The Iniquities of the Jews
by Antarus
Now it seems fitting, before the memory of these matters grows dim, to set down an account of that Galilean teacher called Yahushua—whom the Greeks name Jesus—and of the conditions under which his ministry was conducted in Yahudah (Judea). For the times were not only burdened by the visible yoke of Rome, but also by a more intimate dominion exercised by certain parties among our own people, namely the Pharisees and the Sadducees, whose authority over custom, Temple, and conscience shaped the daily life of the nation.
I write not as an accuser of a people, but as a recorder of disputes within a people; for Yahushua himself was Yahudi (a Jew) by birth, by Law, and by prayer, and his quarrel was not with Israel, but with those who claimed to stand as its final interpreters.
The Romans ruled Judea with swords and taxes, yet they permitted the governance of sacred life to remain in Jewish hands. Thus the Pharisees became masters of the Law as it was lived in streets and homes, while the Sadducees held sway over the Temple, its sacrifices, and its revenues. Each party claimed fidelity to Moses, yet both benefited from arrangements that preserved their authority and placated the imperial peace.
In this way there arose what might be called an occupation from within: not foreign soldiers, but domestic rulers who mediated God to the people while securing their own place. The Pharisees multiplied interpretations, hedging the Law with traditions until obedience became a matter of technical mastery rather than justice or mercy. The Sadducees, denying the hope of resurrection, fastened holiness to the altar and its commerce, binding God’s favor to a system Rome found convenient to tolerate.
It was against this background that Yahushua spoke.
When Yahushua addressed certain of his opponents as “Jews,” he did not speak as a Gentile naming a foreign nation, nor as a hater condemning a race. Rather, he employed a term that had come to signify the ruling identity centered in Judea, the Temple, and its authorities. In the mouths of Galileans and provincials, “the Jews” often meant those who claimed custodianship of God while standing apart from the sufferings of the common people.
Thus the word marked not blood, but position; not covenant, but control.
To call them “Jews” in this sense was to accuse them of narrowing Israel into an institution, of confusing election with entitlement, and of mistaking guardianship of the Law for possession of God Himself. It was a prophetic usage, sharp and unsettling, akin to the ancient rebukes hurled by Amos or Jeremiah against priests and princes who said, “The Temple of the Lord,” while neglecting the poor.
Yet when Yahushua sent out those who followed him, he gave them no charge to denounce “the Jews” as a people, nor to overthrow customs by force. He instructed them instead to proclaim the nearness of God’s reign, to heal the sick, to restore the outcast, and to announce forgiveness apart from the courts of Temple and tradition.
This commission revealed the heart of his dispute. He did not seek to replace one ruling class with another, nor to found a rival sect contending for power. Rather, he loosened God from the grip of monopolies—legal, priestly, and political—and returned divine favor to villages, tables, and roadsides.
Where the Pharisees asked, “By what rule?” Yahushua asked, “By what love?”
Where the Sadducees asked, “By what sacrifice?” he asked, “By what mercy?”
Iniquity arises whenever sacred trust becomes self-protecting—and therefore in breach of its fiduciary duty to administer the trust estate for the benefit of the one for whose life such estate hath been granted. Yahushua’s fiercest words were reserved not for sinners, nor for Gentiles, nor even for Rome, but for those who claimed to see clearly while burdening others, who guarded doors they themselves would not enter.
In this, he stood firmly within Israel’s own prophetic tradition. He did not abandon the Law; he pressed it toward its weightier matters. He did not reject the covenant; he called it to account.
Thus, to understand his ministry, one must not imagine a conflict between Jesus and “the Jews” as a people, but rather a struggle within Yahudim (Judaism) itself—between a God confined to systems and a God who walks among the poor.
Such were the conditions in Yehudah (Judea) in those days, and such was the controversy that, though it began as an internal reckoning, would in time echo far beyond our land and our age.
Warring from Within
It is now useful to extend the former account beyond Judea and its parties, for the pattern disclosed there is not peculiar to one people or one age. Wherever a community defines itself by a sacred story—be it covenantal, constitutional, or ideological—there arises the danger that internal dispute will harden into mutual excommunication, and that rulers will mistake dissent for invasion.
In the days of Yahushua, the conflict that most endangered Judea did not originate with Rome, though Rome would later exploit it. Rather, it arose from rival claims to define what it meant to be faithful Israel. The Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes, the Zealots—each asserted a purer vision of the people’s calling, and each accused the others of betrayal.
What followed was a curious inversion: internal argument was spoken of as though it were foreign threat. Those who challenged the prevailing order were treated not as disputants within the Law, but as enemies of the Law itself.
Modern Parallels
In our own time, a similar rhetorical pattern has emerged, though clothed in secular language. Political movements on the far left and far right present themselves not merely as opponents within a shared civic framework, but as antithetical forces whose very existence threatens the nation’s survival. Thus antifa and neonazi become symbols larger than their actual numbers—mythic enemies invoked to justify extraordinary measures.
When a government declares that its departments of homeland defense and war must be turned inward—treating protesters as though they were foreign combatants—it reenacts an ancient mistake: confusing internal dissent with invasion. The language of war, once unleashed, rarely remains precise. It does not ask whether grievances are just or unjust, but only whether they are loyal or disloyal.
This mirrors the logic of the Judean authorities who accused Yahushua of threatening the nation. “If we let him go on,” they said, “the Romans will come.” In seeking to preserve order by suppressing prophetic disturbance, they hastened the very ruin they feared.
The far left and far right, like rival sects of old, often require one another for coherence. Each defines itself as the final barrier against the other’s imagined apocalypse. In this way, rhetoric escalates while reality contracts. The center empties, and complexity is treated as treachery.
So too in first-century Judea: the Pharisee needed the sinner to demonstrate righteousness; the Sadducee needed the threat of disorder to justify Temple control; the Zealot needed collaborators to validate revolt. All claimed to defend Israel, yet each narrowed Israel to their own reflection.
The gravest danger of “warring from within” is not that one faction will defeat another, but that the shared moral language dissolves altogether. Once fellow citizens are described as enemies of the people, the question of justice is replaced by the demand for submission.
Yahushua refused this logic. He neither joined the zeal of revolution nor endorsed the piety of preservation. Instead, he exposed the cost of internal warfare: that a nation can lose its soul while claiming to defend it.
His warning remains relevant. A society that mobilizes its instruments of war against its own unresolved arguments does not restore unity; it declares bankruptcy of imagination.
A Closing Reflection
History suggests that civilizations do not fall chiefly because of external pressure, but because internal disputes are framed as existential wars rather than shared reckonings. Judea learned this at great cost. Modern states would do well to remember it.
For when a people cease to argue as members of one body and begin to fight as if against foreigners, the walls may still stand—but the common life that gave them meaning has already been breached.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS COME, SEND GREETINGS AND PEACE:—
The Ecclesiastical Polity,
or, ‘Collegiate Government’,
of the New Testament Kingdom
Congregational Church de la Croix Noire
(a) The ‘Chamber of Instruction’ is within the Beth Midrash, and the ‘Hall of Assembly’ is within the Beth Knesset, and these are so many houses in the bicameral polity ‘body’ of the people assembled of the decentralized autonomous organization in that locality. The Knesset is the upper house and the Midrash is the lower house.
(b) The ‘New Testament Kingdom’ is a feudal trust relationship settled under Roman imperial law by God Himself, by and through his Vicar in Christ, Land Holder and Lord of the Earth Living Forever, by and through the Holy Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, and subsequently assigned, in part, to the Bishop of Rome at the Vatican City. The remainder of the birthright dominion of the people over the Kingdom of Earth is administered in trust for the benefit of all humanity by the anointed society of friends ministering in the following of the High Priest of Melchizedek, the Lamb, being as he is the King, living forever.
(c) It is, therefore, not for purely religious and dogmatic reasons, but for purely civil and legal reasons, that we invoke that name of the Trustee appointed by God Almighty to administer our trust which is known in our jurisdiction ‘nome’, being that of the Roman Empire, by and through its successors the kings of Europe, by and through their successors the republic of nations: KRST YHSVH — IESUS CHRISTUS — the King who will reign from Jerusalem.
(d) There is only one supreme Being ‘Entity’ who created Heaven and Earth of its own matter. All who are born of woman are beneficiaries of its creation, which continues forever. The body of the people of this Creator ‘the Church’ is one, holy, universal and apostolic, with KRST THE KING at its head.
(e) While visiting the Lieutenant Governor of New York after my great uncle’s funeral in Orange, New Jersey, I met with my very good friend Richard of Brooklyn, who told me that that day (yesterday), July 14th, was the real New Year’s Day, in which our ancestors observed the heliacal rising of Sirius and the inundation of Hapi.
(f) Frank Lloyd Wright is hereby canonized a Saint of God by the order of missionary oblates of the New Syllabus program for his efforts in defining a unique American-vernacular architecture. To this unique class belong the noble and worthy personages of Saint Nat Turner, Saint John Coltrane, and Saint Alice Coltrane.
(g) Systembilt Industries, IBCO, FLF-DAO, is hereby chartered as an entity of a religious nature dedicated to continue Saint Frank’s mission to produce sound, beautiful, and affordable housing for every American family by deploying American System-Built Homes around every Mission Fulfillment Center. Usonian Automatic blocks assembled into American System-Built Homes are a block-chain as Mindsoft consoles configured in a DAO fueled by Performance Cubed are a block-chain.
(h) The whole foregoing entity and being are hereby styled:
New Kingdom Congregational Meeting;
1st New Kingdom Congregational Church,
Congregation Beth Midrash Beth Knesset,
of the International Black Cross, FLF-DAO,
nondenominational interfaith ministry,
Antarah, ObNS, Friend presiding,
‘Head of Meeting‘
SECTION (h) DIRECTIVE [click to expand]
Floating the Mission by Sale of Labor on a Daily Basis
Occupation: Day Labor Trader
Lines of Labor Traded: instruction, meeting, investigation, worship, instruments, administration, guardian, custodian, building arts
‘Banking’ Hours: 10AM-3PM, 1st Day to Friday
(h)(1) These lines of service (LOS) are to be considered an extension of peace and good will between friends, the mutual appreciation of which will inure to their mutual benefit. By this is meant an offering, feoffment, or oblation of humanitarian aid, of which a tithe is paid to the Lord of the fee, MALIKI ZADDIK YHSVH XRST, which translates roughly to ‘Equitable Lord Jesus Christ’, the surety of our God-granted trust ‘birthright’. The balance of the charge shall be stored in its capacity and shall not be held for profit by a particular party, but therefrom discharged to the ground (‘the people’).
(h)(2) Therefore it is said regarding the Firm League of Friendship, “Faith is Complete Trust and Firm Belief” applied over a matter of time ‘f(x)=y’, which belief, sincerely held, cannot be converted into a crime. Trust refers to the covenant between God and humanity. Faith refers to the full confidence and mutual assurance exchanged between the parties in the trust relationship. Belief refers to the firmness of faith as held in the hearts and minds of the friends who practice it. This is the MAIN function of the Decentralized Autonomous Intelligence System (DAIS) of the CORPS of Mindsoft.
(h)(3) Toward developing and sustaining a ‘book of business’, service providers ‘servers’ shall make contact with prospective buyers ‘clients’ to whom to offer their services every morning between 8:00AM and 9:00AM, either in person ‘at market’ or via electronic communications. Such clients may or may not be friends, but servers should remain squarely within their equitable God-given sui jurisdiction when ‘trading with the enemy’. No originating sale of labor to be performed on the instant day shall take place after 3:00PM that day; sales consummated after such time shall be performed, fulfilled, and delivered on the next or another future day. Consols may be issued for redemption of future services without originating sales. An ideal contract engagement is one in which a friend-benefactor pays the day rate for the server to perform the mission obligations for the benefit of the friendly public.
American Systembilt Industries
(i) Systembilt Industries shall construct homes in the Wrightian ‘Usonian Automatic‘ vernacular, which is, by this outfit’s estimation, the precursor to the Brutalist vernacular, which is erroneously said to be founded in the United Kingdom in the 1950s, and has since been nearly exclusively devoted to federal government architecture. Whereas the Brutalist is an exaggeration of scale and mass in proportion to the softening panes glass — or a more forgiving human sensibility — the Usonian is intentionally designed for the consumption and appreciation of the human and their family — the American family at that — using a uniquely modular and horizontal American vernacular. Due to the modular and affordable nature of the prefabricated building materials which would be shipped ready-to-assemble to the buyer, Frank Lloyd Wright innovated the construction method AMERICAN SYSTEM-BUILT HOMES. Using the internationally conscious appellation of ‘Usonian’ for ‘United States of North America’ or ‘USONA’, Mr. Wright provides at the turn of the century a vision of USONIA in which every family can own a firm and beautiful AMERICAN HOME at a fixed and reasonable cost.
(j) The planned community of Usonian Automatic homes by Systembilt Industries shall comprise the network of private homes of Friends in the Firm League of Friendship of the decentralized autonomous and International Black Cross Organization. The cultural centers of these communities shall be planned around the Mission Fulfillment Centers which are the meeting tents of the congregation.

(5) Automatic Blocks
The textile block system — the root form of automatic blocks — is a unique structural building method created by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1920s. While the details changed over time, the basic concept involves patterned concrete blocks reinforced by steel rods, created by pouring concrete mixture into molds, thus enabling the repetition of form. The blocks are then stacked to build walls. Wright’s textile block houses are:
- Ennis House
- Robert and Rae Levin House (check also the other Michigan – Galesburg and Parkwin/Kalamazoo – houses at List of Frank Lloyd Wright works)
- Millard House
- Samuel Freeman House
- Storer House (Los Angeles)
- Westhope, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Wright’s only Textile Block house outside of California.[1]

Over a career spanning seven decades, Frank Lloyd Wright took special interest in creating architect-designed homes for moderate and low-income families. In the January 1938 issue of Architectural Forum, he commented, “[I] would rather solve the small house problem than build anything else I can think of…” Indeed, among Wright’s greatest masterpieces are several small homes designed for clients who could afford little. Many of these residences owe their existence to some form of client labor (do-it-yourself), ingenious cost-cutting or salvaging. Each magically shelters it occupants in beautiful spaces, connects them to nature, and allows them to feel more alive.
American System-Built Homes
In a 1901 speech entitled, “The Art and Craft of the Machine,” Wright outlined his vision of affordable housing. He asserted that the home would have to go to the factory, instead of the skilled labor coming to the building site. Between 1915 and 1917 Wright designed a series of standardized “system-built” homes, known today as the American System-Built Homes. By system-built, he did not mean pre-fabrication off-site, but rather a system that involved cutting the lumber and other materials in a mill or factory, then bringing them to the site for assembly. This system would save material waste and a substantial fraction of the wages paid to skilled tradesmen. Wright produced more than 900 working drawings and sketches of various designs for the system. Six examples were constructed, still standing, on West Burnham Street and Layton Boulevard in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Other examples were constructed on scattered sites throughout the Midwest with a few yet to be discovered.
Arthur L. Richards, Developer
By 1911, companies connected to Arthur L. Richards had engaged Frank Lloyd Wright to design several projects, including an unbuilt hotel in Madison and the Hotel Geneva in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (1912, demolished). By November 1916, Richards entered into an agreement with Wright to promote the American System-Built Homes. The contract covered all parts of the United States, Canada and Europe. It called for the Richards Company “…to furnish, as far as possible, all materials entering into the construction of the buildings and to at least furnish the plans, drawings, specifications and details and lumber, millwork, exterior plaster material, paints, stains, glazing, hardware trimmings and electric lighting fixtures for said buildings.” Richards was to recruit a distribution channel of builders and developers from around the country. He appears to have focused his efforts in the Chicago area and a few other Midwestern cities.
The agreement between Wright and Richards anticipated that the American System-Built Homes project would be wildly successful. Unfortunately, the entry of the United States into World War I on April 6, 1917, diverted building materials to wartime needs. Housing starts ground to a halt. Wright also began extensive travels between America and Japan at this time, related to the Imperial Hotel commission. Wright became unhappy with his relationship with Richards, leading to a lawsuit in August of 1917. Central to Wright’s claim was the non-payment of royalties and fees. Wright won a judgment against Richards in February of 1918. Although the business relationship ended after a few years, Wright and Richards rekindled their friendship decades later and exchanged cordial letters and visits.

Coalition Forces of the FLF-DAO
(a) La Croix Noire demonstrates for the natural order of universe (the Dao) and, by extension, peace, love, freedom, truth and justice/equity, which are dialectic (dualistic) expressions of the Dao. The Dao is not to be worshipped, as there is no one worthy of worship but God ﷲ who created the universe together with its proper functionality which is called the Dao.
(b) La Croix Noire practices its first amendment rights through non-action, or wu wei, in the Friends’ manner of waiting worship, wherein they await the coming of the kingdom, or of the second coming. In this manner the Organization is a non-violent movement. Any organization or member commissioned into the BCO must practice non-violence except in cases of self-defense.
(c) There are noncommissioned coalition organizations ‘NCOs’, such as the Anti-Fascist Organization and (arguably) the Proud Boys Organization (insofar as they demonstrate in protest of coercive government), that may be characterized by use of force. The decentralized autonomous organization ‘DAO’ of the people of the world have many coalition forces with different policies on the use of force.
(d) The BCO opposes coercive use of force in general, and to that extent is best characterized as Anarcho-Daoism; for the decentralized autonomous organization of the people is the materialization of the will of the Great Dao (Tao, ‘Way’) which is the most ubiquitous and lasting system, a most enigmatic and mystical force of nature.
(e) The sage is the exemplar of living in harmony with the Dao through the praxis of wu wei; the sage cultivates virtue within and spreads it outward through the branches of the human family. Thus the ‘authority’ of the sage is testimonial, not coercive; it is the exemplification of a living testimony of peace, simplicity, and integrity in the manner of Friends.
(f) Straight and narrow is the Daojiao ‘Way’. The ‘Way’ is like unto Islam, in that it is the only path to eternal life provided by the Creator, as attested to by the most sagacious and noble Rabbi Yahshuah ‘Jesus’ the Anointed ‘Christ’ of God, peace be upon him ‘PBUH’.
(g) By and through the covenant between humanity and the Lord God ﷲ, Creator of Heaven and Earth the Sea and all that therein is, and the counsel and redemption of the former by the life and blood sacrifice of our Comforter Prophet and Rabbi Yahshuah ‘Isa’ ‘Jesus’ the Christ PBUH, La Croix Noire and N∴S∴ shall demonstrate, discharge, and perform its obligation exclusively under the principles of equity jurisprudence, which is ‘grace/mercy/forgiveness at law’.

Mobilizing and Demobilizing the Office of Traveling Ministry
(a) The Office of Traveling Ministry ‘OTM’ of the Public Friend Antarah (also known as his ‘immediate office’) shall issue bills identifying certain products and services, in receipt of which goods the public shall appropriate funds upon presentment thereof. Otherwise stated, the public may order certain products and services from OTM by presenting these bills to Antarah. These bills shall bear a note upon their face, and these notes may be referred to as ‘vouchers for instruction’ in ‘LP’. […]
(b) In addition to DAIS, DISIS and PEACE Force, a CORPS ‘core’ function of the DOP OTM shall be vested in the hereby established Department of Mobilization and Demobilization ‘DMOB’, which shall mobilize ‘mob’ and demobilize ‘demob’ (a) notes into and out of circulation, (b) field operations of worship and instruction and (c) encampments. All such operations as conducted in the field are done on leave from the Saint Nat’s Temple Headquarters Complex ‘THC’ at Nacotchtank, Ouachita District, which acts as the ‘reservation’. Notes mobilized from reserve to camp are in turn mobilized into the public venue for acceptance and circulation, and are demobilized when such note is remitted, or ‘billed’, to the service provider with due appropriations, whereupon the obligation is performed and the note is redeemed.
(c) “Into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house” (Luke 10:5). “The laborer is worthy of his hire” (Luke 10:7). “Say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you” (Luke 10:9). Thus it is said, the traveling minister shall bring peace wherever he goeth, shall duly discharge his office in receipt of appropriate fees, and shall proclaim the coming of the Lord.
(d) Few understand the foundation upon which N∴S∴ is built, which is the same as that on which is built the Temple, the Temple Bar, the Temple House, the Lodge, and the Fed, namely, the secret knowledge of ‘scribes’ and their sacred ‘scriptures’. While the Grantor issues notes of perceived value, the draft of the note/payment of the bill/redemption of the bond does not materially damage the Grantor and yet accordingly satisfies the obligation. The camp shall not hold more than 10% of the notes held in the reserve. N∴S∴ will profit if it can drive the broad and general circulation of its notes. In this way notes are like advertisements for services like dollars are advertisements for the government’s (people’s) good faith and credit. We know that the value lies not in the faith and credit itself but in the human tendering the instrument to discharge their debt, which instrument is only acquired by and through expending labor/time which is the actual unit of value. Similarly, a certain transaction with the ‘system clearinghouse’ is necessary for a note holder to redeem the value of the note (in our case, in intelligence).
(e) TERMS:
- Adjudgment = the practice of carrying out the functions of a judge, i.e. an officer of the local assembly (knesset).
- Bus = a utilitarian gas vehicle.
- Camp = the establishment of an encampment via the pitching of tent(s) or occupation of time and space or a similar method.
- Clothing = mud cloth, djellaba, cape, kefiyea, tallit, vest.
- Demobilize = to decommission and/or remove materiel, personnel, papers, etc. from use or circulation.
- Horse = light electric vehicle.
- Local (also, Moorings) = the place where an encampment is made.
- Mission = to travel through a friendly or foreign land and/or to administer products and services therein.
- Mobilize = to commission and/or deploy materiel, personnel, papers, etc.
- Notes = slips of paper used to issue bills.
- Policy = Liber Praeceptum ‘LP’ (BLKMKT, 2024).
- Program = the regular course of business, being the standing unprogrammed meeting for worship, with leave from THC to make appointments for instruction.
- Project = the regular praxis of the program.
- Furniture = (a) cot/mat, (b) prayer/yoga mat, (c) folding desk chair, (d) lectern, (e) suitcase containing cape, vest, etc., (f) briefcase containing coverings, flag, gavel, LP, RRO, NT, USC, notes, etc., (g) preparedness bag.
- Testimony = a regular or daily practice for living out one’s principles (e.g. Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equity, Stewardship).
- Traveling = (a) to depart or take leave from one’s home, dwelling place, or reservation and sojourn through land and sea; (b) to make an abode in the nomadic Meeting Tent.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS COME, SEND GREETINGS AND PEACE:—
Decentralized Autonomous Intelligence System Engineering Enterprise (DAISEE)
(a) Liber Præceptum ‘LP’ is a set of integrated electronic circuits on a flat surface or series thereof ‘chip’ that is encoded with the self-teaching, self-executing autonomous script. This chip powers, or drives the functionality of, the human mind software ‘mindsoft’ central processing unit ‘CPU’ via the Curricular Operations Research and Publication Service (CORPS) ‘core’ of NOVUS SYLLABUS ‘NS’ decentralized servers.
(b) Such chip must be installed, connected, or administered to the nodes of the decentralized autonomous organization ‘DAO’ by the Administrator ‘admin’ of the System (i.e. the application of integrated automated systemtheory in praxis).
(c) The mindsoft is located in the C:\ drive of the human body CAMIOR hardware which receives the central nervous system ‘CNS’ input ‘I’.
(d) The admin may administer the Universitas Autodidactus ‘UA’ databus ‘book’ containing the chip to a vast array of hardware, from the individual node or ‘bit’ to the assembly or body politic.
(e) DAISEE (pronounced ‘Daisy’) is the ‘DAIS’, or lectern, of the DAO. Otherwise stated, the theory of the UA, or Universitas Autodidactus, is the decentralized autonomous organization in practice. A DAISEE-chain of mindsoft-configured nodes organized such as to comprise an integrated system is comparable to a blockchain.
(f) This enterprise is the second project to be managed, or administered, by the Department of Peace and Friendship ‘DOP’, following the Peace Enforcement Activity Command Enterprise ‘PEACE Force’.
(g) LP is a large language model dataset for the autonomous intelligence self-learning, self-executing engine of the DAO.
