Sacramento Tent-City an Alternative to the Control Grid
- Text size
Infowars
April 9, 2009
As our government wages economic warfare against its own people, the existence of a middle class dwindles and disappears. Regardless of your political outlook, the situation has become obvious and the gap between rich and poor widens everyday. In this shifting socio-economic landscape, where will the middle class find themselves?

All around our country, phenomenon’s called ‘Tent-Cities’ are popping up as a response to our current economic crisis. There are large groups of people, banding together in open spaces, and they all have one thing in common: a desperation to survive in the growing desert that is our economy.
This is not a new story. We have all heard tales from our parents, and grandparents about these types of encampments. In The Great Depression, communities like Tent-City were not a phenomenon but rather the norm. Anyone who has fallen on financial troubles has had the thought, if they could just slow the outpour of money, they could catch their breath and start anew. Today, living in the dawn of The New World Order – this type of self help has become illicit.
In Sacramento, people deemed ‘homeless’ have been singled out by media monsters and a government of celebrities, who couldn’t be further removed from the day to day struggles of real people. Under the guise of help, Sacramento’s Mayor Kevin Johnson and Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger have placed these refugees in their cross hairs. And how does the attention manifest itself? Are they helping people to find jobs? Do they create programs to transition people off the street and into homes? Of course not. It is business as usual in this bloated and corrupt government. Money is funneled into already failing programs that do nothing more than perpetuate the problem by placing a band-aid on an already infected wound.
Before we left for Sacramento, there was a diligent attempt to speak with both Mayor Johnson and Governor Schwarzenegger in order to get their comments. From both sides, we were met with resistance and told by their publicists that both politicians would be out of town during our residency at Tent-City. This was particularly odd because when we arrived at Tent-City we learned that ‘The Governator’ had just visited the encampment, which was contrary to his publicists time line. Of course, approved media was politely invited to capture this photo opportunity. Infowars was not among those privileged journalists deemed safe enough to attend. But our special brand of journalism allowed us to peer beyond the veil and to see this situation for what it really is. This is the first contractions of the birth of a new world order. Welcome to total control. Or as the Mayor’s office referrs to it ‘tough-love’.

One of our first goals in Tent-City was to get an accurate headcount. After several days of walking the perimeter, our numbers reflected a population of almost 600 people. This was shocking because the million dollars earmarked to alleviate this plight will only create 50 more beds at the winter shelter at Cal Expo. There is no mention of what will happen to the 550 additional occupants of Tent-City or the 10 or so new occupants arriving everyday other than threat that they will be forced to leave. In addition to being seriously short of any kind of real solution, this shelter only serves to control its occupants and creates a culture that intensifies an already bad situation.
The Cal-Expo Winter Shelter is housed in the State Fairgrounds, in a old miniature golf course and is simply a bleeding heart’s money pit. The schedule of arrival and departure from the winter shelter is a bureaucratic nightmare, to say the least. This only serves to complicate the lives of the small group of people eligible for help. As we watched the 100 male shelter candidates mill about over a protracted period of 3 hours, vying for the small amount of shade, small vans shuttled inhabitants from Tent-City to Cal Expo.
Tim, an employee of Volunteers of America, the organization in charge of the winter shelter, told us the protocol for securing a bed. He explained how would-be residents arrive at the fenced off bus depot and sign-in. ‘Newbies’ are given priority and then available beds are given to ‘Repeaters’. While sign-in is technically not until 4pm, we learned that if you aren’t in line by 2:30pm you might as well not even show, as the chances you will get a bed are slim. The lucky few that make it are allowed to bring one bag to the shelter. All other belongings have to be stored in large, group containers.
Then, once the inhabitants enter the shelter, they are searched and told to submit to electronic scan to check for weapons. The schedule dictated by the shelter makes having, or getting a job an impossibility. As we were told countless times that unless you can find a flexible position that will allow you to work between the hours of 5am and 2:30pm there is nothing to do but give yourself up to this constricting schedule. Imprisoned by this schedule, inhabitants become wards of the system, and soon loose the ability to make decisions for themselves. And thus the mentality of homelessness is solidified and the refugees become less inhabitants and more inmates. But the control doesn’t stop there. Men and women are separated at the shelter and not allowed to interact. Intense searches are conducted and pets are denied asylum with their human companions. In the downward trajectory, these people have had almost all their humanity stripped away. In many cases, it starts with the inability to pay into the institutions that most of us also labor to satiate. When they lose the ability to pay rents or mortgages, their homes are lost. When they stop paying auto insurance, their cars are impounded and auctioned. When they try to survive on the street, their children and pets are snatched by government institutions.

During one particularly startling interview with met with a young man who had his RV taken without warning because he had to make the choice between maintaining his vehicle and paying high insurance premiums. After losing his job as the marketing director of a flooring company, Jason moved into an RV in an attempt to streamline his overhead. While repairing the vehicle, Jason made the mistake of not procuring insurance. When he was pulled over, instead of receiving a fix-it ticket, his car was immediately impounded, and he was left on the side of the road with only the possessions he could carry and the clothes on his back. Because of his situation, he was forced into ‘homelessness’ and unable to get his RV out of impound. As a result, all his worldly possessions were auctioned. He had no idea where the money that was raised by auction went and simply became somber at the mention of it. The money, his previous life, and a part of his soul were simply gone. Jason’s life had been gobbled up by a system that makes sure that is void of human empathy.
Another facet of life in Tent-City revolves around relationships between men and women. Most of the women we encountered were victims of domestic abuse, fleeing their abusers.
In order to successfully reside in Tent-City, these women had to forge bonds with men. This is one of the main problems of separating men from women at the shelter. Only a few women, like C.C. survived with the help of a pit bull and a small group of women who looked out for one another like sisters. Repeatedly, we were told that by these women that they felt safe where they were. Societal bonds at work, even in this microcosm.

Another overlying theme was the self segregation of the tent city residents. We were informed of four different areas – The snake pit a grassy area with lots of shade and about 30 -35 tents. The suburbs (45 tents) inhabited mostly by long time campers the tents had the most space between them. One citizen Mobilehome Dave had manged to procure electricity and had a modest settlement of five tents, a propane space heater, and a private toilet. The newbies area was populated with 50 tents and was set between the levee and a fenced off area. The largest area set under the power lines was called the ghetto by several residents and contained about 85 tents. We were told not to go there unless we knew someone there and definitely not to go in after dark. While we were there, a large bonfire consumed a couple of tents in the “ghetto” area promoting a visit from the fire department.
Beyond these obvious flaws in the system, there is the very real issue of misinformation presented as solution. Repeatedly, it is inferred that the winter shelter is a permanent solution to Tent-City. However, it is all too clear from the proposal that this is at best only a temporary solution, since its time line will only be extended to early June. There is also the very clear discrepancy of the numbers helped. 50 beds will barely make a dent in the number living in the encampment. In the end, we are not talking about a well thought out plan to get these people off the street and restore their dignity. This is more about creating inmates of a system that perpetuates helplessness and the hijacking of tax-payer monies in a state that repeatedly has trouble balancing its own books. So what is the answer?
Tent-City, while not ideal, is the closest solution to the problem while still maintaining some sense of freedom. The infrastructure for aid is already present in the immediate community with Loaves & Fishes – a faith based organization living in the trenches with the inhabitants of Tent-City. At Loaves & Fishes, residents can eat, shower, make calls, and get medical help. Volunteers from local churches drive out on the levee every evening to pass out hot food and clean water to the gracious campers. It really comes down to the simple question, do you want to be an inhabitant of a community or an inmate of a system? While it is not pretty at Tent-City, there is the very real sense that these people are living by their own accord the best the can. They answer to no one, and the only price they pay is sharing the burden with their fellow campers. It may not be middle americas best answer for the homeless epidemic, but tent cities are happening and in the next few years as the economy continues to spiral downward you may find yourself pitching a tent.

Don’t need to foreclose on it if you are the cops. Just walk in and take it. Then, when they get back to the station house, they’ll just drop it in the trunk of the car, take it home and sell it on eBay.

Another good example of denial.
Even when you are or see people forced into these dire situations.
People still deny being born into slavery.
Everything centers around JOB!!!
You are useless to them if you are not being a slave.
If you really want to stop the criminals running the world.
You are going to have to stop being a slave to their material items and learn to survive on your own.

AJ is that term “Money Vultures” in regards to a documentary video from LinkTV? I just saw a program where these wealthy bastards steal millions from third world countries, money to be used to house and feed the poor. Bush was informed of this but did nothing to stop it because one of the guys “Paul or Phil Singer and some Sheehan guy” donated big bucks to Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaign.

“third world countries” have been on the receiving end for decade after decade after decade unfortunately. The ‘civilized’ people use them in every way possible. This can be done by propping up a regime or overthrowing a government and installing one that will bow to the ‘civilized’ world. In many cases, an all out military assault will ensue just to open up markets. Why else does the US have 700+ military bases around the planet? Global finance & market share and of course…”protecting our interests”.
Some how it seems that the so-called “our interests” are more and more ending up in the globalist’s hands doesn’t it. I feel so used and abused

Only hope for tent cities is to create a pioneer-esque “campfire culture”
However that runs the risks of armed theft by pirates supplying the black market, followed by ‘mafia’-style protection gangs because American culture will spawn that type of crime. The hopes then lie in humanity triumphing over its bad side. America needs to take a good look at itself and ask “am I ready to sacrfice everything (up to and including the character traits I cherish in myself) in service to God?”
(Silly question really, it is the nature of most of humanity to always answer ‘yes’ to that, history shows this clearly)

The thugs who orchestrated America’s economic collapse should be the ones living in tent cities.
All of the Establishment’s stooges like Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, Beck and their comrades on
the fake alternative left, should be reduced to living in tents: and trade their banqueting lifestyles
for what these homeless Americans must endure because of traitors in our midst and those who
prey economically on the less fortunate. Actually, tent cities would be too good for these swine.

So what can they do if no one cooperates with this BS … arrest them? And do what with them – throw them all in jail? Well there’s only so much space in there too, so forget it. I say these people should just band together and tell the state to stuff it – there’s nothing they could do to those people if they did except be forced to just leave them be … it’s just like the illegal immigrant situation – they cant round them all up because they don’t have the resources to handle the situation so they are forced to let it go.

They have NO plans on helping any of these people, in fact they actually PLAN and WANT the entire country living like this.
The NWO and their SOLD OUT demon seeds in local and state government have help make sure this has happened and will continue to happen.
If they actually fixed the problem it would hurt their REAL agenda, which is to ENSLAVE and strip the people of EVERYTHING including their dignity so that the people will WILLFULLY surrender to them and their ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT plan.
They know that when people are homeless and starving, there is not much they would not do. especially those who are not used to it.
They will also continue to STEAL even the money SUPPOSED to be going to help these people.
You have to remember, the Globalists have NO soul and those who have helped them have SOLD theirs for 30 pieces of silver.

Well it looks like the Mayor will not get any federal money.
According to an investigation by the Office of the Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service, Johnson and officials with Hood Corps improperly used some of the $807,000 in federal money they received between 2004 and 2007.
Johnson and Hood Corps were placed on the suspension list for one year or as long as the investigation was open. It is unclear whether the mayor has been removed from the suspension list now that the investigation appears closed.
An expert attorney hired by the city said last month that Sacramento likely would be banned from federal aid – including millions from the economic stimulus package – as long as Johnson was on the suspension list. That attorney, Frederic M. Levy, wrote in a confidential memo that federal officials would likely consider Johnson a “principal” in financial decisions, a determination that would ban the city from receiving federal money.

they may soon pay the price of starvation if obama continues as planned and cuts the tax benefits for charitable contributions. Organizations like “Loaves & Fishes” may not make it through the tax law changes.
Good point but... Reply:

it’s too bad people need a “tax break” to give to an organization they believe in.
God can keep “Loaves & Fishes” funded through individuals that don’t care if they
receive anything in return.

Actually President Obama made a good point about what you just said. If it’s in your heart to give to a charity only because you get a nice tax break perhaps you are giving for the wrong reason.

Actually President Obama is hurting the charities with his tax nonsense and he knows it.
He wants to take the place of the charities.
Be the big hero sugar-daddy.

Crime does pay! the government isn’t the only one who can break the rules fuck them!

I am glad to see the “insiders” have fooled the masses again, I have lived in Sacramento Ca for 30 years, this tent city has been here longer than me. the people who want to be homeless will stay homeless, yes i am sure a few were foreclosed on, but that’s just because the banks gave bums loans!

Make sure they have guards posted and watch for police and army coming in and arresting everyone to take them to fema camps…
Better fight the bastards then go to be euthanised.

Nice site. Hope the moderators do not engage in extreme forms of censorship. For me, I can see censoring posts that get into abusive name-calling but censorship that is an act simply because of a difference of opinions or presenting other facts to expand awareness is setiing limitations on the people.

Glenn beck is misinformed or scared to tell the real truth. He is working for FOXTROT. I have a feeling he does know something, but he will loose his high paying job if he tells all. I used t listne to him when I was on the road and watch him on FOX and CNN, but he lost a lot of credability when he aired that “debunk FEMA” show. I no longer watch the fool. He in the tank with all the others on FOX who think they have the inside truth on what is going, on.
Anyway I’m new to all this and am learning a lot. Good grief what have we got into?? How can we stop this shit??? Since I have found your group here, I really see what is going on, and so far all that I have read, and seen is lining up with all the evil shit that is going on especially all the shit that went on at the G20 sumit. WE need to stop it or we will never be free. I just wonder why no other media is covering it??

Great article. Why doesn’t the city unass some land and let them have the tent cities legitimately? They could make a pretty dope one for the price of what they wasted on this propaganda stunt.

If you think that is horrendous, you should see this victimization of the homeless to a sickening degree.

Stomping on the already down trodden. This country has gone down the dark path.

everyone should live in no rent tents , that will bring down the ponzi scheme !
April 10th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
I live in Sacramento and I have worked at Loaves & Fishes in the past. Not much changes from day to day regarding thehomeless here except the increase in numbers and the newest homeless demographic due to the sickening disintegration of the middle class. Tent City is the ONLY way some people will be safe! It is nauseating to hear the way those media celebrities parading as public servants address this pandemic! Cal Expo’s winter shelter is NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN the answer!
P.S. Why can’t people spell the word ‘lose’ properly? Even journalists are misspelling it!
C’mon, folks-pay attention!

Are pets allowed to live in these tent cities? Do you have to pay a pet deposit?

Do mormons really believe in magical underpants? Do Mormons believe that God lives on a distant planet, the planet KOLOB? I have found that the answer to both of these ridiculous assertions is yes. Glenn Beck is not to be regarded as a good source of anything. Eventually his asinine ideas will come out.
