[[File:powers.jpg|thumb|The origin of the idea that liberty could be preserved through the separation of powers endures through the arguments of [[Polybius]]. The Romans instituted checks and balances that were meant to guarantee an ordered liberty by decentralizing power but originally the powers, [[potestas]] and [[imperium]], rested in the hands of each family in the ancient form of a [[republic]], [[Libera res publica]], where the people were free from the tyranny of the majority or its elected despots.

The modern war upon the facts of history<Ref> “If history is deprived of the Truth, we are left with nothing but an idle, unprofitable tale.”― [[Polybius]], The Rise of the Roman Empire </Ref> and the ease and abundance provided to the next generation by one of the most affluent societies in the history of mankind has pressed the generations that followed toward their own doom and demise.<Ref>: "But when a new generation arises and the democracy falls into the hands of the grandchildren of its founders, they have become so accustomed to freedom and equality that they no longer value them, and begin to aim at pre-eminence; and it is chiefly those of ample fortune who fall into this error. 6 So when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting and corrupting the people in every possible way. 7 And hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the''' masses an appetite for gifts and the habit of receiving them, '''democracy in its turn''' is abolished and changes into a rule of force and violence."

Not knowing the pain and struggles required to past down blessings from generation to generation the grandchildren of those who won freedom for their descendants will be subject to that "natural transformation" into "[[perfect savages]]" who banish freedom and liberty. [[Polybius]] warns the modern millennial of their inevitable ''transformation'' into ''[[perfect savages]]'' if they do not learn and appreciate their own history. | |||
The evolution of society into "[[perfect savages]]" is a natural process that occurs when people individually abandon basic moral social responsibilities. When you make the State your [[Father]] and turn to its officers of authority to become your [[Benefactors]] you tear the vary fabric of society. | |||
Before [[Polybius]] explained how the people's [[appetite]] for [[benefits]] at the expense of others would alter them God warned mankind that the next generation must personally and individually choose to support and even carry the responsibility and the burden of the former generation's [[care]] if they are to remain both strong and free upon the land. Any system of social [[welfare]] that lifts the burden from the individuals of the present generation through forced contributions will make the word of God in His [[commandments]] to [[Corban|none effect]]. | |||

To "Honor thy Father and Mother" means to care for and prosper your parents so that "your days will be long upon the land" just as your parents cared for you. As a free society, individual families also care for their neighbors as much as they care about themselves through [[fervent charity]] which strengthens society. If the needy of society are provided for through [[force]] that process will strengthen the rulers of society until the people have forgotten the [[wisdom]] of [[righteousness]] and there is no one left with the liberty of choice but only despots and tyrants. | |||

"As long as we look to government to solve our problems, we will always suffer tyranny." William Pitt the Younger. ––British Prime Minister (1759-1806).
The problem with democracies, socialism, fascism, and communism is not the government itself, but it is the legal charity that they promote will erode the social bonds of a free society and degenerate the masses into perfect savages.
Plutarch knew that "That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them treats and gratuities" because “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.”
Only a fool what not listen to the wisdom of Proverbs "When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties[1]: for they are deceitful meat... Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words."
The problem with democracy is unlike the kings and their 9 rings of power everyone has a ring of power which is their power to vote. But like "the Lord of the rings" eventually "one ring rules them all" and the people turn into >perfect savages.
A hundred years of the covetous practices of legal charity and the welfare state has not only snared the masses but has produced a nation of perfect savages.
More than two thousand years ago we were warned by the "Historian of historians" that the people would 'unite their forces' and "massacre, banish, and plunder" each other and degenerate into perfect savages falling "once more" under the power of "a master and monarch" and become subjects of tyrants and despots.
Who would those "perfect savages" be today who 'unite their forces' and "massacre, banish, and plunder"?
Certainly, rioters who loot and rob, break, and burn their own neighborhoods and communities would be a clear sign of that perfect savagery predicted by Polybius long before the first Emperor seized control of the Republic. Roman history was punctuated with such riots[2] as it went from a capitalist practicing Republic to a social Democracy with its free bread and circuses. Long before its fall its fate was sealed by its apathy, immorality, and covetous practices.
But what are the early signs of that degeneration of both individuals and society?
Riots are not caused by a few provocateurs who may mingle in the crowds but caused by the spirit of selfishness that has already made a home in the hearts of the inhabitants of the city.
We should all be conscious of the fact that socialism sows the seeds of that degeneration and tempts the appetite of the people for benefits provided at our neighbors' expense so that they bite one another.[3]
When people start to put their life, their comfort, their benefit before the lives of others the process of degeneration has already begun. Putting others first is a lesson we first learn in a strong nuclear family from both parents who sacrifice their life for their children. Producing the next generation is all about sacrifice.
A family is a social-economic unit of a free society from which the next generation receives its life, identity, and character. Break down the ties that bind a family together and the community and that process of loving sacrifice and society itself will begin the degeneration process that will bring its own destruction. One of the first signs of the degeneration of society is the break down of the family unit.
The modern war upon the facts of history[4] and the ease and abundance provided to the next generation by one of the most affluent societies in the history of mankind has pressed the generations that followed toward their own doom and demise.[5]
Not knowing the pain and struggles required to past down blessings from generation to generation the grandchildren of those who won freedom for their descendants will be subject to that "natural transformation" into "perfect savages" who banish freedom and liberty. Polybius warns the modern millennial of their inevitable transformation into perfect savages if they do not learn and appreciate their own history.
The evolution of society into "perfect savages" is a natural process that occurs when people individually abandon basic moral social responsibilities. When you make the State your Father and turn to its officers of authority to become your Benefactors you tear the vary fabric of society.
Before Polybius explained how the people's appetite for benefits at the expense of others would alter them God warned mankind that the next generation must personally and individually choose to support and even carry the responsibility and the burden of the former generation's care if they are to remain both strong and free upon the land. Any system of social welfare that lifts the burden from the individuals of the present generation through forced contributions will make the word of God in His commandments to none effect.
To "Honor thy Father and Mother" means to care for and prosper your parents so that "your days will be long upon the land" just as your parents cared for you. As a free society, individual families also care for their neighbors as much as they care about themselves through fervent charity which strengthens society. If the needy of society are provided for through force that process will strengthen the rulers of society until the people have forgotten the wisdom of righteousness and there is no one left with the liberty of choice but only despots and tyrants.
The daily ministration and free practice of Pure Religion in the care of the needy of society is no less important in the maintenance of a free society. The neglect of either will alter the minds of the people until life means little and morality of all is dissipated.
Actress Alyssa Milano recently announced to the world "‘My life would be completely lacking all its great joys’ if not for my two abortions." She went on to say, "It was my choice. And it was absolutely the right choice for me." The two children living in her womb were given no choice but death.
Millions rallied in support and millions were shocked and appalled. This division in society is predicting its downfall and destruction but it is present in far more subtle ways. Everyone who desires education, health, and welfare at the expense of their neighbor contributes to the degeneration and decay of the moral character of society. Being willing to take a bite out of one another will bring the whole of society to devour itself in wantonness and greed. The idea of desiring benefits at someone else's loss must be abhorrent in the minds of the people in order for society to remain free. Once the people have become accustomed and justified that forcing others to provide for what they want society's fate is sealed.
This degenerative process will repeat itself in each society throughout history as new generations fail to learn the hard lessons of previous generations. Many people today have little understanding of how the destructive despot rises to power nor do they see the signs of degeneration in communities that heralds their demise as free societies.
Weeks ago I wrote an article about a hazardous situation in the halls of Oregon government, the United States, and even the whole world. The reactions of the readers were varied but predictable. In an age when children graduating from public schools think socialism is a good thing and capitalism is a bad thing but are unable to give a clear or concise definition of either it is no surprise people can not reason out what the real problem is. You cannot hit the target if you have no ammunition.
Vanity and ignorances are the greatest tools of evil but they are both simply the by-product of a lack of humility and knowledge.
The article was not an indictment of the politicians who run for office and may violate the law governing campaigns but it was and is an indictment of the people who have allowed the unchecked process of empowerment through elections in their own government.
First, Article 2 Section 22 is the law in Oregon for everyone campaigning for political office and no court has ruled that the law is unconstitutional.
The "object" of Article 2 Section 22 was never even addressed in the Vannatta v. Keisling case. While the court accepted that prevention of a $100 donation might be considered and injury of a personal right, larger "contributions to as little as $1,000 per contributor did not violate the First Amendment."[6] The "object" of Article 2 Section 22 was the dampening of the power of "Big Money" contributions from special interest groups like corporate powers desiring to unduly influence legislative, executive, and even judicial branches of government for private gain. See http://preparingyou.com/wiki/Article_2_Section_22
Secondly, if Article 2 Section 22 is not law in Oregon why are politicians trying so hard to change that law with Joint Resolution 18?
Section(2)(a) of Joint Resolution 18 is not only an attempt by political opportunists greedy for gain to overthrow the will of the people expressed in Article 2 Section 22 but the changing of the reading of Article 2 Section 8 to exclude the people's former right to limit contribution by voting in Measure 6 is a clear attempt to keep the people from ever limiting the flow of lucrative campaign contributions ever again.
Even, Rob Davis of the Oregonian seems more than just reluctant to "speak to Power" or to reveal the Whole Truth to the people. A cursory examination of the facts concerning Article 2 Section 22 and the terms and effects of Joint Resolution 18 which is being sent to the voters reveals the corruption of the elected officials within the State of Oregon and the complicity of the news media. The travesty of suggesting that that Resolution has anything to do with an honest attempt at "campaign reform" should send an alarm in every "Middlesex village and farm".[7] But the sloth and apathy of the people have seduced them to slumber as their rights are eroded away. [8]
No Democracy can survive long when the people slumber in apathy and avarice. If there is no will to stand in peace and love for what is right, honest, and just, then there will be no salvation in voting. If there is no "hue and cry" to hold all persons elected accountable to what is right and required by the law the people have established then justice shall not prevail. Those who campaign for elected offices of a state are subject to the laws of the state. Certainly, those who are elected to forge the laws of the state are obligated to comply with the law they have sworn to uphold. When the people will not hold one another to righteousness then the people will be held to account for resulting unrighteousness.
There is also no reason to cling to an assumed right to bear arms nor boast of liberty if there is no will to stand for righteousness in a time of peace. When the very candidates who will swear to uphold the constitution of a State violate that constitution in their quest to obtain office then can an honest outcome should not be expected. If the people have not the will to hold one another to what is righteous the unrighteous will rule.
The Children of Savages
If public education works why do "51 percent of young people" have a positive outlook concerning socialism?
Why do the majority of high school and college graduates believe it is okay to take from their neighbor by force to provide social welfare for themselves and society?
Because people are already dependent economically, physically and psychologically upon governments to solve their problems, protect them from consequences, and provide not only their general welfare but their personal social security they have become "accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others". They then "institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,[the rights of their neighbor] until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." The people who are too slothful to seek the whole truth have become a horde of little tyrants and the "perfect savages" of Polybius.
The provision of personal welfare provided through the power of government undermines the possibility of liberty for the people. But to provide the benefits of society through charity and individual choice is the essence of the perfect law of liberty. A society can be free only if it provides welfare for its needy through the habit of volunteerism and the practice of charity. It is this truth expressed repeatedly in the Doctrines of Jesus that will set you free. Anything less will entangle you in the elements of the world entangling you again in a yoke of bondage.
The minds of children, the voters of tomorrow, have been turned over to thinking that entitlement at the expense of their neighbor is a good thing. Ignorant of their past and unclear as to what is required of each generation to regenerate or maintain a free society they are prepared to usher in the first tyrant that promises them "more" with "great swelling words of vanity". Liberty from responsibility is not freedom.[9]
Can a true Christian or Jew or Muslim or a Buddhist or even a pagan pray to their God or gods while they are applying to the Cains, Nimrods, Caesars of the world for free bread provided at the expense of their neighbor and even their neighbor's children? Can you desire the benefits and rewards of their benefaction knowing it is dependent upon the use of force and "the rule of violence"?
If you are a true follower of Christ or even a follower of Moses and Abraham you have a responsibility to not only seek righteousness but also to attend to the "weightier matters of the law"[10] without coveting your neighbor's goods.
