Vile Loaves & Fishes' con-the-public effort in their July newsletter

The always-vile Loaves & Fishes Administration is unflagging in being their contemptuous-weasels selves.

Their latest newsletter plucks heartstrings in its effort to get into citizens’ wallets while the scumdogs that run Loaves & Fishes are baldface hypocrites -- certain to be swept away one day to the lower reaches of fiery Hell [That is, if there is such a place as Hell. I’m Buddhist and dubious, but hopeful.]

Highlights from the lead article in their July Newsletter are as follows [You can read the whole thing, yourself, here or here]:
Sacramento is a brutal place to be homeless in the summer. The temperature soars well past 100 degrees on day after day. Our guests walk long distances on hot pavements to get to shelters, to hidden nooks and crannies where they can bed down for the night, to doctor’s appointments or to Social Security and employment offices. For those who must live outside, there’s no respite from the soaring temperatures. Spirits flag and tempers erupt under the oppressive heat.

[And, there is this embolded paragraph near the end of their message where, in their snakey way they reach into purses and wallets.]

We need your help to keep our doors open through the summer. We are very, very worried because donations have been down so far this year. We know that we are all sobered by Sacramento’s continuing recession, but, on behalf of our guests, we beg you to help if you are in a position to do so.
Your generosity has always sustained us. We neither seek nor accept any government funding, but instead rely upon the “bank of faith,” your individual decision to help “the least amongst us.”

Last year, on July 4, 2011, the temperature in Sacramento reached into the 100s I was told -- and weather records confirm it. See graph at right, taken from the internet.

Of course, July 4, 2011, was a holiday and the need for Friendship Park to be open was great. Other businesses were closed for the holiday, leaving homeless people stuck, having nothing to do; no place to put their physical selves. Though the staff was in place and the promise was that the park would be open, it was closed at whim shortly after the beginning of the day.

The violin playing by Loaves & Fishes to steal Sacramento citizens' money is abhorrent. It is contemptuous and the height of hypocrisy by some of the worst human beings that ever took a breath. A year ago, it was perfectly fine, from the comfortable perspective of L&F Administraitors sucking on pina coladas, to leave the homeless roasting in the heat.

But today, with similar circumstances, they whip out the violins to get money for THEIR coffers to do who-knows-what? Add another building to their empire? Give the staff membership to a spa or a vacation in Palm Springs? Or send Libby to play around, again, in Washington DC? For THESE WEASELS to call the homeless "the least amongst us" is laughable. The Admistraitors of Loaves & Fishes are, certainly, the least honorable, least truthful, least honest, least respectful, least caring, least aware and most communist people in all of Sacramento. If you want to help the "the least amongst us," paying for the Administraitors at Loaves & Fishes to get psychiatric help is, perhaps, something citizens could and should do.

But DON'T give 'em money. They don't use it responsibly. They're addicted to Empire Building.

Note at the end of the quote up-top in this post they brag about not seeking or accepting government funding. This is true. They don't want the government to be aware of their failures to meet minimal nutritional and safety guidelines. But, for all the buildings they have in their 'compound,' they do not refuse the exemption to having to pay property tax they get as a 501(c) charity. Like Romney, they exploit every rule and then use Orwellian double-speak to misdirect the public.

Sex, Lies and Exegesis

Definition: exegesis [ek-si-jee-sis]: critical explanation or interpretation of a text or portion of a text, especially of the Bible. Painting by He Qi , a prominent artist from China who focuses on Christian themes. This piece is inspired by The Song of Solomon. In his May 21 column, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof stirred up a hornets’ nest. His column wasn’t really a column, it was a quiz, titled “ Religion and Sex Quiz .” The questions and what he provided as the answers were provocative, to say the least. We would later learn, in his follow-up, a post to the Times online in the afternoon of the same day, “ Reader Comments on my Religion Quiz ,” that the information that was used to create the quiz came with the help of Bible scholars, “including Jennifer Knust, whose book inspired [the quiz], and … Mark Jordan of Harvard Divinity School.” Kristof doesn’t name Knust’s book, but a quick googling reveals that it must certainly be Unprotected Texts: The Bible’s...

In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day

Calvin [a "green hat" in Unfriendly Park] makes the argument for continued incompetent management. Hobbes represents me — only, in real life, I don't have that good a coat . In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day In one respect — and only one — that I can think of, Loaves & Fishes is NOT hypocritical: The management hates the way America is run and wants to turn it into a backward communist country . Consistent with that, Loaves & Fishes’ management runs its facility like a backward communist country. The People’s Republic of Loaves & Fishes. A seemingly minor thing happened on New Year’s Day. A couple of people smoked a joint in Loaves & Fishes’ Friendship Park and one of the park directors, or both of them, determined, at about 10am, that, in retribution, they would punish all the homeless there by closing the park for the day. This is something the managers of the park do all the ...

Loaves & Fishes implicates Buddhism and Jack Kornfield in its June Donations Plea.

The Sukhothai Traimit Golden Buddha was found in a clay-and-plaster overlaid buddha statue in 1959, after laying in wait for 500 years. It's huge and heavy: just under 10 feet tall and weighs 5 1/2 tons. At the beginning of their June newsletter , Loaves and Fishes relates a story, taken from the beginning of renowned Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield's 2008 book The Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology . The first part and first chapter in Kornfield's book is "Part I: Who are you really?" and chapter 1 is called "Nobility: Our Original Goodness," which ought to serve as a clue to what the beginning of the book is about, not that that sentiment isn't strewn through-out the chapter, section and book such that what Kornfield is telling us should be crystal clear. Somehow, the not-ready-for-primetime management at Loaves & Fishes have managed to use Kornfield's wise and kindly words in a way that mangles th...
