Proverb 14:31 "Those who oppress the poor revile their Maker, but those who are kind to the needy honor him".
To understand what is really happening in America today we have to take a snapshot of history and understand both the history of Marxist economic principles and how it has progressed into mainstream political policy making in our country.
The truth is, America, looking through the eyes of an economist, has been socialist since the "New Deal". To give you an example, it is often joked by ex-Chinese nationalists that the state bird of China is the construction crane. Why? Because China understands human psychology, in fact all socialist governments understand psychology in a way that they use it against the population. Namely, what I call the "busy work" syndrome, is a way in which economic development of a state isn't tied to any goal or end, in fact, it is designed to continually expand and contract or build and tear down, kind of of like a three year old with a Lego set. This is why in socialist economies everyone always looks and acts busy, it is because it is a task orientated society. In fact they take great pains to make sure no one sees the big picture. It is a society in which loyalty is rewarded not ambition, ingenuity, innovation, and vision, in fact the latter of these is very much frowned upon and if you exhibit any of these qualities you will very quickly be labeled a "trouble maker" because God for bid anything actually gets accomplished!
You have to understand legislation since the new deal has all been written based off of this "Trickle Down Economics" Theory to be applied toward what the socialists call "Planned Economies". It literally is the effect of strategically designed destruction placed in a cyclical pattern. They create a national crisis, the economy tanks, then private wealth, land ownership and businesses begin to go into decline or are bought up by multinational companies. Next, with a desperate and afraid population, the socialists i.e. our "Government" enter in with some sort of handout in the form of welfare or subsidies or some other ridiculous program of "stimulus" tied to a new bureaucracy. They create the problem, then they present the solution, of course this has all been worked out in their think tanks prior to the fact. This has the effect incorporating or "stealing" private wealth into the state through the politician's "clients" i.e. banks, land developers, hospital systems, etc. etc., basically very powerful multinational companies with ties to communist China.
Each cycle which is historically about 10 years long, they consume more and more private wealth and land. Consider this your first lesson in Globalism 101 if this is the first time you're hearing any of this. But all you really need to understand is that in this kind of economic system, NOTHING happens by accident and trillions of your tax dollars go toward making sure nothing disrupts what this really amounts to, a global ponzi scheme designed to steal America away from the American people. This I have found is the real mission of the F.B.I., to hold the entire deception together, censure anyone who might expose any part of this strategy, and protect the financial interests of politician's "clients". This is why in Portland, Oregon the board of directors of the Portland Business Alliance is almost all land developers and run by the son of a famous Socialist Economist Andrew Hoan and also why the F.B.I. has a field office there. Also the reason groups like Antifa are allowed to riot and smash and burn businesses, it's economic warfare. I know I was there and I have the scars to prove it.
Ok, so what does all of this have to do with Homelessness, everything. In Marxist Socialist theories a certain class has to be sacrificed to further the revolution, since the labor class is an important commodity to Marxist ideology another class has to be created and sacrificed to justify the taking over of the economy by the State. Now the 21st Century American socialists are smart, they have learned the lessons of the past and will not make the mistake that the National Socialists of Nazi Germany did by attempting to sacrifice a religious minority outright and in full sight of the world, they don't want another World War do they. But they have to have a scapegoat to justify building their government empire and do it in a way that the tax payers volunteer up whole heartedly all the resources they need.
Enter here the homelessness epidemic and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Through H.U.D., in the last decade, trillions and trillions of your dollars have been transferred to local Cities, Counties and States through grants. These municipalities form reginal super organizations called Continuum of Care or C.o.C's., these CoC's are responsible for allocating those funds. In Portland, Mayor Wheeler sits on the Executive Committee of the CoC"s governing board called the A Homes for Everyone or AHFE, The CoC itself is identified on the HUD website as the Portland/Gresham/Multnomah County CoC. That means the man in charge of veto power over the city council has the ability through the CoC to allocate funds with almost zero oversight. This money is used then to start and form new organizations, or pay land developers to build housing units, or infuse capitol into the healthcare and behavioral health companies, or to apply towards law enforcement and private security companies. Essentially this money is used to propagate the socialist empire from the ground up. And with all of this economic stimulus guess what it has done statistically to address homelessness? Less than nil, in fact, in Portland, homelessness got worse but H.U.D. kept giving billions of dollars to Mayor Wheeler's CoC. I don't know about you but if I am hired to do a job and it is worse then when I started I would get fired but with Mayor Wheeler not only did he get more of your money but he got re-elected too.
Homelessness, is BIG money. The more homeless Citizens there are the more money the region needs to take care of them. But that's all that is really happening, the Democrat run cities are promoting themselves as safe places to get resources for every minority and socially and economically challenged person in the country but once in the city those people realize they are trapped and dependent on the government for the rest of their lives. The cities are run as controlled social experiments and the Homeless because they have no resources to defend themselves are open game to whatever company that wants to pay to experiment i.e. Big Pharma. Now of course none of this is really legal per se but who is going to fight for a homeless citizen's rights anyways? After all there nothing but lazy drug addicts right? Wrong! Even the illicit street drugs are connected and have a purpose. Basically, the homeless are managed like cattle, they are kept fed, clothed and moving around in circles on the streets until either they develop a disease that qualifies them for SSDI at which point they are transferred to a publicly funded housing unit and placed under life long observation in behavioral health and the medical establishment or they die or commit suicide. Just look up the suicide rates for Democrat controlled cities, I dare you. Either way, not a life you would want for your children so how do think God feels looking down on all this? The only kink in their armor is Due Process rights, if a Homeless Citizen should have a legitimate grievance or complaint, where is he/she going to turn, the CoC has connected hundreds of organizations together in partnership agreements and even one law suit could threaten the funding of all of their organizations including law enforcement, even the Oregon Bar association is connected to the CoC H.U.D. money, that's a pretty big incentive to keep the homeless out of the court system and trust me they are using your tax dollars to avoid those kinds of law suits, the kind that would actually hold them accountable.
So what can we as Christians do to stop this? The answer is simple, be Christians! We can't feed into the propaganda and hype of discrimination. We have to do everything we can to help our homeless stay away from these very corrupt institutions, we have to combat socialism with Christian Charity! They are God challenging us to see if we are really disciples of his son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Remember 80% of Homeless Citizens are believers in Jesus Christ, that makes them our Christian brothers and sisters, they are also 80% politically right of center which means come next election they could be a HUGE factor. If the Republican Party still has any brains left in its leadership, it would take note of these facts rather than toss these people into the hells of the ghettos and leave them to the indoctrination of these socialist institutions. This is why every Christian should care about the homelessness crisis.
