Today Scott Givens announced that San Francisco is open to welcome the 2016 Olympics

Scott Givens tried his best to state some facts but got it wrong especially when he mentioned that Parcel C is the most toxic when in fact Parcel E is the one.

He also stated that the community has been consulted but the fact is that the community has not. I am talking about the Bayview Hunters Point community.

Scott Givens means well when he makes general statements about the Olympics - but he has no clue that simply stating that the Olympic Village will be situated at Hunters Point - Parcel B, C. D, and E and I suppose F which is the surrounding Bay all will be abated and mitigated.

His understanding of the situation is poor and his pronouncements - naive.

Anything is possible but Scott Givens has no clue what he is talking about when you deal with Parcel E.

It will cost a Billion dollars, yes a billion dollars and more to clean Parcel E. The United States Navy that has jurisdiction at this time - has stated time and time again that it is better NOT to disturb Parcel E.

Well, if one caps Parcel E and since it contains radiological elements - no one can guarantee the Health and Safety of anyone and it would NOT be prudent to expose thousands of innocent Olympians and visitors to elements that would adversely impact their lives.

A letter has been sent to the International Olympic Committee and so they are fully aware of the situation at hand. A letter has also been sent to the United Nations.

Of course the Main Media will not give you these facts - so here you go again - Indymedia is the one to reveal these facts to you all that want to educate yourselves about real facts and machinations going on at City Hall and behind close doors.

The City under Mayor Gavin Newsom and led by Jess Blout the Director of Economic Development and Workforce has embraced Scott Givens under his Department.

How this works I do not know - but knowing Jesse Blout and his affliation with Marsha Rosen and the SF Redevelopment Agency - anything he does as far as I am concerned has dubious implications.

San Francisco is a lovely City and one of the most famous tourist spots in the world.

San Francisco has serious transportation problems when it comes to catering to millions of people. It also has a housing situation and an Olympic Village surely is needed but NOT in an area that can adversely impact millions - directly and indirectly.

Health and Safety is critical and paramount to all human beings.

Lennar Bayview Hunters Point Limited Liability Corporation is looking forward to use any ploy to make millions of dollars. One has just to go to their main web site and check out these crooks.

Lennar is the worst developer in the Nation and we in San Francisco should not have anything to do with them - what so ever.

The Mayor Gavin Newsom is a dreamer and it is good to dream but once you awake - one has to deal with reality. I can see the Blums, the Gettys, Shoresteins, Fishers, and there are others lending money to make huge amounts of money.

The rich in this Nation control our economy and there are some that want all of San Francisco for themselves. I saw it with the Presidio of San Francisco and Nancy Pelosi concept of the Presidio Trust that is going no where.

The Presidio Trust was created to Commercialize the Presidio. No one ever thought that first the Presidio of San Francisco would be declared a National Park and then the Presidio Trust would be created - to cater to some vested thugs that do not have the benefit of the ordinary constituent of this Nation and San Francisco.

The Bayview has many " people of color " and 60 percent of the homes are owned by "people of color ". First the Mayor and his cronies started by permiting the SF Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) to expand the Project area to cover most of the Bayview Hunters Point.

Over 2568 acres directly and indirectly come under the SFRA.

Prior to that we had the SF Planning Department hold work shops dealing with the Eastern Neighborhoods. I attended all the work shops. These plans - the hard work of the people were case aside and shelved.

The SFRA with the blessing of Mayor Willie L. Brown and Mayor Gavin Newsom fast tracked the SFRA Survy Area, to Project Areas, and now the SFRA is poised to take control over the whole of Bayview Hunters Point.

SF Planning Department plays second fiddle to SFRA.

This nonsense would NOT have happened in a White Neighborhood which is why after giving our Mayor the benefit of the doubt - I now know for a fact that he is a RACIST.

Every ploy has been used to force poor people out of the Public Housing.

It is a shame to see 60 percent of Public Housing boarded up. The Housing Authority has its excuses but one can see it clearly in the plans - behind the scenes the City and County of San Francisco and SFRA are working hand in hand.

It is just a matter of time before those that pay hundreds of dollars per year as Property Taxes will have to pay Thousands of Dollars - once those properties come under the Project Area and the SFRA thug pratices are enforced.

In the mean time thug forces are busy trying to make plans for an Olympic Village in an area that is famous the world over as prime toxic site linked with the early Atomic Experiments and the cleaning of submarines and other ships that took part in the Bikini Atomic Experiments and Tests.

The surrounding area near the Hunters Point today has the highest cases of Cancer and other chronic diseases. No one is paying attention to this fact.

The San Francisco Health Deaprtment under Doctor Rajiv Bhatia is looking the other way.

Another crony of the Mayor Amy Brownell has not served this City and adversely impacted thousands of constituents - mostly children. She has blood on her hands especially being a mother - but she lives away from this City and comes here just to get her salary.

I was listening and paying careful attention to what was being said. People of color cannot allow such nonsense to go on and on.

Outside the school and before the meeting Acorn Members were protesting against the Corporate Greed.

A handful of sellouts mostly Blacks the likes of Doris Vincent, Sophie Maxwell, Olin Webb, Angelo King, Oscar James ( who now does the catering for SFRA and events such as today's),
others are all ready for the spoils.

It is a pity when Blacks will prey on Blacks just for some bread crumbs.

At Hunters Point there were two hills. Both these hills were Shellmounds. Sacred Burial Grounds of the Muwekma Ohlone. Today, NOT one one square inch has been archeologically surveyed.

The U.S. Navy dececrated Parcels A, B, C, D, E, and F under the Bay and beyond. Nothing good came from all the millions spent by the Navy.

Nothing good will come as future thugs dream of their projects.

There are fundamental truths that are NOT written in books but some of us have been saying stuff that those that are deep into mundane practices and have numbed their souls - do not feel less comprehend.

We are dealing with radiological elements and a clean up that the Navy can ill afford - less the SFRA that will cap the land and try to hoodwink the Nation.

Time to call in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Also, the Center for Diseases Control (CDC), the Department of Toxic and Substances Control (DTSC), and other State and Federal Agencies to investigate this balant nonsense.

It is a paradox that this City and County of San Francisco has a mandate - the Precautionary Principle and yet with INTENT is going forward with some dubious plan to place the lives of health children, men, and women in harms way.

Greed has no limits and Mayor Gavin Newsom has joined the group of thugs - money can lead one down one track for sure - the cesspool of no return - damnation.
