Loaves & Fishes and the 2010 Census, Act Two

Loaves & Fishes has now sent around a second flier relating to their interdiction into the private, personal responsiblities of homeless adult citizens to participate in the 2010 Census.

The new flier is the same as the prior day's flier [See yesterday's blogpost] except that the paper it's on is bright pink and the middle paragraph has been changed, allowing everyone who seeks lunch in the L&F soup kitchen to be served, rather than just those who have given data that morning to census workers at the L&F compound. BUT, punitively, those not cooperating with Loaves & Fishes' management of the census cannot be served their lunch until late — beginning at 12:30pm — and will not gain access to L&F's Friendship Park and its myriad services.

The new second paragraph, relating to census participation in the L&F cul-de-sac on Mar. 30, reads as follows:
On this date Friendship Park will be open only to those who participate, beginning at 7am.  Lunch tickets will be provided at 12:30 to those who choose not to participate.  Census staff will be set up in the cul-de-sac to assist you in completing the census.  It is our desire that every individual stand up and be counted.
A policy of restricted, denied and delayed services for homeless people who do not give fealty to L&F management remains in place.

The Big Mommyism of Loaves & Fishes is a reprehensible, ongoing problem.  People who have fallen out of their lives should not be denied the basic rights of other American citizens.  Indeed, homeless people should not be used as tools by Loaves & Fishes and the other far-far-Leftist, totalist homeless-aid nonprofits in Sacramento.

The regional Census Bureau for Sacramento, headquartered in Seattle, has been advised of the problems. It is greatly hoped they will intervene and block Loaves & Fishes management interference in the 2010 Census count.

Regular American citizens do not have a third-party sticking its nose in the personal, private business that is between them and their government. Here's a news flash: Homeless Sacramentans ARE regular American citizens. Get the hell out of the way, Loaves & Fishes.

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 ...

Far-left visionaries at "Homeless Power Forum" hope to transform America [into Bulgaria?]

Poster from " Hobo Art Show " at Western Regional Advocacy Project website.  Paul Boden, a keynote speaker at the Homeless Power Forum, is WRAP's Executive Director. Yesterday, "Homeless Power Forum: Vision & Survival" was held at the Delany Center at Loaves & Fishes. Thinking it was about to end (I should read my literature, dummy!), I stayed for only the first hour-and-a-half of a 5 1/2 hour program. But that was enough to hear the "keynote speakers," Ethel Long-Scott and Paul Boden, and to sound alarm bells about the direction of the Safe Ground effort. Today, I believe that the confusion that is implicit in the many meanings that have been given to safe ground , also spelled capitalized [Safe Ground], and as one word [SafeGround], is intentional: to lead people in the homeless community in Sacramento from the most positive and favorable meaning, a legal homeless campground, to a hopelessly-naive political far-far left Utopian vision o...
