THE SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISION - RIGGED WITH GRIFT OF THE WORSE TYPE - TREATING ITS EMPLOYEES WITH DISDAIN - MILLIONS SPENT USING CHANGING ORDERS - AND THERE IS MORE.

 

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission is run by corrupt managers and others who have, for decades, taken San Francisco taxpayers for a wild ride.

Nepotism runs wild at the SFPUC Water Department.

More managers and consultants have been indicted for working for SFPUC than any other SF City's department in San Francisco.

Hundreds of decent employees have been fired, and the City's and County of San Francisco Human Resources and SFPUC Human Resources must be ashamed.

Hardworking, decent SFPUC employees have suffered a lot, and now it's time to unite and handle the goons, so-called management, who must be taken to court.

The RICO Act is tailor-made to deal with the crooked managers at the SFPUC Water Department - we have the empirical data.

There are all sorts of locations where all sorts of corruption is taking place - from Hetch Hetchy, to San Pedro, to Calavarwz, to Irrivington.

From Crystal Springs to Hunters Point Reservoir to Potrero Hill Reservoir to University Mound to the Sunset Reservoir to the Reservoir at Lombard to the Reservoir by City College. 

Each has a serious issue linked to deferred maintenance. 

We cannot look away - knowing that the water in the reservoirs is contaminated - and adversely impacts millions.

The various mistakes made - draining the Sunset Reservoir, doing a half-ass cleanup, filling the Reservoir with 177 million gallons of water, then making a mistake by administering access chemicals, then filling it again with 177 million gallons of water - while all the time fooling the residents and citizens of San Francisco.

Imagine wasting 177 million gallons twice - and not informing the residents and constituents of San Francisco - millions of gallons of clean drinking water drained into the manholes that go back to the Treatment Plant in the Bayview Hunters area.

Gone are the days when we had a stellar General Manager like Richard Sklar - first served as General Manager of SFPUC from 1979 -1983. Later, Anson Moran was Chair of the SFPU Commission and was appointed to Chair the SFPU Commission; before that was General Manager of Hetch Hetchy Water and Power from 1988-1993.

These two men had institutional experience and did a stellar job wherever they worked; their tenacity and fortitude were second to none. Both were known and respected by me, and we could always talk about any subject and learn more.

Today we have two crooks - both attorneys - Dennis Herrera and Ron Flinn. They are not engineers, and these clowns must step down and fade into oblivion.

I have been attending various important meetings at SF City's Hall for the last 45 years - I know these crooks and have spoken my mind about the various dubious ploys and machinations these crooks have been involved with.

Bayview Hunters Point has been used as a dump, where all sorts of businesses operate. 

The main Recycling Plant is in Bayview Hunters Point; the Treat Plant at Phelps is in Bayview Hunters Point; and Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, where depleted Uranium was tested, has adversely impacted thousands and is in Bayview Hunters Point.

Thousands of old cars - famous for crap cars - one could always find a spare part - but with the crap comes population - and the contamination spread underground and in the air - homes built very near the contamination - including the Treatplant - spewing Methane Gas in the past - and the stench of feces - still lingers - just visit the Evans Shopping Center - and check it out for yourselves.

Asthma, cancers of all kinds, headaches, breathing problems, mosquitoes all over the place - nobody gives a rat's ass - the Mayor of San Francisco - talking from both sides of his mouth. 

The current District 10 Supervisor had to pay a fine for cheating; he knows the harm he has done to the Bayview Hunters Point - that is why, most of the time, he hides in Vallejo.

Bayview Hunters Point has the most warehouses where all sorts of operations take place - most of them deal with some type of chemicals and residue that are toxic and fly around, harming thousands.

Paradoxically, Bayview Hunters Point has laboratories that can investigate all sorts of contamination and analyze all sorts of gases and chemicals.

The San Francisco Health Department has not done deep investigative reporting - the SF Health Department surveys the people of Bayview Hunters Point and gets millions in grants to help the community; however, over many decades, that money is spent elsewhere.

Again, while the citizens of Bayview Hunters Point helped build the old SF General Hospital, few people know this. Similarly, the citizens of Bayview Hunters Point helped build 1800 Oakdale - only for outsiders and crooks to shut 1800 Oakdale down - and build the new building at 1550 Evans - which has a board with no clout - taking instruction from SFPUC.

I attended the meetings at 1800 Oakdale and stayed until it was shut down.

It was at 1800 Oakdale that a resolution was passed to help the constituents of  Bayview Hunters Point  - 5% of the $6 billion was going to be set aside as community benefits - that is $300 million.

Dwayne Jones, who has ruined so much, and YCD, which has failed the community, were involved in all sorts of ploys and machinations. 

$150 million was handed over to Dwayne Jones - who has been indicted and hopefully will learn his lesson. Right now, he has an ankle bracelet and lives in the East Bay. In the past, from time to time, he would visit San Francisco, driving a bucket while at home in the East Bay - an expensive car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dwayne was connected to YCD and still has a deep connection with some of the Young Community Development Board members,

Juliet Ellis worked for SFPUC and received #150 million to do outreach - much as her counterpart, Dwayne Jones, also received $150 million to do workforce - which he did with YCD. I want to know how many career jobs were offered and for how long - did the jobs last, and can YCD be audited?

One may not believe it - we have done some stellar investigative reporting, and I have taken the lead - while most of the so-called sellouts have been fleeing the community - these jackasses from outside bleeding our community - the Mayors, the mostly Blacks heading some organization, including pastors - who have failed the Bayview Hunters Point community.

Change orders run into the hundreds, bringing in millions; contractors and point persons sell clean water to large corporations; and the current General Manager, who makes $616,000, and his sidekick, who makes over $450,000, are both attorneys.

What do attorneys who know little about infrastructure, huge generators, tunnel drilling, large reservoirs, hydroelectric power, and clean solar know?

We have experts - two of them with over 80 years of experience linked to " Confined Space " projects - they know how to deal with such projects: carefully monitor the workers who must be trained and certified, provide the best equipment, and monitor the environment for gas and other adverse impacts.

Forty and fifty feet down, send to clean the sludge that has been accumulated - added three SF Reservoirs that have been contaminated with feces and urine - the SFPUC fast asleep as the cockpit.

Managers the likes of William Taehan, Frank Jordon, Steve Ritchie, Joy Chen - others; we have a long list- will have to appear in court and reveal their role in adversely impacting so many workers - ganging up on them - and doing this and more - with INTENT.

The managers at SFPUC are like gadflies - they will drop one by one from the wall - good riddance of very bad rubbish. Among them is Dennis Herrera, who still thinks he can do as he pleases. Time will tell, and those who fight for right always win.

It is time: Chapter 54 of the SF Administer Code - all its policies to address fair play and justice addressed. No worker should be discriminated against - wages manipulated, contracts handed on a platter - with incentives to multiple change orders, the Unions today are looking the other way - in this case, Union 261  - shame on them for fleecing the workers - getting their dues paid - and when the time to stand with the workers - the workers are thrown under the bus.

SFPUC must be brought before the SF Controller and the SF Inspector General, and after review, the indictments handed down by the SF OSHA and the California Civil Rights Department.

If our team can do it - you can do it - stop talking that the City and County want to rid the corruption - when none of you can work hard, sit on the information, hear us when we come before you - but pay no attention.

Fair play and justice - no worker who works hard and is decent should be treated with disdain - the Unions better stand tall and represent - and stop taking bribes and making side deals that will bring about disgrace, and all of you will fall on your faces. You already have seen this, but you are not paying attention - you Unions.

Huge pipes carry clean water from Hetch Hetchy to Crystal Springs using gravity, landing about 30 miles south of San Francisco.

From Crystal Springs to several reservoirs serving San Francisco, including University Mound Reservoir and others, clean drinking water is delivered; none of them are maintained; deferred maintenance.

If this information about our San Francisco reservoirs is revealed with empirical data, photographs, and videos, revealing sludge contaminated with filth and feces, all hell will break loose.

Soon Dennis Herrera, the General Manager, will retire and receive a fat pension. 

Do you think he cares about all the damage he and his cronies have done - firing innocent workers - pandering to consultants who have raked in millions?

Chosen big corporations who have raked in billions over all these years - using change orders and other ploys to cheat- and all this and more we San Franciscans pay for.

What have Dennis Herrera and his minions done good for us San Franciscans - except highlight grift and lies at all the SF Public Utilities Commission meetings?

The Bayview Hunters Point area has been used to dump all sorts of garbage: the Sewer Treatment Plant, recycling, trucks carrying dirt, cement, and other goods all over San Francisco and to other locations.

Since Dennis Herrera and his sidekick Ron Flinn took control of the SFPUC, our reservoirs have not been maintained; often, the water pumped to thousands of homes stinks; three reservoirs are exposed to culprits defecating and urinating; and these SFPUC managers and the SFPU Commission look the other way.

Wait until we create a documentary; wait until we release the empirical data; the Environmental Protection Agency and the many State and Federal entities that have failed miserably to act in time.

I, Francisco Da Costa, have to come up with a strategy that is bulletproof to work with SF OSHA to indict SFPUC Water Department. 

There is more, too: the Civil Rights Department interviewed the three laborers, and each now has the right to sue SFPUC.

I took the case over a year after the three laborers were fired. I had SF OSHA open the case, and thank God, we have had several successes since then.

The City and County of San Francisco has failed us all when it comes to being fair and just - we fought early on for the Sunshine Taskforce only for this entity to fade away. 

We fought for the Ethics Commission - today no one respects the Ethics Commission - the Ethics Commission has chosen to neutralize standards - and once this happens  - all hell breaks loose.

We have the SF Controller's Office, and it has no clout. Who would go to the Controller's Office and sign a form as a whistleblower - reveal information that matters - and if it is true - and the culprits indicted, removed from office? While the whistleblower has to sing the blues. 

We went before the SF Controller's Office four times - three times with the Controller's Office and the last one with the Controller's Office and the SF Inspector General - who, as we know, has no clout.

The Controller and the SF Inspector General should realize we have empirical data and can prove that the City and County of San Francisco is corrupt.

We took it upon ourselves to go to the SF OSHA, an entity in San Francisco that I can vouch for, and the California Civil Rights Department, which also listened to our experts and us and has allowed each victim to sue SFPUC, the Water Department.

While our prayers, tenacity, fortitude, and hard work have come to fruition, we were lucky to have two experienced managers.

Each has more than 35 years of experience on issues linked to infrastructure and construction, treatment plants and laying pipes, Confined Space projects,  pollution and contamination, managers who handled complaints and were fair to the employees,

Managers who were certified and have appeared before judges and proved to be diligent and astute as managers - the judges appreciate their judgment when asked questions.

These managers and most of our team are knowledgeable about Climate Change, the environment, and more - both using over 70 years of experience - linked to "Confined Space " elements that the SFPUC and the City and County of San Francisco have neglected and must now deal with.

The City and County must know that hundreds of decent employees are suffering - many traumatized - this was also the case with our three laborers who worked hard, and not one of them was called upon for negligence at work. One received commendation - Employee of the Year. One was promoted and then, without cause, demoted and fired.

San Francisco, as it stands today, has gone to the hogs.

I have monitored this nonsense for over 45 years. Today, the SF Board of Supervisors cares more about mundane stuff than anything that delivers results. Forget about fair play and justice.

San Franciscans do not trust the present Mayor, and also the SF Board of Supervisors, who are using their position to climb up the ladder - but none of them will be trusted - not now and not for sure in the future.

Good leaders know the way, show the way, and go the way.

Remember your heart has to be in the right place - only then can you lead others to a better place.

I have traveled the world, and my experience with my Jesuit education, serving three U.S. Army Generals, serving the twelve Western States - dealing with the Congresspersons and Senators - as Six Army Congress Liaison, has allowed me to do a sound needs assessment on most subjects and get to the point.

The clowns I met at SF City Hall today are a disgrace to the human race. How many class actions does it take for the Mayor and those in authority the SF City Administrator, the SF City Attorney, the SF District Attorney, the other heads of Departments - to be kind and have empathy, and uplift one another?

Our labor unions don't want to deal with the employees who pay their dues when they need help?

Hundreds of employees fired and traumatized - some have committed suicide?

Bayview Hunters Point is preyed upon - some receiving bribes in the thousands - and laughing all the way to the bank.

Our single mothers and children left to themselves - many forced to do anything to survive. The millions of dollars set aside as community benefits went to crooks like Juliet Ellis and Dwayne Jones.

Juliet Ellis dared to cheat and send 200,000 dollars to her former job - Green for All in Oakland- without any permission. Juliet Ellis had access to millions, and few know about the others like her - many from the Bayview Hunters Point - amassing illegal wealth while pretending to say something that means nothing at all.

Where do we find these crooks, both Blacks, preying on most Blacks and are caught stealing and paraded - while Whites cheat using all sorts of  " Change Orders " in the millions and go Scott Free. 

Truly speaking, less than 5% are Blacks - in fact, two percent when you count the " living dead " - those that are on drugs, steal and cheat, and are a nuisance to others.

The SFPUC dared to give a presentation saying all is well with the workers and their pay scales, and the presenter and the woman who gave the introduction have no clue what they were talking about.

Chapter 54 of the San Francisco Administrative Code addresses quality-of-life issues, the environment, water, the sewer, wages, training, and all the right things that should have been in place.

Way back in 2002, Southeast Sector Community Development Corporation (SESCDC) laid out a plan to address quality-of-life issues and improve the failing standards in District 10 - the Bayview Hunters Point area.

In 2016, I, Francisco Da Costa, laid out a plan at Executive Park, 5 Thomas Mellon, San Francisco, California 94134, for various careers for our women and men - linked to the then-coming-to-fruition Sewer System Improvement Project. 

The SSIP started with a $6 billion budget and is now $15 billion, heading to $25 billion; the SFPUC must be brought to book under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

The key folks who worked for SFPUC and were involved with the budget have jumped ship. 

 A few are left and will be singing the blues.

Imagine the General Manager, an attorney, giving himself a raise from $500,000 to $616,000 a year. When was the last time any SF manager received a salary at the SFPUC before, and why?

A lot of effort went into this strategy, and we had the Contracting Center in place, only for Juliet Ellies and Dwayne Jones, Harlan Kelly, Susan Leal, Julie Labonte, Barbara Hale, and some other goons to sabotage our plan.

Our plan was stolen and handed to entities that couldn't work with it becuase they lacked the experience.

We had experienced men and women - Scott Hanks, Andrew Bozeman, Jae Ryu, Bruce Giron, Lin Daly Roberts, and Francisco Da Costa.

We worked with the 5 Thomas Mellon owners, George Yerby and Harlan Kelly, the General Manager, SFPUC, and others, and created a large Space and furnished it and waited for resources - nothing happened.

After a year, the Contract Center was opened with great fanfare - Malia Cohen, Ed Lee, the Mayor, others present - our plan to create career jobs was rejected - Juliet Ellis, Harlan Kelly, Dwayne Jones decided to name the center  - SFPUC Contracting Center - and no resources were provided to us - who expanded our own money - and never paid.

The Contract Center was staffed by folks with nothing to do with training or providing resources; the center provided access to contract documents, but no contractors came from 2016 to 202. From 2021 to 2024, the SFPUC Center was closed, and it has been open since mid-2024.

I contacted Kevin Williams, a former Compliance Officer who worked for the City and County of San Francisco. 

Kevin William has been working with a group of diligent women and men to address the salient and pertinent issues that need to be addressed and justice and fairness bestowed on the citizens and constituents of the Bayview Hunters Point - we have the empirical data! 

I provided him with all the data he needed. He took his time and, with his expertise in following the mandated policies, revealed that practically nothing was done to help Bayview Hunters Point, for sure, and San Francisco, too; outsiders gained a lot, and SFPUC dares to cook some statistics, and shame on SFPUC.

Chapter 54 of the SF Administrative Code lays it down - wages, safety, training, resources; Bayview Hunters Point is linked to serious environmental issues - depleted Uranium stored at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

The Bay is contaminated with so-called secondary effluents, more feces floating in the Bay, and chemicals that increase algae and cause more harm. Climate change: the Bay is getting warmer, and fish and other Life are adversely impacted.

The worst department in San Francisco is the SFPUC Water Department, headed by Steve Ritchie and his lower managers, William Taehan and Frank Jordon, and Joy Chen from Human Resources, who all targeted Joe King, Condrad King, and Adolfo Padilla.

Confined Space work should go to the plumbers, not the laborers; the Laborers were enticed to clean the reservoirs under the false pretext that their salaries would increase. That did not happen.

No laborers were sent for training and certification; anyone can tell you. This put those cleaning the Reservoir in harm's way, laborers working forty to fifty feet below, without proper training, equipment, or more.

I, Francisco Da Costa, and my good friends have worked as a team for the last 45 years and took it upon ourselves to open the case with SF OSHA after one year.

Two of our experts have 80 years of " Confined Space " projects - every aspect of the work - working underground and adhering to OSHA policies. SFPUC failed miserably and has brought disgrace by putting our hard-working, decent employees in harm's way/

SF OSHA took a year to cite SFPUC, which has been kicking the can down the street; that doesn't help SFPU. They were indicted on five counts. Failure to train laborers, Failure to provide safety, Failure to address emergency situations, intentionally putting laborers in harm's way, and sending fake documents, which is a crime.

District Bayview-Hunters Point has never had good leadership from Doris Ward, Sophie Maxwell, Malia Coto, and current superintendent Shaman W.T.N. - time will tell.

Bayview has been denied billions of dollars for decades; the Department of Defense spent billions from 1945 to 1960. 

Over a billion dollars was spent to clean up the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard from 1960 to 2025, again and again. The sellouts don't want to mention their names; they know who they are and can easily be rounded up using the RICO Act.

Since 1980, when Diane Feinstein became Mayor, all resources that joint housing and other entities relied on were terminated for no reason.

This blatant discrimination against the innocent constituents and citizens knows no bounds.

We have the empirical data; we should call out the sellouts, and those who want to represent Bayview Hunters Point should help those in dire straits. I have been monitoring the situation for over 45 years.

Some of us have no clue that the 1550 Evans Board is no longer a Commission; it is a Council.

Just like that SFPUC has taken over - a racist SFPUC and the sellouts doing their bidding better have an answer when someone knocks at your door.

The sellouts are laughing all the way to the bank - receiving thousands of dollars - while our Elders, infants, children, women and men, those with compromised health - more our physically and mentally challenged.

As I said, SFPUC has been bullying and cheating the constituents of Bayview-Hunters Point for a long, long, long time.

Time to exercise the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

The City's and County of San Francisco have gone to the hogs.

The present Mayor is using the Billionaires to do as he pleases - we have the filthy rich and the very poor - where is the middle class?

San Francisco was built by the middle class; no more.

THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION - THE WORST EVER - GRIFT, LIES, CHEATING, A DISGRACE TO THE HUMAN RACE - EQUITOUS - OUR ONLY SALVATION - THE NOVEMBER 2026, ELECTIONS.

 

Many of us advocates worldwide cannot comprehend how the present United States government is tolerated by America - the world's superpower - which created so many changes after World War II.

The United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the International Court of Justice, and numerous foundations exist to prevent injustice and keep war at Bay through treaties.

Only a narcissist who lives in the White House would adversely impact millions, depriving them of USAID, vaccinations, and medicines that saved lives - a narcissist who will fall flat on his face. 

This narcissist has no clue about war that needs the permission of Congress - attacking Iran has failed, and the entire Middle East is in peril - airports, hotels, American soldiers killed from the many bases that were operated for decades; Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordon, the Emerates, Qatar, Bahrain, Dubai, and the surrounding areas, including Yemen and Oman, are in peril.

No mention of thousands of military soldiers and their families sent to places that are not habitable, all Americans - treated with disdain by Pete Hegseth and his egotistical maniac.

The time has come for us citizens to take control of the situation - our country must move forward, not backward.

It costs the United States more than one billion a day to carry out all sorts of sorties, and every day our assets are wasted on a skirmish that should never, never have happened.

Worldwide, the military from various countries are monitoring the skirmish - where we have exhausted our missiles, bombs, interceptors, jets, and all because of the madness of one person who is unhinged and a traitor.

Truth be told, for a long time Americans failed to checkmate Congress; we the people have a responsibility to vote and participate, putting our best foot forward.

We must be united and put the best interests of our country, America, first.

For a long time, we had a bipartisan government that put America first and lifted one another up.

Now we have a narcissist - the worst President: a liar, a cheat, a Grifter, a disgrace to the human race.

We have one last opportunity, Independents, Democrats, and Republicans, to unite and restore bipartisanship as it was before, with all of us uplifting one another. 

Spirituality counts; do not judge anyone who needs help.

The billionaires are out to take advantage of everyone; we all have to work together to bring about a holistic change, with everyone having a say; united we win.

Let us remember this land: all of it belongs to the indigenous tribes; they come first, not the strangers who came later and now think they are privileged.

Today we have an unruly person - unhinged - who has chosen to work with the head of Russia - a thug, murderer, who has blood on his hands.

We have a gifter at home who, along with his family, has amassed billions while millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

When we heard about Project 2025, most Americans didn't take it seriously. 

This one document was created over a period of four years - paid for by conservative foundations with a hidden agenda- and a plan was created, leading to autocracy.

Here in California, the U.S. Department of Justice has stooped so low as to lie and tell the authorities in California that 20,000 ballots have been issued to illegal immigrants, and that is not true.

When the State of California asked for proof, these scum bags refused to provide any empirical data. 

Votes and Voting come under the States, not the Federal government, and for sure not the present DOJ, which is a scam and drowning in a cesspool of their own creation.

The White House is a den of thieves, and the leader is a narcissist and grifter of the highest order.

November 3, 2026, will send a clear message to the autocrats and liars and thieves - these thieves are amassing millions - while decent citizens of the United States of America live paycheck to paycheck. 

Eachone of us has the duty to vote and vote right - please do not let go this one singular duty to vote - and bring change and with that foremost our Freedom to do right.

Folks like Stephen Miller and Russel Vought and others have challenged us, the majority, to neutralize our Democracy and Capitalism that so far have survived; however, what we have learned today is to survive - and in the future strengthen our Democracy and checkmate the filthy rich - making them pay at least forty percent of earnings and assets.

Those who sacrificed to protest have done their duty; others who took on this Administration, taking them to court, and the good judges being fair, prove that we might stand for what is right.

Spirituality counts - we must uplift one another - and when those who harm immigrants, bully our Elders, treat our infants and children with disdain, and attack and arrest American citizens, we all must unite and do right.

The Republicans have learned a lesson; in one word, they are "EQUITOUS".

Republicans do not have a party - they have embraced a toxic cult, believing in one unhinged person.

It is simply wrong to target innocent immigrants who have committed no crime and incarcerate them in warehouses that stink to the sky and heaven and treat them with disdain - surrounded by filth and beaten up.

This land, Turtle Island, is indigenous land.

Paradoxically, those who follow the cult think they own this land - that was stolen and these greedy grifters have no right to treat any human being with disdain.

If some of them say they are Christian - never mind what denomination - those who follow the unhinged idiot who lives in the White House - which is the people's house - they Republicans have lost their minds.

Christians who are spiritual do not hate and kill and murder infants, children, and those who are innocent.

It is a shame that we have proof that, far from being aware of hackers from outside the United States, it has come to our attention that inside the United States the present Administration has chosen to break the laws.

Under the order of the egoistical maniac - busy issuing illegal orders, invading and persecuting American citizens, failing to abide by our United States Constitution and other laws.

Fredrick Douglass

Targeting the history of Negroes who played a key role in enriching the Whites has now become fashionable - target museums that speak Truth to power - slavery was used by everyone in the early days - including some of our Founding Fathers.

The trade linked to cotton, sugar, and other produce from large plantations came about in the early days becuase those who owned the land used slavery - that is, free labor - and today those who want to keep this information under the rug must be ashamed of themselves.

Capitalism does not favor having the rich and the very poor - and harms the middle class that is the backbone of Capitalism.

For a long time, many corporations negotiated with unions that represented workers and reached a middle ground. Today, no one trusts unions.

Federal workers embraced stable jobs in the United States government, with the Office of Personnel Management and related organizations like OSHA and the Civil Rights Department helping protect workers.

Thousands of Federal Workers have been fired without cause - is this the America that does not care and with intent to adversely impact innocent workers? Who are these monsters, and why are we letting them cause harm on purpose?

Today, unions are anathema, and soon they won't be trusted and will fade into oblivion.

The billionaires are calling the shots - a few of them thinking they can speak and act on behalf of the citizens of the United States of America - and with the idiot who lives in the White House - today we have pandemonium.

This idiot has taken the United States back decades - and some of us who have traveled to many countries, been educated at stellar colleges and universities - know some - today autocrats are doing all in their power to suppress those who are not White.

The Whites who came here without documents took refuge under the pretext that they were persecuted, and they nearly starved to death - until the indigenous tribes saved their lives.

The indigenous taught the Whites how to fish and how to plant corn and other greens. None of us seem to investigate and find out the Truth - again - as we know the Whites bit the hand that fed them. Nothing much has changed to this day.

We must never forget this land is the land of the indigenous people.

We must never forget the millions of Indigenous people who were murdered and killed on their own land.

It is a shame that the indigenous tribes are treated like second-class citizens, but those who think they are privileged - their time is coming- will fall flat on their faces.

This nonsense of targeting museums to erase the history of those who were here on Turtle Island for thousands of years - the slaves who worked for free and shed their blood and sweat - human beings that were treated with disdain - has stained the conscience of the Whites and our Founding Fathers.

Project 2025 is going nowhere, and we will bring each thug to book. Years in jail, singing the blues, waiting for that movie, and lessons learned about grifting.

We know the lead Grifter and this family; each will have to account for illegally amassing wealth.

This land is indigenous land, and we do not want Artificial Intelligence and the norms and behavior of the privileged Whites who think they are something when they are nothing at all.

Our infants, children, youth, young adults, our beloved Elders - those with compromised health - more the mentally and physically challenged do not deserve to be treated with disdain.

Depriving billions and failing to provide health, food, and other amenities to our infants, children, youth, women and men, our Elders, and those that need help most - sending billions to the billionaires and filthy rich - is a disgrace.

The idiot in the White House will fail miserably and fall flat on his face.

Let us stand tall, stay united, and vote for the right candidates, those with empathy who will serve those who need help most. 

We can do it, with God on our side. 

Lucifer, go take a hike; we must and should do right this time around.

THE INDIGENOUS ALWAYS REMIND US - WATER IS LIFE! THE ELDERS REMIND US OF MOTHER EARTH - TAKE LITTLE AND LEAVE MORE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

 

Life is for the living - not the living dead. 

Water is Life; the water at Hetch Hetchy is sacred.

A chronic thief, liar, cheat, greedy, and arrogant cannot and will not value and honor the indigenous people.

San Francisco seems not to respect and honor the water that San Francisco stole from the indigenous tribes surrounding the Hetch Hetchy Valley. 

It is a pathetic and atrocious use of clean drinking water to flush the commode - idiots will not get it - SFPUC has no morals and ethics. No one in their right mind would behave like the current upper management, the worst being Steve Ritche.

SFPUC owes the indigenous billions of dollars - you may not pay the indigenous, but if you do not - as I have been saying, you and those cheating and lying will fall flat on your faces. 

San Francisco, after the 1906 Earthquake, lacked access to water to drink and also to put out large fires - the fat cats from San Francisco used their influence in the United States Congress and created the Raker Act of 1913. 

Once San Francisco got the water, the all-white thugs got greedy.

To this day, the corruption is blatant and in your face.

Not once has the SFPUC invited me to any meeting worth the salt; the three or four meetings with key SF City managers were arranged by me.

It is a shame that not all whites, but those who are biased and privileged, will not acknowledge that this land - Turtle Island - belongs to the indigenous tribes. 

The privileged think they can come to some land, steal, cheat, and think that all was given to them on a platter - because of the color of their skin - privileged.

The United States is in dire straits, and here in California, since the Whites stole the land, nothing much has changed.

Just like that, many in California know little about the Latinos who traveled freely and know more about California than the Johnny come lately Whites - who are greedy and have tarnished the land - lock, stock and barrel.

California is the fourth-largest economy in the world; it can do better, but as one notices, the ones who try to rule and dictate are ruining California, and it's time to vote the idiots out and bring in innovative ideas that help those who need help most.

The billionaires in California, especially in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, San Jose, and Los Angeles, need to be put on notice: we don't need Artificial Intelligence (an oxymoron) to speed things up and create unvetted algorithms. We don't need to be ruled by machines, and billionaires can take their sordid concept elsewhere. 

This land - all of it is indigenous land - and at the last moment our Governor has got up from his slumber to bring some tribes together and lie to them - time to put all the tribes on the Federal Register and treat the indigenous tribes with respect.

At this juncture, our Elders remind us, "Do not trust those who speak with a forked tongue. "

It took Gavin Newsom waiting until the last moment before he steps down to bring some indigenous tribes - most of them involved with casinos and say something about an apology.

His apology means nothing - unless all of them indigenous are put on the Federal Register and compensated for all the trials and atrocities committed by the thugs during the Wild West days.

California is the fourth largest Economy in the world. 

You would not know that when one sees the thousands of homeless and many homeless living in filthy conditions - no one seems to care about the homeless. 

The billionaires settled in California prey on those who live paycheck to paycheck - most of the billionaires invest in AI, thinking they can fool all the people all the time - this time around, we must stand our ground and stop their ongoing ploys and machinations.

Today, privileged billionaires are busy building Data Centers that pollute the environment, waste millions of gallons of water, and use more electricity (energy) than quantum technology. 

The SFPUC lacks the expertise needed to implement the latest software to keep hackers at bay, especially when they target our reservoirs, electric hubs, and internet hubs.

SFPUC has primitive software and has failed to train the SFPUC to bring the operations to a standard that takes us to a better place. Instead, SFPUC wastes millions hiring consultants who charge a lot of money and do little.

Moving from one water treatment plant to another and hiring consultants who charge more each time makes it impossible to educate and train SFPUC operaters and technicians; this nonsense has gone on for years, and no one gives a rat's ass.

The consultants use workshops, hoping to teach SFPUC managers and technicians with very little hands-on training; those attending are left to fend for themselves.

It is the same with the project at Mountain Tunnel  - Calavares, Irvington, the many large pumps and generators - that have not been maintained - the idiots prefer  "deferred maintenance "- millions spent - with change orders - and thinking they can fool the taxpayers - when many taxpayers - know more and are educated on issues.

Few know that the Electric Magnetic Field has adversely affected millions all these many years - innocent people living near the areas bombarded day and night - and coming down with cancer and all kinds of other diseases, and no one has gone deep to bring the many deaths to the fore - and the attention of us all.

Way back in 2000, we had an Internet Hotel, and around 2012 some vultures wanted a site and got it at 400 Paul Avenue, changed hands, and is now named Novva, situated on 7.5 acres, promising this, that, and the other, all related to AI, not vetted.

I met the CIM group and 1547 Critical Systems Reality (CSR), which conceived a data center; we held a few meetings at 1800 Oakdale, and most of those present had no clue about the discussion.

Around 2000, I got acquainted with Monkey Brains and some technicians who worked on early laptop Macs. I worked at the Presidio, where we laid fiber and built a state-of-the-art Communication Center with Lucent Technologies and Motorola way back in 1996.

Recently at City Hall, the current District 10 Supervisor has gotten up from his slumber and introduced some proposition to stop  Data Centers in the Bayview, supported by two or three others who are connected with Young Community Developers.

The City and County of San Francisco funds YCD with over $53 million - supposedly helping the youth, but have no empirical data to show how many have career jobs and stay at the job for at least five years - time for an audit.

The fact is, YCD is more into property development, can't be trusted, lies, and has been audited and found lacking in doing right. 

$120 was transferred from the SF Police Department and the San Francisco Sheriff's Department to help non-profits, YCD and the Dream Keepers, put in charge of doling out the money; much of it was spent, and when it was time to audit, most of the money could not be accounted for.

Dwayne Jones and his minions failed Bayview Hunters Point. 

Prior to this $300 million - community benefit - was doled out by AECOM and the SFPUC - $150 million given to Dwayne Jones to deal with Work Force - YCD received millions and failed. 

Julier Ellis another SFPUC operative that failed the community.

Another $150 million was given to Juliet Ellis - who worked for SFPUC - conflict of interest - Dwayne Jones, Juliet Ellis, Susan Leal, Julie La Bonte - a joint venture with AECOM - our taxpayers' money - these vermin have no shame and take positions that they know little about - lying and cheating in broad daylight - they should be ashamed of themselves.

Dwayne Jones was connected with YCD - was indicted and worked directly with YCD, who have done nothing much to serve our youth.

Dwayne Jones, they say, is at home with an ankle bracelet  - when in reality he should be in jail - Dwayne Jones is debarred from coming to San Francisco - and we know why he got this treatment - we know those who play second fiddle and think we know nothing about - when that is not a fact.

The current District 10 Supervisor is seeking fame for all the wrong reasons, has never addressed the toxic Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, nor the thousands suffering from all sorts of ailments in the Bayview.

The plight of our infants, children, youth, young adults, women and men, our beloved Elders - those with compromised health - more physical and mental - all in dies starits - in the Bayview Hunters Point - millions pocketed, and these vermin think they can keep hoodwinking the citizens of the Bayview Hunters Point.

One situation where half a million dollars was set aside to buy land and create a Trust - only for the money to be kept and hopefully not used for some mundane stuff - money set aside for the community is spent to buy buildings - and the crooks are into becoming sordid Property Managers - your time is coming.

There are some who are running to make Bayview Hunters Point better - none have the experience; chronologically, they have an understanding from the days of the Joint-Housing to today - mostly Black from the community - we call them sellouts - have worked with those in power - got money and forgotten to serve the community.

Dianne Feinstein (RIP)

In the 1980s - Dianne Feinstein as Mayor - denied the Bayview Hunters Point - Joint-Housing and other entities resources - and since then Bayview has suffered - today sellouts - that treated the community with disdain. We know them and will expose their evil deeds at the right moment.

Ever since the Joint-Housing lost its resources - Diane Feinstein made this happen - nothing much has happened since the mid-1980s. Now we have crooks from Modesto and Vallejo running the show, one going to Bogota, Colombia, to visit the Hooters, and thinking such visits and behavior are kosher.

These folks don't know the Reservoir at Hunters Point hasn't been maintained; the Reservoir is filthy and stinking, and it's been like that for the last 20 years.

At Hunters Point, depleted Uranium was tested - these ignorant so-called outsiders - wanting to lead - have no clue when they open their mouths and shove their feet in.

I call upon the few decent OGs that I know and have helped to take control of the situation - do not allow these jackasses to bully anyone.

 

The Hetch Hetchy Valley was one of the most beautiful valleys; the Tuolumne River ran through it, and millions of salmon once spawned there; today, the count is less than a hundred.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission abuses the Tuolumne River, taking millions of gallons of water and exceeding the quota needed to supply water to Crystal Springs, a large Reservoir south of San Francisco.

From Crystal Springs, the water is pumped to reservoirs such as the University Mound in the Portola District and the Reservoir at Potrero Hill.

The Reservoir at Lombard Street, the Sunset Reservoir, where over 350 million gallons were pumped in, and most of it was pumped out of the Reservoir - by incompetent folks who do not know what they are doing? 

Imagine wasting 350 million gallons of clean drinking water?

Then there is the Hunter Point Reservoir, which hasn't been cleaned or maintained for over 20 years. 

SFPUC is so stupid that it refuses to provide documents that must be kept for at least five years, and it refuses to answer any questions, leading SF OSHA to indict it on five counts.

www.osha.gov

As less water remains in the Tuolumne River, it warms; salmon are affected; warm water harms spawning.

The SFPUC gives a damn; it sells excess water stored in the Hetch Hetchy Dam to large corporations to cool their operations, and those corporations pay SFPUC large amounts of money.

Steve Richie knows this and lies about it every time; that, and the other thing, is time for Steve Richie to step down and fade into oblivion.

The Bay Area Clean Water Agency (BACWA) was formed in 1984; today, it serves 29 agencies, gets its supply from Hetch Hetchy, and was not part of the 1913 Raker Act. 

Whites know how to do business, and they do it the greedy way - they love money and do not care if they steal water and sell it at a premium and give a damn about the indigenous from whom they stole the water and today waste millions - and when they speak to us - beg us to treat the SFPUC with respect - go figure!

BACW's history is making money for SFPUC, and even then, BACW pays two-thirds of the money for infrastructure and other essential repairs and upgrades, working with SFPUC to pay the invoices.

SFPUC failed to do a needs assessment; it couldn't think about the future - greed kicked in. 

Today, BACWA regrets dealing with Steve Ritchie and some other thugs.  It is time Steve Ritchie fades into oblivion and stops lying about facts and trying to take credit for everything. 

SFPUC takes every opportunity to fleece and bully decent workers and those who do right.

SFPUC and, before that, the SF Water Department have deceived San Francisco taxpayers and hoodwinked San Franciscans by selling millions of gallons of water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir without accountability. 

The SFPUC, in recent times, has failed to listen to the public to stop pumping too much water from the Tuolumne River, adversely impacting Salmon that made their journey from the Pacific Ocean up the Sacramento River only to spawn, and the Salmon die.

Who will speak for the Salmon?

Time and time again, I say, "Who will speak for the Salmon?" at the SFPU Commission meetings. It is a shame when SFPUC has no empathy and thinks they own the land stolen from the indigenous tribes.

The SFPU Commission hears me but pays no attention to any speaker during public comment; today, the SFPUC is in dire straits.

About a year ago, three decent, hardworking employees working for the SFPUC Water Department were fired.

They were taken to task and fired because they asked to be treated like human beings, but they weren't. 

All three of them were traumatized and in the hospital.

Francisco Da Costa was told about this case linked to maintaining the reservoirs; Reservoir maintenance falls under a term that demands strict standards and training called "Confined Space".

You can get all the information about " Confined Space " and the good work OSHA is doing by visiting the OSHA website:  www.osha.gov

Any employee working underground and connected to the policies linked to "Confined Space " must be respected. SFPUC, with intent, sent employees to work in situations where their lives were adversely impacted; each one of them was traumatized.

SFPUC has the worst track record: an Enterprise Department that received millions; it spends money without justification, and the SF Controller's Office has to review the audits.

The SFPUC started with a $6 billion budget tied to the Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP), which has grown to $15 billion and is heading toward $25 billion.

Few know the history of these infrastructure projects, the millions wasted on the Calavarez Reservoir and many others, all audited, yet the SFPUC makes excuses every time. 

We waste billions, enrich the rich connected to large corporations, and have empirical data and Joint-Venture crooked deals, yet the Mayor of San Francisco has no clue about the situation at hand.

I attended the SFPU Commission meeting, and the agenda stated that, as part of a decision someone brought forward, the Chair's position would rotate every year, and so would the vice-chair, which makes no sense.

The SFPUC is an Enterprise Department that collects millions by selling so-called clean drinking water and treating raw sewage, also from a quarry and golf course, electricity generated from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, and more.

Millions are spent on infrastructure projects such as the Mountain Tunnel project, which has umpteen change orders, many of them over thirty percent of the initial cost.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has not improved its Reservoir protection; the SFPUC uses primitive software and can be hacked at a moment's notice.

The same goes for electricity; the SFPUC talks in circles and keeps putting its foot in its mouth.

The SFPUC doesn't listen to the public and thinks it can hoodwink us all in broad daylight.

The SFPUC is using some of its staff to lie to the public and take positions that do not do justice to the issues linked to climate change, large fires, and flooding. 

It is only a matter of time before the SFPU Commissioners have to deal with issues they have not bothered to study and remedy. 

When it comes to the SFPUC employees, some two thousand - the results show over eighty percent are treated with disdain - and a few privileged do as they please.

The worst department is the SFPUC Water Department: Bill Taehan, Frank Jordon, and Steve Richie wait until the California Civil Rights Department and OSHA visit, and then they fall flat on their faces.

We miss Richard Sklar, a great General Manager.

Employees should be certified to work in "Confined Space" for at least 40 hours to learn how to handle hazardous materials; be careful, especially if you have sound lungs, and more. 

The matter was taken before the SF Office of Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) and falls under the United States Department of Labor. After nine months, SF OSHA indicted SFPUC Water Department on five counts. Five counts say a lot - and San Franciscans better read what follows.

We have several reservoirs in San Francisco: one at Hunter Point that hasn't been maintained for 15 years, and another in the Portola District that wasn't cleaned for over 5 years, and was only cleaned a few months ago by some third party. 

The Reservoir at Potrero Hill wasn't cleaned for 6 years; the homeless urinated and defecated, and the SFPUC knew: manager Bill Taehan and Frank Jordon; upper management Steven Richie; and the SFPUC Manager who lives a quarter mile from the Reservoir.

The Sunset Reservoir, which holds 177 million gallons of water, went unmaintained for 6 years. The Reservoir was drained about a year ago, spilling 177 million gallons of water and all the so-called drinking water.

The employees got no training or certificates, used brooms when a machine with rotating brushes breaks down the sludge, had no emergency monitors, had poor lighting, worked some forty to fifty underground, and SFPUC treats the employees like dirt.

SFPUC had the audacity to lie and send a fake certificate with no date or signature, and this nonsense has gone on for years. They sent this certificate to SF OSHA, and that is a crime.

At work, one manager, Bill Taehan, got some of his workers and entertained them by showing porn - the entire episode was in the SF newspaper, and the man is known for selling copper wire and stealing from a store - sunglasses and more. 

Right now, Bill Taehan is on a committee of so-called Technical Experts, seeking to use unvetted mandates linked to forcing selected units, homes, condominiums, and other units, to install "fire sprinklers", old buildings that will need expensive retrofits, most of those living paycheck to paycheck.

Bill Taechan represents the SFPUC as the worst and most corrupt with the City and County of San Francisco. He favors a third party to inspect what the SF Fire Department should do and thinks outsourcing is fine, without a second thought. 

Lombard Street has a Reservoir - below is the Reservoir and above is a concrete tennis court - some players have compromised the gate to the Reservoir and take a pee, and the SFPUC managers know about this and give a rat's ass. 

Imagine so-called clean drinking water pumped to homes and the financial district, and the SFPUC manager, who earns over $600,000, and his sidekick, $460,000.

Both are attorneys managing utilities, sewer and clean water treatment plants, a Quarry, millions of acres of land, some leased to cattle farmers by Calavares Dam, and more. These two clowns must be charged and fined heavily.

The SFPUC has been audited several times, and you can find the audits on the SFPUC website, shameless jackasses. They love to bully others; their time will come - they are already shitting bricks.

I am calling on the San Francisco Health Department to investigate the filthy, stinking, so-called clean drinking water pumped to a daytime population of over 1 million and a nighttime population of over 840,000.

I call on the SF Controller and the SF Inspector General to bring these thugs to book.

If this clean-drinking-water issue hits the media, shame on the Mayor and the City's Administrator.

The Treasurer, the head of the Health Department,  the Police Chief, the head of Public Works, and the other clowns who do not give a fuck.

Take it from me, San Francisco has gone to the hogs.
