Commonwealth Ombudsman to resign
Why are 'you' denying sizing THIS Headline, as
THE VERY IMPORTANT Headline it is?
Oh, the subject explains it.
'You' and 'your' fellow TRAITORS ARE BUSTED in it!
Commonwealth Ombudsman to resign
From: AAP
October 20, 2011 12:54AM
COMMONWEALTH Ombudsman Allan Asher
is set to announce his resignation after admitting
he wrote questions for a Greens senator
to ask him in a Senate committee hearing.
Fairfax reports the Gillard government has made it clear it had
lost confidence in Mr Asher because he penned questions about
under-funding for Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young
to ask him in a senate committee hearing in May.
It said Mr Asher has met with Special Minister of State Gary Gray
to discuss his conduct where it was obvious relations between him
and the government were beyond repair.
On Monday, Mr Asher apologised to a Senate estimates committee for his
behaviour at an earlier hearing, saying it had been mistaken and he was
deeply sorry.
The paper said that while it would take a parliamentary vote to dismiss Mr Asher,
he was ready to step aside today in the face of the government's attitude.

What The HELL is "FOUNDATION"?
I really can't be bothered re-explaining what all this means,
but I'm sure readers who have followed the exchanges between me
and my attackers, like 'tintin' and 'David Icke's' 'australian' members,
will notice "FOUNDATION" has more in common with 'tintin/them'
than 'their' tired old tactic of DENYING ACCESS,
to INDEPENDENT THINKERS/RESEARCHERS who have NOT BEEN
BOUGHT OFF, TO PEDDLE MORE TRAITOROUS PROPAGANDA.
Outgoing SA Premier Mike Rann says others can judge

OUTGOING South Australian Premier Mike Rann says it's up to others to judge him.
But the man often dubbed "media Mike" is not shy about listing his government's achievements since coming to office in 2002.
By any measure it's a reasonably impressive list.
In recent weeks the premier has signed-off on the banning of mining in the
environmentally-sensitive Arkaroola Sanctuary in the Flinders Ranges
and also the deal to have BHP Billiton spend $30 billion expanding the
Olympic Dam copper and uranium mine.
Over the past decade it has
also increased spending on health and education, opening new schools and
employing more doctors and nurses.
It has also built a desalination plant, started construction on a new central hospital and
approved the major redevelopment of Adelaide Oval.

Mike Rann: The man who 'saved' Arkaroola Adelaide Now, 4 days ago
In defence, SA secured the contracts to build the Navy's next fleet of submarines and also the air warfare destroyers.
The Government has also championed renewable energy, with SA now generating
more than half the nation's wind power and becoming a leader in solar
power.
But there's been issues too.
Mr Rann has been forced to deny an affair with a former parliamentary waitress and
watched on as his deputy and long-serving treasurer Kevin Foley was twice assaulted.
A Labor MP was also charged with child pornography offences and was suspended
from the ALP while there have also been a simmering row with the union movement over cuts to public sector jobs and conditions.
That
row has characterised the sometimes wider criticism levelled at Mr Rann
and his government, that they don't always listen to the people or
properly consult before
finalising projects or policies.
In a balancing act, the wins probably outweigh the losses, but as Mr Rann suggests,
the final say will be up to others.
"Overall I think that one day people will probably say all of these things were
about a state that's more confident about itself, more outward looking,"
he says.
"That we're a destination again rather than a beloved home town that people
had to leave to find opportunities elsewhere."
More personally, Mr Rann says being the SA Premier has been the
"greatest privilege of my life".
"I wanted to leave the state in better shape than I found it, and I wanted
to leave the party in better shape than when I took over," he says.
"I think on both of those there's big tick."
Mr Rann is expected to officially stand down as premier tomorrow.

We approach every client challenge with a tool box of
resources as every brief is different. The agency uses a process called
‘Evolution’ to navigate, develop and pressure test every communications
plan.
ROI is fundamental in delivery of effective campaigns. Our
strategies are guided by business and consumer insights. Foundation has
invested heavily in consumer research and macro-analytics, which
influence and support our communications planning. We believe better
insight delivers better results.
Having media and creative working together means both disciples feed
of each other and are working on a common strategy. Activating the
opportunity is about bringing the idea to life across multiple channels
cohesively.
Our media planners and buyers are connected through the entire
process and help guide the outcome. They work closely with media owners
and focus on maximising value, whilst reducing the opportunity cost.
Then we learn and refine.

Planning & buying
Some like to separate the planning and buying functions by calling it
communications planning or channel planning and traders or investors.
We simply call it implementation planning.
The two functions are intrinsically linked, we believe in one
cohesive approach with media owners to access every available asset for
the best possible price.
The key reason being that channel mix, media weight and opportunities
to create memorable campaigns are relevant to cost and the key to a
‘win’ negotiation is not to be divided.
Implementation planning represents 80% of delivering a campaign to
market, we place a high importance on it and it’s why we back ourselves
with performance related remuneration structures.

Ombudsman quits over Greens email
by:Phillip Hudson, Matt Johnston
From:Herald Sun
October 21, 2011 1:37AM
Allan Asher admitted his "error of judgment" had damaged the reputation of his office.
The Daily Telegraph
COMMONWEALTH Ombudsman Allan Asher was forced to quit yesterday
after embarrassing revelations he wrote questions for the Greens to ask
him at a parliamentary inquiry.
Mr Asher admitted his "error of judgment" had damaged the
reputation of his office. He resigned from the $380,900-a-year job after
being told he had lost the confidence of Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
He said he deeply regretted his actions and said
his collusion with
Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young
caused the community and politicians
"to call into question
the impartiality of my office".

Commwealth Ombudsman resigns Courier Mail, 1 hour ago
Mr Asher apologised sincerely and said he resigned with "sadness" after
14 months in the job overseeing areas
such as police covert powers,
the immigration detention system
and the treatment of
people with mental illness.
"I do hope that some good will come of this incident
by way of public discussion and debate
about the future funding
and an appropriate accountability mechanism
for the Commonwealth Ombudsman," he said.
Last night he issued a more defiant message to supporters
on Twitter: "Hugely comforted by the good wishes. But I was only doing
my job, which is secure, fair and just treatment
for those the system ignores."
Reports emerged last night that
the Government was also concerned
Mr Asher had offered the Greens
secret briefings on other issues,
including whistleblower legislation.
Ms Gillard said she was "concerned about the conduct of the Ombudsman"
and whether he could stay independent and impartial.
Transport Minister Anthony Albanese said he had "failed".
Greens leader Bob Brown said a decent man
working for the public had been "politically assassinated".
"This unfair, nasty outcome shows that an apology for a mistake,
far from being encouraged as part of political life in Canberra,
will seal your fate," he said.
(right, at this point, I just want to
VOMIT ALL OVER BOB BROWN and
EVERY BLOODY GREENIE WHO KNOWS BETTER,
BUT CHOOSES THE WORST, FOR THEIR OWN EGOS!)
The controversy erupted last week when emails were released
revealing Mr Asher wrote questions for Senator Hanson-Young
to ask him at a parliamentary inquiry.
He had requested a secret meeting with her before the hearing
to discuss his concern there had been no increase in his $22 million budget
despite a dramatic jump in his workload because of the rise in asylum seeker
arrivals.
The Greens have been unrepentant about their role in the saga,
saying the information elicited was in the public interest.
It is common for many MPs to be fed questions from sources
and public servants to ask at committee hearings.
Liberal senator Eric Abetz said
the Greens had shown rank hypocrisy in this case
because they had criticised him in 2009
for asking questions supplied by then public servant
Godwin Grech.

Genesis-Bereshith: In the Beginning
26And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.”
27And Elohim created the man in His image, in the image of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them.
28And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over all creatures moving on the earth.”
29And Elohim said, “See, I have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed, to you it is for food.
30“And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping creature on the earth, in which there is life, every green plant is for food.” And it came to be so. 31And Elohim saw all that He had made, and see, it was very good.
Tzelem Elokim=Humankind as Image of YHWH/God
1: Has Intelligence
2: Has Freewill
3: Has component of Spiritual Being-A Soul
4: HaShem/YHWH Rules the Universe and Spirit World, Humans have dominion over the Lower World.
5: Has the faculty of Judgement
6: Has an inherent Holiness and Dignity
As created in the image of God, humans are endowed with "three intrinsic dignities": infinite value, equality, and uniqueness.
The first means that human life cannot be weighed, measured, or compared in terms of, that is, subordinated to, any other value. In the Kantian Parlance humans are always a goal or end in themselves and never a means to something else.
The second term implies that no person or group is privileged over another. In fact, Idolatry results when a person or group absolutizes itself or its message.
The third idea reinforces the dignity of every human by insisting that each person is irreplaceable and has a special role to play in the redemption of the world.
The Jewish religion is founded on the divine assurance and human belief that the world will be perfected." Judaism engages with and seeks to overcome these realities of history through its notion of covenant. The covenant is that dynamic which God inaugurated in history, that partnership between God and the Jewish people, to achieve the dignities for which all humans were created. Jews are those teachers, models, and co-workers-having both a divine and human partners - whom God designated to help all persons and even nature achieve redemption. For Greenberg, the messianic dream of perfection will not be realized by divine fiat, but by "improving this world, one step at a time."
These understandings of God, humans, and the world are expressed through the Torah and lived-out by the Jewish people through the Holy days and the Halakhah. In this view, Torah is that divine teaching which stands as "the constitution of the ongoing relationship of God and the Jewish people."
This expanded view/articulation of higher values help us to search for YHWHs presence in the secular Realms of Life, some peeps call this: 'Holy Secularism'.
The Covenant is essentially a Divine, Loving, Pedagogic process. As Humans become more competent, YHWH invites them to take up a more active role in the Task of Tikkun Olam/World to Come, as Co-Creators.
The lay people of YHWH/God play a more influential role in discerning Yahwehs purpose and in carrying out His Divine Mandates.
Later, ensuing Historical events reshape understandings of earlier Teachings.
Summarized
We=ALL Living things-creatures-sustained and Nurtured by Yahweh-will fill the World with Life.
* We will reshape the Historical Reality, the Flesh & Blood world we inhabit, to sustain that Life at the highest possible level.
* Life will multiply and triumph Quantitatively over all its enemies; including Entropy, Death, and Disorder.
* Life will equally triumph Qualitatively.
* All of Lifes’ capacities/potentials will be developed fully and realized.
* When Life blossoms to its fullest capacity that treats all Life, especially Human Life-the most developed form-and sustains it with the highest and fullest respect that it deserves, then Life will be in harmony with existence and deeply related to Yahweh, its Source and Sustainer(Natural Laws)
* This is the Jews Story, and by default; the Christians/Xns.
* Telling the Story of Creation is the Jews 'Witness'. The present evidentiary Facts contradict the Narrative fairly substantialy.
* Yet, This Story of Creation is shared by Jews and Christians
* This Story leads Humans to see existence as best they can, from a Cosmic Perspective-Sub Specie Aeternitatis.
* From that Vantage Point there are Three Grand Movements in the unfolding Pattern of the Cosmos
1: The World is moving from Chaos to Order. From the Big Bang, with no Laws of Nature to the regularity of the Life sustaining Laws of Nature.
2: The World is moving from Non-Life to Life. From a State in which no life existed to the emergence of Life. From one cell, untold replications, life has grown Quantitatively, and developed Qualitatively. It has luxuriated and spread into a vast range of forms over and through a variety of sustaining conditions/environments.
* The declaration that Life is growing, moving from non-life to life is counter-intuitive.
Death & Entropy refute that contention.
The 'Key' is YHWH/God-The Hidden, Infinite Source of Life with limitless Goodness, Love and Power that sustains Life and Nurtures every possible Form of Life into Being.
* YHWH, the Divine Source evokes the Third Grand Movement of the Cosmos
3: Life is growing ever more to resemble its Ground: YHWH
Life moves from being less to becoming more and more like Yahweh. The highest form of Life, the Human Being, represents the High Point reached thus far.
In Human Form, life so resembles its Maker that it is called; Biblically; 'The Image of God'
* This emergence of "The Image of God" is the Turning Point in Cosmic History according to Jews & Christians.
Up to that point Life has been sworn to 'Be Fruitful & Multiply' (maximizing reproductive success) through a built-in control Programme-A 'Selfish Gene'- that drives the process.
* The 'Image of God' Consciousness is so much like YHWHs that Humans are able to 'grasp' this overall pattern of which we, ourselves are part, and to join voluntarily in its realization.
* Similarly, the Human 'Image of YHWH/God has a capacity to Love ALL their fellow creatures and every aspect of the Universe, as well as the Maker of it all and the Beauty of the Plan.
* Once Humans understand and embrace this understanding, they will lovingly identify with and willingly participate in the process of Perfection.
* YHWH has invited us, as Humans, The 'Image of God', to enter into a Covenantal Partnership, committed to Love, to join fully in perfecting the Universe.
Tikkun Olam
* The People of Israel joyfully acknowledge that YHWHs first Covenant, the Noahide Covenant, never superseded, is made with ALL Humanity, not exclusively with Jews and/or Christians alone.
* It is made with ALL Sentient Beings.
* ALL Beings are called to recognize and participate in Natures Patterns.
* To accept Limits.
* To Direct their choices and actions in favour of Life.
* To join in working for Order against Chaos.
* We are ALL CHOSEN to become part of the movement from Non-Life to Life.
* We are commanded to increase Life and make it grow ever more like its Maker.
* The purpose of the Religious way of life is to create the nurturing ambience of memory and experience, of relationships and actions that sustain Human growth and turns it towards Yahweh.
* Being in the 'Image of God/YHWH brings with it more God like capacities. It bestows intrinsic Dignity, a climatic extension of that respect to which all of life is entitled.
* The People of Israel hold these Truths to be self-evident: That ALL Humans are created in 'The Image of YHWH/God; and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, among which are:
* Infinite Value
* Equality
* Uniqueness.
These are Birthrights of every Son & Daughter of Yahweh
The Sinai Event was the ultimate Social Engineering event.
The Torah is the first, and oldest Religious Book written in an Alephbet/ Alphabet........this alters the hegemony of the Brain to being left hemispherical centric=Abstract, linear and sequential. the ground for Theoretical Science....
THE UNIVERSAL DESIRE FOR CLOSENESS TO God...AND THE SECRET OF THE SABBATH by Rabbi Chaim Richman
The following teaching from the riches of the Oral Tradition is about a level of understanding the Sabbath which is relevant to Jews and non-Jews alike. It is based on a teaching by Rabbi Chaim ben Atar (1746-1793), known as "the holy Light of Life," based on the title of his most famous work.
I. The World Intuitively Pines for G-d
Man - The Centerpiece of Creation
The created world can be divided into four basic categories: the inanimate, plant, animal, and 'speaking' life - man. Man, the highest level of creation, is the only creature endowed with the capability of speech, and this is what singles him out as a completely separate category - he has the greatest potential to develop a relationship with his Creator. He is the center of creation and its purpose and crowning achievement. For this reason, he was created last, and introduced into the Garden... to enable him to enter into a complete world, ready for him, furnished and equipped in advance to house its illustrious occupant.
Every Level of Creation Possesses a Soul
Man is followed by the members of the animal kingdom. Next in line comes the plant kingdom, and finally, inanimate creation - the lowest level of creation, as exemplified by stone. Even stone, the Torah teaches, possesses some degree of life-force, however weak. For it is impossible for something which the Holy One has created to be incapable of recognizing Him. Therefore, commensurate to that degree of life-force, awareness of the Divine could be said to exist within it...
Desire for Closeness to G-d... The Prime Mover
And so the soul, the essence, of every creature, each according to its level of understanding, has some inkling of the greatness of the Creator, and actually carries on a relationship with Him. This soul is constantly driven with endless passion to come closer to the source of all life, the Great and Perfect Light of the L-rd... how much more so should this be true among the higher, more spiritual elements of creation who understand to some extent what it means to 'cling' to the light of the living G-d.
All of Creation is United in the Desire for Closeness to G-d
Herein lies one of the greatest secrets of creation...
All life on earth... and even the actual physical elements that comprise the planet itself - the entire world as one, including every level of creation, from the lowest level of the inanimate - stones and earth, to the highest and most intelligent life-form, man himself; an endless pageant which spans every creature, plant and animal - all are constantly and inexorably united by an all-consuming, burning desire for G-d. This is the vital force which drives the world; this desire is the power which fuels the universe... it reverberates within the entire life-force, and the whole globe, like a man beating with one heart, knows on the deepest level with absolute clarity that there is nothing as sweet, desirable, and sustaining as 'Dveykut' - the ability to 'cling' close to the light of the Creator. This is the purpose of life itself, and on the deepest collective intuitive level, all are aware that nothing else is worth living for. This longing is itself the vital life-force of everything, and the entire world draws from it at once. In other words, this longing for G-d is what fuels the world to go on.
Because G-d is the Creator of all existence, He maintains an intimate link with each and every creature, regardless of its spiritual capacity. Obviously not all of creation is equal in spiritual sensitivity. Regardless of this, that link of intimate knowledge still exists, according to its degree of conciousness and development.
Three Revolutionary Innovations in Human History took place at Mount Sinai.
1: Abstract Ethical Monotheism
2: Universal Codified Law
3: An Alephbet 1,800 BCE
Abstract Ethical Monotheism rather than Polytheism, Rule of Law for All rather than the Divine Rights of Kings or Queens and an Aleph/Bet, less than thirty characters that replaced Iconographs/Ideograms and Hieroglyphs, enhancing Literacy amongst the masses.
The abstraction of all three innovations were mutually reinforcing.
YHWH/God proclaimed that there exists a Codex of morality that stands above Human intercourse.
The 10 Commandments applied universally to everyone. no King, Pharoah, or Potentate was above the Law.
Refutes the rubric that 'Might makes Right'.
YHWH/God expected all His Chosen People TO READ what He inspired to be written.
The Pentateuch is the oldest Religious Book written in an Alephbet-Alphabet. Prior books were written in Cuneiform, Hieroglyphs etc......
YHWH forbade anyone from visualizing Him. No Images. No Idolatry.
He sanctioned only the written word.
This promulgates equality and openness.
An overarching Theme of the Pentateuch, and ensuing Books of the Bible is: Justice for all.
A distinguishing feature of the Pentateuch from other belief systems of the Time is its dominating Theme of: Righteousness,
Living a pious life and obeying written law was/is more important than winning Battles, honouring the King, or sacrificing to a local god.
Justice for all was a unique community standard in an era when the dominant principle was a raised and clenched fist.
Unlike other ANE Sagas, the Exodus begins with the people shackled slaves.
Unlike other ANE Sagas, Yahweh 'Chose' the people rather than the people choosing their god.
This rediscovery allows each to uncover and affirm each others’ role in the Divine Plan. The Kingdom of Yahweh is advanced and comes closer.
'You are my witnesses says YHWH/God' Isaiah 43:10
The People of Israel are YHWHs Servants, 'Chosen' to witness to the loving Creator and the Divine Plan for Humanity and the Cosmos.
The People of Israel = not just the Israelis, or Jews, but to all who affirm that Yahweh has made a valid Covenant with Abraham and his descendants and all who take up the task of World Redemption so that the covenant can be fulfilled.
For that is the purpose of making the covenant.
Xns and Muslims are recognized as Abrahams children when they purge themselves of Supersessionist claims and hatred of Jews.
To be True to its Witness, the People of Israel tell 3 Stories to the World, the rest of Humanity, in the presence of Yahweh and in the presence of their fellow Humans.
1: They tell the Story of Creation, the Divine Vision of an intended perfect World. Jew & Xn stake their existence that this World will come to be.
2: The Story of the Covenant, the process operating between a Divine-Human partnership whereby our imperfect World will be brought back to that state of Perfection.
3: The Story of Redemption-sometimes called: 'The End of Days'-'The Messiah Story'-which is the culmination and realization of the process.
At the end, Holistic perfection will be achieved.
Peace between Humans.
Between Humans and all the rest of Life, between all Life and Nature itself, and between all of the above and Yahweh.
Three Stories add up to one comprehensive Story: The Triumph of Life
Before Monotheism there had never been Religious Warfare.
The Polytheistic Cultures were live and let live about other culture Deities and often borrowed and share aspects.
The Polytheistic Deities were usually Local Deities, not Universe/Worldwide.
Polytheist had National gods, Local gods, family gods and personal gods, even their pet animals had gods.
Abstract Ethical Monotheism was a Major Advance along the road to Enlightenment, but came at a high cost.
Abstract Ethical Monotheism encouraged people to think in new ways. An Abstract Ethical Monotheistic Creator Being not tied to a concrete Image/Picture is a very Abstract Concept..
Abstraction is a crucial component of Logical Reasoning and its use can liberate people from superstition.
Devotion to an Abstract Deity has a Heavy price.
If everyone agrees there is only one, true, Living Creator Being, and different groups conceive of it in different ways, then whose perception of that Deity is the correct one?
Examine each groups’ values and praxis.
Different perceptions have inspired some groups to wage war and engage in forced conversions.
This never occurred in Polytheistic Cultures.
They had many wars but for the usual mundane reasons, Land, Treasure, Women, Power over others for the sake of Power alone, but they never waged Religious War.
One effect of an Alphabetic based Abstract Ethical Monotheism is the brain is using a new abstract, linear, sequential, and reductionist means of communication which moves people who learn it and use it into a Left Brain, Masculine Mode, rather than the usual Pictographic, Feminine Right Brain Mode.
The Aleph/Alphabet subliminally coaxes users to be intolerant of other Iconic Systems of Beliefs.
This is illuminated in the Ten Commandments.
As stated before, Judaism is the first religion to be based upon universal literacy, the written word.
When Moses came down from his meet and greet with YHWH on the mountain, the multitude had fashioned an Idol/Golden Calf, this so upset Moses he dropped the two stone Tablets upon which YHWH/God had written the ten commandments.
Allegorically: In the first confrontation between Image and Written Word, both were destroyed.
As the story goes, Moses returned to the Mountain Top and Yahweh provided him with another set.
The 10 Commandments; The first four Commandments are for the Recognition and service/Worship of YHWH/God, the remaining six focus on our fellow humans, loving and serving them.
The Commandment to Honour Both Father and Mother elevates and recognizes the importance and status of Women in the Family Group.
Love your neighbour is not one of the Ten but appears in the Torah/Instruction, Leviticus 19:18.
The last six commandments are not unusual, and found in other Codices of Laws, The First four Commandments are Unique.
Each one of the first four commandments encourages Alphabetic Literacy by rejecting the Right Brains way of 'knowing'.
One effect of a new, abstract, linear, sequential and reductionist means of communication moves people who learn it into a Left Brain, Masculine Mode.
Social Engineering.
The Ethics they embody are more sophisticated than other contemporary Ancient Near East Cultures.
The First Commandment:
20:2 I am Yahweh thy Elohim, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
20:3 Thou shall have no other elohim before me.
In one fell swoop demoted all other elohim/gods & goddesses to nothings.
Nothing personal, it was business.
The Meta-Message of the First Commandment is that Yahweh is the Master of the Universe, He is self-existent, and all other elohim/gods & goddesses are created beings, subservient to Him.
Psalm 82
82:1 Yahweh stands in the congregation of El; he judges among the elohim.
82:2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
82:6 I have said, You are elohim; and all of you are children of the most High.
82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
82:8 Arise, O Yahweh, judge the earth: for thou shall inherit all nations.
All of Yahwehs’ Titles are masculine.
The First Commandment is a radical break with the Hebrews past environment. Moses and the Hebrews had left Egypt which was Polytheistic, alot of gods and goddesses worship.
Yahweh declares there is no worship of other gods or goddesses.
Perhaps the most radical sentence ever written.
The Second Commandment:
20:4 Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I; Yahweh thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
No Graven Images, Icons or Idols, Statues.
Learning to think without Images is indispensable to Alphabetic Literacy. The Power formerly rendered to Images/Pictures is now transferred to the written word.
Make no Graven Images is a ban/restraint on Right Brain Pattern Recognition.
The Third Commandment:
20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of Yahweh thy Elohim in vain; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Do not use Yahwehs Name vainly, with Malintent. Again; Left Brain.
Yahwehs first instruction to adam isto Name all the critters. Through Naming, Adam attains dominion over all the Earth. Naming confers meaning and order, moving Life from Chaos to Order.
To Name is to know, to know is to control. Order out of Chaos.
The Fourth Commandment:
20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
20:10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
20:11 For in six days made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Seven Days are not a Natural Break Point in any of Earths Major Natural Rhythmic Cycles-Lunar-Solar, except the Quarter Moon.
This facilitates the learning of Arithmetic.
Leviticus 25:3-10 is about the Jubilee Years, the 50th,
No other Ancient Near East culture at that time had instructed the general population to compute complex time periods, this had formerly been the domain of the Priestly Castes.
The Time Commandment lays the foundation for the concept of Justice, a well developed sense of Linear Time is necessary to conceive of Punishment delayed and Rewards postponed.
Non-Literate Cultures are not as pre-occupied with the notion/concept of Justice as the Literate, because they do not conceive of time only as linear.
Non-Literate Societies tend to think of death as a passage to another World, not as a Day in Court.
Alphabets stretch out the sense of Time and make possible the awareness of the possibility of a retribution Time in the distant future.
A Judgement Day only occurs in Literate Cultures.
Alphabet Literate Cultures became aware of writing History in a Linear, Chronological sequencing of Events.
The fourth Commandments Mechanical/Sociological ramifications is instructing people to be aware of Passing Time.
This was the advent of the seven day week, and a day off every week.
A day off for ALL Humans, Free and Bond, and ALL Beasts of Burden one day a week and the Farmland to lay fallow every seven years to rejuvinate the enzymes in the ground.
This led to Sundials, waterclocks, Pendulums, Escape Mechanisms, Cogs, Gears, Calenders.
Time is a key function of the Left Brain.
Each of the First Four Commandments trains people in the ability to: Think Abstractly, linearly and sequentially.
Collectively, they produce a Mindset that enhances the use and facility of Alphabetic Literacy.
This Technology welded the small group into a cohesive and coherent Nation/Culture.
What occurred at/in Sinai was unique, the Authority of the Written Word superseded the authority of the Image.
Reiterating the Revolutionary Innovations that occurred at Mount Sinai:
1: Abstract Ethical Monotheism emerged,
2:Universal Codified Laws establishing Moral Ethics
3: The Alephbet-Proto Alphabet emerged. The Hebrews reduced thosands of Images/Hieroglyphs/Petroglyphs/Ideograms/Pictograms into two dozen Characters, enabling Universal Literacy
For the first time ever, Religion demanded the follower be Literate. It is Commanded the Fathers obtain Scrolls of the Torah and teach them to their children.
Moses Commanded; Thou shall read the Law before all Israel Deut-31:10,11
The Reading of the Torah remains the most sacred obligation of every Jew.
Yahweh was concerned, unlike other gods, about the actions of everyone of His people.
Yahweh actually cares.
If someone was cheating/exploiting widows and orphans, mistreating strangers and slaves.etc.......YHWH knew and became wrathful.
The polytheistic gods did not.
Yahweh in His written Laws provided preventive Medicine, unknown to Egypt and Mesopotamia.
He explicitly spelled out in excruciating detail and minutia exactly what He expected from each and every Israelite.
Each Israelite established a personal relationship with Yahweh.
All of Yahwehs Laws were written down and everybody knew them.
It was an absolute Judaic condition that every male was literate.
Ignorance of the Law was no defence.
The Hebrews were the first culture to universally embrace Alphabetic writing, the Torah is the first/oldest Religious Book written in an Alphabet.
The 10 Commandments were transmitted in a written Alephbetic form; Paleo-Hebrew.
Abstract letters/grammatical sequence/uniconsonantal phenomes.
The Alephbet/Alphabet introduced and enabled the possibility of Universal Literacy
So once upon a time in the Sinai Desert a radical new communication technology emerged that would forever change cultural perceptions and that the first people to utilize it would introduce fundamental principles and features underpinning Western Civilisation.
Historical Data: Proto-Sinaitic Alephbet=precursor of the Alphabet.
Discovered by Sir William Flinders Petrie, very early 20th century. Dated to: 1,800 BCE
Egyptian Coptic 2,000 years later/after
Tell el Armana Cache Phoenician 1,450 BCE letters from Canaanite Leaders to Akhenaton were scribed in Cuneiform
Akkadian Cuneiform in usage after Sumerian Conquest.
An amazing vortex of Science and History occurred in the Sinai that the worlds’ oldest alphabet was found where the Hebrew Nation had their seminal experience.
Yet another Unique Concept brought forth at Mount Sinai is the Concept of Free Will.
Throughout the Ancient Near East, Babylon, Egypt etc......humans 'believed their fate, destiny was in the hands of the gods.
The Sinaitic Covenant convinced the Israelites that every decision was theirs to make: Choose Life or Choose Death.
The choice between Right and Wrong was upon the individual. This beget the concept of Guilt, 'Guilty Conscious'; an internal Quality Control.
Moral Relativists may consider this an ambiguous area, but is it really?
Bottom Line of what occurred at Sinai, those many years ago, the Power that once had been given to pictures was transferred to written words.
The Power of the Right Brain was Transferred to the Left Brain.
The Alephbet/Alphabet is the Bibles Eminence Grise-The unsuspected power.
Superorganisms/memes compete, as one Entelechy rises, others fall.
Of all the Ancient Near East Superorganisms/Memes, only the Jews have survivied.
Alphabetic Literacy profoundly reconfigured the relationship between the Hebrews and their Deity and between the Hebrews and their neighbours. The other ANE cultures.
The Jews have an unshakable faith.
The Religious beliefs of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Hittites, Hyskos, Hurrians, Cretans, Mittani, Assyrians, Persians, Canaanites, Ugarites, Akkadians, Egyptians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Philistines, and Roman Belief Systems have diminished greatly and most have disappeared.
The Hebrew Faith has withstood the Viscitudes of times, surviving catastrophes that should have extinguished them.
26And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.”
27And Elohim created the man in His image, in the image of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them.
28And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over all creatures moving on the earth.”
29And Elohim said, “See, I have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed, to you it is for food.
30“And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping creature on the earth, in which there is life, every green plant is for food.” And it came to be so. 31And Elohim saw all that He had made, and see, it was very good.

The lay people of YHWH/God play a more influential role in discerning Yahwehs purpose and in carrying out His Divine Mandates.

* The People of Israel joyfully acknowledge that YHWHs first Covenant, the Noahide Covenant, never superseded, is made with ALL Humanity, not exclusively with Jews and/or Christians alone.
* It is made with ALL Sentient Beings.
* ALL Beings are called to recognize and participate in Natures Patterns.
* To accept Limits.
* To Direct their choices and actions in favour of Life.
* To join in working for Order against Chaos.
* We are ALL CHOSEN to become part of the movement from Non-Life to Life.
* We are commanded to increase Life and make it grow ever more like its Maker.
* The purpose of the Religious way of life is to create the nurturing ambience of memory and experience, of relationships and actions that sustain Human growth and turns it towards Yahweh.
* Being in the 'Image of God/YHWH brings with it more God like capacities. It bestows intrinsic Dignity, a climatic extension of that respect to which all of life is entitled.
* The People of Israel hold these Truths to be self-evident: That ALL Humans are created in 'The Image of YHWH/God; and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, among which are:
* Infinite Value
* Equality
* Uniqueness.
These are Birthrights of every Son & Daughter of Yahweh
The Sinai Event was the ultimate Social Engineering event.
The Torah is the first, and oldest Religious Book written in an Alephbet/ Alphabet........this alters the hegemony of the Brain to being left hemispherical centric=Abstract, linear and sequential. the ground for Theoretical Science....
THE UNIVERSAL DESIRE FOR CLOSENESS TO God...AND THE SECRET OF THE SABBATH by Rabbi Chaim Richman
The following teaching from the riches of the Oral Tradition is about a level of understanding the Sabbath which is relevant to Jews and non-Jews alike. It is based on a teaching by Rabbi Chaim ben Atar (1746-1793), known as "the holy Light of Life," based on the title of his most famous work.
I. The World Intuitively Pines for G-d
Man - The Centerpiece of Creation
The created world can be divided into four basic categories: the inanimate, plant, animal, and 'speaking' life - man. Man, the highest level of creation, is the only creature endowed with the capability of speech, and this is what singles him out as a completely separate category - he has the greatest potential to develop a relationship with his Creator. He is the center of creation and its purpose and crowning achievement. For this reason, he was created last, and introduced into the Garden... to enable him to enter into a complete world, ready for him, furnished and equipped in advance to house its illustrious occupant.
Every Level of Creation Possesses a Soul
Man is followed by the members of the animal kingdom. Next in line comes the plant kingdom, and finally, inanimate creation - the lowest level of creation, as exemplified by stone. Even stone, the Torah teaches, possesses some degree of life-force, however weak. For it is impossible for something which the Holy One has created to be incapable of recognizing Him. Therefore, commensurate to that degree of life-force, awareness of the Divine could be said to exist within it...
Desire for Closeness to G-d... The Prime Mover
And so the soul, the essence, of every creature, each according to its level of understanding, has some inkling of the greatness of the Creator, and actually carries on a relationship with Him. This soul is constantly driven with endless passion to come closer to the source of all life, the Great and Perfect Light of the L-rd... how much more so should this be true among the higher, more spiritual elements of creation who understand to some extent what it means to 'cling' to the light of the living G-d.
All of Creation is United in the Desire for Closeness to G-d
Herein lies one of the greatest secrets of creation...
All life on earth... and even the actual physical elements that comprise the planet itself - the entire world as one, including every level of creation, from the lowest level of the inanimate - stones and earth, to the highest and most intelligent life-form, man himself; an endless pageant which spans every creature, plant and animal - all are constantly and inexorably united by an all-consuming, burning desire for G-d. This is the vital force which drives the world; this desire is the power which fuels the universe... it reverberates within the entire life-force, and the whole globe, like a man beating with one heart, knows on the deepest level with absolute clarity that there is nothing as sweet, desirable, and sustaining as 'Dveykut' - the ability to 'cling' close to the light of the Creator. This is the purpose of life itself, and on the deepest collective intuitive level, all are aware that nothing else is worth living for. This longing is itself the vital life-force of everything, and the entire world draws from it at once. In other words, this longing for G-d is what fuels the world to go on.
Because G-d is the Creator of all existence, He maintains an intimate link with each and every creature, regardless of its spiritual capacity. Obviously not all of creation is equal in spiritual sensitivity. Regardless of this, that link of intimate knowledge still exists, according to its degree of conciousness and development.
Three Revolutionary Innovations in Human History took place at Mount Sinai.
1: Abstract Ethical Monotheism
2: Universal Codified Law
3: An Alephbet 1,800 BCE
Abstract Ethical Monotheism rather than Polytheism, Rule of Law for All rather than the Divine Rights of Kings or Queens and an Aleph/Bet, less than thirty characters that replaced Iconographs/Ideograms and Hieroglyphs, enhancing Literacy amongst the masses.
The abstraction of all three innovations were mutually reinforcing.
YHWH/God proclaimed that there exists a Codex of morality that stands above Human intercourse.
The 10 Commandments applied universally to everyone. no King, Pharoah, or Potentate was above the Law.
Refutes the rubric that 'Might makes Right'.
YHWH/God expected all His Chosen People TO READ what He inspired to be written.
The Pentateuch is the oldest Religious Book written in an Alephbet-Alphabet. Prior books were written in Cuneiform, Hieroglyphs etc......
YHWH forbade anyone from visualizing Him. No Images. No Idolatry.
He sanctioned only the written word.
This promulgates equality and openness.
An overarching Theme of the Pentateuch, and ensuing Books of the Bible is: Justice for all.
A distinguishing feature of the Pentateuch from other belief systems of the Time is its dominating Theme of: Righteousness,
Living a pious life and obeying written law was/is more important than winning Battles, honouring the King, or sacrificing to a local god.
Justice for all was a unique community standard in an era when the dominant principle was a raised and clenched fist.
Unlike other ANE Sagas, the Exodus begins with the people shackled slaves.
Unlike other ANE Sagas, Yahweh 'Chose' the people rather than the people choosing their god.
This rediscovery allows each to uncover and affirm each others’ role in the Divine Plan. The Kingdom of Yahweh is advanced and comes closer.
'You are my witnesses says YHWH/God' Isaiah 43:10
The People of Israel are YHWHs Servants, 'Chosen' to witness to the loving Creator and the Divine Plan for Humanity and the Cosmos.
The People of Israel = not just the Israelis, or Jews, but to all who affirm that Yahweh has made a valid Covenant with Abraham and his descendants and all who take up the task of World Redemption so that the covenant can be fulfilled.
For that is the purpose of making the covenant.
Xns and Muslims are recognized as Abrahams children when they purge themselves of Supersessionist claims and hatred of Jews.
To be True to its Witness, the People of Israel tell 3 Stories to the World, the rest of Humanity, in the presence of Yahweh and in the presence of their fellow Humans.
1: They tell the Story of Creation, the Divine Vision of an intended perfect World. Jew & Xn stake their existence that this World will come to be.
2: The Story of the Covenant, the process operating between a Divine-Human partnership whereby our imperfect World will be brought back to that state of Perfection.
3: The Story of Redemption-sometimes called: 'The End of Days'-'The Messiah Story'-which is the culmination and realization of the process.
At the end, Holistic perfection will be achieved.
Peace between Humans.
Between Humans and all the rest of Life, between all Life and Nature itself, and between all of the above and Yahweh.
Three Stories add up to one comprehensive Story: The Triumph of Life
Before Monotheism there had never been Religious Warfare.
The Polytheistic Cultures were live and let live about other culture Deities and often borrowed and share aspects.
The Polytheistic Deities were usually Local Deities, not Universe/Worldwide.
Polytheist had National gods, Local gods, family gods and personal gods, even their pet animals had gods.
Abstract Ethical Monotheism was a Major Advance along the road to Enlightenment, but came at a high cost.
Abstract Ethical Monotheism encouraged people to think in new ways. An Abstract Ethical Monotheistic Creator Being not tied to a concrete Image/Picture is a very Abstract Concept..
Abstraction is a crucial component of Logical Reasoning and its use can liberate people from superstition.
Devotion to an Abstract Deity has a Heavy price.
If everyone agrees there is only one, true, Living Creator Being, and different groups conceive of it in different ways, then whose perception of that Deity is the correct one?
Examine each groups’ values and praxis.
Different perceptions have inspired some groups to wage war and engage in forced conversions.
This never occurred in Polytheistic Cultures.
They had many wars but for the usual mundane reasons, Land, Treasure, Women, Power over others for the sake of Power alone, but they never waged Religious War.
One effect of an Alphabetic based Abstract Ethical Monotheism is the brain is using a new abstract, linear, sequential, and reductionist means of communication which moves people who learn it and use it into a Left Brain, Masculine Mode, rather than the usual Pictographic, Feminine Right Brain Mode.
The Aleph/Alphabet subliminally coaxes users to be intolerant of other Iconic Systems of Beliefs.
This is illuminated in the Ten Commandments.
As stated before, Judaism is the first religion to be based upon universal literacy, the written word.
When Moses came down from his meet and greet with YHWH on the mountain, the multitude had fashioned an Idol/Golden Calf, this so upset Moses he dropped the two stone Tablets upon which YHWH/God had written the ten commandments.
Allegorically: In the first confrontation between Image and Written Word, both were destroyed.
As the story goes, Moses returned to the Mountain Top and Yahweh provided him with another set.
The 10 Commandments; The first four Commandments are for the Recognition and service/Worship of YHWH/God, the remaining six focus on our fellow humans, loving and serving them.
The Commandment to Honour Both Father and Mother elevates and recognizes the importance and status of Women in the Family Group.
Love your neighbour is not one of the Ten but appears in the Torah/Instruction, Leviticus 19:18.
The last six commandments are not unusual, and found in other Codices of Laws, The First four Commandments are Unique.
Each one of the first four commandments encourages Alphabetic Literacy by rejecting the Right Brains way of 'knowing'.
One effect of a new, abstract, linear, sequential and reductionist means of communication moves people who learn it into a Left Brain, Masculine Mode.
Social Engineering.
The Ethics they embody are more sophisticated than other contemporary Ancient Near East Cultures.
The First Commandment:
20:2 I am Yahweh thy Elohim, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
20:3 Thou shall have no other elohim before me.
In one fell swoop demoted all other elohim/gods & goddesses to nothings.
Nothing personal, it was business.
The Meta-Message of the First Commandment is that Yahweh is the Master of the Universe, He is self-existent, and all other elohim/gods & goddesses are created beings, subservient to Him.
Psalm 82
82:1 Yahweh stands in the congregation of El; he judges among the elohim.
82:2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
82:6 I have said, You are elohim; and all of you are children of the most High.
82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
82:8 Arise, O Yahweh, judge the earth: for thou shall inherit all nations.
All of Yahwehs’ Titles are masculine.
The First Commandment is a radical break with the Hebrews past environment. Moses and the Hebrews had left Egypt which was Polytheistic, alot of gods and goddesses worship.
Yahweh declares there is no worship of other gods or goddesses.
Perhaps the most radical sentence ever written.
The Second Commandment:
20:4 Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I; Yahweh thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
No Graven Images, Icons or Idols, Statues.
Learning to think without Images is indispensable to Alphabetic Literacy. The Power formerly rendered to Images/Pictures is now transferred to the written word.
Make no Graven Images is a ban/restraint on Right Brain Pattern Recognition.
The Third Commandment:
20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of Yahweh thy Elohim in vain; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Do not use Yahwehs Name vainly, with Malintent. Again; Left Brain.
Yahwehs first instruction to adam isto Name all the critters. Through Naming, Adam attains dominion over all the Earth. Naming confers meaning and order, moving Life from Chaos to Order.
To Name is to know, to know is to control. Order out of Chaos.
The Fourth Commandment:
20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
20:10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
20:11 For in six days made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Seven Days are not a Natural Break Point in any of Earths Major Natural Rhythmic Cycles-Lunar-Solar, except the Quarter Moon.
This facilitates the learning of Arithmetic.
Leviticus 25:3-10 is about the Jubilee Years, the 50th,
No other Ancient Near East culture at that time had instructed the general population to compute complex time periods, this had formerly been the domain of the Priestly Castes.
The Time Commandment lays the foundation for the concept of Justice, a well developed sense of Linear Time is necessary to conceive of Punishment delayed and Rewards postponed.
Non-Literate Cultures are not as pre-occupied with the notion/concept of Justice as the Literate, because they do not conceive of time only as linear.
Non-Literate Societies tend to think of death as a passage to another World, not as a Day in Court.
Alphabets stretch out the sense of Time and make possible the awareness of the possibility of a retribution Time in the distant future.
A Judgement Day only occurs in Literate Cultures.
Alphabet Literate Cultures became aware of writing History in a Linear, Chronological sequencing of Events.
The fourth Commandments Mechanical/Sociological ramifications is instructing people to be aware of Passing Time.
This was the advent of the seven day week, and a day off every week.
A day off for ALL Humans, Free and Bond, and ALL Beasts of Burden one day a week and the Farmland to lay fallow every seven years to rejuvinate the enzymes in the ground.
This led to Sundials, waterclocks, Pendulums, Escape Mechanisms, Cogs, Gears, Calenders.
Time is a key function of the Left Brain.
Each of the First Four Commandments trains people in the ability to: Think Abstractly, linearly and sequentially.
Collectively, they produce a Mindset that enhances the use and facility of Alphabetic Literacy.
This Technology welded the small group into a cohesive and coherent Nation/Culture.
What occurred at/in Sinai was unique, the Authority of the Written Word superseded the authority of the Image.
Reiterating the Revolutionary Innovations that occurred at Mount Sinai:
1: Abstract Ethical Monotheism emerged,
2:Universal Codified Laws establishing Moral Ethics
3: The Alephbet-Proto Alphabet emerged. The Hebrews reduced thosands of Images/Hieroglyphs/Petroglyphs/Ideograms/Pictograms into two dozen Characters, enabling Universal Literacy
For the first time ever, Religion demanded the follower be Literate. It is Commanded the Fathers obtain Scrolls of the Torah and teach them to their children.
Moses Commanded; Thou shall read the Law before all Israel Deut-31:10,11
The Reading of the Torah remains the most sacred obligation of every Jew.
Yahweh was concerned, unlike other gods, about the actions of everyone of His people.
Yahweh actually cares.
If someone was cheating/exploiting widows and orphans, mistreating strangers and slaves.etc.......YHWH knew and became wrathful.
The polytheistic gods did not.
Yahweh in His written Laws provided preventive Medicine, unknown to Egypt and Mesopotamia.
He explicitly spelled out in excruciating detail and minutia exactly what He expected from each and every Israelite.
Each Israelite established a personal relationship with Yahweh.
All of Yahwehs Laws were written down and everybody knew them.
It was an absolute Judaic condition that every male was literate.
Ignorance of the Law was no defence.
The Hebrews were the first culture to universally embrace Alphabetic writing, the Torah is the first/oldest Religious Book written in an Alphabet.
The 10 Commandments were transmitted in a written Alephbetic form; Paleo-Hebrew.
Abstract letters/grammatical sequence/uniconsonantal phenomes.
The Alephbet/Alphabet introduced and enabled the possibility of Universal Literacy
So once upon a time in the Sinai Desert a radical new communication technology emerged that would forever change cultural perceptions and that the first people to utilize it would introduce fundamental principles and features underpinning Western Civilisation.
Historical Data: Proto-Sinaitic Alephbet=precursor of the Alphabet.
Discovered by Sir William Flinders Petrie, very early 20th century. Dated to: 1,800 BCE
Egyptian Coptic 2,000 years later/after
Tell el Armana Cache Phoenician 1,450 BCE letters from Canaanite Leaders to Akhenaton were scribed in Cuneiform
Akkadian Cuneiform in usage after Sumerian Conquest.
An amazing vortex of Science and History occurred in the Sinai that the worlds’ oldest alphabet was found where the Hebrew Nation had their seminal experience.
Yet another Unique Concept brought forth at Mount Sinai is the Concept of Free Will.
Throughout the Ancient Near East, Babylon, Egypt etc......humans 'believed their fate, destiny was in the hands of the gods.
The Sinaitic Covenant convinced the Israelites that every decision was theirs to make: Choose Life or Choose Death.
The choice between Right and Wrong was upon the individual. This beget the concept of Guilt, 'Guilty Conscious'; an internal Quality Control.
Moral Relativists may consider this an ambiguous area, but is it really?
Bottom Line of what occurred at Sinai, those many years ago, the Power that once had been given to pictures was transferred to written words.
The Power of the Right Brain was Transferred to the Left Brain.
The Alephbet/Alphabet is the Bibles Eminence Grise-The unsuspected power.
Superorganisms/memes compete, as one Entelechy rises, others fall.
Of all the Ancient Near East Superorganisms/Memes, only the Jews have survivied.
Alphabetic Literacy profoundly reconfigured the relationship between the Hebrews and their Deity and between the Hebrews and their neighbours. The other ANE cultures.
The Jews have an unshakable faith.
The Religious beliefs of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Hittites, Hyskos, Hurrians, Cretans, Mittani, Assyrians, Persians, Canaanites, Ugarites, Akkadians, Egyptians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Philistines, and Roman Belief Systems have diminished greatly and most have disappeared.
The Hebrew Faith has withstood the Viscitudes of times, surviving catastrophes that should have extinguished them.

OUTGOING South Australian Premier Mike Rann says it's up to others to judge him.
But the man often dubbed "media Mike" is not shy about listing his government's achievements since coming to office in 2002.
By any measure it's a reasonably impressive list.
In recent weeks the premier has signed-off on the banning of mining in the
environmentally-sensitive Arkaroola Sanctuary in the Flinders Ranges
and also the deal to have BHP Billiton spend $30 billion expanding the
Olympic Dam copper and uranium mine.
Over the past decade it has
also increased spending on health and education, opening new schools and
employing more doctors and nurses.
It has also built a desalination plant, started construction on a new central hospital and
approved the major redevelopment of Adelaide Oval.

Mike Rann: The man who 'saved' Arkaroola Adelaide Now, 4 days ago
In defence, SA secured the contracts to build the Navy's next fleet of submarines
and also the air warfare destroyers.
The Government has also championed renewable energy,
with SA now generating more than half the nation's wind power
and becoming a leader in solar power.
But there's been issues too.
Mr Rann has been forced to deny an affair with a former parliamentary waitress and
watched on as his deputy and long-serving treasurer Kevin Foley was twice assaulted.
A Labor MP was also charged with child pornography offences and was suspended
from the ALP while there have also been a simmering row with the union movement
over cuts to public sector jobs and conditions.
That row has characterised the sometimes wider criticism levelled at Mr Rann
and his government, that they don't always listen to the people or
properly consult before finalising projects or policies.
In a balancing act, the wins probably outweigh the losses, but as Mr Rann suggests,
the final say will be up to others.
"Overall I think that one day people will probably say all of these things were
about a state that's more confident about itself, more outward looking,"
he says.
"That we're a destination again rather than a beloved home town that people
had to leave to find opportunities elsewhere."
More personally, Mr Rann says being the SA Premier has been the

Foundation media agency
Foundation is a media activation company.
We believe in the power of an idea and bringing it to
life. Foundation's activation model delivers complete campaigns,
however our point of difference is that we are media led. This model
allows us to take ownership of the entire campaign delivery and
introduce specialist services as needed.
Our mantra is creating opportunity.
This forms the Foundation of our thinking.

Services
We approach every client challenge with a tool box of
resources as every brief is different. The agency uses a process called
‘Evolution’ to navigate, develop and pressure test every communications
plan.
ROI is fundamental in delivery of effective campaigns. Our
strategies are guided by business and consumer insights. Foundation has
invested heavily in consumer research and macro-analytics, which
influence and support our communications planning. We believe better
insight delivers better results.
Having media and creative working together means both disciples feed
of each other and are working on a common strategy. Activating the
opportunity is about bringing the idea to life across multiple channels
cohesively.
Our media planners and buyers are connected through the entire
process and help guide the outcome. They work closely with media owners
and focus on maximising value, whilst reducing the opportunity cost.
Then we learn and refine.
services
Planning & buying
Some like to separate the planning and buying functions by calling it
communications planning or channel planning and traders or investors.
We simply call it implementation planning.
The two functions are intrinsically linked, we believe in one
cohesive approach with media owners to access every available asset for
the best possible price.
The key reason being that channel mix, media weight and opportunities
to create memorable campaigns are relevant to cost and the key to a
‘win’ negotiation is not to be divided.
Implementation planning represents 80% of delivering a campaign to
market, we place a high importance on it and it’s why we back ourselves
with performance related remuneration structures.

Commonwealth Ombudsman to resign
From: AAP
October 20, 2011 12:54AM
COMMONWEALTH Ombudsman Allan Asher
is set to announce his resignation after admitting
he wrote questions for a Greens senator
to ask him in a Senate committee hearing.
Fairfax reports the Gillard government has made it clear it had
lost confidence in Mr Asher because he penned questions about
under-funding for Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young
to ask him in a senate committee hearing in May.
It said Mr Asher has met with Special Minister of State Gary Gray
to discuss his conduct where it was obvious relations between him
and the government were beyond repair.
On Monday, Mr Asher apologised to a Senate estimates committee for his
behaviour at an earlier hearing, saying it had been mistaken and he was
deeply sorry.
The paper said that while it would take a parliamentary vote to dismiss Mr Asher,
he was ready to step aside today in the face of the government's attitude.

I like my enemies doing stupid things like that,not to some,that I converse with,cause I like it at times.
There is absolutely nothing on Web Anarchy that would corrupt your windows.

Have you ever stopped to think Tintin never and did'nt want me to speak up for him.He was just an example of your lies that I used.I did'nt read Tintin's thread until you framed him for all and sundry,so I researched him abit,when he was attacked by you and others,he seemed quite balanced and called for calm amongst his supporters and his foes...very balanced person in my opinion.He does'nt want my foul mouthed shenanigans speaking for him.I'll leave that to you.
