American Homeless Land Model Banner

by Kenneth Churchill- Page 17
        Classical laws can be terminated to end the archaic notion that the poor should own nothing. As the lower class grows and the middle class shrinks, the very idea is no longer profitable for the vast majority of the populous.


        This system works in the western world so long as it has a scapegoat to blame for the misery it generates, i.e. blacks, welfare whites, the poor, the homeless, etc. If you don't stand there and let them burn down an occasional neighborhood, how can you cast the blame on them for all that is wrong? And so, the poor must own nothing, most importantly, land. Each new day we greet them with the combat of words and very little else.


        Homelessness is the product of industry, birthplace, disease, and addiction. Industry mass-produces damaged people and society punishes them for being damaged. There is no single solution with which to solve for all people's right to land. A new strategy must be attempted, entering into this new century, followed by trial and error and trial with success. Some people do not grieve over the loss of their technological possessions and the corresponding stress it takes to keep them; they grieve their loss of water, food, and a legal place to spend each night. No matter where they go, no matter who they are, regardless of their age, sex, race, nationality, disability, or reason for not competing in the marketplace, they are homeless. Industrialists keep men, women, and children homeless to scare the worker into working. If they did not do this, bankers would have to do it themselves; perhaps even engage in labor. The blues were born in the fields of labor.
