For years I was told the Interfaith Sanctuary would give me a list of apartments. That did not happen. Then Dan Ault the former director began doing harassment after I complained about infectious disease issues, food safety and my probiotics being repeatedly removed from refrigeration by staff. Gosh, I wonder who that could have been.
One of the things he did was put on the exact same play every day when I came in. The performance was done for the volunteers in an attempt to make me look crazy. But instead he made himself look narcissistic. Every day he would say sarcastically that I was welcome, he was so glad a felt safe there due to my complaining about the lack of safety and then went into this crap about how they wanted to find me counseling for PTSD. I would say I needed a place to live instead. Then Dan would say they would give me a list. Then I said I did not believe him as he had said they would for a couple years. He did this play every day so volunteers who came in once a week experienced that craziness several times. It got so bad the volunteers were looking at Dan like WTH?! They should have heard the things he said to me when he caught me anywhere people weren't close by.
One day after months of this narcissistic shit show Dan had a social work student print a search off the internet for affordable apartments and give it to me. So where was this list of apartments he kept talking about before? For a couple years I was on craigslist and other sources looking for apartments even on holidays. I also had the Idaho Housing Finance list.
Another non-profit had me come in for help with finding housing. She went on Craigslist. Yep. You see they talked like they knew things so I thought they had insider information, perhaps a relationship with managers of apartments to assist with helping people find housing. No they don't. Lots of lies are told about helping people find housing in Boise. When I told the other shelter I just needed help with housing they said they don't do that. But all of them tell the public they help hundreds of people find housing every year. How can they help people find housing when there is hardly any and essentially no affordable housing. Also if you are not in the two preferred categories of homeless people you are out of luck, they only want to help families and veterans. If you are an elderly person close to the end of your life you will sit in a homeless shelter being abused, getting unhealthy food, not getting enough sleep, being preyed upon and abused by sociopaths and exposed to infectious diseases. Same for the disabled. These are the two main throw away categories of homeless.
This is the first page of the three page list which is very much shorter than the one I already had. I did not contact any of them due to already being very familiar with multiple contacts with all of them so just put notes on the pages.
This was in 2017, they acted as if there was affordable housing when the truth was people would get Section 8 vouchers 2 or 3 times and run around looking for housing until they expired. The attitude was that you were just not trying hard enough. No I looked every day and made phone calls. If anything in my price range was posted in the evening I had no way to go look and if I left the shelter they would not have let me back in and even if they did it would have been difficult since the buses have limited running times. So the people who rented anything in my price range had cars which helped them immediately get the apartments. I had to go get on a bus in the morning and they were rented by the time I got anywhere. It was just wasted time and energy on my ME/cfs body. One time in 2017 snow was piled up on the sidewalks and no bus stop was by the place I needed to go. I had to walk for miles in partially thawed and refrozen sidewalks which were very dangerous frequently falling. The apartment was given to someone else.
When I finally found an apartment it was untenable and no agencies or the Boise Police did their jobs. Considering what I experienced and the predatory behavior of landlords and management companies here. I would never rent from these egocentrics who FFS raised rents 12.4% during a pandemic when people are having such a hard time. That is unconscionable!
Crazy at the Interfaith Sanctuary, I've been told things are worse.
The new operations director is a nice person, but the systems set up by
FEMA's design facilitate abuse of the homeless. The right wing talks
about FEMA camps. the homeless shelters are the FEMA camps. They are
night prisons for the unsheltered. Stark warehouses, bed bugs, filth,
abuse, crowded conditions causing contagious illness to spread, theft of
property, bullying, gangstalking, narcissistic abuse from staff and
sociopathics often used in positions over the property of the
vulnerable. I was traumatized before arriving, it's been constant trauma
in Boise, the city of bullies, sociopaths and lies.
This is one post from just one day of being tortured in the homeless system in Boise Idaho.
The photo below is from just the day after I fell on the ice inside
the gates of the shelter right about where I stood to take the picture.
That is a BPD vehicle. There was no real bomb scare just a jury rigged
Christmas decoration, but they got called to investigate it at Corpus
Christy day shelter. The grounds were all like this all winter. If
confronted about it Dan Ault would insinuate the person was lazy. He
would state they had no salt to put down and make statements that maybe
the person complaining about it should pay for it. Yes, this is what
went on constantly.
There were elderly women who would
cry in the morning when they came out of the shelter terrified they
might fall and fracture a bone making statements like, I'll never make
it. Some of us helped them get to Corpus Christi the day shelter next
door. There was no way they could get to the soup kitchen at the men's
mission down the street as the sidewalks were in the same condition.
Often I would leave early before most of the others almost like I was
running for my life, because I was, walking in the dark on the slick ice
to find a
warm place to have a cup of coffee. On some days I was looking for two
people
with mental health problems that were thrown out of the shelter for
behavior issues, both very vulnerable, sometimes they were freezing
having been outside all night and in
bad shape. They often would be at Albertsons trying to warm up and
having been awake all night falling asleep. While they dozed off I would
buy a coffee and put it in front of them to prevent them knowing where
it came from, trying to prevent staff from throwing them out. I'm
traumatized again just writing about this.Triggering PTSD is just one of
the reasons I have not posted more about the torture and horrors of
being homeless in Boise Idaho sooner.
In
the photo above and the video below which are both years old the people
are unidentifiable. The families were let in 1/2 hour before the single
people. The single people which include the elderly and disabled are
always last, including from the city in getting housing. Standing on the
ice in the freezing cold caused me to get frost bite. The main toe
affected is still recovering from it years later. I am quite aware of
what frost bite looks like having been an ER nurse in Nome Alaska.
In
this video people are impossible to identify, I was there and don't
recognize anyone. There is a child in the cart that can't be seen and
one behind some adults where only the clothing on the back of the child
can be seen. No child can be identified. This was from December of 2015.
I had been at the shelter about a month at this point.
Throughout
the winter many falls happened with me several times on the shelter
property and on the city sidewalks. The city had so little compassion
and cared so little for the well being of the homeless they allowed
property owners to go without clearing slick ice from the sidewalks. The
soup kitchen down the street was not accessible to many people. The
shelter housed many frail elderly people who if they fell would
certainly have a fracture. I fell several times which included a head
injury leaving blood on the sidewalk. When city hall was called the
reaction was, "We'll send them a letter." There is apparently no
enforcement of any regulations for property owners or any caring about
safety.
This post is about a month after I arrived at the shelter, was already very ill and disgusted by the abuse and conditions.
Library
staff would follow me into the bathroom. It was one staff on the third
floor. Considering her reaction to the Mormon gangstalkers I would say
she is Mormon and a twisted sister.
The IV KCL is my odd sense of humor and related to having been a critical care nurse.
The
chief of police who never returned any phone calls and neither did the
shift commanders of a police department that refused to allow me to file
police reports about harassment, threats of assault and more has
resigned recently stating he is retiring. Several police officers in
Boise should be charged with crimes for what they did to just me, not
allowing police reports, refusing to do anything about harassment,
running cars at me, stalking me, menacing me and most likely compelling
the huge Army of Weaponized Morons in Boise to constantly harass,
sabotage and disrupt me. They did nothing about the drug ring, they
cover things up, the public is never told details about crimes or those
who commit them. All sensational crime defendants are sent for psych
evals for competency for years. I worked in a unit that did that, almost
none of our legal offenders stayed so long and that was decades ago,
there should be advancements in treatment. It seems this is done to
remove the story from the public eye. Are these school plays? Is this
related to the drug ring cover up? Is it an attempt to make Boise look
less crime ridden?
This day I wrote about abive it
was very icy and very cold. Once again I called the administrative
offices of the Interfaith Sanctuary about conditions and abuse which
never got me anywhere so I had to go public and start
whistleblowing.While talking to the secretary who was being quite snotty
I fell on very slick ice. I swore as I fell. The secretary of course
being from Boise Idaho and subject to the standard abusing of people and
then gaslighting their concerns got the vapors because I said fuck.
In
2016 a massive amount of snow fell. Ada County Highway Department when
clearing the streets pushed the snow onto the sidewalks. I lived in
Alaska, that is what happens, then later as soon as the streets were
cleared they came and cleared the sidewalks. They don't come back and
clear the sidewalks here. Mostly it was rural so walking in the cleared
streets to get around was fairly safe, but in Boise it is not. Walking
on the sidewalks piled with snow partially melted or re-thawed was
dangerous also. It was left like that unless the property owner cleared
the sidewalks. I kept calling the mayor's office over and over. Finally,
one time someone came and cleared the sidewalks around the shelters so
people could use the sidewalks. In the spring when the snow melted there
was flooding all around the shelter and everyone had soaking wet shoes
and many had no dry socks to put on walking around the shelter in their
bare feet. The city could have put down some boards or something so
people could get to the property, but instead it was sink or swim.
The
Alaska-centric part of this was not included. I was not able to write
much after getting housing because I was manipulated into an apartment
that was set up for gangstalking. That included the St. Luke's trailer
park being next door for outside noise campaigns and placement of
equipment on the electrical line and in a motorhome by G4S. The
equipment on the electric line was removed 2 days before I moved out of
the Civic Plaza nighmare, I have video. It's a strange story, but very
true. I received shocks in that apartment, hundreds a day and a hell of a
lot more went on.
For years I have been in shock
about how the homeless are treated in Boise, but I was targeted for
harassment, abuse, to harm my health, to psychologically torture me,
sabotage everything I do. There are a lot of evil people in Boise Idaho.
There are also a lot of liars here.
I have not been at
a shelter in Boise since early AM October 1st 2017. Others who are
staying at the Interfaith Sanctuary have told me things got 100 times
worse. I live in a vehicle to protect myself from abuse and the
conditions. There is massive abuse in that situation as well.
Dan Ault received several letters from me about about what went on at
the Interfaith Sanctuary, there was no response other than more abuse
with this and all communications with the administrative staff at the
Interfaith Sanctuary. I held back on much of what I wrote in the past
and other info thinking the city of Boise might wise up, that obviously
never happened and Lauren McClean states she will not withdraw Martin vs
Boise at the SCOTUS if she wins the election. This case could
traumatize, harm the health of and cause the deaths of homeless people
all over the country. If she believes there is another solution why not
take the moral step of withdrawing Martin vs Boise, this helps us
understand who she is. A large number of lies told by those who
provided no affordable housing over a long period of time and then
treated homeless people like objects to be discarded tells a story of
compartmentalized homeless people whose voice has been taken not
allowing the truth to be told. I should have done this sooner, but with
the constant harassment, sabotage, even being injured by a car run at me
last summer, noise campaigns, people spraying things at me and another
project I was working on am behind.
June of 2016: Hey Dan why don’t you ask me how I am today? I’m in severe
pain due to a rather nasty oral infection and quite testy today just as I was
last night. This is due to not being able to sleep and being exposed to
situations where people are all crammed together waiting to check into the
shelter and thus exposed to bacteria. Thanks. Cue the Jesus Jail threats. Cue to illogical
statements.
Because of the illogical decisions around chores I was kept
from a doctor appointment that took me weeks to get a couple weeks ago. Thanks.
I am told chores can’t be started until 7 AM but then on other days they are
started early and when I ask WTH the response is, “You guys want to get out of
here don’t you?” I mean what the hell is wrong with me for not understanding
everything we are told about rules is flexian? You see I was sweeping the
storage building and then picking up garbage for a long time on chore days. I
was there a long time, way past almost everyone else every chore day. But wait,
idiocy comes into play as per usual. I was told I could not sweep the storage
building until 7 AM. So being logical and everything I say, look they put the
plastic bins in the buildings then so I go out early before there are lots of
people, sweep and then start picking up garbage. The concept was not grasped
after several explanations because the stupid is strong. So I’m like well then
OK geniuses I’ll just do a regular chore at 7 AM. Then later I was asked by
staff why I was not sweeping the storage building. I said because of
illogicality and being intercoursed without lubricant, there is no trying to do
any extra work for you people your charley foxtrot system ruins everything.
The day I had the doctor appointment I told them I needed to
just do my chore and leave as I had to be somewhere, I was not concerned as
there was plenty of time, so I was given one of the longer chores, along with
bleach at a higher concentration than 10% which made me ill. Not being able to
finally see a doctor and then being exposed to toxins that made me sicker must
be priceless for you.
Last evening when I came in the number of people waiting to
check in got to the point that men were putting their hands on me and so were
some rather filthy children. ME/cfs goes by many names due to the complex
nature of it. Scientists who do research on it call it by something related to
what they are working on. But mostly the government prevents the research
because despite thousands upon thousands of research articles that show it is a
very complex illness that effects multiple systems even causing brain damage
they decided our vaginas were just making us crazy. They did the same thing to
women who had lupus for decades as they died of renal disease. One of the research
scientists calls it non-HIV AIDS. Our immune systems are broken in the area of
viruses, particularly Herpes family, CMV, EBV, HHV-6, etc. We get viruses in
particular stages of ME/cfs often and in others stages can’t catch them because
our immune systems are on hyperdrive. We can also have chronic bacterial
infections, especially sinus infections which I went through, now I get dental
infections.
I am in late stage ME/cfs and catch everything, but live in
filth, with people who don’t wash their hands, hang filthy clothes on the bed
next to my head or put their hands on me due to crowded situations. There are
other people with immune issues due to health problems and medications at the
shelter who don’t really even understand this. There are other health harming
issues. The toxic chemicals, the activity I have to do, the constant trauma
from an org. that should be Trauma-Aware but instead is trauma causing by
obvious intention
lack of sleep, intentional triggering of PTSD and the inability to eat the diet
I need all cause me to be ill with cycles of flare ups of herpes family viruses
and whatever is going around on top of it. People who are traumatized have
permanent brain changes, so why continuously traumatize people who have already
been through more than one person can bear? What is your agenda? Certainly not
the welfare of the homeless.
As we all waited to get in Michele flitted about at the food
table getting something which she then showed to Tim in the office and put it
in the fridge. OK, then she did other things. So I go to the office to explain
this is a problem and Tim slammed the door in my face, you know like you did to
me Dan. So that is it, publishing will begin. I would throw down the gauntlet,
but if I had gauntlets some bastard would probably steal them.
There was a dead mouse in someone’s plastic bin in the
women’s storage area, the smell of death was in there for days and recently
there was a dead mouse found in the electronics cupboard. The epidemiologist
for Ada County says the only way the Plague in the area would be on city mice
is if someone took a dog into the desert and it rolled on a dead ground hog or
made contact some other way as the fleas are species specific and would change
to another species only if their usual one was not available. So it is unlikely
we would have that problem. It does however seem strange that fleas would not
have adapted to take opportunities when they often carry diseases that kill
their host.
Last night the psychotic woman in the bed next to me talked
and waved her arms/legs around for hours. Multiple times I shushed, said hey
people are trying to sleep, etc. She just made odd sounds back at me. I have no
idea when she stopped as I finally fell asleep from exhaustion and pain around 1
AM. She was asleep in the AM. I got up and say to the supervisor that this is
going on, that I have ear plugs that work when she mumbles but she often periodically
yells. She was in the top bunk next to mine and the waving arms and legs were
kind of disturbing, but I could have turned over and ignored it. I further said
that she was obviously manic and that when she came in just before lights out
she suddenly stopped the constant talking and waving behavior so maybe if she
spoke to her she would cease and desist. It is not true that she can’t control
the talking and she is done no favors by not being taught where it is
inappropriate to talk to internal stimuli. The supervisor did come in and said
something to her which stopped the behavior around 5 minutes. Then it went on
for more hours. In the morning someone told me she had also complained and got
and the supervisor told her to just use ear plugs. You know because we would
have never thought of that. Oh and this was all going on while the smell of old
piss and BO wafted up from the bunk below me as she constantly sniffed snot
back into her head instead of blowing her nose. The ear plugs blocked the snot
sniffing.
Then this morning I was of course assigned sweeping and
mopping the women’s dorm. This same woman who prevented me from sleeping was
given linens so she could change her whole bed while I was sweeping and
mopping. I told her she was supposed to be gone from the dorm, she paid no
attention. On top of this there has been a recent uptick in problems with
psychotic or dementia issues. Moving property of others, telling me fuck off
when I tell them don’t touch other people’s property, you can’t leave that crap
on the floor etc. There is no supervision which is SOP. The male staff say to
me, but when so and so is on since they are female they go in there and deal
with the issues. Then I say, no they don’t, no one does.
Whenever I finish my chore I take a picture of the
assignment sheet due to the day I came in very ill, dizzy and uncoordinated and
had Michele tell me I lost my bed due to not doing my chore after I had done
extra. I was very dizzy at the time and dropped my pajamas in the garbage, then
had to wear them because I had nothing else. Thanks. She decided to make me
stand around for a while telling me not to put my stuff on the bed making it
even harder for me so I came out where you were barbecuing hot dogs. I do not
trust any of your staff now because there had been several people not
documented, but she believed them and did that to me and I don’t lie. I
especially don’t trust her and neither do many people. She would have taken my
bed but someone advocated for me as a witness, there were several other
witnesses who could have been asked. I am ethical and truthful which is why I
have been a whistleblower at great expense to me personally many times, so
never try to accuse me of being untruthful.
When we come to the shelter we never know what in the hell
will go on next, it is a crazy charley foxtrot of abuse and unsupervised
craziness.
Wendesday morning when I did my chore I mentioned what went
on last night and got BS, “You know what to do about it’, then I say, “Give her
some Haldol?” No he says, use ear plugs, really? Gee wish I would have thought
of that. He tells me that this is how things will be as it is a temporary
shelter. Then tries to shame me by saying they can’t throw her out due to a
mental illness, (but I’ve seen you do that and the consequences many times
which caused me to make multiple calls to agencies advocating for the person
and asking WTF so I call bullshit on that) which is of course not what I
wanted. My comment was about lack of interventions with multiple people over
the past week. I’m feeling very sick when I come in, just want to shower and
lay down, I don’t even want to interact with the staff, so will not get up for
piddly reasons, it has to be pretty bad. Sometimes it is the damn staff in the
laundry room yucking it up and having a gay old time not giving a damn that all
those women are trying to sleep.
I was the supervisor of psych units, mostly an acute adult
psychiatric unit on a periodic basis because the state would send me in as a
whistleblower to tell them what was going on, years before that I was a
corrections psych tech (whistleblowing then too), telling psych patients to
knock off their behavior or that it is now time to sleep you can’t be talking
does work on many patients.
Country wide the excuse for the lack of supervision,
cleanliness and the intentional trauma causing behavior of staff is explained
by short phrases such as, “It’s just an emergency shelter” or “It’s a temporary
shelter” and that is what one of your staff said to me. There are people who
have been at the temporary, emergency shelter for years. So please give me a
break. So then I start saying, “We have a filthy shelter because it’s just a
temporary shelter”, “We traumatize people because it’s just a temporary
shelter”, “We have food safety violations because it’s just a temporary
shelter”, “We have never heard of the germ theory of disease because it’s just
a temporary shelter”, “We have no supervision because it’s just a temporary
shelter”, “We pretend to have social services because it’s just a temporary
shelter”, “We steal personal property and throw it away because it’s just a
temporary shelter”, “We can’t fix the toilets because it’s just a temporary
shelter”, “We have dead mice in the plastic bins because it’s just a temporary
shelter…”, “We have bullying and mobbing from staff and “guests” because it’s
just a temporary shelter…”
What happens when I lose sleep is a flare up which causes
flu-like symptoms, including a vascular headache and other pain, fatigue, brain
fog, tinnitus, flare of interstitial cystitis, cognitive problems, s/s of
neuropathy, irritability and then difficulty sleeping due to the flare up. I
have a flare on all chore days, today little sleep and the chore on top of the
heat, so not doing well. And of course all attempts to get health care were
thwarted. So sleep deprived, flare up, more problems sleeping, exposed to
massive germs and catch that too. Then toxins due to mitochondrial dysfunction
make me sicker. I essentially had viral sepsis last winter and could get no
health care, I have no idea why I am still alive. I have massive beaus lines in
my toes to demonstrate the history of what happened and peripheral neuropathy
with pain from the frost bite last winter.
Last evening I went back late because what is the point of
being on a bunk listing to someone say, “Fucking bitch” over and over, not that
I mind swearing but if it is constant like that is disturbing and concentration
in there is hard enough anyway. When I come in Sarah was there and they had already
checked me in, but then I mention that I was kept awake until 1 AM and given
the BS line that indicated nothing will be done.
I tried to talk to you about the showering system. I was
told we sign up for times and other crazy things. You got angry and closed the
door on me. So last night as happens almost every night I signed up for a time
which had no one else on the list and only one person for the time before. So I
go into the shower room and as per usual all three stalls are full so I have to
stand there with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome waiting while people
who did not sign up for the time I signed up for shower. I did go out to tell
the supervisor this was the situation as I have done many times. I was
pooh-poohed. The rules only apply to me, I have to sign up to shower, but
others, not so much. Charley foxtrot.
Then after the shower in which I had to listen to the
constant talking from the same woman, “fucking bitch” I went by the desk and
said, “The needs of the one supersede the needs of the many, Mr. Spock would be
appauled and Worf would come in and remove all he PetaQs.” I got a puzzled look
and a “what” so I repeated the statement with better Clingon pronunciation of
petaQ. The volunteer and Sarah were cracking up. Then due to a comedy protest I
did in Alaska I said, “There is an angry homeless person in the lobby, tomorrow
publishing begins.” Michele goes, “I don’t know what that means.” It was
hilarious and don’t we all need some entertainment.
I decided to use my nursing skills last night and started
talking to the constant talker, occasional yeller very sternly, but calmly.
What worked on her was a very stern, “No one wants to listen to that constant
swearing. Swearing is fine by me, but what is the point if it is all you are going
to say.” She stopped the talking for a while, looked like she was thinking
about what I said, then started again quietly. After a few minutes of my giving
her my look when she got louder she laid down to go to sleep. She was probably
tired from the night before. I know I was but with ME/cfs when we are sleep
deprived we get a sleep disorder called ‘tired but wired’ so have problems
getting to sleep.
You people have been given every chance and did not take
that opportunity.
The first day I came to the Interfaith Sanctuary I had been
at the day shelter, Corpus Christi all day with my suitcase and a plastic bin. I
was upset already that day, traumatized already.
I think someone may have helped me carry the plastic bin,
but I don’t remember as it has been about seven months ago and I was so
traumatized by that evening I could not even write about it until now and I
write all the time including about personal experiences. I don’t remember all the
details now of course. I have complex PTSD, rather severe after a decade of
trauma, layer upon layer. So just thinking about this traumatized me. Homeless
shelters traumatize people intentionally. They take people who were already
traumatized and put them in a system of trauma. They hurt people who can bear
no more pain and then wonder why they are on drugs and alcohol or sleeping in a
tent. The system damages the health of the homeless who die at half the age of
the sheltered. The solution is housing, but there is no affordable housing
except for a rare individual and those with social disabilities are not rented
to.
I was told at the day shelter they would want to put my
clothes in the drier and would ask me to put on some clothes they had and take
a shower. I knew that was about bed bugs, no problem. What I did not know is
they treated people horribly and had no respect at all for the personal
property of the homeless. They did not even care about my health intentionally
leaving me outside in the freezing cold for what I think was three hours.
They wanted my things brought to the laundry room so I
brought them in and was yelled at for being in the laundry room. I was saying
to him they told me to bring you this stuff, no one said I was not to go in the
laundry room. I was trying to do what they said, but as I know very well now
they are so inconsistent you can’t ever figure out the right thing to do. The
place is run by two co-serial bullies, so this makes sense. I stood outside the
door to the laundry room freezing for about an hour waiting to give the laundry
room dude my stuff for the drier. Some guy came up to do the same thing, waited
a while and got angry pounding on the door. The guy in the laundry room angrily
swung the door open almost slamming me with it and thinking it was me banging, no
it was not. I was hypothermic, stressed and due to ME/cfs which often has POTS,
Postural Tachycardia Syndrome associated with it was very ill at this point
from standing. People with ME/cfs have low blood volume, we are orthostatic, so
dizzy and our hearts pound due to pooling of blood in an already volume
depleted person from standing. I got so I could not even think between being
hypothermic and with the POTS secondary to lack of blood flow to my brain. I
was also having an ME/cfs flare with a fever. It was a horror story and they
did this to people all the time. It made me very ill for a long time and
recovery was not possible due to lack of sleep, the stress of staying there at
night, the bullying and the exposure to massive pathogens so I had viruses all
winter. I have no idea how I survived.
They never gave me the clothes to change into, never had me
change into their clothing to put the clothes I had on or my jacket in the
drier because they don’t follow their own rules. Their rules are fluid, may
only be stated, but not implemented and often only apply to some people and not
others. I did not understand that then, but I do now. They wanted to put my
backpack in the drier and by then I was so sick and hypothermic I could barely
move and certainly was unable to form a thought. In ME/cfs it takes a large
part of the brain than normal to form a thought, then we have mitochondrial
dysfunction and blood flow issues so our brains end up starving and don’t
function in the kind of situation I was in. I told them this and not one fuck
was given.
They wanted me to put my things which included electronics
in a garbage bag and just leave them on the ground, then go inside to do intake
paperwork. After telling them this was crazy I refused while shivering from
hypothermia. None of them have empathy. All I got was bullying and right wing
talking points to try and shame me or make me feel small. They especially love
the blaming for things out of the homeless person’s control which is of course
a part of the non-profit-industrial-complex neo-liberal thinking. And I wasn’t
grateful for being abused and having my property in danger, I know how odd of
me. If only they had known me they could have saved their breath. I am very
well educated and well read, bullshit does nothing but piss me off.
Since I refused to leave my possessions on the ground in a
clear garbage bag for people to steal, imagine that, they decided to give me my
plastic bins. SOP is to leave one’s property lying on the ground while doing
chores in the morning to be stolen, it sounds insane and it is but that is what
they do. I already had one plastic bin with me so they gave me one of their’s to
make two. Mine had yarn, pots and pans, along with other things in it. The
suitcase which had personal property, some clothing and the files for three
civil cases I desperately needed to get filed. I had left Alaska due to
harassment so the work could get done, lawsuits and other civil cases could be
filed, my book could get written and I could get back to gardening, making
quilts, cooking, writing, activism, my art and being able to manage my ME/cfs
was put in what they called long term storage then. It was a block building
with doors in front of four sections, the long term storage for “guests” was
the last one. I thought that was safer than the plastic bins, but that was very
wrong. These people were not to be trusted as they have absolutely no respect
for their homeless clients. More on that story later.
Those storage bins are filthy and so are the storage areas
they keep them in. My name was supposed to be put on them but I did not know
this, it was supposed to be on my suitcase too but it was not. I had no way of
knowing their procedures at all and was very ill that night before I got there.
It was all I could do to even stay conscious. Then they tortured me with
psychological abuse and the freezing cold. A few days later when finding out my
bins should be labeled with my name I asked to have this done and the guy was
abusive. I asked about the suitcase and was growled at. I thought oh well at
least it is locked up, it is safe. It
was not.
The intake interviewer was a very abusive man, he is still
there and still a serial bully. I did not write about what happened or what was
said that night as I was so traumatized and shocked that people would treat the
homeless this way even after having been in a very abusive shelter in Alaska. I
now know from extensive research this is common practice in many states. What a
country.
Finally, I got to take a shower which helped the hypothermia
but was not good for POTS. I did not get a bunk that night, but instead got one
of three spots on the floor for women. They do not have shelter mats for the
floors, but instead use those interlocking mats people put down to protect
their floors. When asked about mats claims of lack of resources are made. I
never believe a word. They are not very wide so the blankets are on the floor
and there is not enough room to keep your body from touching the floor. Those
with arthritis etc. are miserable because the mats are on a cement floor.
ME/cfs is many things, very complex, one problem is immune
system dysfunction. There are many people with immune system problems in the
shelters at high risk of infections and being on the floor is high risk. There
are only three spots for women and one of them was right at the front of the
desk where people walked by kicking the woman there, walking on their bedding
and spilling coffee on them. That is how they treat people.
I wrote this yesterday, then last night read about what our so called president, Donald Trump said in California and about California yesterday. This is just part 1. Shit is about to get real.
The 9th Circuit ruling on Martin vs Boise did not prohibit cities from having regulations that people can't sleep outside, it only prohibits arresting people for sleeping outside if there is no shelter available to them for whatever reason. So, why are they fighting this since the Boise Police and others keep saying in Boise they don't give people citations for outside sleeping if there is no shelter room? Interesting there was a law suit about it, there must have been some evidence. If indeed as they say no homeless people are being arrested due to sleeping outside while the shelters are full it is rather illogical to fight the 9th circuit ruling?
The reason they are fighting it is clear to me as a bit of an insider who has observed what goes on for years I know there is never enough shelter room anywhere for all the homeless if they are required to pack themselves into the shelters. There will always be people sleeping outside because the United States as a whole is taking action to increase homelessness, not fix it, not help people, not make rents affordable, not build affordable housing or do anything else that will help, not even make enough shelter room for people or even make the shelters tenable. It is also true the cities, counties, states and federal government have no intention of supplying enough shelter beds for all the homeless people even as they take actions that expand the numbers of homeless in communities. There is never enough room for all of the homeless anywhere by design and they do not intend to spend resources to build more shelters or housing unless corporations can figure out how to profit from it. This is the plan from the federal government down. We have been abandoned by our government and the haves are being told lies that the have nots are responsible for their plight facilitating blame and abuse.
The goal instead of housing clearly is trauma, enough trauma so the homeless person leaves Boise or whatever city they are in. This is part of the Phoenix Program in America, trauma for control. They learned all about how to control people with trauma through various programs over several decades. Here in Boise they sure can dish out the bullying, abuse, slander, lies and false accusations considering the number of Trump mimicking bullies. I have also never seen people so manipulative or nasty in my life. It is apparently legal in Boise to stalk and harass people. I don't just mean the government's organized harassment, but in general there are some crazy motherfuckers here and many are in positions of power acting as role models. Lots of these people must be going to costume parties. LMAO.
They also aim to use any law they can in their targeting operations against certain individuals for incarceration, harassment and discrediting. The facts are manipulated to make the target fit into a scenario allowing them to effect an arrest and it works sometimes on those who have no idea what they are doing or to expect it.
Boise uses community policing which is really community mobbing and uses people to harass and bully those they want driven out of certain areas in order to compartmentalize the homeless. Volunteers do strange things, walk by often or people ride by in carts often, I call them, old farts in carts. The community is allowed to decide what they want to happen and then it is effected. They then discriminate, pile hatred upon certain people and drive them from the community. Some are paid to harass targets. There are whole cities in Idaho that do not allow homeless people, such as Meridian. I have stories about going to the Continuum of Care meetings about homelessness oddly scheduled at Meridian City Hall rather than Boise City Hall using a construction BS excuse.
Land of the free, home of the brave, not so much. The rights of the outsider, unwanted "other" are suspended except for immigrants who were brought here to fill up the afffordable housing. The city either got lots of money for that are were intentionally trying to displace the homeless out of the city, perhaps both. People running a city would know if there were homeless people who needed housing already filling up the housing would cause more homelessness, wouldn't they. Guess they just thought they would then have reason to arrest people for sleeping outside and harass the homeless out of Boise.
I have been harassed by community policing, Boise Police and little pukes who work for the city of Boise on a massive scale. I can't go anywhere they don't show up. I am never doing illegal activity or causing problems, but hordes of others are. On top of that my complaints and requests are ignored, they even divert my phone calls. The operation against me did not originate here, but the contracts are re-sold wherever targets go, even to other countries. I know G4S/Wackenhut and CH2MHill's VECO (Alaska political and pedophilia corruption) connection were involved but an outfit out of Kentucky is likely to be also. There is absolutely no doubt about G4S/Wackenhut...none and they hire some very scummy people.
There is a lot of trauma to go around, they make sure by intentionally creating it. If the homeless person has a severe mental illness or an addiction problem they can destroy that person psychologically which will lead to an early death, in fact they can destroy a person who is mentally very healthy with trauma. Then when they are found dead on the street or in a canal the coroner will declare they died of natural causes. No they died from slow murder. What do you think they were doing at Abu Ghraib? Psychopaths were having fun torturing people, one of the leaders got his experience in an American prison, but they were trying to destroy the prisoners and experimenting on them in many different ways.
They take what they learned from torture over the decades, physical and psychological and use it on others including U.S. citizens, the good people, the best of us, the truthful, those who care about others, whistleblowers, the ethical, the highly educated, those who actually do the important work, activists trying to effect change through legal means. All of us are harmed by the trauma no matter our original mental health status, they know that. They also know traumatized people who are kept in horrible conditions, eat a poor diet and denied sleep will die much younger than they should. That's all part of the plan, if it wasn't things would be done quite differently.
They even helped facilitate my being run out of an apartment. and a lot of money was spent doing that. The Boise Police, the county agencies, HUD etc. did nothing about the problems except to slander and gaslight me. I will have been living in a vehicle for a year on October 1st in one of the meanest cities in the country, Boise Idaho. The apartment was next door to CH2MHill, I know, I know, you're just an engineering company, yep.
The Ninth Circuit Ruled in Martin vs Boise that cities can't arrest people for sleeping outside if there was no option to stay in a shelter. As in most cities there are never enough beds for all of the homeless, the shelters are generally not healthy and are a huge danger to many who have particular health issues ranging from immune system issues to mental health issues. It is also torture for people who are introverts and especially those who have social anxiety or PTSD to be packed like sardines in a building too small for the large number of people, just the constant loud talking can drive people with certain personality types to leave the shelter. Add people on meth and drunks to the mix and a good time is not had by all. It's a damn nightmare pretty much every night. The word is the Interfaith Sanctuary is way worse now that it was when they were torturing me there.
They do not give a damn about the homeless, they would prefer we all died, that is the plan, die ASAP. I say fuck them, I'm going to live and tell the truth about what has gone on in Boise, the heinous decisions and lies from city hall, the Boise Police abuse, the discrediting, the slander, the callousness of these bastards and my being run out of an apartment through criminal activity by contractors, the management company, ADA County, HUD and the City of Boise. We don't want you outside or in an apartment, we prefer you just die. I have been targeted on a massive scale while living in my vehicle. I would not live in an apartment in this city for free at this point because it would just be used as a base to harass me. Yes, it is that bad.
I'm also going to tell the Alaska story of corruption and injustice responding to David Haeg's request for our stories to be told to present to a grand jury investigation. Started writing it and the wounds opened up, feel like I may exsanguinate, but will continue on. I have the courage.
In my case there are immune system problems, my personality type is INFJ (included being an introvert), my IQ is high so listening to people jabber on and on about BS drives me up a wall along with watching the idiotic way things are done. I have health issues affected by many factors in the shelter and not one fuck is given by anyone about those who have that kind of disability, nope instead abuse is given, but in the case of ME/cfs the government has done their best to prevent research and tell the medical communities lies about it, so why would anyone else know anything about it. The exposure to the massive vaccines given to the homeless is a danger to those who have immune system problems as they are contagious, live viruses are used.
Boise's large subset of sociopaths were set upon me even within the shelter and the staff participated in the harassment, allowed harassment and were abusive. They also helped criminals steal my property including files with documents demonstrating crimes and organized stalking/harassment in Soldotna Alaska and I know who the handler was, he has now been promoted to the highest position in Soldotna's branch of the Masons, he's their grand poobah. How much did they get paid to do that to me? Then they lied about it to the police who of course did nothing, in fact Dan Ault immediately ran right over to them and began lying when they arrived. He was also lying to me about it. Apparently for years they had all these minions who were allowed to steal from other homeless people anyway because of course those kind of people are chosen.
I also have PTSD from constant trauma since 2004. The city of Boise did everything they could to make that worse and the Interfaith Sanctuary was set up to cause trauma. That is attempted murder because they know the end point of such trauma. Why is that allowed and embedded as part of the FEMA designed program? They post on websites and talk about being 'Trauma Aware' and it is true they are aware of trauma, but in the way that they use it to intentionally harm people. Trauma is the tool they use to cause people to commit suicide, drink, use drugs etc. facilitating their goal of death to as many homeless people as possible.
Other parts of killing the homeless off are lack of sleep, the shelters are noisy and filled with problems, then there is little access to healthy food. The population has been targeted with narcotics and other drugs for decades, at this point in time it is horrible. Police allow the drug rings, especially in certain areas. Who doesn't know about the CIA targeting black communities with crack cocaine and then laws were passed to dole out harsh sentences while powder cocaine had much milder sentences. That was targeting to destroy people, their families, the whole community. It was the experimental stage, now they are going after the whole country with generational targeting. Boise Police knew about a shake-n-bake meth operation, ignoring me, not returning phone calls, even taking off if I drove up next to them to ask, WTH. It was being done on property the city owns for a new police station too.
In shelters the women are often placed in the worst possible place for sleep, such as across from the laundry room or by the desk with increased noise and lots of light, men generally get the preferred areas. Of course in Idaho women are still second class citizens, stalked, harassed and abused. The laundry room has a large amount of bleach fumes that constantly inundate the women's sleeping areas. There was torture with fans aimed at my bunk due to little supervision of the gangstalkers in the women's shelter, or perhaps they were being directed to do this. The men's Mission has a soup kitchen that has good tasting food and is run very well, but the main missing ingredient for the homeless is always vegetables and they have to use fillers of course to feed everyone which are carbohydrates. Lots of homeless people end up with Diabetes and diabetics end up in comas. Have I got stories about that.
At this point I have had it with the lies in a city designed for class lines allowing the haves to stomp on the have nots. The malevolent policies in Boise are based on egocentricity for the haves and corporate overlords. I have HAD it with the stalking, harassment crimes, shitty little things the city employees and their Army of Weaponized Morons associated with community policing do constantly. I was stalked three mornings in a row by the same woman, she took a couple days off and was back yesterday and today, that is how bold they are.
Most of the people who are homeless are not homeless because of drugs, alcohol and mental illness, they are homeless due to harsh laws criminalizing them into prisons for piddly crimes, poor pay, high rents due to predatory landlords, the destruction of low income housing due to gentrification and every damn level of government not facilitating the building of affordable housing. The ones on drugs and alcohol were often raised in bad conditions, nothing is done to help them as children, but child protection all over is taking kids they shouldn't and leaving ones who need rescued to be traumatized. Helping kids avoid trauma prevents chemical dependency later in life. Not providing young people with treatment and counseling keeps them from healing and facilitates their continuing to cause problems in communities and lack of success in life. Chemically dependent people are used in organized harassment, easy pay, just give them drugs or booze, no record will exist of them being hired, yea community policing and contractors use them.
During a housing crisis we get cuts of the Section 8 program and more with an icing of constant lies and blaming from the criminal cabal running the country. Instead we get lies from senators that Ben Carson came here to the Boise area and said he is looking for more money for Section 8, they have been cutting the money and have plans for large cuts in the future, what fucking planet do these people live on? They are delusional. If Ben Carson said that he is lying, are they not able to figure that out? Psychopath is as psychopath does.Yes I am pissed off just in case you haven't picked up on that yet.
What went on at the apartment I left, the Civic Plaza should have resulted in multiple firings and some being charged with crimes due to the constant noise campaigns, massive sudden construction, bed bugs, garbage all over the place, people coming into the building for stalking/harassment, criminal activity which included a murder, weaponized fire alarms, men menacing me in the hallway, engineered leaks all over the place, harrassment of many kinds, a drug ring, mismanagement by every entity associated with it, especially the owners, HUD and Idaho Housing Finance and huge lack of the Boise Police to do anything about the harassment other than discredit, slander and gaslight me. Most of these miscreants probably got promotions and political appointments because that is how things are done in the United States now.
People on Section 8 are supposed to live in the apartment they rent, not have another apt, spend most of their time "on the water in Florida" and stay with friends somewhere else all summer. I was Section 42 and believe the same rules would apply. There were apartments around me being used to stage gangstalking, every entity involved in running, regulating or who was supposed to be about safety around this apartment complex was told this. I was gaslighted and started wearing body cameras. The Boise Police did not do their jobs. I also had people menacing me and coming out of apartments at the same time I came out of mine, often they did not even live in the building. I showed video and pictures of them to staff and they were unconcerned. That means Steadfast Management was in on it. I even showed them a picture of a woman who had a key to get into the little gym area to harass me who the staffer said she had never seen before, got a shoulder shrug. No one gives a shit.
Not one entity has contacted me about this or any of the other crimes committed there. Ben Carson came to get excited about shipping container housing like he'd never heard of it before and it was reported by a senate staffer he told a lie which the staffer believed. You know Republicans want everything cut for everyone, except raises and benefits for themselves.
There is a large percentage of people from prison who are homeless because they get dumped into the homeless system due to lack of any kind of transition program. That goes on all over the U.S. It doesn't profit a company looking to sell expensive phone services or commissary items or to use cheap labor in the prisons if the feds or states have programs to help them transition back into society so they can be successful in life, nope toss them into the drug and alcohol inundated homeless shelter. I've even seen drug deals go down at the coffee pot in the morning while shelter staff stood there oblivious. Hell, the BPD and staff even allowed drug dealers to just pull up,
honk their horns and start selling drugs where the homeless lined up to
try and get a bed for the night.
Of course a small number of those from prisons are sociopathics, in Idaho there seems to be a larger number than usual, it is fueled by a radical right wing egocentric attitude to screw others over and blame people for problems they have no control over to make themselves feel better about their own crappy lives. When I was at the Interfaith Sanctuary a large subset of sociopaths was preying on other people in many different ways, including some staff.
People are homeless due to the intentional creation of large numbers of unsheltered people. This is about neoliberalism, the homeless are made into "economically and socially productive matter" (protoplasm) for the benefit of the haves, the oligarchy.
This is very much like having a private prison system and most certainly when there is a shelter system in a city that requires the homeless to be inside them, then arresting those who stay outside, it is indeed a night prison system. Homeless shelters are night prisons, homeless people are placed into these prisons with no due process, no judge, no jury, not even charges for a crime. People are put out of them early in the morning, but required to be in them at night. They like to say it isn't safe to stay outside at night and it is not, but the shelters are not safe either for many reasons.
Elderly people on Social Security are priced out of their homes due to the predatory landlords. They show up at the shelters with their walkers, wheel chairs and medications. Many are escaping from assisted living where they feel they are also living in a prison.
The recent action taken to stop the predatory landlords from charging large application fees is YEARS too late. The policy of Boise is to wait until many people have been harmed by predatory bastards before taking any action. Must have been someone who wasn't homeless that got screwed by them to warrant action finally being taken, was it a BSU student perhaps? People desperate for a place to live have paid application fees for apartments until all of their Social Security or pay checks are gone. The thing is the landlords probably never intended to rent to them to begin with, that is how sick Boise is. I would apply, be told everything was going great, nothing is hidden with me, I tell the truth about any potential issue such as lots of medical bills and being homeless. Then suddenly the apt is rented, but when I call then using a different phone number it's still available and they can't explain why they lied to me. I believe that is part of the organized harassment designed to run me out of Boise. The only place I could find to rent from was conveniently set up for gangstalking, isn't that surprising.
HUD's non-profit the Intermountain Fair Housing Council as I have found out the hard way is quite corrupt as is HUD. HUD is so corrupt I have no idea how they continue to even exist.
The homeless shelter system is designed to control the homeless, compartmentalize us, the criminalization of the homeless, the harassment by police, businesses (Infraguard) and community policing are allowed based on a class system in which there are two different sets of laws. Those who are sheltered would never allow themselves to be treated the way the city and Boise Police treat the homeless, but allow it for the homeless due to having been filled with fear of the homeless, told they are the "others" who are all mentally ill, on drugs, are criminals, etc. all BS. The inevitable human waste from people who have no services such as running water, places to throw garbage away or bathrooms that ends up close to their homes is disturbing, but is due to the irresponsibility and inhumanity of those running the country, states and cities. The more homeless that are created the more compartmentalization and horrible conditions there will be and lots of people are going to die from the horrible conditions.
Boise allowed vendors for an Arts (Craft) Fair to park vans, motorhomes, trailers in the park, but homeless people are never allowed to do so. In fact they have just changed the rules extending the 2 hour limit for parking M-F an hour longer and only allowing people to park one time per day. The homeless who live in cars need to get to the bathrooms. I need to go to a library. They could designate a parking lot for vehicles, have rules, have a security guard, with dumpsters and the bathrooms opened, but their plan is to run people off. Then people will bitch about the garbage waste and "those people' in their communities giving the city an excuse to go after the homeless they helped to create.
In the Seattle area they have a program where homeless who live in vehicles are parking in church parking lots. A church in Boise told me the city wants them to send anyone who asks to park in their parking lot to a shelter. I will not park in a lot filled with druggies, noise makers, drunks, etc, but the people could be vetted for behavior and have a safer situation and a place they are welcome to be. In Boise the homeless are not welcome, that is the issue and most certainly I have never been welcome here. They like to say everyone is welcome in Boise, that is a huge lie, along with their Boise Kind propaganda.
Homeless people have to be somewhere, need to go to the bathroom, need to eat, need to sleep. Shelters do not allow for sleep and many times I was not able to shower at the Interfaith Sanctuary due to abuse from the sociopaths and lack of supervision from staff. In the mornings at Brother Francis in Anchorage Alaska the Native people who slept outside would beg us for water to drink. We tried to get the city to provide water which they finally did, but they cut the available bathrooms back and the Anchorage Police which were quite corrupt did not even investigate who was selling the Spice that was killing people. Cutting the bathrooms causes people in the community to be angry people are using the bushes for bathrooms, but what choice do people have, they can't stop their bodily functions from happening.Of course now with the heinous Governor Dunleavy the funding for the shelter was cut and many people will have to sleep in the freezing cold this winter. I slept in my car in Boise Idaho all last winter, thankfully it was a mild season.
Staff do not intervene at many shelters even if what was going on was reported. Hell, they did not even come into the dorms to check for problems. The horrible conditions are not a concern of those in power, they only care that the homeless are compartmentalized from the neighborhoods and businesses. One of the shelters in Boise even has insane requirements for so called classes that are not only useless but taught by incredibly clueless people. When asked why they did something so inane it was explained that they wanted to keep us busy. Believe me I do not need someone to help me stay busy. They actually prevented me from looking for housing. When I first arrived I told them I just need help finding housing and was told they did not do that. My reaction was, WTH!? This is the crap one has to deal with when homeless, totally illogical core policies.
They do nothing to create housing, all we get is lip service on every level.
In cities low income housing was destroyed by the haves while no new more affordable housing was built. This country has become an oligarchy and a psychopathocracy. The federal government stopped taking care of existing HUD/subsidized housing intentionally so it would have to be destroyed while no replacement housing was built. While red states such as Idaho have politicians who constantly talk about not increasing the deficit, blah, blah, blah, no new taxes etc. but any money from the federal government is gladly taken. The red states which bitched about states rights are never going to take the right to have emapthy, humanity or even responsibility towards their fellow humans. NEVER!
We also have many mayors who are Democrats who go right along with stomping the homeless and working poor while they wear the mask of caring about people. All over the country so many have built 40-60 apartments for people who can't live unassisted, talking endlessly about that one project as if it is hundreds upon hundreds of apartments for low income people. NO! The only reason any of them built those apartments with embedded social workers was to control their biggest problems that cost the city lots of money. True story. Where is the new housing for people who just need an apartment they can afford and do not want to live in a drug, bedbug, sociopath infested building?
Boise and other cities do whatever they can to harass and run off the homeless people they have created. Boise did what they could and still do to increase the population of the city, but took no action to help create housing for people who needed lower rents. Hell, they brought immigrants and put them in what little affordable housing there was. I have nothing against immigrants, but do have something against those who made that decision. I also am tired of being harassed by immigrants who are allowed to stalk the homeless like others.
This particular park has had a lot of drug dealing activity and now they are doing construction on the park and there are problems with the contractors and park staff. They limit the time during the M-F one can park in the downtown park, Julia Davis to two hours a day, then there is construction in another that has a convenient bathroom and shade in the evening. Many actions are taken to squeeze the homeless out under the guide of normal activity. Last spring there was construction in Julia Davis which limited parking and I was harassed by city employees and others. Hell this summer some guy accused me of being a pedophile. These people are just unbelievable here in Boise.
They close bathrooms in the parks, throw people out of libraries for doing nothing wrong. Oh look, more people are outside and more people are peeing in the bushes, wonder why? People would come into the library and harass me, some of them were Mormons, some were homeless people, they used both of those categories and then the security contractor from the parking garage at the apts I left were in charge of the library and continued the same process of facilitating harassment, not doing their jobs and disappearing at just the right times to not witness anything. Many crimes were committed against me at the Downtown Library but the city of Boise is just OK with this, but complaining about that and their gaslighting results throwing the victim of the crimes out of the library. That is one of the ways one can understand the City of Boise is behind much of it, if not all. I call this Boise Kind due to their little propaganda program.
In my case after years of organized harassment at the downtown library which included menacing me in the parking lot, backing cars towards me to try and cause an accident and putting scratches on my car while Allied Security worked with the miscreants and the drug dealers just like at the Civic Plaza Apartments I was thrown out. I announced after several complaints about it that I was going to step up my complaining. I went into the administration office at the Downtown Library, but it isn't really a library, it's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.' Just as every Boise City Employee does I was gaslighted. I told the woman, "You gaslighted me and you are going to pay for that." Anyone would know I would then make a video or write about it or both. Little did I know they would create a situation that resulted in a great video I could post on YouTube. Thanks for that. She waited 2.5 hours and then had the Boise Police who do nothing about the large number of crimes committed against me and their inept security guards from Allied tell me I threatened her. Yes, I did, with writing, you know words, things that should be the focus of a library and not your heinous bullshit. Waiting 2.5 hours and then calling the police which would not have been necessary unless they wanted to create the appearance that I had done something which I had not, means the accusation is total BS.
Then at the mayor's office right afterwards.
I have even been harassed by police while doing laundry, I call it doing laundry while homeless and felonious folding. I always have to fold my clothing in my vehicle due to the harassment and filth in the laundromats. Was not just harassed, but also menaced by Boise's jack booted thugs.
So here, have some more words and some videos. Those organizing the
gangstalking for the city use children and often targets are selected
because they know we are no danger to people even after years of being
tortured and attempts to provoke us into doing something they can use to demonize us. While writing a woman is spraying Afrin and cologne at me, this crap goes on endlessly.
The Boise Police are brutal to homeless people, it continues and in my case they have harassed, run cars at me, menaced me, not called back when I call about problems, gaslighted me and not allowed police reports, slandered me, participated in organized harassment often through the use of vehicles. They are not the only first responders who do this.
You want to have the SCOTUS evaluate your request to overturn a ruling from the 9th circuit that it is unconstitutional to arrest and jail people for sleeping outside when the shelters are full or people have been thrown out of them. You criminalize people for being in a situation you intentionally created for having the nerve to be in your city of bullies while homeless.
In Boise the homeless are hidden through compartmentalization, bullying, organzied harassment, police harassment, bullshit arrests and a long series of constant lies, but if there is a real problem such as a Shake-N-Bake meth operation next to where I park or drug dealers by the shelter you allow it.
I do not have a subscription to the mockingbird newspaper, the Idaho Statesman which mostly operates off of press releases, so didn't know at first which city in California was joining the attempt to go after the homeless. My guess was some city in Orange County where the same kind of shitty little, snooty, egocentric, we hate others people reside as in Boise. As much as the people of Idaho hate California isn't it interesting how they are joining with them to do evil?
Janet Bell is featured in the VICE video below, she lost her arm due to infection, I know as a retired nurse considering most of my career was critical care that she was most likely septic. Homeless people get septic often due to the conditions they have to live in. The shelters are actually more dangerous for infections, especially viruses than living outside. The problems with infections are lack of ability to do self care, lack of transportation to get meds, lack of money for antibiotic ointment, bandaids and ability to use running water. Even in the shelters basic hygiene can be limited due to the hordes using the bathrooms. Other health care even with access if difficult. I need a colonoscopy, how do I complete a bowel prep where I need to sit on a toilet for hours while living in a vehicle?
A man in this video was lied about by the Continuum of Care director and others. I believe that lie was told as cover as to why the police arrived for harassment of myself in Meridian where the Continuum of Care meetings were held to prevent the homeless from getting there because of lack of bus service. I took a bus that just ran through Meridian, then had to walk a long ways in the rain or heat with State Police menacing me or gangstalkers harassing me. Welcome to Idaho!
This so called consultant in the video is disgusting. Recently I had a staffer for one of the senators for Idaho try to talk me into doing what I could to go back to work as a nurse, I was put on disability in 2006 after already working for years very ill. The PTSD that was allowed due to the dysfunction and abuse from every damn entity in this country was the last straw, but a know nothing aid of a Republican senator treats me like my problem is I just need to go to work. He has no fucking idea how hard it was for me to work sick all those decades or what I went through. It did help cause some changes, helped get some help for the high number of rapes in Alaska and helped change the hospital in Nome, but I'm treated as invisible by the scum in charge of the country. I also worked my way through college with no help with health problems, something none of those blamers riding the winds of bullshit could do. That mentality is really difficult to fathom, the cluelessness and lack of empathy is dangerous. He knew nothing about my story, my health issues, that people worked to destroy my career and me in general due to my whistleblowing about the conditions at a Native hospital in Nome Alaska and also about the large number of rapes of the Native women in that region and the cops who would not arrest the men. My story about what went on in Nome is about to be told again for some Alaska legislators and possibly a grand jury.
Now the bastards are finally doing something about what went on in Alaska. Not one damn responsible person for Alaska or the feds has ever contacted me. I began whistleblowing was at odds with the police in Nome who harassed me. Between this and the workplace bullying at the hospital in Nome where they didn't even do universal precautions and the flight nurses were not trained or certified I had a nervous breakdown and was demonized, still am. My reaction was normal for the situation, what was abnormal was the accumulation of people there who allowed what was happening while making excuses for it.
I have experience as Nurse Ratched, restraints and meds all around for everyone.
I have much work due to the constant trauma, harassment and gangstalking started but never published. Today I am very angry about the harassment at the library. The staff does not do anything about most of the problems even when informed. I am very tired of setting up, then having to go ask staff to call security, then security does not show up does nothing or the perpetrator stops their assholery just before they arrive. Then I have to pack up and move. There was a table I sat at sometimes on Sunday away from the other tables, the staff moved it. Years of this. Yesterday noise from behind me, someone laying on the floor. Staff did nothing, no security guard. Tonight I ask the noise maker to please stop, he asked me if I was really there, I said, "No I'm a hallucination." There was a guy on the floor behind me and at least he was quiet. The guy that was sleeping yesterday was quiet too. I sit against a wall by an electrical outlet trying to get away from the problem people in this library and those who come in to intentionally harass me and are allowed by the city of Boise to do so, perhaps even contracted by them. Here is my FB post for today.
He said he didn't really believe me since I was smiling when I said it, part of it is true I am trying to find some kind of protection from the bastards I am exposed to since the City of Boise, the Boise Police Department, the Idaho Housing Finance, HUD, Steadfast Management and at least one government contractor and several Infragard gangster corporate entities of assholery decided to make sure I was homeless again by massively traumatizing me for a year, well much longer than that, but I was at the Civic Plaza Apartments for a year of hell. It is not safe anywhere I go, the park system or parked on the streets at night. There are lots of drugged up drunken crazy bastards in this city and the police gaslight or harass me. The machete comment is due to a woman who lives in a car who posted on the Women's Rubber Tramp Rendezvous FB page that she keeps one. Well, what they hell else can we do and my experience is the BPD is useless, compromised, been given some false information about me and since the city is corrupt as hell they would have to be too.
The
brutal policies against the homeless in Boise Idaho may kill me. I fell
Christmas day after being left out in the freezing cold until
hypothermia caused muscle cramping which resulted in muscle tears due to
ME/cfs, then of course pulled muscles in my back. Then the single
people were disrespected Christmas night by Interfaith Sanctuary. Then I
became very ill with what is most likely CMV rebloom due to the
onslaught against my immune system, but no one would fathom to do labs
to see what it is. The symptoms are really bad flu as ME/cfs immune
systems are broken in the area of viruses and then our symptoms are
worse than normal people. And after a couple days more of hypothermia I
was in the ER on Sunday feeling like I was going to die and hoping I
would. Then more hypothermia. On Monday after having to call the frickin
medical director at Terry Reilly Clinic I finally got a doctor who has
functioning brain cells, waiting for medical records. Have an ear
infection, but antibiotics are a problem for ME/cfs so will try to do
without them. She ordered me a rescue inhaler as I was bronchospasming
all over the place. She asked what she could do to make me feel better
and I told her 60 Meqs of KCL rapid IV push would be nice, the burning
wouldn’t last long. She refused to euthanize me.
To get the inhaler
I had to walk on streets covered in ice as Boise is not familiar with
salt unless one is downtown. Salt has apparently been banned in areas
where homeless people walk. As I was on the phone talking to the haughty
secretary at the Interfaith Sanctuary admin. offices I fell. I said
fuck when that happened and she was clearly disturbed by it. Yea I will
probably swear anytime I fall on the ice Ms. Haughtiness. So I make it
finally and get the inhaler. Then I sat at the library a while trying to
warm up and rearrange my backpack. I have not had any bathroom
surveillance since I posted about it on FB, interesting.
Then I
leave the library a little later than normal as I had fallen and hurt my
back more and was very cold. I carefully cross the streets especially
if it is dark as they have the most egocentric assholey people driving
cars here you have ever seen. I am almost hit by someone every day.
People who ride bikes here are in a great deal of danger. I was almost
to the middle of an intersection when out of nowhere a car comes way to
fast right for me. I could hardly see it so I realized later the
headlights must have been off. I tried to jump out of the way sure there
was no way I would not be hit and she was going to fast I could easily
have died. I was wearing a heavy backpack so I fell backwards right in
front of the car and was sure she would run right over me. Fortunately,
she finally looked and stopped just in the nick of time. I was lying in
the street and began screaming, “Do you people in this city every look,
do you know what a cross walk is, you almost killed me…if my laptop is
broken.” I was then hysterical as I have almost been hit by a car nearly
every day I have been in Boise, it’s way worse than the drunks of
Alaska, simply due to egocentric assholes. And what the hell is wrong
with the police who do nothing about this, it is a well-known problem.
She never once asked if I was OK, she just said, “I’m sorry" and
took off. Considering the headlights being off and the speeding she may
have been impaired. So my hands are frozen and I can’t write down the
license plate. I kept repeating it over and over. I also could not tell
what kind of car or the color due to the darkness. Then later could not
remember one of the streets right. I am so sick I should be in a
hospital it is a wonder I can stay upright. The dispatcher was not very
receptive to my complaint. I was very upset, then she kept talking and I
could not accurately remember the license plate number, the first 3
numbers I am sure about. I was also hurt more, even with pulled
abdominal muscles as well as more back muscles, carrying a heavy
backpack. I expected a cop to come as I had almost been killed and
certainly was hurt, but all I got was that one would call me. I got to
the sanctuary late of course and then fooling with my frozen things
outside took quite a while what with my spasming back and abd muscles.
Then I had to wait a long time to get my electronics locked up. Then we
have to check in and eat, then I took a shower due to being very ill and
spasming muscles. I guess a cop called while I was showering and I did
not hear the phone ring. But there were a couple more calls and I did
not hear those, my ringer was on, the place is really loud. When I came
in I told the guy who was on that I had almost been killed and that I
was not liking Boise too much due to the brutal policies against the
homeless. I said, “How many have they killed?” The only thing I live for
is justice and anger at this point, that is what keeps me going.
Fortunately, the guy who was on is Jeffry who is not a bully nor a
psychopath, but bossy because he is the boss and that is a good thing.
He enforces the rules evenly and not in an assholey way.
I am on a
top bunk and managed to climb into it knowing I had to get up and pee
again and brush my teeth, but I had to lay down. Right after my last
I.C. (interstitial cystitis) pee and tooth brushing was lights out I was almost asleep when the
lights came back on. Then I sit up and say, what the heck? The woman on
the bottom bunk next to mine pointed at the top one next to me and she
was hanging over the edge and there was puke everywhere. I had earplugs
in so did not hear and I can’t smell anything right now. People went and
got ear plugs sticking them up their noses and one was rubbing
deodorant under her nose so it must have been bad. Poor Jeffrey had to
come help her and cleaned up the mess. Of course he had to use bleach
and then sprayed room deodorizer so then I was awake coughing all night
from the chemicals, but not much choice there. Apparently there was a
second round of puking that I slept through thank goodness.
Then
this morning the bed numbers who were supposed to do chores in the
women’s area should have been six, only three of us stayed to do them.
So I am very ill and rather beat up and stayed to do my part while
others took off. Nice. At least I did not have to deal with the Spiced
up woman who bullies me in the storage shed daily this morning. On chore
days one can’t get a place to sit unless arriving when the day shelter
opens so that is why they don’t do chores. So I am at a coffee shop and
before that ate something because I G.I. bleed easily and have to take
Ibuprofen to survive today. I am nauseous but managed to eat. I was
telling someone this morning what happened last night and they said
please make trouble because there is a history of this kind of treatment
from BPD. The guy that was on said this bike cop usually comes by in
the AM so he would send him to talk to me. He never came and I was very
slow getting done.
I called and made a request to speak with the
Chief of Police and oh he is just too busy today. So I mentioned
discrimination and life being cheap in Boise for homeless people. At one
point the secretary asked me what officer came to talk to me, OH NO I
WAS TOLD IT WOULD JUST BE A PHONE CALL! No one came to see me. My life
is worth nothing in Boise Idaho. Assholes.
