  ZELOTS PROVOKED THE GREAT JEWISH REVOLT OF 66-70
  THE WAR LED TITUS FLAVIUS [#] TO RETAKE JERUSALEM
  THE JEWISH RESISTANCE CONTINUED AND THE
  "FREEDOM FIGHTERS" BECAME KNOW AS
  "SICARII" or ASSASSINS
  ZEALOTS RAIDED HOMES
          TERRORISED THE POPULATION
  ASSASINATED INNONCENT ROMAN JEWISH AND OTHER CIVILIANS

  THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SECOND JEWISH TEMPLE
  JEWISH ZEALOTS ADVOCATED KILLING STEALING AND

  ZEALOTS TOOK REFUGE IN THE ROMAN FORTRESS OF MASADA
  WHICH WAS RECAPTURED ROMANS IN 73
  RATHER THAN BEING CAPTURED

  WHO ZEALOSLY UPHELD THE DOGMAS FOUND IN THE
  OLD TESTAMENT OF THE BIBLE
  see> ASSASSIN
  hx> a good early example of
      TERROR and STATE TERRORISM is the
  "REIGN OF TERROR" in FRANCE from
  5 SEPTEMBER 1793 to 28 JULY 1794
  TERRO or in fr "LA TERREUR"
  A PERIOD OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION WHEN
  BRUTAL REPRESSION WAS JUSTIFIED AS A WAY TO
  DEFEND "LA PATRIE" or FRANCE FROM
  INTERNAL AND FOREIGN ENEMIES
  note likewise the "RED TERROR" unleashed by
       STALIN [#] and other DICTATORS
  WAS TO PROTECT THE "COUNTRY" FROM "ENEMIES"
  note THE "REIGN OF TERROR" ENDED WHEN
       ROBESPIERRE [#] and his ALLIES WERE EXECUTED
  but by then 18000 TO 40000 HAD BEEN
  DECAPITATED BY THE GUILLOTE or
  BEATEN TO DEATH BY MOBS
  note ROBESBIERRE [#] said that TERROR IS
       "PROMPT SEVERE INFLEXIBLE JUSTICE"
  hx> RUSSIAN "NARODNIKS"
      rus NAROD = PEOPLE
  WAS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION THAT SUBVERTED
  THE AUTOCRATIC CZARIST RUSSIAN IMPERIALISTIC REGIME
  in 1881 THE "LIBERATOR" CZAR ALEXANDER II who
  in 1861 FREED THE SERFS WAS BRUTALLY ASSASSINATED
  HIS SON CZAR ALEXANDER III INTRODUCED
  SEVERE ALIENATING REPRESSIVE MEASURES WHICH
  FURTHER STIMULATED TERRORISM AND CULMINATED IN THE
  RUSSIAN REVOLUTION OF 1917 AND BOSHEVIK VICTORY
  note THE VICTORIUS EXTREMIST BOLSHEVIKS
       INTRODUCED THE "RED TERROR"
  note DOSTOYEVSKY [#] VIEWED TERRORISM NOT AS
       DRIVEN BY RELIGIOUS FAITH BUT BY THE OPPOSITE
  A LOSS OF FAITH IN SOCIETY
  hx> note that it was in RUSSIA that the terms
      PARTISAN and TERRORIST NIHILIST were coined by
  RUSSIAN INTELLECTUALS WHO OPPOSED
  THE OPPRESSIVE CZARIST AUTOCRATIC REGIME OF "ALL RUSSIAS"
  REPRESSION WAS MOST SEVERE AGAINST
  "NON RUSSIANS" such as UKRAINIANS JEWS MOSLEMS
  LITHUANIANS and OTHER MINORITIES MANY OF WHOM
  SUPPORTED A RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
  1870 RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONARIES OPENLY ADOPTED THE
       LABEL "TERRORIST" and CLAIMED TO STAND FOR
       "THE PEOPLE'S FREEDOM"
  1872 DOSTOEVSKY [#] circulated his first
       installments of "THE POSSESSED" in which
  he forecasts the rise of TERRORISM
  DOSTOEVSKY EXPOSED HOW TERRORIST USE
  NEW WESTERN TECHNOLOGIES TO DESTROY THE STATE
  RELY ON EDUCATED CLASSES
  REDUCE ETHICAL RESTRAINTS AGAINST "OTHERS"
  ENCOURAGE KILLING OF "OTHERS"
  ENCOURAGE SUICIDAL TERRORIST ACTS
  note THE "RUSSIAN" "INTELIGENZTIA" BECAME SEDUCED
       BY THE IDEALS ESPOUSED BY
  "TERRORIST REVOLUTIONARIES"
  note THE FAMOUS REVOLUTIONARY MICHAEL BAKUNIN [#]
       DENOUNCED LEADING TERRORISTS AS BEING LIKE AN
  ABREK referring to FANATICAL MUSLIM WARRIORS
  WHO STOPPED AT NOTHING TO RESIST RUSSIAN RULE
  IMPOSED IN THE CAUCASUS AND AFGHANISTAN
  UPON MUSLIM POPULATIONS
  hx> ONCE IN POWER IN 1917
      VLADIMIR LENIN [#] ADOPTED and ADAPTED
  TERRORISM AS AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF BOLSHEVIK STATE
  note "RED TERROR" in the USSR was imitated by
       MAO TSE TUNG as per TERROR and THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION
  note KHMER ROUGE led by "POL POT" and the UNPRECEDENTED
       MASS SLAUGHTER OF ITS OWN POPULATION
  BETWEEN 1975 and 1979 GIVING RISE TO THE TERM
  "KILLING FIELDS" WHERE ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR CAMBODIANS
  WAS KILLED BY ORDERS OF A
  FANATIC CAMBODIAN GROUP OF "MAOISTS"
  note FIDEL CASTRO and MASS EXECUTIONS in CUBA    sug> PURGE
  lit+ one little but importatn book about
      COMMUNIST TERROR is " HARVEST OF SORROW " by
  Robert CONQUEST [#] who describes the
  USSR ENGINEERED FAMINE THAT KILLED 20 MILLION PERSONS IN UKRAINE
  lit+ note autobiography of Bertrand RUSSELL [#]
       " ... THE TIME I SPENT IN RUSSIA WAS
  ONE OF CONTINUALLY INCREASING NIGHTMARE ...
  SENSE OF UTTER HORROR WHICH OVERWHELMED ME ...
  CRUELTY  POVERTY  SUSPICION  PERSECUTION ...
  IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ONE WOULD HEAR SHOTS
  AND KNOW THAT IDEALISTS WERE BEING KILLED IN PRISON ...
  THERE WAS A HYPOCRITICAL PRETENSE OF EQUALITY ...
  I FELT THAT EVERYTHING THAT I VALUED IN HUMAN LIFE
  WAS BEING DESTROYED IN THE INTERESTS OF
  A GLIB AND NARROW PHILOSOPHY AND THAT IN THE PROCESS
  UNTOLD MISERY WAS BEING INFLICTED
  UPON MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ...
  MY HORROR INCREASED UNTIL I LOST
  ALL POWER OF BALANCED JUDGMENT ... "
  hx> IN A STALINIST SENSE
      TERROR MEANT THE REPRESSION OF "ENEMIES"
  rus "REPRESSIA" now denotes PUNISHMENT WITHOUT CAUSE or
  RANDOM TERROR
  hx> note other examples of
      STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM as per
  BOMBING OF ROTERDAM LONDON BERLIN DRESDEN
  HIROSHIMA NABASAKI
  hx> most recently the ancient term
      SICARIOS resurfaced in reference to
