Two jack asses respond to the Chronicle Editorial and the Hunters Point toxic clean up

The Editorial dated January 7, 2008 clearly pointed out a couple of pertinent points linked to the clean up of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. At last some little justice was done to the community.

But, suddenly when the Chronicle speaks the TRUTH - all hell breaks loose. Defy the crooks and they storm in - with a how dare you - attitude. But, this is San Francisco and we will take on the crooks and the Mafia attitude.
I had written a letter to the Editor and that too was printed on the same day - January 7, 2008.

The short Editorial did some justice and one point that scored well with the constituents of the Bayview Hunters Point was that some forces - were using the the 49ers as a ploy to speed up the clean up - but in fact all that was aimed was capping.

In this case it is strange that Congressperson Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Gavin Newsom do the talking - while the U.S. Navy has to do the clean up.

I have NOT seen Congressperson Nancy Pelsosi nor Mayor Gavin Newsom attend one single Restoration Advisory Committee (RAB) meeting.

The RAB did not endorse the conveyance of Parcel A. I want these two jerks Mayor Gavin Newsom and Congressperson Nancy Pelosi to remember that.

Now, suddenly these two jerks have used their influence to have their letters printed over night to an Editorial that touched on a few points - and was correct.

Some years ago Mayor Gavin Newsom wanted to place the Olympic Village at Hunters Point. At that time he did not think about the abatement of the remaining sites Parcel B, C, D, E, and F that has yet to be transferred - less abated and billions of dollars will be needed.

Hunters Point Naval Shipyard is a Superfund Site - and contaminated with Depleted Uranium and other such Radiological Elements.

Right now Nancy and Gavin think they own the City - and it is this mistaken impression that spurs them to react vehemently to TRUTH. For years they have done nothing much - but, now they want to be in charge of the last frontier and have been using Gang Injunctions, Depopulation, Big Developers, Redevelopment - to remove thousands of poor people and invade our community without any - invitation.

This time will be stop them - in their tracks. Do no underestimate people power.

The majority of the constituents living and working in the Bayview Hunters Point do not appreciate Congressperson Nancy Pelosi, Mayor Gavin Newsom and Senator Diane Feinstein - coming into our living room and arranging the furniture.

Since 1974 the United States government has been very slow to do the clean up of the Shipyard.

In the late 1990 companies like International Technologies wasted millions of dollars - money set aside for clean up that was not spent in the right manner. The reason - poor over sight.

For the last 18 years under the jurisdiction of Congressperson Nancy Pelosi - little has been done - linked to the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - abatement.

I have written to Nancy before and write to her now - and she seems to respond only when there is an Editorial and Nancy Pelosi is exposed for her ignorance, arrogance, and very poor leadership.

Do you know - that most of the constituents living and working in the Bayview Hunters Point do not appreciate the poor performance of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi?

Do you know that the Hunters Point Area has a very high number of constituents suffering from cancer and other chronic ailments?

Not a word about this situation and the plight of our children, our elders, and those with compromised health from Mayor Gavin Newsom and Congressperson Nancy Pelosi?

There letters to the Editor from Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi - that I will post with this article - reveal the underlying current of the Mafia and other dubious ploys to hoodwink the constituents of the Bayview Hunters Point.

In the year 2008 - we the constituents will take on the crooks - foremost Mayor Gavin Newsom who will be ushered in today for another 4 years and poor leadership behind and before him.

We want the entire Shipyard cleaned up as mandated by Proposition P to residential standards.

We can clean it up using local experts such as Waste Solutions and a few other companies.

We have a plan to do the through clean up - with our own money - but, there are forces out there that want to do it their way?

Why do you think this is?
