or still work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated to keep the congo these people under control. the king set up the so called forest bleak which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country and its inhabitants, fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals . the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet use, and as proof presented a job hand of an african, it was not uncommon when drying to justify the use of the munition. the colonists amputated the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide. you know, late 20 years, the policy of the belgians laid to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside the holocaust. the genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the

great mister pages in the history of mankind. the suite, the nice the what so striking, so means this contrast. but in california, where are some people that so rates and other people are very low making, and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states. that there's what about for, for i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income than all of us together. there's a, there's a gap is becoming smaller or is growing all it's growing. i don't know, they only want a handful of people. uh, controlling everything they want to keep the blended there. plus under this sunday,

your son's control people's that's a way of controlling people, you know, power and money. everyone should have had these housing foods, you know, health care, education close, you know, stuff, you know, things like that. yeah. and a little extra so you could maybe go to the movies or go out to dinner or something on a little vacation. you know, he's doing the to the whole dance with the yeah, i'm 77 and i don't get enough daily enough income. but i have a affordable housing. it's called affordable housing, but they keep raising their rents, but they don't rent that. they don't keep, they don't raise my income to match, you know what i mean?

my social security retirement. so do come here to make so much down in the money. yeah. supplemental you know what i mean? from the very last job i have was security. but i've done many things i've, i've been an optician, i've done security. i've been a secretary, i been a forklift operator. i've sent them different things and you are working all your life right. well, you know, from the 17 on us. yeah, i've been, i've been waiting for housing for awhile like around 17 years. and um, how come home, personal care? and the salvation army they got together and they got me a room for a year. so you know, which is pretty good because you know, now i don't have to travel a lot too much and still like be pushy. i had a, i had major surgery on my legs. come on this thing, but i also have a disease and my legs for my blood cells and my most was sweet. and my skin has

a hard time sticking to our legs. so they put these on there to hold it back, produced the big one right here gives you the one that killed him shilling times. so swing around here, this in other words, you know, that really is like, i don't know, that's what a lot of slough muscular homeless then. then the houses don't, you're not in california on the telephones. where are you from new york one year, you know, and so you can see it for worth talking with facts because of my girls tend to take the little overdose. all set over goes and have to come back in a great home. so you don't pay, you know, a lot of people are there enough enough that i don't even know what the fuck is. it's all just crazy. a lot of my friends, homeboys and hospitals that are different options and our job is, is, well, i think we can handle it to new systems again as well. you know, then i'd strongly minus. and if you want to be realistic, realistic about the problem regarding it where the problem really lot. and that's

where the drugs, the drugs, is where the problems lies and legalize this met the like i said, method bettany and other drugs to a misdemeanors. what good did that do is to just help them to be able to do more drugs easier because the fear before it was a fear of a felony going to jail, do it for, is it time or whatever the case may be. now is just a ticket. that's it. you catch him sitting on the side street endangering children's wise like smoking is crap out. me. ok. can you give them a ticket and to walk away? what, how is that changing anything he just goes gets more and just does it again. i

said we don't care or respect the human of the human race, but when we may make laws and decided, oh, they're only a misdemeanor. now it's no big deal. it is a big deal. sorry to hear you say you're from london. yes. rhetoric just outside of london. yeah. what's the name of it? it's yeah, nice to me. and what do you think about that today says here and what's the weather? so definitely notice there's a huge difference between the rich and the full on new existing. well, i didn't know existed to the level of did i know it's very high, i'm experiencing it 1st time. this is, you know, there's quite trouble. i've heard so i've heard of skid row. i was, i don't know much about it that i've heard so many people say they're going to bring it into a good role and help the people that that's been there since the 1960 we're in 2014 or, i mean we run around other countries like is your country, do you need some help?

do you still grow? and they'll help you know what your money and do a bunch of stuff to help your people get better. and then we look into and then you guys come over here is why i touched everything. oh, perfect me being away. and so much of that. so why i've seen it all over the past 20 on 29. now the oversee grew up watching american television. all of that stuff in what we see on the screen here is like, oh sorry, from that is more like a perfect image of everything. but we still go in depth and searching stuff up and seeing what was that she got. i don't completely different story. i guess. what's really interesting use people here. oh, much more neglect. it's been over that. then i can just see i've been every single state who i speak to some years in over the last years. what was what used to be a partial problem, a few families here and there. now it is be solved is such

a big problem. ringback so we're kind of at the, uh, you know, the heart of skid row, we're on 5th then. well, so on the north side, that's a mission. they have room for our own 600 people party to families. you know, you don't see it, but there are a lot of children on skid row. they try to keep them inside. know we have multiple themes from homeless held guard to the community health project, doing valuable work, going around distributing non canon fentanyl districts because that is a significant number of overdose. us that happened daily, you know, schedule like a lot of people, you know, don't understand what actually schedule is 54 blocks quote. and the funny thing is right, the middle of skid row is a police station. and one time when i was there, i saw a 2 dude arguing amongst each other. one shoots the dude over the dog and watch the

way in the bodies laid out there until 10 o'clock the next day. why? i don't know and there's a police station, right? across the street and this was, that was right in front of the midnight shelter. after i saw that i, i just left, i decided not to be down there. so there are a lot of people who are struggling with mental health issues on the schedule. a part of that is because um, you know, whole mess us by itself is so much trauma on people site keep that, you know, regular people just being on the street end up with a mental illness. but then also because we have such a fractured health care system in the us and a big part of it is having really no support for people with mental illness. so the way the hospital system works after the initial days, the state doesn't pay for the care of patients. so what the hospitals do is they medicaid them and they dropped it. i'm off on skid road. that was

a hospital vegas that was car dumping. 1500 patients with the 500 on skid row, 500 in sacramento, and 500 in ad tucson, arizona. most of the time when i'm out here, i'm not even flying for money for itself. mostly just out here, just people watch you like watching the television. oh is. oh, good, interesting television because there's a bunch of weirdos in these in 8th or hold it in words. it almost looks like walking zombies from the movies, like it's going to pop up in the i don't know. but now, but being on the real to barnett, it's back. no, it attacks the muscles were the, it basically start filling up with water. it also attacks the strength and in their body, where they can keep steak a straight body up. so they're basically fold it in half. have a slip, right?

no real sleep in a bed laying down with a shower or anything like that for over over 8 days. past employee of delirium. i'm now as a point of just totals exhausting and frustration of to i can't get a hold of my family holidays. 4 years old and i looked like them probably 60 because of what the streets of done is i. it's tiring. oh, so tired. i tried to go to the hospital cuz i got these stores. when my hands from the shit they're putting in the, in the, in the medicine and the drugs is that you know, i don't, i don't use anything needles or anything like that. i don't understand what's going on with this. you know, it's, and it's only select people there. they're destroying me, little bits at

a time where rather disturbing the military, i was with the marine corps specifically more so a little bit in libya, smaller. you have the people in small, we treat each other better than we treat each other. i hear on the street survey. this is the most wretched group of people i've ever met in my life. and i wish that there was a button, you've been pushing, it would exterminate all divides all the bad people who hurt people what 0 get raped in the only way. and when i tried to get the guy off of her, i was attacked by his home boys. they broke for my ridge. uh, they split my lip open. i mean, like they supposed to be a pretty good excuse my language. the sole sensor bare is just children with the little uh like, uh,

maybe a furnace kind of thing. is movie smoking like smoking of it don't need to be afraid and cho yates. so i'm fairly see in your lives because this person, this person in light says and now you're going to go and do that just because he's your friend and you want to be accepted. recognize, seems for low understood is all the really everybody wants to sometimes some people go buy a weird way of trying to get it is that everybody's inch as intuitive or salvage that everyone has all the skills and all the gifts and the ones that don't we need to be loving and patient and understanding instead of hating them for what they're doing. actually notice and then maybe it might be a different story. is kind of cute,

being short stubby like sometimes you don't even know where to go sleep, watch it. you know, you to walk into a town, you don't know where to spot is. don't know where you could pop it up to be safe. still not just surface place, you don't word world, it's made of cloth. and easy, nice could cut through it. but what they don't know is i don't how to my girl. she's the ones that type of word that because i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm not violent. i don't like being, i don't like violence, but this was the question, is she? she has a couple of what they call uh, she calls the retreat. kirby don sticks where she's not afraid to come out of the tent and bash it. most of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home. it's where

i lived every single night. the, [000:00:00;00] the difficulty of this thing to notice freshest, especially strongly mobile devices, which is a junior coupled ocean chest. the more to this, to the one for question you want to grow. can you pick what i chose pressed on? could you tell them by somebody

the newsletter to sign up for the to to come out? i still do. it's opposed to the dealership that is actually from social problems. cordova within the or maybe we could do a little interview with oh my god, that's a, that's the call we're here. all right, so you barely hear grateful for me and i'm grateful for that. right?

you have places like this only exist, can you imagine where you will be at least like this? well, you know, this is some of the attendance and the struggles that people go through trying to keep up with the rents. you know, it's a real struggle. and he gets very real, especially when you have family children, you know, can you imagine, you know, what do you go if you cannot afford your ran that you have children? i mean, my heart goes out to moms like her that, that i see her daughter like she's going to school down the street. and i need some beautiful sight to see that. and, and we have, uh, we have my or her as a mom. and we also admire the little child that she's smart. why beautiful, biggest smile. so she brings a big smile to our own faces. you know, i just put them doing well, but we're not affordable housing. and you know,

many people be literally, as you say, living on the streets. i mean, when, when age of, uh bought this building, there were some people that were living here. so some of the rooms kind of just that. so it would be more affordable. but uh, they have certain amount of units that are specifically for people that don't have homes. so we work with them and i'm place them. if we have any openings, you know that you may go to whoever it may be applying, but applications come really fast and, and the fills up fast. we have other buildings that which is bought. and as soon as they fix them, it fills out really quickly because, i mean, the people are waiting for housing for a long time. you know, we have shown this the city that now we can actually provide housing a much cheaper than what the, the city is doing. the city spends a lot of money and the labor, very few apartment units. some of the units can start as low as

a $100.00 compared to other places with the amount to what we offer here. you pay close to $2000.00 for a studio unit with the bathroom and the kitchen area. so pretty much less than half a month, obviously, glass martha was gonna lose her subsidized income through the program. she was in and she wouldn't have been able to afford the rent, but they were gonna put her in another one of our buildings. and she loved it here so much we ended up just trying to advocate for her when she was able to stay. and then we lowered her rent down to the spam so she could stay there. somebody to go. yeah. can you go in any city or state? they have cranes there just over building. i mean,

some of those buildings are left empty and we have, we have enough here of empty buildings that we could put all the people who are on our streets in. but that's why there's always talk. so cities having attacks for having empty spaces, so then they would be more incentivized to, to accept section 8 or take a family in or not look for their ideal candidate. but real estate, i think, is just become this huge way to invest and they're not thinking about housing, people anymore. and i think that's all over the united states. they used to be the teen or you i get i have a sound way and you'd be able to get a house and every, even just be this progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most anymore

the wiley yeah. use my own williams. i love the sea, so my dream is to one day have a place in my own with my husband and be either running and l, coram, or working at one of the court room. yeah. and studying to see you guys, you know, see preachers and taking care of. um i love to see as much as i love dogs. which creatures will be the 1st any mos in your car in there on their dolphins. and any day they have a spot for the crabs and the clams and the, the oysters, you know, just be those. you actually can raise them. and they can give you pearls, clams, and oysters. they get, they can give you pearls. if you have enough sand at the bottom,

the, i'm much more unhappy with that because then i don't get to, to worry about, i got zeros dressers, how about you? you as a human being, how many suppressors do you have? i don't have a list for me as me. i got no, i'm happy exactly where i need to be free for all the lies that everybody cast around likes, parity and then decide you know, one we because you're not so dark, you're ok or more. we do a little more dress nicer. you're all right. judge fair to the role. how people

should look dressed at it, all those aspects. it's going from different forms of braces like my daddy. oh you say keep it simple, stupid. i have one son was or that's totally different story, is that one. i don't know the other thing to add with homelessness in california, but one of the things and again across the board in the us as well. one of the biggest reasons we have this issue is we have a really broken foster care system up to 70 percent of children existing. the foster care system in the us become homeless at some point in their life way. when they exit after they turn 21, they basically have very little access to services. but unfortunately, because the foster care system is so broken and because these kids are going

through so much trauma, by the time they hit our streets, desktop for him, for mental illness, they might be suffering from a diction or they might be. they might be putting situations where a pushes them into into incarceration, which ultimately means that they end up homeless late aim like your income match, the cost of living back in my time, but it doesn't match anymore. in fact i who we get in certain scandinavian countries, they have a cap on there. the minimum that you can get, which is like, i say, a $22.00 to $25000.00 a year. but in, in america there's no cap on how much you can make or how little you can get because you can get nothing or the skies the limits. and they're talking about slash and social security and slash and different things. i don't know why we don't get enough as it is, you know what i'm saying. you were all your life and then you want to retire. but you can't really retire. because uh, i might end up homeless eventually, if,

if there was, if the rent keeps going up, then you know, i may eventually get homeless my own so which i worry about, you know, we, so richter, profit from all this corporations during the pandemic on ebay. now, rick of prophets, we have more billing there is now than ever before. and yet we have more people who are living in poverty and extreme poverty than ever before. corporations control and there's no secret building, there's control, you know, bonded fixing america. so when that happens is every policy that comes out, the 1st thing that is going to be thought about is not the, the, the working class or the people is how is going to affect feelings. and they're getting the by the not in put in us. it gives each other, you know, the republic and saves that democrats. are the enemy, the democrat said the republicans,

are the enemy at the end of the day. the real enemy is the people that are seeing power, you know, and we have a whole bunch of followers that don't see how they have sold us out. it would be a good starter one. so it's not that bad, but it's too small. it would be a good start or would you rather stay in a car by vehicle? yes. rather than. yeah. and i'd have to learn how to drive or you have to learn about the drive. yeah. i don't have my license yet. i've never driven a car in my life. so it's also called strain dream, which is spare change to words, put together. you basically make a sign. you fly, walking down either a median or you sit on a street corner and hope to make money. one way of like the most successful day, i made

a 100 bucks in his corner. sure . yeah, i'd be really, there's a villain, ization of people who are in house and their neighbors are instead of helping them, they are looking at them as a problem in very dehumanizing way. and i think if they would just embrace them as their neighbors, because they are their neighbors and share and be generous. i think the world's and all this circumstance with he'll have to leave you those i for a while like um, bein underneath the bridge and hearing the car. it's susan. you can waste

a lot of energy and time thinking about negative things and not being pause while you're sitting there waste. you know, a lot of time being negative about it, you're missing out in the opportunities that to be there for you. while it's happening. like i said, the worst critics will be yourself. make things harder than what it should be. it's not that it's not that hard to my name. i'm sorry, we're good. oh, pressure for the payment. it's me. i want you to get detail out of here before i end up having to

hurt myself or hurt somebody else or get hurt myself. really the who's coming to that i got attacked inside of the target last night. i just got attacked and had my bike showing it's all by the same people using i'm crazy. everybody else thinks reason for i know it's for a fact. it's not oh, [000:00:00;00] the couple of deena, both of us taking notes in this region, what do you need for distance of the people?

this is the is the volume and gorgeous. joining us to find out how the rich local coal just size see the close crafts and zones does that have passed down from generation to generation the ship to fix here. this thing is the most precious displacement probably mobile device to put to the junior couple ocean. just the more to this to, to the, the machine you want to grow. can you pick what i chose? prestone can install them, but i'm going to the office and moving into the custodial for the to,
