To the homeless citizens of Sacramento

This flier was one of two (the other one's here) I handed out at the safe ground rally at Caesar Chavez Park on Dec. 29. [Links have been added to aid readers of this blogpost.]

To Homeless Citizens of Sacramento:

You need to be made aware that efforts are ongoing to indoctrinate you into believing communist ideology and involve you in a "class struggle" to overthrow the United States government. [I kid you not!] Loaves & Fishes senior management and Board of Directors are more than passively aware of the effort; they are not blameless.

SHOC's so-called Homeless Leadership Project, with the safe ground movement that stems from it, is a central focus of the indoctrinating scheme. Both Paula Lomazzi and, more centrally, Mark Merin-organization attorney Cathleen "Cat" Williams, both with SHOC, write for People's Tribune, a publication that comes out in hardcopy and can be found online [peoplestribune.org]. SHOC meetings, where Ms. Williams presides, are meant to lead you to believe her view of things, which are that revolution needs to occur in America; capitalism needs to be abandoned; jobs should be guaranteed for all; and that technological advancement must be suppressed.

People's Tribune, and another online publication, Rally, Comrade!, are publications associated with the League of Revolutionaries for a New America, a "disguised" modern-day communist group, an outgrowth of The Communist Party USA, which became The Communist Labor Party, which became The Communist League which transformed into the League of Revolutionaries in the 1980s. Nelson Peery is a leading long-time Communist connected with the League and both publications. You can read about him at wikipedia.com

Communism is a morally bankrupt ideology that has been tried dozens of times in the world. It has always failed because it puts an end to freedom and disincentivizes work which then causes a spiral of poverty. Except for the few in power, people living in communist countries have miserable lieves. Walls are put up to keep people from fleeing to democratic countries. Those in power invariably create a totalitarian regime to keep from being overthrown. Over one hundred million innocent people were summarily murdered in communist countries in the 20th Century. It is a key lesson of the 20th Century THAT COMMUNISM MIGHT SOUND LIKE A GOOD THING TO SOME, BUT IT DOESN’T WORK! It NEVER works because it is oppressive and contrary to what can allow people and societies to thrive.

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...

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 ...

Common ground on safe ground. Common sense, not communism.

Mayor Kevin Johnson at Safe Ground campground. [ twitpic : share photos on Twitter] For the second week in a row, I attended the Tuesday meeting of the SHOC Homeless Leadership Project effort to achieve safe ground , at the Delaney Center at the Loaves & Fishes facility. [ Here , my account of the prior week's mtg, which provides much the same news that was today's Top Story in the Bee .] I was reluctant to attend. Though I endorse core objectives of the group – support for a currently existant encampment of homeless people, called Safe Ground; and the mayor's effort, with Stepping Stone, to create a legal homeless encampment in Sacramento – the group evidences a lot of troubling Leftist attitudes and practices. Nonetheless, I was encouraged to attend and it became known to me that people were fully aware I was a blogger. [Both the prior week and today I introduced myself as being with Sacramento Homeless blog. Today, Paula Lomazzi of SHOC commended my article " A...
