Neighbors,
Jennifer Jones has a good essay about the enormous health benefits of
eating dandelions and other, so called weeds, in today's UC Review. I
sent her a warning about Clark Park through the Weekly Press. If anyone
knows her group, please warn them about the years of herbicides dumped
in Clark Park!!
I live across from Clark Park and don't know if the other parks
controlled by UCD have also been poisoned. Some people who understand
the health benefits of the divine plants, murdered as weeds, believe
that the health benefits still outweigh the toxicity of possible
chemicals. (The people in her group are probably safe in Clark Park
because the dandelions have been wiped out.)
On our public list, Brian Siano of FOCP recently responded to my request
for the names of the chemicals dumped over the years with this statement:
"The landscapers don't use herbicides on Clark Park. They pull weeds by hand."
The rhetorical technique of Siano's response deserves a closer look at some
other time. He never answered my question about the names of the chemicals.
Readers are to view my question as that of an uniformed outsider. Yet he
didn't deny the history of poisons. The original question:
Did anyone ever uncover the name of the particular "safe" herbicides dumped
in Clark Park since UCD has controlled the park?
Of course, FOCP will protect the secrecy of UCD since the community has turned
its back on FOCP, and because UCD is the source of their leaders illusion of
power!
Has the subcontractor, for the UCD subcontractor, stopped using herbicides this past
spring? It's hard to tell. The dandelions can not be found in park A. However, Sam and
I did see that clovers are attempting a comeback, at least in part of park A. Most of
these poisons, designed for suburban lawns, also target clover so possibly our
"noise" last fall has gotten them to stop the bi-annual poisoning. The last
reported use was last fall.
Unfortunately, the UCD refused to answer my e-mail request to attend the secret
Clark Park Partnership. If you've gone to any meetings of the anointed lately,
you may have seen the newest UCD director give a little speech about UCD's
commitment to transparency-haha. Do you think UCD will allow us to look at
their files about the contract with Moon-haha?
I suspect that their experts never knew what was being dumped on Clark Park! Like the
Fenton affair, these bumbling "experts" don't care about what they do until the
shit hits the fan. As long as they're getting corporate money to claim salvation of our
criminal wasteland, they don't care what they do!
