COMMUNITY BENEFITS - LINKED TO THE SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (SSIP) - DOLED OUT TO VESTED INTEREST - BY JULIET ELLIS AND DWAYNE JONES - TIME THE RICO ACT IS IMPLEMENTED.







525 Golden Gate Avenue -
the headquarters of the SF Public 
Utilities Commission and where all
the wheeling and dealing takes place
millions of Community Benefits linked to the
Sewer System Improvement Project wasted -
no transparency and very less accountability.


The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) formed in 1996 by a " thug" mayor - Willie L. Brown Jr. - always had one interest in mind - cheating the tax payer - in broad daylight.

Today the SFPUC is spiraling down the cesspool of its own creation. It own project dealing with crap is not going anywhere - and what is really happening - the on going corruption - the shit is hitting the fence - and as you all know shit floats - for all the world to see.

The Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP) started with a Bond Measure in the amount of $6 billion ( yes, six billion dollars) - now, it has reached $10 billion - and the entire project is in deep trouble.




A general view of the many projects -
each project has been craved out -
and bids accepted from nefarious entities -
change orders is the name of the game -
and all this and more will soon be revealed -
complete with empirical data and the crooks 
behind the scene - Dwayne Jones, Todd Kyger,
a host of other crooks that I have been monitoring.

The digesters started with a price of about $ 1.3 billion then rose to $2.3 billion and now have reached over $3 billion.
No meetings have been held - where the public at large - is informed. The paradox even the SF Public Utilities Commissioners are kept in the dark.

All the while Juliet Ellis and Dwayne Jones - doling out millions  - Community Benefits money - to entities that did not participate in any of the preliminary scoping meetings, the many workshops - but now are making hay while the sun shines.

BAYCAT, Girls 2000, Young Community Developers, Hunters Point Families - other crooked entities lurking in the dark -laughing to the bank - with our Community Benefits that we fought for. All this nonsense has been going on since 2012.

task force was created  - consisting of community members was step up to study the SSIP project -  more to create Community Benefits - 5 % on a billion that is $50 million on a billion - on $10 billion the estimated cost right now - amounting to $500 million.

$250 million for workforce and $250 million for outreach.
Dwayne Jones an outsider who lives in Oakland heading Workforce but has his hand in everything - calls himself the 
" gate keeper " this one individual must be sent to jail - now.





Juliet Ellis - convincing some gullible 
students who have NO clue 
about any projects - the are convinced
something is happening - but nothing viable
and sustainable - mostly hoodwinking in broad daylight.


Juliet Ellis a transplant from the East Coast - who also has roots in Oakland - and more with Green For All - joined the SF Public Utilities Commission under Gavin Newsom - and today is the Assistant General Manager of External Affairs.

Has added titles to her name head of Community Benefits and Strategy - the woman is corrupt and was fined by the Fair Political Practices Commission - for sending $200,000 to her former Non-Profit in Oakland - she had to return the money - and is shameless and should be sent to jail.

More charged using the RICO ACT - and this nonsense has been going on for years.





Dwayne Jones who is not from San Francisco -
lives in Oakland - a transplant from Los Angeles -
why do we tolerate such crooks in our community -
he call himself a gatekeeper - a businessman -
and suddenly is our new found Ph


Dwayne Jones who does not work for the SFPUC - has been debarred from bidding on jobs with the SF Housing Authority  - penalized by the IRS when he worked for Platinum Consultants.

Now goes around bragging he is a business man and a philanthropist - which is a JOKE.

The money he doles out is Community Benefits linked to the Sewer System Improvement Project - the man must be charged under the RICO ACT.

Hundreds of his minion - mostly ignorant fools receive money from him - and do his bidding. All that has come to a STOP - as he could not account for the thousands spent.

The man purports to be an advocate for social justice and economic development - I have never seen him in the trenches - I have always know him to rob Peter to pay Paul. He continues to hoodwink some - not for long.

Dwayne lives in Oakland - he is NOT from San Francisco - and worked closely with "thugs" the likes of Gavin Newsom and Edwin Mah Lee - and now closely works with Mayor London Breed.

He has a penchant to steal proprietary curricula and other one of kind document from  others - and claim that they belong to him. He has used this tactics to give City Build documents that do not belong to him.

Again and agin - he tries to take material from workshops given by others - he steals the material and claims - that the material is his. We have the empirical data - and the man will be questioned shortly.

His ilk other likes Derf Butler, Clifton Burch, Keith Jackson - scumbags who want to make fast money - breaking the law.

Malia  Cohen and London Breed - have had dealings with the above mentioned thugs - and their names mentioned in current Court proceed by some leading judges.











Our infants, children, youth, young adult, our Elders, those with compromised health - more our Mentally and Physically Challenged are slowly dying.

Our Elders are living in tents in despicable condition. In recent weeks these Elders have been rounded up - their belonging disposed off - and they are sent to jail - where they are treated with disdain. All this under the direction of Mayor London Breed - a political whore par excellence.

The" thugs " that I have mentioned above and others - all Blacks - are focused on filling their coffers - with money - more Community Benefits money - that should be spent to serve those that need help most.

We have entities - most of them outsiders - given $300,000 on a platter - to open - Cafes, restaurants, places where they sell wine, one has a brewery and all sorts of parties are held at the Laughing Monk -  these crooked Blacks pander to entities that are profiting - and most of them do not care about the community.

Walk on Third Street from Yosemite Street to Evans Shopping Center - and see the changes - linked to gentrification.

Cafes  offering expensive coffee and pastries - when those that need help most have NO money in their pockets - to buy a plain cup of coffee - small size.




Fancy Conceptual Plans - more a dream -
you wake up - and -
it could be your worse nightmare.


The Digestors already have been delayed for one year - that happened a year ago - and now at the last SFPUC meeting another clown came to the podium - and stated in a convoluted manner - the Digestors will be delayed for one more year.

In the interim the stench from the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant reigns supreme - where is Juliet Ellis and Dwayne Jones - two crooks on this fact - starring at their face. This outsiders - with no links to the community - are making hay while the sunshines.

We were told the stench from the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant  would be curtailed - according to the timelines of the SFPUC - the latest one year ago. 

Now we have we have to wait for one more year.  The respiratory diseases, asthma, headaches, burning eyes and throat, and a host of other ailments are borne by those adversely impacted.







Karen Kubick - they let her go -
she could not tolerate the on going nonsense -
the messed today has reached saturation point -
Karen Kubick was the SSIP Project Manager.


Those having institution memory and experience Surjeet Singh the head of the Project Managers is gone.

So is the Project Manager of the SSIP Karen Kubick.

So is Tony Flores, so is Tommy Moala the Plant Manager - so is Mark Harris who came up the ranks - and no one seems to give a rat's ass.

Young Community Developers have NO clue about workforce and have not created any Career Jobs - for all the money that they are given - Community Benefits money - wasted - with NO accountability and transparency. 





Shamann Walton -
steeped in - " dark money "
we must shed light where there is abject darkness -
rid the scumbags from decent society.







In one case $1 million for training - created a cohort of about 15 students -  most of them having on an average 8 grade school skills  and education - told to attend the workshop -  then told that they would NOT get jobs.

So where is all the money going to?

Shamann Walton was the Director when these ploys, machinations, and shenanigans - taking place. 

Did he spend some of the money on the District 10 Supervisors Elections - which he won?

Since his untimely Election - Shamann Walton has been pussyfooting around. 





Rudolf, Dwayne, Jones Enterprises -
sponsored this advertisement -
Business man and Philanthropist  -
with access to Community Benefits money - galore -
RDJ - better known as the Gatekeeper of Bayview -
who the fuck is this man to be so pompous?



Was some of the money spent to elect Mayor London Breed?

He is steeped in " dark money " and will be questioned - the facts are there - and he cannot run away with lies and that smirk on his face. 

He is from Vallejo - that is what we know. Every inquiry says that - in black and white. He is also a  - " jail bird ".

The sucker is not from San Francisco - he is from Vallejo - his heart is not in the right place - he is an anathema - and must be removed from office.

He must be charged under the RICO ACT he and his minions.

Way back in 2012 the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission created a list to be addressed linked to the Sewer System Improvement Project and Community Benefits in General - that list is sitting on the shelves collecting dust :

     1.  General Community Benefits Services.

     2.  Adult and Youth Workforce Development

     3.  Arts and Culture

     4.   Economic Development Contracting

     5.  Education

     6.  Environmental Justice

     7.  Land Use and Neighborhood Revitalization

     8.  Corporate Social Responsibility, In-Kind Contributions,
          and Volunteerism

     9.  Diversity and Inclusion

   10.  Stakeholder and Community Involvement

   11. Public Policy



Juliet Ellis - 
she has been an anathema to the community -
with intent - she has harmed thousands -
she thinks she can fool all the people -
all the time - her end is nearing.





WHERE IS THE JUSTICE
WHY MUST THE COMMUNITY SUFFER ?


We are now in the year 2019 and for all the talk - there has been no action - nothing viable and sustainable that we can mention. 

The SF Public Utilities Commission more Dwayne Jones and Juliet Ellis have FAILED the community - and we have been busy collecting the empirical data - cheating, lying, hoodwinking, wasting millions of dollars.

For all the talk there has been no walk.

There has been a lot of hoodwinking - all documented - and we look forward to using the RICO ACT to send some of the crooks to jail - for a long, long time. 

Make no bones about that fact.

THE SALMON AND OHTER FISH - WHO LIVED IN OUR RIVERS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS - THEN HAMPERED BY DAMS - ARTIFICIALITY OF SORTS - NOW WE DEEM AND QUESTION - WHOSE FAULT IT IS - THAT THE SALMON - WILL NOT GIVE UP THEIR FREEDOM.







The Salmon is King -
they traversed from place to place -
using a GPS second to none -
now impeded by dams, nurseries, and all
sorts of ploys, machinations, and shenanigans







Greed knows no bounds -
what was once pristine - has now been contaminated -
at this late day - someone wants to do something -
half heartedly - " your heart has to be in the right place ".



The Salmon and other Fish - who lived and bred in our North California rivers - free - for thousands of years - only to be hampered by dams - and artificiality of sorts - now deem whose fault it is - we human have a responsibility - do we have our heart in the right place?

We would not accept every woman be artificially inseminated - and intrude on women and their freedom. We fail to understand the role of the Salmon - and all it stands - and has stood for thousands of years.

For thousands of years when the Salmon announced their arrival - fires were lit - all along the route the Salmon took - before they spawned - and then gave up their life. 

This ritual must be fully understood - but a segment of the population - has been fixated on money - artificial methods using nurseries - and trying to avert the main reason - why the Salmon has met its fate - the GREED of some human beings - who still do not get it.

Your message from the Salmon - who cannot speak for itself - " get out of way " - " if you do not - you will perish - you mean deeds - have now reach saturation point - and your evil deed must be reckoned - now "






All these legalese invented by those who know little if nothing at all - about the Salmon - the life of the indigenous and their inter-action with Mother Earth and all life - is well known and acknowledged by those - " who have their heart in the right place - the indigenous people - who respect Mother Earth and all life and that includes the Salmon, the Buffalo, the deer, the many form of life and food - that nurture us all - to better understand the situation at hand".

The State of California has not been kind to the indigenous people - the Tribes of California. Up until 1927 - edict went out to kill the " Indians " from the California Governors who sent  " edicts " to kill the " Indian " -  for their scalp and evil deed - one could fetch a measly - $5.

What I have stated above was not too long ago - we are in year 2019 and nothing much happened - good. 

Today, the discrimination has an ugly icing - they say what you want them to say - and then stab you in back - as you turn your back.

Human beings can never, ever challenged Mother Nature - we know that from the destruction of our land, the forest, the rivers and lakes, the Oceans - the pollution of the skies and the depletion of the Ozone layer. The increase in the carbon footprint - and the contamination of the watershed.

Our air is so filthy - filled wit particulates more PM 2.5 - and most lay person - know little about respiratory diseases and heart problems - and now to cap it all - much like they played hell with the Salmon - the monsters have adversely impacted our infants, our children, our youth, our young adults, our Elders, and those with compromised health.

Soon you will hear about " toxic stress " - evil factors that slowly but surely - destroy human life.

We see around us - experts - those in charge of our health - talk too much - but there is no action - no action that is holistic.

Money is what the " Health Maintenance Organizations " were created or - by evil, greedy folks with no conscience - what so ever - all these vermin want is more  wealth - and never mind how they get the money. 

Just reflect on the three words - " Health", "Maintenance"  and  "Organization ".











F a m i l y 


The injustice done to those indigenous people who have been deprived of their freedom - knows no bounds - history has not been truthful - and we see what is happening today at the White House - depriving the Physically Challenged of funds, treating our infants, children, youth, young adults, Elders, those with compromised health with disdain.

And there is more.

The divisiveness and corruption reigning in our Nation once better known as Turtle Island.

Now, know as the United States of America - begs the question - why are so many tribes - many of them have signed treaties and are sovereign nations - but yet live on Reservations.

Reservations -  created by those " evil to the core " .

Those that mess with the children of the Great Spirit - those who with intent harm the innocent - they will foam at the mount and die a slow death.

There is only so much - the innocent cries - begin for justice and fair play - we have seen some signs - the Great Spirit sees it all. Those that practice " evil " - this is the clarion call - Stop you evil deeds - now.














Camp Oceti Sakowin -
the land of Chief Sitting Bull -
he united the Lakota Nations -
we honor him and his actions that stand true today.


Water is life - and we went to North Dakota to show our solidarity and documented that adventure for all generation to see and witness - " one must stand tall and represent - as long as one has life" . Water is life.

When the "devil " decided with intent to pollute and contaminate the water - decided with intent - to make money - by impeding the " freedom of the Salmon " - building pipelines in very close proximity to " clean drinking water " -  something is wrong - very wrong.






Indigenous people know better - long before the " paleface" came and looked us in the eye and lied " - long before that happened -  the prophets and their  prophecies revealed it all in detail.

AT YESTERDAY'S SF PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING - WE WERE TOLD THERE IS A YEAR' S DELAY - TOTALLY TWO YEARS - COSTING THE SF TAX PAYERS -0VER $500 MILLION - AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE.





The design shown to the public early on -
has now been drastically changed -
with numerous change orders - totally over $1 billion.


At yesterday SF Public Utilities meeting - held at SF City Hall - in Room 400 - March 26, 2019 at 1:30 pm - we were told that the Digesters and related projects - would be delayed by another year - the Sewer System Improvement Project at the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant - situated in the Bayview.

This recent delay - makes it two years in total - costing the tax payers -  over $1 billion and no one seems to blink an eye - all tax payers money.

The Digesters initially was set at a price of $1.6 billion - then increased to $2.3 billion.

It has crossed $3 billion plus - and we all have not been told  -why with all the excuses made -  the details have not been revealed - at this late date - in a cloudy, foggy, shady - manner.

This talk about the land on which the bio-solid operations is located.

The location of the digesters - the complexity of  head-waters project that creates the rain water,  the raw sewage - in our dual system - the Phelps sewage treatment  - situated in the SF Bayview very close to the Southeast Community Facility Commission Building - situated at SF 1800 Oakdale Avenue.

Some of us following the " situation "   long ago at the initiation deliberation we chose the site - we found out about liquefaction and the watershed, we found out more - but those that were paid millions - failed to do their homework.

They failed to scope the project to standard, failed to test the ground - drilling and testing the dirt - failed to address liquefaction and other factors - and are now crying - wolf, wolf !

At this late date - we are told - it requires a year more - to address the many faults - that the experts pretend - not to have  know - and all this and more - and lies of the highest - order. 

I have been following this nonsense from day one - and now with the exit Tony Flores, Surjeet Singh Senior Project Manager, Karen Kubick Senior Project Manager of the Sewer System Improvement Project.

Tommy Moala Manager of the Phelps Sewage Treatment Plant, Mark Harris - well versed with the operations and some one who came up the ranks - was not promoted and so left to get a better job with the City of Pacifica managing their state of art operations.

Even the Chair of the SF Public Utilities Ann Moller Caen had a lot to say - and did not like that - once again one year more was added - to the earlier one year delay - totally two years - and the tax payers footing the bill - with all the change orders and more. 

When will this nonsense stop - we the tax payers want to know?

In the interim our infants, our children, our youth, our young adults, our Elders - those with compromised health - are all suffering. When will those that I have mentioned above be helped - especially our infants and children - suffering what is now termed - " toxic stress ".





Dwayne Jones - Businessman 
and Philanthropist - who uses
Community Benefits money - to win browny point
he is a crook and a " thug " and move around Scott Free.





In the letter above Dwayne Jones purports to call meetings as if he works for the SF Public Utilities Commission - which he does not.

Purports to review technical documents - which he does not - he has no technical expertise - was so ever.

Purports that he works long hours - which he does not - most of the time he is wheeling and dealing - more, now at his new office on Bayshore Blvd - the Business Center - in the Bayview.

Purports that he needs to be paid in advance to better serve the community - all of which is hog wash.

Recently he sponsored a class of about 20 students at 150 Executive Park - the training given by a State Compliance Officer Lin Daly Roberts - Lin Daly Roberts has yet to be compensated.

Of all the students who attended - only one got a temporary job at the Emerson Project. At Emerson Dwayne Jones has made sure - he has a role doing Outreach and is being paid for over 15 years - a contract signed - this is a conflict of interest - anyway one looks at it.

The rest  of the student attending the class were told that there were No Job openings.

That the training in itself - was what the student needed - all instructions coming from Dwayne Jones - all well noted - complete with documentation.

Apparently this cohort of students - in the training - were allocated $ 1 million ( that is one million ) and less than 3% was spent - so who pocketed the rest of the money? All Community Benefits money - all Community Benefits tied to the Sewer System Improvement Project.



Juliet Ellis - 
the Assistant General Manager -
for External Affairs - her first action way back in 2013
was to send $200,000 to her former 
non-profit that she was on the Board while still 
holding a job at SF Public Utilities Commission -
the name of the non-profit Green For All in the East Bay.


For the above crime - Juliet Ellis was fined by the Fair Political and Practices Commission - Juliet Ellis as I have stated - still works and still fosters nefarious activities.

Why  are we tolerating these " crooks " - who continue to use Community Benefit money - to serve their own needs - and win browny point.  The crooks filling their own coffers - those that are suffering the community at large.

Advocates  who speak Truth to Power - targeted.

The SF Controller Office has all the empirical data - and the time has come to bring about some adjudication.

I have been following this nonsense since 2008 - and we are now in 2019.
