GOING TOTALLY THIRD WORLD AS PUNISHMENT FOR PAST SINS
Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday, February 23, 2018, and on this Report I once again rise in defense of my civilization. I watched with great interest portions of Nancy Pelosi’s marathon speech, primarily on illegal immigration, given the other day in Congress. I wonder how she could be much affected by the destruction of civilization in California. How could she even be aware of what Victor Davis Hanson has called the "reversal of civilization" in California? Living on her Northern California estate in palatial luxury, and in her multi millionaire lifestyle, she remains above and excluded from the policies she insists the rest of us accept.
She is exempt from the consequences of open borders and massive immigration from the third world. NBC in the Bay area recently did a study of more than 153 blocks in San Francisco. When I read the report entitled “Diseased Streets” , my first thought was that this nation has lost the will to defend itself, but then I read Mr. Hanson’s article and I realized that civilization itself is being deconstructed before our eyes.
How bad is it? Let me share a few words from the NBC report: “How dirty is San Francisco? An NBC Bay Area investigation reveals a dangerous mix of drug needles, garbage, and feces throughout downtown San Francisco. The investigative unit surveyed 153 blocks of the city—the more than 20-mile stretch includes popular tourist spots like Union Square and major hotel chains. The area—bordered by Van Ness Avenue, Market Street, Post Street and Grant Avenue—is also home to City Hall, schools, playgrounds, and a police station.”
Dozens of needles litter the streets on every block along with urine, feces, and trash. The teachers say they just tell the children that those things are full of germs, dangerous, and should not be touched. What it is, and why, is a conversation that is a little difficult to have with a small child. Mothers walk their children to school and often pull them around piles of needles and human waste. Folks, let me remind you that I am talking about San Francisco, not India.
Dr. Lee Riley an infectious disease expert at The University of California Berkeley, warned that once fecal matter dries it can become airborne, releasing potentially dangerous viruses, such as the rotavirus. The results of inhaling it can prove fatal he said, especially in children. Dr. Riley has researched conditions in some of the worst slums across the world and has written a book entitled “Slum Health” , in which he examines health conditions created by extreme poverty.
“The contamination is much greater than communities in Brazil or Kenya or India”, he said. In those countries slum dwellings are often long term homes for families and so there is an attempt to make the surroundings more livable. The result in San Francisco is often extreme contamination.
City Supervisor Hillary Ronen believes she has the solution, though. “Unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable”, she said “we’re losing tourists; we’re losing conventions in San Francisco. All of this is happening because we aren’t addressing the root, which is we need more temporary beds for street homelessness.” So there you have it folks, if we provide more temporary beds for the homeless San Francisco’s relentless slide into the third world will be halted.
Supervisor Ronen wants to find the revenue to provide the beds whether its raising business taxes by ballot initiative, or taking a looking at reallocating the general fund to take it from some other place in the city. The 2016-2017 budget for San Francisco Public works includes $60.1 million for Street Environmental Services. The budget has nearly doubled over the last five years but apparently it isn’t ...
