The Underground is working with 160 other veterans to solve the homeless equation. HU has 6.9 million members scattered through out the United States concerned primarily with the War on the Homeless.

Coming soon:

• Advocates to put end to homeless management forced by tyrant Nickels.

• Seattle Center Investigation-Videos of employees harassing the homeless.

• Seattle Center Investigation-Evidence of health code violations.

• Seattle Public Library Investigation-More meanness uncovered.

• Seattle SPL and Seattle Center-Sit in possible.

done

Yesterday, information about  gangs in Seattle and Sacramento was handed over the  VFBA . The VFBA will use the mountain of information to apprehend those that assault, rape and kill the homeless.

The 46 remaining aircraft is now on alert for Seattle.  At 4:30 pm PDT 46 remaining aircraft was placed on alert and will now be working themselves towards Seattle from their winter hangers in nearby states.

Last weeks food samples that contained solmonella, will now be sent to two more labs for confirmation. They will have their results in two weeks. Meanwhile more, samples arrived in Burien today. Attorneys will review more 110 hours of video tape to obtain an injuction citywide. It appears that the harassment will continue.

HU Command Center-Burien, Washington.

At 9:30 Pacific Daylight Time this morning, a request was made by both the VFBA and HU personnel at HU’s Headquarters to the Board of Directors with Roger Clark (National Commander of VFBA North America) and Jeff Harwood Acting National Director for the homeless Underground, both presenting arguments for a large scale ground action expected to happen within the next day or so.

At the request of Amanda Long District 6 Operations Director, the use of helicopter support was deemed worthy in the event of an all out clash between the homeless and city officials.

HU Board of Directors has authorized the use of HU delta’s based out of Los Angeles. As many as six helicopters will be used to supply food, water, generators and medical supplies.

At 12:30 pm, six mobile command posts and thirty three buses have arrived in Sacramento, California in what could be called the largest “bonehead” contemptuous action by any Mayor in U.S. History.

At 1:30 pm, three of the six HH-60-H’s were on the flight lines ready to fly-their load-mobile low powered jammers and semi’swere loaded with bambi buckets.

At last word, all were at the ready. Delta’s and Rangers will act as eyes and ears for the pilots. As many as thirty three deltas will be used. Bullet resistant vests will be used.

Speakers at Kane Hall forum will discuss issue

In 2005, Seattle University became the first college in the country to host a homeless encampment, when Tent City came to its tennis courts.

Students at the University of Washington also wanted to host the camp, and led a series of talks that year with school officials, faculty members, and staffers from the school’s police, buildings and legal departments.

But after months of discussions, the university killed the idea. The UW had just abandoned plans to build a controversial biocontainment lab and was wary of community tension, recalled Nancy Amidei, a former faculty member who was working with the students at the time.

“That was the end of the story,” she said.

Or just the first chapter. This year, a new group of students is working to bring the nomadic homeless camp to campus, as part of a class called “Community Development for Health,” in the School of Public Health.

The students say hosting the self-governed camp, whose official name is Tent City 3, is in line with the school’s mission. The camp, which normally roves among churches every few months, is separate from the so-called “Nickelsville” camp that has been in the U-District.

“I think we need to play more of a role in supporting the community,” said Sahar Banijamali, 24, a UW law-school graduate and candidate for a Master’s degree in Public Health.

She said the school’s mission is about being part of a global community, giving back, and creating leaders that make the world a better place. “This is one way of doing that,” she said.

So far, the 17 students have created a Web site, raised awareness about the issue and organized a speakers’ forum for Tuesday at Kane Hall. They have not begun serious talks with university officials, and a UW spokeswoman did not have a response Monday on whether the school was interested in hosting the encampment.

Peter House, who teaches the class with Amy Hagopian, thinks students have a better chance at bringing Tent City to campus than faculty members would.

“They are particularly passionate about this issue,” said House, a clinical associate professor in the School of Public Health. “I think there’s a sort of genuineness when it comes to the students.”

He also said the project gives his students real-life skills beyond the classroom, such as logistical planning and consensus building. They’ve looked at how things went at Seattle University, studied the local statistics of homelessness, and researched the pros and cons of parking lots and grassy fields for possible sites.

“If you give students something that’s real, it’s much more likely that it’s something they’re going to retain, than if gave them a lecture,” House said.

But the students are in for a challenge. House said the bureacracy of a large university with little open space will likely be challenges that smaller churches — with empty parking lots on the weekdays — generally don’t face. It took Seattle University more than a year of planning before Tent City went there.

Marisa Laufer, who is earning a bachelor’s degree in community, environment and planning, was unswayed by the hurdles ahead.

“I’m really about community, so I think we could build community among students and people who are less fortunate than we are,” she said.

“We can work on this problem together.”

The forum starts at 7 p.m. in Room 110 in Kane Hall. Scheduled speakers include:

* Alison Eisinger, executive director of the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness
* Anitra Freeman, of WHEEL
* Lance Rowland, a Tent City resident
* Ted Hunter, an attorney at Sound Law Center
* Claire West, of St. Mark’s Cathedral, where Tent City is currently located
* Joe Orlando, assistant vice president of mission and ministry at Seattle University

Thirty-four campaigns will now haunt and taunt the Mayor of Seattle for the next four years. The Homeless Underground Board of Directors approved the measures-actually increased the planned campaigns after mprovements were made in technology at Burien Labs.

By the Acting Director

While the tyrant Greg Nickels runs for his third term in office, the third term isn’t always the charm. Recent voice emitted from the city attorney’s office asserted that the city has a right to manage homelessness. O.K., I’ll buy that for now, but read on.

Greg Nickels manages nothing but the death of the homeless. Recently, King County buried more than two-hundred and nine low income but most of those were homeless according to an article in the Seattle Times:

Unclaimed remains of 209 people buried in Renton

Most were homeless but some lived alone. Some died of violence, others by accident or disease or overdose. Some left family, for others no relatives could be found. A few left strong memories.

RENTON, Wash. -

Most were homeless but some lived alone. Some died of violence, others by accident or disease or overdose. Some left family, for others no relatives could be found. A few left strong memories.

What they had in common was that no one claimed their bodies after they died.

On Wednesday, a few dozen people gathered at Mount Olivet Cemetery in this Seattle suburb to pay final respects to the 209 people whose cremated remains were each wrapped in plastic with an identifying tag and placed in a group vault with a headstone reading: “Gone but not forgotten these people of Seattle.”

“(As we see) how many people who are suffering bad breaks beyond their control – losing their homes, losing their jobs, losing their health insurance – the lines of distinction between the people we’ve come to lay to rest today and all the rest of us are getting fuzzier,” said Gary Johnson, representing the King County medical examiner’s office, which arranges the burials of unclaimed remains.

“These members of our community were more like us than not,” Johnson said. “They deserve to be remembered.”

Similar group burial ceremonies were held nearby in 2005 and 2007.

Of the dead, 150 were men, 55 were women, two were unidentified people whose ashes were found in abandoned urns and two were baby boys.

Jack Atwood, a former Oregon logger who died on May 11, 2006, was remembered well by Mary Larson, a nurse at the Pioneer Square Clinic, although she hadn’t seen him in years.

Larson said Atwood, wearing bright red suspenders, occasionally would stop at the clinic to say hello. On one visit he brought a chain saw, which he said was part of a collection he had assembled despite being homeless for a time.

“He was so proud,” she said. “There he was with the biggest chain saw I’ve ever seen, just grinning.”

Anitra Freeman, a formerly homeless poet, said she was friends with some of the deceased. She said Paula Anne Gunn, who found housing just before dying in July 2006, shared a street corner with Julio Delgado, who died in November 2006.

“Every human being is important and we need to remember that to solve homelessness,” said Freeman, a member of Women in Black, which conducts vigils for women who die on the street or from violence.

She now has Gunn’s unfinished crocheting and photographs, one showing her being hugged by a young woman with dark hair – her daughter, perhaps.

“Paula was a very strong woman,” Freeman said. “She could be a stubborn woman. She didn’t give to just anybody, but to most people she was very generous.”

Laura Schoenfeld was a quiet, gray-haired woman, who lived on the streets and died on May 16, 2007, said Brigid Hagan, who also attended the burial.

“She was sweet and gentle and kind, even when things were chaotic,” Hagan said.

The county’s Indigent Remains Program, operating on a $150,000 budget, kicks in after the medical examiner’s staff cannot find anyone to claim a body after checks with hospitals, emergency shelters, landlords, social service providers, even return addresses on mail delivered after a person dies.

Some whose remains go unclaimed indicated on forms or applications that they had no relatives, and others “lived alone and pretty much did everything alone and kept to themselves,” said Joe Frisino, a death investigator.

The remains of each are kept separate in case a relative comes forward to claim the ashes after they have been buried. Frisino recalled helping a woman get the ashes of her brother years after he died.

“I think it’s something that is appreciated,” Frisino said.

In 2005 and 2006, King County was accused of selling the remains of those that died to offset the cost of the Medical Examiners and the Morgue.

The Homeless Management System isn’t perfect; in fact, nowhere near. It’s a tool of hate, denial and meanness. It has totally redundant features.

During the next four years while Greg Nickels continues warm his well cushioned behind, we will endeavor to continue to make him squirm as his cronies are exposed as a hate tool to run off the homeless from the downtown area. With his meanness exposed and using counter campaigns, we can only hope that the Mayor will resign with dignity-rather than an impeachment-in either case it is the goal of all goals to eliminate a tyrannical sociopath.

The Acting Director of the Homeless Underground (Doc) and his fiancé (Lisa) will tie the knot after a four year delay. The wedding will be conducted in a quiet neighborhood in Queen Anne a small community about a mile north of downtown Seattle. The date will be April 5.
The couple has been together nearly twelve years.
The location remains a secret to prevent the VFBA from military style ‘shivalree’. The honeymoon remains a secret as well to prevent the black glove team of Delta’s from disrupting the honeymoon as well.

One dump truck will be loaded with Washington State tobacco products. Why? Reinactment of the Boston Tea Party.

According to US History:

1776

The Boston Tea Party was a direct action protest by colonists in Boston, a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the British government. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and has often been referenced in other political protests.

The Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act, which had been passed by the British Parliament in 1773. Colonists objected to the Tea Act for a variety of reasons, especially because they believed that it violated their constitutional right to be taxed only by their own elected representatives. Protestors had successfully prevented the unloading of taxed tea in three other colonies, but in Boston, embattled Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson refused to allow the tea to be returned to Britain. He apparently did not expect that the protestors would choose to destroy the tea rather than concede the authority of a legislature in which they were not directly represented.

The Boston Tea Party was a key event in the growth of the American Revolution. Parliament responded in 1774 with the Coercive Acts, which, among other provisions, closed Boston’s commerce until the British East India Company had been repaid for the destroyed tea. Colonists in turn responded to the Coercive Acts with additional acts of protest, and by convening the First Continental Congress, which petitioned for repeal of the acts and coordinated colonial resistance to them. The crisis escalated, and the American Revolutionary War began near Boston in 1775.

Victory in the French and Indian War was costly for the British. At the war’s conclusion in 1763, King George III and his government looked to taxing the American colonies as a way of recouping their war costs. They were also looking for ways to reestablish control over the colonial governments that had become increasingly independent while the Crown was distracted by the war. Royal ineptitude compounded the problem. A series of actions including the Stamp Act (1765), the Townsend Acts (1767) and the Boston Massacre (1770) agitated the colonists, straining relations with the mother country. But it was the Crown’s attempt to tax tea that spurred the colonists to action and laid the groundwork for the American Revolution.

The colonies refused to pay the levies required by the Townsend Acts claiming they had no obligation to pay taxes imposed by a Parliament in which they had no representation. In response, Parliament retracted the taxes with the exception of a duty on tea – a demonstration of Parliament’s ability and right to tax the colonies. In May of 1773 Parliament concocted a clever plan. They gave the struggling East India Company a monopoly on the importation of tea to America. Additionally, Parliament reduced the duty the colonies would have to pay for the imported tea. The Americans would now get their tea at a cheaper price than ever before. However, if the colonies paid the duty tax on the imported tea they would be acknowledging Parliament’s right to tax them. Tea was a staple of colonial life – it was assumed that the colonists would rather pay the tax than deny themselves the pleasure of a cup of tea.

The colonists were not fooled by Parliament’s ploy. When the East India Company sent shipments of tea to Philadelphia and New York the ships were not allowed to land. In Charleston the tea-laden ships were permitted to dock but their cargo was consigned to a warehouse where it remained for three years until it was sold by patriots in order to help finance the revolution.

In Boston, the arrival of three tea ships ignited a furious reaction. The crisis came to a head on December 16, 1773 when as many as 7,000 agitated locals milled about the wharf where the ships were docked. A mass meeting at the Old South Meeting House that morning resolved that the tea ships should leave the harbor without payment of any duty. A committee was selected to take this message to the Customs House to force release of the ships out of the harbor. The Collector of Customs refused to allow the ships to leave without payment of the duty. Stalemate. The committee reported back to the mass meeting and a howl erupted from the meeting hall. It was now early evening and a group of about 200 men disguised as Indians assembled on a near-by hill. Whopping war chants, the crowd marched two-by-two to the wharf, descended upon the three ships and dumped their offending cargos of tea into the harbor waters.

Most colonists applauded the action while the reaction in London was swift and vehement. In March 1774 Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts which among other measures closed the Port of Boston. The fuse that led directly to the explosion of American independence was lit.

Take your tea and shove it. In this case Washington State Veterans are saying-take your tobacco and shove it. 1,000 Cartons will burn relentlessly in the double your price, then screw you-your on your own event. Vets now have 7 tons of tobacco brought in from the south.
