3:00 pm
anything to get the police to look into it or maybe examine themselves, because his story stays the same, like the truth always does. i am not a public speaker, but i just need help because i am afraid for my son. so any recommendations or anything you can do from your perspective to help him i would really appreciate. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is eugene gordon jr.. the human animal brain is a material base. it manages scientific manner functions, construction words and actions, to resolve as housing is a ride, clothing, food, human rights, but where
3:01 pm
there is a national, agreed upon intervention, which without coincidence divides humanity into class ranks, again without coincidence, market speculation is factor. to stay the course, ignorance continues to debate right to live. product exchange without capital currency. class ranked is a market collapse. birthright is known as a state function of capitalism, and imperialism, materialism, racism, chauvinism, defamation, fraud. so much effort to convince itself distracts. fascism is in the united states
3:02 pm
of america. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. please step up. >> thank you. my name is brian mcewan, and i have spoken once before in front of this committee, last tuesday, and i just want to express my gratitude for ms. kim and some of the others who have been supportive of the movement in general, and i would just like to say we have received a number of conflicting messages from the different departments as regards to what is lawful and what is not lawful in regards to our assembly, and i appreciate your leadership, because we're not getting much from the mayor, and there are a lot of issues involved, and that is why there is such a divergence group out there that is standing up for
3:03 pm
our civil liberties and our rights to assemble, and we appreciate the fact that you guys respect that, but we are asking that from the police department, as well. do not come down and forcibly removed us. it is only going to incite more problems. and as individuals, i would love to be able to see some of you down there if there is a way for you to be able to do that in a non official capacity, because you guys represent us well. i know a few of you and have worked under you, fighting for issues when you were not part of this body here. so that is all i have to say, and we appreciate your support and when is the neighborhood committee? on monday? we would like to know about that. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, and john from san francisco. these are just some things that i have observed in the city.
3:04 pm
clothing helps us to be multi dimensional human beings instead of just identify yourselves as a herd of making animals. clothing is better for you, physically and psychologically. too much sun, and the bugs like mosquitoes can be damaging to our skin. privacy is an important part of our dignity and self-respect. kids give away their privacy and dignity on facebook to strangers on the naïve assumption that they have their best interests at heart. boys on the verge of manhood walk around shooting one another while still hanging on to their other pistol and showing us their potential dirty underwear. we allow ourselves to be groped at airports because we're in a hurry to get somewhere. torn and used looking clothing have been upgraded to plame quality. there are those out there that
3:05 pm
will self-destruct and take us with them. years ago, we knew them as insane and possibly dangerous. today, we bend over backwards to accept them as part of our human family to be cherished as humans are. democracy and freedom are as worthwhile as the character and culture of its people and society. the dignity, self-respect, and privacy. you can have a meaningful society. -- you cannot have a meaningful society without them. thank you for listening. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> everybody comes up here thinks that something is going to result from their speech. they have to, or they would not come up here, right? i am glad that they are protesting wall street. i feel like getting a megaphone that says that david rockefeller
3:06 pm
said in his memoirs that he hates the united states and that he is using chase manhattan bank and others to destroy the united states. go to several website. i am seriously thinking about doing that, but i do not want to get sidetracked on the main issue, and the main issue is being saved. jesus did not come back. he is still coming soon. he is coming soon. i will tell you something. i mentioned this before. 9/11 is exactly 2000 days from the true jubilee, 1996, not 1994. 66.666 months later. i believe that god is quite possibly saying that after these six and 66 days cycles, christ will return after the jubilee, or to precise -- to be precise, 4440 days.
3:07 pm
now, that brings us to may 16, 2008. there is legitimacy to add the dates mentioned in the book of daniel about a blessing, it brings us to january 10, 2012. some say i have a prediction addiction, i cannot help myself in setting dates, and perhaps i do. i was right on 9/11. i mentioned this before. i mentioned 30 days before 9/11 that the trumpet would sound. this is frustrating. [bell] president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. thank you for listening to me. i am here talking about the resolution urging the city and
3:08 pm
county of san francisco giving preference to certify organic food vendors. there has been a lot of research done by independent scientists to show that genetically modified organisms increase allergies and cancer in people who are consuming them, and they are in a 90% of all processed foods in america, and nobody knows they are there. for example, corn syrup and soil lecithin. food additives and preservatives are listed. however, the fda deregulated the need to test genetically engineered crops, and said the only test that are done are by monsanto and others, the biotech companies. so these foods are in there, and there are a lot of pesticides used that are creating super weeds and super pests, which are
3:09 pm
actually causing the need for more and more chemicals, some of which have already been banned in a lot of countries due to their toxicity, and there've been found in the groundwater. there is a lot of spraying that goes here. they have discovered that agro ecology is a much more sustainable method of farming, so -- was that time for me to stop? ok. so i am just very concerned about this for children and the pollution that it causes and the studies that have been done on rats and animals that have showed aberrations in their stomachs and lesions, and i just think, for example, like cuba, they have --
3:10 pm
president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am with the library organization. to get rid of, to snuff out all of the murals that exist on the vermont heights branch library is moving ahead with the cooperation of the unseeing, and knowing, apparently, arts commission. at a library commission meeting of july 21, the presenter of the so-called project manager for this project of replacements said we are not going to the art commission with this until september, when i called the art commission late in august. it turned out the visual arts committee had already heard the whole thing, and this person also said it would not be on the consent calendar, but they approved the plans for the demolition of that historic
3:11 pm
mural, which includes victor, holly, and others, and it did so without having a single presentation from the library, from the artists, or any documentation whatever of the new or old mural. most recently, on august 12, in response to an information request from us, the library commission secretary sent what was sent to the art commission, and it says a member of the community in one of these memos wanted to make sure the members of the visual arts committee had the comments the library commission received on the brunell are aware, and then she included only the comments that this task force off-site somewhere assembled in some fashion had included. she did not include any of the comments that had been made at the library commission at that meeting or previous meetings, including from the legislative aide to supervisor campos, which
3:12 pm
included saying that many constituents have come forward to seeing the murals be preserved. there is a lot more. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i would like to give some support to peter, the director of the library users association. he has shared with me a lot of ways where this has been handled, and it is basically a joke. if you look at the minutes, i would guarantee any of you would be unable to tell us how they came to the decision to eradicate the historical nature of those murals and to simply pays them over with something eradicate the history of the latino community in the brunell heights area. the fact that you have a process does not mean that the process results are going to be good, and i think it is an abomination.
3:13 pm
the second thing is, all of you and the california constitution take the amendment for the legislative bodies, where you swear or affirm to defend the constitution of the united states, and those are easy words to say, and most of us would like to be judged not by our actions but by our intentions. it is all good to say to occupy wall street or occupy san francisco or anyone else who is really trying to speak for what they believe in. the right to petition government, to address grievances, and the right to free speech, but if none of you ever actually picks up the phone and talks with the department of health and says, hey, if you have a problem with the sanitation's commission, can any of you arrange to get some porta-pottis down there. if you have a problem with this, we can do this? it is easy to say we support free speech, but if you do
3:14 pm
absolutely nothing to carry that out, it is meaningless. free speech is the basis of our society, and i have seen it too many people go before city bodies and have to fight for the right to speak and have to fight them for the right for the access to public record, which they need. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> in regard to occupy san francisco, from what i have seen, the issues that affect the city also affect that assembly. because it is a microcosm of the city. those issues really cannot be ignored or hide. it is important that the city try to help and protect the assembly right to be there, and hopefully resolution to the issues that affect the city can come out from occupied san francisco. thank you. president chiu: thank you.
3:15 pm
next speaker. >> the overhead, please. thank you. tom. south beach apartment. i presume i can speak now. we are going to revisit. i invited you all to come over to 18th and mission to check out the garage with the electric fan and the noise, and, of course, anybody at home and would like to come over and visit, come over to 18th and mission and see what we have about the noise factor, what is happening with the inadequate policy with the noise. in this little garage, we get a tremendous amount of discharge. noise goes across the strait --
3:16 pm
street. the scary thing is that it was built. the next scary thing is that it is three years built, and the city has not gotten one complaint against it. the thing about this, in the life of a city, we talk about noise. it is a cliche. you do not move to a city because it is traffic coming and going. but what we have here on 18th street is that the traffic is actually a softening the rauch of noise that is tunneling out of that garage, and this is a perfect example of what needs to be addressed in the future, because, again, it is inadequate. stand across the street from it for 20 minutes, and you will be relieved when you walk away. now, how would you like to listen to that for an hour, for 12 hours, or for 24 hours?
3:17 pm
the thing about it, it is progress noise, and i do not think it should be. i do not think anybody should have the right to make somebody else or listen to a noise, garbage being dumped in our city, and i hope to talk to you about it again. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> hi, my name is brad. i am a medical marijuana patient and have been for quite a few years here in san francisco. i just wanted to thank you guys to continue to care to the concerns of san francisco patients and providers, especially in times such as this, with the federal government overreaching and trying to stop local communities from tending to our own patients needs. i just left over third and
3:18 pm
mission of while ago, and over 150 patients were there, waiting for obama to drive by so that he could read the signs. i appreciate that here in san francisco you guys at least not only do take words and say things but also take actions, and i just want to say i appreciate that. as well as giving a voice and a place for patients to speak in the medical cannabis task force, patients having a place to assemble and having their voices heard while hopefully being aggregated into something that our board of supervisors can attend to, knowing that the community does have a lot of concerns, and we appreciate them being attended to, even today. thank you. president chiu: thank you.
3:19 pm
next speaker. >> hello, my name is larry. i am here to speak. i am sorry i am late. i had a statement to read. with the protest that happened on saturday, and i wanted to read a statement, please. this is a statement in support from october 24, 2011, the san francisco board of supervisors. a 21-year-old a student at san francisco city college, and a hip hop artist's, outspoken on many issues, including free bus basset -- bus passes for youth and opposing brutality. there was the san francisco killing. there was a press conference held in the bayview announcing the october 22 national day of protest to stop police brutality and repression. the next day, tuesday, october
3:20 pm
18, he was arrested, beaten up, and locked up while trying to exercise his rights to videotape in a public space, along with his brother tommy. he is still in jail. his unlawful arrest incarceration effectively silenced him from taking part in the peaceful rally on october 22, and there have been others who have spoken out over the murder and other injustices. these are clear violations to the freedom of speech, as a was violations of the fourth amendment regarding unlawful search and seizure. we ask that people pay attention to his situation. he is also taking a courageous stand with the hunger strikers throughout california, so we say to drop all charges against him and others and stop the
3:21 pm
brutalization of all of those facing torture. guantánamo. support occupied -- occupy san francisco. president chiu: thank you. >> hi, my name is robin, a san francisco resident, and today i'm going to read my testimony. i have come before you today to testify about something that has been concerning the four weeks. ab 499, which allows schools to treat kids for std's without contacting parents. there is the hpv vaccine's, for
3:22 pm
the papilloma virus, which can cause warts and cervical cancer. the report is a dire one. over 22,000 side effects have been reported, ranging from flu- like symptoms do much worse, including coma and death. 106 deaths have been reported but probably a lot more. we are talking about kids coming home from school and dropping dead in the next days, weeks, and months. take a look at the website sanevax. what is in the vaccine? we know that there is a recombinant vaccine. there is a known carcinogen. merck pharmaceuticals, the vaccine manufacturer, has no legal liability. i repeat, no legal liability at this point. the taxpayers pay for the
3:23 pm
vaccine, and the families shall the burden with disabled and dead children, so what i would like to ask you is what can the city and county of san francisco do? should there be an injunction to stop any administering of this vaccine to any kids here until there has been further investigation? can the board researched this, work to repeal ab? these are my questions today, and think you for your attention. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> mr. president, members of this assembly, $1.20 million is a lot of money to be spent on a
3:24 pm
piece of furniture for this legislative place. at the same time, nobody is paying attention to those poor people who are sleeping on the sidewalk day in and day out. it is about time you wake up. i, as a senior, i am here to protest on behalf of those people. they need to have some place where they can come out of the cold and out of the rain. it is going to get colder, so i am asking all of you today to come up with a resolution to help these poor people.
3:25 pm
president chiu: next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is dave schneider. i have arrived a little late, but i heard good news that the agenda item number 12 passed, and hopefully sfmta -- president chiu: sir, i am sorry, but according to our board rules, you cannot speak on an item that has been heard. >> thank you for your vote. let me turn to a couple of other things. when i was a kid, i learned about civic pride, and i thought these two items i am going to mention to you, this very board of supervisors before.
3:26 pm
it has to do with civic pride. one relates to this very building that you are sitting in right now. if i have got my information correct, part of the city bureaucracy, and then in the real-estate office, did you know that there is no plaque or memorial in this building whatsoever to the very laborers who built this building? none. 0. perhaps you can pass a
3:27 pm
correcting resolution and spend a few bucks to honor the very laborers who built this building. also, the u.n. flag is not flown over the veterans building. perhaps he might consider that in occupy reality, occupy civic pride. president chiu: next speaker. >> do not let the facts for you. that is an expression. -- do not let the facts fool you. there is an awareness we have of individuals, which, in my case, which i have proof of, assaulted and battered so badly.
3:28 pm
these are wonderful, wonderful creative help for our emotionally in balance. in one week's time, -- there are so many, many positive people out here. we need to get our input about how badly or well every dollar is spent, who is employed, and who should not be. if we use electronics, we can do this. i mean, why are we not being led. we have no leadership that is going to pull us out of this abomination that keeps going down and down, more aggression, more lack of rights, more lack of respect, more lack of safety. i want to run for mayor. i am not allowed to run for mayor with all of you people protecting me or sabotage. broken arms, drive around, left, right, in center. my papers thrown in the
3:29 pm
dumpster. i have the proof. i have said, "will you call the fbi for these hate crimes?" no one knows. i really believe that the way to wisdom is pleasant to this, and we deserve peace. we deserve pleasanton this. we deserve fairness, and we deserve to be able to restore the city to constitutional rights, to fairness and fun and effectiveness, and people will give us that input if we give them the opportunity to involve themselves in this government. they want involvement, and we can do that. we can creatively get the tools -- president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >>
