The address is the corner of Dale Street and Commercial Road in Port Adelaide.

The Grenville Hub in Elizabeth orders work-for-dole unpaid workers not to talk to old folk

The Grenville Hub in Elizabeth has helped cement the hostile attitude the young have against the old by using them from the work-for-the-dole program.
 
According to an insider, this includes making them do “toilet cleaning, dish washing, mopping floors, emptying rubbish bins and picking up rubbish around the building.”
 
This isn’t too bad, but the old Grenville Hub managers tell the work-for-the-dole people they “aren’t allowed to associate with the oldies or have any breaks. Even toilet breaks, apparently.”
 
“They eat their lunch outside on the footpath out the front where they are watched through the window by supervisors. When oldies enter and exit the building they are told to disappear and not to tell anyone who asks what they are doing there.”
 
“When the centre closes at 3pm, they are told to go to the library next door and sit there until 5pm. They are signed on from 9am until 5pm. At 5pm they go and sign off in a folder the head librarian has under the counter. “
 
“Yes, the librarians supervise them from 3pm to 5pm. They tell Grenville centre if they leave early, are disruptive, spend too long on the toilet or try to sleep…the criminalisation of the poor.”
 
Name and address of correspondent known, but who wishes to remain anonymous.
 
Second Editor: I went there six years ago. What an ugly environment it was. The Grenville Hub was hosting a lecture about abuse of old people, but it seemed to be happening right around us. Many anti-abuse campaigns are sleight of hand programs to increase abuse in the name of anti-abuse.

On the Street
 
An older man who was a child sexual abuse victim of Laurence O’Shea at a scout camp in the 1970’s is going through the redress program where the state makes up for the abuse.
 
However, he is suffering more than before because the “counselling” sessions involve retelling his story to various doctors.
 
*
 
“You aren’t a drug addict, are you?” I asked a man at a soup kitchen.
“Well, actually I am,” he replied. “For thirty years.”
 
*
 
A soup kitchen volunteer said that as a child she saw police take bribes from drug dealers in Kilburn. Those police are now “high up”, she said.
 
*
​
The man of intersex appearance was at Fred’s Van Salisbury last week. He’s moved to a flat near King William Street, Adelaide. He says it’s too noisy there.  
 
The men with a son from Kate’s group yelled at him savagely at Fred’s Van Elizabeth, two months ago.
 
Yet at Salisbury Fred’s Van, the intersex man was quite confidant and alone. Brave, actually, because most guests have very conservative views on sexuality and feminine gestures by men and this displeasure is sometimes expressed with fists.
 
*
 
Steve from Salisbury Fred’s Van was due for eye surgery this week. The surgeon planned to drill a hole in the back of his eye and inject gas into the hole. The surgeon said the surgery will either work or not work. But it never happened. The procedure date was cancelled and a new date set.
 
When it finally happens, Steve says he must lie on his stomach six times a day.
 
Steve was hit too many times in the eyes when he was young, during his boxing career. That is where the problem comes from.

Bruce Kurtzer of FaithWorks is planning a raid on Cos We Care clientele. He previously wanted to join Cos We Care’s two outdoor venues, but they kicked him out. He took too many photographs, then pretended the free food venue was done by FaithWorks.  
 
His new plan is to have a free food offering on Saturday mornings at Elizabeth Church of Christ, just across Main North Road from Cos We Care’s Fremont Park service.
 
It would be better for the underclass if he moved his Saturday times a little later than Cos We Care’s 7:30am to 9:00am time slot. Then we could jump across the road and get Bruce’s stuff as well.  
 
*
 
There is still muttering over the final destination of the two laptops from St Bede’s Drop-in-Centre. They were taken away for unspecified repairs, but haven’t been returned.
 
They were donated by Regency Rotary Club. They were stolen then then reappeared, then through insurance we suddenly had three which reduced to two and now zero. This is the Byzantine politics of Adelaide welfare.
 
*
 
Anyone getting free food from charities should develop the courage to waste. It is tempting to eat everything they give you out of gratitude, or greed. The problem is that much of it is stale or unhealthy. This is where we need the courage to throw the bad stuff into the rubbish, or onto the carpark of FoodBank in Edwardstown.
 
*
 
The can collector at Port Adelaide heard someone outside his bedroom window calling his name. He was told a month earlier by security guards at the Chinese government-owned Port Adelaide Plaza shopping not to collect ten-cent deposit cans from the rubbish bins. He lives across the road from Port Adelaide Plaza. His ancestors are from an area near western China where the Uighurs are put into punishment camps for practicing Islam.
 
Meanwhile, that gutless Australian politician, Mark Butler, with the Charles Manson eyes, hasn’t removed his political posters from electricity poles. Different laws for different people.
 
*
 
Two spies from another organisation went to the Cos We Care free food event at Fremont Park in Elizabeth on Saturdays at 7:30am. One wore an enclosing cap and dark sunglasses on a rainy morning. Slightly obvious. Hardly anyone understands the savage politics operating behind the scenes of free food services.
 
*
 
Junice came to Cos We Care on a walking frame rather than her scooter. It was damaged by rough Playford Council footpaths. Junice said the Council is paying for repairs. This could be a breakthrough for others using mobility scooters. Or finding themselves on the ground.
 
*
 
Those horrible knitted beanies and scarves are turning up at nearly every soup kitchen. They’re no good. They are multi-coloured in a style that suits 6-year-old girls or 55-year-old women who have suffered a knock on the head.
 
Homeless people like single dark colours with a small bright logo. They like tight beanies that pull low over the ears, not fluffy rainbow beanies that reach hardly lower than the top of the ears. And those scarves: who actually wears scarves except Centrelink employees catching the train home.
 
*
 
Beware of the computers accessible to homeless people at the Homeless Gateway joint on Lipson Street, Port Adelaide. They are not secure, not even protected with a password, and allow strangers to access the personal documents of other clients.
 
*
 
A man living in his car at Semaphore gets his drinking water from taps in the public toilets. Meanwhile, thousands of taps in empty boarded-up government-owned welfare houses can provide healthy water. Dr Clark of ShelterSA, where are you? Why the silence? History is being written.
 
*
 
A man says that to get skin cancer treatment, he must go to a surgeon for treatment of a single spot rather than get them done all at once. He says this is due to funding arrangements with the government where the surgeon must spread out the treatment to maintain his or her income.
 
*
 
A man in the Adelaide beach suburb of Semaphore said he lost a few kilograms after renewing his driver’s license and then not having enough money for food.

(above) Legal document placed at Faith Works free food events at their church on Clifton Street, Blair Athol and even in public parks. Will it legally protect them?

Free breakfast at Port Adelaide Masonic Hall

The CMAX SAMHRI drug research subject walked up the stairs at 8:55am. He quickly returned after being told to wait until 9:00am. A group of us hanging around the side entrance of the Masonic Hall on Dale Street, Adelaide went in at 9:05am.
 
I went to the elevator, but a Freemason shouted from around the corner not to use the elevator. That’s the problem with free soup kitchens: you get shouted at for infringing unwritten and unspoken rules. However, being disabled, it is illegal for an organisation hosting a public event to stop a disabled person from using such an elevator. Especially since it was installed for that purpose. But I didn’t want to cause a scene on my first visit so I limped up the stairs.
 
Bronwyn, Faith and others from the Free Food Basket were frying bacon and eggs. Faith wore a face mask after her teeth implants fell out. Rose Darling was also there.  She gave a homeless man her business card. Bronwyn’s unpaid workers were working hard.
 
Breakfast included raisin toast, croissants, coffee, bacon and eggs. The man with Golden Staph said the bacon was excellent because they hadn’t cooked the fat out of it.
 
The Free Food Basket crowd gave takeaway cloth bags filled with sugary food, cereal, tea bags, coffee capsules, savoury snacks and bottled water.
 
Of the three Freemasons present, one helped in the kitchen while the other two stared at us. One was the father of the Coles manager at Westlakes. The other was the one who told me not to use the elevator. He sat at a back table with his knees spread apart while he held four fingers of one hand with the other.
 
The Coles manager’s father walked across and stood over me. He said the Masons did good deeds, but didn’t tell others about it.
 
The other one, the man who told me not to use the elevator, walked to the front of the us eating breakfast. He said he wanted to take a photograph to show the government department that had funded the elevator installation, that the Masons were helping people. A few diners immediately rose and left the room while Bronwyn’s helpers moved in to pad the scene.
 
I shouted at him saying that he’d stopped me from using the elevator. He said he didn’t and that I wasn’t disabled. I shouted back.
 
Darryl Pool was there. He played football for Port Power and the Port Adelaide Magpies, then later coached the latter. Why he was there was anyone’s guess. Perhaps to make us feel better. But he would have to work hard to beat Craig, a former SANFL player who put in 13 hours at the Bunnings sausage sizzle at Munno Para to raise money for Cos We Care.
 
When a group of us guests were leaving, I prepared to use the stairs until the The Night Stalker and his friends in the elevator called me in. The door closed, but the elevator wouldn’t move. Nor would the door open. We were stuck. After 15-minutes of pressing buttons and shouting, it moved down two metres, stuck between floors.
 
What was curious was that the elevator box didn’t have a secure closed door. It was open and the elevator moved past an open wall. There was a sensor that stopped it moving if a person’s clothing or hair was caught in the crack. However, if the sensor stopped working, the moving box might drag a person into the moving wall.
 
Anyway, after twenty-minutes we reached the ground. I could hardly move the next day after over-exerting my crumbling bone joints.
 
Next week could only get better, and it did.

(above) Ray and Anne's rat infested building in Rosewater burnt down; the store in Queenstown has gone bust, but Kat Lee is back in action. Her new store is in the 1930's Hindmarsh Town Mission building at 137 Port Road, Hindmarsh (corner of Anne St and Port Road and opposite a large church).

Another big jump in Adelaide CBD homeless numbers

According to the Adelaide Zero Project, the inner city homeless rate has jumped from 167 to 227 over the past month.
 
This increase was due in part to another band of searchers sent out to ask people on the city streets, the homeless joints and the parklands if they were homeless.
 
It’s strange, but clients at the Food Barn and Hutt Street Centre say that the numbers of homeless people going there has dropped. The number of people sleeping in the CBD parklands has also dropped.
 
Nevertheless, the count is the highest ever, but there is something fishy about it. It may be connected with the government needing to justify a current building plan to construct a series of small prison buildings around Adelaide for druggies and homeless people.

Are the Hutt Street Centre showers a disease hot spot?

Some patrons wear socks over bare feet when entering the Hutt Street Centre. Others wear shoes to conceal oozing sores on their feet. Others have sores from using crystal methamphetamine. The most horrific in appearance are men with multiple lacerations from fights.
 
Are these people using the showers a health hazard to others? Despite the repainting and repair of the showers after a government health warning, they still aren’t cleaned at a rate to guarantee that no anti-biotic resistant germs cover the floor, walls and taps.
 
Would the salaried executives, Navigators and visiting social workers feel safe about having daily showers there? Do prostitutes still shave their private parts in the shower cubicles? Do clients still defecate on the shower floors? Are the door handles and taps regularly sterilised?

“I can not see mention on your page but the Salvation Army at the arndale shopping centre also does morning tea every Tuesday morning, not sure on exact time but I was there this week around 10 o'clock. Friendly staff, instant coffee and as much sweet buns as you can eat. The man serving told me they were bakers delight. You can also grab some bread and often vegetables in the foyer. Might be helpful info to some.”

Salt Church Gawler free food

 
Would they shout at me as I entered the building after badmouthing them the previous week? They did not and were friendly though not voicing their private thoughts.
 
David the Bag Man handed out grocery bags. He’s been with the church for twenty years. The Bag Man said the crowd was smaller than usual. Some were in wheelchairs and at least one had a missing leg.
 
There was less bread than usual, which was perhaps good because so many clients were fat. There was plenty of rough, but fresh sweet potatoes, turnips, beetroots and parsnips, all healthy foods. There was also bags of capsicums, tomatoes and lettuce, but these verged on rubbish bin quality. There was also a table of savoury breads and sweet pastries. The Salt volunteers couldn’t get rid of the chicken pate. One table contained knick-knacks. I got a cheap pair of underwear in my size and two door wedges. Those wedges are going to be an adventure.
 
The urn ran out of water. A church elder told Daniel the Preacher then said it was no longer her concern. Daniel was cheerful, but said everything had gone wrong that day and he just wanted to go home. But at least the urn hadn’t burnt out its element.
 
Salt Church at Gawler
25 Northside Court, Evanston Gardens. Ph (08) 8522 0000
Thursdays 3pm. No registration and identification required
Bread, surplus fruit and vegetables from local growers and whatever they can get their hands on. Coffee at 2:30pm. Occasionally excellent, other times no good.

The Night Talker on Michael S.
 
“In response to Michael S.....Seriously dude, you need to pack it in....I am not sure what part of the bible you are reading (and or trying to interpret), but all the hellfire and brimstone and throwing of Sinners, into the fire laden pits of hell, NEVER came from Jesus's original teachings! Jesus said to his followers; "Whatever thou doe'st to the least of my brethren, thou doest, directly unto me...….and Judge not, lest yea yourself be judged and finally, Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord" (NOT YOURS!)
 
“So at the end of the day, the Sinners you mention, will be judged by the almighty and HE ALONE has the power of retribution. NOT YOU! You sound like a bigger sinner than ALL OF US PUT TOGETHER! Finally, anger serves it's purpose. There is justified anger (that is anger at seeing poor treatment and harm to others) BLESSED ARE THE RIGHTEOUS, FOR THERE REWARD SHALL BE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!
 
“So the bible tells us to get angry at behaviour that is wrong or harmful. I mean Jesus tipped up the tables and threw the money lenders out.....saying "the love of money, is but the root of all evil and beware those false prophets bearing gifts, for inwardly they are as ravening wolves set against the innocent lamb." Guess what dude, HE WAS ANGRY! 

“Get some help and remember, "BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEIR REWARD SHALL BE A PLACE IN MY FATHERS HOUSE, WHERE THEY SHALL DWELL FOREVER...…..

“p.s. it is not just you that cam sprout passages from the bible! Perhaps rather than sprouting passages, you should start actually behaving as Jesus would want you to behave. (Which is with kindness, love, respect and humbleness, not like a Psycho, latter day Travis (taxi driver the movie) Bickle clone!”

The Doctor
 
The Doctor, Alice Clark, of ShelterSA, is downplaying men sleeping outside as being homeless in favour of people living in inadequate accommodation. This  might include backpacker joints, motels, overcrowded residential houses like that of Dominique’s in Salisbury who parks decrepit caravans in the backyard for Baptist WestCare escapees.
 
But The Doctor won’t say a word about the thousand government housing sitting idle in Adelaide. Nearly every Community Housing or Housing Trust tenant can tell of a nearby house left empty for months, even years, between tenants or until demolished.
 
Of course, if Alice did criticise the government, she might find herself collecting her termination pay and joining the club of highly educated Adelaide women doing WEA courses and hanging around coffee shops.

and tomorrow is Apprehension Day for these cowardly CUNTS.

Would not surprise me if there are multitudes of similar psychos everywhere in society, more abductions tortures that would pass by unnoticed except by the victims and their torturers...

examples: torture in Afghanistan Iraq anywhere to prevent "terror" by inflicting even more terror untold unseen except by "righteous Rendition".

Did an experiment on a druggie
​at the Lyell McEwin hospital
go wrong?

A reliable source in the security industry said that a security guard had considering leaving the Lyell McEwin hospital in Salisbury after a disastrous patient outcome. His job had been to protect staff from hostile patients including Ice addicts.
 
One Ice addict had been a patient there many times so staff tried an experimental treatment on him. However, something went wrong and he became “non-functioning and insane” so he was put into an induced coma “for many months”.
 
When the patient regained consciousness, he’d recovered somewhat. This prompted staff to repeat the treatment to attempt further improvements, but again something went wrong. The patient appeared to have suffered “some type of brain damage from the treatment”.
 
The guard was disturbed by his role in the process. That is why he has been thinking of leaving the hospital and working in a more caring environment, the prison system.

A Gawler wind’s hard cry
 
A ferocious wind blew through the rotunda in Pioneer Park where 400 early white pioneers lay underground, their tombstones pulled out and thrown elsewhere.
 
Salt Church had put twelve boxes of bread and vegetables on the rotunda floor that had remained from their Thursday free food day.
 
Kate’s friends and their extended family stood in the wind and talked about Mother’s Day and how the men would do the cooking. But Kate was dubious about the men accomplishing this.
 
The man with the shaking body said he’d had a full day. He’d been coming out of U Care when he fell into a pool of cold water. Then a car backing up at Drakes Foodland hit him with its tow bar. Later, in his own car, another driver slammed into his front passenger door. He said he told the other driver she didn’t need to pay for the door. “A car is just a car,” he said. No wonder everyone likes this man.
 
A woman named Tracy arrived with a box of noodles, pasta and soap. She said she was guided by a spirit advisor who told her to do things. She gave away everything then left.
 
Four alcohol drinkers stumbled across Pioneer Park and climbed up the side of the rotunda. One of them was here last week with Twitchy and two others. Another man who appeared little more than a boy said his pregnant wife was at home.
 
The C Team arrived on time. They were much nicer than the B Team from last week. Pat the Watcher saved a vegetarian spinach roll for me from the box of meat pies donated by Gawler South Bakery.
 
C Team also supplied grilled sausages, rice and chicken sauce, good sandwiches, two Cheesecake Shop cakes, coffee and a few other items. But there wasn’t any salt and pepper and the coffee water wasn’t hot enough.
 
A regular client named Diane did her best to dent the mound of Salt Church vegetables and bread, but even with her voracious need to collect stuff, she  was ineffective. What was leftover was taken by Pat, 83, in her Subaru. She’d deliver it to the St Vinnies shop the next morning.
 
The wind was so cold that once C Team and Pat had left, the remaining clients cancelled their usual philosophy discussion and also left.

(above) The boys would sit on the lawn in front of Glandore Boys Home. They were full of bravado and fear, but spoke little of what happened at the hands of the paedosexual employees during the night. They felt shame. The paedosexuals had groomed some as perpetrators. It was only forty years later at Fred's Van in Adelaide that some spoke of their ordeals. None had recovered.

Surprise at Fred’s Van Elizabeth
​on Sunday

Rock Solid held up a pair of Red Label Levis and said they cost $250. Twitchy said something, then ran from the café. Twitchy is the sort of person who responds to any comment with a pleasant smile.
 
The meal included sausages grilled outside, mashed potatoes, fried onions, egg and avocado salad, boiled carrots and broccoli, salt and pepper, coffee, Milo, tea, cordial, ice cream and those ubiquitous Cadbury cake bars.
 
There were seven or eight new clients in a cohort of sixty plus five volunteers. Two volunteers didn’t arrive so service was late. They hadn’t time to cut up celery for the salad so that was given to a few clients by the bunch.
 
German Marten added to the cringe factor. He grabbed sausages left on diner’s plates. He then asked two people still eating if they wanted the sausages on their plates. They said they did want them and were eating lunch. Marten didn’t back down and had to annoy them further by saying that they appeared to have pushed the sausages to one side of their plates and that was why he’d asked. This is why even the worst druggies are embarrassed being near Marten. He is too unusual even for them.
 
Graham doesn’t get  welfare. He rushed from the dining room to the Elizabeth station to catch the train before his two-hour ticket expired. The train was late so his ticket was invalid. He returned to the café. He buys train tickets with money he gets from collecting drink cans from rubbish bins. Eighteen cans for one ticket.
 
A man attempted to feed a piece of meat to a whining dog outside, but the owner and another man erupted in shouts that gave a hint of the violence bristling under the apparent calm of the dining room.  
 
The surprising discovery of the day was an elderly woman often censured for taking too much food. She takes enough for two people for a week. She was followed last week. She took the food to a rundown ex-Housing Trust house in Munno Para. It is occupied by an old couple who have become too sick to maintain the place or even go anywhere. She takes it to them.

Where is Marvin?
 
Marvin has disappeared. He was the Filipino man pushing a trolley around the shopping centre and sleeping in the Tea Tree McDonald’s restaurant at Modbury shopping centre. He slept there for five years. He never begged for money or made trouble.
 
Well-wishers phoned the Hutt Street Centre to see if they could help him, but the Centre was not interested.
 
Marvin has now disappeared from the shopping centre. Did the Navigators grab him and get him drugged out?

Reducing hospital waiting lists made easy

“If people are violent in hospitals they shouldn't get treated, but banned from a hospital and left to die, if the violent ppl die it serves themselves right cos they shouldn't make ppl feel threatened, intimidated or unsafe, drs, hospitals shouldn't need cops or security guards, but if u violent ppl don't repent God could strike u down dead with lighting, wipe u out with a flood or earthquake and u will end up in hell and the lake of fire.”

“Re: "Asset stripping the poor" (Post of 18 May 2019)

Really a fine and pertinent expose'.

What happens when human pigs asset strip those of us rich with Bad Luck ?

Wouldn't they be a bit cautious about getting some Bad Luck on themselves that could edge their entire criminal society into constant foraging garbage dump poverty.

Only a few scraps of meager mouldy food remain for human rats... human pigs at the bottom of a garbage mountain, such as the nearby northern gargantuan dump of Mount Wingfield ?”

(above) Don the Can Collector remembered as a boy being stripped by a male employee at Glandore Boys Home. He was stood against a window and told to watch the traffic on the road while the fully grown man manipulated him from behind. Don said he could never have normal sex as an adult and would get drugs from the Brian Burdekin clinic to trade with addicted women such as the tragic Emma Hines. Don said he had no faith in humanity.

(above) After being sexually abused for years at the Glandore Boys Home, Don the Can Collector tried for a decade to get a job as a gardener with the Adelaide City Council. They refused so he ended up collecting scrap and deposit cans from Adelaide rubbish bins. Back in 1980, Don spoke normally; he appeared normal, but in conversations he looked into the distance as if speaking to those in his past. He died of a heart attack in 2017 at his Housing Trust semi-detached unit in Pennington.

Lennard at the front

“Am I the only person out there that will prefer to visit different agencies on certain days? I know beggars should not be fussy but some workers where ever you go will have you out the door in 2 minutes flat. Tell me how you are going to fix my many problems in 2 minutes.
 
“I live in 5112 postcode and over the years I have worked out which days have the better staff. i know i know they all offer the same technically but it is not just the free stuff that people visit agencies for.
 
“The quick turn around time may well suit some people better as less questions are asked, in which case get your food vouchers on market day at the salvos. but i know who i like helping with my problems. it would be great if your page had a secret section away from agencies to discuss this.
 
“Maybe people wont want to share there little secrets or is this what gets talked about at the soup kitchens.”
 
From Len thinking out loud
 
Editor: Good thinking, Lennard. The system tries to regiment everyone including those working for the Salvation Army and other NGO’s. If they got hold of a secret list via their spies and sycophants then it could be disastrous for certain employees and volunteers. Maybe word of mouth amongst trusted friends and allies is the safest route at present.  Perhaps we need a secret society for homeless-style people.
 
Thanks for your idea.

Everyone’s favourite Monster Brothers at People’s Choice
​credit union

A customer recounts seeing the brothers once again at the credit union in Flinders Street, Adelaide. He recounts:
 
“…sitting at table, drinking coffee, spilt on newspaper, one brother watching TV, the other talking football with someone else, table and coffee placed for customers awaiting service. They decided to take over the whole f***king place. Didn’t want to sit outside because it was raining and cold and windy so they decided to commandeer the table inside. Bad luck for customers who had to stand up and wait.
 
“The credit union people, woman, are too frightened to say anything, tell the two to piss off.”

(above) The administration building of South Australia's Glandore Boys Home from the 1960's and 70's. When a boy complained of being suffocated, raped and otherwise abused by the adult male employees, the boy was beaten up and told if he said another word he'd be killed. Few complaints were put in the files and those that were, later disappeared.

(above) The administration building today at 25 Naldera Street, Glandore is used by the Glandore Community Centre. It is largely a women's and children's centre where the abused boys, now old men, are rarely seen.

Asset stripping the poor
 
When the Deep State decides to introduce an unpopular social policy, it starts with those least able to defend themselves. In this case, it is the old and poor.
 
Asset stripping of the poor takes multiple forms. For welfare people, it is defined as “decluttering or cleaning up”. The bureaucrats also call it “de-hoarding”.
 
Reducing citizens’ possessions makes them more vulnerable to government or corporate pressure. People who store water, food and other stuff can go months after authorities shut off crucial essential supplies. Those who have been “decluttered” are easy to pressure: they become desperate within 48-hours.
 
This decluttering policy resembles the nomadic stone age Eskimo (Inuit) practice of abandoning old people who became too frail to survive. The tribe would leave the invalid person next to a comfortable fire of valuable wood or fat while awaiting a relatively quick and dignified death.
 
In Australia, decluttering has become a ritual for preparing an old person for death. The smiling welfare bureaucrats urge or coerce the elderly citizens to get rid of their junk. This makes the welfare landlord’s task of removing the remaining possessions much easier. It also cripples the old person’s will to live: destroy their memories and sentimental possessions and they are left bereft, and wondering what the point is of going on.
 
Once this form of soft euthanasia becomes an established practice for elderly welfare tenants, it will move up the social ladder. It may also signal the start of The Big Cull.

​Faith Works at Carisbrooke Park
 
I was talking to German Marten behind the Faith Works trailer when a church member came around and stared at us then walked away. A minute later, Bruce Kurtzer did the same.
 
At the front of the trailer, the air was thick with hostility. Just a half dozen clients stayed around while most church people appeared to be ex-derelicts. One told Mick of Mick and Denise that he’d taken enough food. Yet the atmosphere seemed more honest than usual. It is a war on many fronts.
 
Faith Works served toast, margarine and vegemite, and gave away used clothing, aged health bars and Cadbury cake bars.
 
No one said goodbye as I left. But one must hand it to Bruce and his crew: they don’t give up.

These boys are now old men who still wear the pain on their faces as they stand in queues at Adelaide soup kitchens.

St Bede’s free breakfasts
​in Semaphore

Amanda had another baby. She is named Judy. Amanda’s mother, Joylene, has been immobile, but cannot get medical treatment due to the backlog in hospital waiting lists. Or associated illnesses that make treatment risky.
 
Trish Davids, the free hairdresser, was there two days in a single week. She brought her daughter, granddaughter and a dog. Or creatures that resembled them.
 
One client loudly badmouthed volunteers when a cardboard tray of sugary pastries was brought in. He said they were poisoning us. Much of pleasant appearance is poison such as infected prostitutes on Hanson Road with hearts of stone.
 
There were five homeless men at breakfast the previous week. The regular one said that when he closed his eyes he saw red. He said he got angry and sometimes became violent. Yet he is one of the most capable people in the building.
 
The Blind Guy said his life of ease in Sunnydale SRF is coming to an end now that he is hooked up with the N.D.I.S. He says he’s giving orders and he wants to work. He also said the SRF’s are fiddling the N.D.I.S. money granted to inmates.
 
An older woman who had a fall at home some months ago has returned with the hair growing over a head wound that required surgery.
 
I cannot remember the breakfast, but no one complained. Complaints at St Bede’s are rare though a client said the crisp bread was 2000 years old. It was baked for crispness. The client has grown out of St Bede’s.
 
Takeaway food included fresh Semaphore Bakehouse bread, decent potatoes and carrots.
 
Malcolm the Mormon, 77, is still in rehabilitation after getting a knee replacement. Another man is in crisis after getting an eviction order from the Housing Trust. They locked him out of his house then charged him rent on storing the contents. He has rented two storage containers that are costing him nearly half his income. I suggested he could store his stuff for free in the unit at our retirement complex left empty when the sex offender moved out over a year ago. This idea didn’t fly with Anglicare.  
 
St Bede’s Anglican Church Hall
200 Military Road, Semaphore (near Semaphore Road)
8:30am - 10:30am Tuesday and Wednesday. Everything free.
Hamburgers or sausages, baked beans, toasted ham and cheese sandwiches, yoghurt, cereals, slices of fruit and biscuits. Takeaway fruit and vegetables. Tea, coffee and Milo. Table tennis. Inadequate toilets, but usually clean, excellent staff. Ice dealers not tolerated.

Free Food Basket at Semaphore South
 
The one-dollar donation free fruit and vegetables were depleted before everyone had been served. There was plenty of bread left and this was fresh bread including that from the Skala Bakery. And two-litre jugs of sweet chili sauce. One client said the leftover bread went to a pig farmer at Gawler though most is sent to an autistic group. Pigs know what they want.
 
Dwayne was on guard duty and told just one client that she was taking too much. This was the mother of a volunteer. Dwayne can be subtle as a sledgehammer.
 
The free meal included cauliflower soup free from the neuro-toxin MSG, crisp bread and a meat stir-fry of decent appearance. There were also glass salt and pepper shakers on the tables. These were full compared to those at Kilburn Fred’s Van or even worse, at Salisbury Fred’s Van when they forget to put them on the tables. However, the rice in the pumpkin Risotto wasn’t cooked enough. Dessert was jelly, canned fruit and ice cream. And nothing in the meal was fresh.
 
Lester was still angry with his arm in a cast after a neighbour hit him in the back and he broke his arm in the fall. The police weren’t interested and, anyway, they are drug dealers, Lester said.
 
The sister of the ex-Deacon of St Peter’s College was there with her godson who is doing a CMAX $2500 drug trial at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute on North Terrace, Adelaide. He said they sleep in a dormitory with 24-hour surveillance cameras. He said he doesn’t know what the drug trial is for. So much for informed consent.

Soup, coffee and meal served free. No registration or I.D. required.

​Glandore Boys’ Home
from the Night Talker

“Just a quick comment about the "old" photograph of the former Glandore/ Wyndana Children's home. I doubt the photo is from the 1960's or 70's. I think it is actually earlier than that. If you use your webpage zoom function, you can get a better image of the two people standing out the front.
 
“One is a man, who looks to be somewhere between 55 and 65 and a woman, who is wearing a white uniform (either a nun, nurse or possibly Salvation Army officer? (My guess is a nurse) If this is the case, both the man and the woman, are dressed appropriately for the post-war period, somewhere between 1949 and 1955?
 
“Neither of them are dressed in any kind of attire that would have been popular or readily purchasable, in the 1960's and or 70's. The uniform that the woman is wearing (if she is a nurse) is in line with that of a Registered Nurse (R.N.) between the time span, I suggested above. The long veil she appears to be wearing on her head, was standard head gear for Nursing Sisters (as registered nurses were once called) This headgear was abolished by all major hospitals/nursing orders (except Nuns who did not modernise until Vatican 2 in 1966) in the very late 1950's, and replaced with a smaller (and more practical, starched white cap) I know this as fact, because my mother trained as a nurse back in the mid 1950's.
 
“Also, if you look at the road out the front of the administration building, it appears to not be covered with bitumen? This was very common in the working class suburbs of Adelaide, in the 1940's/50's, (which Glandore and or Edwardstown as it was known as then was one of) It was (at the time) a suburb that was quite a way out of the Adelaide CBD, and not well connected, as far as public infrastructure was concerned (e.g. it lacked decent bus/train and or tram services and street lighting, was pretty much unheard of).
 
“This was one of the reasons why Children's homes, mental hospitals and other similar institutions were placed in these (often) hard to reach places (e.g. out of mind, out of sight) (Julia Farr home for Incurables, Northfield Mental Hospital, Yatala, Minda Home, Morris Hospital/ Infectious Diseases Hospital, Seaforth Children's home and the Goodwood Orphanage, as classic examples, were all placed in suburbs, that were very hard for the average working class person and or family (without their own reliable transport) to visit. (Especially so on weekends, where public transport was limited and or did not function at all) In the case of Northfield M.H. (later Hillcrest Hospital, I believe that there was only two bus services a week, that travelled directly to and from the front entrance of the hospital, one bus service on Saturday (in the morning only) and nothing on Sunday's or public holidays.
 
“This I was told many years ago from a (now dead) retired nursing sister (who used to work at Northfield Mental Hospital). She said the public transport system in Adelaide was deliberately set up this way for many years to actively discourage people from visiting inmates/patients and or residents of institutions. This she said, resulted in many people going without visitors for so long, that they became completely isolated and often forgotten, by their original family. A sad and disturbing part of our former institutional history, in this state.”

Walking from Glenelg

“It might end up being like the boy that cried wolf for every violent ppl, drs and nurses are gonna end up getting sick and tired of helping violent ppl, if violent ppl die they will have no one to blame but themselves, unless violent ppl repent they will die in their sins and end up in hell and the lake of fire, Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but by him, there is no other name under Heaven whereby we must be saved.
 
“I recommend trusting God more than drs and nurses, pray to God and ask him to heal sickness and pain cos of all the violence, drs, nurses have been supuscious, the nurses, ambulance ask a lot of questions.
 
“I got woken up by security guards at the chapel when I was in Adelaide after walking from Glenelg to the airport, I had a headache and chest pains, I needed sleep cos from travelling a lot of security guards, cops, transport workers woke me up asked me to move on, security guards, cops, transport workers are pretty much asking to get punched in the face though or killed the cops also arrested me cos I was angry with the security guard for waking me up at the chapel.
 
“They asked me what my name is and I said to them why don't u pray and ask God what my name is, they arrested me for that, they said I wasn't allowed to go to the Royal Adelaide Hospital or leave SA, asked me to go to court, but I told them at the court house I'm not going and a security guard there said I didn't have to go, so anger got me in trouble and out of trouble, security guards, cops, transport workers need to leave ppl alone, give ppl space and peace and quiet.
 
“They need Jesus and discernment and not be paranoid or suspicious, the Sargent at Adelaide said he didn't believe in God, an atheist, so how does thus atheist Sargent expect ppl to obey the law if he doesn't believe in God, how gave Moses the 10 commands, a couple are u shall not kill, u shall not steal, what a hypocritical Sargent that isn't setting a good example, shame on him for not believing in God, no wonder cops have shot ppl?”

Thomas Crow writes from the Elizabeth Salvation Army

“I love coming onto this site and laughing at all the crackpot wacky BS China conspiracy theories that you write and I was wondering where the advert for Clive Palmer was going to pop up.

“But after my older brother Tommy wrote about "fact-checking" I decided to do a bit of research myself.

“I wandered down the hill to visit the closest person you constantly put down. Lt Dale Allan. Sitting with him was enjoyable and entertaining, not once did he try to bash me with God or invite me to church, but he did offer an ear to listen to my story and he told me about some of his past life.

“So I asked him if he knew of this site, which he said, "Thats the site that called me crazy, told everyone about the arrival of his cats, put up things about his youngest sons and then accused him of stalking. Not really." We joked about that stuff and how he dealt with it. Which he was thankful for.

“Then I asked him about recent things that was on the site which was about his church. Which he addressed.

“I knew the answer to the first fact that you completely got wrong and that is. Shopping Centres always have a FML Site that they gift to the charities. Which he confirmed.

“We both laughed at your "Hard Rubbish" suggestion.

“Obviously you must have misheard the whole of the conversation that Dale had with Torey. I was there and you missed a big part of it which Dale also confirmed.

“I love how it hasn't slowed you down from using the KBL and her daughter as sources. Even after they moved away from your Anglicare Block. Dale finds it funny that he is stalking her by just driving down Midway Road heading to the city. You once called the KBL daughter a "social lubricant", maybe she is using it on you.

“This bit has nothing to do with Playford but I went to the Gawler Salvos two days ago and the place had 30 people in it and the Cafe food was great. Then I looked at your pictures and yes the place would be empty at 4-5pm when you took that pic. Playford is empty at that time to. Where are the people? They've left for the day.

“Before I finish, what is with the "Coming Soon" section? Just publish your crap when you get it, what you think that your Stephen King? You building suspense for your "homeless readers" Maybe in the time you graced yourself on the centre/program you should use the time to fact check.

“I might go to Fred's in Gawler or Salibury next week and ask them the same questions as I did today. Or Gospel City Church or some other places just to make sure your being truthful in your reporting.

“When I come down to the Playford Market this Friday, to get my little support, I hope that one or all of you faceless people come out and sit and have a chat with me in the foyer where I will be sitting waiting for you.”

Second editor: Thank you for your stinging comments. Yes, Adelaide Homeless Journal does make mistakes. We deliberately use soup kitchen sources that are hard to corroborate. Those with no other voice.
 
However, in the main, we write of unfairness against those living outside and of the homeless housing racket where bureaucrats siphon off money that should have been allocated for housing. And of the1000 Adelaide welfare houses that remain empty at any one time. And of how welfare houses and units are allocated to drug dealers and new arrivals to Australia rather than to straight Australian citizens, particularly homeless Australian citizens.  
 
The officers at Playford Salvation Army in Elizabeth East work incredibly hard, but they chose this profession that pays relatively generous salaries. They should face legitimate criticism for operating services including work-for-the-dole style volunteering and their employment and training agency. These sometimes result in extremely poor people being kicked off the dole. We don’t owe the Army or its salaried officers anything. They are paid to serve us.
 
Perhaps the toughest job at Elizabeth Salvos is cleaning up the stuff dumped outside the donation bin in the evening, and subsequently scavenged by thieves during the night, the remains being soaked by the rain and left lying on the ground. No wonder that fellow in the cowboy hat who cleans it up each morning at 7:00am is grumpy.  
 
One of the bigger problems facing homeless welfare services is that few people living outside use them. The atmosphere inside welfare joints is too frightening and the questioning too intrusive and insulting. A homeless person leaves the place debilitated and that can be a deadly condition when living outside or in a car. And this is spoken from the experience of someone having lived outside for ten years.
 
Any further comments from you will be appreciated, particularly of services offered by the Salvation Army of which people living outside might be unaware.

No homeless speakers allowed at the homeless week homeless conference

Organisations would previously drag up the usual suspects to give credence to “homeless conferences”. The token man ― and it was usually a man ― would tell the audience how he was in the depths of despair until saved by some angelic welfare employee. This little speech was tolerated providing the man talked about his personal life and didn’t stray into commenting about the administration of homeless welfare.
 
But times have changed. The powers that control the homeless welfare racket in Adelaide have become so paranoid that even a token homeless person cannot be risked at a homeless conference.
 
Thus the rumour doing the rounds is that the Don Dunstan Foundation has determined that no homeless people will be allowed to speak at the 2019 homeless conference during “Homeless Week”. Too risky. They might expose some aspect of “The racket”.

Mixed Opinions
 
George the Elder says that the Wednesday and Saturday DUO meals in the Benson Room at Adelaide Congress Hall are better than ever and host huge crowds.
 
However, another patron says that the Salvos have cancelled the Saturday church service, pizzas are a rare event, games have been cancelled, practically no takeaway food and that the front of building baristra machine lies idle while a portable gadget has replaced it in the Benson Room.
 
Salvation Army
277 Pirie Street, Adelaide (close to Hutt Street)

6:00pm Main meal and dessert. Quiz and games. Closes about 9:00pm.
Entrance through back door for meal in Benson Room. Occasionally swags and blankets for those sleeping outside.
Drug dealers outside. Prostitutes operating next door will trade sex for drugs. Fascinating high quality and dangerous guests and staff. Closes earlier than before due to fighting and drug dealing. Anyone leaving cannot come back in.
Always be kind because many people in Adelaide’s underclass scene carry terrible emotional and psychological wounds to the extent they can no longer speak. They just hit you.
 
Wednesday evening program: Entrance from back door on Wednesdays evenings.
6:00 - 10:00 pm. Doors open at 6:00pm for coffee. Meal served at 6:45pm. Free haircuts with Danielle at 7:00pm on first and second Wednesday of each month. No I.D. or registration required. All free.

The Food Barn at Elizabeth
 
The Liamsans guards have gone. They have been replaced by another security company. Liamsans’ guards appeared to be ex-Army while this new guard could be undercover drug squad material. He isn’t. He looks like a druggie, but he isn’t that, either. What remains to be seen is whether his eyes see beyond the obvious.
 
The meal on a day last week was tuna mornay baked perfectly followed by Christmas cake and custard, All Natural Bakery wheat bars, purple grapes, apples and coffee. The new salt and pepper shakers are kept at the front counter in case clients liberate them from the tables.
 
The new guard accepted a guitar and sang a song to Lucky then rushed off to tap his phone against security tags placed around the Anglicare complex.
 
Someone doing a Monash University study interrupted the meal by shouting that he was paying $30 in Coles cards to anyone having had their welfare income involuntarily managed by the Basics Card. A man dressed like Robin Hood walked off with the Monash fella who later approached some Aboriginals because they form the majority of over 300 people in Elizabeth who have been hit by the Basics Card.
 
Kirsty the non-cook talked to various people in the dining room. She acts naturally and doesn’t wear any exaggerated smile. Diners like her.
 
George the Elder was eating an orange and thought he’d bitten on a rather large seed until discovering it was one of his back teeth. He said his other teeth were now falling like dominoes.

Doctors create their own reality
 
A young Adelaide woman went to the doctor with mild anxiety and a post trauma disorder. The doctors and psychiatrists put her on numerous drugs resulting in her becoming psychotic and threatened her mother with violence. The doctors said this was proof of her mental illness. Her mother said it was the drugs causing the problems.
 
Against medical system resistance, the mother got doctors to wean her daughter off most of the medications. The young woman returned to how she had been before going on medication: suffering anxiety, but sane and able to function in society.
 
She is now on mild sedatives for anxiety and living a productive life.
 
Without her mother, she’d have been diagnosed as psychotic and disabled with many medications that routinely damage livers, kidneys, eyes and the pancreas.
 
Other psychiatric patients have not been so lucky to have such a determined and knowledgeable mother.
 
Identifying details have been omitted to protect privacy.

(above) A quality backpack lying amongst vegetation due for removal near where Emma Hines used to camp outside the West Terrace Cemetery. Every item carries a story of the intensity and desperation of people living outside in the City of Adelaide. There should be a burial and ashes section for homeless people who die in the Adelaide CBD parklands. Circa April 2019.

Fred’s Van Salisbury
 
German Marten said that going through the takeaway food queue was a waste of time. He was right; it gets worse every week. A bit of bread and rotting vegetables. While we were waiting, Fred’s Van staff put out a jug of cordial and two plates of homemade chocolate biscuits. They were nice.
 
Very few people turned up and not a single indigenous person.
 
German Marten ensured Barkuma Peter was served all the components of the meal in the hustle of the overcrowded Salisbury Institute. Peter was a Barkuma executive and tries to maintain his past status wherever he goes. The Maranello pizza shop people brought trays of exquisite pasta, a world away from the usual soup kitchen pasta dishes.
 
Marten spends most of his time running his German language forums to which he has attracted four million page views. His subjects are child abuse and pharmaceutical experiments on vulnerable people without power. His experience of a child labourer in a Lutheran work camp after World War 2 is his reference point.
 
Meanwhile, a former tenant at The Terraces apartment building, run by Unity Housing, remembered the good old days when he was No. 1 dope dealer. Pension day was a gold rush with the tenants lining up. The dealer is long gone from The Terraces and no longer sells dope or any drug. A happy story. 
 
Another client said that hardly anyone turned up at the last Ingle Farm Salvation Army free food offering the day after Anzac Day. Many thought it would be cancelled as was the Playford Salvos free food Friday. But it wasn’t and everyone got frozen beef. Service in the homeless welfare business is haphazard and unreliable so veterans grab everything and anything in expectation that it won’t be available the following week. This is one of the stimuli of the urge to accumulate stuff.

The Vitamin Man at Pilgrim Church

“***** **** rang a former woman friend from Mt Gambier jail last year and asked for a cash loan which she gave him. However, since she has started asking for her money back $180, according to her he has changed his personality and become abusive and nasty. She is heartbroken by this coz she trusted him. She never thought he wouldn’t pay her back. Moral of the story, don’t lend ***** NUTHIN.”

Editor: The woman in question is the patron saint of lost causes. She might congratulate herself on doing a good deed then write off the money as gone forever. The man in question is a decent fellow, but hates repaying money or returning borrowed items.

Fred’s Van B-Team at Gawler
 
B Team served fresh meat pies from Gawler South Bakery plus chicken soup, chicken stew, pasta with beef sauce, ham and cheese sandwiches. When I said I didn’t eat meat, a volunteer shoved a dish of mushy pasta in my face. I declined his offer so he pushed it closer and looked me in the eye. I backed away. Then he and an elderly blonde woman laughed harshly while they made jokes about vegetarians.
 
There were also two cheesecakes from the Gawler Cheesecake Shop, one chocolate and the other multi-coloured. And bananas, a few oranges and eight apples. The coffee wasn’t hot. They should make more effort to arrive with hot water. It isn’t rocket science.
 
Twenty-five clients were there including Twitchy, but without Rock Solid. She came with three homeless-style people as they shared a small bottle of wine.
 
Pat, 83, was helpful as always, but had a bad back. She’s the concierge and was much needed on this windy cold evening.
 
Fred’s Van are moving their free meal into the Gawler Recreation Centre over the coming months.
 
Gawler Fred’s Outdoor Food Van
Pioneer Park, Horrocks/Lyndoch Road, Gawler (opposite the Visitor Centre)
Thursdays 6:00pm. Fresh soup, hotdogs, pies, sandwiches, coffee, takeaway bread.
Under the Lions Rotunda during wet weather, otherwise on the grass. Showers nearby.

Re: disinformation from the housing trust
“Ever notice that if something looks smells feels sounds tastes like something then it’s usually because it is that something ?

examples:

if someone seems ugly then usually they are ugly.

(beauty’s only skin deep but ugly cuts straight to the bone)

if someone often jerks about then they are indeed a jerk.

if a ho looks like a ho, dresses like a ho, behaves like a ho then they usually is a ho.

the same exact thing is in public housing.

if a corrupted public housing officer is Russian mafia then it’s because they are mafia Russian.

would not trust public housing SA in any way shape or form.

in some ways homeless person in outback hills rural areas is better off than in big house public housing criminal facility.

am victim of public housing hell SA… please limit reference as housing trust to those who can be trusted.”

(above) An idyllic spot in the Adelaide CBD parklands? It is also a prime example of hostile architecture. The seating is slightly shorter than old-style park benches. This is to make it difficult for homeless sleepers to stretch out. The seating bench is narrower than old-style benches so if a homeless person rolls over he or she hits the ground with a thud. The arm rests on either side are designed to prevent a person from stretching his or her legs over the end of the bench. The result is sleep deprived homeless people acting strangely and thus mistaken for drug addicts.

Michael Buchan: More lies
 
A non-Housing Trust tenant phoned the Housing Trust (S.A.H.A.) about its contractor dumping rubble outside its fence at a complex in Elizabeth. The government bureaucrat on the phone demanded the name and address of the complainer then laughed and said they “probably won’t do anything about it”. The Playford Council responded similarly saying that because it was the Housing Trust, the Council would not order them to remove the rubble as they would a home owner.  
 
Meanwhile, Michael Buchan, the South Australian Housing Authority (Housing Trust) C.E.O., was reported in the Messenger Press that they will “…focus on serious complaints and redirect or refer minor complaints through more appropriate channels, including local councils where appropriate.”  Anyone living in a Housing Trust unit with drug dealing neighbours knows this is more disinformation. Buchan is possibly a compulsive spin doctor who has come to believe his disinformation represents the truth.

Mick runs from building
 
Mick had a gutful. The Red Cardigan lady told him to keep Denise away from her house. Mick said that if he went close to her he’d be put in jail. The Red Cardigan lady wouldn’t stop. Mick threw his hands in the air as he fled from the Salisbury Institute building. The Red Cardigan lady chased him. So did another man sitting next to Tricky Mick.
 
Twenty minutes later they returned. Mick said he’d changed the locks of his house three times, but Denise still got in. They have a mutual restraint order against each other, but Mick gets blamed if she comes to his house. On one occasion she suffered a minor head abrasion and now Mick expects he will go to jail for it. And he can’t find his skeleton key. That’s how he thinks Denise gets in. And now the Red Cardigan lady blames him for Denise going to her house. “I can’t do anything about it,” he says.
 
The Fred’s Van meal included pasta (good, but not as nice as Maranello’s), mini-sausage rolls (very mini), fresh salad (tiny amounts), cake (high quality) with ice cream (so-so), coffee (good) and biscuits (slightly stale).
 
Damian talked about his role as a CMAX test subject for drugs at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute in North Terrace, Adelaide. Another slightly unsubtle diner pulled out her phone to show a youtube documentary about a drug trial gone wrong and where some test subjects had organ shutdowns and lost fingers.
 
The Salisbury Institute building was too crowded. Fred’s Van should use the takeaway food room as a second dining room similarly to how the Salvation Army used a second room for their Saturday meals. The overcrowding is insulting.
 
They also pack up too early. Fifty-minutes after we entered the dining room, nearly everyone was gone and volunteers were thumping the chairs on the wooden floor loudly. They seem to be normal until they pack up the chairs and then they go psychotic. Fifty minutes may sound adequate, but it takes 45-minutes to serve everyone.

Baptist WestCare getting desperate
 
Baptist Care must be getting desperate. They’ve been phoning ex-volunteers asking them to return. Even volunteers kicked out are asked to return. This is because the person doing the phoning doesn’t know the history.
 
Baptist Care need volunteers for their homeless joint to mop the floors, pick up bloody syringes and clean the toilets, and serve meals to homeless people and Ice dealers. This is at the Baptist Westcare homeless joint at 212 Wright Street, Adelaide.
 
This ring-around has been in addition to placing advertisements on Seek, also asking for new volunteers.
 
One ex-volunteer said the drug and violence situation would have gotten worse at WestCare because the overall situation in Adelaide has deteriorated. The volunteer said that unpaid volunteers “can even get bashed; they’re always breaking up fights”.
 
Those volunteers and clients most in danger hold anti-drug views, and therefore become targets for the drug dealers who are supported by management.
 
Employees seemed happy and did nothing when drug addict Mark Nicholas Arstall poked a dull knife into the back of an old man then splashed a bowl of soup over him.
 
The addicts and dealers rule WestCare because there is too much money in drugs, both in treating addictions and the economic activity they generate. Too many people including former Australian Trade Minister Peter Robb are on the take and our current politicians are too compromised to offend China where much of the precursor chemicals are manufactured and exported to Australia.
 
Even South Australian Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said on ABC Radio Adelaide in 2018 that, “I am not in the business of arresting ice dealers.” Grant isn’t corrupt, but is following political directives.

Gospel City Church free food
 
Gerry was once again frank and open when he said the free Second Bite food wasn’t their main aim. Their main goal was bringing people around to accepting Jesus as their saviour.
 
Murray Jolly died this month. He drove the invalid scooter. His bandaged legs were incredibly swollen due to diabetes. He was calm while being ignored, but smiled naturally whenever someone spoke to him. He doesn’t smile any more. He lived near Uley Road near the Munno Para shopping centre. His wife died two years previously. “He was good one day and gone the next,” Gerry said.
 
Charlie is the current food distributor. He replaced Jamie. Charlie served with the Australian Army in Malaysia in the 1960’s where they used bayonets and single shot .303 short barrelled rifles. His unfiltered recollections are different from the official accounts.
 
The number of people going to the free food day on Saturdays has declined. Two former clients, now at Salt Church in Gawler on Thursdays, said they’d stopped going to Gospel City because of “one potato here, one orange…,” that is, not enough giveaways.
 
However, last Saturday Gospel City gave away a tray of frozen meat and three eggs to each person. There was the usual limited quantities of Second Bite fruit and vegetables. The bread was too old, but the atmosphere engaging and pleasant.

Kill Box Lady’s son-in-law swells up like Bert Newton

​The 90-year-old Kill Box Lady visited her grand nephew, but he wouldn’t get out of bed. His kids threw food on her and even the baby poured water on her. The Kill Box lady said she would never visit them again.
 
On a happy note, when she went into the Commonwealth Bank at the Elizabeth shopping centre, a screen brightened up to announce “Happy Birthday Kill Box Lady” except that it used her other name. The Kill Box Lady was impressed.
 
Meanwhile, the ex-husband of her daughter is gasping his last breaths in the nursing home. He has throat cancer and his arms and legs have swollen bigger and bigger, and his head has swelled up. His wife says he looks like Bert Newton and is still swelling. Pictures of Bert Newton should be displayed on tobacco products as a warning what heavy smoking can do to the human body.  ​
 
The Kill Box Lady’s neighbour, Ken Little, called the police when her daughter visited. He said she shouldn’t be on the property. Ken Little also antagonised another neighbour by claiming his garden was the best. The neighbour responded by pouring petrol on Ken’s grass and lit it. “Ken upset him, when upset, he does that,” the Kill Box Lady’s daughter said.
 
Meanwhile, Pam has had another fall and was treated by an ambulance crew. Her house is crammed with knick-knacks that she buys at every opportunity. Maybe she tripped on one of them.

Mrs Anderson leaves UnitingSA
 
Mrs Anderson was the payroll lady at UnitingSA. She was a longterm employee whose exit had an influence on the patrons of Chat and Chew. This came in the form of a crumbling hard cheese, camembert, blue cheese, almonds, dried apricots, dates and crackers. Trays leftover from her exit gathering were sent to us. However, Olec and myself were the only diners who really appreciated such foods. Olec was born in Syndey, but grew up in the Soviet Union until its collapse when his family returned to Australia.

Disinformation from the
​Housing Trust

SA Housing Authority (S.A.H.A.) Chief Executive Michael Buchan has been spreading more disinformation on a fake crackdown on drug dealers operating out of Housing Trust properties.
 
The change, he wrote to the media, will be to “…focus on serious complaints and redirect or refer minor complaints through more appropriate channels, including local councils where appropriate.”
 
This is meaningless disinformation. The Housing Trust targets people who make complaints against drug dealers and prostitutes operating from government welfare housing properties.
 
Placing drug dealers among non-drug users is a commercial decision disguised with meeting “diversity” targets. By placing a single Ice dealer family in a clean community, this opens up a new market. The dealers ingratiate themselves with the clean tenants and slowly recruit new buyers. When these new addicts run out of money, the dealers help them become burglars robbing other welfare tenants. The women addicts are introduced to the prostitution business. Placing a dealer amongst clean people is a commercial decision made by people within the South Australian government.  
 
Bureaucrats like Michael Buchan are promoted because they are able to spread disinformation without suffering pangs of conscience. And Buchan knows when to keep his mouth shut on taboo subjects. He won’t say a word against the government policy of keeping 1000 Adelaide Housing Trust units empty at any one time while non-drug using people currently sleep outside in Adelaide in the winter rain. Buchan is another troll in a gamed system.

In response to dangerous bacteria in rubbish bins

From the Night Talker

“I have been bin diving on and off since 2012 and I have never caught this bacteria. I use good quality gloves (They are called Mechanics gloves, which I purchase from Automotive spare parts stores like Autopro and Sprints) and also keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in my car.
 
“If you have cuts and abrasions already on your hands, you must ALWAYS wear gloves and I suspect, that you may have some other issues as well (like low immunity or some kind of nutritional deficit?) You call also possibly be anemic? (This means that your cuts and scratches won't heal well) Sounds like you need a trip to the doctor or if you can't afford that, then go rummage through a CHEMIST WAREHOUSE bin. They throw away damaged packets of Elastoplast and all sorts of useful things (I have been targeting the one at the back of Coles at Gawler for a while and also the one on Main Nth Road at Salisbury) Go there before they shut late on Thursday evening (late night shopping night) and the bin will be unlocked.”

“I was directed to your site by a fella having lunch at Anglicare. Thank you for the time put in, I will find your page very useful for services when travelling around. But you sure have a lot of negative things to say. I have now been to a few of the support joints you talk about in Elizabeth and have not had the experience you did.
 
“The one with the church had friendly staff that treated me like a real person, not a homeless statistic. Anglicare lunch was nice and basic but it was hot and free. Yes, we had white bread and rice but we have to be realistic about what can be served in bulk for free. A perfectly balanced meal would cost more and I am assuming they use donated items so need to use the resources available?
 
“I was almost turned off visiting them after reading some of your posts but glad I did. So my question to you is with all the negative where is the positive? Maybe you are going about the process the wrong way to be getting the experiences you are.......or maybe you are being unrealistic or paranoid as someone else suggested? The fella I met at Anglicare had also been helped with some clothing and blankets, which gives me some peace of mind going in to my first winter in my car.
 
“Maybe you should come out and speak to some of the dinners about how they have been helped and by who and not just what they are missing out on because of the govement. Bitching about organisations on here isn't going to instantly get them more funding. What would be more helpful is to help us find where to go for what especially as a bit of a loner navigating new areas. Thanks and keep up all the good work.”

Paronychia : a Bin and Dumpster Danger for Homeless Garbage Scavengers

From the anonymous contact page
 
“Just ta let ya know there's a real threat to fingers of those who mess with Paronychia, a bacteria in bins that will try to turn your fingers into very painful pulsating pus sticks.

“Paronychia often infects from cuts near the edge of fingernails and is near impossible to evict.

“Takes very dry conditions plus antibiotics to force it to leave.

“Methyl alcohol or acetone fingernail polish remover soaks may help a bit but even these do not kill the Paronychia that dwells under the skin. A visit to a doctor or health clinic is often necessary.

Source: Acute and Chronic Paronychia
https://www.aafp.org/afp/2008/0201/p339.pdf 

P.S. If someone really insists on stirring up the contents of a bin or dumpster, then PERHAPS they can fend off Paronychia by wearing fully protective gloves, cleaning themselves off fully and completely once the grubby grab or dive is done. Paronychia will make those cuts in fingers, fingernails or anywhere turn into a living hell.

Adelaide Dental Hospital
 
The Adelaide Dental Hospital is pulling out most of the teeth of a woman from Elizabeth. If she were not poor, and not a drug addict, the dentist would try to save her teeth as they’ve done with mine. However, there is a certain justice in applying limited dental resources to people who destroy their teeth with Ice.
 
Yet this couple seem normal people caught in the whirlwind of drugs, the precursors of which flow into Australia from China with only token resistance from a compromised Australian government.
 
And, as the Police Commissioner of South Australia, Grant Stevens said on ABC radio last year, “I’m not in the business of arresting Ice dealers.” Stevens, who is not a crook, went on to qualify that statement saying his priorities were the major sources of drugs, but those selling on the streets knew the truth when they heard it. They know there is a force within society that want to destroy its people. And this force does not consist of direct drug dealers; they are simply tools of this other group. But who is this powerful other group and why do they want to destroy us?

Adelaide employer having trouble finding workers

No one raised their hand when Salisbury a job network employee asked a group of clients whether they wanted to apply for a job with Tri-transfers in Edwardstown. It was piecemeal work. Tri-transfers would pay for each job completed.  
 
Tri-transfers began operations carrying elderly people on bus trips then expanded into carrying people with special needs, in this case, disabled people. Tri-transfers owner and former Prince Alfred College student, Craig Bottrill, said he later recognised the need to carry people with even more extreme special needs.
 
There was resistance in Edwardstown when he applied for a license to install a large fridge. Neighbours worried about vehicles delivering their cargoes during the night.
 
The chance for Craig Bottril to expand his living passenger service came when South Australian Ambulance medics complained about being trained to save lives then ending up carrying fresh dead bodies or the putrid or dessicated remains of solitary people found in their homes. Abulance management also considered the cost of decontaminating each ambulance after particularly messy transfers.
 
That is where Craig Bottrill came in with his six seater refrigerator. He’ll store the body bags in his shed fridge until they can be transferred to the crematorium or funeral parlour. That is why he asked the Job Active joint to ask unemployed people to become on-call subconstractors to pick up the meat from around Adelaide and either deliver them to morgues or back to his fridge.  
 
The new employees won’t be thrown into the job unprepared. They will undergo at least one night with an experienced corpse recoverer before going out on their own. They will also be supplied with a Hazmat suit, body bags and a van. Requirements are being able to speak English and not have a bad back or knees as some corpses weigh 140 kilograms and may be bloated. They must also be proficient using a small shovel and not be overly sensitive to odours.
 
With an aging population, collapsing economy and the approaching of the Big Cull, Craig may have to expand his refrigerator to warehouse size. And by adding this new service to his existing business of carrying old people, he will be able to combine two services for one customer on the same day.

Craig Bottrill’s business number listed on his webpage and in the phone book is 0413 584 770.
 
A very interesting job for someone planning to write a novel.

(above) Janet Crease rebelled at being sold as a teenage prostitute by her father in the 1950’s to sailors on the SS Karatta in Port Adelaide harbour. She was sent to “The Pines” girls’ home at 342 Marion Road, North Plympton. At release time, staff asked her where she wanted to go. Her choice was back to father. The sexual abuse had created a bond between her abuser and herself, the child victim. This is why it is dangerous trying to help a victim track down and punish his or her abuser.

(above) “The Pines” in 2019 is a retirement centre for Catholics who wheel their walking frames about the property. Few, if any, would know about Janet Crease’s story that she told in her book, “A reason to live.” The book is strangely disappearing from South Australian libraries.

A way to bolster the flagging "Duo's" program at the Salvation Army
From the Night Talker

“It is well known the Wednesday and Saturday Duo's program at the Pirie Street Salvation Army, has been waning for some time (a loss of patronage/interest?) and that the Salvation Army is currently looking for a new Manager to run this program (they are currently advertising on Seek).

“Well I have the answer! Why not invite the "whores" and "strippers" from the brothel next door to the Wednesday and Friday night get togethers? . . . I think the girls would appreciate a free cuppa and maybe find additional clientele (I mean times are hard, so you got to drum up business, where you can) and this could even be therapeutic for those men who go to Duo's. 

“I think I am on a winner here? What do other people think? I would love the input of the Salvo's. Are Whores not the children of Jesus as well as the rest of us?”

A most horrible stale food joint 

“It’s the most disappointing thing I’ve come across. It’s just a little tin shed back of the church. I get there and it’s about ten to eleven and I walk in and the guy says, ‘Oh, I’m glad that somebody has turned up,’ and I thought, oh, this is going to be bloody good.
 
“He’s got all these items and he’s got prices on it and…the prices are unbelievable, dearer than what you can buy in Coles or Woolworths, and this stuff would have come from FoodBank so how can he justify the prices.
 
“He had a tin of corn there, a $1.20. You can buy it for less than that in Coles and this was a Coles brand. And he had a slab of Coke, which would have come from Foodbank as a freeby…two weeks before the expiry date. Now, he was selling the cans, the cans was 55 cents. Sometimes on special at Coles there nearly that price [67 cents]. And he was selling bottles of water.
 
“I looked on the other side and he’s got bread there and the bread is three days out-of-date and I felt it and it looked like it had been frozen, and then he’s got some vegetables there, some carrots, potatoes and whatever.
 
“He said, ‘Anything over there is free [the vegetables and frozen bread], but we would like a donation on the way out.’ And I said, what if people come here and they just haven’t any money and he said, ‘There’s always a way, possibly they can afford a little bit of money, somehow.’
 
“He said, ‘Before you go I’ll give you a pile of leaflets to hand out to people.’ I said, have you just started and he said, ‘Oh, no. We started in January,’ and then he said, ‘Next Thursday we won’t be here and also the Thursday after.’
 
“So he gave me the handful of flyers and I walked out, back onto Portrush Road and I’m walking down the thing and I see this garbage bin so I upped the lid and threw everythign in the rubbish bin and thught, stuff this shit, and walked out onto Magill Road and caught a bus.
 
“Thoroughly disappointed and pissed off with the whole thing.”

Cheap and free vets
from the Night Talker

“Cheap vets, payment plans/desexing and other types of animal assistance, currently available in Adelaide.

“The Hutt street Centre has links with free-vets and Vets in the Park days, where people who are homeless/unemployed and or on low incomes or struggling to afford vet treatment, can get assistance with (domestic) pet related, health issues. Contact the Hutt street centre during weekdays on 08 84182500 or leave a message out of these hours, and your call will be returned


“C.A.T.S. assistance with sterilisation, is an Adelaide based (self-funded) organisation, that has been run for many years by cat lover Christine Pearson. She organises through local vets, to get discount vouchers, so that people can get their cat/s spayed or neutered. Phone 0883319471.

“The National Desexing Network of Queensland (www.ndn.org.au) is a not for profit organisation, that provides discount vouchers for dogs and cats, so they can be neutered or spayed at participating vets. Go online and complete an application form. Remember that having a spayed dog, entitles you to discounts on the annual council registration fee and makes for a safer, happier, healthier and cleaner animal. It also helps alleviate the ever present problem, of unwanted litters of puppies, whom end up being dumped or mistreated and dogs fighting, breeding and or straying.

“Many councils now have regular micro-chip days, where your pet (dog or cat) can be microchipped for a flat fee of $10.00. Remember it has become compulsory since June 2018, for all cats and dogs that are not part of a registered breeding program, to be desexed and microchipped. Contact your local council for further details.

“The Adelaide Desexing clinic, is a low cost vet clinic that provides flat rate desexing services for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs and (domesticated) goats and sheep (miniature or small statured) It also provides (basic) vet services such as flea and worm treatment, teeth cleaning, nutrition, nail clipping and other general pet requirements. The phone number is 0882854050 and their address is 604 Port Road, Allenby Gardens.

“Pretty much all Vet clinics in the Elizabeth/Munno Para, Craigmore and or Smithfield area, will allow you to pay your bill off, in instalments (give or take the nature of the accident/illness and or injury and the final bill). These vets also charge considerably less for treatment, (including euthanasia) that vets in wealthier suburbs. The following clinics are listed below; 

Yorketown Road Clinic- 99 Yorketown road Elizabeth- phone: 08 8287 0122

Adelaide Northern Vet Group- 3 Midway Road Elizabeth, phone: 08 8287 4300

VETSPAY is a pay off on time, service that can pay upwards of $2000.00 towards the payment of vet fees. It is set up through participating vets and can be accessed either on the phone or online. Phone 1300-657-984 for further details and,

www.miscota.com.au  is probably the single cheapest online website that I know of, for cheap (non-prescription) vet products, such as flea and worm treatments for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits etc) It also sells other products like pet food, collars and grooming items, Check it out. You can pay for items through PayPal, credit card, or online banking.

Hope this information, helps someone out.

(above) A swamp across the road from the Tea Tree Salvation Army Corps in Modbury. Living outside with nature and being under constant threat from humans creates a mental imprint. Even after living in a house for years, one never forgets the need, while homeless, of finding a safe place to sleep. The mind constantly analyses parks and bushlands for such safe havens. It is a form of P.T.S.D. for those who spent long periods homeless.

Scurvy making a comeback as a disease of the poor

“Leon Byner discussed on his early morning talk back program (Radio 5aa) that Scurvy (Vitamin C Deficiency) has been identified in a number of hospital patients, in both the North and South of Adelaide.
 
“The symptoms of scurvy include skin rashes, loose teeth/bleeding gums, mental confusion, headaches, joint pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia and fatigue. Leon rightly stated that those who have been identified as having this disease, are those people who are poor/unemployed/elderly/homeless, institutionalised and or mentally ill.
 
“What Leon failed to mention is that the reason behind a comeback in Scurvy is simply because this group of people, cannot afford (and or readily access) the food groups needed, to keep this disease at bay (Lemons, Oranges, squash, Pumpkin, parsnips, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, broccoli and Beetroot.)
 
“He also conveniently left out that it is currently cheaper to buy two litres of diet coke than it is to buy the same amount of organic (non-Parmalat additive) milk. (This is the chemical that the Chinese put in their milk to make it look thicker and which is made up of benzene (petrol). Leon also forgot to add that the food that is given out by the various food charities (Oz harvest, Second Bite and Foodbank) is more likely than not, adding to the problem. White bread, white rice, white pasta, and the list goes on and on and on. . .
 
“It is rare for many food charities to think about what they are dishing up for their clients, let alone distribute reasonable amounts of good quality fruit and veg. So my guess is, that there are going to be more cases of Scurvy in the future, rather than less.”

“Love your stuff brother but yer sounding paranoid as all hell with this talk of pharmaceutical trials and Deep state garbage lately. 

“It's a pretty simple equation brother. Homeless people cost the government money. It's easy say 'oh yeah typical bloody greedy government' but that is taxpayers money brother. That's real people who work hard brother that put the money in the coffers. 

“The government has seen it all brother. They've seen a homeless person get housing, the turn around and trash the place, go mental, kick on the drugs and drinking, just to become homeless again. On and on they've seen it brother. 

“So this is the new deal. You want a house brother? You want one given to you when the rest of the world has to work their guts out to get and keep one, well you gotta agree to thsi help that'll hopefully keep ya in the hous so yer not back on the streets costing society an arm and a leg in three months.

“What else the gov gonna do brother? Just keep banging their heads against the wall trying the same old stuff they know don't work? Just keep accept drugos and mentos moving in to properties, trashing them and leaving them? What's the point of that brother? Maybe the help is what'll make it last for some people.

“I guess all the govs and charities and ngos could just shut up shop, stop trying, let the world each other. Maybe they should brother. maybe they should.

“Ain't no great conspiracy brother. Nobody's pulling the strings brother. There are no strings. Just people trying to find a way to stop the drugos and mentos wasting tax payah money that could be spent on something everyone beneifts from instead of a small bunch of selfish ungratefuls.

“Signing off now brother. Stop your mind looking for meaning behind all this. Nothing means nothing man. Just the way it is brother.

Editor: Hmm. May I suggest you study the de-hoarding policies against welfare people that have sprung up simultaneously in most countries across the western world. Who decided in these multiple countries that poor people shouldn’t be allowed to accumulate physical items they consider stored wealth? It was a decision made by a centralised authority that occupies a layer of power in each country and operates as a single multinational central authority.

As for what you say about "...talk of pharmaceutical trials and Deep state garbage...", well, stay tune on that one. And thanks for your input. You made some good points.

(above) Orange Sky Laundry unpaid workers arrive at the Port Adelaide AngliPrison every Sunday from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Despite millions of dollars spent building the new prison, it does not have laundry facilities.

(above) The new AngliPrison on Dale Street, Port Adelaide, also known as "The Arches". Day release prisoners wearing surveillance tags go to the Port Adelaide library where large cameras have been installed to monitor the library as if it is an annex to the prison. One man smashed another man's face into a table in the library. Yet the drug addicts resemble victims of structured unemployment and precursor chemicals imported from China rather than career criminals. The actual criminals are those politicians who facilitate the poisoning of Australian citizens.

Has Dame Louise Casey underestimated the self-perpetuating nature of Adelaide’s homeless industry bureaucracy?

Former dole office employee, Lady Louise Casey, from England said of the Adelaide Zero Project that, “…whether this is gonna work out and if it doesn’t then we’ll stop doing it and we’ll put the money we raised into something else, which is more effective in terms of homelessness.”
 
Lady Louise added that, “I’m really clear as the chair of this thing that we’re gonna see, we’re going to put everything we can into it, but if we can’t then there is no collective value in doing this, then we’ll shut up shop and put the money into something else because that would be the right thing to do…we don’t have a vested interest in just keeping going for keeping going sake.”
 
Is the Lady naïve as to the entrenched nature of Adelaide bureaucrats who live off the drug addiction and homeless industries? Or was she testing the wind?
 
She recounted having attended an Adelaide homeless conference when it was announced that $16 million would go into the Adelaide Zero Project to try and house the 100 or so people living outside in the Adelaide CBD parklands and squats.
 
The audience laughed when a foreigner from another country asked a naïve question. This foreigner wondered if it be simpler to use the $16 million to buy a house for each of the one hundred people living outside.
 
Lady Louise answered the question by saying the homeless people would be replaced. But will they not be replaced anyway? Perhaps the Lady meant that this particular 100 people would not be replaced once the Adelaide Zero Project had gotten through with them.
 
She also said that, “There are too many vested interests in a problem always being there.” This must have cut deep for a few Adelaide homeless industry bureaucrats still retaining a conscience. Ian Cox is one man who concerns himself with the suffering of the social class living outside. Yet he is caught in an evil whirlwind that threatens to blow apart the morality of the Hutt Street Centre.
 
And Lady Louise? She may not have perfect teeth and she may resemble Senator Sarah Hanson-Young in appearance, but she is no fool. She saw the “functional zero homeless” concept as an escape clause inserted by Adelaide bureaucrats allowing them in the future to claim Adelaide homelessness had been reduced to nil while the actual number living in the parks and streets had not decreased at all.

The war against Good Samaritans
From the Night Talker

“Some things to remember that will help you stay out of financial strife/legal grief.

“If you are the person who phones the Metropolitan fire brigade because of an activated fire alarm or signs of smoke, you are the person who will be charged in the event, there is no actual fire. You will also likely be charged, if there is a fire and fire investigators are called in at a later date.
 
“So if you must call the MFS, do so via a public phone box, NEVER give out your contact details or if the operator is insistent that you provide ID details, give them a false name and address and phone number. If you are calling via your mobile phone, make sure that the caller ID mode is switched to private call, BEFORE you ring and don't tell them who you REALLY ARE

“In the same instance, if you are the person who calls for an ambulance in the event of a (suspected) emergency, and SA Ambulance Service cannot get the call out payment fee off of the patient (for whatever reason) and you have provided your name, address and phone number, the invoice will be mailed out to yours truly (LUCKY YOU!) (True) The SA Ambulance Service will argue that you instigated the call out and therefore YOU are responsible for payment at the end of the day.
 
“So follow exactly the same protocol. Give the name and address details of the emergency but NOT your real name, address and phone number.
 
“Just a quick one as well, despite being a front line service for people in life threatening need, the SA Ambulance Service as an organisation are "arsewipes" who will happily bill you, regardless of whatever situation you are in (even if you have ambulance cover) I received a $990.00 dollar invoice from them a few years back DESPITE having ambulance cover. The reason being? They couldn't find my birthdate on the system, and therefore decided to bill me? (Nice) I got the charge reversed, and then promptly cancelled my cover as it had so many exclusions attached to it, it was hardly worth paying for.” 

Good Luck.

(above) When the man and woman at this Elizabeth property died of old age, their heirs left everything intact. This changed when the Housing Trust (SAHA) emptied their houses on the back street. This allowed house breakers to sneak in through the back fence and begin ransacking the house.

Why “multi-disciplinary teams”?
 
The Don Dunstan Foundation is instigating “multi-disciplinary teams” to help the homeless. These operate like a wrestling tag team isolating a single wrestling opponent.
 
The Don Dunstan team targets a homeless person then makes a multi-pronged approach. The team wants the target to give his or her full name, date of birth and then sign on the dotted line.
 
It’s the carrot and stick approach. “Do you want housing?” they might ask. “We can arrange that.” They may offer medical help, accommodation that night in a motel, blankets, food, medication, help with Centrelink, a ride in a car. Or they might threaten a person with an ambulance ride to a mental ward. Or further visits to their campsite, many of them.
 
So how can this be a threat? The rehabilitation program for Adelaide CBD homeless people works at numerous levels. Social workers may contact relatives for a family reunion. Newly housed people will get a big television flashing semi-strobe lights into their brains and surveil them through the secret camera. Psychologists may entice or trick clients into mind control experiments. Doctors will prescribe anti-psychotic, anti-depressant and anti-seizure drugs then painkillers and other drugs to combat the side-effects of those mentioned above.
 
Clients’ housing will be inspected every fortnight as part of a three-year ‘Support Program’. Clients will be encouraged, even pressured to attend socialising courses such as the Walking Wombats, knitting groups, art therapy, etc. Then come the education courses for numeracy, literacy, dealing with power and phone corporations, etc. Not all bad.
 
And what no one will talk about are homeless people who come from powerful backgrounds and know sensitive information. They are ruined and ignored people, but in this era the government is paranoid of its own citizens. This means that some homeless people can expect operatives of the deep state to be analysing everything about them.
 
And this is where the multi-disciplinary teams inspired by the Don Dunstan Foundation enter the equation. Each has a specialist background allowing him or her to put certain legal and medical pressures onto the homeless person. Others will have secret contacts who can apply esoteric pressures.
 
The Red Cross and the Salvation Army have secret sections containing A.S.I.O. operatives who use volunteers and family reunion searches to do their work. The Adelaide Zero Project is no different.  
 
If you think this is fantasy, ask a few questions and carefully observe the responses.

​The Aspire Program propaganda
​is not reality

Whenever homelessness rehabilitation is introduced, the pharmaceutical corporations are not far behind. The “Navigators” at the Hutt Street Centre will push clients onto doctors who will arrange for the newly housed people to be put on prescription drugs. The result will be doped out humans with loopy smiles.
 
Once that happens, doctors tend to ignore deadly illnesses associated with the side-effects, apart from dishing out more drugs. With the formerly homeless person subdued with medication, he or she obviously won’t do much more than watch television or Netflix, this being a desirable effect to reduce interaction with hospitals and law courts, and thus reward private investors who put money into the Aspire program.
 
Another problem for “rehabilitated” homeless people is that student dentists will extract their teeth and replace them with bulky cheapo dentures. These won’t fit so the patients will toss them into a drawer or the rubbish and thus is created a new batch of “toothless tigers”
 
The overall effect on the homeless culture will be to medicalise homelessness and provide rental housing only to those who undergo the Aspire or similar programs with the result of locking out anti-drug homeless people from public housing.
 
The general public will remain ignorant of what is really happening due to the mass media grabbing hold of Hutt Street Centre and Don Dunstan Foundation propaganda showing heartbreaking interviews with formerly homeless people expressing their undying gratitude.
 
What is clear is that the Adelaide Zero Project and the Aspire Program is a major influence on those living outside, but it isn’t all good.

​Free showers north of Adelaide
From the Night Talker

“The BP truck stop/Servo on Port Wakefield Road Burton, has a number of free showers, (several in fact) that can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are located in the Truckie Lounge around the back.
 
“They are locked, but you just need to ask the girls behind the serving counter to unlock a shower door for you (they are all numbered, so just tell the girl, the number on the door). They are meant to be for long distance truck drivers, but the staff are lazy as (especially the overnight ones) so if you tell them your a truckie, they will never actually check as to whether you have come out of a truck or not. The showers are clean, modern, the door locks and the water is hot.....

“The other free shower is at the BP/Servo Truck stop at Port Wakefield. There is a free shower there that is available to use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This shower is not locked and you do not need permission to use it. At night, the front glass doors of the Servo are locked, but you can access by pressing the buzzer. The servo is staffed 24/7. The shower is clean (but basic) the door locks and the water is always hot.”

Apples
 
Sent via the anonymous contact page

“Rotten past couple years for apples up in Adelaide Hills due to hail storm damage.

NOT a single apple on nearby trees.

Homeless people would be hard-pressed to subsist on apples or anything much this past year or two.

Somehow NATURE probably knew of my predicament and put about 10Kg of perfect conditon Royal Gala apples in a bin outside the State Library.

Wont waste 'em on humans though.

These go to the long-time residents of the hills:

Roos currawongs parrots honey birds...

No sense in giving these to the Human species who seems to live in a booze bottle, eat and waste garbage everywhere.

No sense those humans...

No sensitive those humans...”

(above) Drainage pipes near the Tea Tree Salvation Army are tolerable for sleeping in summer, but the wrap around concrete is too cold during winter. And wet. Meanwhile, a thousand government-owned houses in Adelaide lie empty, most with their windows boarded up.

Junction Housing: the real agenda
 
Junction Housing operate in Adelaide’s southern suburbs. It is a not-for-profit organisation, but this is an illusion as each employee depends on Junction Housing making enough money to pay her or his salary. Junction Housing gets its houses and flats ― over a thousand ― from the Housing Trust (South Australian Housing Authority). 

​Junction Housing is reputed to be having trouble attracting “homeless youth”. This has prompted the usual comments that homeless people want to live outside.
 
But the reason may be the fortnightly inspections by Junction Housing ‘Support Workers’. These are called “sniff visits” and disguised as friendly visits. They are compulsory.
 
Junction Housing also discriminates against homeless boys and men. This is determined by government funding as much as staff bigotry.  
 
There is big money in domestic violence. Rehousing a “victim of domestic violence” brings in government cash whereas housing homeless men is less lucrative.
 
The wider agenda is to break up heterosexual relationships. Welfare housing serves this purpose. Men think they are individually targeted by sexist employees, but this is not always the case. The targets are men and women in heterosexual relationships.
 
The Patron of Junction Housing is Robyn Layton, a former lawyer and judge who was married to former Premier John Bannon before they broke up and he married Angela.
 
As a lawyer, Ms Layton also represented Ki Meekins, a childhood sex victim of Ric Marshall and Peter Leith, and the Glandore boys’ home. Ki was not happy with her representation. He thought it was inadequate and half-hearted.  
 
Junction Housing has an agenda and it is not housing. That’s a sideline and merely a vehicle for the actual agenda.

“Today was my monthly visit with my JSA case worker at MADEC which is an anacronym for miserable, arsewipes, devoid of ethics or credibility).
 
“So I get into the office at Kadina, 15 minutes before my ten am appointment, to be confronted by another client, having a very angry conversation with the (slightly backwards, teenage receptionist) at the front counter.
 
“Allegedly her appointment has been rescheduled without her knowledge? Then after some brief conversation, I find she has the same case manager as myself. (A particularly disorganised, lazy, passive aggressive female in her mid 30's, who would be unemployable in any other industry). The reason being [that the appointment had been cancelled was] that case worker S.P. is in a webinar.
 
“Well I pipe up, ‘I really hope the webinar involves some BEST customer service refresher/ training, because S.P. doesn't appear to have any positive attributes in this area?’
 
“The reaction? You'd think I`d walked into the building, kitted out in an explosives vest, holding a detonator, screaming ALLAH ACKBAH!!! (God is great in Arabic).
 
“Every manager (all female by the way) come out of hiding, and diverged onto the front counter, one who appears to have Tourette's, starts shouting at me, in what could only be described as GIBBERISH? I wasn`t sure if she was having some kind of seizure or perhaps she was speaking in tongues?
 
“She asks, if anyone can tell her, who made that comment. I told her, it was someone that just walked into the female toilets. She runs to the toilet with several other managers, whilst I grab my rescheduled appointment off of the slightly dumb, bifocal wearing receptionist, and quickly walk out the door.
 
“As I walked outside to my car, past the CCTV camera that is angled outside opposite the front entrance of MADEC, I casually lifted my index finger and flipped the bird) then smiled and strolled away.

“How do these places continue to operate? Oh, by the way, when I got home this afternoon, I got a letter in the mailbox, (dated 4pm yesterday) stating that my appointment had been cancelled/rescheduled. Nice? (That`s okay you say, they told you) Yep they did. Only problem there, is my appointment at Kadina MADEC, was at 10.00am and I don`t get my mail delivered until 11.30am! NICE ONE MADEC!

(above) Meals on Wheels lock their rubbish bins at Gawler to prevent homeless people from eating food leftover from the day. This is relevant to people north of Adelaide who live in the bush to avoid entrapment by welfare agencies and charities.

(above) This lock is tightly fitted to avoid the contents being extracted with tongs. Homeless people could easily breach it to obtain food cooked that day by Meals on Wheels at Gawler. How would Meals on Wheels respond? Would they call the police?

Meals on Wheels locks their bins
​at night…

From the Night Talker

“In regards locked bins, there is no locked bin that cannot be opened....(e.g. the time consuming way is to unscrew the bolts, that act as pins out of the hinges and lift the bin (lid) up from the rear end (works, but takes a while) the much quicker way, is to just cut through the chain, with a good quality pair of bolt cutters (you didn't hear this from me...…. oh yeah you did?).
 
“As for Meals on Wheels, they can keep their foodstuffs, considering they had to dispatch 14,000 frozen meals to the bin, after the South Australian Health Department, did routine testing and discovered meals contaminated with Listeria. (which is a potentially fatal, form of food poisoning and has also been linked to miscarriage and permanent kidney failure (renal disease) Listeria is the disease that killed a number of people, during the Garibaldi poisoned Salami outbreak in the early 1990's.
 
“So if you want to eat their food go ahead...….I will politely decline. (Just a quick one too, M.O.W. has in the last few years, embarked on a ferocious campaign to rope in as many "work for the dole" recipients as possible to work for them, free of charge (this is in meal preparation and not in delivery- you have to be in with the management, to get this cushy number) (most from the Northern Suburbs and most with chronic offending/long term unemployment, mental health, behavioural, low intellect and hygiene issues) So, it's not difficult to work out, how the meals (may) have become contaminated.

“So? How was your meal? Not feeling queasy are you?”

Self-serving bureaucrats
 
Ms Dot Stagg, (The Stag), is an employee at O.A.R.S. (Offenders’ Aid) in Adelaide. She attends many secret meetings with other bureaucrats. They talk about homelessness and rehabilitation as bureaucrats in these meetings often do.
 
Their meetings achieve nothing, the proof being that homeless people continue to camp across Adelaide while government welfare houses remain empty.
 
Dot Stagg is an obscure character, but was mentioned in a strange student essay apparently written years ago from notes taken by Andrew Melgaard-Lerche. Andrew said, essentially, that Dot was a liar and O.A.R.S. didn’t perform anywhere near to what it claims.

Locked Rubbish Bins
 
From the anonymous contact page

Some places often lock their bins to 

1. prevent the wasteful from driving by and dropping mountains of excess garbage into the large bins

2. prevent the spreading of disease

3. prevent littering of material already placed in the bin into the surrounding area etc.

“Of course, survival in the face of starvation is survival and obeys all the laws of the jungle, so the poor are left with no choice but to get in the bin, or at least make the bin holders regret locking the bins.

“One way to discourage the locking of bins and other receptacles is to stuff little slivers of cardboard, paper or matchsticks into the keyhole of the locks chained or welded to the bin or bin lid.

TECHNIQUE:

“Just estimate or test the depth of the keyhole with a matchstick or other item, then insert the matchstick partially into the keyhole, break the matchstick flush with the keyhole opening, and use the remaining matchstick on the outside to fully push the inserted piece of matchstick further into the keyhole, where it becomes much more difficult to withdraw with tweezers or pins etc.

“Makes it fair for all this way :

“If the starving poor are prevented from getting in the bin, then so also are the big fat human pigs prevented from getting in the bin.

“How many human pigs can afford to replace expensive locks ($50+) or risk their expensive bolt cutters ($200+) being damaged from super hardened lock shanks ?

“Human pigs soon learn to leave waste bins unlocked with free and open access to all.

“Remember : WASTE IS A CRIME

“By preventing waste, by salvaging reusing etc, we are the REAL CRIMESTOPPERS, the legitimate ones, the vigilante ones so necessary to prevent society from descending into the depths of total overflowing garbage hell epidemics etc.”

How speculative investors can make money from the Aspire Program

It isn’t big money. Perhaps 8.5% if you’re lucky with an initial 2% offering. If the Aspire program collapses, you could even lose half your investment. It all depends on homeless people on the program staying out of jail and hospitals, and taking fewer trips in the back of police and ambulance vehicles.
 
It is the brainchild of New York real estate agent, Rosanne Haggerty. Call her anything, but also call her smart. And Ian Cox of the Hutt Street Centre. He’s no fool.
 
The investor will buy a “Social Impact Bond” that will be spent hiring Aspire Program “Navigators”. These “Navigators” will rope in 600 homeless people over the next four years and place them in accommodation then “support” each for three years after placement.
 
The initial homeless participants in the program are described as 63% male; 9% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders; 9% taken away from parents as children; 57% druggies; 35% attacked since becoming homeless;  60% without meaningful activities in their life aside from surviving day to day.
 
However, the “homeless” people won’t necessarily be living in tents in the Adelaide CBD parklands, but will include those in rooming houses, caravan parks and living in their cars.
 
The support involves training in life and work skills aimed mostly at the unpaid job market, also known as “volunteering”. Support also invovles emotional, medical and coercive support, and medication compliance.
 
The “Navigators” will require each homeless person on the Aspire Program to a sign privacy waiver allowing them to monitor each participant’s life at every level where there will be interaction with any agency that costs money for the government.
 
After a period of time, if a particpant’s cost to the government has decreased since going onto the Aspire Program, then the private investors will receive a share of the savings.
 
It is expected the “disengagement” rate with hospitals, courts, police, etc. will be 33% though in the initial stages of the program, this has been just 4%.
 
It’s a bold initiative, but for those experienced in the homeless and unemployment cultures it reeks of politicians of another era referring to “more help for the unemployed” while there was not any “help” except for the thousands of bureaucrats hired to put the underclass through humiliating and useless courses. And the positive impact of the Aspire Program so far has been the hiring of 18 new employees at the Hutt Street Centre.
 
For those wanting another view, there are plenty of positive stories on the Hutt Street Centre about people being helped via the Aspire Program. And this is part of the whole truth, also. Some do benefit.

The Monster Brothers visit People’s Choice credit union in Flinders Street, Adelaide

“These two brothers know where to get a free coffee. They’ll come into the coffee machine, make a coffee for themselves, make a complete mess of the coffee machine, spill it all over the floor and, no joke, the credit union lay out two Advertisers every day so people can go there and sit at the table and read the paper.
 
“But after they’ve [the Monster Brothers] got their coffee and made a slop and mess everywhere and spilled it on the floor, they’ll go over and grab the Advertisers. One each.
 
“On the way out the door, and they’re trying to sort of somehow hold the paper and also slop the coffee and there’s coffee spilt all the way outside. They’ll then go outside on the footpath, sit there, and if they spill the coffee it runs down the footpath and there’s people walking through coffee and Christ knows what, and when they’re finished they’ll just stand up, leave the cups there, leave the paper there and if it happens to be windy the paper starts to get torn apart and it blows all over Gawler Place. The coffee cups if they’ve still got coffee in them, the wind will blow them over and they just walk away and leave everything.
 
“I thought what a mob, a pair of pigs and they seem to do this quite regular.
 
“From there it’s just a shortcut to the Pilgrim Lounge and they’ll get a free coffee there and pick up a paper and start all over again.

They give away free fruit and vegetables once a month. The establishment is patronised by the iconic Horse Trader Steve.

On the Street
 
An elderly man at the Cos We Care soup kitchen in Elizabeth said that homeless clients of Max Employment at Salisbury ask about showers, but that there aren’t any showers for homeless people in Salisbury or Elizabeth.
 
Charities have removed or not installed showers to avoid attracting homeless people.

BaptistCareSA hides the financial figures for the WestCare complex in Wright Street.

Kadina library and other libraries have installed new surveillance cameras. What the library employees don’t say is that any suspicious images caught on the cameras are sent directly to the police. Library staff play no role except alerting the police. They have surrendered control over their own space to a hidden external authority.
 
This is especially true at the Port Adelaide library that has become an annex of Offenders Aid (O.A.R.S.). The library is also incrementally getting rid of its books resulting in all knowledge accessed electronically is monitored and recorded.
 
*
 
A reader says the old people getting evicted from the Anglicare retirement units in Elizabeth should not trust the removalists provided by Anglicare. The reader says these are contracted removalists who are criminals that steal your valuables.
 
*
 
The trend of TV stations is to use a woman reporter and camera operator to lure a target into pushing her away then using that to have a stronger male reporter grab the target under the guise of restraining him or her.
 
*
 
Homeless people are now living in abandoned railway tunnels and war bunkers while government welfare houses remain empty and salaried bureaucrats like those in ShelterSA prepare expensive and useless reports than practically no one reads.
 
Note: The locations of these underground residences are kept secret to prevent intrusions from authority representatives such as Street to Home.
 
*
 
Lady Louise Casey of the Adelaide Zero Project said that some Adelaide charities are extenuating the problem of homelessness by making it more attractive to live outside in the Adelaide CBD.
 
This begs the question whether she or others have given the ultimatum to Ian Cox of the Hutt Street Centre about getting with the project or be relegated to the outer and lose some of their funding.

Pam and the R.S.P.C.A.
From the Night Talker

“In response to RSPCA target the lower classes and are sneaking around Pam.

“Firstly, I concur that you are partially correct. The RSPCA do target the so called lower classes, this however is because the majority of notifications they receive are from the most-disadvantaged suburbs (e.g. in the 2017-2018 financial year, The Playford Council area, made up 85% of all serious animal abuse, dog bite and or neglect notifications (with these notifications coming from the general Public, charities and Government agencies such as Councils, Child Protection, NDIA, SA Water and SA Power Network Staff.

“In regards Pam herself. I know of her and her long standing issues, and there is no way on God's green earth, that she is capable of looking after 18 cats! This is not love for animals, this crosses over into "Animal Hoarding territory." You would not give an eight year old child the responsibility of looking after so many animals, but that is about the mentality level of Pam (and this is not her fault, it was simply the card that life dealt her) I hope for the animals sakes, they are all removed and an order is issued against her, in regards not being allowed to own any further animals. Both her and her (whacko) partner (quazi-on again, off again) carer, need to be supervised, in order they do not continue to animal hoard. This may seem cruel, but neither of these persons have the best interests of these animals at heart.
 
“As for persons having no "money" I have worked with clients who will happily pay $130.00 plus for a carton of cigarettes without batting an eyelid, drive around in large v8 commodores, that use 22 litres of petrol per hundred kilometres, have Foxtel installed in their residences, have x boxes and play stations for each of their children, but become virtually apoplexic, if you demand they spend $90.00 at the vet, having their "tom cat" neutered. So, no I do not have a lot of sympathy for people like Pam.
 
“If she is receiving both carers benefit and allowance plus her Disability pension, plus rent assistance plus pharmaceutical and telephone/internet allowance, she would be receiving close around $1100,00 a fortnight. Possibly more if she is on an NDIS plan and or also has heating/cooling allowance and the bowel and bladder yearly payment and I would put a bet on the fact, that little to nothing is spent on the animals she currently has in her residence. (The RSPCA do not simply turn up to your house to investigate, because the inspector is "bored." They are paid employees and any investigation, costs money).
 
“Like I said earlier, I hope the animals are all removed and find more suitable homes.

Fred’s Van Gawler:
​D Team at its best

Kate’s friends and extended family sat at the other end of the rotunda. Other than that, it seemed no one else would arrive until Max the Veteran plonked his director’s chair next to me then unfolded the attached table and drink holder. He said he’d had chairs like mine, but sawed them up and used the steel legs to make wind chimes that he sold at the Gawler markets.
 
Kate’s crowd moved over to us. A man with them said he was buying a house to safeguard his son from ever being homeless. He said he’d been homeless off and on for 16 years since the age of 15.
 
There were fifteen of us on this Thursday evening before Easter. This included the genial alcoholic and his old dog. Some people stay kind through good and bad health. He is one of them.
 
Diane, Graham from Salisbury, Stumpy’s entourage and the hospital crowd weren’t there. The Horse Trainer Lady arrived late. Another diner pointed out Pat to me. She was with the D team and wore a floral shirt. He said she appeared grumpy, but made sure everything ran smoothly and fairly. He said she was a quality woman. Another Pat, 83, approached from across Pioneer Park. She is also high quality and ensures that no one is left out from fear or whatever. You cannot buy quality involvement such as this.
 
The “D” team, also known as the Dream Team, pulled up next to the Rotunda. They exuded a happiness that was evident in the white light around their heads. They served fresh pies and pasties from the Gawler South bakery plus pasta bake, minestrone, ham and cheese sandwiches, tea, coffee, Milo, Pepsi Max, unlimited pastries and buns baked that day, bags of good apples, pears, lemons, oranges, Paris Creek organic quark and muesli bars. Everything was fresh. We were overwhelmed. Max the Veteran got about 10 kilos. He kept offering what he picked up to others, but everyone was loaded.

The Night Talker’s stern advice
​to the Piano Player

“Piano Player Wayne, descends into black hole of the soul;

“If PPW does not adopt a VLCD (very low calorie diet) regular exercise and get his diabetes under control, he will move from the black hole of the soul, to the black hole in the ground (and or the big, black crematorium (well I guess on a positive note, there is some choice here).
 
“Seriously? Stop crying, and pull yourself together! Throw the pastries and the coke and the lollies out the window and work out a daily meal plan that isn't going to poison you, sign up for classes in hydrotherapy exercise, (as a matter of urgency) and with any luck, the surgeons won't have to cut off your other leg, or other body parts.
 
“Keep up your current lifestyle and you won't live to see 50. The choice is yours?”

Big jump in Adelaide
​ homeless statistics

The Adelaide Zero Project reports that the number of people who are known to be sleeping rough in the inner city has risen from 152 to 167 over the past month.
 
This is despite millions of dollars sunk into the Aspire Program at the Hutt Street Centre that has created 18 new paid jobs, but created no extra housing for homeless people.
 
It is also despite nearly every Housing Trust tenant being able to identity long term empty Trust houses on their street or nearly.
 
And while this happens, we hear not a word of protest from salaried ShelterSA executive, Dr Alice Clark, about the number of Housing Trust and Community Housing flats and houses being left empty for months, even years.
 
There is big money in the homeless industry and it is connected to the crystal methamphetamine industry and this is sanctioned by the highest authorities in the Australian Deep State to cripple their own citizens.

Yet one could speculate if these recent statistics are accurate. They have risen sharply over the last two monthly periods. The first was announced a week after Adelaide Zero Project supporter and Adelaide City Councillor Alexander Hyde called for an extra $1.3 million funding for the Adelaide Zero Project to prevent “mission fatigue”.
 
It is a shame the Adelaide Zero Project does not lay open the labyrinth of its financial records and show where all the millions have gone to date. And who precisely got it and what services were supplied to the homeless.

Homeless statistics and underwear: who can we believe?

It is reported on the Adelaide Zero Project dashboard that there are 152 people “sleeping rough” in the inner city area. However, a Hutt Street Centre insider ― and thanks for responding to our request for information ― says the number of “rough sleepers” on their books is about two dozen. But that this latter figure is not the real amount because those living outside and having begun the Aspire program are classed as living at the address with whatever agency is “supporting” them.
 
Those in Adelaide’s soup kitchen scene note that some of the more dangerous or rougher clients have disappeared, either into the Aspire program or taken away to be used in pharmaceutical experiments.
 
Something is definitely happening and any homeless person that has been “helped” has noticed how weird are the support programs. They have multiple purposes, both visible and invisible.
 
And then we come to the underwear gathered at last year’s ‘Walk a mile in my boots’ fundraising and awareness campaign. Radio station 5AA parked their broadcasting vans in various locations collecting underwear for the homeless. It was said that $20,000 worth of underwear for men and women was collected. All new stuff, most of it decent quality. But where did it go? It is difficult to find anyone in the homeless scene who has gotten free underwear over the past nine months.
 
Our Hutt Street Centre insider said much of the “undies, singlets, socks and bra’s donated to the Hutt Street Centre were given out to staff and long term volunteers,” or stockpiled at the Centre.

Vic Stretcher and Susi Soza

David Pearson was happy to announce the release of the final reports of Vic Stretcher and Susi Soza of the Thinkers-in-Residence program.
 
Susi has been connected with the University of Texas and the Dell Social Innovation Challenge, the latter sponsored by the Dell computer corporation.
 
Vic is a professor at the University of Michigan “creating new solutions that operate at the intersection of the science of behaviour change and advanced technology” with a company now owned by Johnson and Johnson.
 
These allegiances between academics and corporations are the phenomena that dismayed Julian Assange when he studied science at university and discovered that the scientists he’d admired were beholden to corporate interests.
 
But how do Vic and Susi complement another Thinker-in-Residence, New York real estate agent Rosanne Haggerty? They’re all part of the Don Dunstan Foundation’s role in the strategy to re-engineer humanity. They’ll help slide humanity into its barcoded, surveilled and desexed future. And perhaps ‘The Big Cull’.
 
This brings us to the Adelaide Zero Project. Have you noticed that a dozen of the rougher druggies have disappeared from Adelaide CBD soup kitchens? Just gone, without a word.
 
They’ve been grabbed by those associated with the ‘Navigators’ operating out of the Hutt Street Centre and other homeless centres. They were vulnerable. Even the other homeless were glad to see them go.
 
And this is how the subjugation process operates: the first experimental subjects are those most vulnerable and who no one will care about their disappearance. How many with power in the homeless industry really care about brain damaged drug addicts? The addicts themselves have been lured with promises and threats and will be used in an experiment to sedate and pacify society’s unruliest citizens. 
 
The rest of us are also part of this experiment. The social engineers will carefully observe public reaction to the disappearances then reappearance of modified individuals. When there is little reaction, they will move up the social chain.
 
This will sound outlandish to many readers, but observe how you are already being manipulated via sedation, barcoding and desexing. You are mind controlled via electro-magnetism, colours and flashing lights, fines, prescribed and illegal drugs. And it is sanctioned and effected by people you will never meet.

Piano Player Wayne descends into the dark night of the soul

Wayne slumps on his bed in the Hampstead rehabilitation centre. The blinds are drawn. He’s gained at least thirty kilograms despite his leg being sawed off below the knee.
 
He says the stuffing has been knocked out of him and he can no longer laugh. He says he has spent the last four weeks sitting in his room crying. “I don’t feel life is worth living,” he says, then adds that if his arms were strong enough to move his wheelchair, he’d go out onto Hampstead Road and wait for a truck.
 
The remnant of his left leg is bound tightly in three layers of sock to compress it in preparation for a prosthetic leg. His problem arose from diabetes, possibly a side-effect from other medication. A diabetic-induced infection in his heel rose up his leg and threatened his life so a surgeon pulled out a saw. Wayne tells the story as he eats a pasty and drinks a bottle of Coke.
 
Wayne says that this most recent health problem has shown him who his real friends are in the Salvation Army. He also says that four out of five nurses at the Hampstead centre are excellent while the others are “animals”.  “This place is worse than ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’”, he adds.
 
He wants to go back to his own bed, his cat and his TV. Upon release he’ll be moving into a new apartment in the Norwood area, on the ground floor.
 
To get a new leg he must score enough “Hampstead Points”, which along with rehabilitation might cost $75,000. One test requires him to stand on his good leg for seven minutes. No point in giving him a prosthetic leg if he cannot stand up. But Wayne is suspicious. “I feel like I’m being railroaded,” he says, without elaborating.
 
Piano Player Wayne’s phone rings. It’s a political contact and Wayne switches to his professional voice. He reels off predictions and preference distributions and predicts the demise of certain Senators in favour of One Nation. All seems back to normal, for the moment. But when the call ends, 45-year-old Wayne resumes his crying.

The nasty fundraising techniques of the South Australian Red Cross 

The Adelaide Red Cross woman in the red shirt is not offering charity.  She bangs on our doors like the police making an arrest. One door opens. It is that of our 88-year-old blind neighbour.
 
Our blind neighbour’s interrogator is a large Latin American woman who delivers a loud five-minute barrage of sales pitch. Our 88-year-old neighbour resists then visibly relents and says she has some coins. The Red Cross collector isn’t fooled by this.
 
She wants the big stuff, more money than our neighbour has in the house. She wants bank details and a signature on a prepared consent form. It will allow the Red Cross to extract automatic monthly withdrawals from the blind woman’s pensioner account. The money will help the work of the Red Cross, the collector says, but omits the fact that the first one-hundred dollars goes to her and for administrative costs of the Red Cross fundraising unit. No one is working for free.
 
Meanwhile, her male English accomplice has made himself at home on the steps of Bryn Hardiman’s empty unit, casually watching his colleague press home for a signature. Bryn was killed earlier this year while crossing Midway Road. The English collector returns to his extraction routine and thumps on the front and back door of another unit. When the tenant opens the back door, the English collector asks which units have tenants and which are empty.  
 
These Red Cross collectors show none of the deference given when strangers go onto private property. Why should they? They saw the large metal sign at the front of our units with Anglicare’s phone number emblazoned in large letters. This is to urge neighbours and strangers to report anything unusual happening in our units as if we’re a bunch of criminals on home detention. And we were, sort of, when Anglicare secretly placed two sexual offenders amongst us, without our knowledge or consent.
 
This is the savage nature of charity.

Shortage of the multi-virus influenza vaccination

From the Night Talker

“The South Australian Department of Health Website, (www.sahealth.gov.au) states that their is currently a serious shortage of available influenza vaccine, for this financial year (2019) (This is the vaccine for multiple strain Influenza (Cytomegaly Virus) not to be confused with the simple, single strain, flu virus vaccine, that is currently available at Chemist Warehouse for a flat rate, $19.00)

“The website states, that because of this shortage (the reason given for the actual shortage is unclear) that medical practitioners) should only prescribe (free of charge) to Indigenous adults, pregnant woman and those persons over age 65 or with severe and chronic (and or life shortening diseases).
 
“It fails to leave out, that any (adult) can be vaccinated if they choose to pay between $67.00 and $150.00 for the shot. Nice, once again, we see the growing trend of a two tiered health system.
 
“Further evidence of this, can be seen in the recently announced news that (registered nurses) working in public hospitals, have been given the power to turn anyone away, anyone who presents to the casualty department, in a non-life threatening manner.
 
“The reasons for this is that according to SA Health, most persons who 'walk" in for assessment, would be better dealt with, if they are sent away to bulk billing G.P. clinics (like that grotty establishment on Philip Highway [Elizabeth], that doubles as a methadone clinic) and or to be assisted by local charities (such as the case of the older woman with loose bowels, who spent all day outside of the LMH, after being refused treatment, because she was not in possession of either a health care card or Medicare card,
before being picked up by a Salvation Army Officer from Kinkaid Ave [Elizabeth East, Fi and Dale Allan] who took her to a chemist to buy medication.
 
“One reader suggested that you bypass this mentality by arriving in an ambulance. There is only one problem with that, unless you have top level ambulance cover (that covers return trips to home as well-most trips in an ambulance are only one way- going home is not covered) a single trip in an ambulance will set you back anything up to $2000.00 (or more, depending on where you live and what hospital you are taken too) and for most persons, this is well out of reach of what they can afford.
 
“Oh. and let’s not forget that in some country towns or more remote locations, there is not even any available ambulance service, as volunteers are either not available or are no longer volunteering their time, free of charge.

“P.S. If you have top level (GOLD) hospital cover, you will not be turned away, no matter how "trivial" your issue may be.

“Food for thought.”

Salisbury Fred’s Van
 
Sharka Bryant has returned. She has slowly become more involved with Fred’s Van over the years as the meals have improved, partly thanks to her influence. She was the Liberal candidate at the last state election. She drives a tiny car and lives in a modest house and works for a living.
 
Greg talked more about his life. He got a $300,000 payout when he was replaced by robots at the Ford vehicle factor in Geelong. He also owned his own house and had a “good woman”.
 
He lived a quality life for ten years during which he bought six brand new cars. Then the money was gone. The house was gone. His woman was gone. He moved to Adelaide and lives in a rooming house and uses Orange Sky Laundry. He’s modest and speaks quietly, but retains that watchful alertness of a car factor foreman. A high quality human.
 
MS Jason said his new mobility scooter has given him no end of trouble. It cost a fortune and is less than a year old. It was purchased for him by N.D.I.S.
 
That huge man than had his arm in a cast has been looking at me suspiciously when I look at his young girlfriend. Whenever anyone looks at her, she runs and tells him the story. His arms and fists are huge like an ordinary person’s legs.
 
The truck driver arrived with his huge family. His hand was bandaged after an accident on the truck resulted in the end of his right thumb being cut off. His employer didn’t have Work Cover so there will be a legal battle.
 
Mr and Mrs Maranella bought ten quality pizzas, six with meat and four without. That’s a big weekly donation for a family shop at the end of John Street. It’s the one with Buffalo and Maranella written above the front door and is located where John Street meets the Salisbury railway station.
 
Toan, Niem and David operated the coffee cart, but everything was so rushed I didn’t get a chance to grab a cup. They also packed up the chairs after the meal. They moved the chairs and tables quietly, something the other volunteers should emulate.
 
The meal included top quality Maranella pizzas, (not Dominos or Pizza Hutt), pasta bake, crumbed beef, meat pies, pasta salad, fresh salad, good ice-cream, fruit mince pies heated, coffee, tea and cold Milo.
 
The takeaway food was rubbish and not worth commenting upon. The urinal was unblocked after three weeks of being blocked. It’s a beautiful building apart from the Illuminati surveillance cameras.

Jesus of Dublin
 
The man known as the Jesus of Dublin is back on the road, south of Port Wakefield. “People stop and give him food and money and rides. He offers blessings. He is very humble,” reports the Night Talker.
 
His face and teeth are also smashed up then repaired. He got hit by a car. Many appreciate their local Jesus. The homeless adventurers in the area say he is the new Messiah.
 
We live in a savage society and in the midst walks this man.

​He must be protected from the Street-to-Home operatives who will try to medicate him on psychiatric drugs and turn him into a zombie. And with them we see the faces of evil.

Train Wreck pulls a wheeled suitcase around Adelaide. Rumour has it that he carries pictures of trains too valuable to leave unguarded in his Housing Trust unit. He used to carry a bag, but this ex-public servant’s health has deteriorated and he can no longer carry anything on his shoulder. But he still calls the Adelaide Casino home.

Nicky the Snake knocked back the offer of a Housing Trust unit in Prospect. He said it was too far from Fred’s Van in the city.

Salt Church Gawler
 
Sixty or seventy people queued around the cloth covered tables in the Salt Church. Two old men had gone to the free food days at the Gospel City Church, but defected due to decreasing amounts and the bread being too old.
 
One said he figured one of the Salt Church tables covered by cloths contained frozen meat. The café tables were taken up with clients drinking free instant coffee. Salt Church believers placed themselves amongst the crowd.
 
Us clients were in a shocking state. Nearly everyone was over forty. Most of the women were obese or morbidly obese. Quite a few men were also fat.
 
One female client raised her eyebrows when Liz and Carol from Salt Church removed baked goods from under the cloth before the clients were given access. Were they pilfering the best stuff? They took tiny amounts from a heap the church later couldn’t get rid of.  
 
When the cloths were removed from the tables there was a certain disappointment. Most tables were covered old bread with some good pastries. But it was high kilojoule, low fibre, denatured food. Very little fruit and vegetables and no frozen meat.
 
There was a box of Sensodyne “Gentle Whitening” toothpaste. Same stuff that Faith Works gave away at Carisbrooke Park. There was one can of soft drink for each person, but the Church woman wouldn’t give me one until I asked. She handed it to me as she smiled at the next person.
 
Within 18 minutes, nearly everyone had gone. They understood the etiquette. Grab and leave. Twenty of us stayed to talk for another ten minutes. I was about to have a coffee, but the paper cups and milk had disappeared. Church people turned away as I sat at a long table. It was time to leave. No one said goodbye and I didn’t farewell them.

A welfare insider said that patients presenting with flu symptoms at Adelaide hospitals are told to come back in an ambulance when their symptoms got worse.
 
Returning in an ambulance meant they would be checked by the paramedics, which boosted their chance of being admitted.
 
The insider added that hospitals will admit those with private medical insurance with lesser symptoms than those without insurance. This is because the government pays the hospital extra for patients with insurance.

Sickening beating
​at Gawler Fred’s Van

The family and extended friends sat at the picnic table at other end of the park. The genial Stumpy’s friends sat at the table near the tree. Stumpy said the doctor had given him a moonboot to put on the foot from where his toes were amputated. But the Moonboot unbalanced his walking so stumpy asked for two moonboots. The answer was, “No,” so Stumpy threw away the moonboot and used a normal shoe on the bad foot.
 
The woman with the golden hair nearly to her waist arrived with her two kids. She sat on the edge of a ramp smoking a cigarette while her son, 9, and daughter, 8, ran around with a four-wheeled scooter. They laughed happily and shared the scooter without competition. They roamed away then came back every few minutes to sit with their mother.
 
Laughter and shouts came from the Tae Kwon Do kids as young as ten getting out of cars and rushing into the hall across the street.
 
Thirty-four people gathered as C Team arrived in the St Vincent de Paul van along with Pat, the 83-year-old concierge. They unloaded the tables and food into the Lion’s Club Rotunda. The food included pasta bake, excellent meat pies from Gawler South Bakery, sandwiches using bread that smelt of mould, cakes and yoghourt, coffee in paper cups and a bag of limes.
 
There weren’t any Aboriginals present. Everyone was ultra-polite, fearing a repetition of the previous week. Two Aboriginal women had beaten a white woman to the point that observers thought she was dead. A Tae Kwon Do instructor had run across the street, but instead of delivering a death blow, grabbed one attacking woman by the feet and pulled her off the white woman. Others took video footage. Someone yelled that the Tae Kwon Do instructor was a racist. Most commended him. Four police vehicles arrived and the two attackers were taken away. Ambulance paramedics dressed the injured woman’s head.
 
This week was subdued and no one lingered after the meal.

Spy cameras on the old
 
Scott Sterling is from British Care Protect. It’s a surveillance business. He holds an Australian flag as he promotes the introduction of surveillance cameras in the bedrooms of old people in Adelaide nursing homes. Scott says the cameras will “increase bathing experiences” and that they would keep “dignity intact” and were “not spy cameras”. They will operate 24/7.
 
Stewart Johnson was the whistleblower on the Oakden government dementia unit abuse scandal. He wholeheartedly agrees with surveillance cameras operating 24/7.
 
South Australian Legislative Council MP, Frank Pangalo, says he’ll introduce a bill to allow the cameras to be installed. Surveillance has been Frank’s career in the media. That’s all he knows.
 
Leon Byner of radio station 5AA is going along for the ride. Whatever his person opinion, he’ll promote intimate surveillance of the old. The 5AA owners will make heaps from promoting the cameras as they did with the Care Alert monitors. Poor, sad, Leon. His ideals have been twisted into an about turn.
 
And that useful fool, Stewart Johnson. He alerted the population of abuse of the elderly, but has become a cheerleader of another kind of abuse.

The Gate Keepers
 
In previous decades, when homeless people wanted accommodation they would visit or call the agencies and organisations that rented housing.
 
Then came “Social Inclusion” with David Waterford and Monsignor David Cappo and the changed ideology of not letting people living outside go where they wanted, but restricting their options to one or two places. For example, men over 25 phoning the Generic Homelessness Gateway are told to go to the St Vincent de Paul hostel at Whitmore Square. That’s it.
 
The hostel is occupied by raging addicts fresh from Salvo detox, or prison and they are frequently sick. You can stand in Whitmore Square in the morning and hear them coughing their lungs out. It is a TB risk zone as well.
 
So when the welfare organisations promote the “Gateway”, they actually meaning the Gate Keeper, the restrictor.
 
Deception and lies are the order of the day in homeless housing. It must be terrible for those who sought careers in the homeless industry with the intention of helping people. Little by little, their work of benevolence has been twisted around into the opposite direction.

They collected names and birth dates so as to merge each person's multiple agency files into a single psycho-social profile. This information allowed multi-disciplinary teams to target the vulnerability of each homeless person. Some teams have the power to detain individuals on "mental health" grounds. Notice that nearly all those in the photo are white females while most homeless people are men who are white or Aboriginal.

Hutt Street Centre hired 18 new employees to rehabilitate homeless people

Business was booming for the Hutt Street Centre last year. On page 5 of their 2017/2018 Annual Report, it is stated that they hired 18 new salaried employees to monitor homeless people either wanting to sleep under a roof or already renting.
 
“The Hutt St Centre staff group and related expenses have increased as a result of our new Aspire Program which commenced on 1 July 2017, employing an additional 18 new frontline personnel to this Program.”
 
The Adelaide Zero Project says there are 151 homeless people in the inner city area though a source inside the Hutt Street Centre says their homeless client base is a tiny fraction of this number.

And despite all these new employees, the Hutt Street Centre has not replaced the water tap that they removed from the front of the building.

Ingle Farm Salvation Army free food
 
Inside, a small man in a red Salvo shirt rushed up to me where I was distributing 25-page leaflets on where to get free food. I pushed one towards him. He grabbed it quickly and looked through, saying that I’d missed many of the Army Corps.
 
We talked about free food being openly available or requiring an interview. He said, “It’s a paper war,” then gave me a ticket number for the free food.
 
There were a few regulars from Salsibury Fred’s Van, but I’d never seen any of the others at soup kitchens or free food events. It was very orderly, nothing like the Elizabeth East Salvo free food events held every Friday morning.
 
I was number 57, the second last person in the queue, but there was still a lot left, mostly fruit, vegetables, pastries and bread. Very little junk food, but also no pantry items as with the less regular Tea Tree Corps free food days.

Re: Heaters [from the Night Talker]

“Just use a full-size plastic sheet or tarp between two heavy wool blankets and body heat.

If rain, then cover all this with extra large tarp to keep entire outfit dry. Perhaps use angle or slope to shed heavy rainfall away from sleeper.

If wind, then tie or weight down corners of tarp(s), especially through any provided eyelets.

P.S. All this does not breathe so must aerate to keep dry and avoid suffocation.”

Who is Bonnie Keates?
 
Bonnie Keates has attended many secret influential government housing conferences as a representative of Shelter SA.

Shelter SA is a government-funded peak housing advice bureaucracy with offices in Carrington Street, Adelaide. ShelterSA advises the government on welfare housing.
Bonnie Keates has been associated with the Greens political party. She is now a paid employee of the South Australian branch of the party in the position of Media And Communications Officer, basically, as a political spin doctor.

The Greens’ housing policy has long been a call for more public welfare housing for women, LGBTI and people of colour (non-whites). One cannot fault this policy, on its surface. This has also been, essentially, the policy of ShelterSA.

But with a declining public housing stock, this means less housing for white men despite this group representing the majority of Adelaide people living outside and homeless. And with housing been allocated preferentially to women, LGBTI and people of colour, this means even less housing for the primary homeless group as a whole.

ShelterSA Executive Director, Dr Alice Clark, has downplayed the thousand Housing Trust and Community Houses that lie vacant at any one time. Nor has she seen fit to comment that white men have borne the brunt of the housing crisis along with elderly white women and Aboriginal people.

Has Greens party influence been the reason ShelterSA has downplayed the housing crisis for white men and elderly white women. And is it responsible for ShelterSA backing the expensive Adelaide Zero Project program of socially engineering homeless people rather than building new houses and apartments for them?

Neeta robbed
 
Neeta’s keys were sitting in the lock of the open door of her Queenstown Housing Trust house. The screen door was unlocked. It was dark and she was in the kitchen when she heard an unusual sound.

She discovered a man inside her lounge room. She walked towards him and he pushed her to the floor. He mumbled something. He took her handbag and an Easter egg and left. He missed Neeta’s keys in the door. She pressed her safety alert gadget around her neck. 
 
The police interviewed her in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Neeta said to the police officer, “If this didn’t happen I wouldn’t have met you.” This got a laugh. The doctor told Neeta she was okay and sent her home.
 
Neeta later said she hoped the burglar liked the Easter egg. “I hope he chokes on it,” I said. She responded by saying that if she thought like that she would be the same as him. “I should have asked him if he wanted a cup of coffee.”
 
Neeta is 68 next month and can barely walk. She often needs help getting up from a chair. She has evolved from a childhood of abandonment to an older woman with humour and forgiveness. She is a valuable contributor to the Cottage Kitchen, Chat and Chew in Port Adelaide and occasionally, Nanna’s Free Food Basket in Semaphore South.

Survival is the ultimate game
 From The Night Talker
 
“I went scrounging at the bins back of…[two northern suburbs supermarkets]…in broad daylight again. Nobody said nix. Ijust filled up my shopping bags and left.
 
“Lots of eggs. Tried not to touch. [During Salmonella outbreak]. Got cheeze, milk, scone mix, jelly crystals, detergent and a packet of slightly soiled cotton tea towels.
 
“Packs are a bit scrunched up, but nothing pierced or leaking or out-of-date. Lots of vegies as well and a pack of still frozen chicken pieces.
 
“Survival is the ultimate game.”

​Nanna’s free food basket

There weren’t any salt and pepper shakers on the tables. Nor any vinegar or tomato sauce. These are cheap items and easy to refill.The meal was Chicken Cacciatore on white rice preceded by pumpkin soup and ended with ice cream and jelly. No one complained, which was a good sign.

Tables placed outside are reducing pressure on the dining room, but the queue is always long and service from the kitchen slightly slow.

An Indian social worker student who could barely speak English invited us to a friendship gathering the following day. How could she have gained entry to a university without being able to speak understandable English? Money? Diversity rulings? Talent?

And she must have thought we were idiots. That’s welfare. Bureaucrats treat everyone at the lowest common denominator of capacity. That helps dumb down the clientele and maintains a good supply of people “needing help”.  It resembles a stage play and we’re playing our roles of stupidity that are dropped when we leave the building. These social engineering intruders should stay away from Nanna’s Free Food Kitchen. And Nanna should change the name to something more dignified.

Barb didn’t help clear the tables. She had been billed as a guest who on a previous visit had decided to help then got angry at us for not returning dishes to the kitchen, which was not expected of us, anyway. But she wasn’t a guest. She is a Council employee involved in a social engineering project at the Bower Cottages and who decided to partake in the free meal then got nasty with us. The Port Adelaide Enfield Council employs a number of these bitter elderly second wave feminists. They were tricked: it wasn’t liberation, but another form of slavery.

Bronwyn has told the volunteers not to laugh at us because of our peculiar ways. She says it isn’t our fault we turned out the way we did. The volunteer staff are becoming more professional week by week.

Bronwyn also rotates volunteers to prevent anyone becoming stressed. For example, front of house servers stressing out are relegated to the kitchen. Volunteers are also told not to swear or use crude words and one was dismissed for this.

Numbers of guests for both the free meal, the one-dollar donation free vegetables and the Food Bank shop have increased as he weather has cooled down. And the quality improved.

Bronwyn plans to serve free meals at the Freemasons’ Hall in Port Adelaide in early May. This is a go-ahead organisation.

​On the Street
 
Bec from Salisbury Fred’s Van had a small smash at a roundabout with an Indian. They’re both insured with RAA, but she says she will pay the $450 excess.
 
Instead, she should fight the other driver to the bitter end. He might – but there is no evidence to prove this – have caused the crash to collect insurance on a dodgy car.

Orange Sky Laundry is happy to send junk fundraising email to anyone on their list, but they’re quite secretive about providing an up-to-date schedule of where they operate in Adelaide.

Why does the R.S.P.C.A. pounce on underclass people then order them to take their dogs or cats to a vet for a health check. Don’t they realise the cost relevant to their income? One old man is getting free food from charities because his welfare money is going to a vet to get a health check on his two dogs ordered by the R.S.P.C.A.
 
Meanwhile, one volunteer at an Adelaide R.S.P.C.A. shop removed items thrown into their rubbish bin by the manager and gave them to a rival shop.
 
The volunteer said the shops had gone from being operated solely by volunteers to each having a part-time paid employee working full-time and a higher paid Op Shop general manager sitting in a central building.
 
The volunteer said prices for used items in R.S.P.C.A. shops were often higher than the equivalent new versions in regular retail outlets and that the managers defended this by saying, “It’s all for the animals.” The volunteer said most of the sales revenue goes for employees and rent, not for the animals.

A Salisbury Job Active private contractor stopped the dole of a man who had been working at a part-time job. This man actually tries hard to find work of any kind and frequently has casual work, the income of which he declares to Centrelink.

Fleas and Dust Mites
From the Night Talker

“Cheap treatments for dust mites/bed bugs, fleas and lice (including lice infestation on/around your hoo-hah) 

“If you have dust mites in your home, wash your sheets and bedding regularly. Then spray them every two nights with plain old vinegar (any kind it does not matter) the bugs hate the stuff and will not hang around.
 
“If you have fleas, go to Bunnings Whore-Haus and buy a couple of bottles of cheap, citronella spray for plants. Spray this on the carpet and your bedding and the fleas will depart. Keeping Lavender and Rosemary and Sandalwood nearby helps as well, as fleas can't stand the smell and will depart in droves.
 
“If you have pets you need to wash them in flea shampoo (exelpet flea shampoo for cats and kittens is good and available from Cheap as chips for around $6.00 a bottle) then go onto this website www.miscota.com.au and buy dog and cat spot on (this website is the cheapest on the net for pet supplies (including flea shampoo) it comes from Spain but the products are the same as what you can get from the vets over here).
 
“Finally, if you yourself have fleas/body lice, then wash yourself with Exelpet flea shampoo (or Bob Martins, they are both the same) you can do your entire body including your hair and it is exactly the same product as you would get at the chemist, or supermarket only about 85% cheaper (contains low residue citronella oil).

“Good luck- Remember the only good flea IS A FLAPPING DEAD ONE!”

Heaters
From the Night Talker

“Cheapest (and safest) heaters to use, in cold weather.

“If you need cheap and safe heat as the weather gets colder try these heaters/devices;

1) Small dog and or cat- They are constantly warm and so long as they are clean, have trimmed nails, are desexed, not covered in fleas or filled with worms, reasonably well behaved/house trained, can safely share your bed. My little terrier cross bitch, pumps out the heat. I refer to her heat production as the "Belly-Master 2000, Bio-thermal heat transfer device." They do not need to be plugged in anywhere and are constantly warm, which is a bonus.

2) Look to purchase a free standing electric, towel rack or clothes horse. These items are designed to dry clothes, towels and or tea-towels etc, but are also double as very effective and low cost heaters. The average cost of running these low wattage devices is around 2 to three cents an hour. (About the same as an average light bulb) They also have the added bonus of being very safe. If tipped over they will just shut off and the heat is not enough to burn anyone ( no high heat or radiant flame) to set fire to your house, if kitty accidently brushes his/her tail against the heater.


3) Hot water bottle- This is an oldie and a goodie but be mindful, can be dangerous! Throw away any old, cracked or leaking hot water bottles, never fill them to the top and then screw shut (always release the steam and only fill three quarters full) and NEVER ever place directly on the skin. Always wrap in a large towel or scarf several times. They are best at the end of your bed, where you can get heat to keep your feet warm
and,

4) Newer glass panel free standing heaters. These are not that cheap (average price is around $160.00 plus) but like the heated clothes horse/towel rack, are very safe and very cheap to run. The better quality ones have an electric fan and a timer (so you can set and forget) Can be bought online at places like Kogan.com and Catch.com.

“Good luck and keep warm.”

From the Editor: I bought a thick down quilt at half price from David Jones in West Lakes and drape that over myself during winter. And a down jacket from Katmandu at the airport. Both very expensive, but in the long run worth the money. Are we poor?
​

Remembering the fires at Baptist WestCare

About five years ago, that Master of the Dark Arts, white fella Robert Hannah, was blamed for the fires in the Baptist residency units on Wright Street near Whitmore Square. He had been accused of holding a black séance that produced heat and started the fires.
 
But Master Hannah might have been innocent. A reliable source who recently came forward said the fires were started by an Aboriginal man who believed it was his duty in life to torch the building and those inside. His first two fires hadn’t gotten hold properly. Lighting paper under a car next to the building failed.  However, the third was more successful and caused considerable damage.
 
Along with the fire, residents faced a worse threat: Baptist Bedbugs. WestCare sterilised the joint, but the Baptist Bedbugs returned until the source of the bugs was discovered. Dirty mattresses had been placed near the washing machines and from there were transferred back into the apartments. Not that the residents got much from the victory.
 
They were kicked out when WestCare discovered they could make more money from Aboriginal people. WestCare spent close to a million dollars refurbishing the building, but the new indigenous residents, rather than being grateful, “trashed the place”.  
 
This whole process of administering welfare wasn’t a recipe for creating racial harmony. And both white and black tenants talk of the good old days of Baptist Bedbugs and the fires.

Pam’s blood pressure problem
 
Pam has low blood pressure. There is nothing Dean Spratt, her Dresser, can do about it.
 
Meanwhile, Dean doesn’t want her to give presents to anyone. He is possessive of Pam and her resources.
 
Pam recently went to the hospital about an infected leg, but doctors discovered her other leg was broken and she had bleeding on the brain. Pam struggles through life-threatening illness as if they aren’t happening.

And now the R.S.P.C.A. is causing trouble for her.

​Worthy Man from Crazy Cottage
 
A man worked for Holden’s car factory for much of his life. At some point, he moved into Crazy Cottage in Carrington Street.  
 
He goes to many homeless venues, but is fearful of WestCare. He says the crackdown on druggies at the Hutt Street Centre has pushed them over to WestCare.
 
However, a volunteer at WestCare disputes this. He says the joint is more policed than before, and safer. The volunteer said that David Seacomb and Ken the Negotiator were leaving Strange Stuart to manage the place, and that Stuart was doing a good job.

Tea Tree Salvation Army free food

The Army man running up the Salvo flag walked towards my car. He leaned close and looking me in the eye said, “You look lost.” I told him I was there for the food service. He was appeased.
 
Another elderly Salvo volunteer crossed the carpark and when he saw me he tapped his left trouser pocket.
 
The foyer was empty except for five others. A white woman was with her daughter. A Eurasian woman sat alone, suspicious. An elderly husband and wife arrived wearing G-Force shirts. They both carried excessive weight. They peeked through the glass doors of the free food room. “Go and get the bag and trolley,” he told her.
 
Eleanor soon let the first six of us into the room. She said we could take unlimited jewellery from a box weighting perhaps 25 kilograms. There were also two tables of new clothing. And two tables of decent vegetables and bread. The old man who tapped his wallet pocket said we could take five pantry items so I got a kilo of dahl, half a kilo of shelled walnuts, a jar of French mustard and a box of Lindt chocolates. It was mostly good stuff within the Best-By date.
 
When I left the food room, a crowd of twenty had queued in the foyer. One woman said she couldn’t get the pension because she owned a house and rented it. What struck me was that everyone was old. And we’re luckier than young unemployed people because we get the higher paid aged pension with subsidies. Some of us have survivors’ guilt.

Parafield Gardens Salvation Army
 
A woman in a Hyundai i35 pulled up next to the bollards protecting the donation bin. She threw in bags of clothing and shoes, but when she shoved in a stained pillow, a security siren started for ten seconds then stopped.
 
A nine-year-old girl from Tyndale Christian School inside the church asked a boy what you call a bald man. He stared at her blankly until she said, “My brother.”
 
Nearly everyone ignored me or watched me sideways until a woman sat at my otherwise empty table and brought along her children. She said that “we’re meant for something better than this,” and added that the earth was not our ideal home.
 
They served meat lasagna, garlic bread, salad, ice cream and cake.
 
If you go there, it helps to be a woman or you should go with another person as the gathering is more for their children’s church group though the sign on the door says everyone welcome. And they were decent.

Parasitical government-funded employment contractors
From the Night Talker

“Job Network Centres, all compliance and penalising but little to no assistance;

“Having once again, had to go onto the JSI roundabout, there is unfortunately little that I can say, that is positive about these organisations.
 
“Recently I put my name down to complete a one-day course (apply first aid) with my own JSI provider. Not getting any replies, even though I had signed on a month ago, four days before the course is due to start, I am still not sent my email information and the first half of the course) which needs to be completed online) no email? why? Because they sent it to an email address, that I had changed, three years ago.
 
“Then there is a problem with the online questions and then the course itself...omg? even the trainer states there is so much packed into it, he cannot complete it on one day...so half of it, we never get around too?
 
“But wait, I am two days late signing my new job plan (I seem to get a new one each month) I am penalised, my benefits cancelled (I got them back) and I now have one demerit point, which they have conveniently made in 24 font, so every time I log onto my job search home page, there it is reminding me, of all the things I have done wrong!
 
“Seriously, the JNI I go to has a huge building, which most days is virtually empty, with staff seeming to do little to nothing. My case manager seems to think that time is money and anything longer than five minutes with her, and she starts to become cranky and visibly distressed. (Perhaps I am cutting into her coffee time?) who knows?
 
“All I know, is that my experiences with the JNI is that they are lazy, useless and a waste of time. I have always managed to find my own work and touch wood, avoided them or found work and had a reprieve (for at least a while) I really do feel for those persons who are stuck in an endless loop of JNI obligations.
 
“I will find work again and then I will be rid of these parasites for at least a while. I equate having to negotiate with these morons in the same way as one negotiates when they have fleas. You must rid yourself of the infestation as soon as possible!”

R.S.P.C.A. sneaking around
​Pam’s cat house

Those strange animal protection officers have been sneaking around Pam’s dwelling. They want to look inside and count the cats.
 
The R.S.P.C.A. frequently orders underclass animal owners to take their animals to the vet for a health report and, if necessary, treatment, which usually entails a $150 charge.
 
The R.S.P.C.A. is a private charity, but has been legislated to act as a court prosecutor that can lay charges of animal neglect. But they don’t bother the Adelaide scientists who experiment on animals. Their gruesome experiments are deemed ethical.
 
As one R.S.P.C.A. employee told me, the experimenters can hire expensive expert witnesses and lawyers that are expensive to combat in court.
 
People like Pam, or the Kill Box Lady’s daughter, or Mick of Mick and Denise, all semi-literate and legally naïve, are easy targets who cannot afford lawyers.
 
Not that they don’t need occasional instruction on animal care.

More about the twin brothers
The Rundle Spy

“Ya will instantly know the FrankEinstein Monster Brothers when Ya see or come across them, or they across Ya : a bit stocky ugly brawny some tats (tattoos). Upper end of middle aged losers. The one who had a go at me was wearing Redblack (Black and Red) ugly duds. Probably just in need of extra cash to support a habit or two or three that is just ripping him up from the inside at times.

“FrankEinstein Monster Brothers were regulars in the Warratah methadone treatment centre on Osmond Terrace Norwood for many years.

“Also, this FrankEinstein Monster and the other FrankEinstein Monster Brother were at Pilgrims on Monday January 21st when…

“Just letting Ya know since Ya'all tend to wear the same type clothes I wear plus a bit older looking.

“This FrankEinstein Monster Brother will be picking on passersby to predate on. A sickening feeling... disgusting....

Total horror a FrankEinstein Monster when they reveal their real human self that should probably be locked up in a closed facility, and are instead allowed to roam free everywhere and anywhere in SA Crim Society, even in broad daylight in a well-respected place that is now much less respectable for their Monster appearance.

(above) The Food for the Community store in the 1930's Hindmarsh Town Mission Building at 137 Port Road, Hindmarsh (corner of Anne St and Port Road) has been closed for over six weeks with an announced reopening date of 15 April, but that is now in doubt.

Henry Hancock to the rescue

Dr Henry Hancock of the Calvary Wakefield Private Hospital chopped out a bulging section from the head of the barefoot man who has long dreadlock hair and wears an Army trench coat.
 
The Hutt Street Centre and the RDNS nurse arranged the referral. Henry didn’t charge the dreadlock man a cent and took just three days to do the job.
 
Midday 7 April 2019

​On the Street
 
A man lent a friend six-dollars to fill a doctor’s prescription. The friend returned a few hours later, flush with funds. He’d sold the pills to drug addicts. The lender was disgusted.
 
*
 
A veteran client went to the Hutt Street Centre for lunch last Thursday, but found it closed. “I went there last week and they didn’t tell me they were going to be f***ing closed,” he said.
 
He went instead to St Luke’s at Whitmore Square, but they’d run out of food except for soup.
 
*
 
There are homeless camps springing up over suburban Adelaide, usually hidden amongst trees though visible to local people.
 
Yet government houses remain empty for months, even years while Ian Cox at the Hutt Street Centre, or Alice Clark at ShelterSA, or that silly woman who runs Common Ground, won’t breathe a word of dissent.
 
*
 
You know you’re getting fat when you stop comparing yourself to thin people, but instead measure yourself against hugely obese individuals. 
 
*
 
There was a fight amongst drunks at Fred’s Van in Gawler Place on a recent Tuesday. People took sides and it escalated. The Concubine food ran out.
 
*
 
Puddle Jumpers at Glandore had “boxes and boxes” of free cherry tomatoes on the vines, but one person said they were “useless” because they were too small for sandwiches. “Ripe, but pretty firm. You could cut them up, I suppose, and make a stew,” he added, after some thought. “And there was Paris Creek brie.”
 
*
 
That employee at The Spire Community at Clayton’s Uniting Church would not honestly answer questions about applying for the free food every Wednesday. When asked from what room it was distributed, she said, “Follow your nose.”
 
She was even more vague about whether an interview was required to get it, but talked and talked, ending each sentence with an aggressive “Okay?” She oozed that aggression typical of welfare bureaucrats looking for a powerless person upon which to unload her frustration.
 
This is also choreographed routine used on the underclass. She would not have spoken that way to a social worker or government executive.
 
*
 
There was anger towards a tenant known as The Librarian at Rudd’s Hostel at Semaphore. He was accused of stealing things from other people’s rooms and defecating in his trousers.
 
When berated in such terms in public, The Librarian bows his head and backs away only to drift back again after a few minutes. He copes; he has a survival strategy.
 
*
 
“Sad to see her go,” a client said of Brenda “Chainsaw” McCulloch retiring from the position of cook at the Hutt Street Centre. “Glad to see her go,” another client added, saying that he was sick of pasta and rice.
 
*
 
Richard Hawke is alive and well after his “cancer scare”. Richard worked at Baptist WestCare for years then began a monthly BBQ and sermon in Whitmore square. Richard is well-liked and respected.
 
*
 
A woman and man are inseparable. She occasionally calls the police saying he’s assaulted her. He spends a few days in jail. They have a mutual intervention order forbidding each from going within twenty-metres of the other.
 
He recently went to a Night Court to get a magistrate to adjust the order allowing them together if he was taking her to the hospital, a doctor or a therapeutic event. They are now perpetually involved in going to therapeutic events.
 
*
 
They ran out of hot water for coffee at the regular Friday Victory Church BBQ, next to the Salisbury railway station and in the Stockade Hotel carpark. I got there at 7:15pm, over an hour into the two-hour BBQ.
 
Three Victory Church Christians surrounded Denise who grew up in a government children’s home and called upon Jesus to help her. One said that women are plagued by shame and that she should throw it off.
 
Meanwhile, Mick got three sausages on bread and gave two to his two dogs in the car. He has no shame.

“The only thing I can equate it to is we’re running a concentration camp without barbed wire up to and including the medical experiment of poisoning people with drugs.”
 
Former police officer Todd Wiebke of the Seattle Police Department in a video called, “Seattle is Dying”.  He was talking about the drug addicts living on the streets and in the parks of Seattle and why authorities allowed it.

Maranella at Fred’s Van Salisbury
 
One derelict near the PBA-FM radio station entrance tried to grab a box from Mrs Maranella when she and her husband delivered ten free pizzas for the Sunday meal.
 
The meal consisted of Maranella’s top quality pizzas plus the Fred’s Van wieners in a horrible green sauce, a nice pasta bake, a fresh salad and dessert. The vegetarians were given special preference, but one still found a way to complain. That was embarrassing.
 
Staff forgot to put the salt and pepper shakers on the tables so they sat in a box on the serving counter. There was plenty of yelling and screaming in the kitchen and thumping and banging of objects outside.
 
The takeaway free food room had a few bits and pieces, but it is an embarrassment for the volunteers.
 
The hall is too small so some people eat in the foyer or outside.
 
Fred’s Van Salisbury
Salisbury Institute building, 17 Wiltshire St, Salisbury (next to PBA-FM radio station). 6:00pm Sunday. Soup, good main meal, dessert, coffee and lousy takeaways. Free. No I.D. required. Overcrowded and rushed. Free laundry 4:30-6:30pm. Good toilets. Fascinating people. Beautiful stone building. Ugly surveillance cameras.

(above) Orange Sky Laundry visits Fred's Van at the Kilburn Community Centre every Thursday from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Washing and drying is free for those living outside or cannot wash at home. The orange van is parked in front of the building entrance so there is little privacy. The meal begins at 7:00pm.

Horse Trader Steve at Stevo’s
 
A group of ex-crims met outside the church. They talked about their years “inside”. The man drinking bourbon from a slim glass bottle said he’d been in from 86 to 91. He was quite normal, but like the others, when he approached someone, he walked quickly and swung his arms forward while sharpening his voice. But this was an adopted prison pose and didn’t represent actual hostility. They talked about the “New Building” in Adelaide jail and what went on there.
 
Kristina had returned from hospital. She was pale, but appeared healthier than before. Perhaps the rest in hospital and replacement of everyday worries with mortality issues did her good.
 
Horse Trader Steve is no longer a volunteer at Stevo’s and his new role as client seems to suit him well. The Other Guy is a volunteer and helped unload the Food Bank truck then washed the dishes. There was a box of corn-on-the-cob, but it was strangely taken into the kitchen and never reached the table for clients. A volunteer asked everyone to write their name and address on the registration paper next to the free food. No one was fooled by this ruse and wrote only a first name and the name of a suburb.
 
A stocky white social worker was there to give advice, which she gave to two Asian social work students from Flinders Uni. I considered asking her a question, but being an old white man, I realised, would exclude me.
 
Volunteers served a sausage stew, canned beans, salad, sandwiches (all with meat or eggs), pastries, hot cross buns, fruit dessert and chocolate cake. There were about forty diners and volunteers didn’t rush us in any way.
 
A man who gets up during the night and cleans his house said that the food at Fred’s Van Kilburn is “sh**” and “gives you a gut ache”.
 
The Bait Woman’s ex-boyfriend was there. It was his birthday. He is very popular at Stevo’s.
 
Enfield Uniting Church (Stevo’s)
corner of Park Street and Main North Road, Sefton Park. (next to Target)
10:00am to 12 noon. Tuesdays. Only during school terms. Best to arrive early.
Free snacks, sandwiches, hot meal, coffee, clean toilets. Limited takeaway food.

Late 6 April 2019

(above) Education in the Adelaide parklands or preparing for The Big Cull. Most Australians have been partially desexed and if we didn't have immigration from Africa and China, Australia's population would decline. And isn't the police and government giving smooth sailing to the drug dealers to poison the underclass a sign of the preliminary phase of The Big Cull? And is the Hutt Street Centre's operatives getting homeless people "medicated" - whether they need it or not - part of that plan?

Dead bodies
 
There are dark stories floating through homeless and underclass soup kitchens.
 
Such rumours are that the Snowtown Killers killed more than the number of bodies discovered.
 
Or that the location of a dead body is known, but that informing the police will mean years of questioning and surveillance. Why go looking for trouble?

From the anonymous contact page

“This is a "heads up" on a FrankEinstein Monster who might be molesting homeless and vulnerable folks visiting the Pilgrim Church on Flinders Street and just in back of the main Adelaide City Council offices.

“Today I was just walking past Pilgrims and one of the FrankEinstein Monster Brothers went verbally abusive derogatory at me.

“My apparent offence is that of just "minding my own business".

“I received a real sickening mouthful from the badmouth.

“For those druggies boozers dopers who can expect no more MONEY for their filthy f#*@ing drug habits from the lean and sparse Federal Government budget announced last night, there must be really down-in-the-dump resentments towards anyone and everyone who is a ‘straight person’.”
 
The Rundle Spy
 
Third Editor: Yes, they are at the Pilgrim once or twice a week. Used to be at WestCare. Druggies, but didn’t they get off the juice? They are grumpy, but won’t physically attack anyone. They are disarmed if you smile slightly and acknowledge them. On a good day.
 
Staff at the church know that and treat them well. So the brothers are smarter than they appear or act.

Jera has ideals, but cannot see the bigger picture of a planned conspiracy to create a housing shortage then flood the homeless scene with heroin, prescription opioids and crystal methamphetamine, the latter straight from China without love. Jera was tricked by the Hutt Street Centre and WestCare drug dealers into believing they were good people and anyone criticising them was bad.

The Lutheran Ark at Salisbury
 
Peter and Beverley Dawson arrived late, walking some distance apart as they carried on a loud conversation, like tribal Aboriginals on a Kangaroo hunt. They staggered against their walking frames as they found a seat at our table.
 
They are married, but live in separate houses due to Peter’s “hoarding”. Yet they remain friends without any demonstrative ego battles. Church welfare sessions are good places to learn about other people and apply that knowledge to oneself.
 
Alice celebrated her 82nd birthday. She said she was proud to have made 82. She appeared to be about 80. Her mind functions well.
 
Cath read a religious text about going against the tide and facing whatever happens without looking back. It had something to do with Christianity, but could be applied to any human endeavour where an individual faces a hostile majority consensus.
 
Bec said one of her toes had turned black and numb so she was wearing a slipper on one foot to maintain the circulation. She has kindly intentions and is respected amongst the underclass.
 
Just 28 people were present with at least eight of them being from the church. The food was purchased from stores and not stale rubbish from Food Bank. It included beef schnitzels, potatoes, beans with, broccoli, a fresh salad, pasta bake with cheese, four or five cakes including a rich vanilla cake with caramel. It was strange eating a fresh boiled potato. I’d gotten used to eating stale spuds from Food Bank and Second Bite.
 
Little dishes of chocolates were put on the table. One woman grabbed both dishes at our table and poured the contents into her bag. She’s been to too many soup kitchens.

Cos We Care Elizabeth
 
The 57-year-old toothless man sat on the soaked log barrier in Fremont Park. He was first there waiting for the Cos We Care van. His telltale tightly packed medium sized backpack lay on the wet ground at his feet. He smiled as he said he’d been homeless for ten years, but was thinking of doing something about it.
 
After the van arrived, a younger man, maybe 40, said he was homeless. AJ (Allan Junior) left the park and bought some food for him. It was prepared food and different from the fruit and vegetables given away by Cos We Care.
 
Former Holden’s car factory electrician, Kerrie, from the Gloucester Apartments, brought his blue-tooth speaker and played music by request. Vandals have repeatedly broken into Kerrie’s car at the Housing Trust apartments.
 
Because it had rained, the food was served from the van so we didn’t get as much as usual.

Faith Works Saturday free food event in Mitchell Park

Faith Works is giving away free food at 11:30am in Mitchell Park this Saturday, 6 April 2019. The address is Quick Road Reserve, Corner of Quick Rd. and Shepley St., Mitchel Park.
 
They don’t require I.D. and don’t ask questions. The FaithWorks preacher, Bruce Kurtzer, says “No strings attached,” but he is wrong here. They may take your photograph or video image and use it for promoting Faith Works.
 
Mr Kutzer should replace “No strings attached” with “One string attached.”

Port Adelaide Library
 
Druggies were arguing in front of the library on Church Street yesterday afternoon. Something about a short deal. They were sitting and stand around the chairs especially installed for them.
 
A 28-year-old man stabbed a slightly older man in the shoulder the previous day, also on Church Street. The police took away the stabber while the victim went with the ambulance.
 
Most library patrons appear to be people on remand or parole with a few wear electronic ankle bands and sleeping at the AngliPrison, 200 metes east on Dale Street.
 
The days when retired people went to the library for research are long gone as is the time when mothers took their kids to the library. Yet the children’s section is much enlarged, but is used by groups resembling those connected with the Tough Love outfit and Offenders Aid.
 
Meanwhile, the cowardly Australian and South Australian governments won’t breathe a word of criticism against the Chinese government that helps the drug manufacturers export to Australia.
 
Such cowards.

“You seem to take great delight in denigrating people who are getting off their asses and doing something about helping the less fortunate out there. You take photos that could only be taken by you trespassing. Maybe if you put a bit of effort into finding a job, or God forbid got off YOUR ass and volunteered somewhere the world would be a slightly better place. Get a life.”

Anglicare’s generous relocation package

Anglicare finally told the tenants at an Elizabeth retirement complex that they would be shipped out because the units were being knocked down and replaced. An intellectually disabled woman told us this earlier this year, but Anglicare delayed an official announcement for nine months.
 
Anglicare’s relocation package includes an unlimited choice of alternate units with the option of returning to the redeveloped retirement complex.
 
Anglicare will also reinstall air conditioners, ceiling fans and any portable renovations that either they or the tenants have installed. This means that Gina Rinehart’s former legal secretary in the front unit will get her split system air conditioner moved to her new unit. And we thought she was naïve.
 
Anglicare will also pay for the transfer of telephones, Foxtel, gas, electricity, disability installations and plus the cost of removalists.
 
The only fear tenants have is that the rent on their new units may be higher than their current bargain rent of $141 a week, less Rent Assistance. And why won’t Anglicare name the suburbs in which their government-owned properties are located? This would make choosing a new place much easier, and place some power of choice into the hands of the tenants.

(above) You got to hand it to Bruce Kurtzer of Faith Works. He's always got a new trick up his sleeve. The only error in his phone ad is claiming that the One Voice showers are hot. Perhaps cool to warm would be more accurate.

Faithwork’s Carisbrooke Park fizzer
 
The crowd did not arrive. More than half of those twenty present appeared to be associated with Faithworks. There wasn’t any coffee. The free pizza did not exist. A placard near the gazebo advertised free bread. There wasn’t any.
 
Another sandwich board advised that we had entered a media zone. The sign read in part that “By attending this event, you understand that media images of you and/or your child maybe captured and you agree that these captured images or videos of you and/or your child maybe used in public promotional and marketing materials of Faithworks.”  This notice was not visible to anyone approaching the Faithworks van, but only upon leaving it. At least two people were taking images.
 
A woman walked in and was amazed at being offered free aged vegetables. “Thank you,” she kept saying as Bruce handed her his business card and mentioned making a donation. “Thank you, she said, again, when she might have said, “What, pay for a bag of half-rotten vegetables you said were free?” 
 
The BBQ man hadn’t any sausages or bread, but offered excellent free vegetable fritters without MSG neuro-toxin seasoning.
 
The One Voice shower van was there, but not a single person wanted a cool shower on a cool day. The operator was that decent fellow who volunteered for years on Saturdays at the DUO events at the Salvation Army in Pirie Street. He said the water for the showers was heated by an Infinity heater via LPG gas bottles. He said the temperature was set at 42° C.
 
Carisbrooke Park runs along an old river bed under Main North Road at the Old Spot Hotel and through to Salisbury. The bush is dense and would make a perfect camping area for homeless people on foot.
 
As for Bruce Kurtzer, he should throw away his tactics, which could have come from a theological conversion equivalent of Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”.
 
Also, homeless-style people like predictability in services. That is why Fred’s Van attracts large crowds of genuinely poor people: Fred’s Vans are reliably at the same location every week and they don’t use the poor to promote the Catholic church.
 
But one must hand it to Bruce, he’s game to try any new possibility to promote his Faithworks operation.

Rosanne Haggerty’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool at the Hutt Street Centre
(permanent post)

The Vulnerability Index-Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) is being introduced at Adelaide’s Hutt Street Centre during what they call “Connections Week” from 14 to 18 May 2018.
 
Those seeking most services from the Hutt Street Centre will be required to answer intimate questions, the answers to which will be entered into an international data base.
 
The rational of applying this algorithm is that by identifying people requiring huge amounts of medical and police interventions, then by taking control of their lives, the government can save money.
 
This solid argument belies the injustice that occurs in its broad application where bureaucrats will put every person living outside, or in their cars, through this intimate interrogation, then share the details with all and sundry. 
 
The manner of questioning will be through an electronic drip-feed with the client not seeing the complete list prior to agreeing to answer the questions. The mysterious owner of the algorithm says the sequence of asking the questions is vitally important. This is because the questions become increasingly intrusive and offensive as the client progresses through the list. Clients will not be given a copy of the completed answer list or be told who will have access to their most personal details.
 
While the clients will provide excruciating personal details of their lives, those collecting it will identify themselves in the diminutive form of their first names such as Ben, Liz or Trish. Any further enquiries will be met with a stern rebuke citing privacy issues.
 
The initial questions include a homeless person’s nickname, hospital attendances, instances of cooperation with or incarceration by the police, suicide or self-harm attempts, sexual prostitution, difficulty locating toilets, incidents of being kicked out of housing and why, and where doctors have refused medication.
 
The interrogator will also smell the clients, look for rotting flesh or puncture wounds, note whether their clothing is fashionable or mismatched, ask if the person drinks mouthwash, has been to a psychiatrist, considered suicide, was a slow learner at school or suffered “abuse”. All of which will be added to the secret file kept on the client.  
 
These questions are reasonable in certain circumstances where a person has consciously approached a professional for treatment. However, the plan is to subject every homeless person to them, that is, treat every person living outside as if they have been sexually abused, use Ice and sell themselves as prostitutes.
 
Answering such questions may subjectively feel like emotional vivisection for those already wounded and fearful. For the interrogator, it will be a pornographic experience where the wound will be tweaked at dozens of subsequent interviews, like a knife twisted in a wound. For the homeless person, the tightening of the interviewer’s smile, a hardening of the voice, even a wink will feel like a punch in the solar plexus.
 
The reader may agree that the test is for the greater good and that this increased suffering by the homeless class is a small price to pay. While there won’t be any pain for those conducting the interrogation, those undergoing it will come out feeling disgusted with themselves and fearful of the consequences of providing such personal details to total strangers. And fearful they should be, as the concept of privacy and dignity has gone from our society.
 
The interrogators will also be mandatory reporters legally required to pass on to the police or psychiatric authorities certain answers given by the homeless person.
 
For housing purposes, each positive answer to a question gets 1 point. Anyone scoring 3 or less is told to leave; 4-7 progresses the client to another series of questions to assess them for “rapid re-housing”. However, scoring over 8 points wins the dubious prize of “supported housing”, which means having their personal life monitored and controlled and may include compulsory medication.
 
The drip-feed method of asking questions is designed to immerse the homeless person in the interrogation process, making it harder to withdraw for fear of incurring the displeasure of the interviewer and the sickening feeling of having given sensitive information to a stranger who has suddenly adopted a hostile countenance.
 
Aggressive street beggars use a similar technique with their initial ultra-friendly approach while asking for a dollar, which upon receipt of the coin progress to a threatening demeanour while subsequently demanding a larger amount.
 
The last question asked by the VI-SPDAT interrogator at a homeless joint such as the Hutt Street Centre is, “OK, now I’d like to take your picture so that it is easier to find you and confirm your identify in the future. May I do so?”
 
This artificial intelligence algorithm tool is a progression from the Social Inclusion Adelaide CBD homeless count initiated by Monsignor David Cappo and administered by bureaucrat David Waterford in 2007.
 
We in the homeless scene laughed at the absurdity of that inaccurate count, which continues to this day, but it was Cappo, Waterford and the government bureaucrats who had the last laugh. The count was camouflage to disguise personal data collection on those living outside. The pledge of anonymity was deceit as the provision of initials and partial birthdate were enough to identify the responder across multiple private and government data bases. In this exercise, Baptist and Catholic homeless charities ran with the wolves.
 
The Don Dunstan Foundation is the current sponsor of the VI-SPDAT algorithm tool. In a media release offering a briefing on the results of their data collection onslaught, they advertised that, “During Connections Week, dedicated workers and volunteers across Adelaide will get to know every person sleeping rough by name…”
 
This newer and more powerful personal data list created using this algorithm, along with photographs, will be handed over to a psychiatric services provider called Neami National, a Melbourne-based corporation posing as a non-profit organisation with 900 employees.
 
Neami is contracted to replace Adelaide’s Street-to-Home psychiatric service that conducted interviews with homeless people in busy cafes. Armed with the data base and photographs in their tablets, Neami employees will be able to search out and identify homeless people in the Adelaide CBD and surrounding parklands.
 
Where the Hutt Street Centre’s C.E.O., Ian Cox, comes into this is not clear. Ian has for decades championed the right of self-determination for his clients.
 
Yet David Pearson, the executive director of the Don Dunstan Foundation, said, “The Hutt Street Centre in Adelaide are going to help us run Connections Week where we go out and make a connection with every single person sleeping rough.”
 
Pearson added, “It starts with knowing every person sleeping rough in the city by name and creating what we call a ‘by name list’.”
 
This means that the Hutt Street Centre will deliver its clients to Neami, a private psychiatric corporation, which must give Ian Cox sleepless nights.

She has lived  for years in a comfortable home in an exclusive suburb across the South Parklands and within walking distance of  the Hutt Street Centre. Rotary may not know this, but the Hutt Street Centre does as Robyn has been going there for decades. This is a problem with homeless welfare where  clients get drawn into an agency's  propaganda unit. Robyn has had a tumultuous life and has adapted her tactics to meet those challenges and her endurance is a credit to the survival skills of humanity.
