“San Francisco has become “half ‘Glee,’ half zombie movie”. The whole city is the Tenderloin now. “Y’all niggers need a Batman!” – Dave Chapelle
California in general and San Francisco in particular is a kakistocracy centered around bubble economics, various derivatives of woke politics and rent seeking. Rent-seeking is the act of growing one’s wealth by manipulating the social or political environment without creating new wealth. Attempts at capture of regulatory agencies to gain a coercive monopoly can result in advantages for rent-seekers in a market while imposing disadvantages or negative externalities on their uncorrupt competitors.
For example $2 billion a year is spent for 9000 street people in San Francisco alone. The homeless or street people business comes with high administration costs – aka grifting. As much as 75% of funds spent goes to administration. These rent seeking grifters are politically organized and push a range of deleterious policies whose purpose seems to be drawing down or levelling the city.
French radical Louis Antoine de Saint-Just sought a return to “original virtue” and advocated a “renewed communion with the primitive simplicity of nature.” Saint-Just avowed, “That which produces general good is always terrible”. Rings of Sabattean-Frankism.

The district attorneys are woke resulting in little law enforcement. Prop 47 decriminalized petty theft under $950. Organized mobs of looters ransack retailers throughout the city. This is the larceny industry.
Fences at the wholesale level amass $100,000 to $200,000 worth of merchandise each day, which they sell to a “diverter.” The diverter repackages the stolen goods in counterfeit packaging and sells the products online. Nationally, just five diverters dominate the trade in stolen merchandise from the national store chains.
There is additional free reign for drug users, dealers and traffickers. The grifting industry freely dispenses drugs and needles in centers.
Drug-related deaths in the city jumped 41% in the first quarter of 2023.

The police are understaffed and defunded. Nonsensical woke policy has been extended to basic police work such as: San Francisco to Stop Releasing Most Mug Shots to Prevent ‘Implicit Bias’ Against ‘Black And Brown Men’.

For more than two decades, San Francisco continues to be considered a sanctuary for people in the U.S. illegally, prohibiting police officers from accessing people’s immigration ID and even ignoring Immigration Customs and Enforcement detainer requests.
The result of all this egregious malice is stark and ongoing. These closures are announced almost daily.
Nordstrom will close two downtown locations, while Saks Off 5th is closing on Market Street, the latest retailers to shutter stores in San Francisco. https://t.co/YiS616e4Ke

The Nordstrom at Westfield will close at the end of August, the company confirmed on Tuesday. The retailer’s exit will leave a gaping vacancy that could be very difficult to fill: the store sprawls across 312,000 square feet and five floors. A Nordstrom Rack across the street is also slated to close in July.

Walgreens announces another store closure in San Francisco. Walgreens has closed 22 locations in the area. Walgreens attributed the latest closing to “multiple factors, including retail theft.”

In San Francisco, the downtown area is experiencing its worst office vacancy crisis on record – with 31% of space available for lease or sublease, the SF Chronicle reports.
In the heart of the city, an astounding 18.4 million square feet of real estate is available — enough space to house 92,000 employees and the equivalent of 13 Salesforce Towers.
Union Bank, which owns the 300,000-square-foot tower in San Francisco, listed it in 2020 at $250 million, amid zero interest. In 2022, it pulled the listing. During that time, Mitsubishi UFJ sold Union Bank to U.S. Bancorp, the fifth largest bank in the US; the deal closed in December 2022.
Union Bank then relisted the tower in February 2023 at $120 million. It has now made a deal to sell the building for $60 million to $67 million to San Francisco-based SKS Real Estate Partners and South Korea-based Genesis, according to sources cited by San Francisco Business Times.
550 California, owned by Wells Fargo, which originally listed it for $160 million, then pulled the listing, and will try again in 2023.
There are already two major defaults in San Francisco: PIMCO’s Columbia Property Trust defaulted on the debt of the office towers at 201 California St. and at 650 California St.
Think of all the housing the abandoned retail space could provide for the cult of the homeless!
Here in Vancouver, BC, Canada we have a similar situation – at least vis-a-vis drug addicts, homelessness and mental health issues: since 2016, when a public health emergency was first declared by the province, we have borne witness to 10,000+ fatal overdoses; with the vast majority of them tied to fentanyl. Moreover, although most tourists/visitors to our province/city often make complimentary comments on the opulence and beauty of the topography of the city – especially the DT/West End areas; few – if any – of these said sightseers are cognizant of the horrid and horrific sights and sounds that are just a stone’s throw away from this valhalla, namely, the Downtown East-Side; where crime, open drug use and abject poverty is ubiquitous. That is all! RGB-Y3 out!!
ZOG organized crime — just like the wars for Israel — has blown back on the Zoglodytes that now comprise so many of the “elites” of the US. How many of these corporations have signed on to kosher ESG and “woke” and BLM and the Holocaust industry? America has become a nest of vipers, just like Jesus warned against before the fall of ancient Israel — brought on by the corrupt Golden Calfer establishment, which has again infested US, the “Enlightened” West, and ZOG Levant.
After so many, many decades of trying to make people aware of what’s been happening, only to be ridiculed, (many times to the point of violence), now in my later years (75), I find it amusing. Only the Marxist Communists (“woke”, “lefties” and tools of the CBC, (central bank clan), dance around the flames of chaos/insanity like a tribe of flame-worshipping beasts. They don’t realize that like the Schiff/Wall Street created USSR, once they are of no further use their owners will gather them up and eliminate them. We can’t say we were never warned;
Thomas Jefferson.
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies,” Jefferson wrote. ” If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around(these banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
“The issuing power of currency shall be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
“It is indispensable to trouble in all countries the people’s relations with their governments so as to utterly exhaust with dissension, hatred, struggle, envy and even by the use of torture, by starvation, BY THE INOCULATION OF DISEASES, (caps mine) by want, so that the Goyim see no other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty.”
– From Protocol 10 (Protocols of the learned elders of Zion).
Good job Paschn!
There could and should be thorough and incisive analysis on each of the individual Protocols themselves. Each one could involve lengthy essays, or 2-3hr podcasts! Regardless of its disputed, and much maligned origins and history, ‘The Protocols,’ to me, is the most harrowing and intimidating document I’ve come across.
The fact that there aren’t more people on “our so-called side” dissecting its central aims, methods, and cross-referencing it to many of the events that have taken place since European people have become aware of it says a lot. I think it speaks, in part, to the successful multi-decades campaign to smear, dismiss, and outright not acknowledge its authenticity. A few years ago, Mike King put out a worthwhile publication on ‘The Protocols’ with some supplementary analysis, but, other than that, one will not find any second literature dealing with this most important document.
Definitely much exegetical work that could be mined from these infamous ‘Protocols!’ However, it first starts by talking about them to begin with!
I live in that area. It’s the same in the East Bay: eg El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Oakland, etc. etc. Massive shoplifting and other criminal behavior. I can’t go into a store around here without seeing stealing, and Security (if they have it) is helpless to do anything about it. Many stores have closed. We have very few stores, no malls, very few restaurants.. And yet the brainwashed masses think everything is normal.
Does California’s CAFR detail hidden accounts worth billions of dollars?
