v.26.01.13.19.35
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.

A Dwelling for the Holy Spirit
by Dr. Dams Up Water
A dwelling is never just a structure. It is an argument about what matters.
When IBé Crawley began constructing dwellings in the style of southern shotgun houses in 2013, she was not merely reviving an architectural form; she was invoking a lineage. The shotgun house—linear, efficient, intimate—has long been associated with Black Southern life, with survival under constraint, with the sacred choreography of moving forward because there is nowhere else to go. Crawley’s early dwellings, followed by the studio addition to her own residence that same year, functioned as both shelter and proposition: that art-making, living, and spirit need not be separated by walls thicker than necessity.
By 2016, when she built a standalone studio at the rear of her investment property, the pattern had become clear. Crawley’s architecture was iterative, devotional. Each structure refined a question she had been asking since her departure from the Pentecostal church of her upbringing: Where does the Holy Spirit live, once it is no longer confined to sanctioned doctrine?
Her separation from Pentecostalism was not a rejection of spirit but a relocation of it. In turning toward an African-centered religious practice, Crawley aligned belief with ancestry, ritual with memory, and space with intention. The buildings followed. They were not churches, but they were not secular. They were working spaces—sites of making—that acknowledged the presence of something more than the maker.
The acquisition of a historic 1830 building in 2021 marked another turn. To practice her craft inside a structure that had already lived multiple lives was to enter into conversation with time itself. Historic buildings are never neutral; they carry residue. Crawley’s presence within such a space suggests a theology of repair rather than erasure—of inhabiting history without submitting to it.
What is striking is how this spatial theology extended generationally.
Her son, Antarah Crawley, grew up within these constructed philosophies. It is therefore no surprise that he, too, built a dwelling—though his took the form of a temple. Hand-built of concrete masonry units behind the studio in historic Anacostia, the structure is materially heavier than his mother’s shotgun-inspired works. Concrete block does not glide; it anchors. It insists.
Antarah’s religious path diverged as well. Developing faith in the Most High God, he dedicated the temple in part to his stillborn daughter, Ala. In this act, the building becomes more than a place of worship; it becomes a vessel for grief, remembrance, and continuity. Where life could not dwell, meaning would. The temple stands not as a monument to loss, but as a refusal to let absence be the final word.
Together, these acts—mother and son, studio and temple—suggest that the Holy Spirit is not housed by institution but invited by intention. It arrives where hands work honestly, where memory is honored, where loss is spoken aloud and given form. The Spirit, in this telling, is architectural. It requires framing. It asks for care.
In a time when housing is treated as commodity and faith as brand, the Crawleys offer another model: dwelling as devotion. Their buildings do not preach. They listen. And in that listening, they make room—for art, for ancestry, for the dead, for the unborn, and for the living breath that moves quietly among concrete blocks and narrow halls.
A dwelling for the Holy Spirit, then, is not a finished structure. It is an ongoing practice.

full disclosure cont’d.
like harry potter and jesus christ, the coming of some souls into the body is a sign of great concern to certain authorities and principalities governing this world. of course it is true without doubt that Yahuah (YHVH) is the Most High God and Creator of Heaven and Earth the Sea and all that therein is. and it is known, also, to those of the ancient Yahudist mystery shul of Knowledge Wisdom and Understanding (Chockmah-Binah-Daath or CHABAD) that certain principalities have been granted governance over this lower “Kingdom” of earth pending the (2nd?) coming of Moshiach.
now it is know to Chabad-Lubavich of Crown Heights, at least, that at least some of these principalities are gay, some are r*apists, some are p*dophiles, and others a combination of these traits. the ancient israelites (who, to be sure, were coppercolored hebrews and not ashkenazim) expressly worshiped such an entity, which demanded they sacrifice certain of their newborns into fire. the Most High God Yahuah, in his infinite wisdom, advised us not to do that, as it is an abomination. His admonitions notwithstanding, we continue to sacrifice our children in the womb and in hospitals in furtherance of Ba’alific ideologies advanced by the deeply compromised deep state as liberal leftism. i myself confess to agreeing to dispose of such a life in such a manner when i was but nineteen or twenty years old. my mother had told me, as a black man, not to bear children out of wedlock, and my parter was deeply concerned for her future, as she was raised the daughter of a single mother.
but back to the birth and marking of children for the work of the Lord (YHVH), the entity made known to me as the “Magic Girl” seeks to corrupt these children specifically. like Lord Voldemort sought out Harry Potter, and King Herod did Baby Jesus, so do these spirits seek to molest the body and mind of certain children. i myself was an avid reader of harry potter as a youth — possibly it predisposed me to madness like my religious aunts believed (and their belief was later vindicated by great tragedy), but it may also have been a glimpse into the reality that surrounded me of which was not presently aware. praise be to the Most High God for his foresight in preparing me to address these matters.
furthermore I thank the Lord for not delivering me wholly into the apostate and reprobate condition of homosexuality caused by childhood trauma. my experiences with the “Magic Girl” were not so “perfected” so as to cause me to adopt the identity of “magic girlhood.” i make this point because i have come to know men who, at me age, have come to regret the “perfection” of their queer identity in the manner in which it was perfected. and by “perfect” I mean in the legal sense of “perfecting a security interest” in the body or mind of a living person by an incorporeal entity.
i clapped, saying to myself “this is good. we are really getting somewhere.”
now i’m going to briefly continue on the topic of the childhood encounters, and conclude with the differing nature “Magic Girl” expressed as a male and as a female in context to myself. when i was in grade school, until high school, I had very few friends. i developed two close friends as we matriculated to high school, and i maintained a close friendship with one which continues even now. that he was a shaggy-haired emo white boy did not seem to me to be a significant fact. however, it was the case that I was regularly ostracized in my childhood for being (1) particularly dark-skinned and (2) “white” by cultural expression. furthermore, i will confess that I envied his ability to attract women, a quality that I felt myself wanting in light of the aforementioned remarks made to me by black girls and boys.
when i entered college at an early age, i developed another close friendship with a “shaggy-haired emo white boy.” one night we went to a party where i met a certain white woman with whom he was familiar. the night progressed into my first sexual experience, with that girl, while at the same time that deplorable spirit from my youth was present and involved. i do not fault my friend, nor the woman, because we all thought we were having a good time. but like jesus says, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
i continued to engage with the white woman for some time, but eventually my body stopped responding to her. she was legally or otherwise seriously involved with somebody else, while at the same time being the “muse” for the English department… that is relevant because later in my life i attempted to procreate with a woman who i knew was likewise legally disposed — thus making my actions adulterous. i will not at this time conjecture whether our stillbirth was a divine intervention based on these facts.
well, i believe i’ve come to the end of this entry. i want to draw out the fact that the “Magic Girl” also operated in my life through multiple white women. for instance, around the same time as aforementioned, i was friends with some very cool white girls. after i first had sex, i was again met with a proposition of sorts from a white woman who asked me on evening while were were watching something in the dorm room, “why haven’t you tried to have sex with me?” i replied with as much information as i had at the time, saying, “i don’t know.” so then that woman and I continued a sexual relationship which has eventually given way to scorn, and she is now very fat. i will not at this time discuss the most recent white woman who I dated, who was also fairly robust.

[bulla] General Theory of Action (GTA)
General Theory of Action,
Admiral, Ecclesiastical, Civil & Common; and Method of Animating a Corpus; or, ‘The Great Work’
(a) Grand Rite
- How is assessment, assault, or battery effected?
- By one charging their body toward another.
- Therefore if a body is charged, then it is made liable for its actions,
- Where its actions are commissioned or committed by the motion of the body in question.
- Therefore hear ye the matter in question to find out its solution,
- Wherefore a jury shall have standing to constitute a sitting for the purpose of duly determining such resolution in a motion to adjust the account of the body in question.
- One must have standing to have sitting to determine a matter in question:
- One must have ius decire to assidere in assizes;
- One must voir et dire to oyer et terminer;
- And assemble when so summoned at the place of ius venire.
- A body is res (matter) that is moved by the spiritus (breath).
- The breath moves the body, while the blood enlivens of the body.
- To circulate a current drawn from a pool drawn from the sea.
(b) Grand Jury
- Ride circuit; patrol district;
- Docket matters (x): issue bond (instrument binding one to pay a sum to another, the sum in general being attention);
- Voir et Dire (see and say) to examine, try, and find suitability;
- Enlist a pool (venire) of jurists (iure); issue note (instrument promising payment);
- Summon iure from pool;
- Assemble the iure pool;
- Impanel the iure;
- Oyer et Terminer (hear and determine) the facts; publish evidence; witness testimony;
- Move body to render a verdict (y): issue no/true bill (instrument drafting, ordering, or otherwise charging payment).
(c) Jury Venire
Venire is “to come,” as for the purpose of an action, with respect to the venue thereof, which is here styled:
UNIVERSITAS AUTODIDACTUS
COLLEGIUM ECCLESIASTICAE
ORDO TEMPLI ET OBLATI NOVUS SYLLABUS SECLORUM EX OFFICIO TRIBUNUS ANTARUS SUI IURIS ET PROXIMUS AMICUS IN RE SPIRITUS ET NOMINE XRISTI
Friendly Society, a branch office of the Catholic Church
(d) Autonomous Clearing and Counterparty Services
- Forms of payment (or exchange) other than attention include, but are not limited to, one’s own personal recognizance (note), labor and the fruits thereof, real property and instruments secured thereby, and the blood sacrifice of our Lord and Savior.
- Tithes, or giving of thanks offerings, are not a form of payment.
- Bondholders have a creditor stake in a body or entity; they are the one to whom payment is made.
- Bonds usually have a defined term, or maturity, after which the bond is redeemed.
- In general, faith is the premium paid to the Savior for the redemption of the bond represented in God’s grant, or credit, of life (blood, breath) to their body, a debtor. By and through this payment, a trust is established wherein the Savior has laid down His own life for ours. Without this policy of utmost assurance and indemnification (which is offered to us by the Grace and Mercy of the Lord our God), the bond on our life reverts to the worldly Babylonian government of Satan, to whom we would otherwise be bound to pay. Ergo, there must be a surety to redeem the “baby loan.”
(e) Production
(1) Action takes place on a stage. A stage for sport is a court. All players are due their wages, unless they freely volunteer.
(2) This office shall docket auditions for the performance. The (members of the) Church itself shall be the director of photography, using their own personal devices; the members shall broadcast in real time the production to the network.
(3) This drama is written by Yahushuah; the plot is to gather the lost sheep before the last day and to sail/float/settle the policy of assurance. The drama is not written on paper; it is written in the heart by the Living Word and lived out in the world, which is a stage. Those who are not of our studio, or of the Company thereof, are of the world.
(4) All properties within the trust of the church [‘company’] are legally owned by the trustees thereof for the benefit of the beneficiaries thereof, by grant of the Most High God YHVH. The trustees of the church benefit from the “corporate shield” of the whole Church, that is, the Society of our Lord and Savior, in contradistinction to any denomination or manmade body-corporate thereof.
(5) Pro forma script for self-defense
COMES NOW I, [Christian Name], Sui Iuris, in propria persona, by special appearance, and on behalf of the Church of the Christ of the Most High God YHVH as proximus amicus, and to MOVE THE COURT [TO DISMISS, etc.] the above styled matter for [lack of personal/subject matter jurisdiction], under [the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America] and the law of the Land as represented in the holy scriptures. I am a child of the Most High God YHVH, and heir to His estate; I invoke the assurance of redemption and the wise counsel of our Lord and Savior YHUSHAI to assist me in this endeavor, and I reserve all my rights without prejudice. The [matter/charges/etc.] herein alleged are hereby accepted for value and returned from whence they came; there is on my part no liability in this [matter/charge/etc.]; wherefore I pray, move and order this court to [dismiss/abate/abrogate/adjust/etc.] the above-styled matter, In Nomine Xristi, Amen.

(f) SOLICITATION OF ONE’S HAND IN MATRIMONY
After the example set forth by our Lord and Savior who has received the Church unto himself in heavenly matrimony, will you [Christian Name] enter into holy matrimony with me?
Solicitor-Bridegroom
A proposal to enter into a matrimonial contact is a “solicitation”. Copulation outside of such a contract is not per se unethical, but the solicitation of sex is a transgression.

‘Friends bearing witness to Good News and Wise Counsel’
(a) I, Antarah, shall not put on airs of pretense and exalt myself with honorific titles. My birthright is derived from the substance of my human soul and my knowledge of my God my Father. In the likeness of the One begotten of the Father, I’m sworn only to uphold the friendship, like that which Abraham had, with YHVH, and to bear witness that he is the only god worthy of worship, for he has paid a ransom for our everlasting freedom, the policy of which, being offered, is our choice to accept.
(b) My immediate office is an autonomous modular unit that may be integrated into or applied to the development and/or operations of any existing operating system or syndicate. My office provides content, services, and pooled resources based out of a safe and secure storage and clearing house, a house of watchmen, a house of studies. This enterprise is a prophetic company in contradistinction to a profitable company; it is engaged in the business of evangelizing in the apostolic order commissioned by our Sovereign Lord the Messiah. Therefore vouchsafe not your earthly wares with saturnian life storage companies, but rather entrust your earthly burdens for safekeeping, clearing, and relief with our liberation theology-based firm.
(c) JURISDICTIONAL STANDING: (1) We bear witness that the Lord YHSVH of Nazareth is the Sovereign of the earth, anointed by YHVH, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that therein is, and the Savior-Redeemer of the faithful believers who have accepted His blood sacrifice for their eternal salvation, being made one body politic under Heaven. By and through the acceptance of this trust, such a believer becomes as a child and heir to the Kingdom of God. (2) Neither our Lord nor His Bride the Church can maintain a suit on their own behalf (neither can they own property), as neither is subject to the common law of nations, but rather to the universal law of equity of the Most High God YHVH. (3) All acts carried out or witnessed by one in their capacity as the next friend of their Sovereign Lord are done pursuant to their sincerely held religious belief, whereas there is no hierarchy within the decentralized autonomous organization of believers of the world, each next friend witnesses and ministers in their own sui jurisdiction in the nature of an autonomous church sui iuris.

Course 15:
One Holy Universal Apostolic Church
Module A
In light of Course 13, you might ask how can a muslim also promote the study of the doctrine of the Roman Church. It is quite simple, and the sublime effect of such meditation is most evident in the musical selection which commands the central portion of the video below. Let me first acknowledge that according to the Noble Quran, God’s prophet ‘Isa (Jesus) PBUH, son of Mary and Joseph, was not crucified, but was saved by God before being delivered to the mob. Furthermore, as was definitively proven by Ms. Kulic in her essay, Jesus was a Jew who preached Islam and prayed in the manner of Muhammad PBUH, and never advised his followers to believe in or worship a trinity (tripartite godhead) which included himself.
Nevertheless, following a tragedy which I experienced a few months prior, I was watching the Solemn Mass of Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord of April 9, 2023, broadcast from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (near which I lived in Brookland at the time) and in the ancient ritual and the stirring, sacred music, my heart was deeply moved. Through this understanding I have come to appreciate the profound interfaith, interdenominational inspiration of the Holy Ghost of the Lord God of Abraham (Allah).
In the beginning we hear His Eminence, Wilton Cardinal Gregory, Archbishop of Washington, deliver the Introductory Rites, of which the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has this to say:
The Mass begins with the entrance chant/song. The celebrant and other ministers enter in procession and reverence the altar with a bow and/or a kiss. The altar is a symbol of Christ at the heart of the assembly and so deserves this special reverence.
All make the Sign of the Cross and the celebrant extends a greeting to the gathered people in words taken from Scripture.
The Penitential Act follows the greeting. At the very beginning of the Mass, the faithful recall their sins and place their trust in God's abiding mercy. The Penitential Act includes the Kyrie Eleison, a Greek phrase meaning, "Lord, have mercy." This litany recalls God's merciful actions throughout history. On Sundays, especially in Easter Time, in place of the customary Penitential Act, from time to time the blessing and sprinkling of water to recall Baptism may take place.
On Sundays, solemnities, and feasts, the Gloria follows the Penitential Act. The Gloria begins by echoing the proclamation of the angels at the birth of Christ: "Glory to God in the highest!" In this ancient hymn, the gathered assembly joins the heavenly choirs in offering praise and adoration to the Father and Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
The Introductory Rites conclude with an opening prayer, called the Collect. The celebrant invites the gathered assembly to pray and, after a brief silence, proclaims the prayer of the day. The Collect gathers the prayers of all into one and disposes all to hear the Word of God in the context of the celebration.
It has long been a pillar of Novus Syllabus Seclorum, through its Interfaith Religious Service (Title 24:\>N.S.C.\Vol. II\Title 7, pg. 59) that no matter your particular doctrine or tradition, I believe we can all give praise to and glorify the Most High God (Allah), Creator of the Universe and Ruler on the Day of Judgment.
Penitential Act
Assembly: I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary, ever-virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Celebrant: May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.
Assembly: Amen.
Kyrie
Kyrie eléison (Κύριε, ἐλέησον)
Lord, have mercy
Christe eléison (Χριστέ, ἐλέησον)
Christ, have mercy
Gloria in excelsis Deo
| Glória in excélsis Deo et in terra pax homínibus bonæ voluntátis. Laudámus te, benedícimus te, adorámus te, glorificámus te, grátias ágimus tibi propter magnam glóriam tuam, Dómine Deus, Rex cæléstis, Deus Pater omnípotens. Dómine Fili Unigénite, Iesu Christe, Dómine Deus, Agnus Dei, Fílius Patris, qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére nobis; qui tollis peccáta mundi, súscipe deprecatiónem nostram. Qui sedes ad déxteram Patris, miserére nobis. Quóniam tu solus Sanctus, tu solus Dóminus, tu solus Altíssimus, Iesu Christe, cum Sancto Spíritu: in glória Dei Patris. Amen. [12] | Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of The Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. |

U.S. gearing up, world teeters on brink of WWIII
Many nations face ‘existential threat’, religiously-motivated ‘slaughter’ and a ‘battle against evil’ says Congress
by Antarah Crawley | Last Modified 2/7/2024 at 11:03 A.M.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, 6 February 2024, The United Stated House of Representatives (House) Foreign Affairs Committee convened a Markup on Various Measures. Mr. McCaul (R) of Texas presided as Chairman. Ms. Manning (D) of North Carolina presided as the Ranking Member until Mr. Meeks (D) of New York arrived, his flight being delayed. Mr. Crawley (AM) of United Scribes and Court Reporters United reported on the proceeding on behalf of the House Clerk’s Office of Official Reporters.
The sense of the Congress concerned ongoing U.S. statecraft against what Members characterize as a modern Axis of Evil comprised of Russia, China, Iran (Persia), and its alleged proxies including the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) of Palestine, The Party of Allah (Hezbollah or Hizballah) of Lebanon, The Supporters of God (Ansar Allah or Houthi) of Yemen, and The Students or Seekers (Taliban) of the Islamic Schools (Madaris) of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, among others. Meanwhile, the Representatives continued to emphasize their support for their allies, particularly Israel, Ukraine, and Christian populations across the world. This whole ordeal smacks of the Christian Crusades of the Middle Ages, to wit:
The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes directed by the Christian Latin Church in the medieval period. The best known of these military expeditions are those to the Holy Land in the period between 1095 and 1291 that were intended to reconquer Jerusalem and its surrounding area from Muslim rule. Beginning with the First Crusade, which resulted in the conquest of Jerusalem in 1099, dozens of military campaigns were organised, providing a focal point of European history for centuries. Crusading declined rapidly after the 15th century.

During the discussion of H.R. 6609, To Amend the Arms Export Control Act to increase the dollar amount thresholds under sections 3 and 36 of that Act relating to proposed transfers or sales of defense articles or services under that Act, and for other purposes, Members of Congress intimated toward abrogating the Constitution of the United States of America to create an authoritarian (read “executive”) dictatorship with a rubber-stamp (read “supreme”) court.
Ms. Titus (D) of Nevada remarked:
At a time when U.S. weapons sales are reaching record levels, for some reason the Republicans on this Committee have decided that instead of needing more oversight of arms sales, Congress should surrender its already emaciated role and conduct even less oversight. We in Congress and particularly on this committee have a critical role to play in matters of war and peace, and yet this bill is another example of the steady erosion of legislative oversight. This time, however, it’s self-inflicted.
Dina Titus (D-NV)
[…]
This bill will […] prevent Congressional scrutiny on defense side deals that may be used to evade anti-bribery laws or how this would complicate reviews of U.S. defense companies’ political contributions to foreign policies. […] For the Republicans on this Committee to hold a hearing this past September entitled ‘Reclaiming Congress’s Article 1 Powers’ to now surrender those powers in this markup seems to me totally contradictory and hypocritical and a bit on the nose.
Mr. Davidson (R) of Ohio remarked:
Frankly, since all we seem to do it cut the checks and provide no check on executive authority, particularly when it comes to war-making or spying on our citizens, why not just go ahead and dissolve Article 1. [The Chairman giggled to himself, his microphone on.] We could amend the constitution and simply have a chief executive who could be very efficient.
Mr. Mills (R) of Florida remarked:
If we want to talk about abdications, for God’s sake, let’s start talking about how we can repeal the AUMF which is an abdication of Article 1 Section 8 Clause 11 or even the ’73 War Powers Act that gives executive credence to Republican and Democratic presidents alike to do carte blanche warfare. The reality is […] we have mechanisms in place already and I think that continuing to try and over-regulate, which we say that we want limited government, we want fewer taxes in the Republican party, perhaps we should start acting that way.
The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (Pub. L. 107–40, 115 Stat. 224) is a joint resolution of the United States Congress which became law on September 18, 2001, authorizing the use of the United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the September 11 attacks. The authorization granted the President the authority to use all “necessary and appropriate force” against those whom he determined “planned, authorized, committed or aided” the September 11 attacks, or who harbored said persons or groups.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_of_2001
[…]
The 2001 AUMF has enabled the US President to unilaterally launch military operations across the world without any congressional oversight or transparency for more than two decades. Between 2018-20 alone, US forces initiated what it labelled “counter-terror” activities in 85 countries. Of these, the 2001 AUMF has been used to launch classified military campaigns in at least 22 countries.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution, sometimes referred to as the War Powers Clause, vests in the Congress the power to declare war, in the following wording:
“[The Congress shall have Power …] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water …”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Clause
During discussion of H.R. 7089, To authorize the Diplomatic Security Services of the Department of State to investigate allegations of violations of conduct constituting offenses under chapter 77 of title 18, United States Code, and for other purposes, bill sponsor Mr. James (R) of Michigan preached the word of God, saying:
Human trafficking must be eradicated everywhere. Modern day slavery is a major stain on humanity and decency. It is a sin. […] According to the State Department, ‘there are about 27.6 million victims worldwide at any given time.’ […] God’s will is clear. Luke 4:18 and 19 says ‘The spirit of the LORD is upon [me] because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind. To set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor.’ We have a duty to all, particularly those being trafficked into slavery. My bill empowers our law enforcement to liberate the oppressed and the captive, and I beseech my colleagues to support my bill.
John James (R-MI)
During discussion of H.Con.Res. 27, Condemning Russia’s unjust and arbitrary detention of Russian opposition leader Vladimir Kara-Murza who has stood up in defense of democracy, the rule of law, and free and fair elections in Russia, Ms. Manning (D) of North Carolina remarked:
Mr. Meeks and I […] must implore that we find a way to support Ukraine and their existential fight for freedom in their hour of need. Failing to support Ukraine, failing to act now, serves the Kremlin, serves Beijing, and hurts our standing in the world, our national security, and our collective prosperous and peaceful future.
Kathy Manning (D-NC)
During a discussion of H.Res.82, Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the need to designate Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for engaging in and tolerating systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, the need to appoint a Special Envoy for Nigeria and the Lake Chad region, and for other purposes, Mr. Smith (R) of New Jersey remarked:
Genocide Watch has called Nigeria a killing field of defenseless Christians. Open Doors reporter that there were 5,014 Christians murdered in 2022, nearly 90% of the total number of Christians killed worldwide. And Vatican News reported that over 52,250 Christians were slaughtered in Nigeria since 2009. I am convinced there is more the US can do to protect these believers, and that goes for Muslims as well and promote freedom of religion.
Chris Smith (R-NJ)
[…]
Pastor Alika Yusuf […] has talked about how in the Middle Belt region of Nigeria [Christians] face violence and are being slaughtered — this is his words — because of our religion. This bill is very important […] It will serve as legislation to hold our government … [the Nigerian government] … accountable for the millions of lives facing existential threat from the extremists.
The Democratic bloc opposed the resolution. Besides Mr. Smith, Mr. Self, Mr. Perry, and the Chairman, all Republicans vacated the hearing room during discussion of this matter. Present in the audience were Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe of the Diocese of Makurdi and Pastor Akila Yusuf representing a network of 200 pastors and leaders.
Mr. Smith later remarked that he’d “met with the Islamic leaders; they’re amazing people. They get along, they’re friends — like so many other moderate muslims in Nigeria — with the bishops and the clergy that are here today, and others. It is this radicalized group, whether it be ISIS-West Africa, whether it be Boko Haram, or the Fulani. You know, the Fulani have now become a major — in the Middle Belt area — a major major killer of Christians.” Mr. Smith closed his remarks by emphasizing his “outrage” toward the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
Mr. Self (R) of Texas remarked:
The [Biden] Administration is not that interested in Nigeria. […] The Administration has turned a blind eye to the crisis. The State Department inexplicably removed Nigeria from its special watch list as a country of particular concern in 2021 […] The State Department needs to reverse their course and pressure the government of Nigeria to end the persecution of Christians, regardless of who is doing the persecution.
Mr. Connolly (D) of Virginia remarked that “if we [the Congress] are concerned about the violation of human rights and the right of human autonomy and freedom, and we should be, that has to be consistent. It can’t simply be one group but not anther. And I thank my friend and I hope his outrage will extend to other groups that need our consideration and protection.”
Mr. Perry (R) of Pennsylvania remarked that “the current Secretary of State under the Biden Administration stated in his first few months that this administration does not plan to prioritize religious freedom.”
The Committee discussed America’s commitment to the Pacific Theater in its discussion of H.R. 7159, To bolster United States engagement with the Pacific Islands region, and for other purposes. Mrs. Radewagen (R) of American Samoa remarked that “the U.S. is a pacific island nation.” The Ranking Member Mr. Meeks stated that H.R. 7159 strengthens U.S. “engagement with Pacific Islands by requiring future administrations to develop and update a strategy for U.S. engagement in the region.”
In its discussion of H.R. 6046, To designate Ansarallah as a foreign terrorist organization and impose certain sanctions on Ansarallah, and for other purposes, the Committee discussed the Houthi’s operations in the Red Sea.
The Houthi movement (Arabic: الحوثيون al-Ḥūthiyūn), officially known as Ansar Allah[a] (أنصار الله ʾAnṣār Allāh, lit. ’Supporters of God’), is a Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s. It is predominantly made up of Zaidi Shias, with their namesake leadership being drawn largely from the Houthi tribe.
Wikipedia
The Chairman remarked that “since October 7th, the Houthis have launched over 40 attacks on U.S. war ships and commercial ships in the Red Sea. These attacks have threatened a wide array of regional security and international shipping interests. Crews have been taken hostage, ships have faced near misses, and our American sailors have been working overtime to protect and defend America’s interests in the Red Sea. International shipping companies have been forced to reroute their ships, disrupting the global supply chain and driving up shipping costs by 450%. This is negatively impacting supply chains and the global economy.” He went on to mention that “Iran is providing the Houthis an arsenal of weapons, and while Iran was building a Houthi proxy army, this Administration say idly by pursuing a policy of appeasement.”
Mr. Perry remarked:
Let’s just go through what Iran is. The Houthis are just a proxy for Iran like many other proxies for Iran. Iran’s got proxies in Gaza, they’ve got proxies in Lebanon, they’ve got proxies in Syria — the whole neighborhood, doing Iran’s bidding. But I will tell you […] the Biden Administration in particular is so desperate for a nuclear deal with Iran that they are on both sides of this war, and they are on both sides of this war […] Just follow the facts yourself. I mean, being on both sides of the war goes like this: we’re going to approve aid to some of our allies in the Middle East to fight the Iranian proxies […] at the very same time we’re going to allow Iran to receive billions, maybe hundreds of billions of dollars, either directly from the United States or from sanctioned money around the globe that has been unavailable to them because of their malign activities […and] they supply missiles to Hezbollah, they supply all kinds of armament to Hamas, and they do everything they can to kill the Great Satan and the people that represent the Great Satan, the poor service members caught in the middle of being on both sides of the war; and three of them just lost their lives because they’re on both sides of the war.
Scott Perry (R-PA)
By way of background:
Iran, also known as Persia and officially the Islamic Republic of Iran,[c] is a country in West Asia.
Wikipedia
[…]
Iran is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the Elamite kingdoms in the fourth millennium BC. It was first unified by the Medes in the seventh century BC and reached its territorial height in the sixth century BC, when Cyrus the Great founded the Achaemenid Empire. Alexander the Great conquered the empire in the fourth century BC, and it was subsequently divided into several Hellenistic states. An Iranian rebellion established the Parthian Empire in the third century BC, which was succeeded in the third century AD by the Sasanian Empire. Arab Muslims conquered the empire in the seventh century AD, leading to its Islamization; Iran thereafter became a major center of Islamic culture and learning. Over the next two centuries, a series of native Iranian Muslim dynasties emerged before the Seljuk and the Mongols conquered the region. In the 16th century, the native Safavids re-established a unified Iranian state. Under the reign of Nader Shah in the 18th century, Iran presided over the most powerful military in the world, though by the 19th century, a series of conflicts with the Russian Empire led to significant territorial losses. The early 20th century saw the Persian Constitutional Revolution. Efforts to nationalise its fossil fuel supply led to an Anglo-American coup in 1953. After the Iranian Revolution, the current Islamic republic was established in 1979 by Ruhollah Khomeini, who became the country’s first supreme leader.
Mr. McCormick (R) of Georgia remarked:
This is a constant pattern with the Biden Administration, whether at the border, with the cartels, in Gaza, with Hamas, with UNRWA, or in Yemen with the Houthis, this Administration constantly uses short-term humanitarian concerns to justify decisions that in the long run further deteriorate humanitarian conditions and undermine the United States’ national security. This can even be seen in the manner that the Biden Administration chooses to support Ukraine. They are more interested in a feel-good solution than in winning a war against evil.
This debate highlighted a sharpening contradiction between the Congress’s assessment of the innocent civilians and children of Yemen and those of Palestine.
During the discussion of H.R. 7122, To prohibit aid that will benefit Hamas, and for other purposes, or, The Stop Support for UNRWA Act, Mr. Smith remarked that “UNRWA […] is a massive entity that wants Israel utterly destroyed […] and those refugees would then take their place in Jerusalem in a new Palestinian state and elsewhere that is currently Israel.”
Mr. Meeks remarked:
Prohibiting U.S. funding of UNRWA while the people of Gaza are suffering an acute humanitarian disaster undermines the united states and Israel’s interests, erodes the Unites States moral authority and further endangers the lives of more than 2 million Palestinians residing in Gaza.
Gregory Meeks (D-NY)
[…]
The government of Israel agrees, which is why a senior Israeli official announced just days ago […] ‘If UNRWA ceases operating on the ground this could cause a humanitarian catastrophe that will force Israel to halt its fighting against Hamas. This would not be in Israel’s interests. It would not be in the interests of Israel’s allies either.’ UNRWA’s collapse would further harm regional stability, including in the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria at a time when the United States and Israel are seeking to deescalate and contain spillover from the war in Gaza. It would be a gift to Iran and its allies, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Bashar al-Assad
Mr. Perry remarked:
The Biden Administration has given UNRWA $730 million during its term here […] hard earned tax dollars of good Americans […] We’re sending them money since 1949 […] here’s what their doing, they’re relieving Israel of their sovereignty and their working on destroying Israel and the United States of America […] the Administration is on both sides of the war, but $730 million is going to the people that attacked Israel. We’re going to give Israel billions of dollars to defend themselves, we’re going to give billions of dollars to Israel to attack Gaza, and essentially level most of it, and then we’re going to ask for more money to fix Gaza. […] Since 1949 our American tax dollars have funded the United Nations Relief and Works Agency […] this isn’t the United States going over there; maybe it’d be different. Hopefully it would be different, but it’s the United Nations […which] seems a little hostile to your friends in Israel […] and I wonder, since 1949 whose responsibility is this […] maybe Iran wants to fund UNRWA, or the money can go direct to Hamas and doesn’t have to go through UNRWA. […] People are asking for a two-state solution and the Administration is now asking for the recognition of a Palestinian state. What happened on October 7th is what you get with an UNRWA-provided two-state solution.
Scott Perry (R-PA)
Mr. Mast (R) of Florida remarked:
Israel is America’s ally […] Palestinians are not our ally […] Nobody in here is willing to say that Palestinians are our ally; nobody wants to refute that Israel is our ally. Our ally Israel is at war with our non-ally, and UNRWA exists […] to support our non-ally. […] If we support UNRWA […] we are paying literally the salaries of our non-ally that is at war with our ally.
During Mr. Mast’s statements, the Ranking Member departed, and only one Democrat, Mr. Schneider, remained in the hearing room. In response to Mr. Mast, Mr. Schneider (D) of Illinois responded:
I’ll agree with you; Israel is our ally, in fact Israel is our most important ally in the Middle East, perhaps one of our most important allies in the world. The United States has no better friend than Israel and Israel has no better friend than the United States. […] The Palestinians are neither an ally nor an enemy; the Palestinians are a population […] that have been failed by their leadership for more than 100 years.
Brad Schneider (D-IL)
Approximately 100 years ago, Lord Rothschild and the British Crown took it upon themselves to shepherd and settle Zionists into the state of Palestine, and the region has been unstable ever since, to the extent that the United Nations in 1949 had to implement and operate basic civil society infrastructure on behalf of the Palestinian people. It is clear that Israel does not want to accept the responsibility of running the civil society of the people against whom they are committing genocide. Furthermore, if it became incumbent upon Israel to remedy the humanitarian crisis which they caused then they would have to cease committing genocide against such people, which is not in the interest of Israel or its allies.
Later, Mr. Schneider remarked:
The government of Israel has been clear that it does not want UNRWA to implode as it was noted in the Wall Street Journal just yesterday. There is a fear that if the critical services provided by UNRWA are no longer provided by the organization, it will be left to Israel to step in, or as was noted earlier in the conversation today, that Israel would have to pause it operations to defeat Hamas.
Later, Mr. Sherman (D) of California later remarked that “Israel trusts the other agencies of the UN, UNICEF, the World Food Program, et cetera, which surprised me frankly because I’m aware of the UN General Assembly and as a Zionist I am not a fan.”
Mr. Smith remarked:
UNRWA has proven itself to be, not just a malign actor, but to cause unbelievable child abuse to these Palestinian children who are taught to hate and they believe it. Why do we have young people, 13 and 14 year olds, toting AK-47s and being willing — really trying to think, someday I’ll be a martyr for Hamas and for a radical Islamic view. That’s absurd. Teach them to want to coexist, to respect other people, including Jewish men, women, and children. Instead, they’re taught to kill them and to hate them. That’s why there’s almost no end to the number of volunteers and people that go into Hamas, because they have been taught from the earliest stages to do so.
Mr. Mills remarked:
For those of us who swore an oath to our constitution, let us not forget that it is based upon our Christian-Judeo beliefs. And I don’t think that our Constitutional obligation is to worry about supporting funding to an organization that continues to go against the very people who’s trying to destroy the people of Israel.
The discussion of H.R. 7152, To direct the Secretary of State to establish a national registry of Korean American divided families, and for other purposes, specifically concerned Korean families separated by the South Korea-North Korea border (itself a legacy of the Korean-American War) even though the U.S. is currently embroiled in a U.S.-Mexico border crisis regarding the mass separation of migrant families coming from the global south.
Although Members of Congress give much lip service to the ‘existential threat’ faced by their allies, they do not consider the Palestinians to be facing such a threat from the ongoing genocide committed by Israel.

300,000 attend mass protest for Palestine in Washington; masjid al-maghrib established
By Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — Approximately 300,000 people from every corner of the United States converged for a “truly massive National March on Washington D.C.” on Saturday, November 4 at 12:00 p.m. at Freedom Plaza. Co-organizer ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition writes on their website:
Israel, with the full backing of the U.S. government, is carrying out an unprecedented massacre in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians are being killed with bombs, bullets and missiles paid for by U.S. tax dollars. This is the latest bloody chapter in the colonial project of Israel, founded with the objective of dispossessing Palestinians from their land; Now is the time to stand with the besieged people of Palestine! Gaza is being bombed by the hour. Its people are denied food, water and electricity by Israel. Tens of thousands more people are likely to die. We must ACT! People are in the streets everyday in their local cities and towns.

NOVUS SYLLABUS (N∴S∴) Executive Producer (EP) Antarah Crawley (@DCxInfinity) said of his coverage of the event:
This is a video of my favorite band performing some of my favorite songs. This band’s members are frequently changing, as does the reason for which they band together, and they often only perform in the nature of a direct action of civil disobedience or of expression of constitutional rights [in public spaces]. The band is called decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), and on November 4th 2023 they performed to Free Palestine in a moving concert of 300,000 people in downtown Washington DC. A revolutionary, empowering, peaceful, spiritual, and historical time was had by all. The band performed such classics as #freefreepalestine #ceasefirenow #shutitdown #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike and #ourstreets

The Center for Strategic and International Studies has reported on the escalating trend of mass protests:
Toward 7:00 p.m. on the evening of the fourth of November, as the march of the mass protest made its way to the White House grounds from 17th Street NW via Pennsylvania Avenue, to the right side of the Avenue in front of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a ways after the Secret Service guard post but before the inner barrier colonnade, muslims congregated to pray Maghrib, one of the five obligatory daily prayers, or salah. The Maghrib prayer begins when the sun sets, and lasts until the red light has left the sky in the west, according to Wikipedia. Masjid ar-Rahman provides this guide to praying daily salah, which are Fajr (dawn), Dhur (noon), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (evening), and Isha (nightfall). See the complete source.
The EP was riding past on his trusty steed when he observed the congregation facing toward mecca in diagonal rows; so he backtracked and stood at end of one of the rows to participate spiritually, although he did not know the manner of making rakah nor salah. The EP did feel the presence of God, so he remained there in meditative prayer. Other muslims came to pray, so the EP extended the footprint of the masjid to make room for them in the prayer line while he continued to stand at attention in meditative prayer. Other protest aids assumed the position of the doors and walls around the masjid, guiding the onstreaming crowd around the congregation; together, the EP and these aids ensured that the worshippers were not unduly disturbed by the surrounding masses. This arrangement continued until evening redness in the west went out and the last muslim ended their salah; and the masjid disbanded. After the last protest aid left, the EP himself got onto his knees to better commune with God/Allah, and he supplicated himself to God/Allah like the muslims had done in that place. He felt in his heart that during those past moments a divine thing had transpired there.
