Society must come together to become a viable unite to survive the natural and man made cataclysms an catastrophes that frequent life on this planet.

Every cohesive society has some form of welfare to provide for the needy in times of difficulty and nurture the survival of society as a whole. There are two types of welfare found in society.

As there were two sons of Adam and Eve these are two types of welfare providers.

  • One consist of the nature of the good shepherd who leads his flock beside the still waters an makes them to lie down in green pastures and always seeks to protect and provide for them no matter what the personal cost to himself.
  • The other is one that plows the people bringing order and forms them into an organized state by the power of his oxen an the steel of his plow. His way false short of the laws of Nature and Natures God. He will eventually become a brute and ruler over his brother.

Each of these systems require sacrifice of what part of society to aid other parts.

The first system of welfare depends on love and free will offerings of the people, by the choice of the people, for the benefit of the people.

The other system compels the offerings of the people, depending on the authority of some. This second system centralizes power in the hands of a few which historically has corrupted the whole system. With the shift in the power to choose one part of society becomes drugged or intoxicated by the power until more and more power is sought and then abused. The other part of society is also drugged or intoxicated becoming weak and apathetic in the performance of its labors.

These two elements of this second welfare society of the state began to war against the well being of both with the bulk of society becoming indifferent to the needs of the members of society and their own needs become the priority an compelling force in their lives.

The laborers of society began to resent and hate the wealthy and ruling elite members and become more concerned with their personal survival or comfort than the survival and comfort of their fellow member. When the ruling elite tried to placate the mob of the common people with benefits they often decimated the mile class who now also resented the poor or at least the slothful or undeserving poor. All these systems were plagued with corruption.

Ancient Rome was the father of many modern government programs, including welfare systems that subsidized food, education and other provisions for the needy. Rome provided these things through free will offerings for centuries. Eventually people began to seek entitlements rather than rely on hope and charity alone.

Their entitlement programs date back to 122 B.C.. Tribune Gaius Gracchus instituted lex frumentaria, a law that ordered Rome’s government to supply its citizens with allotments of cheaply priced grain. He also instituted reforms which dealt with the judiciary system including an attempt to bar corrupt judges through the opinion of the people. He also reformed military service, and forbade the draft of boys under the age of seventeen and more all with the intent of improving morale and to win the political support of soldiers, allies, and poor voters.

These early forms of welfare continued under Trajan, who implemented a social welfare system called “alimenta” to help feed, clothe and educate orphans and poor children. Other items including corn, oil, wine, bread and pork were eventually added to the list of price-controlled goods, which may have been collected with tokens called “tesserae.”

This tesserae was one of the earliest forms of an EBT welfare card. It identified you as a eligible recipient. These systems take their toll on freedom an society. They are not really free.

  • Psalms 69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
  • Romans 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

These generous handouts helped Roman emperors win favor with the public, but some historians have argued that they also contributed to Rome’s economic decline to say nothing of the character of the people.

“The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.”[1]

These tokens known as tesserae, meaning "tile". They were evidence of your entitlements but also of your entanglements under Roman authority of the Roman world.

The tesserae hospitālēs were evidence of the Obligations of Hospitium where obligations imposed by a covenant were of the most sacred character, and any failure to regard its provisions was considered sacrilege, bringing upon the offender, the anger of Iuppiter Hospitālis..

These ties were hereditary, descending from father to son, so that persons might be hospitēs who had never so much as seen each other, whose immediate ancestors even might have had no personal intercourse. As a means of identification the original parties exchanged tokens tesserae hospitālēs.[2]

"This same systems was use to provide government welfare. It is clear that these are almost precisely the duties an practices devolving upon members of our own great benevolent societies at the present time when appealed to by a citizen in distress."[3]

Tesserae frumentariae and nummariae were tokens given at certain times by the Roman magistrates to citizens, in exchange for which they received a fixed amount of wheat or money.[4]

TES′SERA, (κύβος), was "a small tablet (as of wood, bone, or ivory) used by the ancient Romans as a ticket, tally, voucher, or means of identification." [2] So it is a matter of history that "The Roman Empire used tiles called tesserae to identify slaves, soldiers, and citizens over 2,000 years ago."[3]

Tessera frumentariae and nummariae were tokens given at certain times by the Roman magistrates to the poor, in exchange for which they received a fixed amount of cornº or money.[5]


The spirit of evil

The following is not true but has been reported and disseminate as true and to some degree it is a plan that is used by evil throughout the history o man.

In May of 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany, the allied forces obtained a copy of some of the Communists Rules for revolution. Nearly 50 years later, these RULES are still being followed. As you read, stop after each item and think about the present day situations where we live - and all around our nation. We quote these rules: A. Corrupt the young, get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.

B. Get control of all means of publicity, thereby get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on entertainment,sexy books and plays and other trivalities.

C. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on the controversial matters of no importance.

D. Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding them up to contempt and ridicule.

E. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthless as possible.

F. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit,produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

G. Promote unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civildisorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government toward such disorders.

H. By specious argument cause breakdown of the moral virtues,honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word.

I. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.

Folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand will write: “The rules have to do with dividing people into hostile groups, encouraging government extravagance, and fomenting unnecessary ‘strikes’ in vital industries. What we have lost, the list suggests, is a world without dissent, budget deficits, inflation, and labor unrest. I just can’t remember any such Golden Age.” [Stickney, 1996, pp. xx; Free Inquiry, 1999; Rosa Luxemburg, 2003; Snopes (.com), 7/10/2007]

Rules corrupt, and the less rules we have, the purer the game.
