Flashback: Presideo Partners (Eminent Domain Corruption between Pelosi, Gorbachev...)
Canada Free Press ^ | November 15, 2006 | Judi McLeod

"Investigative journalists doing their jobs should dig deep, into Pelosi's role in the controversial, $280-million, federal-funded Hunters Point Shipyard affair - in relation to her alleged role as an investor in a real estate investment called PRESIDIO PARTNERS.

Look past the fact that the 936-acre site, of which about 443 acres are not polluted - Hunter Point is the largest tract of undeveloped land in San Francisco.

Roll Call stated that in early 2004, Murtha “reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the City of San Francisco” and that “Laurence Pelosi, nephew of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, at the time was an executive of the company which owned the rights of the land.”

..only the most recent chapter of Nancy Pelosi, Murtha and San Francisco's largest tract of undeveloped land.

...critics clamoring that Pelosi is reneging on her pledge to clean up corruption by endorsing Murtha's bid for House Majority leader don't paint the whole picture.

In her own words on March 31, 2004: “I have been working on this agreement for more than a decade, and I am proud we are near our goal. I thank Senators Feinstein and Boxer, Mayor Newsom, and former Mayor Willie Brown for their work on the Bayview Hunters Point Shipyard agreement. I also thank my good friend Congressman Jack Murtha for assisting us in this last round of negotiation.”

“Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been a point of contention since my days as a San Francisco Supervisor, with all sides fighting over the level of contamination at the base and who will pay for cleanup.” said Senator Dianne Feinstein. “This agreement is a significant breakthrough, and signals an end to the bickering that has gone on for a quarter of a century.”"

- Pelosi's involvement in the disposal of federal military surplus land is matched only by Gorbachev, who as founder of Green Cross International (GCI) devised a mechanism for converting American military bases to civilian uses converting the bases over to “global centers for sustainability”. Gorbachev's mission of converting American military bases to global centers for sustainability came just two years after he resigned as president of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991. - CGI built on the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and supported the implementation of the summit's Agenda 21. - Pelosi patiently shepherded Agenda 21 through Congress. On March 29, 1993 she introduced a joint resolution (H.J.RES166) to renew the call for the United States to “assume a strong leadership role in implementing Agenda 21 and other Summit agreements”, eventually gathering 67 co-sponsors for her bill, 32 of whom are still in Congress. - In a speech entitled “From Swords to Plowshares, delivered in the House of Representatives on June 4, 1992, Pelosi cheered the arrival of Gorbachev to the Presidio as a tenant. - (from the article - link above)

Eminent Domain Abuse Watch

The latest Eminent Domain trial wraps up later today. A local government in southern California tried to use “blight” designations to seize swathes of property and hand them over to developers who plan to build luxury condos. One threatened property is a community boxing gym featured in an Institute for Justice video:

Eminent Domain Definition -

Government power to take private property for public use without the owner’s consent. Constitutional provisions in most countries, including the U.S. (in the 5th Amendment to the Constitution), require the payment of just compensation to the owner. As a power peculiar to sovereign authority and coupled with a duty to pay compensation, the concept was developed by such 17th-century natural-law jurists as Hugo Grotius and Samuel Pufendorf. See also confiscation.

This was a case of government representatives (Pelosi/Murthy et al) taking public property and giving it to a well-known communist foreigner for private use. One wonders how that works...

The rest of this excellent article -

““The National Park Service is actively seeking ideas for programs and tenants at this spectacular site. Last month, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev visited the presidio to propose that the Gorbachev Foundation/use be located at the Presidio when the army leaves. In his words, “it is wonderful and symbolic that a military base is being converted for use by the people’.

“As the cold war ends,” Pelosi continued, “it is, indeed, fitting that this army garrison—one of the oldest in the United States—will be transformed to a monument to peace, environmental preservation and recreation as a global park.”

Less than a year after Pelosi’s fawning words, Gorbachev and his American pre-funded $3.5-million Gorbachev Foundation moved into new a white, shingled bayfront house at the historic Presidio overlooking the Golden Bridge.

Next, avowed Communist Gorbachev brought his State of the Art Forum to the Presidio.

Co-chairs of the forum include pretend Republican James Baker 111. Baker served in the Reagan Administration as Treasury Secretary.

The politically avant-garde poo-pooh detractors who point out that Gorbachev has never renounced communism.

In 1989, Gorbachev told the Politburo: “Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant change within the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our aim is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.”

Canadian environmental guru Maurice Strong and Gorbachev are co-architects of the Earth Charter, which both arrogantly boast is a replacement for the Ten Commandments of Moses.

As the song says, House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi has come a long way, Baby. Her long climb to the top came courtesy of two anti-Americans global Pooh-bahs.

`San Francisco’s Nanny” was a useful tool for UN heavy Maurice Strong and one of Mikhail Gorbachev’s most useful idiots.”

that woman is so elitist she doesn’t even think this is corruption. It’s just daily business.

Somewhere out there are ‘little people’ who pay for it all but they are like dimwitted subhuman dwarves who work underground somewhere out of sight.

Bear in mind that James Brown, who was into this shipyard deal with Russia, was sleeping with future Biden VP Kamala Harris.

And News on is now the dictatorial governor of California.

“In a speech entitled “From Swords to Plowshares, delivered in the House of Representatives on June 4, 1992, Pelosi cheered the arrival of Gorbachev to the Presidio as a tenant.”

I wonder if the wording here is tied to this SF spinoff of the VVAW’s network:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swords_to_Plowshares

Swords to Plowshares is a veterans organization that provides job training, housing, and benefits advocacy to low income and homeless U.S. military veterans. Swords to Plowshares also operates a drop-in center for veterans requiring emergency services, and engages in policy work.[1] It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco, supported by governmental and private grants, as well as donations from individuals.[2] Michael Blecker is the executive director. . .

History
1970s
Swords to Plowshares was founded in 1974 by six veterans who had been assigned as VISTA volunteers to work in Bay Area Veterans Administration (VA) facilities. They became concerned that the VA was not properly addressing the needs of returning Vietnam veterans.[3] Within four years, Swords to Plowshares became the first organization certified by the Veterans Administration to represent U.S. military veterans seeking compensation.

The organization began to raise awareness of, and advocate for, veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD and exposure to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War, resulting in Swords to Plowshares accepting a federal grant for veteran service agencies representing veterans who suffered health disorders as a consequence of Agent Orange exposure.[4]

1980s
Recognizing the over-representation of veterans among San Francisco’s homeless population, Swords to Plowshares began to offer a transitional housing program in 1988. This program became a model for transitional housing nationally. During the same period of skyrocketing homelessness, Swords to Plowshares also began offering emergency housing, mental health treatment, and social service referrals through its “drop-in” center in downtown San Francisco.

1990s to present
Swords to Plowshares continued to expand its veteran housing programs from 1998 to 2000 with the lease of a series of decommissioned military barracks in the San Francisco Presidio, which was termed “The Veterans Academy”. This permanent supportive housing facility currently serves more than 100 veterans, offering a variety of vocational training and residential programs.

Legal cases
The Edgewood Arsenal case, VVA, et al. v. CIA, DOD, et al., is a class action lawsuit filed by Swords to Plowshares and Vietnam Veterans of California on behalf of veterans who were exposed to toxins, biological and nerve agents, and mind-altering drugs during military experiments that began in the 1950s.[5] The late Gordon Erspamer, senior litigation counsel in the San Francisco office of Morrison & Foerster, which is representing Swords to Plowshares and Vietnam Veterans of California’s clients, alleged that US soldiers were, at the Edgewood facility northeast of Baltimore, Maryland, secretly subject to a series of CIA mind-control experiments related to those known as MK Ultra. The veterans “volunteered” for human experimentation programs but weren’t informed of the nature of the experiments, weren’t given the awards they were promised, and weren’t properly cared for afterward.[6] The plaintiffs demand details of the experiments, the awards and follow-up health care they deserve; and for the government to supply details to the VA to support claims for their service-connected disabilities.[7]

Maurice Strong is an important name in the original article. He was deeply involved in Oil for Food corruption and North Korea’s nuclear proliferation, and he helped lay the groundwork for Soros taking over the Democratic Party’s purse-strings.
