You Will Be Tiny. You Will Be Happy.

Welcome To The New World Order.  You Are Now A Tiny Human.

by Gypsy Cool

As we predicted, “homeless” has now become the latest big industry for all the greasy Los Angeles political class and their wealthy developer donors.  The new buzz words are “Tiny Homes”.  Understanding this psychological warfare against a hapless segment of the population is important.

Your Happiness Will Be Big

First, the government creates a problem, a big one.  It started many years ago.  There were always small sections of big cities where poor folks lived in “skid row” substandard housing.  The industrial revolution shoved people off the farms and into the big cities.  Then came the 1929 crash and the depression.  People were living in urban areas and could not farm and feed themselves.

After World War 2, the political class in Washington, led by Lyndon Johnson, decided to create The Great Society.  Urban “Renewal” was pushed out and huge parts of inner cities, the poor areas, were gutted.  The plan was to build new housing, which they did, but if you look at the statistics, only around 50% of the units torn down were replaced.  This pushed thousands of people out on the streets.

Living in an old substandard hotel was still better than sleeping on a piece of  cardboard on the street. Nevertheless, the homeless crises was being created.  Immigration increased, bringing millions of homeless into the U.S.  Poor people from other countries poured in looking for jobs.  The major cities began their own “redevelopment” projects, a nifty scam to grab land cheap and let the developers build huge projects that would puff up the property tax revenues.  The losers were the small property owners who were forced to sell their property to the redevelopment agencies, the displaced merchants, and millions more newly minted homeless who were kicked out of the cheap run down hotels onto the pavement.

After the housing crash in 2008, thousands more got the boot from the mortgage scandals.  Cities like San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles had thousands sleeping on the streets.  It has gotten so bad in Hollywood that it is hard to find folks who want to go there to shop or work in the fancy office buildings built by the “redevelopment” process.

So the politicians decided to take advantage of it.  The started pushing bond issues, enriching the banks and pension funds who buy the bonds, and shoveling billions to developers to build housing for the homeless.  This became an immediate failure because when 300,000 homeless are pouring across the unguarded borders every month, even China couldn’t build houses fast enough.  The cost of homeless housing soared to about a half a million dollars each, and the lag time to get the land and build the housing was not working.  It was obvious, even to a few Judges.

So the latest PR effort is to build “Tiny Houses”.  Little villages to house the little unwashed leprechauns, the lazy druged up lilliputians of the inner cities. Since the majority of the homeless population has no real political power, they are now pushed into Tiny Villages, into those cute colorful little houses, where they will be happy living under some type of goofy martial law.  Welcome to the New World Order.  You will own nothing.  You Will Be Happy. You will not be a 100 % citizen.  You will not even be 3/5th of a person.  You Will Be Tiny.  Because if you dare to crawl out of your tiny house we will step on you.  We feed you.  We give you medical injections. We give you clothes.  You are Tiny. You are nothing.

This psychological brain-washing, degrading the un-housed humans is now in vogue.  In the donkey states the Marxist Mayors like L.A.’s Bass has abandoned her old failed communist theories and become a mouthpiece for the new 5% Big People who rule the roost. The tragic irony of this is that the cost of building and maintaining tiny homes is so high that it really equals as much as just giving somebody a $2600 a month housing allowance. But then they wouldn’t be Tiny.  And the developers wouldn’t make all that money.  And the politicians wouldn’t have all that power.

The politicians now have huge bureaus with big budgets, the developers are making big bucks and the homeless population gets larger every month fed by a collapsing economy and endless thousands of homeless pouring into the cities every month.  It’s a treadmill roaring faster and faster every year, sucking up billions of dollars of inflationary printing press money.  And you all know where that is going to end.  Eventually, if not sooner.

Check out the detailed report on Tiny Housing.  Interesting that the secretive politicians are even hiding the real costs of their Tiny World.

Food Support for Homeless Veterans

Hundreds of Veterans Living in Tents at Westwood VA Facility

by Uncle Paulie

As our last video showed, hundreds of veterans are living in tents, both on and off the VA Facility in Westwood   A group of Old Veterans Guard has been collecting donations and putting up nice tents for those in need.  Our trip this week, with a carload of food, was interesting as there are even more tents on the inside and outside of the property than we saw on our trip last week.  Those on the outside are not allowed in to use the washing or bathroom facilities.  Conditions almost rival that of some battlefield situations where you at least would get food, water and rotation out.  The veterans have organized their camp on the outside, and keeping it as clean as possible, removing trash, etc.  They are doing the best they can.

We picked up a load of bagged sandwiches from the West Hollywood Food Coalition and the Salvation Army.  These are complete lunches made by high school students and concerned parents.  The official food banks are running low on food according to our information.  A group we volunteer with, Earth Harmony Foundation, has seen it’s food donations fall by about 80% from the markets that donate “expired food”.  The government food chain is tottering, and hopefully will not collapse, as thousands of folks depend on it.  Here’s our video below, we hope to put up an interview with the Veterans in the next few days.  Video by Julie Webster.

Large Veteran Homeless Camp Outside Los Angeles V.A.

Video Tour of West Los Angeles Veterans Administration Homeless Camp

Things are definitely getting worse in Los Angeles as the so-called “Lock Down” continues.  Food supplies at homeless shelters are running low.  Despite the City claiming that homeless are being put into hotels, the number on the streets seems to have increased.  As more and more layoffs occur, more folks will lose their apartments and be out on the street.  The homeless camp at the V.A. pictured in the video has grown in the last few weeks, and now over 50 tents are actually on the front lawn of the property, as well as two encampments on the outside.  Questions for the VA:

Can the VA provide the homeless veterans with portable bathrooms and showers?

Can the VA provide food for the homeless veterans who are sleeping around the compound?

Can the VA provide medical help to the homeless veterans?

Can the VA provide any personal protection masks, disinfectants and gloves?’

Can the VA even provide trash cans and help keep the area clean?  It looks pretty bad.

They want you to fight and die for your country.  Can they bring themselves to organize these facilities to take care of the veterans in the time of their need?

State of California CalRecycle Hits CVS With $3.6 Million Enforcement Action

CVS Refuses To Refund Bottle Deposits to Consumers Triggering Massive Fine

Snared by State Regulations

As we have seen, the collapse of California’s Recycling program has caused problems and huge losses in many sectors.  The closing of Recycling giant RePlanet and many other recycling centers like the huge Santa Monica Recycling Center was the end result of gross mismanagement by various City and State Bureaucrats.  The head of CalRecycle is said to be resigning at the end of the year.  Meanwhile, consumers struggle to find places to redeem their bottles and cans.  Stores and chains that refuse to pay back the deposits/or send a $100 per day extortion fee to the State are being fined, like the recent CVS $3.6 million.

How did we get to this point?  Certainly the Federal Government bears some responsibility.  The China trade war resulted in China stopping and/or slowing its massive buying of recycled products from the U.S.  “We don’t want your trash” they said.  Part of that problem would be the big exporters dumping too much contaminants into the loads.  Part is retaliation for U.S. trade sanctions.  A big slow-down of China purchases of scrap caused the prices to fall, putting pressure on our recycling industry.  The big losers in all this are not just RePlanet type shops, but the cunsumers have been really screwed.

The State of California, meanwhile, continues to rake in the bucks.  They make money either way.  Now that hundreds of recycling centers have closed, payouts for redeeming bottles and cans go down, but income from charging consumers 5 and 10 cents per container continues to pour in to State coffers by the millions.  A bigger profit for the greedy State.  Plus they now can collect millions more by fining the stores for not complying with the rules.  The chains and convenience stores did not see this coming, and they didn’t want to have to take back cans and bottles, it’s at times a logistical nightmare for them.

Plus, the State makes even more money by telling consumers to dump their recycled cans and bottles into the “Blue Bins” run by the cities, more money for their partners in this scam, the local cities.  This big mess calls the whole program into question.  Why should the State be involved at all?  Why not let consumers not pay ANY deposit, and just run campaigns to push them to recycle at scrap yards for market prices?  The retailers, stores and chains would be very happy with this.  The consumers would be happy not to pay the deposit.  The thieves who smuggle in millions of bottles to California scrap yards from other states would be out of business.  More scrap yards will open up to process the bottles and cans.  Low income and homeless could once again make a few bucks and get some exercise hunting for scrap.

California should shut down this program.  They can do better by just being cheerleaders for recycling and helping and encouraging the recycling industry to make advancements.  The bottle deposit scam should end now.
