When I first started this blog I thought it would be a few months outlining the progress from being a victim of horrendous crime, to having a home. I was ill equipped for the realities that would surface. Neither was I prepared for the societal responses to predatory destruction inflicted by criminal minds.

Yesterday, on Facebook, I told a professing Christian that people are dying on the streets. My words were: "168 people died on the streets of one US city this year... Austin, Tx,... there are so many deaths nationwide that memorials are being held for those who have perished because they don't have a home."
The response .....
"168 people died from what? No white picket fence?"
.
I despair at what I hear. A society that affords human beings no civil or human rights to a home... even when they have paid for one. A society where so many people equate homelessness to laziness, or unworthiness. A society where billions of tax paying dollars can be spent on wars, but the very second the mention of relief or welfare programs comes into a conversation - it is called socialistic stealing. A society where the well heeled steal from the working class and poor, and it's called "success & free market.".
I often wonder if I hear "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" while discussing the disgraceful level of homelessness in the USA.
In the 4 years I have been homeless, supporting a career criminal, I have read much about homelessness in the United States, interacted with advocates in every country, and many homeless people.
A large percentage of those homeless people do not want a free ride. They simply want what all human beings desire. The rewards of the fruit of their labor... which was stolen by the nefarious in a system that rewards the criminally inclined if they are intelligent enough to hide behind immoral business practices.
That is a REALITY this society is going to have to come to terms with if resolves are ever to be found.
Even though this is only Tuesday, it didn't feel like the beginning of the week when woke up. I thought it was Wednesday, if not Thursday. My ex-boss is fairly depressed, and I don't feel much better myself. This is such a stressful situation.
We couldn't have had a prettier day. In the lower 70's, simply gorgeous. I have been having such trouble with my broken fingers I have tied to stay away from steering wheels, but today it was so delightful I wanted to take off the dirty winter clothes and bask in it. It was picture perfect.
Before noon I drove to Ruidoso to get some supplies and check on possible temporary jobs, applications I had already submitted. With a $100 ad. in the newspaper bringing no responses, applications bringing no responses, and all scheduled work cancelling out for one reason or another, nowhere to live and zero funds left, I'm starting to wonder what can come of this, and my stomach is tied in knots . I am a nervous wreck, and I have never felt so alone in my life.
As the banks repossess people in the USA, places are being turned to crime fuelled ghost towns, and those kicked out are forced to rely on charity to have a roof over their heads. This is what you get with a US president more interested in stealing from the people to give to the crooked bankers, instead of the crooked bankers being put in prison for their frauds.
Recorded from Channel 4 News, 22 December 2011.
It is not just the crooked bankers. It is the evil criminal minds amongst us who prey on others, whether they be, as the rhythm goes, bankers, bakers or candlestick makers. Or builders.
As America's joblessness and poverty remain at a peak, RT's Anastasia Churkina delves deep into the sorrows of the country's middle class to find out if its future is doomed.There has to be someone related to Robert & Sylve Huckins must have some means to reach them, if it be Michael Huckins, Dr.Kenneth Ogilvie ( Diana Huckins? Dominic Huckins? Malcolm Huckins? ) or Patricia Ogilvie-Huckins and get them to return ALL of the money they stole from us so that I can buy a home and get our lives back. I am begging anyone in this family for help.
I don't believe I have EVER witnessed any none violent crime that can be as devastating as stealing someone's home. I am walking in Dorothy McKeevers footsteps, day by day, month by month, year by year.
Liam Griffin, I sat in your law office with two witnesses as you gave me your promise, your guarantee, that our money would be returned before harm came to us.
Patricia Ogilvie-Huckins you were present the day I signed contract with your son. You walked out of the kitchen with Sylve Huckins and your son introduced me to you. He told you that I was the British horse trainer he had told you about, the one he was going to build the home and barn for. Why didn't you say something? There may be a rational and reasonable explanation but I have spent over 3 years, homeless, not understanding it. I understand it even less knowing that though I was a total stranger, both Dorothy McKeever and Sally Canning you KNEW, and you knew what your son had done to them and others.
Dr. Kenneth Ogilvie, I contacted you and simply asked for a reference, not knowing that Robert Huckins was your cousin. Robert Huckins had just stolen over $30,000 from the domestic violence shelter, HEAL, yet everyone was trying to hide it. There was a history of stealing large amounts of money. $65,000 PLUS from Nancy Canning. $89,000 PLUS from Dorothy McKeever, $45,000 from Francis McKinney. The list just goes on and on and on.
Because of Robert Huckins I ended up paying $140,000 to be homeless.. sat in the cold, emotionally, physically and financially broke. In the middle of a recession, with no way to recover the stolen funds.
Today Robert Huckins has his own home...
He also has OUR home.....
He also has a lot of people's money...
And his freedom.
Women are not banks or loan institutions. Women should not be the source of a retirement fund for people who don't want to do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Holding women hostage while playing with the judicial system, a horrendous game of cat and mouse extending YEARS, with the victims whose very homes, families and stability are in jeopardy is cruelty, as cruel as a physical beating. It is financial and emotional RAPE. Homelessness is not justice. It is a slow, painful death.
Please, I beg with everything I have within me, please convince Robert Huckins to stop this torture and return the building fund he stole from us so we too, can have a home.
