Bullying, Abuse, People Thrown Out, False Accusation Against Me, Interfaith Sanctuary Has Gotten Very Oppressive

Months ago I named this file 'first day homeless in Boise.'

I have been writing for hours as much has happened at the Interfaith Homeless Shelter recently, there will be more posts this week. They have gone into the realm of complete assholiness. I cried last Saturday night over something that happened to others and as each story is told I cry again. When others are harmed it traumatizes the observers and has a profound effect when that person is already traumatized and realizes that eventually they will have the same thing happen to them, but for me it had already happened. There is nothing I can do to stop the abuse and help people besides speaking up and writing about it. No one else will do anything, not the governor, not the mayor, not the federal government, not the board I am not allowed to meet with, not the other non-profit entities and the news media has no interest in telling the truth about how the homeless are really treated.

This particular trauma triggered the complex PTSD I have as what happened to them was also perpetrated on myself months ago, the loss of my property and three civil cases, FOIA requests, years of work and much of it geared to getting justice and housing. The director of the Interfaith Sanctuary has told me he does not want to hear about my suitcase again and I have never received even an apology from him, but lies were told. The shelter rather than help me get housing has made it more difficult by stealing my property from me, I will not be able to recover from that act of treachery.

Last night as I came into the shelter a man was being thrown out with a six year old. I will not repeat what he said, but it was very true. I have no idea what it was about but this occurs very frequently at that shelter, more and more often. The administrative level staff are at war with the homeless and some of the lower level staff are as well, but some are not like that, good people.

We now have social work students from Boise State doing some clinical rotation that has added a whole new level of chaos and harassment. Due to events that happened last Wednesday which I will be writing about the shelter has become a Charley Foxtrot on steroids.

Some of the students are lovely people, but a couple of them are bullies. One of them keeps saying, "Dan says...Dan says...Dan says...", really, you seem to have a special relationship with him, do tell us about it. Most of what she says he says makes no sense because it is all designed to bully me. She used one of her "Dan says..." statements last night to make false accusations against me and told me Tim was going to come and talk to me. That is not the first time a false accusation was made and it was about my being targeted to begin with because, you know, "Dan says..."

Like I have said before many shelters are like Dr. Zimbardo's prison experiment and the shelters are like prisons, they even look like the dorm style prisons. At night going to the shelter is like being in a prison at night and can include staff that behave very similarly to prison guards. I have worked in prisons in Washington state, volunteered in one and then was wrongfully imprisoned in Alaska.

This abuse is why people sleep in cars or tents. 

How could they be so cruel to people who are traumatized and suffering to begin with? But they are and have demonstrated their cruelty over a long period of time. They have also shown their lack of compassion and empathy while wearing the mask of altruism. This is common practice all over the country, notice who these homeless people are in this video, elderly and disabled. Notice how the staff just talks about rules as an excuse for the bullying. They get away with inhumane treatment because the homeless are vulnerable and have no power or voice and the governments both state and federal allow this, in fact the federal government dictates how the non-profit industrial complex runs shelters by the rules attached to receiving grants or even doing the HMIS. There are little regulations and absolutely no oversight of what goes on at homeless shelters. There are landlord tenant acts for other types of housing but the homeless are exempt from any protection including regulations about their personal property. A landlord in most states is not allowed to just throw your property out until you are given notice and a specific time period passes. People, especially the homeless can end up in the hospital unable to even call the shelter and the area the homeless are concentrated in is inundated with police so the homeless are arrested more often for ridiculous reasons and due to special laws written to control the homeless population. When the homeless are arrested they then lose everything they have at the shelter which is very likely all they have in the world and can include valuable things like family pictures. 

 
The picture below represents a very condescending and frankly ignorant sign on the desk at the Interfaith Sanctuary written by a children's author. I have complained about it multiple times, but this is how they treat us. I have even said, "Bill and Hillary Clinton called from the 1990s and want their neoliberal talking point back." Of course, it is also a right wing talking point. The war on the poor, the elderly and the homeless comes from all directions. Only those who know nothing about what has gone on in the United States over the last few decades and participate in the war on the poor could put such a completely backwards sign up in a shelter filled with people who can't get housing, jobs and other needs met due to actions taken for decades to prevent low income housing from happening.

Many lies at the Interfaith Sanctuary are told about people getting into housing and finding jobs. One night the director told me there was housing all over the place and I said no there is not. As a person who for almost a year looked every day, has social disabilities (most of which are false thus the civil cases) and came to realize the landlords and especially the property management corporations of Boise are prejudiced against the homeless I know this is very false. Even if they would rent to me I can't afford most of the rents. Section 8 is a big joke to us because even when people get a voucher they look for housing so long it expires and this has happened more than once to many people. False is the same as truth to the staff. I actually had someone pick this sign up and wave it in my face.

This patronizing sign is on the desk at the Interfaith Sanctuary.

Do they think the homeless have control over neoliberal economics, the oligarchy, the jobs that went overseas, the crappy wages, the huge barriers to getting an education, the lack of functional assistance to get housing and of course the corrupt government agencies and politicians. Do they think the homeless who are elderly and/or disabled have control over their age and health issues, especially considering the crappy health care. NO THE HOMELESS DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL AND I WILL BE DESCRIBING WHAT GOES ON IN THE SHELTER TO CONTROL US, ABUSE US AND RUN US OUT.

Yes some homeless contribute to their health issues by smoking and I am very angry that the shelter has put my health in danger by forcing me to have to function in areas filled with cigarette smoke. There are children who are exposed as well. We just had some changes that were supposed to help that but just last night someone was smoking in the Conex box the lockers are in and when I said something about it he was quite indignant that I was impinging on HIS rights. Common courtesy can be difficult to find. There are those who use drugs and alcohol and they cause problems for people in the dorms, no peace, no sleep, no sanity.

Unhealthy food is what the homeless can get to, even if people have Social Security or food stamps they can't cook and have no refrigeration. I go to the salad bar every day due to having mitochondrial dysfunction, the treatment is vegetables with lots of sulfur. I do not get a salad just some vegetables because that is cheaper and keeps without a refrigerator. In the evening I drink powdered plant material. This is the best I can do homeless. The food at the shelter is filled with beans and they cause inflammation which of course increases pain and other problems. Breakfast at the local soup kitchens is filled with sugar and that increases inflammation. Huge numbers of the homeless have diabetes mellitus and obesity, much of the weight issues are of course due to the sugared food available. I normally do not even eat sugar and spend a great deal of time cooking everything from scratch. The only sweetening I used was dates, a little honey or a little organic maple syrup. I now eat foods with sugar and other ingredients I don't normally consume such as wheat. There is no other choice. My years of taking good care of myself and using food, spices, herbs and teas to treat the ME/cfs have been slowly turned around and much of what I need to eat is impossible to consume as a homeless person.I take those spice shaker bottles and shake them into water and drink it down.

Sunday morning was my chore day. A man came in who had been thrown out, he has severe dementia, I know because on multiple occasions he lost his backpack and things in various places and I helped him find them. The shelter staff have no skill to deal with those with dementia but then why has Idaho and Boise placed those who need assistance for many health issues on the streets? I was just told there is housing for those who are gravely disabled and elderly, but why when I called Adult Protective Services about people in this situation last winter did they blow me off then. They often throw them out because they can't follow the massive rules and then are constantly bullied and eventually blow up. Those with dementia can become aggressive when constantly confronted due to frustration and being accused of things they can't even remember do along with being bossed around. Women are generally worse than men due to the Chihuahua effect, feeling vulnerable. They threw him out without his things and he came back saying it was a week ago, this may not be when it really happened due to his memory. They of course threw his things out. I expressed my concern for him and said that I had called Adult Protective Services for some people but without his name they can do nothing and probably will do nothing about it anyway. I wondered if they called APS over concern for a man who is obviously gravely disabled. That staff is a bully who is quite illogical, a smug liar. After the conversation I said to someone he will assign me the toilets now, but what he does not know is I don't mind doing the toilets. Then I said I was going to ask him to assign me the toilets. I went outside to take off my jacket and get some gloves because they only have large ones and that is not good protection for small hands. When I come in he says he already made the assignments. Then he gives me an assignment outside after I put away my jacket and had on a short sleeve shirt for doing chores. I was to wipe down the benches and tables, but they were all covered in ice. My hands were frozen by the time I got done and now my fingers have cracks in them. When I wanted to work outside and was actually doing extra chores they sabotaged that and as always were quite illogical. I was the only woman given an outside chore. This is what goes on.

One time that kid was bullying me and saying things that made no sense and I said, "You know what, I'm a writer, maybe I'll make you famous, you paint an interesting picture sitting there with your feet up on the desk, playing games on your cell phone and not doing your job." There is only one guy on night shift, that person needs to at least have common sense. The other night staff is a nice, intelligent man who knows the difference between being bossy and being a bully as demonstrated by his actions.

I expect hate and abuse. When we communicate the truth that is what happens.

A Homeless Shelter Stealing From the Homeless and Bullying Them, You Can't Get Much Lower Than That

There's an angry homeless person in the lobby.


Two nights ago I was harassed at the Interfaith Sanctuary a warehouse homeless shelter in Boise Idaho by a man who for almost a year has periodically harassed and bullied me which included threats and screaming. This was about a frickin' plastic bag and bringing in toiletry items to take a damn shower. I was told that I could only bring one bag and could not put my flip-fops in a separate bag, you know the flip-flops that go in a multi-use shower floor where there is massive fungus and bacteria. There are other issues with infection control in that place and other items that need separation. Plastic bags can be seen through even if there is one inside of another. He was apparently on a roll that night bullying many people, probably most of them women. Recently he came into the women's dorm to tell a woman who has gotten housing she had to leave the next day as she has the key. She had the key but needed to wait for money to move in. His treatment of the homeless, especially women is very ugly.

They have recently put in a card system which I will be writing more about. I asked him what happens if someone's card gets lost. He told me then the person would be charged a dollar to replace it. I then said they were not getting what homeless means if they think everyone there had a dollar. He then went on to say if a person did not have a dollar they would be referred somewhere else. That was it for me. I have been writing about what has gone on at that shelter for almost a year now. I told Dan Ault when they stole my suitcase and threw my civil cases in the garbage and he tried to run me out of the shelter that I was staying and would write about what went on. I did. I told Tim at that point, "You have just made a big mistake I have been writing about what goes on here and will begin publishing it." At one point he told me "we are nice people' and I said, "no you aren't. Then I said, don't you remember all those times you screamed at me. Tim then tells me he's a nice person he does not scream. I explained that he does and that he is a serial bully. He ran off to call Dan Ault his co-serial-bully.
I am an expert on bullying and have written about workplace bullying for years. People all over the world read those articles. I have also spoken about it and received a certificate from Mayor Navarre in Soldotna Alaska declaring a particular week "No Workplace Bullying Week." I have worked for predatory health care corporations with massive bullying and also have experience working with psychopaths since then keeping up on the research.

It is very likely they will throw me out of the shelter for publishing this. My plan was to wait until I got housing, but two things are clear, the bullying is getting much worse and housing is unlikely. If I get sick from being exposed to people in crowded conditions with my defective immune system I could also die before I am able to write about the abuse. Someone has to speak up. If not me then who?

[Comments from today are inserted in brackets.]

January 2nd 2016:

I will be sending this one far and wide by email:

[Which I did and was totally ignored by the powers that be in Boise and well, of course the very controlled news media here.]
[When this was written Dan Ault was the operations manager and not the director as he is now.]

I could not have imagined anything so evil even from psychopath Dan at the Interfaith Sanctuary as one would expect some degree of oversight and discipline from his supervisors, but apparently was wrong to expect that. I consider what has gone on to be domestic violence which is disgusting from a homeless shelter where victims come to find safety. There is no safety at the Interfaith Sanctuary. The cops I spoke to last night asked me about the City of Lights and I said I heard they had, “Batshit crazy Christians.” One said something like “do you know…” and I said “About batshit crazy Christians, yes I’m from Alaska,” they cracked up. Then I went on to describe the bullying and my experience just going there to check the place out that verified the rumors about it. 

[I went to the City of Lights right after becoming homeless when it was very cold out having been given false information by someone over at the River of Life, the men's mission shelter that was supposed to be a day shelter due to the very cold weather. I was told to come back for lunch at the City of Lights to check out how they do things. Then I made the mistake of doing this. A very rude woman searched us. They searched my socks and found nothing but cankles. Then they locked my backpack in a cupboard. The lunch was rotting salad and soup which was chicken broth that had a little rice and pasta in it. I drank the broth as that was the only healthy thing. Then I requested my backpack. They sent me to talk to a woman in one of the basement offices who proceeded to yell at me about how I know the rules, yaddida, yaddida. No I did not know their rules, except that all homeless women will be bullied by morons, that one I had just then figured out. So I got my backpack and have never gone anywhere near that place again. Massive rumors abound about the abuses there. I do like to eat sometimes at the ROL dining hall, it is supervised and no one has ever bullied me, in fact they have been super super nice.]

Keep in mind I am an expert on bullying and have worked with psychopaths in a psychiatric corrections setting. They were sex offenders in an experimental program, I was basically bait and used by psychologists due to my personality which includes being an ethical whistleblower type as Dr. Namie of the Workplace Bullying Institute puts it. The psychopaths who hated women came after me and their actions could be used to keep them incarcerated longer. This was in the 1980s. I was fascinated by them and have kept up on the research. I have also worked with them in a prison setting and then lived in Alaska which is filled with them. Yes, batshit crazy Christians and psychopaths, sometimes one and the same.

[Soldotna Alaska was where I endured several years of mobbing from a psychopathic cop who probably was working with a federal agency on Operation CHAOS aka Cointelpro 2.0 or something similar, but Alaska is filled with what I call crime families that bully as a group, like the Palins. Federal surveillance agencies are embedded in many places. They mobbed lots of people there but I was their original primary target. I finally left to become homeless due to the predatory corporations associated with the property not doing what they should have to stop the abuse and abusing people themselves. One of the corporate visitors asked me nastily one day, "Why are YOU talking to me?" This was USDA housing and that agency does nothing about abuse from the corporate entities associated with them, they just lie and give out money." I wrote about just part of the story. Soldotna is the town where the recent so called satanic invocation happened. Francis Graham has a house in that area and a crazy school which produces zombies who go around harassing people. It is really strange there as people always say the word 'Christian' as a code for being in the clique, the club and everyone else is bullied. Therefore, the inclusions of other beliefs are so important at the Kenai Borough Assembly meetings. I spoke about workplace bullying at that assembly meeting and got a certificate making a particular week 'Workplace Bullying Week'. What is actually happening is Mayor Navarre who I like a lot as he found me a good doctor there is trying to stop this exclusion of other beliefs by the community. My bedroom window was right across the street from the Kenai Borough Building where the assembly met.]

My education about bullying began when with a combination of trauma while working at a small hospital in a remote area as an RN. This trauma included large numbers of raped women coming in from remote villages and the police not arresting the rapists, my advocating for their arrests and being bullied by cops, and then severe workplace bullying by incompetent health care professionals in a remote village resulted in PTSD. Since no appropriate health care was available to me and I had tried to see the psychiatrist as the trauma illness developed five times and was turned down it became quite severe as the layers of trauma developed and I had a nervous breakdown. I was suicidal and was arrested for actions taken while in a dissociative state. The charges should not have happened, they were supposed to scare me into not talking about the racism and injustice against the Alaska Natives, lack of law enforcement allowing massive violence and rapes along with poor medical care of the Alaska Natives in that region. Their attempts to shut me up did not work. Instead I should have gotten psych help and the hospital should have been investigated. My supervisor one of the serial bullies told the police I was not allowed to be admitted to the hospital, it is in the police report. I was sent home alone suicidal while the pharmacist said, “This was not done by a sane person” and a psychologist said I should be admitted. Then I became very ill with my multiple health problems and was trapped in hell. That began a decade of severe trauma and then I left [Alaska] bringing legal files to work on cases. Later the corrupt DA orchestrated an arranged wrongful arrest by corrupt officers of the court which resulted in my property being stolen or put out in the rain and my cat starved and tortured three days after I filed an appeal.

[This happened in 2005 and Indian Health Services has just recently finally acted to do something about the horrible health care of the Alaska Natives and the lack of mental health treatment for the many traumas they suffer. They knew about the problems for years. A.G. Loretta Lynch came to Alaska and met with Native women about the rapes and lack of prosecution of the men who perpetrate them. This is one of the reasons I have severe PTSD as I went to war with the police in Nome Alaska over this and the dumping of drunks on me in the emergency room. I have written about this and many other issues for years while ignored, sabotaged and under surveillance. I was forced into homelessness for being a whistleblower.]

It now appears these evil bastards running this shelter of freezing cold and intentional hypothermia have thrown my files away. This homeless shelter of evil is certainly no surprise to me, but my goal even if it kills me is to expose them.
So the abuse at Interfaith Sanctuary and this recent theft of my property clearly engineered by a psychopath whose story is going to be that it was just a random accident because that is what they do, add a layer of incompetence to use as cover for their actions has triggered the PTSD severely. That is what Dan wanted and that is what the administrative staff at the Interfaith Sanctuary have allowed him to do knowingly. How can such people as this be allowed to operate a shelter for vulnerable homeless people?
Last night I went back to the shelter and immediately took a shower because I did not feel well and was exhausted having been very ill mostly from the abuse of a particular shelter staff and his minions. I probably have a secondary infection at this point, but the viral part is starting to clear. I get out of the shower room and go to the mirror in the bathroom and I see a woman wearing my robe which indicates an obvious emergency situation. I was then treated like shit by Dan, Tim and some woman because I am not allowed to be concerned or angry about theft and abuse according to the psychopathic thinking of this shelter. 

[This has happened multiple times over and over.]
 
The extremely abusive first night I was at the Interfaith Sanctuary it was not possible to even get what I needed from my suitcase due to hypothermia and being forced to stand for long periods of time due to POTS and ME/cfs while being targeted by illogical male bullies who clearly have a dislike for women. With those illnesses there are issues with standing and pooling of blood so that my brain does not perfuse appropriately, then I can’t think or function. Then I also have Hashimotos Thyroiditis which causes intolerance to cold and Raynaud’s which causes the clamping down of blood vessels due to cold cutting of circulation. They put me in danger and the more I said that the more abusive they got. Part of the problem is discrimination against women and the usual scenario of a Zimbardo nightmare in this kind of situation with weak people overseeing what goes on. They even use the prison manipulation of telling people to file grievances, who can’t guess where that will go.
On top of all of this I have to get health care at the local clinic of incompetence for the poor in Boise. I have been round and round with the medical director who is a family practice doctor who LOL claims his main practice is mental health. That makes no sense, but could explain why the clinic gives out masses of psych meds., wonder if he gets kick backs from Big Pharma? He worked for Multicare in Tacoma, I worked at three of the hospitals they own now. Research is pending.

[I did file grievances which were totally ignored and Dan Ault lies about emails I send him. The former director just ignored everything. Terry Reilly Clinic fired me as a patient for trying to get appropriate health care. If I had gotten it perhaps the frostbite from last winter might not have happened. I was also quite unhappy about being given two misdiagnoses within five minutes of seeing one of their doctors and then even more pissed after talking with their medical director. These diagnoses could not have been made in five minutes even if they were true and they are not. I will be posting more about that.]

I was not allowed to access my property in my suitcase without staff, was promised almost on a nightly basis for the last 2 weeks I could put the stuff in my personal bin into the suitcase and get the things I needed out of the suitcase to go into the bin, but the only time the guy was available I had a high fever and just could not do it. I now realize through much of that the suitcase was probably gone anyway. They caused the high fever with their abuse and any distress they can cause me makes them happy. Dan sees me as a danger because I know what he is, he has figured this out even though he is not as psychopaths go even a very clever one. 

Of course I was very concerned about my property from my arrival but was treated like a silly ass for this by the staff and have complained to the administrative office including the fact that the lock was off the door to the electronics cupboard and the door left opened without anyone standing there, then treated like a silly ass again with staff saying inane things to me like, “Your things are safe” when even a moron could figure out that is a massive security problem. They tell me lies like nothing ever gets stolen, but people have things stolen there all the time and even if I don’t know that, duh the place is full of addicts and a secondary issue with addiction is stealing things. Their system of unsecured plastic bins is also worrisome. The administrative office has just blown off all of my concerns and they repeat the same things over and over, never taking any action to fix the problems.

[I had two cameras stolen out of the electronics cupboard. Last summer the filthy plastic bins in the storage building and the electronics cupboard were over run with mice. The plastic bins have holes in them so they can heat the property inside to kill bedbugs. Mice went into the holes and chewed up property and some died in people's bins. I put duct tape over the holes of one of mine, one plastic bin I brought with me had no holes and then duct taped the lids, this was also for the vandalism and thefts that occur. They eventually found property that had been sitting in the electronics cupboard a while that had mouse corpses stuck to them. My plastic bins are in that building where the odor of the dead mice was nauseating. One night a very drunk man was assigned to monitor the electronics cupboard, yea things like that happened. Every night whoever is assigned generally sits and smokes there so all who need to go into that area must breathe second hand cigarette smoke, this includes children. Yes, many of the parents there do smoke around their kids. People even walk into the building smoking and I do say something because I have had to become a severe bitchwoman with some of the people.]

So I go to Dan the psychopath, program manager (who is also a pathological liar of course who told me he was the executive director) [when I asked to speak to her] who has been threatening and bullying me for weeks along with his minions and express my extreme concern for my suitcase and it's contents due to someone wearing my robe. He asks if I would like to go check it and I say yes. He then immediately disappeared leaving me standing there for a long period of time with no explanation, psychopath 101, do something to upset the target, make them angry so you can use that against them, give them a double message so they can’t figure out what is going on, be as disrespectful as possible and then blame them.

 
So a woman at the desk finally takes me outside acting all indignant about it and the guy who helped torture me the first night and did not put my name on my property per their own policy and procedure the first night I was there was the one looking for my things. The result was very predictable. I mentioned that my name had not been put on the suitcase but it was all over the inside. He made a nasty remark about how he would not have allowed his suitcase to be put in storage with other people’s things without his name on it. But he was the guy who did not follow the policy and do what he was supposed to do that first night and would not allow me to get my things out, forced me to stay outside in the freezing cold and then HE DID NOT PROPERLY LABEL THE BINS OR THE SUITCASE, probably because I specifically asked him to. Now he is trying to blame me for it, oh no I have no control over what these assholes do. I finally got my bins labeled after some effort and you know why, because Jeffrey was on and he is not an asshole. 

[I was sad when Jeffrey left.]

Whatever happens the target is never successful because they will change the rules or use sabotage to prevent that. That first night I had to listen to XXX’s crazy blaming right wing talking points of abuse. So he throws a fit because at some point I say, "OK, I'll call the f-ing police then." Then later Dan the psychopath shows up and starts to illogically berate me because I was angry, you know the anger he intentionally causes so he can use it against me. They did not do what they were supposed to do, they most likely gave away and threw away my property, but he keeps blaming me for it, nope I have nothing to do with your crime obvious psychopath.

[This was a homeless man whose name I redacted, but he was so abusive I probably shouldn't have. When there are serial bullies running an organization, they have minions who do dirty work and gather intel for them. This creates layers of bullies, I called them the good old boys.]

Dan is the main problem as psychopaths do not do the work at hand which is why the place is a cluster, they have him in charge. His agenda was to get himself into a position of power so he could bully vulnerable people and the executive director of Interfaith Sanctuary has to know this. Non-profits have a high rate of psychopath employees and those in charge never listen as they fall for the mask of sanity, mask of pretend empathy the psychopath wears for them. She also knows about the specific abuse that has been going on as I have contacted their office of massive ignoring of the concerns of homeless people. Dan did whatever he could to try and get me to do something he could use against me which did not happen because I know what he is and what he is doing. Instead he ranted about my being angry which of course it would have been odd if I was not and threatened me with the City of Lights (just like he does nearly every night he is there) as I have not been welcome at the Interfaith Sanctuary from the day I got there and he has been trying to run me off. 

It should be noted that I have no issues with other staff at all when Dan is not there because there would be no reason they are not psychopaths who are threatened by my recognizing what they are, they have empathy and enforce the rules in a non-abusive way.

[The lack of problems with other staff was not entirely true as there was a Tim who at that time was supposed to be helping people find jobs, LOL, who now seems to be at the admin level who on many occasions has bullied me and screamed at me. Then there is another male staff who works only part time who also screamed at me and committed an ADA violation which I have discussed with the US Attorney. There were occasions of both Tim and Dan bullying me at the same time. In fact a recent bullying episode by Tim is the reason I am finally posting this material that I have been writing for almost a year now. He was also bullying others who will not challenge them. People can't imagine how much courage I have after going through unbelievable hell for over a decade. Even before that I went to war with drug dealing cops (who also sold guns to the Sinaloa Cartel) and a predatory health care corporation that was committing Medicaid fraud to the tune of $350,000,000 and was almost killed by the cops. Two good cops protected me.]

He stopped looking for the suitcase and claims it could still be there. That does not make sense for a couple reasons. First of all a woman was wearing my robe last night which is unusual, second the suitcase is regular sized and not apparent in the outbuilding which it should be even in the huge pile of crap they have created. They have these unheated storage sheds for storing things, my suitcase was placed in the third one, I saw it one time when I went in to get documentation for medical care with a social worker. They decided to combine a bunch of stuff without telling anyone what they were doing. I have been told by a witness that they went in the third building and threw a bunch of personal property away without notifying people or giving notice that they were moving property to a different building. In Boise Idaho homeless people are treated like garbage. That was a criminal act. The chance that my suitcase is still there is about zero, but since I called the police Dan wanted to tell them it could still be there so he stopped looking. That fourth building is a hell of a mess, with crap just all piled together. It is truly unbelievable how that shelter is run and how people are treated.

What I had in that suitcase that was most valuable was my files with the medical records I was reviewing for the legal case with Providence Hospital, I can get the records but months of work is gone. There is also the copy of my recent brain MRI, and other medical records I need. Then I also had the files for the case against Laurawood Arms, the documentation which I collected over a period of years is all gone and irreplaceable. There is also part of the case against the state of Alaska, but much of that is in Alaska, thank goodness. Then there were all of my crochet hooks, my hand stitching tools, a hand applique quilt square that was partially done, a book of crochet patterns it took me years to find, summer clothing, toiletry items, nutritional supplements, I don't remember if both thermoses were in there or the plastic bin, my spring and summer jackets and much more. I will probably remember more as time goes on and I need things, there were OTC meds, nutritional supplements and my inhaler. 

[Since then I found the quilt square and some sewing tools. I went without my nutritional supplements for a long time as it takes quite a while to accumulate them due to the expense. That is one reason I got so sick I felt that I was going to die last winter.]

My robe was home made so I knew my property had been compromised.

I told the woman who had my robe she could have it, she did not take it they put it in the clothing donations at the day shelter. She is severely mentally ill and felt like she was being accused so let her have it. I did take a picture to document that she had it because that proves they went in the suitcase and went through my property which had files with my name all over the documents demonstrating this was done with intention by Dan and his group of all male female targeting minions. No court would not understand this. Women are treated like second class citizens, talked down to in an abusive way and not allowed to bring hardly any toiletry items in to shower with. They do let us go first in line for some odd reason however. So I had almost no sleep last night when I was ill and trying to go to bed early because people of evil intent run this homeless shelter and harm people intentionally. 

[In the warehouse type homeless shelters women are often a second thought as many women go to the domestic violence programs etc. The warehouse shelters were often originally set up for men and then many court cases forced them to take women. I don't know the history with this shelter however. When I arrived at the Interfaith Sanctuary the staff was all male, now there are women. I bitched about it then. The women are also often located in a place in the building where there are issues such as lots of noise and light. At the Interfaith Sanctuary the women are across from the laundry and the machines run until midnight, then there are the detergent and bleach fumes which cause allergies and vasomotor rhinitis. The brooms are located right across from the entrance so there is quite a bit of noise. On top of this the bathroom door is right there by the dorm entrance which is an open door and it makes a very loud slamming noise every time it closes except when myself and some other women hold onto it and close it gently so as not to disturb others. This problem could be easily fixed. There are also only three spots on the floor for women while there are two rooms of floor for men. They want to force women to go to City of Lights which the homeless women call Jesus Jail. Women will walk around dangerously all night to avoid going to Jesus Jail.]

[That woman whose property was taken came to Alaska with a backpack filled with stuff only related to survival and finding a job and many people come to Boise for the same reason. This shelter is in Anchorage Alaska and I thought the main problem there was the backwards-ness of Alaska and racism against the Alaska Natives. No, the same story plays out in many places here in the lower 48. I filed over 200 grievances at that shelter and went to the mayor's office to report the goings on every day they were opened. We even had some protests. The voice messages I left were generally also ignored. Eventually they did something really stupid that cost the soup kitchen $20,000 and they had to close for a couple weeks. Then people believed me about them, it only cost $20,000 in donated food for that to happen. I have documentation of a man nearly being killed and no staff being around at BFS. Recently in their entryway a man's neck was slashed but he is apparently OK. I was tortured by a psychopath on evening shift there and after years of reports of the abuse especially against the women and even my own medical records which contained lies from him given to staff at the hospital he was fired. The non-profits are in most states un-regulated and allowed to intentionally harm the homeless. Predatory people often end up in positions to prey upon the vulnerable at shelters. When the homeless person tells their story they are not believed, especially if they are mentally ill, have dementia or are addicted.]

I had to wait for the cops so long that the POTS kicked in and I had to lay down, an arrhythmia
developed, etc. so they said they would call when they arrive. Dan just like a bully boss would do got to the cops first, I mentioned to the cops that it was not appropriate for them to speak to him first as I called them for a theft he perpetrated. So I gave them the information for the police report and they tacked on the story of my almost being killed a few days ago by a driver that they had ignored intentionally. I asked why law enforcement did nothing about drivers almost running us down all the time and got no response, but when I said Boise’s drivers were “assholey”, they agreed. 

[Several times even though I am very cautious I was nearly killed by drivers. One day a cop cut in front of me on a cross walk where I had the light. It was stunning.]

Had to sleep across from the woman who had my robe hanging off her bunk last night, but there was not much sleeping. This triggered my PTSD and kept me crying most of the night. No one cared because for that to happen empathy would have to occur.
So now I have to sue these assholes, especially since the admin staff have been contacted about the property security issues and completely ignored me and have allowed Dan's abuse of so many. This was very predictable based on the evil intent of the program manager Dan.
At one point I told someone my suitcase was gone and that Dan had probably done it intentionally considering everything that has happened and the verbal abuse from him which is a type of domestic violence. Some minion told him I said that and he came up and threatened to throw me out of the shelter. I did nothing wrong, I never missed a night there, I do my chores even when very ill unlike so many others and I have been abused by him and others under his influence, he and his minions did many things wrong. I have every right to say what I want about the crime they committed against me, his attempts to threaten me and control me will not work. 

[The threats from Dan have continued and recently gotten much worse. He follows me and makes strange remarks. More on that to come.]


Shame on all of them for treating homeless people in the many brutal ways that they do while wearing the mask of empathy and humanity for the public, shame on all of them for allowing Dan to harm people when they know about it. Shame on the people of Boise for allowing this.
Dan is an ass and when I say this to people they always say yes, including other employees. That is because it is quite severe. They however do not have the courage to stand up to him or stand up and tell the administrative staff what he is. That is very common in workplace bullying of which I have no doubt they are on the receiving end of, people keep their heads down hoping they will not be targeted rarely doing anything to assist the targets which in this case are vulnerable homeless people being used and abused by some sick people.

[Dan is now the director and has gotten a man who is over HR at a corporation to be president of the board. I know what that means about this man as I am an expert on workplace bullying and have been a union organizer. Human resources are not on the side of employees; they are only there for the corporate interests. When workplace bullying is reported to HR, they figure out how to step it up and constructively discharge the employee. He is also a lawyer. This means he will help them figure out how to get away with the abuse.]

He told me I could not say negative things about him or he would throw me out. Here is a negative thing Dan, you should have been fired a long time ago, way before I arrived and the fact that this did not happen indicates that the main problem with Interfaith Sanctuary may be higher than you. How dare they act like they care about people, I suspect those running this shelter are doing it because it is an easy job and they can wear the hat of the good guy without actually having to be good. Evil is as evil does. There is no respect what-so-ever for the people who stay at Interfaith Sanctuary from Dan, his minions such as Tim or apparently the administrative staff that blew me off so many times. I fell on the ice during a conversation with one of them who did not even bother to ask if I was OK. 

Dan and the Interfaith Sanctuary need to be sued for slander and harassment as well as the monetary damages that were done to me with malice. There is massive cruelty and psychological trauma which just makes me sicker and triggers the PTSD. I would imagine there has also been libel. Dan stood in a group of people and said I never say thank you for anything which is the opposite of the truth. He slanders people to change the thinking of others which is part of the process of mobbing by his minions. He’s a real sick bastard. Dan pulls this kind of crap and then threatens the person who speaks up to tell others about it with being thrown out of the shelter.

I suspect multiple people had their property stolen by these people but most are afraid to say anything. One man stormed out of the building yelling, “Fucking thieves” and stormed off the property obviously having had his property taken. He had been gone, I had not. I am not psychotic, I am not impaired by drugs or alcohol, I am intelligent and educated. This means they will not be getting the response from me you hoped for. Instead I will tell the story far and wide and see them in court. 

[Since then I witnessed many instances of people's property being thrown out even when they had stayed at the shelter consecutive days. Others also had their suitcases come up missing when mine did and they were lied to. I told them the truth. Always the aggrieved party is treated like they are the problem, threatened and often thrown out of the shelter. These are often people who have nothing else in the world and have lost that little bit of property. They also have made a rule that people can't dig their things out of the dumpster and threaten to call the police on them. One day I chanted, "Leave her alone" over and over about a woman being stopped while desperately trying to find her things.]

This is really sick stuff allowed by the mayor of Boise, the administration staff at Interfaith Sanctuary and the people of Boise who elected Mayor Bieter. Let the repercussions begin for these evil people. Dan is at war with the homeless and has no business working with people in any capacity. I will do whatever I can to make sure the public knows this story. Are there no laws governing homeless shelters in Idaho? Why are staff allowed to steal from the homeless who often have meager possessions to begin with?

[ Are there no laws governing homeless shelters in Idaho? No there are none.]

I go to the Continuum of Care meetings and went to the Homeless Coalition meeting, there is not going to be much help with low income housing being available or the landlord prejudices against social disabilities which prevent people from finding housing. In my case, most of the negative isn't even true and my civil cases I was working on to prove this were taken from me. That nearly killed me. I am very angry about all of it and have been writing about what happened in Alaska on another blog for years. I guess I must write about it here as well.

Me leaving the Interfaith Sanctuary if I ever get housing which I seriously doubt for many reasons.

Homeless People in Boise Idaho are Treated as Non-Humans and Traumatized

Homelessness is a human rights issue that few people in the United States understand. Homelessness is about lack of basic human services and economics. The lack of services for some of the homeless may have occured when they were children being abused and no one helped them. Research shows that mental illness is much more about environment than genetics. It is about these issues for those who are mentally ill, those who are physically ill, those who are addicted, those who have a job but can't afford rent and those who can't find a job. But it is also about the Prison-Industrial Complex and the corrupt court systems. It is about laws passed to target the vulnerable such as people of particular races or the poor. It is about health care clinics with very low standards, no health care, poor nutrition, lack of sleep and traumatization in the homeless shelters of the Non-Profit-Industrial Complex.

The homeless are a commodity used to create jobs. What I have discovered as an intelligent person who is homeless is those who run these shelters believe the mythology that the homeless are lazy scum who deserve to be treated like animals. They believe this while saying they care and I think the reason is lack of knowledge and bad experiences in their own lives. The homeless in the United States are treated as non-humans and that is very much true of Boise Idaho.

I am tired of having the director of the Interfaith "Sanctuary" insinuate that I am lying when I tell him something. I DO NOT LIE, BUT HE DOES. I am also tired of him insinuating that I am lazy. He has no idea who I am and my life most certainly proves his thinking wrong. I am also tired of him threatening me with the other shelter when I confront him. I am at the Interfaith Sanctuary stubbornly documenting what goes on due to them stealing my civil cases from me that I brought from Alaska to work on for justice and to facilitate change. It was the only thing I was living for, I nearly died last winter, getting so ill after that. Obviously killing the homeless off is the main goal considering the abuse from the health care facilities in Boise Idaho and Alaska. I am also tired of Dan's mythology that there are apartments for rent everywhere if only a homeless person would just take the effort to rent one. It really is just that simple for them. Well I live in reality not la-la land, no there are not apartments everywhere especially for those of us with social disabilities. The places available for rent are either untenable or filled with people who cause massive problems. So renting puts one in a position of housing insecurity, you accumulate things and then have to leave, now you are homeless again. After this happens a few times a homeless person realizes it is useless to go to certain types of rentals, cigarette smoke (just like the shelter), meth labs, constant parties, drunk people, thefts, etc. Then there is the abuse from the landlords. Subsidized housing has been privatized and predatory corporations are in charge. I found that out the hard way. The USDA RD has no power over the abuse of the people who rent apartments in their programs, nope, they just give out money to corporations.

The landlords of Boise Idaho are very prejudiced, most of my social disabilities are not even true but I am falsely labeled by the powers that be in Alaska. Of course no one would believe me and that is what my civil cases the interfaith Sanctuary stole from me were about. I have tried for a long time to find a place to live so when Dan Ault says to me , "Don't you want your own apartment" like I'm some kind of a damn idiot who could get one if only I had the will, the urge to slap the snot out of his smug glib ass overcomes me. Or after abusing me around the chores when I tried to do extra he says I live there so why don't I help them out, why so you can traumatize me more? Nope I stopped trying

to help, more contact means more abuse. A bully system has constantly changing rules to prevent the success of the people in your shelter. And I don't LIVE there if I did I would be in charge of stopping the filth and trauma, there would be no cigarette smoke, gardens would be planted, quilts would be made, bead work would be done, books would be read and sock monkeys would be crocheted. We are only allowed to be there from around 6 PM until 7 AM and it's not living that is done, no it is DYING.

I am an activist and an ethical whistleblower. In the United States they consider someone like me to be a terrorist because our country is just that corrupt, so corrupt that telling the truth is considered dangerous. Being ethical is a huge threat, add being well educated and intelligent and the threat level skyrockets. I have been through hell for over a decade. Some of the things I wrote about in Alaska are now being at least looked at by the governor and other agencies including the Department of Justice. They claim to not know who I am while they read my blog posts, then the changes happen. People have gone to great lengths to try and shut me up. I'm still bitching and writing. So I am going to now be writing on this blog. Every effort on my part to give them a chance to stop the assholery has been met with dickholery.

Dan Ault told me he is tired of hearing about the suitcase they stole from me. There is a lawyer who joined in a conspiracy to have me wrongfully imprisoned which resulted in lots of bad things including my cat being starved and tortured by a psychopath they used to help them. She told me she was sick of hearing about my "frickin cat." That was in like 2007-8. I recently posted this on my other blog. Dan will be SOL.

Brooke Browning Alowa and John Earthman Are Applying to be Judges, Oh Hell No! Featuring a Picture of My "Frickin' Cat"

They have no idea who I am in Alaska. I have tons of these from along period of time.  

Then there are lots of these.

I am a radical but most people do not know what that means. What the United States needs is radicals right now to implement changes but considerable effort has been made to demonize us or lock us in administrative segregation in some privatized prison. The main reason for doing this is to prevent the truth from being told.

Tim Black interviewed Ajamu Baraka the vice presidential candidate of the Green Party who has been a human rights activist for a very long time. He explains what a radical really is. 

Ajamu Baraka describes what a radical is at 5:27.



I do go to the root, strive to understand the root cause, look beneath the surface, ask the critical questions and do seek truth. I'm as radical as hell and proud to be an ethical radical outspoken person. I am not proud of my country and other people who are conscious know why, unfortunately the major portion of our population is not conscious. I love my country the place, some of the history, some of the people, not the government and many people from many different political beliefs feel this way. We all love what we thought this country was but it was never that. Some of us have had experiences that educated us to understand we have been living in propaganda for decades. Wake up!

The root cause of homelessness is not laziness, drugs or alcohol. A huge number of homeless people have been traumatized so a person on drugs or alcohol is showing you a symptom, the root cause is trauma. Having to live in a homeless shelter that traumatizes them over and over with staff who say bullying, glib, patronizing things while treating them like a child does the opposite of empower that person to get out of homelessness. After so much trauma of having their property taken by the shelter, having their bed taken for unjust reasons, having to live in filth, having to live in vermin, never getting enough sleep, being bullied, not being able to have your property with you, having to leave your property in a dangerous situation, being forced to breathe second hand cigarette smoke, being treated like you are not welcome at businesses, being abused at some businesses by owners (laundromat), having police come into the laundromat to ask you if you are doing laundry, having staff at a store follow you into the bathroom because you have a backpack, having the sidewalks blocked so you have to walk in the street, having the dangerous drivers of Boise nearly kill you often, receiving little to no appropriate health care, having to eat an unhealthy diet, no ability for self care, perhaps having to sleep on the floor, being thrown out of the shelter into a dangerous situation at night, being falsely accused, never being able to have any peace, the filth, the unsanitary way things are done, the frequent viruses, the secondary bacterial infections, only ten minutes to shower and on and on, did I mention the damn filth enough? This all leads to dehumanizing of people and they give up, their souls broken. Add injustice from the courts, add social injustice, add loss of human contact, then the lies told by the government about the homeless. Then the very people in control of what happens with the homeless in political positions, the police, the mayor even those running the shelters perpetuate myths which make the pain and trauma so much worse.

There are Trauma-Aware ways of running programs that deal with traumatized people, but the choice is often made as it has been in Boise Idaho to go ahead and traumatize people more over and over and most certainly to trigger their PTSD or whatever their trauma illness is often so they never can heal. The main key to healing PTSD is to give people control of their lives. Homeless people have no control and have to live in systems that frankly are Charley-Foxtrots often filled with idiotic thinking, no common sense. Then when something is pointed out they accuse the homeless person of being a liar or lazy, this happens to me often and I am the exact opposite of these accusations. The shelters are generally run by those who lack empathy, but constantly say they care about the homeless. They do cruel things then blame the victim, even lie. I will discuss this further.

This all needs a radical change. I am a retired RN with PTSD and ME/cfs who has been treated like garbage after spending my life helping others while struggling with health problems. I went to bush Alaska where women were raped and the police would not arrest the perps, the Indian Health System hospital was unregulated and quite dangerous and workplace bullying was used secondary to my whistleblowing and attempts to report the problems. Recently tiny amounts of things were done about some of the problems. I will be damaged by the experience for the rest of my life and continue to fight for justice both from the courts and social justice.
