WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE - BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK - WHY WOULD SAN FRANCISCO - BRING WATER FROM 170 MILES AWAY - HETCH HETCHY - AND FLUSH OUR TOILETS - WITH CLEAN DRINKING WATER.








From the Hetch Hetchy Vally to Crystal Springs - from Crystal Springs to University Mound and other Reservoirs in San Francisco  - clean drinking water is delivered to San Francisco - and most do not get our water - every single drop is stolen the indigenous.


 San Franciscans have had it good - when it comes to clean, pristine, drinking water - but not for long.

Soon after the 1906 Earthquake  - plans were afoot by the authorities and powerbrokers to bring water to San Francisco - to address the lack of clean drinking water - the recent fire that destroyed most of San Francisco.

The politicians use every wicked trick in the hat - to confuse, lie, and hoodwink the National Park Service - the Forest Department, the Bureau of Land Management - the Raker Act of 1913 was passed by powerful politicians - and the rest is history. 

Few know about the Raker Act and less that hydroelectricity was key in bring income to fill the coffers - of SF City Hall - it is interesting how Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&e) - completed the electrical grid - the City and County brought the high-power line and stopped 30 miles - South of San Francisco.

PG&E completed the high-power line - brought electricity to San Francisco - and the rich investors made money for over a hundred years - until the recent fires in Napa and the surrounding areas.





The history of California - is full of thieves, thugs, the worst type of folks - stealing, raping, shooting and killing, robbing land - and more. 

They took it all from the California indigenous - just because they could. Whites had no qualms of conscience - committing crimes and do it today - most White Collar Crimes.

To make the situation worse, these crooks lie, lie, and lie and rewrite history.

The true history of California is never told nor taught in the many schools and colleges. Few have read the history -  and very few historians have taken the time - to research and speak Truth to Power.

 Today, these crooks are exposed - simply put the lies no more work - and when that happens - all hell breaks loose.

The paradox is in San Francisco - many Blacks have chosen to commit crimes - adversely impacting - thousands. One of them is Harlan Kelly.

Most Black came from the South - places like Texas and Louisiana - worked hard - built schools and churches - many bought their own homes - and by far were not know for corruption and crime as are today Blacks in San Francisco. 

Hundreds of crooked Black worked with Harlan Kelly.

Now, those Blacks who worked with Harlan Kelly have chosen to shun Harlan Kelly.

Blacks in San Francisco- are fully aware of the " crab mentality " - and even as the world knows what is happening - we have Sophie Maxwell, Dwayne Jones, Shamann Walton, DionJay Brookter, Derrick Smith, Malia Cohen, London Breed - defy decency and think they can hoodwink us in broad daylight.





Harland and Juliet - the two main culprits that wasted millions of dollars - Community Benefits - and no one seems to care less about crimes such as this - call for the RICO ACT.

 

To this day - the indigenous are being played. 

The indigenous people who have lived here for over 20,000 - all Carbon dates - artifacts and human remains.

Immigrants here came to make a good living - and few associate and work with the indigenous - who are true keepers and protectors - of Mothers Earth.

Before that, many Blacks - more those who were slaves - were always helped by the indigenous tribes - the runaway slaves - took refuge with the indigenous tribes - but that gratitude is rarely recognized by the many loud mouth politicians - the kind of Malia Cohen, London Breed, Harlan, and Naomi Kelly, and others who are the scum of the Earth.

In San Francisco, with about 840,000 population - and a budget of $13.7 Billion - thousands of San Franciscans are homeless.

The Mayor London Breed is Black, the President of the Board of Supervisors is Black, the SF Police Chief is Black, the former City Administrator was Black - all of them corrupt - and more Blacks - lackeys - now all being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Can you imagine it cost $70,000 per year - to live in a tent - in a program embraced by the Mayor of San Francisco - providing three meals - the tents located on a parking lot - with some pit stops and maybe a shower place - one or two - all for a huge sum of $70,000 per year. 

Many homeless are forced to crash anywhere they can - under some bushes, under the bridges - at the doorstep of the many homes used to the homeless.

Many homeless live on the streets - surrounded by filth - and in makeshift tents. 

The homeless - are San Franciscans who have fallen on bad times.

The SF Board of Supervisors (SFBOS) - give a damn about those who need help most.

Offices should be set up in each district - to help those who need help fill the many forms - the convoluted language - the idiots want to know too much - how much you make, what you owe, and so on so forth.

All the time, the SF Board of Supervisors - receives money - $50,000 and more from certain sources - we know this is happening and monitoring the situation at hand. 

The situation for those that need help is made worse by the Novel COVID-19 pandemic. - many live in tents - with no water to wash, no electricity, no amenities that we all take for granted.

The corrupt politicians who run San Francisco - will not own the problem - the homeless situation - some 12,000 plus living in dire straits - therein lies - a serious problem - someone has Blood on their hands. Make no bones about it.





Governors of California send out edits to kill the Native Americans - up until 1927. The California Governor's office would pay a measly $5 for a scalp.

The atrocities -  committed by those in power against the indigenous people of Calfornia cries to heaven - some apology has been made by the current Governor Gavin Newsom - but that does nothing much -  holistic restitution is the answer. 

 The indigenous people who lived here in California for over 20,000 years - all carbon-dated - their remains and artifacts - proof who lived here in California before the strangers came and polluted everything that was pristine.

The indigenous people always respected Mother Earth -  knew and know to take little and keep more for future generations.

Not so the Whites - who cut down the Redwood Trees - without ever thinking why would one cut so many "old-growth forests."

The Whites contaminated the rivers and lakes - take and waste they produce and dump it where they please.  They have destroyed all that was pristine and more.

As human beings - all humans must enjoy equal rights and all humans treated with dignity.

It was here in San Francisco that the United Nations was formed. This fact is not impressed by our political leaders - steeped in corruption of the worse order - a dark cloud hangs over SF City Hall.

Leading the charge of abject corruption - Mayor London Breed - who has no vision, less leadership - opens her mouth and spews diatribe.

In San Francisco, we have over 1100 miles of clean drinking water  - over 60% over 90 years old. There is money to upgrade the clean drinking water pipes - and the project should have been completed - two years ago. Today - we have no clue.

We know that millions of clean water leech into the Watershed - maintenance has been prolonged - and deferred maintenance is not the way to go.


 

Harlan Kelly - the former General Manager - indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation - now waiting adjudication - and for sure will be jailed for his many criminal activities.


Harlan Kelly worked with the many Blacks, Dwayne Jones, Juliet Ellis, Derrick Smith, Girls 2000, Hunters Point Family, Young Community Developers, others too many to name.

Oscar James, DionJay Brookter, Shamann Walton, Eloise Patton, Veronica Hunnicutt, Linda Richarson, Toye Moses, Sheryl Evans Davis, Shakira Simley, WEBCOR, AECOM/PARSONS - the many sub-contractors. 

More those who have written supporting letters to allow Dwayne Jones to carry on his nefarious activities -  sent to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission that will be held on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 - a virtual of sorts the SF Public Utilities Commissioners patting each other behind.

At one SFPUC meeting - Sophie Maxwell used the F*** word - abusing her fellow Commissioner Paulson. 

This is totally uncalled for - yet we, the public, are reminded - how to behave - at the SFPUC meetings. 

These reminders should be given to the SF Public Utilities Commission - who ramble and ramble and kick the can down the street.

Imagine Sophie Maxwell using the F*** word - caught on tape - and not apologizing to the public at large. We know more about her and will reveal the details - at the appropriate time.

More, when the SFPU Commissioners - have failed us all - cheating, lying - making sordid deals behind closed doors - and should be ashamed of themselves.







Harlan Kelly, who is now indicted for many criminal offenses - was fired as the General Manager - Harlan with intent - harmed thousands -  and must pay the price for his stupidity.

Today - in 2021 - we are called to reflect - how nonchalant we have been and continue to be.

After - all these years - now that we have vaccinations - have wasted thousands of doses - deprived the world and more those poor and who have to be uplifted - treating them with disdain.




The Lyell and Maclure glaciers - each year - the glaciers - hold less snow as climate change players havoc - melting and depleting - sending us a message - for how long can we fully rely on these two glaciers? 



To the left the Lyell glacier - to the right the Tuolumne River - the Tuolumne fills the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir - each year - the San Francisco fills the reservoir - to provide 4 years of water - never mind with the climate is hot - millions of gallons evaporated - some of that could be put back into the Tuolumne River - to provide some succor to the Salmon. 



The Glaciers no more hold water in large amounts - slowly - but surely - those of us who take more and more- will realize - we will have to turn to other methods - recycling wastewater, capturing rainwater - conserving more - Water is Life.





I have always learned to respect the Elders - the indigenous people - from all over the world.

Again and again, at some workshops and meetings, I have asked who will speak for the salmon?

The salmon, for thousands of years - have provided nutrition to the old-growth redwoods - flora and fauna and more. 

For thousands of years - the Elder and those who listen to them - lit fires - all along the river's path - welcoming the salmon.

The glaciers provided the rivers with water - the salmon adapted to the depth of the water in the rivers. 

The other factors better know to the salmon - then the two-legged animal who think they know better - talk with a forked tongue - and have destroyed all that was pristine - but now has been contaminated. 

The rivers, the creeks, the lakes, and more were all protected by the indigenous people. 

As nature stood to provide to all who needed help, there was no room for a concrete damn - that catered to ulterior motives - corrupt politicians in San Francisco - counterparts in Washington D.C.  - Greed was their primary motive - selling water stolen the indigenous people.

John Muir fought a good fight, and so did many others - evil won - linked to greed - Mayor Phelan and his lackeys.  John Muir died - despondent - he was not perfect - however, his focus on Mother Earth and the environment - was spot on.

San Franciso has no connection with Hetch Hetchy Valley - except that a rogue engineer - put a notice on a tree - claiming the area - the Hetch Hetchy location one of a kind - its beauty second to none -  on this Earth. 

The Tuolumne River received its water from the two glaciers Lyell and Maclure - the Toulumne provided resources to a large area and all long its unimpeded course.

Then came the devils - who dammed the Hetch Hetchy valley - which gave these devils permission to cause harm to the indigenous people, the salmon, and other fish, the redwoods and other trees, the flora, fauna, the rivers, creeks, lakes, and more?






We simply cannot adversely impact nature - and then think we can fix the situation at hand.

We simply cannot overfish, overcut the old-growth forests,  contaminate the rivers, creeks, lakes, ocean, and think we can fix it. The situation at hand. It simply does not work like that.

I have been worldwide and seen for myself - how human beings have dammed rivers, cut forests, I look for the frogs and where the frogs abound and flourish - most everything is fine - that is my smelt test.

Rivers, creeks, lakes - have long served their purpose to help fauna, flora, birds of all kinds, more migratory - humans - and more.

Indigenous - people who have kept so much of our Earth pristine - only for the GREEDY to cause so much - damage.

We have lost over a million species - and more as climate change, huge fires, droughts getting worse - millions of human beings dying of starvation.

In the midst of this needs assessment - the Novel COVID-19 pandemic - hitting those that are poor - having to ability to have access to vaccines. 

The Pharmaceutical companies - trying to make more billions.

Already -  bailed out by the United States and other Developed nations - now trying to suggest - " boosters " are needed without empirical data.

 Greed knows no bounds - while daily, millions are slowly dying.





I have been to places to see large glaciers - more in Alaska - and seen for myself - these majestic glaciers - slowly but surely - fall apart - global warming, the depletion of the ozone - pollution and particulates - the mess some greedy humans have created - more in the last 350 years.



The skyline of San Francisco has changed - daily, we use millions of gallons of water for drinking and more to flush down the toilet - clean, pristine drinking water. We cannot do that anymore - and should have been using greywater - twenty years ago.


For over 35 years, I have been monitoring the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) created in 1996 and related departments and entities.

The SF Water Department - the Department of Public Works - the SF Planning Department, the SF Ethics Commission, the SF Board of Supervisors, the San Francisco Health Department - and more. 

We lack leaders with a vision -  we once had leaders in San Francisco - worth the salt. No more.

The SFPUC is right now sinking - there is no transparency and less accountability.

We have organizations in San Francisco - some groups, too - who have no clue - comprehend how deep and corrupt the SF Public Utilities Commission has come to be.

The former General Manager led the SFPUC - down the drain into the cesspool of his own creation and that of his lackeys.

The SF Controllers' Office - Ben Rosenfield heading it - failed to address the blatant corruption.

The SF City Attorney Dennis Herrera has failed to represent us citizens of San Francisco.

The Mayor has anointed him to be the General Manager of the SF Public Utilities Commission - the same entity - the fox in charge of the chicken coop - failed to investigate. 

The SF Ethics Commission is today looked upon as a dysfunctional tool. 

Juliet Ellis stepped down - after spilling the beans - sending Harlan Kelly to his doom.

Tracy Zhou has jumped ship, Masood Ordhikani is keeping low - Carlin, the Deputy General Manage, opting for early retirement.

Hundreds of other gadflies - working for the SF Public Utilities Commission have left -  others are sweating one of them, Dwayne Jones. 




So-called Philanthropist and Owner of Rudolf Dwayne Jones - RDJ Consultants LLP - Dwayne Jones also purports to be the Gatekeeper of the Bayview Hunters Point - a scumbag who has stolen millions -  still is wheeling and dealing.


The Emerson Project was handed to Dwayne Jones on a platter - sole source by Harlan Kelly. It was a 15-year contract - when I brought the ploys and machinations to light - all hell broke loose.

AECOM/PARSONS two primes were chosen to handle the SFPUC - Sewer System Improvement Project - that started with a cap of $6 Billion is now $12 Billion - and will is heading towards a price tag - of $20 Billion.

The present SF Public Utilities Commission are lackeys - heading the SF Public Utilities Commission - Sophie Maxwell. Time will tell.

Here is a link allowing the reader to get a better idea of the permits needed to address the operation of the Sewer System Improvement Project - secondary effluents that are sent to the Bay :

https://sfwater.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=666

In 2002 the Water System Improvement Project was announced - with a tag of $4.9 Billion.

San Francisco handled $2.0 Billion - a Bond Measure passed - to address - the Water System Improvement Project - and the Sewer System Improvement Project.

The remaining $2.9 Billion was handled by the Regional partners -BASWA.

This report gives one a better sense of the entire project - the utter corruption:
   
https://bawsca.org/docs/07_Sept21_RBOC_Audit_2_final_report_clean_final_09212007.pdf

Paradoxically - the SF Public Utilities Commission - chose only to address the Water System Improvement Project - and is now nearing its completion in 2021.

In 2009 the Sewer System Improvement Project was funded by yet another Bond Measure - this time, it was tagged at $6 Billion. 

At this time, it has reached $12 Billion - heading for $20 Billion - the SSIP in the doldrums.
