Addressing Eeyore - Introduction To The Agenda21Truth Project

Music Is One Way I Am Trying To Communicate A Powerful Message - But, There Are Eeyore's Out There Raining On My Parade.

Eeyore - Character in the Winnie-the-Pooh books.  Characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, anhedonic, old grey stuffed donkey.

In 2011, when I decided I'd like to start my efforts to exposing the "Agenda" to fellow Utahan's, one of the things I decided to do was create a "promo real" that I would use to help others understand what  my intentions were and claim my rights and stand on them.  As I have many years of experience in advertising, marketing and branding this would be a fun project.  I wanted others to know I was out in the "town square" and sharing information I think they should know about the conspiracy to defraud the American People.  As I developed ideas over time I heard several songs on the radio that I considered at the time.  I settled on "King Of Anything" because it stated one of the biggest falsehoods we've been taught from birth.

Its powerful words rebuked those who think they have power over us and reminded [them] that there is only one "King", and that is Jesus Christ!  It was an upbeat tune with lyrics clearly understood.  It invoked power in communicating the message I intended.  I would use quotes from our Founding Fathers to emphasize my point!  Although there were many great quotes, I settled on some from John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Russell Lowell and, James, from the Bible.  I used these words to convey the right of The People to be left alone and not dictated to by, so called "leaders", and exercise the freedom God intended with an emphasis on Private Property.  I had to sprinkle in my logo, social media tags and, the proverbial "fair use" code and song credit.  It was really fun putting my ideas into motion in 2012, literally.  It's been pretty much untouched since them accept for my recent update about a year ago to fix some of the audio anomalies and to add BitChute to the mix.

My intention was to create a desire to learn about Agenda21/2030 Agenda and the fraud that has permeated the American People since before I was born.  I thought it would be a good way to deal with the negative, overreaching agenda with "pep"!  Well, not everyone thought so.  Meet someone I associate with Eeyore.  It started with this...

"Barb" must have been so disturbed by the music she missed the message!  I addressed this in my reply to her being so annoyed she thought it important to leave a comment on a video that reported on the Judge in a Federal Case LAUGHING at a defendant OUT LOUD!  As a side note, many people disputed that this actually happened, although it was published in written reports and testified to by courtroom observers.  Yes!  There was an injustice done, and this is a very serious matter but, I get the final "note" singing the response to these tyrannical power hungry public servants, and that is my "promo real"!  Barb, sadly, couldn't grasp the upbeat message I intended.  I couldn't think of a better way to end it, declaring Jesus Christ is King!  I would like to convey to Barb and others, that we can get a point across and do it powerfully and cheerfully and not be oppressed by what [they] are doing to innocent individuals.  Why the Eeyore attitude Barb?  I did have a chance to address Barb's attitude with others who didn't see it her way.  When I "remastered" my promo real I added this pinned comment.

And then there was this YouTuber that complimented me on it.

It just goes to show you that you can't please everyone all of the time but, I am always amazed at the people who will only leave a comment of criticism and nothing else, they almost always have not created anything on YouTube, not one thing, but they've got criticism to hand out like Obama phones!

The Eeyore Syndrome - Identifying the individual is the easy part, dealing with such a person, however, is far from pleasant and requires good boundaries and a lot of hard work.

A pessimist wears out the patience of those closest to him and drains the energy of friends who try to help him see things from a more positive perspective.

If you spend much time around a personality type that perpetually whines, criticizes, or spreads a gospel of "doom and gloom", you know how important it is to constantly monitor your own attitude to prevent negativity from chipping away at your previously sunny disposition.

Attitude Is Contagious - Is Yours Worth Catching?

It is important to remember that negative people often deflect their unhappiness on others.

Ten Traits That Identify A Positive Attitude:

1.  Exhibit integrity

2.  Do not speak badly of others

3.  Stay optimistic

4.  Help others when you can

5.  High ambitions

6.  Kind and compassionate

7.  Believe in and respect yourself

8.  Persist until you succeed

9.  Open-mindedness

10. Take responsibility 

I'd like to share the components of my promo video to help explain the ideas behind why I included them.  Let's start with the iTunes title by Sara Bareilles, "King Of Anything".

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table

While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able

But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions man

We're all entitled to 'em

But I never asked

So let me thank you for your time

And try not to waste any more of mine

Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe

But I'm not drowning

There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything

You sound so innocent

All full of good intent

Swear you know best

But you expect me to

Jump up on board with you

And ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost

With no direction, oh

But you'll never see

You're so busy making maps

With my name on them in all caps

You got the talking down

Just not the listening

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything

All my life I've tried

To make everybody happy while I

Just hurt and hide

Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything

Lemme hold your crown, babe

Oh, oh

I loved the following quotes by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson respectively:

"All eyes are opened, or are opening, to the rights of man.  The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride legitimately, by the Grace Of God."

                                           ~ Thomas Jefferson

"Human nature itself is evermore an advocate of liberty.  There is also in human nature a resentment of injury, and indignation against wrong.  A love of truth and a veneration of virtue.  These amiable passions, are the 'latent spark'. . . if the people are capable of understanding, seeing and feeling the difference between true and false, right and wrong, virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?"

                                              ~ John Adams 

James Russell Lowell wrote a great poem, portions of which were often time spoken by one of my heroes Dr. Stan Monteith, they appear below.

"Once to every nation, comes the moment to decide.

In the strife of truth with false-hood, for the good or evil side;

Then it is the brave man chooses, while the crowd stands aside,

Till the multitude make virtue, of the faith they had denied.

Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the truth alone is strong:

Though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the thrown be wrong,

Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown,

Standeth GOD within the shadow, keeping watch above His own."

I intend to drive my point home by stating the FACTS embodied in the Bible verse from John 1:17

My whole goal through this tune, lyrics and verses, was to be a reminder that God created us and gave us this earth "and all things therein".  These truths were embodied in our Founding Documents and no MAN can take them from us.  Moses gave us His Law, and He, Jesus Christ, is the Beginning and the End.  Everyone will answer to Him therefore, THINK before you act.  Christ Is King!

There is a lot more I could say in explanation of the words in this song and the quotes I included but, I'd hoped I wouldn't have to go in to much detail to drive the point home.  My only purpose is to voice truth in the face of tyranny and remind those tyrants they have no power over mankind, only themselves in obedience to God's Law.  I hope it helps explain what my focus is and gives you encouragement in keeping up the good fight while learning not so pleasant things.  I don't want anyone to be discouraged and find themselves with an "Eeyore Attitude",  God Bless!  Please Like, Share and Subscribe!😁

You CAN Fight City Hall - The Case Of Holladay Residents Vicory Over A Tyrannical Mayor & City Council

Holladay Utah Residents Emerge Vicorious Over Mayor Rob Dahle and the City Council after Utah Supreme Court sides with Unite For Holladay to put the High Density Development up for referendum.

In January 2018 the Holladay Planning Commission voted against changing the General Plan of the city to rubber stamp a proposal by the Mayor and City Council to build stack & pack housing and mixed use transit oriented development (TOD) which would give Ivory, Woodbury and UTA Developers, who renamed the development "Holladay Quarter" and called it "a decade of dirt", referring to the demise of the Cottonwood Mall, tax incentives at the taxpayers expense to implement the carbon copy general plan adopted by cities across America sold by the American Planning Association.

Ivory & Woodbury

The plan proposed would bring 775 high-rise apartments, 210 other housing units that would include twin homes and condos, dozens of retail shops and $22 Million dollars in tax subsidies to the developers.  More crony capitalism, also known in history books as fascism, at the public's expense.  On May 17, 2018 the City Council bypassed the Planning Commission vote of 5-1 against the development, but the City Council with dollar signs in their eyes overrode that vote.  In June of 2018 the residents organized Unite For Holladay to put the General Plan to a vote then Ivory & Woodbury started a PR Campaign to stop the referendum ballot process and threatened legal action.  By July 12th 8000 signatures were gathered, 35% of registered voters of the 2016 general election, a substantial opposition to the City Council plan.  In August Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen verified that there were enough signatures to put it on the ballot for a vote, but the City Council turned a deaf ear to the residents lawful path and on August 6th committed taxpayer funds to initiate legal action against them in which District Judge Richard McKeilve ruled the petition valid and ordered it be put on the ballot.  That same day the City Of Holladay joined with Ivory & Woodbury against the residents of Holladay and took the case to the Utah Supreme Court and ultimately ruled the issue be put on the ballot.  October 8th ballots are printed containing the measure giving the residents a voice in the matter.  The people spoke and the measure was defeated, a victory over a tyrannical Mayor and City Council and their cronies.  The case can now be made that "politics is local" and that politically active individuals can bring about change but organization is key!  Although these plans are federal, with the driving force by the United Nations and the global elites, these "plans" can be opposed in our communities, and just like this one, it may take a court battle to get it done.  Residents of Holladay and the Unite For Holladay organization along with the Planning Department deserve accolades for their vigilance on this matter.  Kudos to those residents that were "awake" and through their watchdog efforts organized in an effort to defeat this plan and remind the Mayor and City Council [they] are their employees, they hired them and they can fire them, and I hope the residents will remember this "coup d'etat" when they are up for re-election.

Listen!

Recently the Salt Lake County Council approved a high density project being called Olympia Hills in the area of Herriman in which Mayor Ben McAdams has proposed a plan that includes 37 residents per acre, as opposed to Herriman's 8, Riverton's 7 and Daybreak's 11, which translates to 33,000 people on 900 acres, which would make the area the most populated area in Salt Lake County to include 4,738 apartments, 2,485 town homes, 1,497 single family homes along with retail shops and a satellite campus for the University of Utah.  Ben McAdams was on the campaign trail in June of 2018 and held a town hall in which Herriman residents showed up in droves to voice their opinion to McAdams' plan saying, "it's inappropriate to build and entire city in my back yard", and another stating, "Olympia Hills would be like New York or Los Angels" siting the fact that they have trains, light rail and a fleet of buses.  Remember, this is the Delphi technique, problem, reaction, solution so, that will initiate the plan for UTA to come on board, and cities like Sandy and Draper can tell you about the problems that creates, which, it so happens, that the Holladay Plan also included plans for a TRAX line down Highland Drive (page 30).  Other residents voiced opposition due to the infrastructure it would take to support such a population and that "putting 33,000 people into the transportation corridor, hospitals, sport venues and schools is the dumbest idea ever"!   Someone else asked, "how did this plan get so far"?  And, "the County has failed us massively"!

It is important to note that I believe that if it hadn't been for the election campaign  of Ben McAdams ,which includes donations from Slhnet Investments a real estate investment firm, he would not have been involved in this town hall where the community voiced its opposition to Olympia Hills.  I've learned by experience that Ben McAdams does not like opposition to his "plans" and holds closed door meetings to hide his intentions and turns a deaf ear to the community opposition as he exhibited in the Salt Lake County Community Preservation act .  It is no secret Ben McAdams is giddy about Envision Utah and their sustainable development agenda that is evident throughout Salt Lake County, obliterating the "small town feel" he talks about.  It's easy to see that every community across the Wasatch Front is a carbon copy of the next, it's like Groundhog Day in Utah . . . and every other city across America.  Olympia Hills would be the "planned community" of Daybreak on steroids!  Every time I drive into that place it reminds me of the old western Ghost Town, so cold and uninviting.  Narrow streets and no parking, roundabouts sending you in random directions.  I can't ever wait to get out of that place!  Thanks Rio Tinto!  Remember the “Sugar Hole” in Sugarhouse? This is what is becoming of it. You can hardly move in that place and they are still talking about putting TRAX down 1100 East, and that will ELIMINATE cars! I would estimate that, for an example, the city of Midvale now boasts more multi dwelling units than single family homes which is where the tax revenue is generated, and just like Olympia Hills, there are city officials who are profiting off these renters and landlords selling insurance protection and mediation services among others.  It's the day of crony capitalism hidden under the cloak of Public Private Partnership (PPP).

Stay strong Herriman and surrounding communities in taking action against a tyrannical Salt Lake County Council and their plans to build a monstrosity opposed by the people, and don't let Aimee Winder Newton fool ya, she voted for this monstrosity!  Don't give up!  Take a page out of Holladay's book of how to fight against those only motivated by money and power and ready to sell you down the river.  Don't be silenced by the threats and flashy PR campaigns.  Learn to see through their lies, and for heavens sake, let commonsense direct your paths.  These government types are always dropping the "population bomb" saying "our population is going to double by 2050 and we need a place to put these people"!  These people are counting on you not noticing that there is a lot of open space out side of the urban corridor, what's known as "flyover country".  The truth is America is only inhabiting 6% of our land mass and I'm willing to bet that Utah is the same despite the claim the Federal Government has to land within our borders.  In short, IT'S A CROCK!  It is very rare that single family homes are being built in most areas in Salt Lake County.  It's been five years since I've witnessed one being built in Sandy, they are all twin homes or multi family dwellings, don't let this happen to your community!  The reason home prices are soaring is because there is too much demand and not enough inventory.  Despite what the "experts" tell you, people want single family homes, even the millennials, and this is why they are saying we need high density, because incomes can't keep pace.  One thing I have noticed is that Zions Bank is, more often now, involved in these plans somehow.  As in the Community Preservation Act in Salt Lake County they produce some analysis, but always look at the numbers, and don't let their name intimidate you into not looking.  Although their job is to "seal the deal" you will find the numbers don't add up.  It's a red flag!

It is important for individuals concerned about high density development to learn the language.  Learn to recognize the organizations and the individuals integral in pushing these plans they claim are endorsed by the communities they plan to transform.  Here are a few warning signs, Chamber of Commerce, EPA, US Forest Service, Health & Human Services, HUD, Downtown Alliance, Envision Utah, Downtown Rising, Land Use, Urban Design, Neighborhood Preservation, Transportation Network, Transit Oriented Development, Economic Development, Resilience, Open Space, Natural Resources, Sustainability, High Density, Mixed Use, Wasatch Front Regional Council, Fiscal/Environmental/Social Equity, Metropolitan Planning Organization, American Planning Association, Green Space, Walkability, Public/Private Partnership, Redevelopment, Pedestrian Friendly, National Heritage Area, General Plan just to name a few.  Many of my articles highlight these terms and the agenda behind them.  These are the people and organizations you need to watch out for.

 Holladay and Herriman, you make Tom Deweese proud!  I suggest you visit his website American Policy Center for a continuing education on Sustainable Development.  His website and his new book can help alert you to the terms used and their agenda.

  I also suggest you check out Rosa Koire's website and her book Behind The Green Mask, this will also help you with the terms and agenda.  I also recommend watching her video about the General Plans being adopted by every city in America.

Fast-tracking The Homeless Shelter The Bullet Train To Disaster

Salt Lake County Mayor

Ben McAdams

&

Utah Representative

Steve Eliason

Try to railroad two Utah Cities into

adopting new Homeless Shelter expansion

It's a SHOCK to most Salt Lake County residents to find out that the Governor,Gary Herbert, Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams and Representative Steve Eliason quietly drafted legislation to expand the Homeless Shelter Program into neighboring cities surrounding Salt Lake.  Mayor Ben McAdams put together a Steering Committee back in 2015 assembling "stakeholders" to get the wheels moving on this locomotive.  Several things I find interesting are the Salt Lake County Office of Regional Development, you just need to read some of my previous posts to understand what "Regional Development" is.  Another interesting fact is that the Mayor of Midvale City was asked to sit on the committee, no better way to keep the homeless shelter out of your town than to be on the steering committee, and it doesn't hurt that your city is a total buy-in to Agenda 21 Sustainable Development!  And if you're a bank, like GE Capital, you can bet you'll be benefiting through the financial workings of their plan.  The Pioneer Park Coalition?  I get that one, because they have been trying to get that mess cleaned up for decades!

 

This plan is being fast-tracked by the Utah Legislature with Steve Eliason acting as railroad engineer, Eliason also sits on the Board Of Trustees for the Road Home .  If you follow what goes on on Capital Hill you'll understand WHY these sketchy bills are fast-tracked at the end of the Legislative Session, because they think people are too tired to care, and no one's listening.  Mayor McAdams, Steve Eliason, and Wayne Niederhauser know there is great opposition to the expansion of the Homeless Shelter, that's why no one has been successful in their promise to move or expand the shelter since 2009.  And, what better way to ram your bill through the Utah Legislature, by having two legislators who don't live in Salt Lake County sponsor your bill.  Francis Gibson lives in Utah County and Ann Millner represents Davis, Morgan and Weber Counties.  That way these two representatives don't hear opposition to it, because, anyone who has tried to contact a legislator to let them know of opposing views or support knows that they ignore you unless you live in their district, even though the legislation they pass effects ALL OF US!  Mayor McAdams played this "last minute trick" on Salt Lake County residence with his "Community Preservation Act" holding last minute community meetings only giving his point of view and not letting the community, the residents, speak their minds about it.  Eliason and McAdams are up to these same tricks as West Valley City and South Salt Lake are the ONLY cities on their short list to accommodate their expansion plan.  Governor Herbert secured the funding/tax breaks, as usual.  There's something fishy about this funding deal.  Wonder what McAdams, a Democrat, did to get Herbert re-elected?  Maybe this $20 million deal is compensation in a close election?  And media outlets can't even agree on the price tag!  One report says $10 million and another reports $20 million, give or take a million, or 10 for that matter, who cares?  Steve Eliason, and McAdams with his "talk to the hand" backroom deals.  Now Mayors of West Valley City and South Salt Lake and their residents and business communities are reeling from the locomotive racing toward them.  Members of these communities say they have been "put under the gun", yet McAdams says, "they've been transparent and are listening to people's input", yet their only invitation was to Salt Lake County's Site Evaluation Committee — comprised of county leaders, homeless services providers and other stakeholders, who will stack the room and pitch their plan claiming that Communities who house these facilities, "are welcoming, safe for all who live, work, and recreate, receive services or do business there".  And, "neighborhoods with a high concentration of homeless services offer access to employment, job training and positive activities during the day".  May I just say a word?  BULL-CRAP!  This committee language should be no surprise since a handful of the entities on the steering committee have first hand experience with the Road Home Homeless Shelter downtown.  Anyone who knows anything about Pioneer Park knows what a problem the residents of the homeless shelter are!  I know!  I had a business downtown 50 yards from the Homeless Shelter and a block from Pioneer Park!  It was bad for business!  Our only saving grace at the time was Gateway Shopping center, and when that went belly-up because everyone jumped ship for City Creek, that was the end of my business.  I want people in West Valley and South Salt Lake to know this will be very detrimental to business owners despite the tripe Utah Government leaders tell them.  It's was a constant battle trying to make sure my surroundings were clean and appealing so customers felt safe.  Scouring the property for needles, liquor bottles and beer cans, condoms, and the trash they left behind, including cardboard beggar signs, (one sign blamed Obama for putting him out of work).  I got a kick out of that one as they weren't afraid to tell the truth.  Make no mistake, it will not produce the results in the flowery language above, that's only meant to make you feel better about it, or brow-beat you into it!  The truth is there are real numbers associated with the financial burdens to cities and the cost to the community.  It isn't an "unknown"!  Salt Lake City should have been asked for documentation to furnish to West Valley City and South Salt Lake so they could determine if it would be beneficial to their community or to determine if this is a risk they are willing to take.  There is no excuse for not furnishing them with this report, but maybe there is, because not one of these city governments were given the slightest clue this was coming!  And I suggest the residents of these "blue collar communities" vote ALL of these people out of office.  Ben McAdams is famous for saying, "I was elected to make hard choices", NO Mr. McAdams!  You were elected to represent the people, and your not communicating with them on the up and up and pushing your predetermined plans has got to stop!  This is just more of the same from Ben McAdams, he's set a track record for these types of shenanigans.  It's always the "cart before the horse" with him, and the taxpayer's in these communities are going to have to eat what he's feeding them.  Check the codes for a recall election! 

 

My sources tell me there were a thousand, or so, people at the meeting at the Cultural Center in West Valley last night, and this was a last minute meeting hoping the community wouldn't get wind of it and not show up.  Tonight's meeting is scheduled for the State Capital from 6-8 p.m.  Why not have another meeting at the Cultural Center in West Valley?  It boarders South Salt Lake and maybe even the folks that camp down in the river bottoms will come.  The business community has been lobbied by County leaders trying to sell this proposal to them, but as reported by the media it's a tough sell.  From experience, I can assure you, all their fears will be confirmed, and all the problems they currently have will be magnified.  And again, talking from experience, the government doesn't care about your small business!  They are only concerned about picking winners and losers, and putting money in their cronies pockets, and that doesn't include small businesses.  You will have to suffer the loses or foot the bill to risk a move.  Another thing you should know, especially if you are a West Valley City resident or business owner is that, West Valley City already has the highest volume of Emergency Medical Calls in the Salt Lake Valley, with the exception of Salt Lake City.  The increase in these types of calls will put a further burden on this public service paid for by the property owners within the city limits, and I guarantee you the call volume will increase!  Like I said, I was a business owner in downtown Salt Lake City and was a witness to the activity.  It goes without saying that the cities police force will also experience a higher volume of calls, South Salt Lake ditto.

 

I hope you'll all try to attend the meeting at the Capital tonight, if you can't attend contact your Utah Legislator and tell them you oppose the expansion of the Homeless Shelter they've renamed Homeless Resource Center.  Use the links for contact information and resources.  Help put a stop to this freight train that wants to unload it's cargo in your community.

Update! 

Today Draper Mayor Troy Walker, along with Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams, held a news conference to announce that Draper City would like to volunteer to house one of the new Homeless Shelters slated by the Utah State Legislature and Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams, renamed "Community Resource Center".  The proposal was welcomed by Utah House of Representatives Greg Hughes who also helped drive the legislation.  The press conference took place March 28, 2017 around 2:00 p.m. at the Salt Lake County Complex.  The video below contains the proceedings of the press conference.  Listen carefully and pass it along to your friends and neighbors.

Just a few thoughts regarding statements that were made during the press conference.

Draper City does not currently fund the Utah State Prison.  They will end up funding the Homeless Shelter expansion, as Governor Herbert has only allocated a $20 Million Dollar one time incentive, there is NO continued funding.

Operation Diversion, which violated the Fourth Amendment, has only been successful at obtaining TWO individuals in drug rehab therapy!  (I have personal knowledge of this).  They rounded up many, the media reported 90 individuals, but the results are shabby, and it just pushed the problem South to Utah County.  Just beware Mayor McAdams is touting, he and Sheriff Winder's entrapment "dragnet" as a success, it was not!

If you've read my other posts you will see that my prediction of bringing TRAX to the new Draper Redevelopment Project is true!  Transit Oriented Development is coming your way.

Some other good suggestions as to how to combat this problem are coming from the people themselves.  May of us believe that service to our fellow human beings should be facilitated by the compassionate service of religious organizations or the private sector not the government, as this new agency known as "Community Resource Center" will be.  A great suggestion was made on the County's website suggesting a smaller, more close to the community approach be implemented.  One person wrote:

"Mayor McAdams,

I am Robert Kaiser.  I have a unique perspective of what to do about homelessness in Utah.  The plan to build shelters is terrible, and will not work, and will be expensive and controversial.  I have experience in this matter and have a solution.  Instead of thinking shelter that cost money, think small and medium sized co-ops that cater to specific areas of need that provide short, mid, and even long term living space for those that need it.  Instead of just housing people, those in the co-op can help each other overcome what ever is causing the homelessness in the first place.  Although it should probably not be a money maker, it certainly would be self supporting with people paying small amounts and working in the co-op if not able to pay for themselves.  Various organizations could sponsor the type of co-op that suits their needs. mostly for space for single men and women, would be the greatest need, but also struggling families would greatly benefit from the synergy of a secure co-op.  Ones that cater to those with addiction and alcoholism, as well as gender issues, and juveniles.  This would mean that the only shelter that helped the homeless would remain where it is, downtown, acting as an intake and emergency shelter, in bad weather, assigning most of those needing assistance to co-ops within a day or two.  This plan actually solves your problems, instead of creating super expensive government warehouses that nobody wants.  You will have these beautiful self-supporting communities that are an asset to the area around them.  Creating affordable solutions is the best route out of homelessness, and I believe, that co-ops are the best solution." 

 

I am sure there are other solutions better suited for our communities.  Get the real "stakeholders" involved and you might just come up with a solution.  Remember, Draper is just added to the list of options.  If you listen to McAdams in the Press Conference Video he says this.  No one is off the hook.

The Open House in Draper will be tomorrow, March 29, 2017 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in Draper City Council Chambers 1020 East Pioneer Road Draper Utah 84020 801-576-6500.  Public Forum for comments is only available for those with an account. 

 

Update:

The Meeting for March 29, 2017 has been moved to Draper Park Middle School 13133 South 1300 East Draper Utah 84020   

Update:

Although Draper and Bluffdale residents turned out en-mass, media reports 1000+, Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams is taking the whole bag of marbles to his meeting with Utah Legislator for Homeless Shelter expansion despite Draper Mayor Troy Walker rescinding his offer to house the shelter.  Draper offered two sites and Mayor McAdams is going to run with it!  Like I said earlier, Draper's two sites are just being added to the list.  The decision is supposed to be made today, the committee has been given the dirty work to save McAdams' A$$!  This trouble with this whole debacle is that it's all codified into law, thanks to the Utah Legislature and Governor Herbert who signed the legislation.  Our only recourse now is to get this legislation rescinded.  Can we do it?  That is the question.

 

February 12, 2019

There have been reports circulating on YouTube that Homeless across the country are disappearing.  In some cases this is true.  My research has found that most of these reports are associated with U.S. "Natural" Disasters such as Hurricane Katrina (Louisiana) Hurricane Harvey (Texas), and the California Fires, The Camp Fire in Paradise California and can be substantiated by eyewitnesses on the ground.  What spurred me to update my story on the Homeless in Utah was continued accusations from a Utah based radio host in southern Utah saying he is getting lots of email from people across the country saying, "the homeless are disappearing, but I don't have any proof that it is happening".  My guess is that it's getting him hits and playtime, but he hasn't provided any proof yet.  This host has a popular YouTube Channel and website where he would be able to start some sort of database or poster wall, like the one started organically by those who lost loved ones on 9/11, but has not done so.  He keeps saying, "I can't substantiate these reports yet".  This is where his website might come in handy by giving people an outlet to report what they are seeing.  I decided to make a report on what's happening here in Utah, because people in Utah may be apt to say the same thing, "the homeless in Utah are disappearing", when the truth is  they scattered like rats with the deployment of Governor Herbert's brainchild Operation Diversion/Rio Grande (launched August 2017) meetings hidden from the public.  We are, to this date, into it over 1 year, where a reported 1700+ arrests were made (according to KSL5, but Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams told the Salt Lake Tribune it led to over 5000), and it's hard to see positive results in "the homeless problem" in Utah.  With a price tag of $67 Million many wonder if it has been a good use of taxpayer dollars (Utah acquired Millions from the Federal Government to add to its bottom line).  The Road Home in Salt Lake City is set to close by July 2019.  The plan to open three other sites to house the homeless resulted in two shelters in Salt Lake City, one to house women only the other a combination of women and men, and another in South Salt Lake will house only men.  As we all know most of the families are housed in Midvale.  The fact is, the controversy continues, and the initial article I wrote confirms most of what I reported came to pass as evidenced in my video Operation Diversion/Rio Grande One Year Later.  I hope you'll visit the links for more insight into what is being reported, and I hope it will put Utahan's at ease concerning claims about the homeless here disappearing.  This is our situation although there are legitimate reports across the nation their claims can be substantiated, problem is, we need facts, names and numbers would go a long way in solving this mystery.
