SFAWARENESS Is A Public Blog Dedicated to Increasing Awareness of the People, Policies, Processes, Practices, Conduct & Behaviors Harming Good People of San Francisco & Beyond.
Common "Cause & Effects". Realize That What Each One Of Us Does or Fails To Do - Has Consequences To ALL of Us Living & Working In Our Communities.
We Focus on Social Justice, Abuse of People, Power & Corruption. SF Awareness Group (c)2007-2019
Okay, these folks are using flowery words like SF FAMILY and what not, but remember, the man who is organizing this may mean well, but he has not lived among us for many years and decades, as the rest of us have, here in San Francisco.
He (Gopman) also has admitted recent, prior bias, if not hatred or anger towards our homeless, but now claims 'he's seen the light'.
And he may have, and he's spent some time inside homeless world, as observer, but don't mistake that for the decades of in depth experience that thousands of you residents have in our city, deep in homeless, shelter, human services and city, state and county programs and agencies, that these folks coming to us with THEIR WAYS AND IDEAS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS do not have.
BRING WHAT YOU WANT AND KNOW TO THE TABLE TO MAKE SURE WE GET WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW WE WANT AND NEED, AT COST, NOT TO ENABLE MEGA PROFITS TO RUN PROGRAMS THEY LIKE DOWN OUR THROATS, AS THEY'VE DONE FOR DECADES NOW.
BE AWARE AND DOUBLE CHECK EVERY FACT AND PERSONA AND CORPORATE OR NON-PROFIT BACKER, SPONSOR OR PROGRAM THEY APPROACH US WITH BEFORE WE AGREE TO ANYTHING!
And he's already linked up to not-from-here ideas and organizations, so, this looks like they wish to present their plans for all of us... but, we need to make sure WE, THE PEOPLE, are the ones who present them, with what we want, where we are, as we are... we must inform them of OUR NEEDS from our point of view where we are at now....
They may try to get us all to go move into some complexes they're doing with government - private partnerships FOR PROFITS which means costs for what they 'provide' for us, will always increase, being controlled by bankster faux market values.
The National Coalition on Homelessness says the majority of all human service programs FAIL because they are not created, designed, managed and operated by local clients, themselves.
Every time out of towners or newbies come with big programs to solve problems that locals did not create, they fail. Meaning, they make megabucks for organizers, managers, investors and tax agents... but over time, they fail and collapse on the clients, then there's another crisis and more new top down, not-from-here programs are introduced as 'the next homeless solution'.
Okay, our teams are meeting with peers and local groups to make sure THE PROGRAMS are to be not for profit and are at lowest cost possible and must be owned, operated and managed by OUR LOCAL PEOPLE and must enable us all to be where we are and stay where we are and not be transported in and out of targeted zones for development or condos, et cetera.
Remember, the Elite in our city have hijacked every good program, process, campaign and 'town hall' meetings we've had over decades, to ensure their needs and profit motives are met, ahead of our critical human needs.
We saw that with the 'train' to reform the shelters, after we, the people, with Eric Bayer started the SF Power Group (which got our most hardcore folks off the streets and fully housed and employed or enrolled in school in 11 to 20 weeks, with natural foods, self direction and at one tenth of the cost of any other program to date with a 75% success rate).
And again with the SF Shelter Standards of Care Workshops and Laws that we, the people created, that The Elite wanted to block with then Mayor Gavin Newsom's Veto, which didn't happen. We passed that law that we wrote and both of the 'from-the-people up' campaigns became world class models.
So, we're dealing with CORPORATE TYPES who have a certain nature, no matter how much they may be changing... BE AWARE.
BE PREPARED FOR ADD ON PROGRAMS THAT COST US MORE AND COME FROM OUTSIDE THE MINDS OF OUR PEOPLE (i.g. Agenda 21, behavior modification, public safety programs from New York, Sweden, et al) that DON'T work here.
Give us what we know we need and want, how we want it is how programs work best here... we're reasonable adults capable of explaining what we need... we don't need others telling us what we want or what they're going to do for us...
Onward, mark this event on your calendar and organize all your groups now!

LABORERS LOCAL 261 UNION HALL
3721 18TH STREET at SHOTWELL
On March 4th we will march into Maximus's public meeting. We will demand
truly affordable housing for our community, instead of monster luxury
towers and meager "community benefits."
MAXIMUS Real Estate Partners--the developers who have proposed the twin
ten-story towers at 16th and Mission Street, better known as the MONSTER
IN THE MISSION--have announced a public meeting on March 4th.
At this meeting Maximus will present a package of "community benefits"
intended to mitigate the tremendous detrimental impact their development
would have upon the Mission District. But,
of course, no meager community benefits package will make up for the
drastically increased residential and commercial rents, and the
widespread displacement this project will cause in our community.
On March 4th, we will have an opportunity to face representatives of
Maximus directly and tell them that the only community benefit we need
is affordable housing, and that we refuse to let them build their luxury
towers in our community.

Share with all who believe adults and local communities have
pre-existing natural and human rights to all safe plants given to us,
for free, by nature. Including Cannabis, Hemp and all helpful
herbs like garlic and even non-GMO food products.
You
have an absolute right to all nature gives us for free -- that is
already safe and poses no great risk or harm to other humans.
Yet,
The Elite abuse state and federal laws to benefit their mega profit
machines to tax, control, restrict and monopolize all the things our
Creator and Mother Earth gave... to all of us not only some of us.
Excerpt
from Email to SF Board of Supervisors, peers and more:
in
the California Legislature for 2015 to 2016 Session.
Sunday
- February 15, 2015
San
Francisco, California
HELLO
EVERYONE!
This
is for anyone concerned about the rights of humans to use any of
natures plant gifts for any good purpose, without governmental
approval, new state laws, taxes, burdens and other frauds that only
serve the Elite and take away local community resources, spaces, cash
flows and cannabis operations, for their continued enrichment, at our
expense.
This
is about a California State 'Cannabis' Bills ( AB266 and AB26 which
are like many bills in other states) that seek to give all kinds of
powers and oversight, taxes and more to the Elite, who made megabucks
because of the prohibition and drug war frauds. (click on
pictures to go to links)
They
are the ones who used taxpayer money to charge you and members of
your family and community from coast to coast, with Cannabis related
charges.
They're
the ones who for eighty years or more -- stole your land, home and
family by the use of fear of cannabis (and later crack) to take away
all we have and now, in 2015, they want you all to trust them again
and let them write all these new bad laws that take, take, take.
BASTA!
Stop trusting lawyers, banks, wall street and politicians
and legislators and allowing them to pass more bad laws to favor them
and harm the rest of us.
Wake
Up !
They're using state law to build monopolies and fund their Pet
Government-Corporate-Bank-Real Estate-Development projects (vis a
'privatization') by burdening and taxing your pre-existing right to
all of Earth's safe plants without cost or obligation to government,
state or corporations, period.
MINNESOTA
For
example,
in Minnesota there are only TWO PEOPLE or ENTITIES that are
permitted to grow ALL THE CANNABIS for all the patients in
Minnesota.
This is how state laws are being misused to further the
goals of the elite, which are to evade all responsibility and
punishment (and payment of damages) for the government sponsored,
corporation enriched Frauds of Cannabis & Hemp Prohibition,
Drug Wars and today's new state laws, which are all scams. And bypass
Justice and Damages to us all for their crimes, so they can move onto
being Kannabis Kings and Lords.
COLORADO
In
Colorado recently, elite burdens of 'legalization' upon cannabis
actually harmed the patients, especially those with little or no
income, when medical cannabis reached up to $500 per ounce.
CALIFORNIA
LOCAL FAMILY, COMMUNITY PATIENT COLLECTIVES = $50 to $150 Per Ounce
Remember,
our long time, SAFE, local collectives in San Francisco and Northern
California have been healing, reducing harm, helping and relaxing
thousands of medical cannabis patients (for decades, safely!) in
community collectives for between $50 to $200 per ounce for high
grade medicine.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF US HAVE DONE THIS FOR GENERATIONS WITHOUT ANY GREAT RISK TO THE
GENERAL PUBLIC, PERIOD.
CANNABIS GROWERS AND PATIENTS HAVE NO NEED OR DESIRE FOR ANY MORE GOVERNMENT-CORPORATE
CORRUPTION.
ALL
OF THESE NEW STATE LAWS SEEK TO DESTROY 10,000 YEARS OF SAFE HUMAN USE AND
TRADITIONS WITH CANNABIS.
IT'S
ALL OF OURS' PRE-EXISTING NATURAL AND HUMAN RIGHT TO HAVE CANNABIS
FREELY AVAILABLE TO ALL AT COST, WITHOUT NEED OF GOVERNMENTAL
APPROVAL, PERMISSION OR ENABLING CORPORATE MONOPOLIES
TO =STEAL= CANNABIS AGAIN TO OUR HARM AND GREAT EXPENSE. THEY STEAL LOCAL CASH FLOWS.
BASTA!
Look
at this newly numbered (released Feb 5, 2015) state bill AB266 ( aka
AB26) that at first glance is a Re-Vamping of last years AB26, which
would have destroyed all of our personal and community and family
rights to cannabis in our own collectives.
BOTTOM
LINE: WHY THEY WANT YOU TO LET THEM PASS STATE LAWS...
The
elite want you all to BE FORCED TO PAY INTO OBAMACARE which would
enable them to bill medicare for your cannabis useage (even if they
jack it up with taxes and expenses up to beyond $500 per ounce --
they don't care if taxpayers fund the next series of bad cannabis law
frauds they are implementing in California and from coast to coast),
no matter how much it costs.
They
intend to Destroy all non-elite commercialized, non-profit, community
or collective growing, sharing, healing and enjoyment of cannabis,
unless you get their permission, pay their fees, pay them taxes which
will be misused (as they've been for decades now) and funneled into
sweetheart corporate deals, disguised as public works.
The
end result of their 'new state laws' will be to maintain the
financial, legal, bureaucratic frauds and enable monopolies
bankrolled by the usual suspect banksters to TAKE OVER all things
cannabis.
They
will escape taking responsibility for 80+ years of horrendous, gut
wrenching frauds (financed by taxpayers) that caused over 50 million
of us to be arrested, harassed, demonized, beaten, killed and had our
lives, families, land and homes ripped away from us, by their
Organized Legal and Prison System building frauds.
PROHIBITION+LIQUOR+BIG
PHARMA+BANKSTERS+BAD STATE LAWS+DEA+FED GRANTS+LOCAL
DEPUTIES+DISHONEST PLANNERS+FAKE RED TAGS+LOCAL GOVERNMENT COHORTS
=EQUALS= MASSIVE INCARCERATION, EVICTION, DISPLACEMENT,
GENTRIFICATION, IMPOVERISHMENT AND LOSS OF FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES AND
LOCAL CASH FLOWS AND LOSS OF LONGEVITY AND PREMATURE DISEASE AND
DEATH FOR US ALL IN WAVES CALLED 'EMERGING MARKETS' BY THE ELITE.
THE
'RACKETEERING MODEL' OF FEDERAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT GRANTS TO LOCAL COUNTY AREA AGENCIES, BANKERS, DEPUTIES AND INVESTORS WE
DOCUMENTED IN SANTA CRUZ – ALSO HAPPENS FROM COAST TO COASTin
3,000+ U.S. Counties:
The
most recent real life modern example of these ongoing frauds (in all
3,000 U.S. Counties) we can cite here -- is the one in which our own legal and
investigative teams SAW and OVERHEARD Santa Cruz County Planners,
Bank Manager, Real Estate reps and Santa Cruz County Sheriffs'
Deputies --
ALL
OF THEM TOGETHER... Plotting and planning how to use red tags (vis a
fake failed sceptic tank inspections); by 'burying the land owners
with paperwork and expenses to fight wrongful evictions; 'drug house'
labelling and local business groups 'targeting' of homes and land
upon which there are low income, elderly, disabled owners and renters
mixed into other rentals by drug addicts, et cetera.
It was
disgusting to witness. And having worked inside these banks and
corporations for decades, we know its happening in almost all of our
3,000 U.S. Counties, right now. Ask the folks in your community who
have been targeted for cannabis arrests, evictions and unusual
mistreatment by local authorities to see what's up where you live.
All of them, working in concert to STEAL HOMES that have been
pre-targeted, using so-called 'Drug Eradication' Grants from Uncle
Sam, to finance the R.I.C.O. (Racketeering Operations). All faith in
a legitimate federal law enforcement system disappeared for us and
our peers, as we saw the entire operation, players, tactics and
movements played out before our eyes... out there in the hills and
later on in the federal cases brought against them all and other such
exposures.
Like
I said, we SAW and OVERHEARD all this and reported it to California
State Attorney General Kamala Harris. By we, I mean myself, our legal
investigative team, neighbors and our attorney, who we're proud to
announce was just accepted to Practice in the U.S. Tax Court.
So,
now, when you share your real life mortgage, bank, drug war or
cannabis prohibition fraud information with us -- we can all blow
whistles on the corrupt in government AND assist in the legal
processes of others -- the ones who make megabucks (especially off of
OUR CANNABIS) and fail to pay their taxes or do other frauds to hide
the money they give to our politicians and others involved in these
Great Crimes against us all.
The
entire cannabis situation, past, present and the road the elite have
planned for us are all frauds. The Elite who made fortunes by
stealing your natural rights to cannabis 80+ years ago and who put
you all in jail for their pleasure, not for justice or to protect the
public. They are the same families who are trying be KINGS OF
CANNABIS and claim cannabis as their own.
For
Justice, Balance and Freedom to happen, millions of us realize that
the only Right Choice for us -- is to END ALL PROHIBITIONS, seek
damages for cannabis prisoners and taxpayers who funded these frauds
since 1934 and insure no state passes laws that infringe upon our
pre-existing rights.
To NOT seek Justice and Reparations and let
the elite take over cannabis and get richer at our expense without a
care, would be another crime and a failure of our Duties to be people
of honor and respect and justice.
To take back what the corrupted
have destroyed and hogged for themselves.
Time For us all to 'be real'
and admit the entire affair of prohibitions, drug wars and other
nonsense, was not for public safety. It was all a fraud of the elite
to get into our lives so deep that we can't even breath. It's time
for us all to sober up and be adult and righteous about our future
with cannabis.
CANNABIS, HEMP AND ALL SAFE PLANTS ARE
OURS. It's High Time to Take It All Back to our selves and our local
communities, as it was before they conned us.
If we don't -- the costs of cannabis will keep rising and
all our poor, sick, elderly and long time growers, patients and
healers will always be a slave to the elite's price fixing and taxing
and policing controls, that none of us need or want.
We
must take back all the rights we had before the onslaught of their
government sponsored 'evil weed' frauds that all taxpayers paid for
-- and they used the public to take away cannabis and replace it with
man made toxic chemicals, fuels, fabrics, liquor, narcotics, etc.
that also maimed, KILLED and incarcerated millions of us.
Since
1934 or so, How Many Cannabis Patients suffered or were forced onto
killer pharma drug or illicit narcotics or alcohol abuse only because
of the Government-Corporate's Frauds and cruel raids and
incarcerations of people who posed no threat; and had caused no harm
to anyone else in their community ?
That's
in addition
to using violent, militarized rogue police powers and asset seizure
drug war grant frauds to take away the home, land, cars, children and
liberties of over 50 million americans over the past 80+ years.
All
of it and Today's New State Laws -- are all part of ongoing taxpayer
funded frauds, planned out and conducted by state and federal
government agencies and their bankster corporate partners in real
estate and mortgage crimes.
Check
this out:
CA
STATE BILL AB266 - (similar to last year's CA AB26-)
This is NOT 'marked' AB26, this is now AB266 -- Read this and tell us if this
will result in higher costs for us all and no protection by
government is needed since cannabis is safe enough without more
bureaus and agencies to steal more local cash flows
with. Cheers! Oh,
we've started a new group ( OFF OF FACEBOOK ) called "10,000
Cannabis Patients From Northern California". Join Us Today!
here:
https://www.seen.is/group/4423 No
matter what you may feel personallyabout
cannabis or people who use cannabis, we could just as well be
discussing soothing Teas, healing Garlic or any other natural plant
that is already safe.
Talking about Basic
herbs, natural medicines and basic food stuff that we all have an
absolute right (absent a showing of a great risk or harm) to have. As
a human adult, we have all the rights, powers and benefits of such
FREE GIFTS FROM NATURE, to grow, have and use without asking for
permissions, paying taxes, fees or mega profit margins to the
government or the elite.
STAND
UP FOR US ALL NOW AND WE STAND UP FOR YOU TOMORROW.
Send
this email to anyone you feel may wish to help stand up for our
common natural rights and stop the elite from stealing plants like
cannabis from us all, for their maximum, exclusive benefits and
profits, to our great loss.
Thank
you all.
