Illusions of Security: Global Surveillance and Democracy in the Post-9/11 World - How well are our national security measures working? Maureen Webb says the latest incident in Times Square shows the surveillance systems that have been implemented since 9/11 are affecting ordinary citizens but not real terrorists. "Tragedy in Times Square was averted not by the 82 cameras monitoring the streets in the area, but by an alert citizen who called the police and got the bomb squad there. The break in the case came, not from some futuristic data mining program, but through old-fashioned police work. Had an old-fashioned all-points alert been relied on to close the borders to the suspect, it might have worked better than the no-fly system with its swollen list, said to contain at various times between 44,000 and 1,000,000 names." Webb says the list has become so unwieldy it can't work in an urgent situation. Webb's book is "Illusions of Security: Global Surveillance and Democracy in the Post-9/11 World." - www.amazon.ca

This new book compares the Dead Sea Scrolls with the teachings of Jesus and the beliefs and practices of early Christians to allow readers to answer questions about where Jesus spent his missing years. The author, an attorney, marshals the pattern evidence in this comparative study to show the uniquely similar teachings of Jesus and the Dead Sea Sect. This illuminates the mystery of the whereabouts of Jesus during his hidden years as well as what shaped his life and ministry. McNeill Stokes emphasizes a striking commonality between Jesus and the Dead Sea Sect, known as the Essenes. Major events in the life of Jesus, as described in the New Testament, were prophesied in Essene literature using virtually identical language. The book shows that the distinctive and highly moral Essenes recruited precocious youths and schooled them in Essene beliefs and practices to become leaders in their celibate society. Pattern evidence is presented of the high probability that the Essenes raised and influenced Jesus, his cousin John the Baptist, and his brother James. All three exhibited similar Essene values, beliefs, and practices. The book emphasizes that John the Baptist is identified with the Essenes by the concurrent location, identical motives, likeness in his dress, diet, and celibacy, as well as very similar spiritual purification baptism ceremonies involving religious convictions, repentance, and water purification. The book demonstrates that the teachings of Jesus are similar to the Essenes in an overwhelming number of beliefs and practices including: rewarding the righteous with salvation and resurrection and judgment for the unrighteous at the end of days, announcing New Covenants combining the current covenant with a future eternal covenant, practicing universal goodness and supportive companionship, practicing faith healings and exorcisms with the laying on of hands, unique similar writing styles of beatitudes, metaphors, parables, commentaries and community rules, communal meals of bread and wine celebrating the Messiah, and the willingness to die for their religious beliefs.
