I just watched a 100 million plus boat dock at my old families private dock before the city took the last piece of respectability from my own father. He was just an Indian anyways and it didn't really matter. Just like those historic registrar homes we used to live in and we were not allowed to modernize them, but now the city has abandoned property, they are either pulling them down for a cement building, moving them to a different location. acquiring the building for their own uses, or simply acting as if they are not over a hundred years old and putting in plyboard instead of real wood and painting or staining over virgin original built.
Then there was the million dollar speed boat already parked in the nearby area. It is said to belong to the really fancy boat with a swimming pool on the top deck, a full size jacuzzi on the inner bottom deck and a helipad on the front. Where did it come from? It wasn't towed behind them and it didn't come with them?
The city said they needed our property next to the trolley line. It was in direct line with the city hall, which they have just torn down. They needed the old house moved and the barn and other buildings destroyed so they could put in a dry park with a bunch of trees and a water pond where there was once a swimming pool and tennis court.
There was also an original gas station and drive in on the other side of the lot, where once only those who could afford a car, parked it nearby and had it serviced by real mechanics. It is now a parking lot, and the streets in between the city hall and the once new federal building are high rise apartment buildings, not government offices.
Instead they built a row of court houses made of glass and hall of justice along Broadway, just up from the train station which Amtrak services instead of the older Union one which is now part of a Hard Rock Hotel.
Sometimes, my father would forget where he was and fall down in exhaustion at the old location. The new location was up the hill, and too much for his failing heart. He would also be arrested for trespassing on his property in either location, even though there was no bill of sale, nor a title either as the county clerk has a way of forgetting to file paper work.
Instead we were huddled into a modern temporary home, on the extension of the property, which was the water front. We collected taxes ferry fees and ferried people across the short expanse to Coronado. Then they built the bridge. We also collected fishing fees off the small island, which had a land bridge. Then they needed the property for yet another parking lot. Now they have gone from making a private farm, with a fishing pier to a public park serving burgers and bait, to a now enclosed outdoor amphitheater, without contacting the original owners. My grandparents were still alive when this began, but they were only war heroes from that dismissed WWII war. Not as exciting as the Vietnam one nor the much more well known Desert Storm.
So, disembarking without a mask was a young blond girl with a small dog in her arms, and a couple of black SUVs and professional looking drivers. She seems to be related to someone very important. The new Hilton built some decades ago has been closed for the entire pandemic. She had her belongings unloaded and one wonders where she is going. The Crown and the Handley are being used as isolation units for the homeless and the ill.
The Coronado just reopened, so maybe she is going to enjoy the haunted hotel built on top of someone else's property. One can tell, because they simply lifted the original houses up off the ground and built underneath them. They also added a few more from the beach, giving the infamous hotel an eclectic look. Along with the round barn building which is used as a ballroom. Round barns were also used as religious buildings in the old days.
The area was once inhabited with Japanese, Russians and the French who did not deal with the Spanish Armada or the British Royal fleet. They left behind clues everywhere, and then the outlaws built missions at each point they felt threatened up the Baja and California coast. They would have made it up through Washington if they could have but got caught off guard by another bunch of lying thieves, the Bear Flag revolt, a bunch of men who held a family of women at gun point until the General Vallejo relinquished the Mexican hold over the French Napoleon owned lands to swine.
Real estate thieves and land grabbers from the time of Daniel Boone, breaking international treaties for a bunch of homeless people who had nothing better to do, than steal from the locals. Then there was the infamous Pancho Villa who rose they said out of the hills and took over what was left of a French community to stage an independence from Mexico, causing a dozen teenagers to be murdered who were left guarding gates to the castle in Mexico city.
Odd, that the US had to come to the aid of California, once the terrorist's took it away from a country which had stooled it from the already allocated land grants of another country, march on Mexico city for the Alamo, which was actually inside of Spain owned Mexico, and then encourage those who had not had enough of war with the civil war, to enter Mexico city to save it from another bunch of criminals who had shot the nephew of the French President/ Emperor.
Mexico city is where they moved the Inquisition, after ridding Iberia of the Islamic alter rulers from the designated ones after Mohammed died. In Mexico, there is evidence of Jewish communities, who were called Conversos, those who had to give up their religion for the Catholic one in order to survive. They were apparently deported to the New Spain in order to rid Spain of any diseased mind or individuals.
After having wrenched Texas from New Spain, they gave half of it to Independent Mexico, making the state appear to be a vagina, as Florida, a French held property was made to look like, well you know, a limp thing. They gave away Baja as well, something the Mexicans had still not entered, as it was a long ways from Mexico city and across a strip of water. The only ones living there were the Indians and the French.
The Russians had outpost throughout upper California and perhaps Baja as well from the names of the religious sites meant to super impose a different religion upon the natives. Russia is the older Orthodox religion prior to a group of outcast making their way to what is now called the Vatican state. Not that they did not have to move to Avignon in France for a short while, while under siege from Germany and other nations bitter over the split from the original church in Constantinople.
Thieves and criminals have a habit of stealing other peoples property. We are in the middle of a Pandemic, with important elections going on throughout the world. A young girl with a small dog disembarks without a mask or evidence of quarantine. Should we be suspicious? Should we think she is special? Or does she have the power to save the world.? Or is she from the right types of people, not Indians, nor pathetic old religion?
Instead of all these people marching for injustice, which is nice but it is not unknown to have a case overthrown. And there is still a chance Michelle Obama might come off her high perch and mingle with her people. Especially those from her previous life, before her white daddy provided her with a cleaned slate and a free ride into an expensive college.
This after the Indians took over a federal Civil War outpost, because they were told to go home during the holidays and not come back when they were given the impression they could go to school and get an education.
Of course, most of those who protested peacefully sold out for careers made out of paper instead of real work, using others coat tails to get where they are without looking back at what they left behind. Familiar story.
Well, is it safe to go outside yet? The EU is refusing access from Russia and US into their fragile countries after the worst of the pandemic, hoping the second wave wont hit them any harder than they already have been hit. It will, of course, as the nature of disease and the fallacy of humans, someone will sneak in, who has the infection.
When will the rest of us be released from hell? Most people don't now what it means to live under military rule. Or see entire villages die of a single disease. Most don't realize how fortunate we are to have a governor and a government willing to deal with the people instead of squirreling away in their bunkers. The protestors have rights and so do the police. It is those who break the law on both sides who should not have rights, that includes falsely calling others insane or criminals or even that they have dirty hands.
The disease is not coming from our hands, but the very air we breather which was contaminated at least six months earlier or even a few years, as the disease developed and mutated into a deadly virus instead of laying dormant for decades and reappearing again and again as the plague kept hitting Europe for almost four hundred years.
Another reason, many boarded boats and simply slipped away to areas of the world uncharted and non-diseased prior to the actual crossing of Christopher Columbus who immediately libeled the natives that they spread disease, namely Syphilize. There is no evidence it did not exist previously, just no recorded information on the ship crew ailment of adultery's while not actually living in a Christian country.
As a nation we are looking forward to a peaceful resolve of the issues of racism on both sides. For an honest civil force who attempt to work within the limits of the law. And for an end to a disease probably caused by some laboratory mistake, and then synthesized through some drug addicts poor hygiene habits.
The rest of us, wash our hands usually, while watching people with the filthy habit of smoking and drug addicts still leave their used needles for others to pick up or too step upon. Those who are immune will survive, and those with low immunity will not. It is part of history from before Egyptian times, the real curse of the mummies, causing interlopers not to be able to breath.
Well, it will be over when it is over, and not before it takes as many with it as it can. The rules are always misapplied, but it is labeling others as disease carriers or spreaders or even murderers that will keep us as a people or at least a splintered cultural nation from moving forward.
How I wish I still had a boat to crawl onto, instead of a collective homeless shelter. Not unlike the refugee sanctuaries or even the hospitals and monasteries of the past. Going native, I believe is the correct political term. What would we do without millionaires coming to our common shores and spreading their wealth? Nothing at all, but perhaps die from unemployment and other unmentionables.
