Downtown Los Angeles descends to a medieval slum due to an elitist political class implementing policies they claim are designed to “solve the homeless problem.” What can you actually do to turn the tide?

GET LOUD… GET ANGRY… do what they do… SCREAM IN THEIR FACES… make them so fukin uncomfortable when ever they venture out of their enclaves that they become afraid to be seen in public… aunty Maxine Waters spelled it out to us…. so… lets do it their way…. become so unspeakably obnoxious and horrible that they begin to FEAR US….. It is time to take the war to them.
How many have lost jobs to foreigners? How can we continue to import illegal aliens with so many people unemployed?
Stopping the politics of ruin (great phrase, btw) was essentially the platform upon which Kim Klasick ran in Baltimore. She got trounced. It will take some time to turn this ship as the rudder is much too small for the inertia involved and the seas and wind are also against it. But, try we must.
A lot more pain is going to have to be felt by the people who vote for the Dems before you see any positive changes in places like Baltimore. I wouldn’t live in any big city in this country on a bet.
Left the NYC area when I was 17. Been telling people for decades you couldn’t pay me enough to live there anymore.
Hi Bill, it is hard to believe that we keep on proffering the impossible. Saul Alinsky and now his followers said it best, overwhelm the system! How do you propose your small steps in changing peoples minds towards liberty and the American freedoms will work ?They( The postmodernist fascist left) will never allow you to make it work. They are in control now. If they have the ability to continuously flood our country with hordes of ignorant and hungry people; And then keep the poor (“refugees”) Enslaved with stipends. How do you manage to convince them to change ? How do you make any change at all? The next thing the postmodernist Demorats will do is give them amnesty and the right to vote. The facts of nature dictate that destruction will always be able to outpace construction. If you do not believe this try to build a house and then allow me every night to go in and destroy it. Let’s see who wins, me with destruction or you with construction. You are totally off the mark with your quixotic philosophies. You are completely ignorant of the magnitude of evils you oppose .And until you understand and appreciate the full magnitude of what is in front of us you’re wasting our time!

Let me ask you something;
WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?! If you have so little faith in the ability of the people to take back control of this country, and of this man to be a leader of that movement, why come here?
What do you expect to accomplish by ripping at our efforts? You are a member, so I assume you paid good money to join this forum. Why? If you just want to criticize everything?
If you think BW is on the wrong track, then do something about it. Offer solutions, alternatives. Back up you plans with logic and reason.
I dare you.
Hear! Hear!
Phil LeMay? Or Curtis? 😉
I am the spiritual incarnation of my bulldog uncle, Curt.
Ad Astra!
Trump is said to be starting a new political party, tho I suspect its just a front for his Impeachment defense to keep wayward Senators from Convicting him.
Bill, I’m kinda surprised you sent a check(s) towards a political program to “remedy” the homeless situation in L.A. Until the local governments are vacuumed free of careerist leeches, the situation will not change. Why? Because it is a source of income. Just like the POC poverty plantations, homeless camps are problems that must never be solved – or the politicians earning their living from them will lose their sinecures. And when will the local governments be relieved of these ambulating pocket-liners? Not while Obamala Joe is POTUS: His tenure is owed to programs that maintain needy population. “Happy and productive member of society” has produced a growing secular industry of clients and their masters, relying on money for nothing (as Mark Knopfler sang) as a way of life.

Christian missionaries in impoverished nations deal with these situations as one-on-one relationships, starting by providing the basics of donated simple shelter, clean water, and basic medical care, then (and this is the key) working towards self-sufficiency. ITEC is a great model of how this is done; their mission is to NOT engage in helicopter Christianity, but to train the locals to lift themselves up, and to stay up once out of the hole. The biggest opposition ITEC’s folks – and many missionaries – encounter is not from the recipients of aid, but from the petty government officials and leaders of non-Christian religious groups in these regions. As in the USA, these folks feel threatened by success, and fear loss of easy income.

I liked this post and agree with most of it but I’m pretty sure when Bill said he “sent a check” he was talking about paying his taxes. Which in the Soviet Socialist Republik of Kalifornia are not optional and will be collected at gunpoint if not rendered within the specified time period. Other than that …
Yeah, you’re right.
Any attempt at requiring street people to go to mental or addiction facilities will be fought by greedy pols, the media and organizations such as the ACLU. They all promote as many needy people as possible in order to keep power. This is simply a sick and nausiating approach in order to control others. And now, to add to the mix we have a administration promoting illigal immigration once again. It is suicide…except for those in power. They do not live under the laws they pass.
Interesting idea that the elites in big blue cities enjoy (feel superior), promulgate (payback for their donors) and do nothing about the disgusting condition of their cities – cities over which they preside (look at all the government jobs that would be lost if the problem were solved). If I were the governor or mayor or on the city council of cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Seattle, etc. that have become akin to a 3rd World country, I would feel personally responsible and humiliated that I had allowed it to happen.
Obviously, these people feel no shame or responsibility for the mess and mayhem they do nothing about, and in fact facilitate it through pathological altruism while filling their pockets by robbing the taxpayer.
It’s not difficult to understand why the citizens of these cities continue to vote these leeches into office. Many of them reap the benefits of the degradation of mentally ill and addicted people as employees of local, state and federal agencies that “serve” the poor, sick and downtrodden. Why fix a problem that would put them out of a job? At the same time, they can feel all warm and fuzzy about the “help” they are providing, and goodness, they don’t have live among the wretched – they go home to safe, clean neighborhoods. They also have the added benefit of feeling oh so superior to those nasty street people.
The chronic homeless living on the streets are not truly homeless. They are there because of addiction or mental illness, or simply because living and conducting yourself within societal norms just isn’t for you. Building homes for this populace is a racket – they don’t want them, won’t live in them and at the same time, the entities building them scam the taxpayer for every penny they can steal.
One way to solve the “homeless” problem is to make it insufferable to live on the street, but I’ve no illusions that will happen. Pathological altruism at work.
Agreed!
Dinesh D’Souza has documentaries about the Dem party, Obama, Hillary, etc. that are very much to this point.
He went to prison for donating too much to a political party or something. Anyway, while in there he talked to the other inmates and learned about how they would “get over” on people. Hustle, make a buck, steal, etc.
He realized the Dem party was/had been doing the same thing for ages! He realized it is all a grift! A scam, sham, etc. for power and money.
I think one of the videos is called Hillary’s America. (I just finished watching his newest one Trump Card. Recommend.)
This is why I suggest people don’t vote “Yay” on any bond measure or tax increase for “new” or current “programs”. (See my list of actions to take in the member’s forum.)
They always hire their “buddies” to do the work and give “management positions” with outrageous salaries to their supporters, etc.
That’s where all our taxpayer money goes! Don’t give them another cent! Tell them to do what they said they would do with the funds they have.
Here in Denver, CO the taxpayers funded an “eradicate homeless” type program and over 10 years they spent millions! All the “management” made great salaries too. Today, Denver is headed toward another LA or SFO city & the money is gone.
The “ruin” is spreading everywhere!
We don’t have to do anything about it. The problem will eventually solve itself.
Hi Bill. I live in LA, I know how terrible it is here. There is a great documentary called “Seattle is dying” which goes over the homeless problem there. I love your videos. Keep up the great work!
The problem with funding programs for the homeless is that outlying cities and counties begin to ship their homeless and mentally ill to you. In my area the police call them Rambo Rides, they pick up a person in their county and drive them into the counties with the shelters, charities and city funding. This leads to the system becoming overwhelmed as it’s forced to take care of not only it’s own homeless, but all those of the counties around it.
I think for most of us the hardest part is waiting for a plan to emerge. The inaction is eating at my gut! It would be better for emotions if there were bullets flying and people being arrested. When setting up an ambush, the waiting until the enemy is in the right position can be nerve wracking and an overanxious soldier can spoil the whole plan. I am one of those soldiers biting my nails waiting for something to happen that is actionable. I’m getting very impatient.
David, I posted a list of things people can do to get started. Actionable items in the member’s forum.
Maybe you’ve done all of them, but there may be some you haven’t.
There’s also things to do with tech to make it more secure and deny the tech giants access to your data.
Just a thought.
I’m a vet too and would love an “action list”, but we’re still hammering out strategy.
I watch Bill’s videos, read the posts, then ask myself “What can I do right now?”
Our society has an obsession with blanket solutions. We ask for them, advocate for them, and then whine when they do not solve the problem. I haven’t really dwelled on it, but at first glance I would attribute this to our instant-gratification culture. If this approach to the world around us isn’t avoided, we will never save or help the percentage of individuals that we wish to
The micro surgery of attempting to retrieve functional citizens from the criminal enclaves is possible but unlikely to develop much support from the common citizenry who pay the bills. On the other hand, the retrieval and proper treatment of the thousands of medically treatable people who are legally forced onto the streets due to bad laws and even worse policies and procedures would be universally approved of by everyone with the exception of the lawyers and politicians, for just the reasons that Bill cites. My heart breaks for all of us, with the exception of the aforementioned lawyers and politicians. We CAN do this, but the ACLU and similar “legal” organizations will fight it to the death.
