Lennar BVHP LLC and the fake facts by the Main Media - let us set the record straight

The Main Media in San Francisco has chosen NOT to do any investigative reporting on Parcel A in the Bayview Hunters Point area.

They have chosen to listen to gossip and take a position from the talking points given to the Main Media by the San Francisco Health Department and the Mayor's Office.

Parcel A has been in the news for a long time. Lennar BVHP LLC has chosen to bombard the community with Toxic dust, some of it has radiological elements. Also, Asbestos Dust from the grading of the Ultramaphic Serpentine Rock - when crushed, this rock releases dense structures of Asbestos Dust.

In recent week we have conducted our own tests that the Main Media will not - because they do not believe in through investigative reporting.

Also, many of the journalists are ignorant. They will talk about talking points given to them by the City and County of San Francisco and Lennar BVHP LLC - but will not come into the community and talk to those community leaders that know really, what they are talking about.

The test we conducted show very high levels of:

1. Aluminuim
2. Arsenic
3. Barium
4. Beryllium
5. Cadium
6. Cobalt
7. Chromium
8. Copper
9. Molybdenum
10. Nickel
11. Lead
12. Antimony
13. Selenium
14. Thallium
15. Vanadium
16. Zinc
17. Mercury
18. Magnesium
19. Manganese
20. Alumium

I could name 20 more heavy metals and some radiological elements to.

For the smart cats that will try to question the above list - let me point a pertinent fact - if the base line Reporting Limit ug/sq. ft for Arsenic was 5.0 the readings we got was 15.

If the base line Reporting limit for Barium (Ba) was 5.0 we got 24

If the base line Reporting limit for Antimony was 10 we got 40.

If the base line Reporting limit for Zinc was 10 we got 81

If the base line Reporting limit for Copper was 2.5 we got 19

I think I made my point. We took tests around Navy Road, by Kiska Road along the Parcel A fence, by Cleo Rand Road, and from two sites about 500 yards from Parcel A.

The recordings of this data was shocking. The high level of metals are dangerous to all living beings.

We had a first opinion for one test and then conducted another independent test. Just in case - for those that want to throw some doubt on our methodology.

I challenge the San Francisco Health Department to conduct such tests for heavy metals and find out how these heavy metals have affected our children and elders. The general population in and around the Shipyard.

Even our SF Police Department has been affected - time will tell. And Navy personnel too. Others that do business on the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

There are tests - blood, urine, even hair samples for all of the heavy metals. The SF Health Department can conduct these test and prove me - wrong.

Now, let us NOT harp on the Asbestos Dust - because there are test for that but the process is very sophisticated and found in Europe and other more developed countries.

The fact is on single Asbestos Fiber can kill any one - down the line in years. But, let not that argument be our main argument - at his time. Time is of essence and our children are dying. There is NO time for NONSENSE.

The Main Media has chosen to fight the community and not do any investigative reporting.

The Resolution passed by the SF Board of Education is on the right track but the Main Media has not given the Resolution and the unanimous vote given by all the Board of Education members any decent publicity.

This, after all is a Racist City and the Main Media has chosen to stand by the crooks - Mayor Gavin Newsom, SF Health Department, the SF Redevelopment Agency, and Lennar BVHP LLC.

But also the movers and shakers on this City the Blums, Fishers, Shoresteins, and so on are backing the Main Media.

Jessie Blout, from the SF Mayor's Office of Economic Development and Work Force should be ashamed of himself. So should Dr. Rajiv Bhatia and Mitch Katz who work for the SF Health Department. Of course Mayor Gavin Newsom and that scum bag Sophie Maxwell.

Daily our children are dying and no one is testing our babies. Some one has BLOOD on their hands and I have named them.

Is there no one in San Francisco that can take this challenge?

Do some testing for heavy metals and if you find them as I have found them - by taking independent tests and getting them tested by certified laboratories, using qualified personnel? Do something for our children?

Can the world believe that this is happening in San Francisco? The most progressive City in the United States? What is happening America? Why are you fast asleep?

San Francisco is indeed a Racist City - that has allowed for years the TOXIC bombardment of our children and elders - just because they are people of color. Enough is enough.
