Six Sentence Story: Poof, The Controversy

Not everyone at the University of Noital ate Apple Poof Delight although given the sales data you’d think everyone owned a stake in the company. Regardless of the sales data, there was an array of conspiracy theorists and trouble makers who didn’t mind telling you – contrary to official denials – that poof was being dispersed surreptitiously by the government into the environment.

As counter measures to these rebels, researchers at the Noital Institute of Psycho Sociology applied for and were awarded grants to document the disastrous consequences of not accepting officially approved reality.

To counter fears that might be raised by the dissidents running their mouths – and they took every opportunity to do so – experiments were conducted at the prestigious Noital Medical Facility that were designed to confirm, beyond the shadow of decent doubt, that clear genetic damage could be done to one’s mental faculties if one did NOT eat – daily – a full serving from the poof food group.

To keep the conspiracy theorists from detecting much of anything, engineers from the Noital School of Science, Engineering and Advanced Nescience did their part to improve mechanisms to hide the trails left when packets of poof were dispersed to pollute the air, water and soil making sure everyone – including those pesky dissidents – got a healthy dose of it.

I asked one normally outspoken rebel who irrationally refused to ever – willingly – put poof in his mouth the clear and reasonable question – Why not? – but all he did was give me a look as if he thought the insanity of humanity had reached a level not seen before in human history little realizing that the sanity level had never been very high to begin with.

  1. First and foremost Rule #1. Both the T’NaCH and Talmud teach Torah common law. Modern Hebrew employs תקדים\תקדימים  as the translation for precedent(s).  Other Hebrew that you might have heard, I tend to doubt it, in Yeshiva:   הלכה פסוקה .  The Torah specifically states the precondition for eyewitness testimony in court cases both  דני ממון ודני נפשות. 

    Another example: אין לדיין אלא מה שעיניו רואות.   Now compare eyewitness testimony to  נצב התורה על ידי ראיות.  Now turn to the Siddur and the 13 rules of Rabbi Yishmael.  These rules function as a logical corollary to Rabbi Akiva’s kabbalah of פרדס logic. It truly bothers me that your Yeshiva rabbis never refer to the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev, 40 days after the Sin of the Golden Calf\substitution theology wherein the ערב רב שאין להם יראת שמים attempted to introduce a translation of the שם השם לשמה (((That’s how the first Sinai commandment qualifies as a Torah commandment in the first place! All other Torah commandments: Do a person of the Chosen Cohen people do mitzvot לשמה או לא לשמה? Hence the 1st Sinai commandment: the Greatest most important commandment in the whole of the Torah.)))

    Yeshiva rabbis who fail to teach T’NaCH and Talmud as common law directly compare to the ערב רב שאין להם יראת שמים. Yeshivot produce “suits”, uniforms, styles in how to wear ones’ socks! Fancy Fur Burgers they wear on their Heads. The Yiddish term קאפוטע the common garb of the ultra-orthodox in Israel.  But the Torah does not address these archaic European nonsense foreign imported cultures and customs which Orthodox Judaism has religified.   

    Your father learned and became a Torah educator.  The modern “Wilderness generation” of the 1920s & 30s, cowardly refused to make aliyah to the Palestine mandate.   Chaim Weizmann made the statement “Jews of the world – Where are you?” in 1936.  Three years later, the criminal coward in 10 Downing Street Chamberlain imposed the 2nd White Paper which barred Palestine as a refuge for Jews seeking to flee from the European barbarians.  The “precedent” of the British White Paper of 1939 directly influenced the decision made by President FDR to close all US borders to Jews attempting to flee from the Nazi Shoah!

    Chaim Weizmann’s lamentation, “Jews of the world – Where are you?” reflects his deep concern regarding the Jewish diaspora’s response to the opportunities presented by the League of Nations’ Palestine mandate. He expressed frustration over the limited Jewish immigration (aliyah) to Palestine, especially in the context of rising anti-Semitism in Europe during the 1930s.

    Hence it appears a direct connection exists between the Wilderness generation in the Torah to the Orthodox Judaism rabbis of Europe in the 1920s and 30s who forbade Jews to participate in Zionism.  Zionism defined through the 1917 Balfour Declaration as Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination in the Middle East.  The League of Nation introduced the Palestine Mandate of 1922 based upon the Balfour Declaration.  The Balfour Declaration defines the meaning and intent of Zionism to this day.

    Jewish self-determination means for our generations living right now: Can we restore the order and organization of the 12 Tribes “Republic”?  Democracy – a word that’s all the rage and fashion today – has its origins from Athens ancient Greece!  Think about this when you light the lights of Chanukkah.  Do you do this mitzva as just a ritual practicing “suit” robot OR do you understand why Jews light the lights of Chanukkah for thousands of years!

    The Oral Torah – a logic system.  This 4 part logic system – פרדס – stands in stark contrast to Aristotle’s 3 part syllogism.  Akiva’s logic based upon inductive logical comparisons of similar cases – Jewish common law.  Aristotle’s logic based upon deductive logical reasoning based upon Order.  The siddur has the root of סדר.  Rabbi Yishmael’s 13 middot work hand-in-glove with Akiva’s kabbalah of inductive reasoning.   בנין אב מכתוב אחד  בנין אב משני כתובים.  

    It disturbs me that your instructors have betrayed their teaching obligations!  These basic terms of Common law\משנה תורה totally alien to you.  No Yeshiva educator ever differentiated between Judicial common law courtroom laws FROM statute law which Parliaments/Knesset governments imposes as law enforced by the police upon their subject people!  You suffer from being “brain-washed”.

    Propaganda is a form of communication aimed at influencing the attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors of a population. It often involves the dissemination of information, ideas, or rumors that are biased or misleading, with the intent to promote a particular political cause or point of view. Propaganda can take various forms, including media campaigns, speeches, educational materials, and public service announcements. Governments often use propaganda to foster a sense of national identity and unity among citizens. By promoting a specific narrative about the nation’s history, values, and goals, they can create a shared sense of purpose and belonging. This is particularly important in multicultural societies where diverse backgrounds may lead to differing perspectives.

    Through public education, governments can shape public opinion on key issues. By controlling the curriculum and the information presented in schools, they can emphasize certain viewpoints while downplaying or omitting others. This can lead to a population that is more aligned with government policies and ideologies.  Governments may use propaganda to justify their policies, especially during times of conflict or crisis. By framing their actions in a positive light and portraying opponents negatively, they can gain public support for decisions that might otherwise be controversial or unpopular.

    By instilling specific beliefs and values in the education system, governments can cultivate compliance and loyalty among citizens. This can be achieved through the promotion of patriotism, respect for authority, and adherence to societal norms, which can discourage dissent and encourage conformity.  Governments may seek to control the flow of information to prevent dissenting views from gaining traction. By promoting a singular narrative in educational settings, they can limit exposure to alternative perspectives, effectively “brainwashing” individuals into accepting the government’s viewpoint as the only valid one.

    The effects of propaganda in education can be long-lasting. Individuals who are educated under a specific ideological framework may carry those beliefs into adulthood, influencing future generations. This creates a cycle where propaganda becomes ingrained in the culture, making it more challenging to challenge or change. Propaganda serves as a powerful tool for governments to influence and control the beliefs and behaviors of their citizens through public education. By shaping narratives and controlling information, they can foster compliance, loyalty, and a unified national identity, often at the expense of critical thinking and diverse perspectives.

    An example of propaganda education: no rabbi in any Yeshiva you ever learned in throughout your life has differentiated the distinctions between T’NaCH-Talmudic “common law” from Greek-Roman “statute law”; specifically never has any educator in any Yeshiva in Israel denounced the halachic codifications published by Rambam, Tur, and Shulkan Aruch as assimilated Roman statute law.  No educator ever pointed out the abomination of the Tzeddukim assimilation to Greek statute law wherein they attempted to cause the Jewish people to forget the “Oral” Torah … which we light the lights of Hanukkah to specifically “remember”.

    This shabbat past we discussed the “ORDER” of all Gemara sugyot.  The methodology of learning a Gemara sugya by way of a 3 part syllogism logic.  When Rabbeinu Tam jumps off the dof of Gemara to some other Gemara sugya you must learn its גזרה שווה comparative Case/Din learning obeys the כלל-פרט logic of rabbi Yishmael. To correctly learn any Tosafot commentary which learns by common law precedents requires that you compare the פרט of the brought גזרה שווה with the כלל of the larger Gemara sugya which includes that גזרה שווה פרט. The framers of the Talmud, Rav Ashi and Rav Ravina – together with the Sovaraim 450 to 600 CE, they edited and organized each and every sugya of Gemara into a כלל\פרט logical format. 

    An utter disgrace that your Yeshiva educators totally ignore the foundation “editors” of the Shas Bavli.  How the Shas Yerushalmi serves as the foundational source of halachic precedents to “understand” (meaning to actively compare like from like to develop the skills required to discern and understand the subtle distinctions and differences.  T’rumah and chol grains acquired from the exact same fields!  Worlds separate the one from the other.  On par with kosher slaughter vs. Goyim slaughter of cattle!  Another example: Why does the Gemara of Chullen include the minority opinion of rabbi Yechuda who insists that a shochet with fear of heaven cuts the carotid arteries? 

    Worked in a slaughterhouse, and none of those kashrut rabbis could answer this fundamental basic question. Answer: A butcher of common beef does not compare to a Cohen who slaughters to gather the “living blood” dedicated on the altar for that korban. That opening Mishna of Chullen, like every other opening Mishna of every Mishna in the Sha’s of rabbi Yechuda’s Great Sanhedrin common law compilation (the Tosefta might include judicial common law rulings of Small Sanhedrin courts), this Av Mishna of Chullen prioritizes the middah of יראת שמים – which means Baal Shem Tov/Master of the Good Name “reputation”.

    Chullen rules that if an Apecorkus slaughters an animal – even correctly – its meat remains treif. The Rambam טיפש פשט argues that everything depends upon “knowledge”. Yet this explanation collapses when one addresses the Gemara ruling concerning the Apecorkus! Answer: the Apecorkus lacks ‘Fear of Heaven’, therefore his correctly slaughtered beef remains treif.

    Before closing till I hear back from you, the Gemara of קידושין absolutely requires Torah precedents. A man does not love that which he does not own. How does a man “acquire” his wife. That woman, neither a slave or a whore both of which acquired through בכסף בשטר ובביאה. The primary pre-conditions established within the language of the Av Mishna of קידושין.

    In the 5 Books of the Torah, בראשית introduces not simply the טיפש פשט of the Avot: Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov. Rather, this first Book of the Torah revelation introduces Av-mitzvot – tohor time-oriented mitzvot which have the power to בראשית the chosen Cohen people from nothing in all generations and times. Genetics and Race does not make the chosen Cohen people. Tohor time-oriented commandments Creates from nothing the chosen Cohen people! The Book of בראשית introduces Av tohor time-oriented commandments.

    According to the B’HaG these Av tohor time-oriented commandments include even Rabbinic commandments elevated to Av tohor time-oriented commandments as מצוות דאורייתא. The Rambam, his “egg-crate” organization of Torah commandments limited to commandments found within the language of the Written Torah. This man had the Chutzpah to call his Av tuma avoda zarah assimilation to Greek and Roman “statute law” halacha, by the Name of the Book of D’varim-משנה תורה.

    Orthodox Judaism propaganda fails to differentiate between the common law classic commentaries written on the Talmud by Reshonim: the B’HaG, Rif, Rosh and Baali Tosafot from the Av tuma avoda zara statute law assimilated rabbis the Rambam, the son of the Rosh, and Karo. No Yeshiva ever informed you that the rabbis of Paris placed the Rambam into נידוי in 1232. Or that 10 years later the Poop/Pope and the king of France burned all the Talmud manuscripts in Paris France and thereafter expelled all the Jews of France which permanently destroyed the Rashi/Tosafot common law school of T’NaCH and Talmudic scholarship. The failure of Orthodox Judaism in the generation prior to the Shoah which slaughtered 75% of European Jewry in less than 3 years, these rabbis have permanently destroyed their ‘Good Name’ reputations.

  3. Rejecting Religious Rhetoric as False.

    Rubies Corner’s Blog·rubiescorner.wordpress.com

    Did I Tell You?

    I finished my Bible, and now I am reading it again. I have a goal for this year, so I don’t hesitate to pick up my Bible and read for awhile. Since I just finished, I am starting over….

    You could try learning the Hebrew T’NaCH – a radically different collection of books – rather than reading your Xtian bible translations. The Hebrew T’NaCH has translations, it even includes the non Jewish chapters and verses which so completely pervert the Xtian bible sophomoric translations. What difference does Order make? God vs Dog.

    The T’NaCH organized into sugyot (translated as sub-chapters). What difference does this make? The fundamental basis of the Hebrew T’NaCH stands upon a fundamental question. Does a person learn this literature לשמה או לא לשמה? To quote Shakespeare: To be or not to be — That is the question.

    Sophomoric bible translations never once bring the Name revealed in the opening Sinai commandment. Because the Xtian church does not accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, it worships their own versions of the Golden Calf. טיפש פשט – translated as bird brained – makes literal translations of abstract obstruse ideas of mussar. This latter term, mussar, it defines the meaning of the word “prophesy”. Prophets command mussar. Meaning that this prophetic mussar applies to all generations of bnai brit who ever walk the face of the Earth.

    Prophets do not predict the future as the Roman counterfeit new testament: “fulfill the words of the prophets” falsely proclaims. The Torah refers to this concept of “prophesy” which it describes through the “prophet” Bil’aam; that prophet practiced כשוף – witchcraft or sorcery, practices that involve magical or supernatural powers; engaging in Av tuma avoda zarah – forbidden or occult practices forbidden by the 2nd Sinai commandment.

    The Roman forgery known as the new testament employs a lot of Greek rhetoric. Greek rhetoric: undefined critical terms upon which a religious or political witch “hangs” all subsequent ideas. Obama in the 2008 election employed the witchcraft rhetoric of “CHANGE”. The key term that won two Presidential elections for him. Problem: never in eight years did he ever once make any attempt to define this magical term “CHANGE”. The Arab false prophet Muhammad did the exact same thing in his Koran.

    The word “prophet” repeated over and again and again. Never once does the Koran ever define the abstract obstruse term “prophet”. The new testament projects a definition of the term prophet, as mentioned above, that duplicates the Torah concept of witchcraft – predicting the future. The Hebrew T’NaCH defines prophesy as “MUSSAR”; prophets do not predict the future but rather their mussar applies equally to all generations. The outcome of this critical T’NaCH definition of this absolutely critical term “prophet” … T’NaCH commands prophetic mussar but it does NOT teach history. This subtle shift requires a bit of time to sink in once consciousness.

    Another example of religious rhetoric which the new testament forgery employs, the Apostle Paul, its concept of 1. You are not under the Law. 2. Original Sin of Adam, guilt complex employed to serve as the pretext for the death and resurrection of JeZeus. 1. The rhetoric of “law”; T’NaCH defines “law” as Judicial courtroom judgments – as law. Whereas Roman law exists as rules and regulations imposed by Caesar or the Roman Senate. Paul’s rhetoric “not under the law” fails to differentiate between judicial common law vs. legislative statute law. Hence Xtians “read” their bible sophomoric translations oblivious that T’NaCH instructs judicial common law through a Case/Rule style. This latter type of “law” stands upon the foundation of earlier judicial courtroom “precedent” rulings. Statute law has not such requirement which would force a person to write a ‘legal brief’ and present possible similar and related court room ruling made prior to the current case heard before the Court. The subtle distinction that comes out of making a comparison of similar Case/Rule judicial judgments – the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev which rabbi Akiva’s kabbalah defines as פרדס p’shat remiz drosh sod.

    This logic system format radically different from Aristotle’s 3 part Syllogism. Akiva’s logic format – inductive reason; whereas Aristotle’s methodology deductive reasoning. Both systems of logic have their strengths and weaknesses. But Paul’s religious rhetoric: “You are not under the Law”, obliterated any and all distinctions which separate common law from statute law and inductive logic from deductive logic.

    The other Pauline term of religious rhetoric: Original Sin. It implies that humanity inherits guilt from Adam’s transgression. The church amplified this concept into a Fire and brimstone Heaven/Hell God/Satan polarity, which later developed into Calvin’s doctrine of complete Human depravity. Based upon the presumption of Paul’s “Original Sin”. Meaning: that the will of fallen Man enslaved in bondage to sin, and individuals cannot exercise free will as their “Moses” liberator who leads the enslaved church to salvation. Herein the requirement for the resurrection of JeZeus. Central to Calvin’s theology, the doctrine of predestination, defines his religious rhetoric. This Golden Calf replacement theology subsumes the Torah Central theme of “the Chosen Cohen People who do service to HaShem through the dedication of tohor middot” to the replacement church which believes in a false messiah JeZeus. The latter term refers to the 13 Attributes which became revealed to Moshe on Yom Kippur 40 days after the sin of the Golden Calf wherein the ערב רב/mixed multitudes replaced the Divine Presence Spirit Name with the word אלהים. The 13 attributes, they define the revelation of the Written Torah at Sinai. How?

    These 13 “middot” (translated as measurements) breath as living Spirits from within the Yatzir Ha’Tov within the heart. Air comes from the lungs but tohor spirits come from the heart. Hence the Talmud refers to tefillah as a “matter of the heart”. Whereas the book of the gospel John declares that the Logos/word – not just a spoken word but also a principle of order and knowledge. It refers to JeZeus as the pre-existent divine being. Logos/word rhetoric salad asserts “the Word was God” which establishes the belief in the full divinity of JeZeus.

    The revelation of the Golden Calf rejects substitute theology as the definition of Av tuma (evil inclination spirits within the heart called Yatrir Ha’Rah) of avoda zarah (often mistranslated as idolatry). Therefore then how does the Hebrew T’NaCH “study” rather than simply read Common law (משנה תורה)? The first book of בראשית introduces Av tohor mitzvot – known as time-oriented commandments. The next three books of the Written Torah introduce secondary commandments (תולדות) which function as legal precedents. The last 5th book of the Torah (משנה תורה) confirms the mandate of judicial common law as ‘Legislative Review’. Meaning the common law Sanhedrin courts have not only a veto over lower government statute laws but can entirely re-write the lower government statute law and present them now as Torah common laws.

    In short, Paul’s religious rhetoric of “Original Sin” supplanted the main Torah theme of exile/g’lut as expressed through Adam’s expusion from the Garden, Noach’s Ark, the enslavement of Israel in Egypt, and the 40 year Wilderness story.

    1. From what I understand of the history, much of the inherited original sin concept came from Augustine who was influenced by Plato. It then went to Roman Catholicism. From there it went to Luther and Calvin. Their theological determinism degenerated into western atheism.

      Blessings, Moshe!

      1. In Romans 5:12-21, Paul discusses how sin entered the world through one man, Adam, and how death came through sin, affecting all humanity. This passage is foundational for the doctrine of Original Sin, as it establishes the idea that all people inherit a sinful nature due to Adam’s transgression. In 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, Paul contrasts Adam and Xrist, stating that just as death came through Adam, resurrection comes through Xrist. This reinforces the idea of a fallen human condition stemming from Adam’s sin. In Galatians 5:19-21, Paul lists the works of the flesh, which can be seen as manifestations of the sinful nature that Original Sin introduces. While he does not explicitly mention Original Sin, the implications of a sinful nature are present.

        In Ephesians 2:1-3, Paul describes humanity as being dead in transgressions and sins, indicating a state of spiritual death due to sin, which aligns with the concept of Original Sin. These letters collectively contribute to the theological understanding of Original Sin in Xtian doctrine, emphasizing humanity’s inherent sinful nature and the need for redemption through Xrist.

        1. As you referenced, Moshe:

          1 Corinthians 15:22 NKJV – 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

          You know about death. Do you prefer it to life?

          If Jesus rose from the dead, what are you waiting for? If He did not, then death won.

          1 Corinthians 15:14 NKJV – 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

          But Jesus, indeed, rose from the dead. So, what are you waiting for?

          1. Can’t have life without death. Just that simple. Xtian mythology sucks. The P’rushim understand “life after death” as the birth of children who continue the path walk of the chosen Cohen people.

              1. Another song of victory when Israel recaptured and unified our Capital following the 6 Day War. Obamo/Obozo the shoe shine boy in the White House and the UN through UN Resolution 2334 deny and promote revisionist history. These arrogant fools fail to grasp that Israeli victories in wars fought determine the international borders of the Jewish state. The UN and its so called international law bull shit do not determine the international borders of the Jewish state and how much more so the Capital City of the State of Israel.

              2. Lebanon News: The Radical Change in the Balance of Power in the Middle East consequent to the Oct7th Abomination War.

                Lebanon has begun disarming non-state armed groups, specifically starting with Palestinian factions in camps such as Burj al-Barajneh, as part of a broader push to ensure weapons are held only by six official state security agencies. Additionally, Lebanon’s cabinet has approved the objectives of a U.S.-backed plan to disarm Hezbollah by the end of 2025, tasking the army to oversee this transition.

                In response, Hezbollah has outright rejected the plan, with its deputy leader Naim Kassem denouncing it as serving Israeli interests and warning against its implementation. Lebanon’s president has strongly rebuffed Iranian interference, emphasizing national sovereignty and rejecting foreign meddling—remarks delivered during a meeting with a senior Iranian official. Reports also indicate that Iran appears anxious about the implications of Hezbollah’s potential disarmament, viewing it as a major strategic setback to its regional influence.

                UNIFIL continues to operate across southern Lebanon, with its current mandate extended through August 31, 2025. The Security Council is debating a new resolution that not only aims to extend the mission, but also signals an eventual withdrawal of UNIFIL—contingent on the Lebanese government achieving full control over its territory and so long as a comprehensive political solution is in place.

                UNIFIL has experienced dangerous incidents in recent years: Israeli tanks forcibly entering UN positions, multiple attacks on watchtowers, and injuring or endangering peacekeepers. Locally, some communities have pushed back against UNIFIL patrols, especially when they occur without Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) accompaniment, fueling tensions.

                A tragic incident on August 9, 2025, killed six Lebanese soldiers during munitions dismantling at a Hezbollah-linked depot, underscoring the persistent danger in the area. Its future beyond August hinges on Security Council deliberations and Lebanon’s ability to assume full security responsibilities.

                Despite a legislative ban by Israel that came into effect on January 30, 2025, targeting UNRWA’s operations in Israeli territory including East Jerusalem, UNRWA continues to provide essential aid in Gaza, the West Bank, and among refugee camps across the region. The agency has lost access to its Jerusalem headquarters, and many of its international staff have been forced to leave; yet, local staff remain on the ground delivering services under increasingly hostile conditions.

                Israel’s ban and accusations of UNRWA’s alleged ties to Hamas (including dismissals of some staff) have had far-reaching effects—diplomatic, legal, and operational. The agency remains under scrutiny, including court cases in the U.S. Still delivering critical services across Gaza and the West Bank, despite bans and evacuation of international staff.
