THE FOLLY OF DEALING WITH THE CHINA DEVELOPMENT BANK - A VERY BAD PREDESTINE.

Since 1996; we in San Francisco have seen some despicable decisions at City Hall - and throughout all these years - one former Black Mayor of San Francisco - has, behind the scenes - taken our fair City and County of San Francisco for a ride - in broad daylight - stealing, bluffing, hoodwinking - but; now we must say - enough is enough.

I have reviewed each of the resumes of the Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure - a Commission - hurriedly put together - to carry on some nefarious actions - linked to the Successor Agency to the former SF Redevelopment Agency. Mostly to help Lennar Urban - that so far has a sordid and despicable - track record.

None of the persons on these newly appointed Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure - have the expertise to deal with any Superfund Site.

None of these Commissioners - understand the nature of the contamination and pollution. More radiological contaminants and Depleted Uranium that was first tested on Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in the early 1950s.

None of these newly appointed Commissioners - have any clue about Infrastructure per se - and none of them have lived or studied in detail - the community where the constituents are adversely - affected. Be it at Treasure Island and Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

Being appointed on the Southeast Facility Commission, the Citizens Advisory Committee to the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, on the Commission on the Status of Women, working in some capacity at the SF Airport and tolerating all the nonsense that went on there when Tutor Saliba - raked in million through corruption. Serving on the former SF Redevelopment Agency and being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation - does not do our fair City and County of San Francisco any - good and justice. Such Representation is anathema to decency and Quality of Life issues.

The least the Mayor, Ed Lee could have done is introduce the candidates at a forum to the community at large. Hand picked to do the - "dirty deed" - this action is a disgrace - and a slap to decency. Time will tell.

Treasure Island has issues of its own right now - with power black outs, the worst type of contamination, inferior housing and constant problems with the John Stewart Company.

Those living at Treasure Island have contaminated, tainted drinking water in the faucets - and when anyone brings up this topic - no one pays attention to them.

None of the Commissioner appointed to the Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure - participated in any important meetings all these many years. None of them attended one single meeting when the Restoration Advisory Board was active and attained community goals.

None of these tainted and sordid Commissioners - have walked the affected areas be it Treasure Island, Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, the other areas and developments grandfathered - and brought under the jurisdiction of the Successor Agency Board and now the Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure - to understand the issues at hand - who do they think they are representing?

The composition of the Commission is based on life style and does not give fair representation to members who can represent - families with children.

Again and again we see - life style used to position people on Commissions and other bodies - to foster principles, policies, and act as puppets taking orders from some very corrupt, immoral, and evil - politicians.

The China Development Bank is not offering this $1.7 billion loan to help us San Franciscans - no way.

The Chinese through the China Development Bank are positioning themselves - because they have been led to think - San Francisco embraces such an entity. Rosie, Eddie, and Willie do not speak for the people of San Francisco.

If we are looking for job opportunities - we will be screwed royally - the China Development Bank - has insisted that their lead Project Managers - are in the cockpit at all times.

We have not seen the agreement - and if it in place and does not permit those in charge - to buy American Sheet Rock for example, American made pipes for our Infrastructure, American engineers in charge of the development, American Superintendents, most things Americans must be agreed to - to put the Chinese on notice - from the inception.

Having some entity that builds and operates the Chinese Railway - in the cockpit at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - is uncalled for.

The Chinese are positioning themselves to build the High Speed Rail - from San Francisco to San Diego. A junket was taken to China recently - by Malia Cohen and Fiona Ma - other sell outs that do not have the better interests of San Franciscans and Californians at large.

City Hall must be leery and full aware - that we San Franciscans will not tolerate - bringing in inept, shallow, sordid, untrustworthy, not educated on issues - Commissioners who will  sell out and tarnish the fair name of our City of San Francisco.

Everything is not about money - it is for those that do not practice family values - who mostly practice sodomy of the worst order - and thus anything goes that tickles those areas and functions that give them pleasure and more when they get an opportunity to make money - with ulterior motives of the worst - order.

Both Treasure Island and Hunters Point are contaminated - and those in charge of cleaning these two area - are dragging their feet. We must remember the United States Navy contaminated these two areas - and the U.S.Navy is mandated to clean these areas up - to Residential Standards.

I bet you the newly appointed Commissioners have not read the Precautionary Principle Ordinance.

I bet you the newly appointed Commissioners have not read Proposition P that passed by 87%  of San Franciscans voting in the year 2000 - mandating that the entire - Hunters Point Naval Shipyard be abated to Residential Standards. 

International Technologies in the past stole over $300 million on Hunters Point. Followed by Tectra Tech who wasted and made a lot of money. Now we have Shaw Engineering - but first let us see and study the empirical data - not the nonsense the sell out - say to the Commissioners who are uneducated on issues and naive - more nonchalant and unethical. 

The Citizens Advisory Committee to Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - for the last three years - have been stagnant - because all the promises Lennar, a Rogue Development made before - were not kept.

Now, Lennar is back at it again - this time with tainted, blood money from the China Development Bank and ulterior motives.

Lennar promised to build 10,000 homes at Mare Island and did not keep its promises. Lennar declared bankruptcy and left Vallejo the City that made the contract with Lennar Urban - holding the empty bank.

From 2004 to 2012 - Lennar left Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in a despicable condition.

Weeds growing, the fences in bad condition and falling apart, garbage here, there, and everywhere. If you go today - you can see for yourselves - what I am stating.

How will the China Development Bank deal with Parcel E2. I want each of the Commissioners on the Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure to answer - that question in writing.

I will pose that question and others - as and when I meet them - face to face.

The over 700 acres at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and Candlestick Point  - is contaminated. It is a Superfund Site.

Who in their right mind - wants to build homes - 20,000 homes over 10 years on contaminated land -prone to liquefaction and flooding.

Who wants to live in the middle of Chernobyl - the recently appointed, inept, shallow, and spineless Commissioners - Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure - must answer; decent - family oriented San Franciscans. Aho

COMMISSION ON COMMUNITY INVESTMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE - SUCCESSOR AGENCY COMMISSION

Daily, City Hall has now resorted to ploys and machination of the worst order - failing to endorse the will of the people and favoring Big Developers and high tech companies.

This Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure - was anointed - fast tracked and brought before the Rules Committee. 

Though noticed at the last moment - the public comment was stacked by mostly sell outs - with the exception of Robert Woods and Espanola Jackson who know more about SF Redevelopment Agency.

Lennar a Rogue Developer, and the many projects over the last 45 years - that the now defunct - SF Redevelopment Agency once controlled.

With the demise of the SF Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) - the City and County of San Francisco had two options - first hand over all projects and sites under the jurisdiction of the SFRA to the State of California - for further action.

That included all tax increments and the many Memoranda of Understanding, other properties grandfathered because of unique agreements signed - still being worked on and some very convoluted.

The second option -  the City and County of San Francisco take over all responsibilities of the former - San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and form a San Francisco Successor Board - and this Board has been holding meetings - though irregular - from time to time - trying to make some sense and have failed miserably so far.

The SF Successor Board has provided the constituents and public fiscal documents that were not correct full of blatant mistakes.

As much as - " we the people " - requested the audited documents - these have been slow in coming - from the Successor Board to the SFRA.

When financial documents were presented - and " we the people" - took them to a Certified Public Accountant, a fully accredited Accountant who has worked with Construction and Development, a Developer with over thirty five years of experience - all three entities found - glaring mistakes.

Recently an audit conducted by Sacramento - under whom the Successor Agencies come and report - found further glaring mistakes - and mandated that the SF Successor Agency - correct them. Suffice the present Director Tiffany Bohee of the office of the Successor Agency - has failed and wants to keep the job at any cost.

In over a year - "we the people" - who have attended the SF Successor Board meetings - have never, ever see Theodore Ellington, Marily Mondejar, Christine Johnson, Mara Rosales, and Darshan Singh - attend a single meeting - the Successor Agency Board - all of whom are now Commissioners on the Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure - Successor Agency Commission.

None of the above anointed - hand picked to do the bidding of the Democratic Machine - behind the scene Willie L. Brown Jr., - have not been at any of the Disposition and Development Agreement - (DDA) - to Phase One of Hunters Point - for example.

None of them participated actively with the many deliberations at City Hall at the SF Board of Supervisors - and elsewhere - linked to Treasure Island.

None of them; ever - were present at the Restoration Advisory Meetings to the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

None of them - including Darshan Singh who was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) - have studied the many documents linked to the "Superfund" - that is the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and knows the true history of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and designated - a Superfund Site.

None of the above attended one single Town Hall meeting when the community fought Lennar - a Rogue Developer - who bombarded the community with toxic dust. Lennar was fined $515,000 by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The highest fine imposed on any entity in the history of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

Lennar, a Rogue Developer - whose colors will - never ever change. Lennar's bottom line is making money - not the community. " No good will ever come on Hunters Point - no good what so ever ".

I represent the Ohlone - the First People of San Francisco - on matters of Conveyance, Infrastructure, Development - in short Quality of Life issues.

I do not endorse any of the above candidates - who have no clue - what so ever - what they are getting into - more as Commissioners and they are NOT trusted by the community.

These outsiders none of which reside in the Bayview Hunters Point - purport to be experts.

These Commissioners are but puppets for the MACHINE. Notice the many sell outs who came out of the wood work - to support these inept, spineless, shallow, immoral, unethical candidates - stacked the deck at Public Comment. Efforts made behind the scene by the MACHINE.

These candidates should have held at least one single meeting in the community - no such meeting was held - prior to the Rules Committee appointing them as candidates to the newly formed Commission. 

Now, during the holiday season this matter and faulty process - came hurriedly before the Rules Committee - then sent with "full recommendation" to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

I want Governor Jerry Brown to look into it and more the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I think this matter warrants the applying of the RICO act.

The SF Board of Supervisors voted the candidates in as members of this newly formed Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure - San Francisco, Successor Agency Commission - with much thought and deliberation.

The Mayor swore the candidates as Commissioners - and now just like that; on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 4 pm in Room 400 at City Hall - the lackeys will meet and endorse the nefarious polices of the MACHINE - Theodore Ellington, Marily Mondejar, Christine Johnson, Mara Rosales, and Darshan Singh.

No member will be able to speak on matters mentioned on the agenda - which are important - and which " we the people " discussed at the SF Succesor Board to the SF Redevelopment Agency - Espanola Jackson and Francisco Da Costa on behalf the community - the Bayview Hunters Point.

The others present - who receive money from Lennar spoke in favor of Lennar - the main subject the Sixth Ammendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) to Phase One and the gaping holes in that amendment.

Let me spell out the farce and the exact language from the public noticed Agenda - so that those that are decent - may know exactly what is going on in San Francisco:

5. Matters not appearing on the Agenda:

Members of the public may address the Commission on matters that are within the Commission's jurisdiction and not on today's calendar. Each speaker shall have up to three minutes to make pertinent public comments unless the Commission adopts a shorter period. It is strongly recommended that members of the public who wish to address the Commission should fill out a "Speaker Card" provided by the Commission Secretary, and submit the completed card to the Commission Secretary.

. This portion of the Agenda in not intended for debate or 
  discussion with the Commission or Staff.

. Please simply state your business or the matter you wish the 
  Commission or staff to be aware of.

. It is not appropriate for Commissioners to engage in a debate
  or respond on issues not properly set in a publicly noticed 
  agenda.

. If you have questions or would like to bring a matter to the 
  Commissions attention, please contact the Commission 
  Secretary after the meeting or at Natasha.Jones@sfgov.org

The above restrictions clearly speak to the "fear" of the crooks and the very corrupt. This is America - there is freedom and there is license. Here we have a group of crooks - who are using license to abuse freedom. Depriving the public to speak on agenda items that are - action items. Break the laws laid down - by the "Brown Act".

What are the newly appointed Commissioners endorsing - they were not present at the Successor Board meeting - they have no clue about those deliberations.

At that meeting - the people took part and made pertinent points. There are flaws with the Sixth Amendment - and these new lackeys - so called Commissioners - will rubber stamp - that which has been sent to them - for approval.

The public that attended that meeting - the Successor Board meeting that approved the agenda items linked to the Sixth Amendment - have every right to speak - and others to.

These Commissioners are not REPRESENTING the people - the are deliberately breaking the law - " the Brown Act ".

The newly appointed Commissioners  - are corrupt and are representing the MACHINE - also the crooks who are now at the mercy of the China Development Bank -  the $1.7 billion loan offered by the China Development Bank - that spurs these crooks to sell their souls and " do in " the community.

Wake up San Francisco - if you do not nip these nonsense in the "bud" you will live with the crimes of the moment - for the rest of your lives. 

This land all of it belongs to the Ohlone - sufficient injustice was done in the past - now, the least we can do - is represent the wishes of the people and respect the Ohlone. Not some anointed crooks who have no clue - and will be controlled by the corrupt MACHINE.

Time to call in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Time to exercise the RICO act.

WHO PROFITS FROM ALL THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTHEAST SECTOR?

Who really profits from all the development in the Southeast Sector? For sure not the community but some few individuals who are using the China Development Bank - to rake in the millions - at the expense of the community at large.

Notice not a sound from Senator Diane Feinstein, Congressperson Nancy Pelosi, Richard Blum who is Senator Diane Fienstien's hubby, the other  money changers, more money mongers - too many to reveal in this very short article.

The land - all of it belongs to the Ohlone - the First People of the area and was stolen from the Ohlone.

Eighteen treaties signed between the Ohlone and United States government - were never - ratified. We do have our courts - and the matter did go to the courts - but the justices - are just that - his justice - not worth the salt.

It is shame that exactly where the Hunters Point Shipyard is situated once there were two Shellmounds.

Two hills - the Sacred remains of the Ohlone were reduced to bits and pieces - when the hills were demolished - and the dirt and remains spread all over the Shipyard - as land fill.

We must remind the "diabolical" - those that are greedy and want to make all the money they want - that the "TRUTH" will prevail and that those seeking to exploit and be greedy - just for the sake of being, greedy - will never, ever - be successful.

Being successful is having peace of mind and being healthy.

These vermin that steal - and always so hyper and stressed - they are never at ease with themselves - turning and twisting in bed and when they are awake - the have - " no peace of mind ".

Those visiting San Francisco hardly know much about the Bayview Hunters Point - it is not even mentioned on the tourist maps.

Right where Bayview Hunters Point is situated on the San Francsico, Tourist Maps - there is a advertisement - and the tourist do not even know that is done intentionally.

Once the area is developed the Developers and our Racist City - think all will be well.

All will not be well - there is a FORCE - higher than all the forces put gather - that will deal with the money changers, the money mongers, those that are known to sell their mothers - for a nickel.

Once the word got out that the China Development Bank had loaned Lennar $1.7 billion - one billion for Hunters Point Naval Shipard and seven hundred million - for Treasure Island - all the sell outs started rejoicing. This was their moment of truth - time to make easy money - again.

The Chinese are not fools - they will weigh in on everything - and if you cross them - intentional or unintentionally - they know - how to get their pound of flesh.

The local Chinese are happy too - they think they will get a piece of the pie.

Rose Park is one of those individuals - like Willie L Brown Jr., - they and their petty - mundane - interests come first.

To hell with the poor - those that need help - those that fill their coffers - are recognized - to hell with the rest.

The United States polluted the entire shipyard. Depleted Uranium was first tested at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. Ships that took part in the Atomic Experiments - off the islands of Bikini - were brought to Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and sandblasted - the contaminated material - buried all over the Shipyard.

That is not all; huge animals - used in the Bikini experiments - that died from the Atomic blast - radiated - were brought and buried all over the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

The United States Navy has never, ever been a good neighbor - not at Treasure Island, not at Mare Island, not at Alameda Naval Air Station, and of sure not at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

Who wants to live and make their abode - in an area that is contaminated? Who wants to live in the middle of Chernobyl?

Well, you will be surprised to find - "dummies" - wanting to live - and those that live - will have to bear with the dire consequences - contamination and early - premature, death.

Lennar is a Rogue Developer; that has never, ever been honest.

Lennar had to declare - "bankruptcy" at Mare Island - promised to build 10,000 units and did not keep their word. Mare Island is connected to Vallejo - and Vallejo was expecting the - "tax increment" - Lennar shafted Vallejo and Vallejo had to declare - bankruptcy. Up until now Vallejo is reeling with money problems - and Quality of Life issues have been - compromised.

Who is to say Lennar, the Rogue Developer - will keep their word?  More with the through clean up of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - that is the responsibility of the United States Navy. 

We the people want parcel E2 to be entirely cleaned up. The contaminants dug up, sealed and transported to a safe place - there are placed in the United States - that accept contaminated - materials and soil.

If Lennar is given a clean slate it is on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Regional Water Board, the Department of Toxic and Substances Control (DTSC), the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), other Federal, State, and local - agencies.

The above Agencies must do their work - and if they FAIL - they will have - BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.

We really want to know who truly profits from all the development in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco?

The last frontier is the only land left - and it better be abated - and most of it left - as Open Space - never mind what the Developers think of it. It is also prone to liquefaction and flooding.

WHAT STOPS NEFARIOUS BANKS LIKE CHINA DEVELOPMENT BANK FROM DEVELOPING THE PRESIDIO OF SAN FRANCISCO?

What STOPS the NEFARIOUS - "China Development Bank" from developing - the Presidio of San Francisco?

It is a shame that the huge financial institutions the likes of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citi Bank, AIG and others have brought us to this day - an era where diabolical deals - will diminish - any decency that the United States stands for - on any front.

What stops the diabolical China Development Bank - which has BLOOD on its hands from developing the Presidio of San Francisco? It now will do as it pleases at Treasure Island and Hunters Point.

There is nothing new about the Chinese and large developments.

The Chinese are all over Africa for example - and have built hundreds of large soccer stadiums.

The same model - the same plan - the same team of workers that go place to place and built these large stadiums - to accommodate more than 100,000 fans - and with one blow - have won the hearts of those that are poor and do not know better.

The Chinese have NO BUILDING STANDARDS - they can act fast and tolerate - "inferior work".

They do not believe in process - and will not stand - "stalling" to make corrections.

They hate courts and "court orders" that tell them what they do - and they turn into dragons.

Until now America has kept the Chinese at bay.

The impeding "so called fiscal cliff" - and the bickering among the Democrats and Republicans - have forced the Federal Bank - that has nothing to do with the United States Government - more a " private entity" - to address our dire economy situation - by allowing foreign investment - to flood our Nation - and the deadline is December 31, 2012.

Canada, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Iran, and hundreds of entities in Africa - and a host of other countries are in the pipe line to receive millions - China has trillions of dollars - and wants to buy equity - world wide.

Always; those money changers from days by gone - are behind the wheeling and dealing.

In San Francisco the ' MECCA of BLOOD money" - home to those that have sold their souls to the devil - ploys, machinations, and the worst type of sordid deeds - are being committed. 

Now - the worst type of wheeling and dealing with China Development Bank.

China has a new change of power and those now in power seek opportunities far from home.

The present head of the Chinese Government - has spent time in America - learning some about how we do business. They also know how weak we are at the knees - when it comes to producing thing in the United States - and not paying our workers well.

More at home in humility - when the present Chinese President was young - living the life of a poor Chinese peasant. Therein like the "crux" - our filthy rich have no experience being poor.

The current Chinese leaders are poised to dole America - the same medication America doled - for years - exploitation - using money to make more - money.

The Chinese hold the Ace Cards - daily the U.S. Treasury goes on its knees - and pays our debt - and daily we humiliate ourselves - because of  the greed of those that chose to betray our Nation.

The filthy rich the one percent - should feel ashamed of themselves.

The ones that have - off shore accounts - they are not Americans - they are "traitors" - and our government - continues to protect these - vermin. 

They are in the same category as the "terrorists" - we make so much noise about - no difference.

We have in San Francisco one former Black Mayor who has millions of investment in Macao and the gambling - industry.

As a former Board Member of CALPERS he moved to invest billions in a project known as LandSource in Southern California - using Lennar as a conduit.

 Lennar has it's sordid finger in this deal. Lennar declared bankruptcy - and cut its losses. After the 2008 economic downfall - Lennar reorganized itself - cooked its books - took credit for its former losses including the  LandSource Project.

Came through the back door recouped - and bought back the assets of LandSource and now has made a large profit.

That is how our Government and our U.S. Treasury and the authorities that we consider - monitoring our economy - proffer  those that are diabolical. These diabolical entities - do not pay taxes on all their diabolical so called - tainted investments - and capital gain - shenanigans. 

The many sell outs in San Francisco are so happy that they are salivating and lining up for offers - thinking they will make money - when there is no money to be made - this time around. The Chinese will not dole out - without some pound of flesh - so this time around be careful - they will get you - if you pull a fast one.

Kenwood Investments and Strockbridge Capital Group, the Emeryville based  Prometheus Group, Wilson Meany cannot match the diabolical ways of those that lead China Development Bank - behind the scenes.

Not too long ago the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco was interested in buying the entire area - known as Executive Park. Those now ruling China - were interested in this deal - but the deal fell through. Why?

The U.S. State Department wants a parcel of land in Shanghai to expand the American Consulate in Shanghai. A City that has rich connections with foreigners - the British, the Americans, the French, and so on. The Chinese governments refuses to accommodate the State Department. So, just like that the deal fell through.

What stops the Chinese now that they have signed this deal - and for all practical purposes control the projects - the are so heavily investing in - from building their Chinese Consulate - at Candlestick Point?

What has the United States State Department to say about this?
I guess Hillary Clinton could not care less.

Of course not a word from our two hags that Represent - on this sordid deal - Senator Diane Feinstein and Congressperson Nancy Pelosi.

For sure both their campaign coffers will be filled - a couple of hundred million dollars. A few more thousands for more - plastic surgery to prop up the two hags - make them look like "Chinese dolls" - sans their hair do.

What stops the diabolical Chinese government - who ply in harvesting organs from those that speak against that government and its lack of humanity - committing unspeakable atrocities on those that stand up for what is right and the truth.

What can you expect from those that have no standards?

What can you expect from perverts? 

What can one expect from those that have no morals?

What can you expect from those that will sell their souls?

Finally what can you expect from those that are " money changers" and have been for generations - that will sell their mother for a nickel? Think!

What prevents the Chinese and their diabolical partners in crime - from developing the Presidio of San Francisco and other more pricey and well suited lands?

The Chinese can well develop - Naval Air Station and its surround ground - complete with deep waters and a well suited port to bring in their goods? The Chinese want it all - and the have the money to wheel and deal.

The Chinese will NOT adhere to our local hire and all those rules and regulations - that is not how they are.

Of course our perennial curse and political henchman will step in - the Black Politico - and just like that - there will be silence and the rules and regulations - will go out the door.

The paradox is this - Treasure Island for all practical purposes - has not been transferred - "in toto" to the City and County of San Francisco.

The Treasure Island Development Authority is in limbo.

Treasure Island is sinking and prone to severe flooding and liquefaction.

Visit Treasure Island today - December 13, 2012 around 10 am and see six and seven feet tall waves pound the island.

The U.S. Navy has yet to clean the island - contaminated with thousands of  - what is known as - jettisons.

Only Parcel A has been conveyed at Hunters Point.

Lennar was fined $515,000 because we the community took them to task - for bombarding the community and causing immense - harm.

China Bank and China Development Bank's Fiscal Oversight Committee - knows little - about the power of our Courts and and regulatory agencies. The Environmentalists who are NOT asleep at the wheel - and will hold the feet of these bloody rascal - to the fire of justice and fair play.

The U.S. Navy has yet to abate parcels B, C, D, E, E2, UC1 and the other many parcels - and convey them to the City and County of San Francisco.

On E2 if the U.S. Navy decides to cap that area - all those who live on Hunters Point - in the near future - will be adversely impacted.

E2 is that feather in the cap of the Ohlone - the First People - that the "greed bastards" of old - did not ever think would come to bite them in the - butt.

The remains of the Ohlone have been spread all over the Shipyard as part of the landfill. The Ohlone cry for justice and restitution - the Chinese do not believe in such things - they are ruthless bastards who kill people who speak up against them - commit untold atrocities and are NOT - to be trusted at all.

The deeper anyone gets into bed with the Chinese Development Bank and the diabolical Chinese decision makers - the deeper we Americans - those or us who have served our Nation - fail in our duty.

We must not sell our values - our humanity - our standards - our morals - to those that deem to make money at any cost.

Believe in " money making" - by any means necessary - a god. In America - at least the America I know - we do not and will not worship - "mammon". Aho.

What prevents the Chinese and the Chinese Government from developing the Presidio of San Francisco? 

Decent San Franciscans want to know.

THE LAKE MERCED FIASCO AND WHO WILL CLEAN UP THE CONTAMINATION CREATED BY THE GUN CLUB?

Most of us who have been at Lake Merced - do not like what we see the Boat Club - that was falling apart that is undergoing some upgrades -now. The decaying piers that are now pulled up from the lake - giving Lake Merced a better appearance.

Most San Franciscans are not aware that we are fortunate to have a large watershed - much like a huge lake underground that the City has used before in large measure - but not now anymore.
A watershed from the Presidio of San Francisco by Lobos Creek all the way to Lake Merced.

Closer to the Cliff House some of us have seen the two Wind Mills - now restored and looking good.

These Wind Mills are about an eight of a mile from Ocean Beach - at one time they provided clean fresh water - to replenish - all the young plants and trees linked to our famous Golden Gate Park. A jewel of San Francisco visited by so many tourists and of course San Franciscans. What a joy to see this canopy from the sky.

Most San Franciscans are not fully aware of two lakes that are a manifestation of the large water shed - San Francisco is blessed with. The first one at the Presidio of San Francisco - Mountain Lake and the second of course Lake Merced.

Both Lakes at one time provided fresh water to the Ohlone the first people of San Francisco: www.muwekma.org

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission owns the land and Lake Merced. Moutain Lake is owned by the Presidio of San Francisco and the Presidio Trust.

Paradoxically; Mountain Lake has received funding to clean up the Lake that has been contaminated by run off from the Highway and dumping by some folks that do not know better.

Lake Merced has received more attention with volunteers spending thousands of hours to clean up the Lake Merced and improve the water quality.

There still is a major problem with the near by Gun Club - continuing to use their "firing range" and contaminating Lake Merced and the water shed with - lead and other dangerous contaminants.

The Gun Club recently went to court and bought two more years to do more damage. At the end of the two years - for sure the Gun Club will be evicted. However, the contamination will not be their  responsibility to clean  - the burden will be on the owner of the land formerly the Water Department and now the SF Public Utilities Commission - and its nonchalant attitude when is come of the many parcels of land it has - and in some cases the unsavory use of the land.

It helps a little that the SF Public Utilities Commission has recently hired some better and knowledgeable staff - to make a sound inventory of all its land and facility holdings - and hopefully revisited the leases and have a better, half yearly reporting to the SF Public Utilities Commissioners. I would like Chair, Art Torres to take a lead on this pertinent - issue. He could be aided by Commissioner and former Manager - who has an institution memory - Anson Moran.

San Francisco Park and Recreation was charged at one time - being a sister agency to the - then Water Department - now San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - to do the right thing - and conduct activities for the betterment of San Franciscans - its has failed - miserably.

Over the years - SF Park and Recreation has ignored pleas to rehab the Boat Club, monitor the better interests of Lake Merced, and do justice to its agency.

SF Park and Recreation has failed   - by NOT serving the people and protecting the assets that contribute Quality of Life issues. Pandering to folks that have taken control of our Soccer Fields and privatized them - in certain neighborhoods - keeping the neighborhood folks away. Trying to destroy Beach Chalet and ruin a landmass so unique - one of the best sites to view the stars on a dark night. This by proposing to flood the area with FLOOD LIGHTS and adversely impact the neighbors, the creatures, the disorientate the birds and so on. SF Park and Recreation has lost its mind.

It is years in the making that SF Park and Recreation agreed to Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Land Lord San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and SF Park and Recreation - but the negotiations and procrastination - have taken years - and this is a crying shame. In the mean time - we have reached a saturation point - and those at the SFPUC like those it charge of Communication - are a lost for words and have no viable action plan. Wasting their time roaming the corridors, with no sound action plan - worth the salt - to carry on short and long term - objectives.

Lake Merced is a jewel and it is time the Phil Ginsberg agree to do what he must do representing SF Park and Recreation - failing that SF Park and Recreation must vacate the area.

The facilities and related recreational facilities and activities at Lake Merced - boating, rowing, fishing, swimming, and a host of other water sports - can be transferred to a private entity that can easily shame the arrogant, spineless, shallow - Phil Gingsberg - who has ruined SF Park and Recreation - in recent years - during his short and sordid - reign as General Manager.

Yesterday, December 11, 2012 the SF Public Utilities Commission had an agenda item on Lake Merced.

Some prominent, decent, hard working, and very astute mostly Seniors - gave testimony. What they testified was not pretty - SF Park and Recreation and towing the line - SF Public Utilities Commission - dragging their feet.

A Work Shop is in order and with sound outreach to all the constituents of San Francisco - nearer the Boat Club and Lake Merced .

We do not want the Gun Club and other nefarious entities to stack the work shop and bully those that have volunteered and kept Lake Merced  - healthy. In the given circumstance - those that are holistically cared and help restore Lake Merced should be allowed to give testimony freely without any undue interference.

The SF Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) - Communication Department must first understand the history of Lake Merced, then have the ability to contact and gather the right facts - and help SFPUC overcome and lead. Right now they do not have that ability.

Unfortunately, this Communication Department has seen a deterioration of  leadership with those in charge of the Communication Department having no clue about history.

Less having the ability to discern, uneducated on issues, hiring folks who are NOT from San Francisco - and failing decent San Franciscans again and again - on major projects and issues.

We saw this yesterday with this issue linked to Lake Merced and also the outreach done with Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) - CleanPowerSF.

SFPUC  outreach linked to CCA is a disgrace - and blatant injustice done to District 10 and 11 - where the City and County of San Francisco - has with intent committed outrageous acts and fostered contamination and pollution.

SFPUC has been part of this history and the time for abatement and mitigation is - now. CCA must incorporated the adversely impacted community - how, they do that is on them. If they do not they will have to deal - with a reality check. Make no bones about that.

SFPUC has a habit of hiring Consultants who do not have the better interests of San Franciscans - shafting us -San Franciscans remote control .

Pandering to these inept and shallow consultants - new hires from outside San Francisco -  employed by SFPUC and its corrupt Human Resources Department - who do not have the best interests of San Franciscans -  what is worse are not educated on - issues.

As the Director of Environmental Justice Advocacy - I will shed light where they is abject darkness. Make no bones about it. Aho.

Some of the good folks present at the SFPUC meeting:

SHENANIGANS LINKED TO THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE SAN FRANCISCO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY.

The Southeast Sector of San Francisco more Bayview Hunters Point is the last frontier.

The crooks have all lined up now to attack this land with new release of monies from China Bank and other dubious sources.

This is just one of many shenanigans that have been in the works - that will fall flat on its face.

Suffice to say the Successor Agency to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) - has failed since the demise of the SF Redevelopment Agency - and its premature - availability to conduct business - without the proper decorum and less ethics.

Meetings linked to the Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment Agency - have been cancelled and the audited fiscal documents - that should be reported  - NOT available to the public at large.

The SF Successor Agency to the SFRA has a Board that is left in the dark.  Documents submitted at the last moment - and the few documents submitted full of errors.

We have submitted these documents for second, third, and fourth opinion. To Certified Accountants and they have said the mistakes are pathetic and disgraceful.

Then to Developers we know we over thirty five years experience - and they say - what a mess.

To others in the business of developing, construction, and operations - and they all - unanimously say - the documents are - flawed and what a waste of time and money.

Add to this diabolical situation and pandemonium; we now have a Commission on Investment and Infrastructure to the Successor Agency - all handpicked and beholden to the corrupt and sordid - MACHINE.

At the last Rules Committee a slew of crooks came to give testimony as to the fake expertise of the candidates - none of whom have any concrete knowledge of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, less about the Transbay Project and the on going problems, of course the sinking, prone to flooding and liquefaction - of Treasure Island.

As I said before - we few; who attend the SF Successor Agency Board Meetings - have had great trouble having access to the audited documents - the first and second time around - the documents had glaring mistakes.

After that the Direct Tiffany Bohee - chose to stop making these documents available.

Even Sacramento the the Agency that monitors the Successor Agencies all over California - found faults that the SF Successor Agency - had to correct and which were acknowledged - at the last meeting held December 10, 2012. There is more to come.

Lennar a Rogue Developer has fallen flat on its face and from its inception has lied to the community at large. There is nothing - holistic about Lennar - they want to push for Land Banking - using the most notorious methods - to make a fast buck.

 Lennar's - first amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) - included "Rental Units".  Hardly had the DDA been announced as in place - Michael Cohen the then Director of the Mayor's Office of Economic Development and Work Force - declared it was not possible to include - "Rental Units" - and just like that the rental units - were wiped out - from the DDA linked to Phase One - at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

There are plans afloat to build over 20,000 units at Hunters Point Naval Shipard and Candlestick Park - with all sorts of machinations and ploys attached to the conceptual - plan.

Close by Cannon Construction has build some good condominiums and cannot sell them. The same all over San Francisco - money is tight - and the local banks - do not want to loan money - unless you surrender your equity for little money.

China Bank and other fiscal institutions have been given some lee way in recent days - by the Federal Reserve Bank - and the same large fiscal institutions that raped the Economy of our Nation - are at it again. Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citi Bank, the same crooks that did us in the first time - around.

The paradox the tax payer bailed the large fiscal institutions - and now the tax payer and more since the down fall of our economy in 2008 - is still being royally - shafted.

With the pretext of the impending "Fiscal Cliff" - the devil is at work - and anyway you look at it - the public at large will be taken for a ride. Developers have lined themselves up - but, this time around the public at large - will not be taken for a ride.

Lennar, a Rogue Developer - now has an Epiphany and now wants to be a good neighbor.

We have heard it before and have been witness to something - other than the TRUTH and the better interests of the community at large.

The newly formed Commission; more the candidates - linked to Investment and Infrastructure - have no clue about the three DDAs linked to the Transbay Project, Treasure Island, and Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

We have handpicked wanabees - picked to be lackeys and who will  fail,miserably - as they have no clue about what they they will do.

The reason is simple the present Board - linked to the Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment Agency - has been groping in the dark. Provided documents at the last moment - and kept away from pertinent - information. The Board members represent those entities that previously received tax increments - such as Bay Area Rapid Transport (BART), City College, the Unions, and so on.

Today; December 11, 2012 at the SF Board of Supervisors - much the same as happened at the Rules Committee with Chair - Jane Kim playing a key role to endorse the candidates and sending them with full recommendation to the SF Board of Supervisors.

Today; that vote sent to the SF Full Board - will be rubber stamped - and the Commission to the Successor Agency will begin its - S H E N A N I G A N S - hand picked - good for nothing - individuals.

The many who gave testimony in favor of the candidates - have no clue what they who they were endorsing - what their duties truly entailed - and how serious the consequences will be.

They all were promised by the MACHINE - more a Mafia Operation - to do their bidding and they will be provided for - for their dirty - deeds.

Such open blatant corruption - in the year 2012 - with morons giving testimony when they have never ever attended one single meeting linked to the Successor Agency to the SFRA. Time will tell.

Lynette Sweet if off the Board linked to the Successor Agency to the SFRA and substituted by Tom Radulovich - who asked some pertinent questions - that no one could answer - at the Successor Agency to the SF SFRA Board meeting - held December 10, 2012 in Room 416 at City Hall at 11 am.

In the year 2012 going into 2013 we have the worst type of corruption - during this holiday season.

Unsavory appointments - more immature, inept, and shallow candidates - to positions that they know little about and are supposed to represent the people.

Not one single, meaningful meeting has been held in the community level with these candidates in attendance. Be it in and around the Transbay Project and that community - that is hurting.

At Treasure Island and that community that is growing and enduring contamination, blackouts, unsafe and muddy drinking water, lack of good transportation.

At Bayview Hunters Point and that community which is the best informed - about these ploys - as was stated by Espanola Jackson, Robert Woods at the Rules Committee held December 6, 2012.

At the Successor Agency to the SFRA by Espanola Jackson and Francisco Da Costa - December 10, 2012 - in Room 416 at 11 am at City Hall in San Francisco.

Mayor Ed Lee continues to listen to the Willie L. Brown Jr. who behind the scenes is controlling this sordid corruption - and always in cases like this - those that need help most - suffer - those that are not rich and those that need good housing and must available themselves - to Quality of Life Issues - our elderly, single mothers, poor folks fallen on bad times.

City Hall is spewing with corruption of the worst order - and we have people looking you in the eye and lying.

Malia Cohen, Tiffany Bohee, Jennifer Matz and a host of other minions too many to mention - all doing the devil's work.

TRANSPORTATION ON THE 3RD STREET CORRIDOR - DESPICABLE - MUNI TOTALLY - IRRESPONSIBLE.

Over $700 million plus was spent on the 3rd Street Light Rail - it begins at 4th and King - and ends in the middle of no where - Visitation Valley.

Once you alight from the 3rd Light Rail and want to proceed to say Mission Street or further to say San Francisco City College or San Francisco State College - west of your location facing north - you must take a bus - and there are no signs at the last 3rd Street hub - giving you any directions.

Millions of dollars were wasted on this 3rd Street Light Rail that is slow, and when the 3rd Street Light Rail arrives crowded and mostly filthy - it is just a disgusting - experience.

The ride on the 3rd Street Light Rail before you alight at Mission Street - so noisy that tourists and decent people are forced to alight and defend for themselves. This nonsense has been going on for so long - MUNI knows about it - and does nothing about this sordid - situation.

Often people are smoking weed on Public transportation challenging the authorities. The token so called Ambassadors - with their Black and sometimes Yellow jackets - nonchalant - looking the other way and doing - nothing at all.

The Chinese immigrants are mocked and stay seated in their seats fearful - as all the pandemonium around them - send chills down their spine. If they say a word they are attacked.

Now and then the 3rd Street Light Rail will STOP - and an announcement made to alight and wait for the next train - because of some break down. The mostly Chinese immigrants - are left to fend for themselves.

The Chinese immigrants now have stopped taking the 3rd Street Light Rail and take the 9 the 9 L, the 8AX, 8BX and other buses - and with this added population - the above lines are over crowded. MUNI planning departments needs to be revamped and those presently there for years - fired.

MUNI the local transportation agency - does not give a damn.

MUNI talks a lot but no one gives a hoot. The travelling public on the 3rd Street Light Rail are fed up and something must be done on a war footing.

MUNI's Planning Department has failed miserably - I know who they are - and in my next article on this subject - I will name them - so that a permanent record is visible and available - to all who are interested on this topic.

At one time we had the 15 Third MUNI bus - and after all these years - people still talk and yearn for the 15 Third Street MUNI bus.

This one bus would take you - from City College all the way to Fisherman's Wharf. The bus went through down town, the financial district, North Beach - with easy transfer stations - any where you wanted to go.

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority is of no help at all.

They spew a lot of hot air - but, in all the years it has been in existence - they have failed. It is time to change the people on the top - they talk too much and leading the field - Jose Moscovich.

An added factor that adversely the ridership on the 3rd Street Light Rail - Safety of the passengers.

Again and again - in broad day light - innocent passengers are assaulted - and as has been noted by the SF Police Department - an inordinate increase in IPhones grabbed from the riders - and stolen. Often time the victims suffering from serious wounds and bleeding.

The 3 Street Light Rail is filthy inside and outside - and the hubs not cleaned and this is a disgrace.

MUNI spends very little money keeping the stations clean sanitized - and this must be done - routinely.

This is how diseases spread - and we do have some filthy folks - who have not taken a shower - in months and there must be a law - to keep such dirty, filthy, stinking - individuals out. Filthy and stinking - they make you - puke.

Plans are afoot to expand the Third Street Light Rail all the way to North Beach and further to Fisherman's Wharf. 

This expansion began with a figure of about $600,000 and now is touted to be in the region of $1.6 billion and growing.

All sorts of shenanigans, ploys, and machinations. The weirdest of explanations given - as the target constantly moved - and those following this project - and left wonder struck, bewildered, and confounded.

In the same vein nothing is happening to accommodate the constituents living at Hunters Point up on the hill. The MUNI buses 44 and 23 are never on time. At night - single mothers, our elders are preyed upon and not a word from Supervisor Malia Cohen who supposedly  - represents District 10.

Malia Cohen does well  - grinning like a jackass. She now makes her abode - living in Potrero Hill - and not caring to walk the streets on 3rd Street by Palou, the Hill and meeting - with her constituents. Despicable.

We need more bus shelters - to help our elders and those that are physically challenged - they should not face the inclement weather - at night left in the dark - to be preyed upon. This is a Safety issue.

MUNI knows about this SAFETY issue - and has done little to help the constituents. Go figure!
