If you want to kill the sense of history, culture, and national flavor, put surveillance on those who bear it and in the places it is expressed.
Surveillance has the ability to extract what is good from bodies, minds, and souls. It may even disturb and kill anointings.
Where ancient feelings and spiritual remnants of history dwell, when put under surveillance, die, replaced by grey and deadened perception, and when released may recover and be recaptured.
