Respect the First People

by Francisco Da Costa (frandacosta [at] att.net)
World Environment Day (WED) should respect the First People of the Bayarea and California. The United Nations has been slow - it talks the talk but fails to walk the walk. It is wrong to disrespect the First People - fail to Respect Mother Earth and have lots of Dog and Pony Shows.
June 1st to June 5th is being set aside in San Francisco as World Environment Day (WED). Already, it is alarming to see so many sellouts playing to the media. Including so called Environmentalists that do not live in San Francisco - pretending to talk on behalf of the people - mothers, children and others that live in San Francisco.. Some of them cannot even write their ideas - proxies with hidden agendas are doing that for them. As far as I am concerned I know the good ones like Lynne Brown for example from Hunters Point. I have already stated in my previous articles the ones that are faker then fake. They should be ashamed of themselves. Any one organization that has taken money from San Francisco Environment (SFE) has blood on their hands. Let us not talk about closing Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) by staging fake protests and having NO real solutions.. I did not see these shallow folks at the Public Meetings linked to the Jefferson-Martin Transmission Line. I do not see these fake environmentalists at the Stakeholder Meetings held at 77 Beale. We just cannot shut down any power plant without being educated on the issues. We should have the Transmission Lines in place before shutting down any power plants. Some of us have worked towards that end. Worked with Commissioner Loretta Lynch and others that listen to facts and sound solutions. Some of the protesters have no idea what a Power Flow Data looks like. They think if they do shout at a PG&E building something happens. It simply does not work like that. I have not seen these folks who called themselves " protestors " say a word about the 3 Combustion Turbines. At the meetings held by SF Public Utilities Commisssion (SFPUC) - SFPUC admitted that they have the support of Green Action. So much for even thinking about environmental issues and anything sensible and sustainable coming from Green Action. If Green Action has done some good - it has negated all that by siding with crooks and agencies and people that have blood on their hands. It means nothing if anyone backs those that have blood on their hands. You simply do not take money from SFE and do wrong and back those projects that pollute - like the 3 Combustion Turbines - slated to be planted soon in the Southeast Sector closer to Bayview.. You do not side with SF City officials to sue Mirant - when PG&E and others are doing the same Do not take sides sue all of them.. City officials are ignorant and leading the pack Mayor Gavin Newsom and Jared Blumenfeld. Also some environmentalists that do not live in the Bayview Hunters Point or the area surrounding it Zip Code 94107, 94124, and 94134 that are impacted very seriously. All of a sudden the crooks and fakes have sprouted out to protest many claiming that they are Environmentalists.. All year long they have said not one word on the following:

1. The Housing and Transportation Document which the City and County of San Francisco and the Planning Department and the Board of Supervisors - do not have in place with current information to reference Quality of Life Issues.

2. I do not see anyone demanding Enrvironmental Impact Studies on bigger and some small projects that adversely impact thousands. Case in point the proposed 3 Combustion Turbines that will adversely impact thousands in the Southeast Sector.

3. I have not seen the so called Environmentalists come out with a plan to address Energy Issues. We have a $100 million Solar Bond and no environmentalist has the clout and the will to take on SFPUC. I have not seen Green Action at any SFPUC meeting in Room 400 at City Hall demanding Solar Power and taking a good look at Clean Energy Projects..

4. Most of the environmentalists are so narrow minded - have tunnel vision and the article Death of Environmentalism applies to them. They are in for the " money ", have tunnel vision and therefore cannot represent the people and good that most poor and minority folks stand for. Simply stating that one represents people means nothing - you have to earn it daily. Feel and write your own statements - do not live in Fairfeld and pretend that Hunters Point is yours. You are faker then fake.

5. WED is a joke and NO serious environmentalists is taking these jokers seriously. Most of them are comode scum as far as being serious with environmental issues are concerned. We said that a long time ago when on purpose honest and educated environmentalist were left out of the intitial dialog. The City, Mayor Gavin Newsom and Jared Blumenfeld has a hidden agenda. I said that 9 months ago. Suddenly in the last few weeks zombie environmentalists with little or no education have sprouted up all over the place.

Folks let us be serious. If one cannot respect Mother Earth and cannot fight for the First People - something is seriously missing. Most folks that sip Star Bucks, shout at buildings because it cost nothing, write as fake authors, are as fake as fake can be. Let us be real - the best action is to daily fight for the environment and make our Earth a better place to live. Talking to the fake environmentalists, the politicians, is a waste of time. When you see them - think of a comode - then a big flush - and flush them down the cesspool. That is the place they belong to. Fake ass folks like those that take money from SFE. I have NO time to attend the make shift shallow protests, the fake forums, and the actions that some are talking about to have their five minutes of fame. Screw that. Daily work hard for our youth, our environment by doing the right stuff. Let go of being shallow in your education and worse still by any actions that border on being tainted faker then fake. Stop taking BLOOD MONEY. Leading the pack the authors who have proxies that write for them and join any bandwagon for a few minutes of fame.
