Homelessness (Photo credit: Todd Huffman)

The news today has announced the fact that the billionaire mayor of New York Has 50,000 people sleeping on the streets each night since being elected.Thats far more than before.The food stamp program is stretched to its limits now and costing over 1.5billion dollars.The homes in NewYork state are going up for sale as a  result of economy and flight to states that still respect the Constittuion of The United States.The biggest problem is thenfact that there is no manual or place that many people could go and either learn the art of survival.Perhaps the homeless person would even find how to reboard the now derailed life they once had.
Each night that these folks spend on the street with no-one caring for them.Each night there is a chance that they will become a victim of a terrible crime.The statistics are quite clear that the homeless person is more likely to become a victim of a crime than commit anything more than just vagrancy.Vagrancy:the crime of not belonging anywhere that society cant see and hate you for not reminding them that they could be there at any time themselves.The folks who look at the downtrodden,believing it only can happen to "those people".!!
The refernce would provide a place to find specific information on how to find shelter,food,medical help,whatever they would need in the place they travel to.the reference might be divided into states,cities,Federal and stae Burueas ,Charities that assist,shelters that are rated by safety and availability.
I would also add to this reference a lot of things to make the best of natures abundant resources.I read a while ago about a family that found mushrooms growing in the woods they camped in.The Asian family thought the mushrooms were like those in their homeland.The poison in the Mushrooms killed them all.
The Information in the reference would contain pictures,information on finding,testing,and preparing it to use.
How to build a shelter,How to handle social situations the street person faces.The reference would be upgraded weekly to include income/job places.Shower facilities,soup kitchens.Clothing places for barter.
The reference library could be reached from any smartfone or computer.Wifi is free in most places and those places would not find a person that was blending in the crowd.Many disenfranchised persons are smart enough to hang onto their electronics or use a library.Those who are alcoholics,drug addicts or mentally afflicted.The dark side of the homeless persons are those that prey on the helpless and like being homeless.
They live under the radar and use their homelessness to commit terrible things on newbies that just hit the streets.The law inforcement in many places add to this problem sometimes brutalizing those that are already
in a world of trouble.Who do you call when a cop beats you up with a club?The homeless can not usualy carry anything to protect themselves.being homeless,armed and without any representation in an invitation for
"Resonable Cause".The usual routing being ask for ID.No Id,Run the name and social security,address,etc.
A disarmed person living on the streets are as vulnerable as if the lived in the woods.The coyotes are with
4 and 2 legged variety.The reference would clue anyone into how to stay out of the spotlight for trouble.
The centralized library would serve different regions as it grew and would ask for contributions of information
from those both in the system and out of the sytem.The sites like the HOBO.com and other places joined together would serve to unite the resources of many worlds.
It might even create a foundation for those who want better for themselves and their families to regain a foothold on the lives they still dream of.
The dark side followers that prey on others would also have a place to have their pictures shown and short writeups of their nefarious natures.
The final article would be a place to show those who have come up lost  in a world that can destroy anyone that is not determined to over come anything they negative incounter.councelors would have a place to
work on the most lost in our society.They now live in a world those counselors would have to live in as street folks do.They could never understand the emotions and isolation till they live it.Challenge to the High end
counselors:leave all your credit cards fancy clothes,bmw or whatever,and take a bus to the biggest city you can.Then trade your nice clothes to a salvation army store.leave your fone home.buy a cheap used lapptop and a new prepaid fone.(no contacts for a month).You must become lost to all those that knew you.If you were
broke,those friends would leave you anyway after awhile.Then start to learn where to sleep,eat and live as you grow more more desheveled.The look will take about 2weeks and the clothes will too.
This is a pseudo reality,this will be purely an experiment for you counselor as you know that a warn home and a life still awaits you,back there....If it were real in your life,that would never be certain...Good luck councelor,may your experiment become an awakening of the world of the fallen and forgotten,the shunned and forsaken by all but God.
I am going to start that website in the next few weeks to get this idea rolling.I am going to have to learn how to manually link sites together.It is a worthy project.any Ideas would be wonderfully excepted

Well I am once more finding myself at the end of a Blog.Please take a moment to think of those sleeping (some with
Children )in the cold tonite.Many do not even have blankets for their children.If you can donate or lend a hand ,Please do so and God bless.

The Super Storm Sandy has left a huge section of the east coast a complete and total mess in many areas.The homes and work places that were there are no more.People that rarely needed to worry about anything more than  normal daily things are homeless.It is getting cold here in the northeast.Very shortly those people will be subject  to snow and hunger.athese are deadly things for families and people not used to survival practices.

These are families and elderly folks that will surely die if they do not have help.The various organizations that pitch in to help are going to be overwhelmed by the efforts to support thousands of persons.They will need the help of all of us.Food,Clean water,Blankets Food(non perishable),Hygiene kits,Candy,Clothes.These people have lost everything they own to fire,floods,wind.Mother natures worst tantrum in our history.

Please donate to the red cross and places listed in the F.E.M.A. web sight.The  National guard would welcome a few things to ease the cold and may life a little more bearable. They are our best home defense in a situation like this.They work with other national hero's.Law enforcement,Firemen,Utility crews,Sewage and water folks.There are millions of these unsung hero's out there working till they fall into bed from exhaustion.

The volunteers are coming from all over the country.Even the political mud machine has cease fire.It takes a lot to make Democrats and Republicans to play nice.It takes Americans to reach out and put their differences aside to help their fellow Americans in need of desperate life threatening trouble.

The President showed his concern for the people even if it costs him everything.I remember another president that just could not bring his self to help those in New Orleans after Katrina.This man has put his political Future in our hands to help those in need of help.I was brought up with this simple phrase spoken to me often,"Actions speak louder than words"I wonder if his opposition has any Idea of actually "sending whatever you can to help".Several million would be very useful to those in the ground Zero/New York& New Jersey.....Show Us The Money!!!!

We can all Find ways to Help.It would be a wonderful project for School kids is community building.
This sort of thing really makes civilization live up to the word"civilization.
The President is Getting into the midst of the afterstorm.I think he is showing that he won't back down,he will stand his ground.to quote a song.

Well,the storm has past here and we are in rebuild,repair and fill out the paperwork to try to fix our lives.It will come together again.This is the time we will sit and speak of as the Super storm we lived to talk about
This is truly the past that we will remember in the future.We will remember the dead and be thank full all those predicting the worlds end via super storm was limited in their predictions.If you feel aneed to help in any way,Please contact the organizations that are affiliated with the red cross to find links that are legal and
not crooks.

Keep the dream of freedom alive and we will talk again soon

P.S.The Red Cross did Not help anyone who lost all the things that would identify ones  home address  and id themselves.Many residents that were completely and literaly blown away(paperwork wise)are  still struggling and living in motels and apartments.They are still
attempting to rebuild broken lives from that storm blast.
There were some that ended up living in shelters and later became homeless with families in tow.Others had their families torn apart by the shear stress of the socialy shattered lives they once lead.Google the facts and statistics to learn more.Many residents ended in New Jersey and wide areas of the southern New York areas.

You see I learned first hand from the Red cross that they never help the homeless...No permanent address,No help of any kind,not even to help one get back in the social step.
uless of course you happen to be in a country where that in a mainstay of living through the kindness of politics....!

I am writing you for as long as I can.The electric power grid may fall as I write this article.New York Has evacuated many areas of the huge city.Manhattan is being hit by powerful weapons that the United States has no way of defending themselves from.There is so much desolation with wind and water in the streets.Manhattan in deserted of all people.Wallstreet is empty.Buildings have been damaged by the tremendous wind and forces of the weapons used by the attacker.

New Jersey has been hit directly as the invader breaches the shores and destroys property in its path.People are evacuating by order of New Jerseys Governor Christie.The People that have chosen to stay behind are left to their own survival.This destroyer has no mercy for any one.Old,young,infant,will be subject to harm and menace.The state of New Jersey is ground zero at this point.There is no defense for this terrible attack.
There is an overwhelming force invading our shores.

Delaware was attacked earlier today and the power grid was crashed for over 12000 households.Those homes may not have electricity for the next 3 weeks.The grid has been hit hard.6300 National guard have been called out to active duty to help survivors and evacuated persons.The service people from dozens of states and Canada to try to fix all the damage that is expected before the attackers rage is spent.There is more power yet to come.The invader is expected to join forces with two other allies to the west of Pennsylvania.The path of the invader will then head north into the middle of the New York State

This is the worst such attack on the eastern United States in history.Cellphones are expected to become useless for anything but text messages.predictions are that the fury of this attacker will increase as the day goes on.The destruction is expected to be in the billions of dollars.It may take years to rebuild the damage.
63million households are under the threat of being hammered by this attacker
 15 High rises have been evacuated in New York City/Manhattan N.Y.

We are under the attack by  the Largest Super Storm in history.It is mother nature at the her worst.The earth is striking at the most powerful nation on earth.It is the Super Storm of Hollywood proportions.This is the things of nightmares that we have watched in movies for years.There is one difference in this reality....
WE WILL SURVIVE!!!We will rebuild and prepare for future events like this.

If you are reading this ,Please take refuge in some shelter that is rated for Disasters.This is a real event and not a movie.Your safety depends on remaining calm and taking care of you and your loved ones.

You  should pack the following supplies in a dufflebag or pack,basket etc.:
Medicines
ez open foods and snacks for 3days
Water in bottles
Toilet tissues and paper towels
eating untensils
Blankets or sleeping bag
First Aid kit
Special foods or supplies ie:Diabetic snacks,etc.
Change of clothes
Hygiene it with toothpaste,towel,washclothe,
Pets need their supplies if you are allowed to take them.Meds,Food,etc

This is very serious an event folks.My lights are blinking as the outside edges of the storm hits.
I am in New York and it is windy,Raining hard and the stores are packed with folks shopping as though it was the end of the world.We finally have a reason to hear news that does not in involve the Presidential Elections.If you are told to leave,don't be stupid and stay.There is no one going to worry about you if  you are determined to stay in harms way.The rescuers have families to care for.You are slid to the bottom of a list of folks to be rescued after it is all over.Survival involves doing the things that put you at an advantage over a situation.
Please take care in situations like this .It need the smarts to use your brain and take care to live.

That is all for now my friends.I will Blog you as I can in the days to come.I'm okay and will take my own advise when Hurricane Sandy Plows it's way thru here in a day or so.I pride myself on knowing a little about survival.We "Technomads", are like that.
Pray for those in it's path ,Keep the faith and hope for the best.

10/31/2012
This was to be sent as the storm was approaching  the U.S. coastline of New Jersey.I had a large red warning that kept flashing on my blog screen from somewhere Saying,"this should not be posted".I have no clue as to who,or why.This lights flashed on and off.The cable TV in the place with free WIFI lost it's
TV portion of Satellite reception.Then about 20 minutes later,as I signed my Blog,The internet went dead.

There was various ideas of what was going on by others in the place.One person stated that the cable provider had been told to cut the cable off for National security.Another said they called the 911 to ask if the National guard was doing Martial Law yet.It got real crazy in the local supermarkets.Shelves were sold out of everything.The Frozen foods were gone(TV dinners).I really wondered how the folks buying all this FROZEN food Thought it would keep with out electricity!

The media Hyped the storm like the movies had programmed them to do so.Ok....let us go along with the hysterics for a moment.Was this storm an act of nature or was it something else that created it?H.A.R.P.?
Aliens?Was it a weapon of mass destruction.Was it a prelude to the Superstorm that movies predict?How about December 21rst and the end of the world?Would it not be a smart move to not get caught with your proverbial "pants down"if this type of disaster Actually is a omen of the future?

This may be a very good time to Plan ahead for the unexpected,even if it never happens.We all know that it just never could happen to you.It is always the other guy,right?I wonder how many folks became the "other guy" and are sitting in the dark,cold,hungry and without power today.They thought as you .Be Prepared  as best you can...That is all any of us can do..

BYE for now
