ALL OVER DOWNTOWN IN SAN FRANCISCO - THE MARRIOTT WORKERS ARE MAKING THEIR VOICES HEARD - ONE JOB THEY SAY - NO ONE SHOULD BE WORKING TWO AND THREE JOBS - TO LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO.











The strike at the many Marriott Hotels -
the workers demand justice -
" One Job should be Enough " 


Not a word from Mayor London Breed and President of the SF Board of Supervisors - Malia Cohen on the on going Marriott Hotel Strike. 

Not a word from the SF Board of Supervisors - it is at a time like this - we must stand in " solidarity " - with those workers who are hurting.

We are supposedly a Union City of hard working workers - what is becoming to San Francisco?

Suffice to say on many levels - thousands of workers - in the hospitality industry - the restaurant industry - are treated like - " slaves " - yes SLAVES.

It is even worse in other States where workers are paid at low as $2.50 minimum wage - and in some $1.50. Of course many of us - are not aware of this fact - but let us focus on what is happening in our back yard.

When one has to fork out $3500 for a one bedroom unit - and over $5800 for a two bedroom unit - it is practically impossible for those working in the hospitality and restaurant business - to live in San Francisco.

They are forced to go to far off places - they cannot use their cars - the tolls are too expensive - they take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) - our subway that is too old.

As much as measures are taken to upgrade the subway in the Bay Area - hurdles one after another - have delayed the upgrades.

Adversely impacting thousands of innocent, hardworking workers. More those working in our hospitals, our restaurants, our schools, our hotels, stores, shopping malls, in places where workers get minimum wage.





ONE JOB should be ENOUGH


The strikers shout out " One Job should be enough " - one job that allows the workers - hospitality workers in this case -  to stay in San Francisco and support their families.

What more can they ask for - we those leaders our SF City leaders pussyfooting around - pandering to the wannabes and entities that are lackeys - pandering to the Living Dead.

Politicians - more political whores - are quick to say that San Francisco is a " First Class City ".

This is not true - anymore - and one way to gauge the situation at hand - talk to the visitors - and ask them their opinion of San Francisco and their recent visit.

It will NOT shock you to learn - visitors " do not want to visit San Francisco anymore ". 

They are sick of the panhandling, the needles from the heroin addicts, the feces in downtown areas, the filth and more - and so nauseating.

What is Mayor London Breed doing? She is running her mouth and when she is not doing that - she is busy spending thousands - shopping. 

That is the state of this person - from the hood - that is catching up with  her.

All the lost time - she experience starving and wishing she has material good - to satiate her warped - being.





Marriott protesters - have taken a stand -
they cannot tolerate the nonsense anymore -
let us see when Mayor London Breed takes a stand -
right now she is busy shopping - eating like a hog.


The visitors to San Francisco - do not like the congestion on our roads - and of course the perennial situation seen all over the City and County of San Francisco -  the ever present  and sordid " abject homelessness ".

It is sad to see our Seniors - our beloved Elders  - spent their golden days living in tents and sleeping under the Freeways and bushes - slowly dying. 

This is no " First Class City " - anymore - it has lost its soul - and the hands of the " greedy " - and those political pimps and whores who sell their wares - to the highest bidder.






The homeless everywhere -
few can afford paying $3500 for a one bedroom unit.


Bribing and buying favors - with grants,  tainted money, drab gifts,  commendations and proclamations - that mean nothing at all.

Our Elders knew better - do not trust those people who speak with a " forked tongue ". More, look you in the eye and lie.





San Francisco City Hall -
where the wheeling and dealing does not cease -
politicians selling out the tax payers 
making hay while the sun shines.


When we advocates go to SF City Hall - more the August Chambers - Room 250 - we are given a measly two minutes to express ourselves. 

The Political pimps more whores - talk and talk and talk - they talk in circles. Spewing hot air - diatribe. They have no soul - they have no life - they are the living - dead.

San Francisco's Carbon footprint has increase by 200% over the last 10 years - the skyline has changed drastically.

Millions of tons of concrete and aggregate - contributing to the Carbon Footprint - and those in charge - of our Environment in the City and County of San Francisco - lying about our City's Carbon Footprint.

Respiratory chronic diseases, heart problems, tumors, stress and despondency on the increase - our SF Health Department has the data - but does not have the guts to reveal it to the public at large - put it on the Internet for all the world to see.

The crooks do get grants in the millions - using the data - hoodwinking and bluffing the tax payers, the decent hard working constituents of San Francisco - daily - in broad daylight.

Our Bay is contaminated and polluted - mercury, lead, and what is more tiny plastic fibers - more, from our laundry and clothing made from plastics - that Mayor London Breed has no clue about - thousands of tons of these tiny particles - adversely affect fish and life in the Bay.

From 4th and King to Geneva Avenue - we have thousands of acres of landfill - more landfill - composting contributing to Methane Gas - one ton of Methane Gas equals twenty two tons of Carbon Dioxide ( yes, 22 tons of Carbon Dioxide ).

Now, you do not hear this fact a lot - what you hear the usual generalities and diatribe. Most people are NOT educated on issues.

How about our innocent constituents, our tax payers, those that are adversely impacted - over 200,000 tones of Methane Gas - a conservative amount - spewing in air - Methane Gas - every single year.

Add to that particulates from millions of vehicles - back to back traffic - Highway 101 both ways - the Bayshore, on Third Street from Arleta all the way to the AT&T Stadium and onwards to downtown San Francisco.

Every area in San Francisco is impact in some measure - over 800 hotspots - register - in our City and County of San Francisco.  All the same homes, brand new homes and units are built at these location - hot spots.

Dangerous particulates more PM 2.5 - dangerous to our infants, our children, our youth, our young adults, our Seniors - those with compromised health - go figure.

Hundreds of  " still born babies " are delivered - the statistics are there - the millions spent to do the research - lie on the shelves. 

Now and then events are held - hot air spewed - the research back by University of California San Francisco, other notable Research Laboratories - the Scientists prefer to get paid to work on the projects - few speak out - more at public forums -with authority.

In the meantime our infants, children, youth, young adults, those with compromised health - are slowly dying - what a mockery of the " system " - that waste millions of dollars - with solutions in sight.

It was fashionable to shout about JOBS - for a long time.

This mantra has been revisited - people now focusing on Health and Life.

All the same - never mind if people worked two and three jobs - and most of them do not have benefits - health benefits.

 Life insurance ,  innocent hard working people cannot afford to pay for their car insurance, cannot buy clothing and food for their children - go to bed hungry - you get the picture.

The disparity in our inner cities is pathetic - San Francisco compared to Rwanda - a Third World Nation - in Central Africa.




Malia Cohen personifies " evil " -
you see all of it - in this photograph -
she has failed to represent in any capacity -
more, representing District 10. 
She will be termed out soon - good riddance of bad rubbish.


More and more in San Francisco - we are seeing candidates run for political positions - folks like Malia Cohen - candidates who are not interested in children and families. 

These folks many of them transplants from else where are here - because - they adhere to a certain life style - that they could NOT practice in the open.

Here in San Francisco we allow it - we permit it - a mentality that is detriment to our way of living - decent San Franciscans - who care and have worked hard - Quality of Life Issues.








Turtle Island 





The Ohlone at the Presidio of San Francisco



Our ancestors more Native American - I like to point out and  say " indigenous " - always, had deep spiritual values.

Often times I sit down with them - and explain to them the details " situation " at hand. 

Issues linked to SF Planning, Land Use, Permits, the Accessors Office and the early maps of San Francisco - how the land was stolen and so on and so forth.

The SF City General Management Plant - the protocol linked to Sacred Remain, Shell Mounds - reviewing historical atrocities committed - and retribution and promises made - but never kept by the United States Government.

Empirical data counts - history repeats itself - but many have little knowledge linked to history that matters - they think they know - but do not.

All the time - while others steal, pillage and use some as a dirty rag - giving them stale bread -  then get rid of them - much like any dirty rag - tossed in the bin.

The Strangers - those that killed millions of Buffalo for their fur coat and not for their meat - piling hills of rotten flesh - and disrespecting - the " indigenous " people of the land.

Closer to home - thousands of Ohlone women were raped, children killed, the atrocities are many - and these facts -  must be address on every level - Local, State, Federal and of course at the United Nation - and the International World Courts.

The Redwood trees - the Sequoia Trees - thousands of year old - old growth forests - cut down and decimated. We know about these atrocities - but few put in in perspective. Let us not rewrite history - to suit the whims and fancy of the White person, and Black sell outs - who have NO soul. The Living Dead.

Let us NOT get side tracked by Proclamations and some mundane actions - that may pacify our feelings - that are short lived.

The larger issue is very deep respect and honoring our ancestors. Talk to the ancestors, the Elders - listen more - and do not fall for money, grants, and some mundane things - that do not rank in any placing of import - among the ancestors.

You hear it less - as the years go by - and it is our ancestors that were here in San Francisco and the surrounding area - for thousands of years.

The Sacred Shell Mounds are like Acupuncture Points - much like the Pyramids, huge Mounds doting places all over the world - there is more to Mother Earth - than greed and more greed.

Those in power at City Hall are dividing the people - working with those that are NOT educated on issues.

Working with those who do not have their heart in the right place. These minions cannot take anyone to a better place.

They are not leaders - they do not know the way, less can show the way - and for sure cannot go the way. 

Think about that for a moment - then think how best you can participate in matter that can better Mother Earth - aways respecting the Elder, our ancestors - who preserved and protected Mother Earth of thousands of years.

We must stand shoulder to shoulder with all Brown and Black - and in doing so have a Blue Print - agree to a consensus - that brings us all together.

The indigenous people have lived on this Earth - for thousands of years - and traveling worldwide - I have spent thousands of hours - interviewing and photographing the situation at hand.

Again and again and when many show NO respect - because they have NOT done their homework - they have not prayed sincerely and asked for qualified guidance from the Elders that matter - not those that position themselves - having NO spirituality.

So when people - fake leaders get to the podium - they say what they want to say - and most of it makes NO - sense. 






A few pristine places left on this Earth.




The Black Hills of North Dakota -
Sacred Land of the Lakota Nation.


Recently when I went to North Dakota - more to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lakota Nation - to honor Chief Standing Bull and other Lakota leaders and its people.

I saw first hand what the " strangers " can do and have done - when it comes to Natural Resources - the many adverse impacts.

Water if Life.

Here is San Francisco - the SF City and County of San Francisco - brings Sacred Water - all the way from Yosemite.

This water - clean drinking water was mostly meant to drink.




Hetch Hetchy Valley - Yosemite -
which provides San Francisco its drinking water -
some 160 miles away from San Francisco.





Four huge pipe-line -
now reduced to three -
water mostly flows by gravity -
here and there - powerful pumps used to pump - to bring 
the water all the way to Crystal Springs Reservoir -
then to San Francisco and stored in large reservoirs -
one at University Mound, the other Sunset Reservoir -
and there is more.


Today millions of gallons - water from Hetch Hetchy is used to flush our toilets.

Go figure - these monsters - the Living Dead - as some - not educated on issues -  adhered to - grants, money, gifts that perish, fake Proclamations that have NO clout - actions that benefit the " indigenous people " - thousands of them - matter.

Federal Recognition counts, health facilities and cultural facilities that can accommodate hundreds counts,

Aiding those that have fallen to inebriation and addicted to Opioids counts.

The indigenous people - have suffered a lot - and these trials and tribulations - must be brought to an end.

Each and every time - I go to visit the Indigenous People of the area - at Yosemite - Mariposa - the Elders hand me - Sacred Water from the confluence - the Sacred rivers - and that matters to me - most. 

Water is Life. Aho.
