’s Command that would make it easy for Eve to disobey. “The Serpent never speaks when God is Present. He always waits until The Truth Teller is off the scene, or has left; then Satan does his work.” —Minister Louis Farrakhan ____ Reference(s): COLUMNS “Serpent” BY THE MOST HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD | LAST UPDATED: JUL 4, 2013 - 9:14:02 PM finalcall/artman/publish/Columns_4/article_10031.shtml The Lie and the Liar Are Being Exposed (Part 1) BY THE HONORABLE MINISTER LOUIS FARRAKHAN | LAST UPDATED: JUL 2, 2013 - 12:38:15 AM “The time and what must be done - 2013 Lecture Series, Pt. 25” finalcall/artman/publish/Minister_Louis_Farrakhan_9/article_10018.shtml The Lie and the Liar Are Being Exposed (Part 2) BY THE HONORABLE MINISTER LOUIS FARRAKHAN | LAST UPDATED: JUL 8, 2013 - 12:26:29 AM “The time and what must be done - 2013 Lecture Series, Pt 26” finalcall/artman/publish/Minister_Louis_Farrakhan_9/article_10050.shtml “Time Has Arrived That Allah Will Fulfill His Promise” BY THE MOST HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD | LAST UPDATED: JUL 6, 2010 - 9:22:29 AM finalcall/artman/publish/Columns_4/article_7105.shtml *Book reference: Message To The Blackman of America By the Honorable Elijah Muhammad store.finalcall/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BK-MTBM
