The Banality of the Homeless US System is About Genocide, Some of US Were Forced Into Homelessness, ADA Violations at Interfaith Sanctuary



Over a long period of time I have written about my life as a homeless person, the injustice I suffered in Alaska and then the very strange harassment that has gone on for years including very strange mobbing behaviors at a USDA RD subsidized, predatory non-profit owned apartment complex in Soldotna Alaska. I have a much better understanding of that now. Apparently the JTTF/FUSION/FBI/CIA here in Idaho has started their Stasi tactics on me helping to make this clear, thanks for the intel, oh and of course it means I am telling the truth because why bother harassing and disrupting a person who lies or is crazy. They spend huge amounts of money on disrupting the lives of people who have pissed off politicians, community bullies, other forms of scum and as someone recently said, the “bad rich people in power.” It is a type of invisible occupying army.

Keep in mind the ultimate goal of the NJTTF is the death of those they make homeless. Now you are thinking, wait a minute, that means they know homeless people are dying. Yes, they do and why build low income housing when you can just keep the homeless in horrible conditions until they get hit by a car, have a cardiac event, stop breathing while in a ketoacidotic coma or have a stroke. Just fill up the low-income housing with immigrants, our own homeless people will die in the USA’s internal genocide, fueled by horrible paying jobs, unhealthy food that has caused people to become disabled, poor elderly who are abandoned by their country, opioid targeting of the homeless population, heavy psychotropic use for sedation, intentional traumatizing facilitated by the homeless shelters and prison system. Remember how the NAZIs went after the disabled first, and then progressed to those they perceived as others? Those vulnerable people who are in the shelters are the targets. 

BTW, homeless people get hit by cars often and it is not reported in the news here in Boise. Some of them are intoxicated and contributed to the accident, but the drivers here are unbelievable. The guy found dead in the canal had been hit by a car, was in a wheel chair, and had been doing lots of drinking, these are facts. There are rumors of a situation where he may have been targeted that are not known to me to be facts. The important thing to understand here is the news media all simply regurgitated the press release about him that left all the details out. 

I do not ever drink, nor use drugs. I must walk for much of my transportation. The drivers in Boise Idaho are very egocentric and numb nutted and I am very angry about the police not doing anything about how dangerous it is for pedestrians. I am nearly hit by a car every two to three days and I watch carefully for cars. They always give that Boise fake smile and a little wave right after they almost kill you, you know, the same smile all the minimum wage workers use due to not even being paid enough to have a place to live. Recently I was in the middle of a cross walk and a man was stopped at a stop sign, he gunned his engine and came at me, stopping about two feet from me. It was as if he waited and then wanted to scare me, hmmm. Last week I was crossing a street where a motorcycle cop was sitting at a red light in the front. I was part way through a cross walk and the light was on my side. A car cut right in front of me, the cop just sat there. I stopped and said he had just witnessed a traffic violation, but did nothing. He pretended not to hear me and I repeated it, he did the same thing. I have had a cop car cut me off and one run at me. What is the deal Boise Police Department and why does the news media not report anything about the homeless being hit by cars and other incidents? The genocide will not be televised. 

I have not written about much of my experiences and observations here in Boise Idaho as a homeless person due to hoping a little information would cause changes, some changes were made. The thing is one can’t make those who are in charge suddenly have empathy, they lack it and shall remain that way until their death. It remains that disabled people who have invisible disabilities are treated like crap, especially myself. Multiple ADA accommodation requests were made at the Interfaith Sanctuary, multiple requests to file a grievance were made, letters were obtained from a doctor, it was all ignored. It is a fact that the laws of Idaho specify each non-profit have a grievance process, but strangely no one enforces that law and the attorney general’s office did a Sargent Schultz routine for me, I know nothing. The letters from the physician were not written with proper medical language reflecting lack of understanding on the part of the physician. Doctors by design of the government know nothing about ME/cfs, except for a few specialists with lists years long those of us on Medicare will never see. 

I am just now getting over a huge flare up of ME/cfs. I have had a horrible time and every night at the shelter have difficulty showering. It is generally understood that showering makes people with ME/cfs very ill. Often there is harassment in the women’s showers and one must pick up garbage and clean mud before even starting to remove clothing, only ten minutes are allotted. Once I had a shower stall where someone had peed all over the dressing side.

I am attempting not to get ill from yet another pathogen at the shelter as I have immune system problems. I ask the staff not to put their hands that go all over the property of others on my paper cup or anything else. I have stopped using their towels as they are handled by multiple people and strange things happen like a guy folding them by using his mouth, yes that was happening, but not as odd as the one who was covered in dirt and would go out and touch garbage, then go back to folding, he was wearing a construction vest which added to the whole scenario. When I approached Dan Ault about that he was condescending, implied I was lying and then tried to make me feel bad I was not folding laundry. Many of us learned long ago not to get involved with them in any way or there is more abuse. Right after Dan implied I was lying the guy walked by covered in dirt. I never lie about anything. 

There is little supervision unless I make a request for accommodation, then they actively and illogically deny very simple things. The issue last night was a paper cup. At first in an accusing tone, the student of social work asked if I had gotten one when I came in. Of course not, otherwise I would not be asking for another one and the chaos at the desk when we come in has a lot to do with people forgetting. You would not believe the abuse that has occurred around paper coffee cups at that shelter. There was one staff I nicknamed ‘The Coffee NAZI,’ no coffee for you.

In the past we could bring a bottle of water into the dorm but due to alcohol use, they finally caught on, they said we could not do that. So now they drink booze out of their lockers. We were told we could instead put some water into our paper coffee cups. Last night Dan Ault said we were not allowed to have water in our paper cups. Dan told me I should bring my own cup, come in to get water and go outside to drink it. We are not allowed outside after 9 PM so I can get into my locker. There are others at the shelter who were there when we were told no water bottles but we could put water in the paper cups. There is blowing air, frequent viruses, lots of allergens in Boise people cough and take sips of water so others can sleep. 

This is called sabotage a bullying technique, change the rules so people can’t be successful. It’s sad watching people at the shelter digging used cups out of the garbage cans in the morning so they can have coffee and that of course spreads pathogens. Apparently, the germ theory of disease is not believed in Boise Idaho. It is also apparent that the social work program at BSU is devoid of science. What they are learning at the shelter is bullying 101.

We all cracked up when for several weeks a woman had a ­­­gallon bottle of water on her bed right next to where staff walked and they never noticed. We watched every night as the hoard of social work students walked by. There were plastic bins and then garbage bags full of things on beds they either ignored or never saw as well. Since the social work students are rarely supervised it took quite a while for a regular staff to notice. Dan would go by and grab whatever the contraband was and we would crack up because he had no idea it had gone on for weeks. I wonder why they have bedbugs? LOL. 

Last night I realized that not only is there very little empathy and conscience from the management at the Interfaith Sanctuary, but they are intentionally doing ugly things to cause problems. This is when I knew I had made a big mistake holding back publishing. I also had a friend who cut and pasted something I wrote about the day before. He forgot to add my name so commenters thought it was him on vacation. They thought he was in a third world country, one of them asked if he was doing one of his research projects and another one said that did not sound like a good vacation. It was hilarious to me, but also sad. The homeless are living in third world or fourth world conditions in the United States with little hope for housing by design. Many of the homeless are not responsible for their plight, due to disabilities, being elderly, economic conditions, lack of housing and some of us were made homeless.

I have ME/cfs and have had it as far back as my memory goes, to about age three. I believe I have had this my whole life. The government demonized the illness as well as those who have it, refused to do research, put shills on committees etc. Recently through private funding we have had huge break throughs, broken Krebs cycles, calcium transport into cells issues and now evidence it is a very complex autoimmune disease. We have complex symptoms and certainly it is clear I was never get health care in Boise Idaho. 

I believe DES caused my health issues. My government allowed drug companies to sell a drug called DES, diethylstilbestrol  to pregnant women with the false claim that it prevented miscarriages. Back then people were told by advertisements even from doctors cigarettes were good for them and other crazy things. My mother had endometriosis, smoked cigarettes and was anorexic, of course she had miscarriages. They did a surgery and gave her a high dose of DES which effected the development of every cell in the fetus that would be me. Doctors are not what people think they are, there are some very intelligent ones who do research, but most just follow like sheep. They believed what the drug companies told them and for some reason ignore their own observations in their practices, not all of them, but most. This was a scam to make lots of money done at the same time as Thalidamide. You can’t see the vaginal cancer, the silent trauma, the breast cancer, the deformities of the sex organs, the brain changes, the immune system problems, especially autoimmune, the infertility, the abnormal bone cells, behavior changes due to androgenization of the females and the feminization of the males, the DES exposed men who are trans-sexual and the silent trauma. They paid off lawyers and put false news articles in newspapers to prevent us from organizing for compensation. We had to bear the burden of the health care costs along with our insurance companies. Later they did procedures on us that caused more harm to make money.

The FDA allowed this and we now know they facilitate dangerous drugs being sold. DES did not prevent miscarriages, it caused them. The medical schools are controlled by drug companies who make large donations allowing them to dictate what goes on, they stopped them from teaching future doctors about DES. When I seek health care they know nothing about a DES Daughter and say all kinds of crazy things to me. I can only go to an older GYN, but in Boise I can’t get real health care on any level. Those who have ME/cfs are treated like garbage and in Idaho nothing is known. We are misdiagnosed. I also have PTSD, females with PTSD are often misdiagnosed. I have misdiagnoses in my medical records from Terry Reilly and I would like some questions answered about the staff who did this. Then when I complained about that and the false claims of the MD director who says his specialty is mental health when he is not a psychiatrist or psychologist, they fired me as a patient, like I was going back there. I did go back to throw a speech about a mentally ill woman who had been thrown out of the Interfaith Sanctuary in the winter, was outside all night and in very bad shape that day. I would often go looking for her and help keep her from being thrown out of Albertsons so she could warm up. I called Adult Protective Services who are of course about as helpful as a broken crutch everywhere. Adult Protectie Service everywhere is about the same, working on the streets with the homeless, prostitutes and in the those crap buildings they had in Spokane in the 1980s they did nothing and let my elderly clients just die.  

One of the main functions of these clinics of incompetence all over the country is to load the homeless up on psychotropic meds. Half of the mental health problems among the homeless are caused by the abuse at the shelters, from the police abuse, from the communities, from the bullying and from having their property lost or stolen often by staff at the shelters (over and over). People are dehumanized in so many ways and given very few choices to be healthy, this disentagrates people. One can’t even be themselves, can’t do simple things like crochet, sew, read, garden, can’t cook a meal but instead we must eat unhealthy food. Just like in the inner city areas of larger cities where there are mostly minorities even if the homeless have money to buy food it is unhealthy, can be difficult to get to and the healthy food is in another area of the city. Even the only grocery store has limited choices, especially when we of course have no refrigeration or cooking facilities.  
Everything is taken from us. In my case I was made homeless intentionally so these things would happen to me and it happens to others. I don’t care if the people running this nightmare think I am crazy or they tell people that, there are people who know I am telling the truth, their numbers are growing and some are in the same situation as me. They harm health and in combination with the high sugar and low nutrition diets of the homeless cause diabetes mellitus, heart disease, strokes etc. They call this helping the homeless. What the homeless need is housing, but instead of housing we have meetings and lies given to the public. How can those who go to the meetings help people get into housing when there isn’t any?

The Hell of Being Homeless in Boise Idaho





When it is cold sometimes I just get on a bus to go somewhere I can be warm, get coffee and food and some days to wait for some of the ice on the sidewalks to melt. I did that the day before yesterday. I had to take two buses on the dysfunctional bus system, walk on ice and risk getting my shoes wet. On the way back after the first bus let me off at the main transit center downtown I saw the lobby area was filled with children obviously from some school. Myself and others were waiting for the number 5 bus. Then the kids all started to flow out of the building to get on that bus. We were essentially run off from riding the number 5. That was OK because the number 4 was coming and took us where we needed to go. We waited for it. There were so many kids they could not all get on the number 5, so just before the number 4 showed up someone who worked for the bus company came out to tell them and the adults with them they could just get on the number 4 it was almost there. They took over that bus, the kids were allowed to stand in the front of the bus, the adults oblivious. The bus driver told them if there was an empty seat to sit down. There were seats by other kids but one came and sat on my bag. I have immune system issues and try to avoid places filled with kids of direct contact with them. Just like so many other times I did not get the services I paid for on that bus once again and was treated like I did not matter. I complained and was told someone would call and as per usual have gotten crickets. I don’t even know what to do anymore, can’t walk much due to ice and flooding because of lack of maintenance of sidewalks and streets, can’t take the bus due to cray-cray nearly every time I ride. Boise is a very oppressive place for low income or homeless people. It’s not the bus drivers that are the problem, in fact some of them are very skilled at figuring out how to park the bus so people walking on ice have an easier time, nope it’s the higher ups making bad decisions.
Last night I was nearly hit by two egocentric Boise Idaho drivers which is SOP due to traffic laws not being enforced. If one of them had hit me that would considered a civil matter in Boise Idaho because all crimes against the homeless are considered civil matters here. I have however had cops come in a laundromat to ask me if I was doing laundry which of course if you know me caused a flurry of comments to cops trying to turn myself in for multiple counts of doing laundry while homeless. Last night four cops were at the shelter, two at the door and two inside. I stopped and said to the outside ones, “How did you know I was here”, the reply was, oh we just know these things. Once inside some cop demanded to know my name, I gave him a male name but they were not able to get the joke, so I said my real name, but don’t know if they can legally just go around asking names in Idaho. The police just treat the homeless any old way.  
Then getting to the Interfaith Sanctuary I found some woman had put her muddy robe over my locker with it draping down over the front. There are constant problems like this going on due to poor supervision. There were tons of staff on, but no one really checks the areas where the lockers are. I could not even go inside and get something to clean it with before opening the door due to not being able to bring my damn bag inside. That was the beginning of a typical night of hell.
Then came the riotous loud talking that goes on in the dorm for long periods of time, people who don’t talk, they yell.  At least last night I did not have to stand in the bathroom with postural tachycardia syndrome nearly passing out waiting to get into the shower room like usual, nor did I have to listen to women arguing over the showers or have some woman whose time for showering was 7PM, but she showed up at 7:10 PM, my shower time and try to tell me she was going before me like the night before. That kind of crap is constant. After showering I went out to clean my locker which also included the coffee someone had gotten all over it.
I used to get up early and sit in the main room every morning, then after they turned the lights on drink coffee and talk to some people. That ended with the new night staff and the new policies. They ran me out of that room and the morning was the only good time there, IT ALL SUCKS NOW ALL THE TIME.
Often when I go in the Conex box where my locker is there are people smoking. It is bad enough that people are forced to breath second hand smoke (children are also exposed) to go in and out of the building which includes people standing right next to the damn door, but we also must have some egocentric stand next to us smoking while we are trying to get to our things together in a fricking box with little lighting. We can only bring a gallon size baggie of stuff in at a time so must run outside into the freezing cold several times each night. They use strings of Christmas lights and they go out every now and then so then there is no light at all. Those who smoke in the Conex boxes are exposing people to health harming substances while also placing those chemicals on the property of others. If anything is said most of them then say their rights are being violated, they really do. The homeless are disposable people so why should anyone care. If you complain about it like I do the result is to be despised. I have news for everyone, I despise you more.  
This morning after doing my chore I go to get my stuff to leave, some asshole was smoking a cigarette in the Conex box. I said something about it and he called me multiple names, including “bitch” and the old bastard who I’m guessing has an alcohol issue challenged me to a fight. He really did, “Come on, come at me.” Yep, this is the life of a homeless woman who worked hard after having a drug company damage her health in utero with the assistance of the FDA and other agencies to cover it up and only tell part of the truth. I also did lots of good in my life and many things that took much courage while being ill and having to deal with a medical community who treated DES daughters and women with ME/cfs in an abusive way due to being sheep of the FDA, NIH and CDC. The DES caused the ME/cfs.  I am an intelligent, educated homeless woman who is 61 years old in empathy-less, propaganda driven Boise Idaho. What this guy does not know is if he wants to attack me I will kick his ass, but I don’t want to fight and will defend myself if I must.
The stress of having to deal with people like this which includes some of the staff is health harming. The constant bullying is health harming and can even kill people. I have PTSD already from workplace bullying and fighting to do something about a corrupt and incompetent IHS hospital, massive chemical dependency issues that were secondary to trauma and the failure of law enforcement to arrest men who raped Native women in remote villages in Alaska. Many homeless people have been traumatized to continue to inflict trauma upon us at the homeless shelters of death is unconscionable. I also wrote about injustice and politics finding myself under surveillance under the Obama administration like so many others. I am a real liberal, not a Democrat, well read and have the ability to see the truth and tell it.  
I will continue to defend myself from second and third hand cigarette smoke by writing about it and verbally complaining. I went inside, told the staff and used one swear word, the reaction was to tell ME not to use that word there. REALLY, CONSIDERING YOU ALLOWED A WOMAN TO CALL ME A FUCKING BITCH EVERY MORNING FOR WEEKS, HARASS THE HELL OUT OF ME, KEEP ME AWAKE ALL NIGHT LONG AND HAVE OTHER WOMEN GET INTO HER BED BELOW MINE WHICH ROCKED LIKE THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE, REALLY YOU SAY THAT TO ME. She’s still at the shelter, no problem for them, but if I swore describing what went on, well that’s a problem. That’s the Interfaith Sanctuary, always hypocritical, abusive and illogical. They can kiss my ass. Oh, and get this, if I call the police about the threats of assault or harassment I have been told they will take my bed or throw me out of the shelter. Is that even legal? Yes, the victim is the main problem at the “sanctuary.”
Yesterday before I went back to the shelter I read the latest propaganda on the Interfaith Sanctuary from KBOI/2. They are apparently one of two official propaganda news media outlets here in Boise. Their article states that the weather is the reason the homeless people are having such a hard time with viruses. Really? Have you heard of the germ theory of disease? We don’t have the poor law in the USA, instead we have the non-profit industrial complex which is by policies manipulated by the federal government to all do things the same way, BRUTALLY, UNSAFELY, HEALTH HARMINGLY AND MOST CERTAINLY TO TREAT THE HOMELESS LIKE FUCKING ANIMALS! Last year I was sicker, almost died, they did not care and were probably hoping I would die. I could not get health care as Terry Reilly misdiagnosed me twice within five minutes of arriving to see one of their doctors. Then they fired me because I got all truth revealing on them. There will be more on that.
There was ice on the sidewalks last winter but not as much snow and not as cold for so long, but people were sicker. It has nothing to do with the weather, it’s about the horrible conditions the homeless are forced to live in. We are all packed together in tight quarters, many don’t bathe or wash clothing, they rub against people when they walk by, they may have sat on sidewalks or lay down on the ground, they don’t wash their hands, they touch everything, many don’t cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing, many are alcoholic which decreases Zinc absorption and more, huge numbers smoke cigarettes and there is no teaching at all about prevention transfer of infectious agents. On top of this are the Dyson blowers at Corpus Christi which blow bacteria and viruses all over the place and they a jam packed with people as well. One of the biggest problems is the poor nutrition and a huge lack of vegetables in the diet of the homeless.
The staff touches everything including the homeless ID cards they force us to carry, I won’t let them touch mine. I get crap when requesting a no-touch towel for showering. All I want is a barrier to their hands that have been all over everything. A tissue for picking it up works fine. Both volunteers and staff have given me crap about. Some of them unbelievably do things like put the towels on the counter around the desk area where multiple people come through and place their hands and objects. I had one staff go into a tirade, screaming at me he was tired of me treating everyone like they are germaphobes because he got his slander backwards. He did this in front of a room full of people and there were other incidents.
I went by KBOI this morning. The troll that guards their door would not let me in because the truth is like kryptonite to them. I did manage to tell her I had a newsflash for them, there is a regulation in Boise that property owners are to clear the sidewalks next to their property and they are severely out of compliance and have been for months. Then the troll slipped me a piece of paper so I could leave a message of truth and then not get a call back due to truth being so icky to them and all.
In Boise, decent people are packed into a homeless shelter where sociopaths prey upon them, where people make threats to assault others and are still allowed in the shelter, where drunk women can rant, rave and argue for hours disturbing everyone else and where women can stand and bully/threaten a woman for snoring night after night with no intervention from the staff except when she goes into the hospital to say she is glad for everyone. All problems take long periods of complaining and being gaslighted for anything to get done.  All requests to meet with the board are ignored and now Dan Ault is blocking my emails.
Their article of propaganda discussed how people could not sleep due to coughing, but apparently keeping people awake due to being high or drunk is not a problem for them.
I had to run errands today walking on ice because the laws of Boise Idaho are not enforced unless the person is poor, especially the homeless. The property owners are supposed to clear the sidewalks, but suffer no consequences if they do not. There are dangerous conditions all over so those with disabilities are not able to be mobile, this not only affects their ability to get around, but also their health, they can’t walk to get exercise. It seems to me someone should do something about these massive violations of the ADA laws in Boise. Hell, the Interfaith Sanctuary doesn’t even keep the ice cleared at the shelter. Last year I fell on the ice and this year the disabled, elderly and well anyone are in danger of fractures or head injuries. One path, just one fucking path is all they would have to maintain, but then even if they did that there is the unmaintained alley of ice, unless the weather gets warmer and then it’s ice and flooding.
After the errands, I made the mistake of going to the main library where they are once again painting without any damn notice what-so-fucking-ever! I sit in a fucking hall away from the unsupervised problems of people playing videos with no headphones or putting on damn fingernail polish etc. If I had not gone over there I would not have known they were painting so I could leave the area and even though it has given me a headache, nausea and tinnitus the symptoms would have been worse if I had just sat in the area for hours not knowing what was going on. I complained about this all last summer FFS! Nothing was done, nothing but condescending comments from people who don’t give one shit. I asked them to simply post a notice a few days before the painting, but oh no fuck everyone in Boise who is trapped in the hell of homelessness and has mitochondrial dysfunction or allergies. Fuck all of us.
A deputy city attorney called to say she talked to the library as I also did who told her they would be more sensitive in the future. I will not believe that until I see it.
