1/
If you want to understand why housing the unhoused is so impossible in this county, please read this thread.



So, let’s get this straight.The guy who runs Housing for Clackamas County, not Multnomah County, is Vahid Brown. We’ll start this thread here. It's a long thread.

 Vahid calls someone on the phone to offer them housing at the new St Johns iteration of Hazelnut Grove. This call wasn’t made due to an application to get into the new HG village. In fact, there are no applications for anyone to apply for housing at the new HG village. Why?
3/ I don’t know. How do I know? Because I called out Do Good Multnomah 2 months ago for seemingly having NO process for conducting fair and equitable admissions for this new village.
Our assumption that it was a “good ol’ boys” network has been proven true, yet again. @VoHpdx
4/
Do Good Mult has mislead unhoused folks in St Johns telling them that they could have a spot in the new housing, giving false hope to current SJ residents who have been residing in the area for years, many of whom were born here. @Advocacy5_PDX
5/ That Vahid used his privilege in such an egregious way, should result in his losing his job. If there is a process, it needs to be fair and open. When I spoke to DGM months ago, they lied to me about having a process to get into HG.
6/There are currently 6 houseless residents who have been inhabiting the area of the new HG village, for months. They were recently swept from that area. Where was their invitation from Vahid or DGM to occupy housing in the HG? DGM also told these 6 people that they could move in
7/but later reneged. No applications were given to any of them. DGM was trying to control a situation they thought they could control. Try to pacify the houseless with false dreams, and continue to roll over them in their fitful sleep. Classy, DGM. It was all a lie.
8/Our houseless our hurt and angry about it. They know they were lied to. DGM used the potential lore of housing as a lie to get the most vulnerable in our community to leave the premises. We,as advocates,often talk about the broken system of housing for our houseless community.
9/And this is why. How does a Clackamas County Hosing Official even have the weight in SJ in this new village process? The gall of Vahid Brown to use members of the old HG as a “nice optic” for the new housing, is disgusting. It’s criminal. And it's negligent. An abuse of power.
There should be a process. Who are the elders who been unhoused the longest? Who are the most medically fragile, esp during COVID? Who has been in a continuum of care for housing which has not been produced, as is most often the case? Who was born and raised in SJ?
11/ That should count for something. This is their neighborhood.

And where is the city and county in all of this? Where is the oversight? Hah. There is none and this just proves it for the hundredth time.
12/Deborah Kafoury and the county who give money to DGM, aren’t involved in this? I know that they are. We’ve had meetings w/ Kafoury directly about the troubling goings-on of DGM.
13/ We questioned if all employees/volunteers of DGM were even given background checks since they have access to unhoused women in their shelters. We never received verification of this but we did get a run-around.
14.And now Clackamas County is involved as well. Well, isn’t this a party of officials making money off of our unhoused communities. This has to stop. But will it? Can it? Who’s to stop it? At least 2 of us have been trying for years to stop this.
15/I know we’ll need a lot more to hold all of these parties accountable. Good luck to us, but more importantly, this will cause further suffering and malady and death to our houseless residents in St Johns and throughout Multnomah County.
16/I haven’t even mentioned the St Johns Community Church which is directly responsible for making between $40-$60K a year off leasing their property to the city for this village. Nor have I mentioned its pastor who is personally responsible for calling for too many sweeps to
17/even count, on the street in front of it’s church and the property for this village. Again, there’s so much to this mafia tale of truth. Where does Rabid Response fit it? Again, more on making money off of the houseless while telling media you are the heroes of the houseless,
18/according to an interview Rabid Response did on Talk Out Loud a few weeks ago. One thing's for sure. There's a lot of $$ to be made from houselessness and this city (and white men) sure know how to do that well in order to move ahead in the field of being assholes.
19/ Would be great to hear the PR against what I've said here from Vahid Brown, Ted Wheeler, Do Good Multnomah, Pastor David from the church, Rabid Response, Deborah Kafoury, Clackamas housing department and the folks on the streets of St Johns.
20/ If you've read this and don't have questions, you aren't paying attention. But you aren't alone. Enjoy the company. As for me, I'm here to answer questions from those of you who have any. I never trusted Vahid since the day we met. I was right about that. And that sucks.
21/ Because when you call yourself an advocate for the houseless, but your vested interest is in looking good to get the next promotion off the backs of the unhoused, that makes you the very epitome of the bottom. And the list I made earlier in this thread? That's who they are.

Zojuist procesverbaal zittingen in deze verkrachtingszaak gekregen. Zeg, @HofDenBosch, jullie LIEGEN echt alles bij elkaar in deze zaak en hebben ook doelbewust uit stukken gelaten dat ik de Nederlandse overheid verantwoordelijk hield voor het ontstaan van deze tweede zaak! 1/ https://t.co/M5KfflDkFJ


Wat ik onder anderen gezegd heb ter zitting?

"Deze tweede zaak kon ALLEEN gebeuren omdat in de eerste zaak geweigerd werd getuigen te horen. Vervolgens is deze getuige mij gaan bedreigen en chanteren. Meerdere politiemeldingen, politie deed NIETS" 2/

@HofDenBosch


"Uiteindelijk kon door het FALEN van de Nederlandse overheid deze getuige mij van mijn vrijheid beroven en heeft hij mij verkracht"

Dat laten jullie natuurlijk weer uit het procesverbaal @HofDenBosch!

Er is ook met geen woord gerept over een 'klacht over politieoptreden' betreffende deze tweede zaak, tijdens de zitting! De AG haalde de verkrachtingszaak uit het niets aan, niet een klacht over politieoptreden betreffende de tweede zaak!


Er was op dat moment nog niet eens aangifte gedaan in de tweede zaak, maar om de een of andere reden wist de AG al dat ik een intake gesprek had gehad! Ik heb de @politie gesproken (opgenomen gesprek), die begrepen OOK niet hoe de AG dat kon weten!

interpret the prominent placement of pedophile #MattHennessee

in

Multnomah District Attorney ceremony and propaganda?

The broken windows theory is a criminological theory that states that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior, and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.

Some initial observations about this case, and in particular what the Court of Appeal made of the Attorney General’s application to refer these sentences as “unduly lenient”.

Spoiler: it makes uncomfortable reading for the Attorney General.


First, by way of background. I was one of several commentators astonished that the Attorney General, who has no known experience of practising criminal law, decided to personally present this serious case at the Court of Appeal.

It appeared an overtly political decision.


Comments leaked to the press confirmed this was a political decision, to capitalise on a tragic case in the headlines.

A “friend” of the Attorney General told the Express that she was pursuing the case *against* legal advice. She also took a preemptive pop at the judges.


On the day of the hearing, it appeared from selected reports that the AG was out of her depth. She appeared to be making political submissions to the Court of Appeal that have no place in a case of this type.


The Court of Appeal judgment helps understand what happened.

The AG played a limited role. She “rehearsed some of the facts and said that the sentences had caused widespread public concern”

Her contribution was seemingly not considered by the Court to be legal submissions. Oof.

Singing the Blues:
Taking Down an Insider Threat

"I had all of the advantages. I was already inside the network. No one suspected me. But they found my hack, kicked me off the network...

...and physically hunted me down."


Many pentests start from the outside, wanting to see how the perimeter might be breached.

This pentest started from the inside. My client wanted to assume they had already been breached, and, if breached, how far could an attacker go.

Could they stop me once I was inside?

So they snuck me in. Disguised me as a new employee. Gave me a work computer, an ID badge, an account in their system... hell, I even had a cubicle w/my assumed name on it.

The only person who knew who I really was was their CISO. Everyone else thought I was Jeremy in Marketing.

During most of the first morning, I completed onboarding, made introductions, and completed menial tasks.

But I had to act quick. I only had a week onsite. I had to hack their network while not raising suspicion.

So I set about it.

You have to understand... most "Internal Pentests" are straight forward. The hard part is breaching the network, but once you're inside, it's a target rich environment. End of Life computers, default passwords, everyone a Local Administrator...

One fascist to watch in 2021 is Joseph Charles "Oakman" Golinske of SE MI. He's been a Proud Boy for a couple years, but took a break recently from the group and promotes himself through the "Oak Nation" channel on Telegram.


Most people may be familiar with him as the tall guy in the Proud Boys bridge shot, from their August 17, 2019 attack on Portland, which featured an American Guard bus trying (and failing) to bludgeon antifascists with hammers.


He was also with his g/f at the time (Dominique Tota, left of Tarrio), and that's definitely a twitter account folks will want to block/report because he posts on it.


He's been plenty active at the pro-Covid/anti-mask/ReOpen protests in Lansing MI, seen here with Jerry Wayne and an effigy of Gretchen Whitmer, who his militia friends tried to kidnap and publicly execute.


Outside of the Proud Boys, his solo "career" with Oak Nation features the same misogyny, classism and gateway to far-right domestic terrorism the Proud Boys themselves feature. Here's him peddling oxychlorinque and bragging about harassing service workers.

महाभारत की कहानी कौन नहीं जानता।लेकिन क्या आपको पता है कि महाभारत के ज्यादातर पात्र किसी न किसी श्राप में फंसे थे।अगर ये श्राप न होते तो कदाचित महाभारत की कहानी कुछ और होती।हिन्दु पौराणिक ग्रंथों में विभिन्न श्रापों का वर्णन मिलता है व हर श्राप के पीछे कोई कहानी अवश्य होती है।


आइए आज जानते हैं महाभारत कथा में वर्णित कुछ श्रापों के बारे में।

1) राजा पाण्डु को ऋषि किन्दम का श्राप

एकबार महाराज पाण्डु शिकार खेलने वन गए।झाडियों के पीछे कुछ हिल रहा था। मृग है सोचकर राजा ने बाण चलाया जो जाकर ऋषि किन्दम और उनकी पत्नी को लगा।वे दोनो रति-क्रीड़ा में लिप्त थे।

जब राजा ने उन्हें देखा तो बहुत दुखी हुए कि ये मुझसे क्या पाप हो गया।बहुत क्षमा याचना के बाद भी किन्दम ऋषि ने पाण्डु को श्राप दे दिया कि जब भी वो किसी स्त्री को काम भावना से स्पर्श करेंगे उसी क्षण उनकी मृत्यु हो जाएगी।पश्चाताप करने, वे सिंहासन पे अन्धे राजा धृतराष्ट्र को बैठाकर...


..स्वयं अपनी रानियों कुंती व माद्री के साथ वन चले गए।पांडवों का जन्म भी कुंती को ऋषि दुर्वासा द्वारा दिए गए मंत्र से हुआ था जिसमे किसी भी देव का स्मरण कर उस देव से कुंती,पुत्र प्राप्त कर सकती थी।एक बार माद्री पे मोहित हो जब पांडु ने उसे स्पर्श किया,उसी क्षण पांडु की मृत्यु होगयी।


2) उर्वशी का अर्जुन को श्राप

महाभारत युद्ध से पहले जब अर्जुन दिव्यास्त्र प्राप्त करने स्वर्ग गए तो वहां उर्वशी नाम की अप्सरा उन पर मोहित हो गयी। अर्जुन ने जब उन्हें अपनी माता के समान बताया तो यह सुनकर उर्वशी क्रोधित हो गयी और अर्जुन को श्राप दे डाला कि तुम नपुंसक की भांति...
