HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIRTYMINUTESRULE.COM ?

Thirtyminutesrule.com is a worldwide group. We are derived from a concept based on ‘30 minute rule’ located in the Chapter ‘The Limited Human Designed Academic System on Page 97’ inside the book entitled ‘Our World in Metaphors’ which is ‘Driven by the Truth.’ The chapter has been provided free of charge on this website to enable participants to appreciate the main driver behind the setting up of the group.

We are a team of multi-ethnic and cultural individuals, who are driven by the noble cause of assisting to liberate HUMANITY. We believe that, the first step in this liberation, is for humanity to understand who and what HUMANITY is because; without such understanding of the truth at the foundation of HUMANITY (which has been the case since time immemorial), lies which brings about theories and confusion took and continue to take hold. In view of these we want to make it clear and state that, HUMANITY is Man and Woman excluding all else and, HUMANITY is the only CREATIVITY. Anyone who has the capacity to name and/or rename themselves…anyone who is capable of disputing what they are called, keep a history of their lineage and capable of putting things together and/or in motion, is a human being. The rest are animals that either accept whatever name is given to them or ignorant of whatever they are called and would never complain over whatever they are called! Our primary and sole aim is to liberate HUMANITY by getting humanity’s thought process in the right order. This is critical because, if anyone believes that human beings are animals or belong to the animal kingdom, they would think and act like animals. If anyone thinks they are an inventor or creator they would start acting like God; just like a deluded tenant would start acting in a bizarre way, if they suddenly believe they are the Landlord.

In view of all these, let it be known henceforth that, we, human beings are neither inventors nor creators; we only can reinvent & recreate based on existing principles for the ground upon which we stand in order to reinvent, the air we breathe and water necessary for our existence before whatever else, have NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF US! Let us also remember that, the imagination to fly came from the birds of the earth we also had NOTHING TO DO WITH. We therefore are hereby introducing the 5Ps based on the 5 Finger Theory for the posterity of humanity; Produce, Patronise, Promote your own unique People and Products and pull them all together in mutual exchange, collaboration and partnership for a better not perfect world! We do so in recognition of the fact that, to restrict one is to restrict all! This is what each individual, community, country and continent has to do, else humanity will continue to wallow and suffer in ignorance.

The appreciation of these facts we believe, is critical, as they bring us closer to normality by highlighting our limitations which is vital in regulating our otherwise ‘poisonous’ raw emotions. Our limitation is the only source from which we have humility which is the most essential part of HUMANITY. It is our intention to highlight the limited nature of Academic System which, can only offer very limited employment opportunities to, not all the multitudes of people who are attracted to it let alone, the billions who are rejects of it coupled with the fact that even many attracted by it are having to struggle with possibly they least of their talent which they were forced to pursue by the way the academic system is designed. In addition to these, we intend to do the following as well;

  • Ensure Humanity appreciates its rightful source and identity in the knowledge that, a traveller who does not know where they began their journey and their current location will not be able to find their destination.
  • Commitment to enable each person that forms a part of Humanity identifies, harnesses and maximises their real talent which would set them and others around them free.
  • Commitment to ensure that those who sign up with our ethics and got supported to maximise their creativity extend our ethos which revolves around understanding of humanity, mutual respect, exchange and sharing in the differences that are there to enhance us.
  • Finally, we are committed to ensuring that human beings appreciate that though we are creativity, none can be creativity on their own but we often assume otherwise. Based on that assumption, FEAR and IGNORANCE became the greatest destroyer for humanity and humanity’s greatest FEAR became the revelation of emptiness in relation to the fact that, every individual, community and nation is nothing on their own. If in doubt about our respective emptiness then, give us the most ‘clever head’ and let’s see how clever that head is, as it performs on its own whilst disconnected from the neck?

SOUTH AFRICA TO APPOINT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA AS NEW PRESIDENT

South Africa will have a new president by mid-afternoon on Thursday.

The office of ANC chief whip Jackson Mthembu emailed MPs on Wednesday night, before Jacob Zuma had tendered his immediate resignation as president, to inform them of Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng’s availability.

“The chief whip of the majority party has been informed by the Speaker [Baleka Mbete] that the chief justice is making himself available after the motion of no confidence to officiate in the election of the new president of South Africa. This item was scheduled for Friday morning. We are now moving it forward to Thursday afternoon or evening,” the email read.

However, with the motion no longer necessary, Parliament will instead elect the man or woman who will replace Zuma as the country’s First Citizen. 

This will most likely take place at 2pm – the same time originally allocated for the motion of no confidence against Jacob Zuma. However, Nathi Mncube‚ spokesperson for the office of the Chief Justice, would only confirm that it would be ‘this afternoon
