In this part of the series, we will connect the dots between the fallen, the Ancients, the Knights Templars and Current Medical Care.
History of Hospitals (from Encyc Britannica online)
As early as 4000 BC religions identified certain of their deities with healing. The temples of Saturn, and later of Asclepius in Asia Minor, were recognized as healing centers. Brahmanic hospitals were established in Sri Lanka as early as 431 BC, and King Asoka established a chain of hospitals in Hindustan about 230 BC. Around 100 BC the Romans established hospitals (valetudinaria) for the treatment of their sick and injured soldiers; their care was important because it was upon the integrity of the legions that the power of Rome was based.
It can be said, however, that the modern concept of a hospital dates from AD 331 when Constantine, having been converted to Christianity, abolished all pagan hospitals and thus created the opportunity for a new start. Until that time disease had isolated the sufferer from the community. The Christian tradition emphasized the close relationship of the sufferer to his fellow man, upon whom rested the obligation for care. Illness thus became a matter for the Christian church.
OK, first of all, Constantine was not a true believer in Christianity. He saw the growing religion as an opportunity to unite all of the conquests of ROME under ROMAN RULE. He created the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. ROMAN because they worshiped the ROMAN GODS, just changed the names, and CATHOLIC because Constantine intended and attempted to conquer the entire world under the flag of “Christianity”.
Around AD 370 St. Basil of Caesarea established a religious foundation in Cappadocia that included a hospital, an isolation unit for those suffering from leprosy, and buildings to house the poor, the elderly, and the sick. Following this example similar hospitals were later built in the eastern part of the Roman Empire. Another notable foundation was that of St. Benedict at Monte Cassino, founded early in the 6th century, where the care of the sick was placed above and before every other Christian duty. It was from this beginning that one of the first medical schools in Europe ultimately grew at Salerno and was of high repute by the 11th century. This example led to the establishment of similar monastic infirmaries in the western part of the empire.
The Roman Catholic Church is a works based religion. They teach that you must earn your way into heaven. The establishment of monasteries, hospitals and orphanages was part of that teaching. Please don’t misunderstand, I believe in helping the poor and disenfranchised, as the Lord leads. I do not believe in institutionalized charities. Why, because money and power corrupt. As we have surely seen in the scandals of ALL ORGANIZED RELIGIONS AND CHARITIES! Individual people and communities should be helping each other. NOT looking to Governments, or religious leaders to provide the care. It NEVER gets to the ones who need it.
The Hôtel-Dieu of Lyon was opened in 542 and the Hôtel-Dieu of Paris in 660. In these hospitals more attention was given to the well-being of the patientʼs soul than to curing bodily ailments. The manner in which monks cared for their own sick became a model for the laity. The monasteries had an infirmitorium, a place to which their sick were taken for treatment. The monasteries had a pharmacy and frequently a garden with medicinal plants. In addition to caring for sick monks, the monasteries opened their doors to pilgrims and to other travelers.
As we can clearly see throughout history. HEALTH and Wellbeing are directly related to our spiritual lives. Pagans who did not know the Creator God, languished under the tyranny of sin and death. They struggled with sickness and disease. They were at the mercy of the gods and demigods that they worshiped. They turned to them for comfort, protection, and provision. They worshiped them and sacrificed to them, just as those who knew the one and only TRUE and LIVING GOD worshiped HIM.
God’s Promises
Exodus 15:26 – “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”
Exodus 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 22But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 23For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. 24Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 26There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 27I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 28And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 29I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 31And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 32Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
Dueteronomy 7:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: 13And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 14Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 15And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. 16And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
Religion continued to be the dominant influence in the establishment of hospitals during the Middle Ages. The growth of hospitals accelerated during the Crusades, which began at the end of the 11th century. Pestilence and disease were more potent enemies than the Saracens in defeating the Crusaders. Military hospitals came into being along the traveled routes; the Knights Hospitalers of the Order of St. John in 1099 established in the Holy Land a hospital that could care for some 2,000 patients. It is said to have been especially concerned with eye disease and may have been the first of the specialized hospitals. This order has survived through the centuries as the St. Johnʼs Ambulance Corps.
The Order of Saint John, formally the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem is an international order of chivalry which is headquartered in the United Kingdom. The Order founded the St John Ambulance associations and oversees their work. They also own the rights to the St John name and brand, including the Maltese Cross logo. The Order also oversee the St John Eye Hospital Group, which is separate to the ambulance associations. Most members of St John Ambulance are not themselves members of the Order, and vice versa, so a major presence of the Order does not dictate a major presence of St John Ambulance.
Throughout the Middle Ages, but notably in the 12th century, the number of hospitals grew rapidly in Europe. The Arabs established hospitals in Baghdad and Damascus and in Córdoba in Spain. Arab hospitals were notable for the fact that they admitted patients regardless of religious belief, race, or social order. The Hospital of the Holy Ghost, founded in 1145 at Montpelier in France, established a high reputation and later became one of the most important centers in Europe for the training of doctors. By far the greater number of hospitals established during the Middle Ages, however, were monastic institutions under the Benedictines, who are credited with having founded more than 2,000.
The Middle Ages also saw the beginnings of support for hospital-like institutions by secular authorities. Toward the end of the 15th century many cities and towns supported some kind of institutional health care: it has been said that in England there were no less than 200 such establishments that met a growing social need. This gradual transfer of responsibility for institutional health care from the church to civil authorities continued in Europe after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1540 by Henry VIII, which put an end to hospital building in England for some 200 years.
The loss of monastic hospitals in England caused the secular authorities to provide for the sick, the injured, and the handicapped, thus laying the foundation for the voluntary hospital movement. The first voluntary hospital in England was probably established in 1718 by Huguenots from France and was closely followed by the foundation of such London hospitals as the Westminster Hospital in 1719, Guyʼs Hospital in 1724, and the London Hospital in 1740. Between 1736 and 1787 hospitals were established outside London in at least 18 cities. The initiative spread to Scotland where the first voluntary hospital, the Little Hospital, was opened in Edinburgh in 1729.
The first hospital in North America was built in Mexico City in 1524 by Cortés; the structure still stands. The French established a hospital in Canada in 1639 at Quebec city, the Hôtel-Dieu du Précieux Sang, which is still in operation although not at its original location. In 1644 Jeanne Mance, a French noblewoman, built a hospital of ax-hewn logs on the island of Montreal; this was the beginning of the Hôtel-Dieu de St. Joseph, out of which grew the order of the Sisters of St. Joseph, now considered to be the oldest nursing group organized in North America. The first hospital in the territory of the present-day United States is said to have been a hospital for soldiers on Manhattan Island, established in 1663. The early hospitals were primarily almshouses, one of the first of which was established by William Penn in Philadelphia in 1713. The first incorporated hospital in America was the Pennsylvania Hospital, in Philadelphia, which obtained a charter from the crown in 1751.
The Introduction Of Hospitals
Abstract
Late antiquity witnessed one revolution in the medical scene: the birth of the hospital. Literary sources occasionally mention hospitals, but only documents from Egypt reveal how widespread they were. These testimonial from Egypt record a multitude of hospitals founded by private individuals and independent of ecclesiastical institutions. The origin of the hospital as an independent institution for the care and treatment of the sick can be dated to the third quarter of the fourth century CE. The hospital resolved major tensions in the medical, ecclesiastical and religious scenes of late antiquity.

The Origin of Hospitals.- In spite of contrary opinions the germ of the hospital system may be seen in pre-Christian times (see ‘Charity And Charities’)
Pinel goes so far as to declare that there were asylums distinctly set apart for the insaneʼ in the temples of Saturn in ancient Egypt. But this is probably an exaggeration, the real historical facts pointing to the existence of medical schools in connexion with the temples generally, to the knowledge that the priests possessed what medical science existed, and finally to the rite of “Incubation,” which involved the visit of sick persons to the temple, in the shade of which they slept, that the god might inform them by dreams of the treatment they ought to follow. The temples of Saturn are known to have existed some 4000 years before Christ; and that those temples were medical schools in their earliest form is beyond question. The reason why no records of these temples have survived is due to the fact that they were destroyed in a religious revolution which swept away the very name of Saturn from the monuments in the country. Professor Georg Ebers of Leipzig, whose possession of that important handbook of Egyptian medicine called the Papyrus Ebers constitutes him an authority, says the Heliopolis certainly had a clinic united to the temple. The temples of Dendera, Thebes and Memphis, are other examples. Those early medical works, the Books of Hermies, were preserved in the shrines. Patients coming to them paid contributions to the priests. The most famous temples in Greece for the cure of disease were those of Aesculapius at Cos and Trikka, while others at Rhodes, Cnidus, Pergamum and Epidaurus were less known but frequented. Thus it is clear that both in Egypt and in Greece the custom of laying the sick in the precincts of the temples was a national practice.
Alexandria again was a famous medical center. Before describing the European growth of the hospital system in modern times, to which its development in the Roman Empire is the natural introduction, it will be well to dispose very briefly of the facts relating to the hospital system in the East. Harun al-Rashid (A.D. 763-809) attached a college to every mosque, and to that again a hospital. He placed at Baghdad an asylum for the insane open to all believers; and there was a large number of public infirmaries for the sick without payment in that city. Benjamin, the Jewish traveler, notes an efficient scheme for the reception of the sick in A.D. 1173, which had long been in existence.
The Buddhists no less than the Mahommedans had their hospitals, and as early as 260 B.c. the emperor Asoka founded the many hospitals of which Hindustan could then boast. The one at Surat, made famous by travelers, and considered to have been built under the emperorʼs second edict, is still in existence. These hospitals contained provision so extensive as to be quite comparable to modern institutions. In China the only records that remain are those of books of very early date dealing with the theory of medicine. To return to India, the hospitals of the Buddhist Emperor, Asoka, were swept away by a revival of Brahmanism, ‘and a practical hiatus exists between the hospitals he introduced and those that were refounded by the’ British ascendancy.
Hadrianʼs reign contains the first notice of a military hospital in Rome. At the beginning of the Christian era we hear of the existence of open surgeries (of various price and reputation), the specialization of the medical profession, and the presence of women practitioners, often as obstetricians. latria, or tabcrnae-medicae, are described by Galen and Placetus: many towns built them at their own cost. These iatria attended almost entirely to out-patients, and the system of medicine fostered by them continued without much development down to the middle of the 18th century. It is to be noted that these out-patients paid reasonable fees.
In Christian days no establishments were founded for the relief of the sick till the time of Constantine. A law of Justinian referring to various institutions connected with the church mentions among them the Nosocomia, which correspond to our idea of hospitals. In A.D. 370 Basil had one built for lepers at Caesarea. St Chrysostom founded a hospital at Constantinople. At Alexandria an order of 600 Parabolani attended to the sick, being chosen for the purpose for their experience by the prelate of the city (A.D. 416). Fabiola, a rich Roman lady, founded the first hospital at Rome possessed of a convalescent home in the country. She even became a nurse herself. St Augustine founded one at his see of Hippo.
These Nosocomia fell indeed almost entirely into the hands of the church, which supported them by its revenues when necessary and controlled their administration. Salerno became famous as a school of medicine; its rosiest days were between A.D. 1000 and 1050. Frederick II. prescribed the course for students there, and founded a rival school at Naples. At this period the connexion between monasteries and hospitals becomes a marked one. The Crusaders also created another bond between the church and hospital development, as the route they traversed was marked by such foundations. Lepers were some of the earliest patients for whom a specialized treatment was recognized.
What was the first hospital? Origin story from Roma
By Jordan Messler | June 4, 2014 | 2
The word hospital originates from the Latin hospes,(not really) meaning guest or stranger. It’s the root of words such as hospice, hostel, hotel, and hospitality. The word patient comes from patior, which is to suffer. Hence a hospital can be interpreted etymologically as a place where strangers who suffer come to be cared for.
Yes, there were Temples in Ancient Times that ministered to the sick and infirmed, there were even asylums for the insane. Some of these Temples included medical Training as well. Some as far back as the Temple of Saturn These temples were scattered throughout Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece, and used likely up until 600 AD. Their PRIMARY function was that of a Spiritual TEMPLE. They were Spiritual centers visited by the sick on pilgrimages of wellness. They operated as places of healing that was centered on the Spiritual. You would be greeted by priests in robes, with candles lit, sacrifices offered. Since you traveled for miles, you were sheltered and fed, and if well enough, enjoyed music nearby, theater, the salubrious air, and the springs. The priest helped prepare you for sleep, where the treatment for your illness would hopefully be revealed during your dreams. At the time, in the age of humoral medicine, it would be diet, exercise-heavy regimens, which would aid in balancing your state, and if followed correctly, cure your ailment. These Temples were clearly precursors to spas, but were they the first hospitals? They 
may not resemble today’s monuments to healing, but they appear to reflect a distant echo of today’s centers for healing. From http://www.johnwilliamwaterhouse.com/pictures/sick-child-aesculapius/
“Our results at the Johns Hopkins Hospital were most gratifying. Faith in Saint Johns Hopkins, as we used to call him, an atmosphere of optimism, and cheerful nurses, worked just the same sort of cures as did Aesculpaius at Epidaurus”– William Osler, 1910, in “The Faith That Heals”

Hospital — Origin of the word
Discussion in ‘History & Genealogy‘ started by Tomm, Nov 16, 2012.
The word hospital comes from the Latin word hospitalia, which means an apartment for strangers and guests.
The practise of hospitality was enjoined as a virtue upon the early Christians. In the early Christian times, hospitalia was a place where strangers and pilgrims were received and cared for. At that time, it was more a place of hospitality than of medical treatment.
In the early Christian times, Christians were encouraged to make pilgrimages to the many holy places of the Middle East. For several centuries, travellers from Western Europe made their way into this part of the world. Many of these pilgrims travelled without money, believing that they would receive assistance on their way from other accommodating Christians. Many hospitals were established, particularly in remote and dangerous places. These services were extended as tangible gifts in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
Many of the great hospitals can be traced to the period directly following the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., when the bishops of the Church were instructed to go out into every cathedral city in Christendom and start a hospital.During the Crusades, the Knights Templars set up a hospital in Jerusalem. Originally, it was set up to provide quarters for the pilgrims, soldiers and knights as they would arrive with nowhere to stay and little or no provisions. The hospitality expanded to care for the sick and wounded. That is how the Knights Templars became associated with Hospitals.
As time went by, medical treatment gradually played a bigger and bigger role in hospitals. From the 16th century onwards, hospitals began to take on its modern meaning as we know it today.
When Crusader Kings Ruled Jerusalem
by Jack Meinhardt
Crusader kings first took up residence in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, on the southern end of the Temple Mount; but in 1118 they abandoned the mosque for the newly rebuilt citadel, south of the Tower of David. Al-Aqsa then became the residence of the Templar Knights—an order first created to protect pilgrim routes and later transformed into an elite fighting force.
Outside the Temple Mount, the Crusaders built a covered market, a new city gate (Tanners’ Gate), a hospital (run by the Knights of the Order of St. John, also known as the Hospitallers, who, like the Templars, were first founded to care for pilgrims but later became a military force) and various other buildings.
Crusader kings first took up residence in Hospitaler or Hos·pi·tal·ler – [ hos-pi-tl-er ] – noun

Knights Hospitaller
- Knights Hospitaller
- Fraternitas Hospitalaria
- Knights of Saint John (of Jerusalem)
- Knights of Rhodes, Knights of Malta
The Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem (Latin: Ordo Fratrum Hospitalis Sancti Ioannis Hierosolymitani; Italian: Cavalieri dell’Ordine dell’Ospedale di San Giovanni di Gerusalemme), also known as the Order of Saint John, Order of Hospitallers, Knights Hospitaller, Knights Hospitalier or Hospitallers, was a medieval and early modern Catholic military order. It was headquartered in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, on the island of Rhodes, in Malta and Saint Petersburg.
The Hospitallers arose in the early 11th century, at the time of the great monastic reformation, as a group of individuals associated with an Amalfitan hospital in the Muristan district of Jerusalem, dedicated to John the Baptist and founded around 1023 by Gerard Thom to provide care for sick, poor or injured pilgrims coming to the Holy Land. Some scholars, however, consider that the Amalfitan order and hospital were different from Gerard Thom’s order and its hospital.
After the conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a military religious order under its own papal charter, charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the knights operated from Rhodes, over which they were sovereign, and later from Malta, where they administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. The Hospitallers were the smallest group to briefly colonise parts of the Americas: they acquired four Caribbean islands in the mid-17th century, which they turned over to France in the 1660s.
The knights were weakened in the Protestant Reformation, when rich commanderies of the order in northern Germany and the Netherlands became Protestant and largely separated from the Roman Catholic main stem, remaining separate to this day, although ecumenical relations between the descendant chivalric orders are amicable. The order was disestablished in England, Denmark, as well as in some other parts of northern Europe, and it was further damaged by Napoleon‘s capture of Malta in 1798, following which it became dispersed throughout Europe

Origins of Hospitals
“A Christian” writes: Hospitals as we know them were an innovation of Christianity (hence the universal healing symbol of a cross to represent hospitals).
Ed: Hospitals existed in antiquity, in Egypt and in India. And after Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire hospitals were built in Christian nations, and, after Islam arose, in Moslem countries as well. Regardless of questions of their origin, hospitals and the practice of modern medicine have continued to evolve. People of all faiths and non-faiths may today study medicine and work in hospitals and in worldwide relief organizations.
Take the Red Cross (now known as the “Red Cross and Red Crescent”), which is perhaps the largest international relief organization in the world. (See my earlier article on Christianity, Florence Nightingale, And The Red Cross for in-depth information.)
Aside from the cross (and the crescent) as its symbol, it treats people of all creeds and is supported by people of all faiths internationally.
Or take the MSF which stands for Médecins Sans [without] Frontières (English = “Doctors Without Borders”) which delivers emergency aid to victims of armed conflict, epidemics, and natural and man-made disasters, and to others who lack health care due to social or geographical isolation.
The only thing that Doctors Without Borders refuses to “tolerate” is indifference!
“We are by nature an organization that is unable to tolerate indifference.
We hope that by arousing awareness and a desire to understand, we will also stir up indignation and stimulate action.”
— Rony Brauman, MD, Former President, MSF
Their website explains that MSF was founded in 1971 by a small group of French doctors who believed that all people have the right to medical care regardless of race, religion, creed or political affiliation, and that the needs of these people supersede respect for national borders. It was the first non-governmental organization to both provide emergency medical assistance and publicly bear witness to the plight of the populations they served.
A private, nonprofit organization, MSF is at the forefront of emergency health care as well as care for populations suffering from endemic diseases and neglect. MSF provides primary health care, performs surgery, rehabilitates hospitals and clinics, runs nutrition and sanitation programs, trains local medical personnel, and provides mental health care.
Through longer-term programs, MSF treats chronic diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, sleeping sickness, and AIDS; assists with the medical and psychological problems of marginalized populations including street children and ethnic minorities; and brings health care to remote, isolated areas where resources and training are limited. MSF unites direct medical care with a commitment to bearing witness and speaking out against the underlying causes of suffering. Its volunteers protest violations of humanitarian law on behalf of populations who have no voice, and bring the concerns of their patients to public forums, such as the United Nations, governments (in both home and project countries), and the media. In a wide range of circumstances, MSF volunteers have spoken out about forgotten conflicts and under-reported atrocities they have witnessed-from Chechnya to Angola, and from Kosovo to Sri Lanka. MSF is an international network with sections in 18 countries. Each year, more than 2,500 volunteer doctors, nurses, other medical professionals, logistics experts, water/sanitation engineers, and administrators join 15,000 locally hired staff to provide medical aid in more than 80 countries.

Ok, let me start by saying that we have clearly already established that “medical centers” have been around for a long time. Long before Christianity. They were necessary because people did not have access to GOD who in Ancient times was only dealing with the Hebrews. Now that Jesus/Yeshua opened the way to the father, we should be going to HIM and helping each other. We should not be going to secular institutions that are funded as an organization. Money and Power corrupt! Demonic spirits are associated with these institutions and practices. Take a look at the list below… can you see that the fallen ones brought this so-called “wisdom and knowledge”? Which, perhaps, God allowed because those who did not know Yah/God before the coming of the Savior, would need some ways to deal with the things that would come upon them. Regardless, those are demonic entities these folks are turning to when they should be seeking GOD. Who would rather yield to, a LOVING FATHER CREATOR GOD who has the power to heal you and make you whole? or Demonic spirits who hate you and NEVER give anything for nothing? You will find their price is greater than you can bear.
- Amazarak – “Taught all the sorcerers, and dividers of roots.”
- Armers, Armeros, Armaros – “Taught the solution of sorcery/the resolving of enchantments.
- Kasdeja, Kisdeja – “Taught the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away.
- Semyaza, Shemyaza, Semjaza, Semiaza, Samyaza, Shemhazai – “Taught enchantments and root-cuttings.”
Those are just the ones I thought were related to healing. The others are related to the reasons why you need healing. Above you will see that they taught mankind how cast spells and create potions. They also taught the remedies for them. They also taught women how to avoid getting pregnant, how to get pregnant and how to KILL the baby in the womb. They taught how to create drugs of all kinds and for all manner of uses. Do you think they did that because they care about you? or any of mankind? They did that to hold POWER over mankind. They are still doing it today.
As for “Charitable Organizations”, modern-day “Churches”, “Hospitals”, and Government Entities – DON’T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY! They are ALL CORRUPT. WHY? Because money and power corrupts! If you really believe that money goes where you are told it is going or lead to believe it is going… you better think again. I was told by the people who teach these folks how to create NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, all that they have to “GIVE” to what they list as their “Charity” is two percent that is 2% of the money they raise. That is it. And if they have a good bookeeper/CPA, they don’t even have to do that. I spoke with a man who goes around the country teaching people how to become millionaires by starting a NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION.
AS for RED CROSS, let me tell you right now that is a business and not a charity. They don’t give two hoots about providing care to those in need and/or distress. Now, I am not saying there are not individuals within the structure that have a loving, giving nature and do their best to help people. But, the CORPORATION RED CROSS is crooked as all get out. Talk to some of the people from Hurricane Sandy, Harvey, Irma or Katrina. Watch some of the videos made by folks who were there. The Red Cross refused to take the donations people had collected because they did not authorize them. They held back the goods, services and funds that were designated for the people in distress.

The Swiss Red Cross (German: Schweizerisches Rotes Kreuz, French: Croix-Rouge suisse, Italian: Croce Rossa Svizzera), or SRC, is the national Red Cross society for Switzerland.
The SRC was founded in 1866 in Bern, Switzerland. In accordance with the Geneva Red Cross Agreement and its recognition through the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, it is a member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The SRC is Switzerland’s oldest and largest relief agency, made up of 24 cantonal leagues, five rescue organizations, three foundations and two societies.

The Swiss Red Cross was established on 17 July 1866 at the instigation of Federal Councillor Jakob Dubs and the Red Cross members Gustave Moynier and Guillaume-Henri Dufour. After its foundation, the SRC named itself as an “aid organisation [Hülfsverein] for Swiss soldiers and their families”.
Building the national organisation was, however, full of difficulties. For one thing, there was very little consistency in the organisation of Switzerland at the federal level at this time, and for another the organisation was hindered by political and confessional arguments. Also, Switzerland’s neutrality and the existence of the International Committee of the Red Cross as an institution in Swiss civil-society posed further difficulties.
In 1882 the Zurich Pfarrer Walter Kempin founded the “Centralverein des Schweizerischen Roten Kreuzes” (Central Verein of the Swiss Red Cross), and was its leader until 1885. It lasted until the start of the 20th century, with the appointment of the doctor Walther Sahli as standing Central Secretary in 1898 from the Centralverein and with the Hülfsverein founded by Dubs, Moynier and Dufour beginning to consolidate the SRC structures. As a result, cantonal and local sections were established, Red Cross nursing organisations formed and transport sections set up. In 1903 the official role of the SRC was codified in a decree of the Federal Assembly, as a promoter of the nursing and in the service of the army.
With the invasion of the Bourbaki army in March 1871, the SRC saw its first action as an auxiliary arm. It counted, interned 85,000 for six weeks in Switzerland to furnish member of the French army medically.

Imagine donating to a charity that professes to help people when, in fact, it was solely created to pilfer money and blood from generous, yet naive, citizens in the time of “manufactured” crises. What’s worse is that the major recipients of these donations are primarily the military-industrial complex and secret societies behind the perpetual war agenda now in place around the world.
To not consider the information presented here would be a great disservice to our spiritual work.
Here are several articles on the Red Cross and what they do with disaster money… Not pretty...
The Red Cross Racket >From Ken Adachi Editor@educate-yourself.org 9-4-5
The American Red Cross or the International Red Cross, like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the World Bank, is an Illuminati-controlled front organization whose true purpose is completely opposite from their stated purpose. The IMF tells the world that they are there to “help” counties recover from economic difficulties (which the IMF and World Bank helped to create in the first place), but in reality, the IMF breaks counties and ruins their economies. The same could be said of the Red Cross.
The moment a ‘natural’ disaster like Hurricane Katrina roars through the southeast, radio and TV spots flood the airwaves seeking monetary donations to be sent to the Red Cross. With heartstring music playing in the background, the radio announcer tells us that the Red Cross is “always there in time of need” and now that the “poor victims of Hurricane Katrina are suffering” with this terrible tragedy, “won’t you open your heart” and make a” generous” donation?
Oh Brother, these guys have the science of bilking people down to a fine art! I can’t take the time to get into a long essay about the Dark Side of the Red Cross, but just try to recall what happened after 9-11:
The dust from the World Trade Center collapses hadn’t even settled before the call went out immediately from the Red Cross to give blood and money to help the victims and the families of the ‘terrorist’ attack. Thousands of people gave blood and even more gave millions upon millions of dollars to the Red Cross. The first question that occurred to me when the Red Cross started asking for blood was: “Blood for whom?”. Everyone was dead! We knew everyone was dead from the very beginning, so why is the Red Cross asking for blood donations day and night for about a week or more?
The answer is reflective of the true purpose of the the Red Cross: the Red Cross is a disaster racket which is in the business of making money from disasters-especially from engineered disasters. They sell the blood, of course, but they apparently also use the blood for other things which the public is generally not privy to.
And what do they do with the money? For the most part, they keep it for themselves! Recall how the families of the victims of 911 had to badger, harass, and threaten the Red Cross in an attempt to get some 11 million dollars that they would not release to the families-even a year later? And that’s what we were told in the media, but how much money did the Red Cross really rake in from 9-11?
The CEO of the Red Cross and other corporate celebrities receive obscene salaries and other big buck perks, while other charities operate on much leaner budgets for use by the charity itself. As I type this short article, I now check my e-mail and find 4 or 5 articles devoted to precisely the same topic, so in order to save time, I’ll let others finish the story for me:

Don’t Give Your Hurricane Donations to the Red Cross.
Establishment charities have a history of withholding disaster funds.
By Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones – September 1, 2005
As the aftermath of hurricane Katrina continues to wreak mayhem and havoc amid reports of mass looting, shooting at rescue helicopters, rapes and murders, establishment media organs are promoting the Red Cross as a worthy organization to give donations to.
The biggest website in the world, Yahoo.com, displays a Red Cross donation link prominently on its front page. Every time there is a major catastrophe the Red Cross and similar organizations like United Way are given all the media attention while other charities are left in the shadows. This is not to say that the vast majority of Red Cross workers are not decent people who simply want to help those in need. But what the media fails consistently to remember in their promotion of the organization is that the Red Cross have been caught time and time again withholding money in the wake of horrible disasters that require immediate release of funds.
The Red Cross, under the Liberty Fund, collected $564 million in donations after 9/11. Months after the event, the Red Cross had distributed only $154 million. The Red Cross’ explanation for keeping the majority of the money was that it would be used to help ‘fight the war on terror’. To the victims, this meant that the money was going towards bombing broken-backed third world countries like Afghanistan and setting up surveillance cameras and expanding the police state in US cities, and not towards helping them rebuild their lives.
Then Red Cross President Dr. Bernadine Healy arrogantly responded when questioned about the withholding of funds by stating, “The Liberty Fund is a war fund. It has evolved into a war fund.”
Despite the family members of victims of 9/11 complaining bitterly to a House Energy and Commerce Committee’s oversight panel, the issue seemed to be brushed under the carpet and the mud didn’t stick.
The Red Cross’ scandalous activities reach back far before 9/11. After the devastating San Francisco earthquake in 1989, the Red Cross passed on only $10 million of the $50 million that had been raised, and banked the rest. Similar donations after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the Red River flooding in 1997 were also greedily withheld.
Smaller charities that were involved with the 2004 Tsunami relief project went public to say that large charities like Red Cross and United Way were engaged in secret backroom negotiations with each other that meant a large portion of the donation money was purposefully restricted from reaching the most needy areas affected by the disaster.
The history is clear, the Red Cross and other large so-called charities are in actual fact front group collection agencies for the military industrial complex. Many informed historians have even alleged that the Red Cross was used as a Skull and Bones cover to overthrow The Russian Czar and pave the way for the rise of the Bolsheviks.
Do not give any money to the Red Cross unless you support the expansion of empire abroad and police state at home. Find a smaller trustworthy organization in the local area of New Orleans and make your donation to them. Don’t Give your Hurricane Katrina Relief Donations to the Red Cross.
United Way is the same thing. DON’T GIVE MONEY TO UNITED WAY. United Way is just a tool they have used to bring all the donations across the country under one covering. It is much easier for them to control that way. Today, anyone needing assistance has nowhere else to go. There used to be different small charities and church groups in local areas where people could find help when they needed it. NOT ANYMORE. Try calling 211/United Way if you are in trouble and need some help! Good luck!
People have let things get this bad because they are basically lazy and selfish. They find it much easier to just send a check once in a while or have a deduction taken from the pay, then actually see their neighbors and community face to face and dig in to help. It is sad. We are the body of Christ. WE should be reaching out to those in need when we see them or where we find them. NOT sending our money to line the pockets of the CORPORATE ELITE!
As for Doctors without Borders, as in all of these “Charitable Organizations,” their cover is the good work that the do, but there is a sinister side and ulterior motive behind the gift. I am not saying that the individuals actually out in the field are good hearted, hard working people doing their best to serve. I am saying the organization itself is evil. It is all part of the NEW WORLD ORDER. They are manipulating you into coming under the One WORLD Government of the AntiChrist. Please believe me. Read my article “THE UN IS NOT YOUR FRIEND”. I am telling you, as GOD is my witness, HEALTHCARE – Medical Care is how they are going to bring you down. Mark my words. Write it down so when it happens you will know, I warned you.
