textHunters Point is a Superfund Site any way - you look at the toxic cesspool needs-clean up. by Francisco Da Costa
Only a Racist City - such as San Francisco - has the ability using vast sums of money to hide an open fact. The second hand treatment given to the innocent, hard working people of Bayview Hunters Point. A lot of fake Public Relations has been used by Mayor Gavin Newsom to paint a wrong picture - to serve his own needs. Gavin Newsom is as fake as the come - those in the know - his personal preferences. But, it is not kosher to point it out in the public - that disturbs the White Mentality - su...

by Dan Bacher
You have a unique chance to help right an historic wrong by supporting Assemblyman Jared Huffman's bill, AJR 39, to restore recognition of the Winnemem Wintu (McCloud River) Tribe. The bill will codify the State's de facto recognition of the Winnemem Wintu as a California tribe and encourage the Federal Government to correct their administrative error and restore the tribe's Federal recognition. I encourage you or the organization you represent to send a letter ASAP to support the tribe. ...

by CHARLIE VERIC
This review highlights the global positioning of current and future discourse/writing on the emergent Filipino diaspora, given the neocolonized and subjugated/subalternized situation of Filipinos whether overseas or in the homeland, as migrants, exiles, refugees, OFWs, etc. Unless this historic but permanently contested subordination to U.S. imperial hegemony is acknowledged, and the vicissitudes of the revolutionary resistance to it fully recognized and appreciated, any reflection on the co...

by Steven Argue
Today Republican candidate Mitt Romney has declared of Hillary Clinton’s promised health care plan, “It’s a European-style socialized medicine plan, that’s where it leads–and that’s the wrong direction for America” (Shulte). Yet, unfortunately, Clinton’s plan has nothing in common with socialized medicine, neither of the European variety, nor the Canadian single payer. Her plan is to keep the broken and expensive capitalist system of health care, a system that keeps the insurance industry...

Tens of thousands of people disappear every year in the United States and Canada, but none of the disappearances are more heartbreaking than the disappearance, or death of children, especially when those children are in the custody of state run facilities. After generations of hiding evidence, burying information and even keeping medical records out of the hands of relatives, the truth is coming out about Canada’s “Indian Schools.”...

There were experiments conducted with Depleted Uranium at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard from before 1976. Over the years thousands suffered from cancer and are suffering - even as we speak - all over Bayview Hunters Point and beyond. Of course Senator Diane Feinstein and Congressperson Nancy Pelosi are not cognizant of these facts. Mayor Gavin Newsom - a Racist - would not know.

audioThe Power of Black Music (audio/mpeg 2.6MB) by Mumia Abu-Jamal
For some people, music, the right music, can transform one's way of looking at the world, and even change lives. By music (as you may have guessed) I'm not talking about bubble gum pop, or rap. I'm talking about a music form that has been called classical (at least by Black listeners) for generations. I speak of jazz....

In the year 2000 a fire erupted on Parcel E at Hunters Point and took over one month to put out. The SF Fire Department were at a loss how to stop the underground fire. Some witnessed green and yellow flames - others saw other colors. People living in near by Pubic Housing suffered and the SF Health Department took weeks to address the situation. Then came the Federal Regulatory Agencies - and they too took a position that there were no long term affects. This is not the first time we have he...
