"The Book"?

Can anyone enlighten me as to why a section of this article is titled, "The Book"? Thank you in advance, Lindenfall (talk) 16:43, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

UCMJ punishment for espionage

It appears that espionage in the US during war no longer carries a mandatory death sentence. See https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title10-section903&num=0&edition=prelim:

016-Pub. L. 114–328, §5414, inserted "or such other punishment as a court-martial or a military commission may direct" after "punished by death".

This is the last paragraph under the "War" subheading of this article. I don't know if this is still UCMJ section 106, or if it has been moved to another section (maybe 103?). In any case, I won't make the edit myself. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 20:29, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:NOBACKREF

To whom it may concern, there is too much "espionage" in the headers. I believe there should be less, like in most good articles. But there's not enough time (for me) so it might be a mission for you. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will fix if I know what "espionage in the headers" means. Please elaborate. Guylaen (talk) 07:26, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please add this subject

I have been investigating this for years now and I need someΝόφӀ add this as a header, section or small quote to this article. I have told this story to my friends, family members and other people in my circle. What I want to say is that I have found out a cross-government project called "Watchtower". It is a very serious matter and I will not be surprised if this section gets removed. What I am trying to say is that at least 50 governments, city or country have special invisible cameras inside of the houses that people live in. This also ranges to outside, as t_{here are camoflagued} drones which monitor your every move. Thermal cameras,٩٩٩٩֘ motion sensors, ever~~yth~~ing. Luckily, I have removed these "Watchtower" fragments from my home and I am on a mission to take these people down. I have done measures to rip out sensors, thermal cameras and video c^ameras from my walls, and I have barricaded my doors so no government-affiliated men walk by. I would not be surprised if this section gets wiped, as "Watchtower" has been censored several times from the web. They have mind control tools and can directly intercept your thoughts. I had this happen to me many times before and had made measures against it, as of now this has stopped. I made a Wikipedia account to leave this message, and if anyone can join me in this investigation I would be really happy. _{I had to encrypt this article using several text fonts so the advanced (High-power people have webcrawlers which to my understanding are around 20 times more powerful than any AI model in the general public, can read this article and therefore purge it. If I get "blocked" from this web encyclopedia, this only proves my point further.)} Iostor-qet-sanct (talk) 15:49, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
