American Homeless Land Model Banner

by Kenneth Churchill- Page 2
        The oldest message of recorded world history is that Man always seeks someone else to do his work. Knowing that they would need vast labor in its cheapest form, Industrial Capital bought out farmlands, combined farms or sub-divided land and permitted governments and churches to hold regions and keep them empty of people. This forces agricultural people into wage labor, when previously, they had worked for themselves.


        Forced into the cities, the worker was no longer free to retreat to the common lands. He would be arrested as a trespasser. Today the worker, along with the poor, are both trespassers. If they don't pay up on mortgaged property, (which is Class A tenancy) they forfeit all rights to the land. There has been no way home ever since.


        The original British industrialists set the policy of the Western world when they bought out the common lands to Ireland and forced people that had land rights into tenancy. They then sub-divided the land into small agricultural plots, creating the need for one high yield crop. A blight killed the potato and half the nation of Ireland starved to death.


        Industrialists let that happen. They offered no food assistance. They let the Irish die and showed their power. Here we see that when a man has land rights, he feeds himself. When his right to land has been stolen, he needs social welfare.
