Want to save the world? Now’s your chance with Nineveh 90!

We are currently in the midst of the 100th Anniversary of the Fatima Apparitions that spoke in detail about the End of the World.

For Christians, descendants of the Ancient Israelites, there is only one option – We either put up, or we shut up, shut down, and be destroyed, as all of God’s enemies always are.

100 years ago, Mary (Jesus’s mother) appeared to a group of children in Fatima and told them many things about the end of the world along with providing specific instructions in the form of deliverable actions that God asked man to do, in order to prevent avoid forcing His hand and by begging Him to destroying the world a second time, by fire (not water as he did the first time).

Many of these specific actions did not happen because man chose NOT to do them. Yup, Man got the message and said, NOPE – Not going to do it.

We basically said EFF YOU to God, and in today’s climate where kids say that to their parents all the time, its easy to understand why we didn’t “get it”.

What was ordered of us 100 years ago?

You can read up on all the details at The Message of Fatima Area of the Vatican Website  but the short and to the point information can be summed up with the four points below.

• God ordered the Church and man to destroy Communism and wipe it off the face of the earth. But it wasn’t defeated and was instead enshrined as the religion of the Left.

• God ordered Human Life to be protected and defended at all stages, but Human Life was not protected, and the opposite, abortion – the murder of the most innocent form of humanity – was enshrined as the most holy right of those on the Left.

• God ordered that Families, man, woman, and child to be preserved and protected – but families were not held up, preserved or protected as we have rampant adultery, divorce, and other types of relationships taking front and center stage – all at the expense of the family.

• And all the other orders issued at Fatima, that man was told to follow, with the warning that if man chooses disobedience, that God would bring forth Justice.

It was clear the world listened as Fatima 1917 was reported in every major newspaper.

You’d think aliens from outer space have landed with all the press it got.

But nobody actually obeyed, and that is why we find ourselves where we are today.

As warned very clearly in the Fatima Apparitions 100 years ago, failure to do these things will result in the destruction of the world.

The third apparition detailed what would happen if man chose not to heed the warning and disobey the requests, and since man did not obey, we now face what God promised. And God always keeps his promises.

Here is what Sr. Lucia, one of the children who saw the vision in 1917, explained to her Bishop and ultimately the Vatican:

“After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!’ (You can read about the rest of the message at Vatican – The Message of Fatima, “Third Part of the ‘Secret’”

Now this would make great fiction or perhaps science fiction if the Vatican didn’t declare it as fully legitimate and factual, and if people didn’t see the related “science defying” miracles with their own eyes.

But, it isn’t fiction because it happened as can be read about on Wikipedia under Miracle of the Sun. Everyone there experienced a similar vision.

It is just as real as what is observed when a Roman Catholic Priest removes a demon from a possessed person.

It is just as real as the blood of Saint Januarius drying and liquefying on the same day every year before everyone’s eyes and for all the world’s media Blood Liquification Miracle

Except this year and ONLY this year, it didn’t happen, making it very clear that 2017 is going to be ‘different’ than the 627 years prior as evidenced in a Fox News Report, 

It’s also just as real as the science defying observable and measurable realities of the Tilma Cloth of Our Lady of Guadalupe

All these things are observed and corroborated by generations of scientists as true yet unexplainable because they defy science. And they are all real.

Now if you are a working man or women, you know that when your boss tells you to do something, you do it, simply because it was requested, and you want to keep your job.

So why did we refuse to obey, with all these clear signs and warnings as evidence to the reality of them?

Well, how lucky we are that History repeats itself.

The Book of Jonah depicts Nineveh as a wicked city worthy of destruction. God sent Jonah to preach to the Ninevites of their coming destruction, and they fasted and repented because of this. As a result, God spared the city; when Jonah protests against this, God states He is showing mercy for the population who are ignorant of the difference between right and wrong (“who cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand” [19]) and mercy for the animals in the city.

Nineveh’s repentance and salvation from evil is noted in the Christian biblical canon’s Gospel of Matthew (12:41) and the Gospel of Luke (11:32). To this day, Syriac and Oriental Orthodox churches commemorate the three days Jonah spent inside the fish during the Fast of Nineveh. The Christians observing this holiday fast by refraining from food and drinks. Churches encourage followers to refrain from meat, fish and dairy products.[20]

Perhaps all of this this explains why so many who were never previously “tapped into” their religious faith, got “real religious” after seeking the stark differences between what each of the two presidential candidates promised to do.

One pledged to support life while the other promised to usher in darkness and death.

That radical difference between what the two candidates promised to do, reflected the greater reality of the spiritual realm, showing good versus evil. And people knew it.

That stark difference hit many Americans directly in the face, and woke them up.

Many had been re-awakened to Christianity. Some became Christian who never believed before.

They saw that the differences between Trump and Clinton were clear and stark.

That is why the awakened Christians predominantly flocked to Donald Trump, because they recognized that the actions he pledged to perform regarding LIFE, were the right actions, while the other candidate promised to ensure death, by promising that the murder of the unborn would increase exponentially.

By voting for Trump, Christians across America told the world they were waking up to the realities of the spiritual realm, as it played out in the temporal realm in the form of the presidential election.

Millions of Christians fasted and prayed to defeat the darkness, before the election, asking God to ensure the one who stands for Life becomes the president.

That happened and we won. But that was only the first battle, not the war. The war is still on, and the forces of darkness continue to surround us.

Now that we find ourselves in the exact place we were told that we would find ourselves in by the Fatima apparitions that happened 100 years ago, Revelation 12 Begins The Day The Year of Mercy Ends, and the only way forward, is to do the Nineveh thing.

It’s time. The battle lines are drawn. The sides are declared.

None of this is new information. We chose to disobey it for 100 years. The media reported on all the miricles but kept them relegated to non-front page news stories making sure we wouldn’t see them unless we were “interested in that sort of thing”. And we allowed the very same media that continues to deceive us daily to get away with not sounding the trumpets on the “science defying” miracles above.

So here we are 100 years later, standing at the nexus of what was promised, so we really only have one final chance. If we blow this, we already know what will happen.

It comes down to us. You and me. Those who support the darkness will never fast, pray, or do penance. They aren’t sorry. That’s not how they operate and that is why they will lose. But its not up to them. Not while we are around. And we will win if we simply obey. The best part is that in our winning, we also save them, so they have another chance too.

But the time is now. We must either put up or shut up.

Only 90 days left, but it could be a lifetime.

Now, I don’t know about you, but we here at ILC Media plan to stick around. We have lots to do, and quite personally, checking out just doesn’t cut it. So lets do this thing and keep Revelation 12 relegated to the annuls of “something we just read about”.

Ready, Nineveh 90 – Let’s do it! Besides… “What have we got to lose?”

Make sure your name is written in the book of Nineveh 90 particpants as a testimemt before God as to which side you are on.

DO Nineveh 90 and become part of the group of over 5000 people who bear the burder of saving the world.

Want to save the world? Now’s your chance. 

If How the Demonic Left will prosecute its Assault on The Church

This is one of the mechanisms that will soon be used by the left, the new order, the ones of ‘this world’ to come after the Roman Catholic Church. There are several other ways,  but this is the way that will directly effect each one of us.

The trigger warnings and safe zones that exist on college campuses, the snowflake and easily offended social culture that is being groome is all part of the foundation that will allow what is written below to move forward at a faster pace.

“Making someone believe their actions are sinful, is extreme abuse, psychological abuse, emotional rape.

Teaching someone that sexual acts outside of marriage, including acts of homosexuality, masturbation, pornography, extramarital sex, and so forth is sinful and can cause you damnation after you die is abuse at the most fundamental level of the human psyche.

Teaching someone that aborting a pregnancy is a sin and can result in damnation is also abuse at the most fundamental level of the human psyche.

Teaching someone that their body is male or female in spite of what their mind feels, is abuse of the highest order.

The Roman Catholic Church is the only organization that promulgates this kind of abuse. It must be destroyed so it cannot abuse people in this way anymore. Other Christian religions who have already abandoned the concept of sin or who no longer view the things listed here as being sins are harmless and are of no concern.

Therefore parents who teach these things to their children are not fit to raise them. The children will be taken from these kinds of parents and given to the state or to a family who does not practice such abuse.

Schools that teach these things are not fit to educate and will be stopped in order to save the vulnerable from the indoctrination of such abusive and unhealthy beliefs.

Priests will be arrested and bishops imprisoned for teaching the lie that is sin, as that lie is the cause of much emotional and psychological abuse. Telling people sin exists and can damn them to hell is the ultimate form of abuse and it will be stopped.

Hillary Clinton, or our other allies who come after her, will put the courts in place and handle the other chess pieces in government to allow us to realize this reality.

Our agents in secular and church society will do their part. We have our doctors and our psychologists, along with our academics who already made our case via various scholarly works on this very topic.

We will use government insurance and health care infrastructures to eliminate doctors, psychologists, and others who dissent.

New physicians will be too frightened to speak or publish against us as they will lose their jobs, reputation, and license. Younger people who have already been indoctrinated with this new order of mind will replace older opposition by attrition.

We will see this come to the fullness of fruition within the next 20 years. Once it happens we will then be able to begin to bring forth our vision of world peace. Once our greatest opposition is eliminated, the Roman Catholic Church, there is nothing else that can stop us.

This will be implemented in each global zone in the way that is most effective for that zone, culture, and society. However since we are discussing the American implementation this is what we right here must focus on right now.”

Now we here at IL Conservatore Media can tell you that this is what is unfolding before us, and if we do nothing to stop it, if we do not see this presidential election for what it is, we will meet it when it shows up at our front door.

We can also tell you that the beliefs and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church along with the army of Catholics in full communion with it is their greatest earthly advisory. They know that we know what they are doing. They must eliminate us, and they have already committed themselves to working to do so.

Those Who Work Like Demons: The “Sin Denying Left” and their Connection to ISIS and Communism

Bill Clinton admitted it on Monday September 12, 2016 in his interview with Charlie Rose on PBS when he said “She works like a demon”, as he spoke about his wife Hillary Clinton.

Normally people use theses idioms to imply hard work:

• she works like a dog

• she works like a slave

• she is working her finger to the bone

• she works hard

• she works to death

• she is working her tail off

His subconscious mind let out the truth and he didn’t even realize it.

For the better part of the past 2000 years there were three types of people:

• People who acknowledge the existence of sin and who seek forgiveness and repent when they commit it.

• People who acknowledge sin, and repent of most sin when they commit it, but they deny the existence of one or two particular sins they commit and don’t want to change

• People who are not members of Christianity and who do not know or believe in the concept of sin. (this also includes people who have left Christianity)

For the better part of the past 2000 years, the above demographics is basically what you saw in nations with large Christian majorities.

Enter post Fatima 1917 and that demographic has changed.

Between 1917 and the 1990’s a new caste of people have come into existence.

• People who live in a Christian society and who have grown up around it, but who have unrepentantly rejected the idea of sin and who seek to beat that rejection into every other human being on earth, forcing them to believe it or suffer significant punishment.

Similar to how ISIS kills people who refuse to convert to ISLAM, the “Sin Denying Left” Injures those who refuse to embrace its denial of sin.

There are two primary beliefs it uses to test for apostasy: (1) Homosexual Acts and (2) Abortion.

Members of the “Sin Denying Left”, like ISIS, practice a religion.

However, the religion they practice it is not a traditional or formal one that would be recognized.

Instead, the religion of the “Sin Denying Left” takes the form of a simple allegiance to the three demonic principals of (1) SELF which in turn enables the demonic principals of (2) objectifying human beings as something to be used or discarded along with (3) destroying those who stand in opposition the god that you serve.

This is best understood by watching the direct actions performed by members of the “Sin Denying Left”, when they harm and punish specific people who have stood up in opposition to their demonic principals.

• For example, a cake shop, whose owners refused to aid and abet the sin of Homosexual Acts by refusing to place that action in a position of prominence by baking a wedding cake, received death threats, were charged with committing a hate crime, went to jail, were fined $130,00, and lost everything all for refusing to participate in sin.

They committed an act of apostasy against the “Sin Denying Left” by standing up and proclaiming the reality that sin does exist, and the members of the “Sin Denying Left” punished them severely for their act of apostasy.

• Another example is that the owners of a small pharmacy refuse to stock abortion inducing drugs. They will not purchase, stock, or sell drugs whose sole purpose is to kill an innocent human life. They will not aid and abet the sin of murder by refusing to provide drugs whose sole purpose it to kill innocents. The owners were charged with discrimination against women by their refusal to stock and sell murder inducing drugs. Because of their refusal to stock and sell these drugs, their pharmacy license was revoked and the owners have been stripped of their only means of income.

They committed an act of apostasy against the “Sin Denying Left” by standing up and proclaiming the reality that sin does exist, and the members of the “Sin Denying Left” punished them severely for their act of apostasy.

There are hundreds of other examples of this.

The point is to illuminate the reality that in a post Fatima world, several versions of the same demonic religion has formed.

• Communism (which is totalitarian by nature and atheistic) has taken hold in some places.

• ISIS has taken hold where communism was not able to.

• The “sin denying left” has taken hold where both communism and ISIS were not able to.

Each of these three implementations of the demonic achieve the exact same thing:

• They objectify human beings as something to be used or discarded

• They believe that sin as Christians know it, does not exist, and they seek to destroy anyone who stands in opposition to their “denial of sin”

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have invested their lives in promoting abortion and more recently homosexual marriage.

The actions, legislation, and polices put forth by both of them, as well as the actions and objectives of the other members of the “Sin Denying Left”, serve as a testament to the reality that they work very hard, like demons.

Final Fatima Vision & You!

“The Roman Catholic Church will be destroyed.” – Final Fatima Vision.

This means the earthy form of the Church, also known as The Church Militant will cease to exist and will be transformed upon Christ’s return into the Church Triumphant, which is the spiritual form.

The destruction of and transformation away from the earthly form of the church, known as Church Militant, will occur because the ‘errors of Russia have spread across the earth’ as the first and second Fatima Vision spoke about.

We ask you, what and whose ideology promotes these three Russian errors?

(1) Error of Totalitarianism and lack of respect for the dignity of human life.

(2) Error of National (government based) hostility towards Roman Catholicism – which Catholics believe to be the religion that was established by Christ himself.

(3) Error of Socialism/Communism – where freedom is sacrificed at the expense of making people dependent upon government. This can only happen when there is no respect for human life.

What group holds an ideology that views all three of these things as holy?

What group in America has punished Christians who own pharmacies by taking their licenses for refusing sin by dispensing abortifacient drugs.

There are over 40 court cases pending for these types of offenses. https://cmda.org/library/doclib/real-life-conscience-stories-revisedmay09.pdf

What group and ideology acts like a totalitarian and does not allow for dissent?

College campuses show this unfolding over the past 8 years at record pace. Just like the communist re-education programs of Russia, Cuba, China, and North Korea, American colleges often harbor activist groups that punish dissenters who dare to speak out on issues or abortion and human life.

What group uses language that implies the person who is focusing on the innocent life of the baby is really a hateful, sexist, bigot against the person killing the unborn baby?

What group and ideology punishes its dissenters by offering them a chance to apologize and make amends by converting from their Christian beliefs to a new and ‘proper’ belief system?

What group professes as one of its major national goals to implement socialism/communism?

Are these things not the ‘errors of Russia’ that were spoken of by Mary the Mother of God, in the first and second Fatima apparition?

Are these errors, this dark ideology, and those who act as agents seeking to promote and spread it, not the cause of the destruction of the church as shown in the Final Vision of Fatima?

The theme that unites and ties together all of the Russian errors is the the fundamental debasement of human life.

What group(s) and ideologies share this debasement of life through their obsession with and promotion of abortion?

Is this group and their ideology not the same group who kills the Pope and all his Priests and Bishops as shown in the Final Fatima Vision?

Without the Priests and Bishops to forgive sin and administer the sacraments, there is no Church.

That is why the Final Fatima Vision can only be understood in the context of the previous two Visions to be the complete destruction of the Roman Catholic Church that we know, the earthly form called Church Militant, after which Jesus Christ returns because he promised us he would not leave us without either His Church or Himself. The result will be the Church Triumphant, which is the form of the church that exists in Heaven outside of the temporal or earthly realm. When heaven and earth meet, that is when the earthly form of the church will cease and the fullness of reality knows the spiritually form, which is called Church Triumphant.

Based on the content of the Marian Visions at Fatima, it would seem that the speed at which this transformation from Church Militant to Church Triumphant happens is directly proportional to and dependent upon the speed at which the Russian errors are spread across the earth.

With that said, every decision you make, every vote you cast, every act you perform matters.

What group do you identify with or stand with?

What ideology do you act on, spread, or promote?

Who and what group do you vote for at the polls?

Your actions either contribute to moving the world towards Christ or away from Him. Those are the only two directions.

Don’t believe us? Ask your parish priest.

What is the final fatima vision released to the public by Pope JP2 in 2000 AD? “The pope and all his priests and bishops are killed at the foot of the cross with arrows and bullets. Leaving not even one member of the clergy alive.”

**This article has been read and un-officially declared to be free from doctrinal error or heresy by three separate diocesan priests from three different dioceses in North America. The priests who read this were asked if they see any specific or worrisome  ideas, sentences, or concepts that are not in line with Roman Catholic teaching or transmit heresy in any way. They said no. Based on their knowledge as priests the material here is doctrinally accurate and sound, and does not contain any heretical ideas or concepts. We cannot give out their names because their opinion is not theologically or doctrinally binding, but we encourage you to take this article to your parish priest and talk about it with them for your own personal and spiritual growth. Or to share it within your faith community so that more people may see the link between certain political ideologies and the warning that occurred at Fatima. Our decisions and actions have a lot to do with when God decides to return just as the decisions and actions of those living in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah or in the time of Noah were directly related to God’s decision on chastisement that occurred in those periods.

Egypt Claims Muslim Brotherhood Operatives Occupy The White House

Egypt’s Rose El-Youssef magazine claims six American Muslim leaders who work with the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who have significant influence on U.S. policy.

Egypt’s Rose El-Youssef magazine, in a Dec. 22 story, (http://www.rosa-magazine.com/News/3444/رجلو6-إخوان-فى-البيت-الأبيض6) said the six men turned the White House “from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The Egyptian article was translated and reported by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, or IPT. The translated version can be found here – http://www.investigativeproject.org/3868/a-man-and-6-of-the-brotherhood-in-the-white-house

IPT said that while the story is largely unsourced, it is significant because it raises the issue to Egyptian readers.

The article names Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development; Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference; Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, or MPAC); Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA; and Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood
Partnerships.

Meanwhile, outspoken Republican congressman Louie Gohmert has been pressing for an investigation of the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence on the federal government, contending a probe is necessary because of the Obama administration’s “horrendous decisions” in backing the so-called “Arab Spring” revolutions in the Middle East.

The East Texas lawmaker was one of five Republican Congress members who stirred bipartisan controversy in June by raising concern about Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in the nation’s capital.

The Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood was formed in the 1920s after the demise of the Ottoman Turkish empire with the intent of helping establish Islamic rule worldwide. It’s stated goal for the U.S. is “a kind of grand jihad” aimed at “eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within” so that “Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

Fransciscan Friars in NYC Post Instructional Video Condoning Homosexual Union

Two homosexuals appear holding hands, 10 seconds into the following video by Fr. Daniel P. Horan, OFM  –>    http://youtu.be/LyzIewE6m8A

If this was a secular video, made by a private or non profit entity that did not believe homosexual acts were sinful, it would be fine. But this video was made by the Roman Catholic Church. The very church who preaches that any sexual act outside of sacramental marriage (male + female) is a gravely disordered action, and is sinful.

All Roman Catholics concerned about the current evil and decay that’s emanating out from within the Church must contact them to express concern (direct contact information for the particular province that manages Fr. Daniel P. Horan is listed below)

Please feel free to copy and use the letter below, or you can add to it, subtract from it or even write your own.

——————————————-
Dear OFM Provincial Head:

I am extremely concerned that you have someone in your ranks who is trying to communicate a very dangerous message to the world and to other Roman Catholics.

10 seconds into the video by Fr. Daniel P. Horan (http://youtu.be/LyzIewE6m8A) two homosexuals appear holding hands in what some would call an irregular union, others would call it just plain sinful.

This is deeply concerning to me as it subtly communicates and sends a message to the world that sin is not something Catholics or anyone really needs to be concerned about. The fact that this homosexual imagery is shown in a Roman Catholic video falsely sends a message of acceptance of and permission to commit the act of homosexual unity. It is exactly the kind of message, due to its subtle yet highly effective impact on the human conscious and subconscious mind, that Satan himself would want the Church to send.

It is a message that empowers the false teachings of the devil and diminishes the truth of Jesus Christ, sort of like nailing Christ to the cross again, because of what he teaches.

After receiving this loud and clear message you subtly sent through the video, the next question one would naturally ask is “Why only show one type of irregular Union? Isn’t that discrimination against those united through adultery, premarital sex, group sex, thievery, the commission of abortion, or even murder?”

I mean if sin is ok, and being united in acts of sin is not wrong, as your portrayal of the homosexual Union communicates, then all sin must be ok no matter how sinful it is, right?

That’s what your video communicates.

Is that the kind of message you believe Jesus Christ wants you to send?

You might want to make sure whoever made that video is prevented from instructing or teaching others about the faith. Their teaching skills appear to be acting in service of darkness. The message subtly conveyed through that video is that sin doesn’t exist. That is message has the potential to lead many souls directly into hell – exactly what the devil himself would want.

You need to clean your house lest it continue to work against The Lord our God and his Son Jesus Christ.

I shall keep you in my prayers. May God help you.

Sincerely,

<name here>

Rapture / Chastisement 2016 – Vote The Apocalypse

  

Sometimes A Good Cook May Be All That Stands Between Us And Tyranny

Tim Cook is absolutely right in trying to prevent the government from compelling Apple to assist in cracking the iPhone that was issued to Syed Rizwan Farook by San Bernardino County.

This explains why:

San Bernardino County had the responsibility to manage their phones via a centrally controlled management environment so that San Bernardino County could lock, save, manage, change the password, transfer data, etc.

San Bernardino County made the decision to abdicate that responsibility. That fault rests squarely on San Bernardino County.

Since San Bernardino County failed the people its supposed to serve, the story should end there. The phone is inaccessible due to failed governance of San Bernardino County.

There were also several other opportunities to gain access to the phone, that the FBI squandered. One example is that the County of San Bernardino did know the password of Syed Rizwan Farook’s iCloud account, and because they knew that they gave it to the FBI when asked and FBI changed the iCloud password, before the iPhone automatically backed up. If that password wasn’t changed, the FBI could have connected the phone to a known WIFI connextion that the phone was prevoously clnnected to, so that the iCloud backup would have automaticlaly run, then the FBI could have gotten the all the data off of iCloud via the backup.

So before we start, lets place responsibility for this issue on both San Bernardino County and the FBI. If those two agencies didn’t act so irresponsibly, we never would be in a situation where the FBI is ordering Apple to help them break into the iPhone.

Now, in the situation of this iPhone, the FBI is not trying to solve a crime. Their actions are not part of normal “evidence gathering” in an attempt to implicate a suspect and prove a particular suspect was the person who committed the crime.

The suspect is already dead and has already forensically admitted to committing the crime.

So if what the FBI wants to do with the phone is not part of the normal process of gathering evidence to prove a particular suspect committed a crime, then what is it?

This act, the desire of the FBI to hack this iPhone, is akin to running an Intelligence Operation.

An Intelligence Operation is substantively, structurally, and categorically different than a Criminal Investigation.

In a Criminal Investigation, law enforcement is tasked with collecting evidence in order to prove that a suspect committed a crime.

In an Intelligence Operation, law enforcement is tasked with going out into the world and looking at whatever they want to look at (within the law) to see if they can figure out who is bad and who they might want to take a closer look at. In an Intelligence Operation, you are not necessarily tasked with solving any particular crime, you are only tasked with gathering as much information about whatever you can. Sort of like the NSA when it’s stated mission was to “Collect All Data”.

We already know the suspect, Syed Rizwan Farook, committed the crime. That closes the case and stops the criminal investigation. The suspect is dead, and both forensic evidence and all the witnesses universally name him as the perpetrator. This means the crime has been solved, and the FBI must now go on to the next case.

It also begs the question of why is the FBI is trying to do is something outside of and above its crime solving process. Other agencies have intelligence gathering roles. The roles are separate. One agency has a crime fighting role, and another agency has an intelligence collection role. So, why is the crime fighting agency trying to insert itself into an intelligence gathering role? If anything it should be the agency whose role is intelligence collection that is making the case for the iPhone. But since that other agency has no legal way to walk into a courtroom and say “we want to look at this iPhone because we want to know who he talks to” – because the judge would laugh them out of the courtroom, that other agency has asked their friends in the FBI to use this case as the entry point to Intelligence Collection. See what happened?

The government wants to see who else may have associated with Syed Rizwan Farook, similar to how it wanted to know who Al Capone and other criminals and terrorists of by gone era’s associated and interacted with. Such a desire on the part of the government is a very noble goal and they should pursue that goal within the power limiting framework that is already in place. They should not be allowed by a judge to break through that framework. Congress needs to pass a law and the president must sign it, if America wants to change that framework. Using an unelected judge to make laws from the bench against the will of the people is something the government keeps using to take more and more power. The way the FBI is trying to do it is patently wrong and Apple is correct in its opposition.

In a free society the goal of wanting to know who speaks and meets with whom must be balanced with the right of citizens to protect themselves from government intrusion.

Consider this:

In the 1980’s and 90’s most criminals and terrorists used code words and pay phones. They also used in-person meetings at secret locations and often communicated with letters that would then be burned upon receipt.

How could the government read the letters that were already ashes?

How could they see who attended secret meetings when there were no video cameras on street corners, and they didn’t even know the location of the meeting?

How could the government listen to the calls that were made to and from random pay phones, unless they targeted a specific individual, and followed them to listen in?

They could not, and that’s the point.

Without hacking this iPhone, the FBI is no worse off than it has been for the past 60+ years.

However, once they compel Apple to open this up, the FBI just expanded their reach in unprecedented ways that exponentially grows their surveillance and intelligence collection capabilities.

Unless the government specifically obtained a warrant in advance to tap a specific pay phone, they would never be able to determine what was said or who called whom and when.

Unless the government specifically targeted a specific person for investigation in advance, nobody would be able to observe in person meetings at secret locations, nor would the FBI be able to read letters that have already been burned to ashes.

So then, where does the iPhone fit into all this? How should we understand it?

The correct way to interpret and understand the iPhone used by Syed Rizwan Farook, is to interpret it as being no different than any of those things: (1) un-wiretapped pay phone, (2) or an in-person secret meeting with no witnesses, (3) or a pile of ashes that was at one time a secret letter.  

The FBI never had that information. Just because the information exists or existed, does not give the FBI the right to collect it.

Interaction by the FBI with the iPhone outside of the traditional criminal investigative framework described above, expands government power exponentially into an Intelligence Operation. It’s completely different and separate and must be treated as such.

Now, many say that whatever tool Apple creates, would just be used on this one iPhone.

Anyone who understands anything about technology knows that is not true. Once such a tool exists, it could very easily be used on any iPhone. There is no technical reason or legal reason that it would not be. Technically, all the FBI or Apple would need to do is make a small change to the program’s source code, and it would work on a different iPhone or any phone. Criminals would eventually get their hands on it and would modify it to work on any iPhone.

But, rather than focusing on these nuances, lets return to the real issue.

Why is the FBI trying to run an Intelligence Operation?

Why is it not satisfied with its law enforcement role?

If the FBI is allowed to get its way and run an Intelligence Operation on this iPhone today, what is the next power it will want and get tomorrow?

Where does that power end?

Who will end it?

How do we really know that?

As long as the people and lawmakers continue to allow the government to use Judges to legislate from the bench, the government will always be able to do whatever it wants.
