Zealots. The Zealots were the religious/political activists similar to the modern religious ultra-right, except they advocated and actively promoted the violent overthrow of their political oppressors, like the “Branch Davidians” and those other self-called “Christian activists” who bomb abortion clinics. One of the Master’s Emissaries (Apostles) was Simeon Zelotes (Simon the Zealot).
Among the Zealots was a group of political assassins whose occupation it was to execute those whom they considered political oppressors or trators to Israel. These were dispatched with a quick plunge of an ice-pick-like dagger called a sicae into the base of the brain. These assassins were known as Sicarii (singular sicarius) from the name of their weapon. The disciple who betrayed the Master was was Yehudah the Sicarius (Judas Iscariot).
