Its all too obvious that the city will never schedule a meeting that actually addresses a real plan of action to help homeless people on an encompassing city-wide scale in Los Angeles. The officers, and the Mayor's representative are only at the meetings to repeat (like nice robots) that the city will carry out actions against those at the tent city at occupy LA. (The Eviction)
The city of Los Angeles' actions, will prove to the world that they really are (under the palm) of our federal government, which is in turn under multi-national corporations' control. The feds are no doubt working in concert with city officials across the USA.
OccupyLA was just an experiment for them (our Federal government). Giving the occupation more time, and even counter offers of office space or acreage helped them score points, to put up (a public face) for the rest of the world that is still mesmerized by the television set, and willing to be brainwashed by anything that comes across as being fair to the Occupy movement, when in reality: the movement occupying the Los Angeles City Hall grounds IS the message to democracy and that the problem IS the current political system, and any conditional compensation the city offers to the occupation within the confines of the current system is a moot point.
The police representatives and the Mayors' representative if they want to help the movement, will have to step down from their current positions and refuse to order any number of individuals below them in rank to take any action against the occupation. (we know that won't happen even though the mask they wear is that of: being oh so kind, and I'm so sorry we have to do this.
Do not be fooled. They have made their choice, probably out of fear of losing their jobs. And as human beings, they are missing the very conscious idea, what we, in the movement already know, and are sworn to - in our hearts and minds - and that is: the horizontal way of living - helping our fellow man, no-longer letting the multinational corporation destroy families and the environment. Any conscious human with the empathy gene (our greatest trait) knows this to be fact.
There is no man alive that will ever defeat the core idea in this movement. It is now on the playing field. It dominates my thinking now. (as you can read)
Empathy toward the fellow human being and respect for the environment must triumph over that of greed and profits.
We know that corporations and war and environmental destruction are at the core of this - profit and greed, that manipulates and beholdens incumbents and candidates.
Until those chains are removed from our poisoned politicians, there must be no end to the Occupy movement.
The Eviction coming will become our very first victory. Our battle has just begun. Lets make ourselves heard in this broken system, lets shout out to our allies at OWS.
Long live the Occupy movement. !

And The County of Los Angeles
Submitted by slearwig on
...to date has Never operated the General Relief program by the color of the law, not even after Gardner vs. County of Los Angeles.
The County still pays less than the Minimum benefit amount required by W&I Code Sec. 17000.6 for benefit amounts reduced by a County Distress Waiver filed with the office of the "Commission on State Mandates", again required by State W&I Code Sec. 17000.6.
In fact, The State W&I Code requires periodic refiling of County claims of financial distress in order to continue to pay the reduced GR benefit to eligible recipients and not only has The County Not filed a claim for distress since around 1995, but The State of California is Not pursuing the matter. I talked to the Commission on State Mandates office responsible for accepting waiver claims on the matter and they told me that most Counties had not continued to file for their Waivers. There are other infractions of the W&I Code regarding the General Relief program by The County.
When Jerry Brown was Our State Attorney General, I pointed out these violations of State General Relief Code by The County and an assistant for Brown's office replied that the relevant State Code was left to The County to enforce; that the AG would not pursue the matter of violations of State Code regarding General Relief of which The Counties are required by Charter to The State of California to obey.
Jerry Brown?

Most movements start with momentum on their side I.E. a political leader. I have just called Governor Jerry Brown regarding the eviction late last night and the illegal actions taken by LAPD and Mayor Villaraigosa. I have asked that his office make very clear to Jerry Brown of the situation and that many insist a statement from him regarding the matter.
Amen

The lack of social justice, and the reluctance of government to address this problem is sickening. It's not surprising to see how our "elected" leaders are sweeping this thing under the rug. Not to be a pessimist, but I knew this would happen. But I also know that the Occupy Movement will not die. The results that We want will come to pass, it's just a matter of time. For all those who suffer the most, I pray their relief will come as quickly as possible.
