THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2019 - HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO - THE SUNRISE CEREMONY - ON ALCATRAZ ISLAND - STARTING 5 AM - WARRIOR WOMEN, MEN, AND CHILDREN - WILL HEAD FOR THEIR DESTINATION BY FERRY.

Sunrise celebration -

Thursday, November 28, 2019 -

50th takeover of Alcatraz -

spurring many movements encouraging 

indigenous people to " fight for their rights ".

Thursday, November 28, 2019 - warrior women, men, children and youth, our beloved Elders - others who are in unity and stand shoulder to shoulder - with the Revolutionaries - that started a movement - this year celebrating - its 50th Anniversary.

Some one  must enthuse and spur those who are half-awake to take a cause too important - not to announce - justice and fair play -  for the indigenous people - all over this Nation.

Chief Sitting Bull of the Lakota Nation -

he never compromised -

teaching us a lesson for life -

never compromise and take the bait 

when sordid money is offered - and one' freedom compromised.

Much like Chief Sitting Bull, Chief Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph - the Great Spirit - awakened some indigenous leaders - to create movement - Chief Sitting Bull creating the Lakota Nation - a sovereign nation.

Chief Joseph -
he died for his people -
he stood for principles and never sold out.

Chief Joseph - fighting for his people - until he could endure the trials and tribulation - no more. 

The Whites have never given the indigenous the respect they deserve.  More the racists - that we have to deal with - one today
making his abode in the White House.

Today, we have many compromising - working behind the scene - some indigenous with greed folks - trying to win brownie points.

Today some have gathered -
to bring back the moments of glory -
state the reasons for the original take over of the island -
some of the leaders of the original take over  are alive -
they remind us that we must stand for what is right - 
  with tenacity and fortitude - in the land of the indigenous.

Protest in San Francisco -

in front of 850 Bryant - SF City Jail House.

Warrior indigenous women -

doing what they do best -

standing tall and representing -

fighting for what is right - women's right

to freedom and complete liberty.

We must not wait for someone else - to fight for our indigenous women - thousands have suffered at the hand of injustice - and continue to this day.

The murders, the rapes, the insults, all this and more must STOP - warrior men among the indigenous have always been known to be sensitive.

Not the opposite - again and again - I have met some indigenous men - mostly " jail birds " - who think they know better - until they are told about their own history.

It is pathetic the harm done to many indigenous women - by those that should know better.  Aho.

We go into ceremony - to do right - and stand up tall and represent - fight for what is right :

Here is one example - an indigenous woman murdered - and NO justice in sight - right here in San Francisco :

I have met some of the leaders - that took over Alcatraz Island.

I continue to work - with those indigenous that have their heart in the right place.

We must always honor our elders - listen to those that have wisdom  and follow the Great Spirit.

We must NOT allow some indigenous men to look down on our indigenous women - more those warrior indigenous women - who are standing up - when those the must are doing - nothing at all. I know what I speak about.

We do have indigenous warrior women and men - to remind us all - that those whose heart is in the right place - are there to stand for what is right. Aho.

We must be leery of those that make pacts with the Whites - create and carve out areas - for so called Community Benefits.
Benefits that are shared by some - while the majority continue to suffer.

If have some indigenous - who decide who get the bigger stipends - for the same service - discriminate against other indigenous for the same issue and service - there is something missing in this equation of sorts.

It is wrong for those who have the money and must  do right  -  give paltry, small stipends  to those that deserve more.

All this  - right here in San Francisco - linked to the SF Arts Commission and others who are from the SF Mayor's office - playing with fire.

This is Muwekma Ohlone Land - all tribes are welcome on Muwekma Ohlone land - more those warriors women and men whose heart is in the right place. The Great Spirit sees it all.

We cannot stand by and look the other way when it comes to doing right - actions count.

Fail to stand by our indigenous women warriors who have fallen prey to murder, are missing, commit suicide, and fall prey to other atrocities - where are our  indigenous - warrior men ?

Alcatraz once a  notorious jail house - was established on the island - wayward military, others seasoned criminals,  the Hopi Nation among others - were incarcerated - at Alcatraz.

All this and more is well known all over the world - " Escape from Alcatraz " - "  The Rock " and others myths - that enthrall - thousands of visitors - who care for the mundane and are materialistic.

I will be on the island come Thursday - early morning - and hope to see all my indigenous friends - sisters and brothers.

NO ONE CAN REPRESENT - IF YOUR HEART IS NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE - TO SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER - STANDARDS, ETHICS, MORALS, VETTED SPIRITUALITY COUNTS - POLITICIANS KEEP HOODWINKING THE PUBLIC - NOT FOR LONG.

More and more - NO one is going to listen to the  buffoons - they look you in the eye and lie.

More and more - no one is going to listen to anyone - that cannot respect himself or herself - if you cannot respect yourself - you cannot respect others.

If you want someone to pay attention - and you are shallow - do not expect results - and you can dream but you will reap no rewards. 

Building homes on contaminated ground -

with intent - is W R O N G .

More and more at ground zero - it is becoming - a rat's race - people forced to force two and three jobs - to make a living.

The rents are skyrocketing -  people are forced to live on the streets - entire families.

While - politicians make excuses - lie - and think that we will tolerate this nonsense.

Enough is enough.

If you do not have your heart in the right place - and sound spirituality to back you up  - these " devils "  can wipe one out.

Our children are confused - they cannot fathom the actions of the adults - confusing them - pandemonium every where - and with it - lack of  genuine " love " - for our children, youth, and young adults.

Gather the children -  speak to them with kindness - tell them you genuinely love them - and see how they react to you and your loved ones.

As human being we must take care of one another, bring people together - help them to go to a better place.

Today the norm is to exploit others - make money and foster GREED - and to think nothing of it. 

We know the ones that foster this pattern - the time has come to put a STOP to it - and you can only do it - with God's help.

We are placed on the Earth each one of us - to do good and make a difference.

It is not so much the verbosity - the diatribe, spewing hot air - that makes a difference - only our good actions - do.

Again and again we have corrupt politicians - who talk the talk but cannot possibly walk the walk.

Most of them are spiritually bankrupt.

These politicians and City Department Heads in San Francisco -   think by hoodwinking the public are large - in broad daylight - they will succeed.

These short successes are short lived - if you cheat, lie, hoodwink you will be judged on this Earth - that is all I will say.

I have seen it happen again and again - before me - before my very eyes.

Many keep withering - away - crawling like a snake and then giving up their spirit - more in pain and intense suffering.

Here is San Francisco - more in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco - where most infants, children, youth, young adults, our Elders - survive daily.

Those with compromised health live - the environs are contaminated and polluted - the crooks have sordid plans.

Plans are afoot to build 30,000 units on land that is prone to liquefaction and flooding.

Of course when the BIG ONE strikes - those areas prone to liquefaction and flooding will be most impacted.

As and when that day comes - this racist City and County of San Francisco - those in charge - will be pointing fingers at others - while those responsible will make excuses.

In the first place - we should not be building any homes on land that is prone to contamination, pollution, liquefaction, flooding.

Homes built on contaminated ground.

More land that registers high levels of cesium, plutonium, radium, ionizing radiation, methane - one of the worst polluted Parcel E 2 -  on Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

We have over 1500 toxic hot spots - in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco.

More the areas and  the corridor near Evans Street and Cargo Street - is a toxic soup. 

Millions of vehicles spewing dangerous particulate more PM 2.5, lead, mercury and other very dangerous - contaminants.

For the longest time Big Developers have harmed many  "with intent " - God sees it all.

To confront and take on these " evil people " one has to be educated on issues. 

I say this all the time - do your homework.

Sisters and Brothers - do not trust any politician - especially those that shout and scream - cannot reason at all.

They desperately want you to hear them - but will not listen to those - that have wisdom.

If you harm our infants and children - our Elders who cannot defend themselves.

You who do harm " with intent " - you will suffer - here on Earth.

You are warned.

You will drown in the cesspool of your own - creation. Aho.

SF MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION HAS FAILED SAN FRANCISCANS- - MUNI IS A MESS - MORE BECAUSE OF BICYLE LANES - IMPEDING MUNI BUSES - AGAIN AND AGAIN - LONDON BREED MAKES CHANGES - WITHOUT HAVING THE SLIGHTEST CLUE - WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG.

Jeffery Tumlin - appointed new Director

of SF Municipal Transportation Agency -

he replaces astute and stellar Ed Reiskin  -

two clowns by his side - let the circus begin.

Mayor London Breed has NO clue what she did - when she targeted Ed Reiskin and fired him - as the Director of SF Municipal Transportation Agency.

At Ed Reiskin's going away - I did not hear one single person - chide his stellar, performance.

Ed Reiskin - did his best and what is important to know - was constantly harassed by idiots like London Breed and Scott Weiner.

New buses were ordered in a hurry - pressured by London Breed and Scott Weiner.

Cars - cars for light rail - that are 5 feet short.

There  is an issue with the seats linked to the new buses - they are too high - and other configurations - that no one thought - through. Go figure.

London Breed is known for opening her mouth - uttering nonsense -  than thinking - what she exactly said. 

If she makes a mistake - she will never, ever apologize.

She is head strong - hails comes from the hood.

Again and again  - the way she thinks and acts - reminds everyone - the mannerless Mayor London Breed - is a disgrace to our City and County of San Francisco.

She is known as the Mayor that favors poop. The heifer that favor poop - is no good - and backs Big Developers. 

London Breed - is being watched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation - steeped in dark money.

Notice all the construction on Van Ness, on Geary especially by Kaiser Hospital, on Market Street, on San Bruno Avenue - may I say more. 

What is Mayor London Breed doing about congestion and back to back traffic - the worst in our Nation.

So how will this clown Jeffery Tumlin - magically succeeded to speed our buses - this is San Francisco - not Oakland - and I do not know where he got his experience - but he is not fit to be the Executive Director - of the SF Municipal Transportation Agency.

Jeff takes BART - which as you know is a mess -

here he is talking to GEICO - green man -

cheering himself up - pretending to handle SFMTA.

This clown Jeffery Tumlin talks a lot -  he wants to listen to others -  take their suggestion - before he makes any decisions.
No leader can take this route in today world and make headway.

You have to have wisdom. 

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

Wisdom is wisdom - and wisdom comes from good actions and experience not listening to buffoons - more when you surround ourself with folks liked Mayor London Breed.

London Breed has NO stellar experience about transportation, nor does she have with housing, less with environmental issues, and even less with safety and sound education - and there is more.

Well, I give Jeff Tumlin -20 years to fix the many problems we have here in San Francisco.

Again and again - - we have had idiots like Scott Weiner and London Breed - shout and scream - initiate and force actions - that have come to bite this City and County in the butt.

What is London Breed going to do about the Medallions and the Taxi Drivers.

This City and County of San Francisco - is responsible and should be held responsible - for hoodwinking the taxi drivers - mostly immigrants - and London Breed thinks she can get away with murder - in broad daylight.

Some one has BLOOD on their hands - the City and County of San Francisco  - accepted thousands as much as $250,000 for the medallions - that are worth nothing today.

The City encouraged Lift, Uber, Side-car - others to compete with the taxi drivers - the gig companies - causing congestion - and all thee " gig " companies must be fined - and told to go take a hike.

Mayor Edwin Mah Lee -

he encouraged Uber and other " gig" entities -

destroyed our Taxi Business -

made the medallions - worthless.

Even the City of London has chosen to put these "gig " operations on hold.

It is time  time - we do it, too - not favor " gig " companies as did Edwin Mah Lee.

What is London Breed going to do about the Light Rail Cars ordered - each car is five feet short ?

This one fact and what I have mentioned above - are one of many defects  - that were not thought out throughly - and now we the tax payers - have to deal with the consequences.

We now have a phobia to hire folks - based on their life style -

and more incompetent.

These idiots that stand shoulder to shoulder with an inept, clueless, and lacking leadership - Mayor London Breed may say - what they want to say - but actions count.

We have had Michael Burns, Emilio Cruz, Nathaniel Ford - all of these Executive Directors - tried to handle MUNI - and could not.

Willie L. Brown Jr., when he was Mayor promised to - fix MUNI in hundred days - and could not -  he apologized but NOT London Breed - she keeps contributing to the - " cesspool ".

London Breed has been wheeling and dealing with the Big Developers - and what is happening in Oakland right now - the many protests - will happen in San Francisco - very soon. 

The tax payers of San Francisco are fed up with London Breed - and with only 23% coming out to vote - she won.

London Breed  does not understand nor comprehend - that her token victory - is one that she will drown in - a cesspool of her own creation and that of the minions that pander to her.

Watch out - Loud Mouth - is about -

halter, shelter - here come trouble. 

London Breed is not worth the $366,000 plus benefits - we pay this good for nothing  - loud mouth - who barks up the wrong tree - every opportunity she gets.

The bicycle coalition has a Political Action Committee (PAC) they use this tool - to contribute to very corrupt politicians - and have cause serious problems - all over San Francisco.

San Francisco has hills - and riding bicycles does not do justice to all - the many Seniors that make their abode in San Francisco.

The  many hills that all find difficult to tackle, riding. 

Again and again bicycle riders - take on MUNI buses and no one in their right mind - wants to speak Truth of Power.

At one time -  someone - took the Bicycle Coalition to court - challenged the Environmental Impact Report - that the Bicycle Coalition - did not address - in the first, place.

More - impacting Quality of Life issues - and did not adhere to Transportation Standards - all plans adversely impacting our major corridors were impacted - and the Court took years to address the situation at hand.

London Breed - open that mouth -

and spews diatribe - inept and clueless -

lacks leadership and is head strong -

mostly importantly she is not educated on issues.

San Franciscans and decent tax payers are fed up with Mayor London Breed.

If she cannot get what she wants - she acts like a thug - mannerless and lack etiquette - she is know for open that wide mouth - and barking up the wrong tree.

Again she is pitting decent citizens - appointing immoral, unethical commissioners - and other on committee - coming up with concepts like EQUITY that favor some - slogans like Resiliency - let us see her act - when we have a major emergency - she and her minions.

As things stand today - homelessness is increasing - our Elders dying slowly on the streets of San Francisco. The Mentally challenged assaulting innocent tourists and others - and nothing what so ever is done  - more down town.

The rents are sky rocketing and we still have over 30,000 homes vacant and over 50,000 market rate condominiums vacant.

Downtown and elsewhere on Clement Street, on Mission Street, on 3rd Street, North Beach - elsewhere - too many vacant stores - and now they want to fine the owners - to pay a fine - for failing to find - anyone to operate the stores. 

Try opening a store - try getting the permits - it takes over two years. 

All sorts of sordid rules and regulations - when one wants to open a store.

As and when one does open - after all the trials and tribulation  - you have deal with employees who cannot find a place to live in San Francisco  -  have to commute from far off places- and there is more.

Mayor London Breed is bad news - anything she touches is jinxed - our housing, the Chase Stadium and the Warriors, our Elders slowly dying on the streets of San Francisco - her only solace pussyfooting with the butches - who will use her and throw her away - like a dirty rag.

I have not read one single legislation that she has initiated - accept legislation initiate by those who cheat, hoodwink, and bluff all in broad daylight.

Finally - MUNI is a mess - because the operators are treated with disdain - and already the MUNI drivers and more the MUNI Union Representatives - are speaking up - they do not like what they see. 

Not once has Mayor London Breed address the concerns of the MUNI operators in a meaningful manner.

On San Bruno Avenue SFMTA has chosen to eliminated 46% of the parking - there has NOT been one meaningful meeting - with the community at large - and the businesses who just found out - the situation at hand.

We will NOT allow this to happen - never mind our District 9 Supervisor was fast asleep at the cockpit and has just woken up.

Again and again bicycle racks are depriving cars of parking - the racks are not used at all. Never assume - we all will ride bicycle - not with the rude bicyclists riding like crazy - and creating pandemonium.

Time the bicyclists pay a license fee to ride our streets - $50 dollars at a minimum and $100 at a maximum. Also that crash that head gear is made mandatory - and speed limits enforced - strictly. Time will tell.
