MORE CORRUPTION AND LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ON SAN FRANCISCO'S HUNTERS POINT NAVAL SHIPYARD IN THE BAYVIEW.

The United States Navy continues to defy the constituents in the Bayview Hunters Point area. Again and again adversely impacting the constituents - who pay taxes - while the United States Navy - continue to defy the constituents - this type of attitude will NOT fly for long.

The United States Navy has with intent exposed thousands to hazardous materials during the War Efforts.

Thousands more were exposed to potential hazardous materials -  in many of the trips made by the trucks leaving the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - with toxic dirt containing - high levels of radioactive elements - the U. S Navy defying the community - and not abiding by Safety and Health standards.

Some crooks from Colorado think they can come into our community - and ferry off thousands of tons of very toxic dirt - right through our community - using the U.S. Navy as a conduit.

These same crooks and very corrupt people think they can hoodwink the community. The have no clue that we have the information and are monitoring them - very closely.

The crooks think - we the advocates and others will sit and watch the crooks -  as they do - as they please.

Some of us have had patience with these nasty crooks - who will do anything to make money. More money on the back of the community; foster the worse type of greed - forgetting that the community bordering the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and beyond has already suffered a lot. No more.

The United States Navy polluted the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - of which it has full control - and that includes the most toxic and contaminated site or parcel - E2.

Much of the contamination from the many experiments the U.S. Navy conducted during the War Effort - World War II. 

Many experiments linked to the Atomic Bomb - and for sure - experiments using Depleted Uranium that was first tested on the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

For the naysayers we have the empirical data.

We have a rail facility that can contain the worst type of contamination in containers - doubly re- enforced and rail the containers to the sites outside California. This proposal and much more has been made available to the United States Navy. I have address this issue to the folks from Colorado. To date they have NOT contact me.

What stops us from blocking the gate - and stopping all work?

We do not want truck carry very toxic and contaminated materials - through our community. How many times should we say that - and why should we be pleading - when we are in charge of our backyards. The U.S. Navy simply does not get it. 

Perhaps initiating a Congressional Hearing will fix the problem.
The Republicans are ready to initiate such a hearing - since the present Democratic Representatives - the like of Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstien have let us down.

We have a company that can rail the containers to the sites that store the contaminated - contents.

These sites that store the contaminated contents - can also do the necessary remediation and long lasting safe storage.

The train hub - within two mile from the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard gate - has all the necessary operations as I said; and  is within two miles from the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - gate.

The contents can be railed safely - away from the heavily populated areas the truck tend to ply - in close proximity to the co community - putting children, Seniors, others in harms way.

We find it difficult why Keith Forman who represents the U.S. Navy; who has been dealing with us in our community cannot comprehend - such a simple plan; a route - which should satisfy the U.S. Navy and the tax payers.

The U.S. Navy always loves to circumvent the right way of doing things and favors giving contracts in the millions to crooks - circumventing the process, not following protocol - as it has done many times before - and it now wants to do the same - this time around too.

The tax payers should be the entity that should be appeased after all these years - adversely impacting thousands of innocent people.

 The U.S. Navy simply does not get it - it should satisfy the tax payers - which should be the sole purpose of any of the remediation - abatement, mitigation - in the on going clean-up which is full of pit falls.

The U.S. Navy has not cared to read - less follow the Precautionary Principle. Again and again its in your face - blatant discrimination - will not fly.

The community does not trust the U.S. Navy - the City and County of San Francisco - has given the U.S. Navy too many chances - looking the other way - while innocent people have been exposed to dangerous elements.

The U.S. Navy has compromised Quality of Life issues - not only on Treasure Island but her at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in a big - big way.

These folks from Colorado better not intimidate the community - we already have explained our position - the community has suffered a lot - and they cannot take it anymore. You are put on notice - and make no bones about it. This is not Colorado - we can and will sue you.

Our local truckers can do the work - as much as the U.S. Navy and the folks from Colorado want to use outsiders. That is not an option - the U.S. Navy knows that but does not want to abide by the rules and regulations.

Those most impacted by the Superfund Site - must be helped first - our local truck drivers - other heavy duty operators - and of course the many technical experts and Local Business Enterprises - that the U.S. Navy fails to give opportunities.

Outside truckers - who have nothing to do with the community - and do not care about the manifest they carry, are ready to do the bidding of those that are NOT from the community -  we are watching - and the time to act is - now.

I am watching these ploys and machinations like a HAWK!

I am asking Keith Forman to stop playing games - having meetings at the Lane Street YMCA to pull wool over our eyes.

The folks that gather to listen to the U.S. Navy at the meetings held at the YMCA on Lane Street - are all sellouts.

The decent folks who use to attend the meetings - are fed up with the lies of the U.S. Navy. I have said this to the face of the U.S.Navy trying to prolong the clean up and mitigation of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

For years we have tried to work with the U.S. Navy - who with intent have curtailed; brought to a halt - any meaningful discussion - including abolishing the Restoration Advisory Board that genuinely represented the community and all San Franciscans at large.

When the RAB did so much - and I know so much about the RAB and the many deliberations - because I use to attend the RAB - meetings. Now the RAB is no more - and the U.S. Navy is having a great time - making hay while the sun shines.

The U.S. Navy cannot and will not be able to fool - all the people - all the time.

The mostly Blacks on the Citizens Advisory Committee who are anointed to monitor things on the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - are inept, shallow, and do not know anything much.

Less about remediation, abatement, mitigation and less about radioactive elements in high levels.

The CAC is so dumb that right now they are being bombarded by 
Asbestos Structures - high levels - right in the area where the have their meetings and have been having their meetings - at the TRAILERS - by the Shipyard Gate. Right on Parcel A.

Readings as high as 45,000 structures per cubic meter have been recorded - and the fools keep visiting the area, breathing the air - and think nothing of the hazardous - situation at hand.

That is how dumb the CAC members are.

They are killing themselves - while pretending to help and represent the community. Not knowing what they are dealing with - imagine being surrounded by Asbestos friable in such large quantities - and not knowing what they are dealing with?

They idiots just have to get the reports from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Request it from Amy Brownell who is in bed with them -  and works for the SF Health Department - and has chosen with intent to work against the community.

Barbara Gracia the SF Health Department Director knows about this but has not done a thing.

Our City and County of San Francisco does not have a Toxicologist. One reason they do not have one - is that any sane Toxicologist could call the shot and reign in the many - crooks.

Amy Brownell has failed again and again to disclose to the  CAC and to others who should be informed about the high readings lined to the Asbestos friables. This information about the fribales - the empirical data - that reveals the TRUTH and the prevailing situation at hand.

Lennar bombarded the entire Parcel A - the only Parcel that has been transferred to the City and County of San Francisco - part of the Hunters Point Shipyard.

The San Francisco City and County; which in turn through the esrtwhile SF Redevelopment Agency and the now Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment Agency - transferred it to the Rogue Developer - LENNAR.

The Commission on Investment and Infrastructure - the policy making body working with the Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment Agency - has been asleep at the wheel - more ignorant and arrogant -  truly speaking they have no clout - beside being inept, shallow, and spineless.

All over the area surrounding Parcel A - are found high readings of Asbesos Friables - the workers who are working in the area are not told about this issue linked to high readings that adversely impact the workers.

The have been NO - Notice of Violations - for the many times the high readings linked to Asbestos Friables have been - recorded.

The workers who are not educated on issues - are putting themselves and their loved ones - in harms way.

Such nonsense can only happen - because of the mostly BLACK sellout on the Citizens Advisory Committee - has learned little from those that have tried to educate them.

Soon each one of them will pass away - much like Willie B. Kennedy - who did not pay heed to my warnings. Much like those at Treasure Island who are being told today - what I wrote about 15 years ago - about the contamination on the man made island that is sinking. When will sane people ever learn?

Most of these sellouts think they will make money. They make make some - but die before they get to enjoy it.

" NO GOOD EVER WILL TAKE PLACE AT HUNTERS POINT NAVAL SHIPYARD".

The land has been desecrated by those that spread the remains of the OHLONE -  after demolishing to nearby hills - and spreading the remain with the dirt - DESECRATION.

There has been no APOLOGY and less restitution.

Those wanting to develop the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - the most contaminated land - a Superfund Site - may clean it - but nothing good will ever take place at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

 I have said it 30 years ago - I say it now - and you all mark my words. Aho.

MISDEEDS OF THE ERSTWHILE SAN FRANCISCO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - IN THE BAYVIEW HUNTERS POINT - PROMISES MADE AND PROMISES BROKEN.

The Bayview Hunters Point at one time rose up to support the Fillmore also known as the Western Addition.

The SF Redevelopment Agency in the 1960s took upon themselves using the law - called Eminent Domain - where thousands of Blacks were evicted.

Their homes taken - using a tool called eminent domain - by a Racist person - in the name of Herman Justin. He and those who worked for him - blatant racists. All this in San Francisco.

The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency that has since met its demise - took part in this very horrendous project and sordid action.

As I said that adversely impact thousands - mostly Blacks.

Hundreds of American Japanese lost everything - the homes and all in their home - they were carted away and incarcerated - a singular atrocity that cries to heaven for justice. We must not forget this history - and always remember - history repeats itself.

I fought tooth and nail to get rid of SF Redevelopment Agency - and I am proud that I was one of those that got rid of this cancer - that still lingers - under the names of Successor Agency of the SF Redevelopment Agency and the Commission on Investments and Infrastructure.

Few today are fully aware that many went to live in Single Residency Occupancy (SRO) hotels in the Tenderloin - in other places - just to survive. Innocent folks impacted by the atrocities committed by Justine Herman and his thugs.

Many of those adversely impacted - from the removal from the Fillmore - were Middle Class and had sound work ethics.

Something lacking in today's Black community - caught in the culture of violence, drugs, and selling out their community.

There is no leadership - and even at the demise of the so called leaders - no one worth the salt - can speak the truth and say truthfully - that the leader who passed away - followed standards, was truthful - did not participate in crooked ways - they all do - as if it is normal to cheat, steal, and bluff.

Other Black from the Fillmore in droves moved to East Palo Alto and of course near by Bayview Hunters Point.

Hunters Point still has many of those who came from the Fillmore - only for some of these Blacks - later generations to forget - where they came from and who embraced them in their moment of need.

Many of them have learned nothing much from that trauma - experienced by their grand parents - and in many cases their parents. Today they follow the BLINK culture - drab and mundane.

Right now real gentrification is going on in the Bayview Hunters Point.

The Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment Agency and the fake Commission on Investment and Infrastructure - that work hand in hand with the Successor Agency - and is the arm that makes polices - continues to adversely impact - thousands.

On the Commission of Investment and Infrastructure you have anointed by the City - folks who have NO history of the Bayview Hunters Point, less contributed to the Bayview Hunters Point; all these many years - fake representation and shallow decision - making.

These sordid folks anointed to the Commission on Investment and Infrastructure - pretend that know some - and continue to make decisions - despicable - that adversely impact those that need help - most - more when it comes to sound housing, open space, and good career - jobs.

It does not matter - if advocates at City Hall - those who sacrifice and attend the meetings conducted by the Commission on Investment and Infrastructure - inform, speak to the truth, and try to help the community at large.

These ignorant and arrogant - Commission on Investment and Infrastructure  listen, hardly - and make rulings that defy logic - but what is more - adversely impact the indigent, the poor, those that need help but get nothing - nothing at all.

Seldom mentioned the Polynesians - they are treated badly, and they have done so much for the community and San Francisco - all these many years. Today, one of the communities most suffering from evictions, lack of good jobs, deprived of Quality of Life issues - the Polynesians - more Samoans.

In all of the once San Francisco Redevelopment Agency sites - blatant discrimination and unfair practices - have occurred.

Many Public Housing residents told to leave for failure of having their leases in order.

Once may be the lease was in the name of someone in the family - from a past generation.

Some how of some reason the lease was never transferred to someone to has taken the responsibility, pays the rent -  failed to transfer the lease - from some one who passed away or no longer resides in the unit. Such cases and others have been used - to evict - residents.

No compassion shown- many given a month's notice - other ploys and machinations used to - evict innocent people - so that they have to face the inclement weather. Those more with children - these type of actions - are uncalled for.

Bevan Dufty and Trent Rhorer try their best to do something - but they have no time to address the many issues that prop up - and there is no one - many a time to bring these cases to their attention. I have brought a few cases to their attention and got the help. I count these blessings. But, as I said - hundreds of other - some with complicated reason - have no representation and what follow is destitution.

The Supervisor from District 10 - Malia Cohen - the laughing jackass with that red lipstick that does not suit her - can laugh and grin on she wants - but she has failed to Represent - and must go - fade into oblivion.

In other cases the Successor Agency is just learning of leases made in association with other partners - 5600 Third Street and 5800 Third Street - other complexes.

In the above case justice has not been done to the people of the Bayview Hunters Point and from other areas - who have moved into these Below Market Rate (BMR) units.

 Some of these sites were deemed abated - but there have been cases of people dying from cancer. One of two have died - within six months of moving to these sites and Below Market Rate (BMR) - housing units.

It is worse at Alice Griffith Public Housing - deplorable conditions - one agency blaming the other.

The sell outs bused by Dwayne Jones and Angelo King - to give fake testimony now have fully come to the realization that they were taken for a ride.

They sold out the community for a piece of cheap, cold pizza and some cheap soft drink.

Now they are suffering and now know fully - who was on their side - and who is not.

Nothing much will happen at Alice Griffith soon - and when it happens - much like what is happening at Treasure Island in some parts.

People will be exposed to contamination - Asbestos, Lead, some high levels of Radioactive Elements in high levels.

Those who continue to live there - will be adversely impacted.

It is the same at Huntersview and the units where people live and are suffering from serious ailment besides the prevailing Respiratory Diseases - in large numbers.

Another Housing Complex called Northridge Cooperatives, Showview, All Hollows, the other complexes on the Hill - those living on Kiska Road, and Mariner Village - all suffer from contamination - cancer of all sorts - and the prevailing Respiratory Diseases in very, large numbers.

Even down hill the Oakdale Public Housing  - more on Navy Road - next to Parcel A - has the same issues beside violence, drugs, prostitution, and other petty theft - that are prevalent in all of the above sites mentioned.

In all of sites named above innocent people have high cases of Respiratory diseases, cancer, burning of the eyes, headaches, lack of sleep, migraine headaches, all sorts of ailments - that doctors who see them - attribute to the environment.

Most children, youth, and even young adults are hyper - the cannot concentrate and focus on their lessons - in the trade schools when given opportunities - on the job - and take to drugs and other forms to numb their erratic - feeling and emotions.

The City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Health Department and one Barbara Gracia, the Environmental Protection Agency - Region IX - and Jared Blumenfeld - the Controller and Ben Rosenfield, the City Administrator and Naomi Kelly - are aware of the more than 5000 toxic hotspots - in and out of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - but there has been no Blue Print - with short term - long term goals and objectives - to abate, mitigate - and clean up the areas - more to Residential Standards.

Our innocent children should not be treated with disdain and if they are - some one has BLOOD on their hands.

It does not help that LENNAR continues to permit workers on Parcel A - where the Asbestos Readings are high - over 35,000 structures per cubic meter - and no Notice of Violations - and less work stoppage. 

The Building Inspection Department is asleep at the wheel. They have no qualified inspectors to inspect, evaluate, and enforce justice where all sorts of standards are not maintained - many laws broken - many standing ordinances broken.

No one in our City seems to enforce the Precautionary Principle:

http://www.precaution.org/lib/pp_def.htm

The City knows about high levels of Asbestos and other contamination - should get the information from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

Other departments such as the Environmental Department within the SF Health Department - Amy Brownell - no one seems to give a damn.

If with intent - innocent children, Seniors, others die - and those in authority know about it - then you will be charged with knowing about these factors - and do not look the other away - as do - many cowards.

Do the right thing and God will Bless you.

Side with the devil - never mind how much money you make - you will die and suffer for the rest of you life. Aho.

All over the Bayview the many diseases are taking a heavy toll of life - cancer and other chronic diseases on the increase.

Everyone is talking about this and that - but no one has the guts to do the right - thing.

All life is precious and must be protected - more by those in authority - who know what I am talking about - there is empirical data to back up the many statements I have made in writing and have spoken at City Hall - this is the City and County of San Francisco.

San Francisco and the neighboring areas belong to the OHLONE  - we must remember that - more ponder - about how the land was stolen after the First People took care of it and left the land - pristine.

What is pertinent and of paramount importance - respect the First People of the land.

All others are strangers - other indigenous people welcome - but always remember - you are in the land of the Ohlone - Aho.  

The Precautionary Principle as best as it can be explained:

NOTHING GOOD CAME AND WILL COME FROM THE ACTIONS OF THE DEAD - SAN FRANCISCO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - NOW REPRESENTED BY THE COMMISSION ON INVESTMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE - IN THE FILLMORE.

You would think that San Francisco would take a stand for what is right - after the blatant Racist - San Francisco Redevelopment Agency - adversely impacted over 100,000 African Americans - that I will call Black. This all happened in the 1960s and continues until today.

Blacks were removed from their homes - from the Fillmore also known as Western Addition and forced to live in Single Residency Occupancy (SRO's) Hotel - in the Tenderloin.

Left there in filthy conditions - many Middle Class Black Families  - to die miserable deaths.  Most took to heroin and such drugs - others drank themselves to death.

The pain on the loss of their homes was too much to bear - and there was no one to help them. Those that are alive and know what I speak of - know that I speak the TRUTH.

The author behind the racism one Justine Herman. The Justin Herman Plaza must be named - Black Holocaust - and the many crooks - including BLACKS - named on the plaque - for all to see and bear witness.

That is when the name is changed - to Black Holocaust Plaza. I hope that will be soon - for the message has to be sent - loud and clear.  Justin Herman was a Racist and so are those that helped him and continue to help his policies today - many of them - BLACK. Aho.

Many BLACKS moved to the Bayview and found succor in the Public Housing there.

Other moved to far off places like East Palo Alto - and few know about this. Others stuck it out - through trials and tribulations.

The Victorian homes were placed on trailers and moved to other locations - they are now owned by mostly Whites - but few know the sordid story of the homes.

Prior to that most of these homes - were owned by the Japanese.T his untold story - should be documented in detail - to expose the Racism - blatant Racism that forced thousands of innocent American citizens of Japanese ancestry - into concentration camps.

Yet during the same war - singular Japanese units - fought with valor - and up to this day - their stellar battles are recalled - all for the Nation that betrayed their fellow children, women, and men - who were still held in concentration camps - while they shed blood on the battle fields - all over the world for America.

Much like the facts I am recalling - is the track record of the very corrupt and on going corrupt practices by Tiffany Bohee - who heads the Successor Agency to the dead - former SF Redevelopment Agency.

Leroy King is old now and about to kick the bucket. Much like Willie B. Kennedy who recently passed away - leaving no legacy - and being a sell out - so are folks like London Breed who was on the SF Redevelopment Agency and is now the current Supervisor for District 5 - all she does today - is sell out the community.

Talk about representation - London Breed is a disgrace to anything - decent.

Imagine the SF Redevelopment Agency with the help of Leroy King and another sell out that you hear little today - Francee Covington who was also on the SF Redevelopment Agency - giving YOSHI's and some other choice crooked entities - over $100 million - all these many years.

All the activities from the Fillmore Center - truly were meant to enhance the lives of the people in general in the Fillmore and for sure the Blacks who fought for so much - and in the bargain lost so much.

In the end today - most everything is a JOKE - and most of those who taught they had something - are left holding the empty bag.

The word "Jazz" originated in the Fillmore. Jazz and Jazz musicians have met me and told me in person - about the Harlem of the West - that was the Fillmore.

Today, what goes on at the few Jazz clubs - is just a passing shadow of the past.

People who go to the Fillmore to see the many activities - the many Barber shops, the dance clubs, those plying their trade some savory and other not - but, they were good times and there was music in the air.

Blacks owned their restaurants, their own motels because Blacks could not stay in the other hotels. There was blatant discrimination - and today the Black youth have no clue - and will have no clue - with their focus on BLING and other such - mundane aspects that fleet - away into oblivion.

The paradox is that sell out and mostly Black sell outs the likes of Leroy King, London Breed, Francee Covington, Amos Brown, the Dollar Pastor and a few others - have sold out the Black community.

Taken a legacy that most Black were proud off - and thrown in to the hogs.

It is the same with Marcus Garvey Housing Complex - the many in-fighting over buildings, institutions run by Blacks - more discord, more confusion, more pandemonium - and the situation is becoming - unbearable.

Those stellar Black leaders dead - and moving in the graves. What has happened to the Black community? Where is all this discord coming from? All over stale bread crumbs!

Much like Aurelious Walker, Calvin Jones, Veronica Hunnicutt, Lola Whittle, Doris Vincent, the demised Willie B. Kennedy, Dwayne Jones, Linda Richardson - continue to sell out the Bayview Hunters Point. The paradox is that  - all of the above are - Black.

Tiffany Bohee is half-Black - the Director of the Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment Agency and one of those that keeps the fire burning for all the wrong reasons.

I have know here since those days when she was a peon - working for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. She went to work for Michael Cohen at the Mayor's Office of Economy and Workforce - and then for the SF Redevelopment Agency - and now is that stellar CROOK and LIAR - that is in the den - ruling the roost - Ali Baba and the forty thieves!

The Commission on Investment and Infrastructure - that represents the policy making of the Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment Agency - are all incapable of understanding the fundamentals - of the making crooked - transactions - all these many, years.

No one can steal, hide, fail to be accountable, have no transparency and think for a second all is well.

No good will happen at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - even if the crooks today - pour in billions - yest BILLIONS. That project is cursed and will FAIL.

Can you imagine after pouring over $100 million plus into the Fillmore Center - in recent years - the last 10 years - propping some entities to pretend they are doing good work.

Assets that the former SF Redevelopment Agency controlled are now - going to be SOLD - because of very poor management.  The California State government is holding the SF Successor Agency and the Commission on Investment and Infrastructure - accountable.  All hell has broken loose!

Some one must to to JAIL for a long, long, time.

In the interim the State of California is being LIED to - the ROPS reports are tweaked  and have been - tweaked.

Tiffany Bohee has the audacity to tell us that using the State Representatives - folks like Phil Tang and Mark Leno - she will be able to - keep the auditors at Bay.

Yes - let us see how she does it. 

The current Successor Agency to the former SF Redevelopment Agency and the Commission on Investment and Infrastructure - have been less than truthful - millions of tax increment money - has been spent in areas - in years past - where they were not suppose to  be spent.

Even after the demise of the SF Redevelopment Agency - and the formation of the Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment Agency - Willie B. Kennedy - was given a grant in access of $100,000. Prior to that another $500,000 - all tax payers money.

Who was really behind these ploys and machinations?

Projects that were grandfathered in many former Redevelopment Areas - the Church at Ingalls and Oakdale in the Bayview - the Grace Tabernacle Community Church - has been left - lurking in the dark. Promises made by Tiffany Bohee and others - and not kept.

Whoever brought SF Redevelopment to town - should be help responsible - because it need the blessing of the people.

I know Leroy King was a key player - I know that Mary Rogers - opposed the crooks - and she too - did not succeed - really.

 I know this because I use to have long conversations with Mary. 

The Mayor's Office of Community Housing may name a Housing Complex - after Mary Rogers - but there is more to the story. Even today the ploys and machinations are there - for those informed to see.

There must be a line item accountability for all the money spent - millions of dollars - in the name of JAZZ.

Faking it and trying to bring hope and improving the conditions of the Black in the Fillmore - it never happened.

Mostly Blacks were behind the scene - spending the money - I know this for a fact - the Dollar Pastor, a former Black Mayor, Leroy King, Amos Brown, Francee Covington, London Breed - all were part of the dubious ring - that did as they pleased.

Who will give us a report - detailed report about the Fillmore Center.

The lease given to Safeway and the other entities - on what ground - and who has been the entity that benefited from all the ploys? The people want to know - folks like Daniel Landry who has been following the shenanigans for a long time? On another level Ace Washington - Ace in your Face - who himself has become despondent.

These devils will drive you to your death - if you are spiritually weak and do not have the fortitude - to be laser beam focused. Have grass roots support - and are not educated on issues.

Who will evaluate on compassionate grounds the harm done to thousands of Blacks in the Fillmore?

Who will compensate at this very late date - the many who with intent were removed from their homes - by Racists Authorities - and left to die - in this City and County of San Francisco - in the 1960s.

These episodes are akin to a Black Holocaust - more in a place like San Francisco - that smiles on your face and stabs you in the back.

The families - the many Black families who suffered must be compensated. Time for RESTITUTION.

Blacks lost their homes and businesses - and up to now - in the year 2013 - NO COMPENSATION. The documents are there - but the justice and fair play - is playing hooky? What is Sacramento doing? What is Governor Jerry Brown doing? Where is the Federal Bureau of Investigation on this one? Millions of tax payers money - wasted by the crooks - I have named.

I have written about the on going corruption - many times - and more spoken about it at City Hall.

No compensation for these folks who were robbed in broad day light - and yet Million poured down the drain - to prop up YOSHI's and other businesses - that have now closed - and many assets are up for grabs.

Millions of dollars - tax payers money has been wasted and continues to be wasted.

Tiffany Bohee must be removed - making in access of $200,000  plus benefits - while people are suffering and dying - from her actions all over the place.

Tiffany lied and looked the other way while LENNAR poisoned our children.

Do you think we all who fought LENNAR will forget that?

All this in the Bayview Hunters Point?

At least we put up a fight - and brought LENNAR down - forced them to spend over $100 million - and they are now drowning in the CESSPOOL of their own creation.

Leroy King, Covington, London Breed must be held accountable - especially London Breed - the heifer - who thinks she can bluff her way - with sweet talk.

London Breed has NOT represented her community and she knows it. Pandering to the Fishers and other to rake in the money.

Leroy King may deny - and say - that all he did is right.

I will tell him to his face and I am putting it in writing - for the longest time ever - he got paid - he knows that - and he sold out his community - the Black community. I know that for sure.

The Commission on Investment and Infrastructure is a farce - they rubber stamp what they are told to do - Tiffany Bohee is behind most of the Shenanigans.

The Successor Agency to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency is just that - they have no clout - just rubber stamp - what is put before - them.

The first four ROPS - fiscal reports - were audited with glaring mistakes by the State of California.

 No one can fool all the people - all the time.

We the people - know the crooks - you cannot teach old dogs new tricks. Birds of a feather stick together.

The crooks do know for sure and we know who they are. Aho.

Please be educated on issues - learn more how you can checkmate the Commission on Investment and Infrastructure - he Successor Agency to the SF Redevelopment - the other crooks hovering around:

THE DEBACLE IN AND AROUND THE SAN FRANCISCO FERRY BUILDING BY GREEDY DEVELOPERS - OTHERS WHO TRULY DO NO HAVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO.

There are certain players dubious in nature who think they can fool all the people all the time. Mostly developers and investor - who have little to do with Quality of Life issues - more so in San Francisco - and more so San Francisco by the Bay.

The San Francisco Port Authority clearly should comprehend the use of the Port Property and its Assets - under the Burton Act governed by Public Trust Act.

Jurisdiction given to the San Francisco Port Authority - to use these laws in a fair and just manner.

Simply put to further the Maritime uses and Recreational uses - along the 7.5 mile San Francisco Coast line from Lower Fort Mason to Pier 98 - better know as Heron Head's Park.

The recent slap on the face linked to 8 Washington that defeated Proposition B and C is a wake up call - to the greedy developers and to those that want to milk the cow - dead.

There was a time when San Franciscans permitted outsiders to come and participate in our way of living. In recent years the outsiders - have only one intention - money. They do not care about Quality of Life issues - and all they want is to abuse the system and rake in the millions.

 It is simply preposterous for the few present and past  San Francisco "politicians" - to use our unique Waterfront - to leave some sordid legacy linked to themselves and their evil ways.

Further to treat the unique and now world famous area in and around the Ferry Building by the Bay in San Francisco with  utter disdain.

There is a lot of history in and around the Ferry Building - some of it is never mentioned. Most of it forgotten - as if those in position - those policy makers - have a permanent - "continuing senior moment " - their knowings of past important factors and history - erased from the sordid - minds.

First and foremost the land belongs to the Ohlone - it has for over 10,000 years. I had to bring this to the attention of the San Francisco Port Authority - recently.

Is is strange how the strangers forget the stole the land. Up unit 1927 you could kill a Native American and fetch $5 for his or her scalp. Women were raped and Native American children - taken from the parents and villages and incarcerated in so called White run - Boarding Schools.

I represent the Ohlone in San Francisco - on matters of infrastructure, land use, other planning issues.

The San Francisco Planning Department and in this case the San Francisco Port Authority - is fully cognizant of this fact. I am monitoring them like a HAWK.

All roads lead to the Ferry Building at one time - rail, public transit, private transport, those few that had cars - and in the course of time many. The many activities -  that took place in and around the Ferry Building - we have photographs that paint a clear picture - people landing by the Ferry Building and then proceeding to Downtown San Francisco.

During the War Effort the many war activities - in and around the Ferry Building - soldiers embarking on the various junkets to places - where they were needed.

At the Ferry Building for example was established the First Marker lined to the Railway - and a this must be noted and an exhibit built - to signify the role of the Santa Fe and later Southern Pacific rail system.

History has recorded the role of the Negro Porters - the many who used the rail as transportation in years past - who had great admiration; and continue to have great admiration - for the Black Porters.

This one of a kind history that is never spoken of - and with it what can be one to connect the rail - from the Transbay Hub or Station - hopefully with its 12 platforms - to ferry thousands and deal with adverse impacts and  congestion - we all are experiencing - today.

We must learn to think outside the box - and have sound engineers, transportation experts, City Planners; Sociologist and other who are deeply involved in Environmental Issue - more health issues to address hot spots, the dangerous particulates, and in general Health Issues - that are left out of  the equation.

It seem that the policy makers do not  have the best interests of the City and County of San Francisco. Permit congestion and then as a after thought - think about doing - something. Can we expect anything from the politicians, the developers - poor leaders - who are not educated on pertinent - issues.

For sure - not the shallow, spineless, inept planners more from the Metropolitan Transportation Agency (MTA).

For sure not the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA), the Mayor's Office of Economic Development and Workforce.

Other drab authorities that have been asleep at the wheel. They all talk the talk but fail each and every time to walk the walk.

I just happened to be at one singular San Francisco Port Authority meeting - where the fools were discussing about the celebrating the 150 years of the San Francisco Port Authority anniversary - some months ago.

Can you imagine - not a word about the history of the Negro - the Black - the African American - and the role they all played with the Army - the Buffalo Soldiers - the Santa Fe operation and the famous Porters.

Captain Michael Haley and the Coast Guard, and I could go on - but the buffoons - were planning a gala - other mundane stuff - and had no clue of the past history - and no plans to given recognition to the Black - even though the SF Port Authority has two Commissioner who are Black!.

Within two weeks - I had to muster the best to put on a singular and spectacular Buffalo Soldiers Exhibit - at my own expense.

Anthony Powell  a Buffalo Soldiers' historian and curator with his own displays and artifacts - understanding the cause - helping me and others with this one of kind Buffalo Soldiers - display and exhibits.

Can you imagine the two Black Commissioners - who are on the SF Port Authority Commission - did not bother to visit the exhibit? This as part of the 150 years celebration.

The Longshoremen too were treated with disdain - the Longshoremen who have done so much - including laying their live on Bloody Thursday - all recorded and all well know -by those who favor fair play in the workplace.

I worked with them to make them feel at home - and even created a documentary of their drill performance on that memorable day -  April 28, 2013 - the 150th Anniversary celebration of the San Francisco Port Authority.

Yet these two Black Commissioners on the SF Port Authority will talk about everything - trips to China, pretending to give menial jobs to people of color, this, that and the other - all fluff and more fluff.

It all points to education, up bringing, family values and traditions - manners, etiquette and of course being educated on issues. In short caring about San Francisco - as stellar San Franciscans would.

The Bay would not be what it was - if three women - whose husbands held important positions in our well established Universities, our Judicial Courts, other well established institutions - if their wives did not take it upon themselves to save the Bay.

All White women with a singular mission and fortitude - to do right. They saved the Bay alright!

While these three women were fighting to save the Bay - the developers were dumping infill - the worst kind possible - to build artificial land - to build tall buildings and other type of facilities.

The Bay is the Bay - because of them. The beautiful views and the many assets the Bay brings to the fore - our climate, the cool breeze, the sailing boats, the birds, the many shipping containers moving towards Oakland, the Coast Guard doing their thing, and the many other maritime activities - water, water, water - everywhere.

The 8 Washington building blocking the views would do these women - who saved the Bay - and all of us advocates - great injustice. Insult the First People - the Ohlone who are left out of any discussion - this their land.

That is why some of us fought hard to do the right thing - never mind that Willie L. Brown Jr. the "former thug Mayor of San Francisco".

Gavin Newsom the good for nothing -side kick of our Governor Jerry Brown - bragged about Open Space - this and that - while trying to push for a tall building - and condominiums for the filthy rich - at 8 Washington Street - where now is a parking lot - part of an agreement with the Ferry Building. 

Condominiums at 8 Washington Street in the price range - from $5 million to $10 million. Who could afford that but the filthy rich - and they got defeated - and must be debarred from carrying out such ploys and machinations. They are enemies of the people - the tax payers and those San Franciscans who adhere to stellar values and aspirations - have fortitude - and a vision for the best.

As I said this land belongs to the Ohlone - they were here for over 10,000 years. In the last 200 years on the Water Front by the Ferry Building a lot of construction, in fill and a lot of that has gone sour and come to haunt us.

Had it not been for the three women - the Bay that we see today - would not be there. The Greed that was moving to destroy the entire Bay; one of kind Eco-system - was stopped - and for good measure.

No one in their right mind should opt of a Warrior Stadium by the Ferry Building.

We gave the Giants an opportunity - they have AT&T Park - that is really SF Port Authority Property - Willie L. Brown Jr the former Mayor and Speaker of the Assembly - who was forcefully term out - was behind that scheme. He legislated at Sacramento and made AT&T Stadium possible - but there is more to that - history and reality.

We failed the 49ers and they have a State of an Art Stadium in Santa Clara - while still holding to the name San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers soon will no more called San Francisco and Candlestick Stadium - home.

The Warriors should opt for a more holistic option - in some open space - some site that does not favor abject - C O N G E S T I O N and bring disgrace to the City - named after Saint Francis of Assisi.

We have 365 days in a year - and there will be over 340 activities  - on 340 days - if the Warrior Stadium is built. Bringing in a lot of congestion - contributing to the Carbon Footprint - and adversely impacting millions.

Particulates has been determined scientifically, recently - with empirical data starring us in the face - to be a singular and one of the most significant elements or factors to cause harm to all life - a  CARCINOGEN. Where cancer is rampant and suffering of humans and other lives - untold. 

That is the devil's work -  with intent increasing congestion and adversely impacting our children, our Seniors, humans and non-humans. 

We have the Precautionary Principle on our books - but no one cares - not even the San Francisco Port Authority - we have seen it with the Alito-Lazio case - with the contaminated stock piles at Pier 92 that the SF Port Authority was forced to abate.

The many toxic hot spots at Pier 70 that those in authority want to cap. Pier 98 and Heron Head Park which is contaminated - these shenanigans are all there - for evaluations and inspection - and the San Francisco Port Authority will be exposed. Make no bones about it.

Much of the 7.5 mile along the coast the San Francisco Bay is contaminated - Asbestos, leaking fossil fuel from old tanks that refueled boats and barges -  sinking piers, other contaminants leeching into the Bay.

We have known about this - but not the buffoons who sit on the SF Port Authority Commission. For sure not Kimberly Brandon.

High rise buildings - skyscrapers make me puke.

That is why I like Washington DC - other cities that do not have tall buildings.

The Financial District is a concrete jungle and those that like it -are the greedy Property Managers - the owners of the buildings large corporations who do not pay taxes - and those that rake in the commercial rents - and do little if nothing - for the San Franciscans.

That tower of Babel will come tumbling down - wait for the Big One to ring the bell - and just like that - those wheeling and dealing - smiling at their stupid ploys and machinations - will receive their - reality check. A shock that will traumatize their very being - they will try to reason but it will be too - late.

Each and every high rise in and around that area we call the Financial District that employs so many - and pays them so little - at the end of the day - these tired souls - have to go home.

The employees all gravitate towards the Ferry Building to go home on the Ferries, at other times - to eat at the many gourmet restaurants. They have other options too.

The Farmers' Market other activities - many run along the well built concrete paths - to experience and feel the cool breeze and tone their bodies.

Others just sit and while away some time in meditation and other somber activities. They do their thing and that is all good. They can see the Bay now - from afar with no hindrance - but build those tall buildings - and all is for nought.

Many gravitate towards the famous Ferry Building, a landmark -with a clock that chimes - that all recognize - a symbol that all San Franciscans are proud of.

Many foreign visitors, others - conduct some leisure business or serious ones in some rare instances - I suppose.

While all the time - we know - and know deeply from doing research and monitoring - those behind the scenes that built those buildings - in the Financial District - have and had a sordid history.

You have to know people - to know what I speak of. The Rockerfellers, the Shoresteins, the many Property Managers from outside - all parasites. I have dealt with them all these many years.

Carmen Chu the anointed San Francisco Assessor may brag she is bringing in the money - but at whose expense. Blood Money.
She and Jose Cisneroes - the City Treasurer - have a lot to answer - before a higher POWER.

 Who profits from all those monies - tainted - and raking in is fine or so some think - but it is mostly - Blood Money - and those that think deeply - know what I am talking about.

These building change hands quicker than the plays at a Poker Game - with charlatans of a kind - hoodwinking and doing their dubious thing.

The current San Francisco Port Authority Commissioners - mostly rubber stamp what is before them. With little meaningful deliberation.

One of them loves to be a SF Port Commissioner forever - she must move on - and there must be term limits - set.

She will agree on most of the garbage that come before her. Garbage that needs incineration and quick disposal.

She was for the 8 Washington project and she is now for the Golden State Warrior Stadium.

Wait until I appear at the SF Port Authority meeting and address - my deep concerns - she and two others - both Commissioners -  who are pathetic to say the least. Always rubber stamping - rubbish.

The Ferry Building belongs to the people - once with direct jurisdiction to the State - until in the late 1960s - the State transferred its assets to the the City and County of San Francisco - that created the San Francisco Port Authority - governed by the Public Trust Act and the Burton Act in later years.

Some years ago; I had to remind the then - SF Port Commissioners about the Burton Act.

The duty that they had to uphold under the Public Trust Act - the Burton Act that they knew little about - had hardly - read.

The SF Port Commissioners - were in for a shock and learned quickly that my reminders - would not go away. So they read and behaved better - at least for the first time - we saw them referring to standards - they had not paid attention before.

The SF Port Authority; as does the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, and the San Francisco Airport - are all Enterprise Departments.

Meaning; have to generate their own money - and expand their monies for the upkeep of the assets - their building and operations - in the case of the San Francisco Port Authority - the many Piers that are in disrepair - due to deferred maintenance.

The America's Cup has brought some money to do some repair - but nothing was done without a hidden agenda. 

Oracle and its owner Larry Ellison - wanted to build an hotel right where the Warriors want to build their stadium. Two every bad ideas.

Oracle pulled a fast one - came from behind and won the America's Cup. With all the fun fare - the America's Cup - did not do as well as it could have done - contributing to the economy of San Francisco. This was the case in Auckland  - New Zealand which I visited and heard first hand remarks from those that live there.

San Francisco is still holding the bag - with millions spent and little recovered. The City authorities did not listen and the tax payers is paying the penalties for the dumb - mistakes.

The fact that Oracle won may give Larry Ellison a feather in his cap - but San Francisco; and more San Franciscans must remember - we were taken for a ride - we the tax payers of San Francisco. Millions owed will be paid or by the tax payers.

The tax payers rallied and fought and defeated the project - named 8 Washington - a blight on the Water Front - if it was built - we all would have been poorer for it.

We must never ever compromise our standards, our values, we must not be sell outs - those who want to destroy all - when in the first place they came here as strangers - and must thread the ground with great care. Be here if you may - but if you want to destroy - go elsewhere.

The Golden State Warrior Stadium is going no where - not if there is some sanity left - in San Francisco.

Congestion is not what we want - and the on going Traffic Analysis - by the San Francisco Transportation Authority, the Metropolitan Transportation Agency - must be accomplished with the highest standards. So far on other projects - worth the salt - this has not been the case.

Other authorities like the Metropolitan Transportation Commission - the Bay Area Air Quality Management District - must all do justice to the Ferry Building, the site around it - the traffic that must be kept away from the Ferry Building - the entire Water Front.

Little of it; very little of it - coming North toward Fisherman's Wharf.

Ideally the only means of transportation should be rail - this can be done and achieved with some qualified outreach.

With some qualified exceptions given to trucks at certain times - loading and unloading essentials - under very strict observations - cameras monitoring such activities - and high penalties for abuses.

STOP CREATING PARKING GARAGES TO FILL THE POCKETS OF THE MAFIA ON THE WATER-FRONT - THAT HAVE TAKEN OVER THE PARKING GARAGES - TO FOSTER GREED.

CONTROL OF THE PARKING SPACES FOR NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES.  WE KNOW - WHO THEY ARE - AND WE WILL EXPOSE THEM.

THE LAND BELONGS TO THE OHLONE. ALL OF IT. IT WAS STOLEN BY THE STRANGERS.  NO ONE GAVE IT TO THE STRANGERS. AHO.
