The City and County of Sana Francisco better prepare itself, seriously to accommodate thousands of parolees who will be released according to a new policy signed by the California State Department of Prisons. Now, murderers and those serving large sentences will not be released easily - but, what we will see are thousands of prisoners with lesser sentences. Those deemed to stay longer with light convictions; will be given there releases - earlier. In the last five years - the prisoners have h...

As election time nears in San Francisco - all the gremlins are busy creating plots to deceive the electorate and prop up dubious - candidates. San Francisco is still very much under the control of the MACHINE. You should see the grin on the face of Willie L. Brown Jr., and his side Rosa Park - when they succeed - putting one of there chosen candidates to be used as a dirty rage - in some powerful, position. Nothing much has changed in the last 40 years - with the MACHINE. Perhaps, the last so...

You cannot respect the living unless you respect the dead. The First People always pay tribute and respect to the ancestors - both the living and the dead. Here in the Bay Area - again and again - we have evil forces - desecrating Sacred Burial Grounds. The time has come to stand united and honor and respect our ancestors. Fight against those force that do not know - better....

The tenants of Alice Griffith aka Double Rock are pissed off. Nothing much has changed, the toilets leak, the kitchens are filthy, and everywhere deferred maintenance - has made living conditions unbearable. Once, Dwayne Jones from COO - Communities of Opportunity bused the tenants to City Hall - promised the tenants, the sky - today they are living in a cesspool. With no hope in sight; less improvement in sight - their daily, living conditions are unbearable, and no one wants to listen to t...

San Franciscans are astute. As smart as many of us may think we are - we must; be vigilant against Big Developers. For sure watch like a hawk; the Rogue Developer - Lennar. We must always remember - LENNAR bombarded our children, our Elders, those with compromised immune systems at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - and did not apologize. Now, Lennar is getting ready to DUMP the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard project - and is pussyfooting about developing Treasure Island. We have over 30,000 good h...

The State Park by Candlestick Park and the on going erosion. A good example for those that live in San Francisco - take a tour of the on the on going erosion and the large junks of roadway and earth that has been swallowed by the Bay. When the Big One strikes there will be pandemonium - and especially if we think the Office of Emergency Service will deliver. These jerks talk a lot - but lack any sound plan - worth the salt....

The San Francisco Planning Department that is 4 out of 7 members and the entire Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA) voted to develop Treasure Island. Treasure Island is man made, sinking about three inches every years and very contaminated. The U.S.Navy as it has at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - contaminated Treasure. The activities that took place on Treasure Island - are very similar, to the activities that took place on the Shipyard. In fact the name before was Treasure Island t...

It's the same technique that the STASI used to persecute dissidents in Former Communist East Germany, except that this Human Rights Abuse is happening here today. The STASI called it Zerzetsen "No Touch" torture and its purpose is to poison every aspect of a person's life. Zerzetsen, Zersetzung, D&D or new COINTELPRO -- Call it what you like: it is being used in Canada, UK and USA to persecute critiques of establishment elites....

“It is an outrage that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – the federal agency tasked with conserving and managing our living marine resources – requested a whopping additional $36 million to fund programs that would further industrialize our seafood and put even more fishermen out of business," said Wenonah Hauter, Executive Director of Food & Water Watch....

Half the Nation pays no taxes and about two percent of the Nation's most wealthy own twenty five percent of the Nations wealth and pay little taxes. The Middle Class is eroding. Goldman Sachs and other such vermin continue to plunder and steal. The Main Media is bought - lock, stock and barrel and those that do investigative reporting - are ganged upon with Media Moguls sending "thugs" after them. Congresspersons and Senators worship the lobbyists - and our laws are there; but there is no enf...

I always challenge the youth, more College and University students to use the education they imbibe and contribute what they have learned to Society at Large. It was not uncommon for us some years ago - to rent a van and bring the students from say SF State University to our Town Hall meetings. Then, take them home pass 10:30 am having arrived at the Town Hall at 7 pm. On occasion we broke bread and got to know one another - better. However, what really was of interest was permitting the stud...

At about this time every year, some funny looking folks - give a drab AUDIT report on the state of affairs of our City and County of San Francisco. Its many Departments, and it is full of verbosity, diatribe, jargon, and mostly hot air. Every year some City Department will find themselves wasting money, if it not making a FOOL of themselves like the Municipal Transportation Agency, the SF Fire Department heading the Over Time list, some other Departments just forgetting they have to play by ...

Kaiser Permanente made more than $40 billion over the past two years. But it let an apartment building in San Francisco sit empty and rot for years after evicting the families who lived there. Homes Not Jails took this building over Monday and opened it up for people to live in. Kaiser called in the cops to kick the people out, then boarded up the building...
