Yahoo News and CBS San Francisco Spin Multi-Racial Crime, Uses Narrative To Defend Dolores Huerta, Possibly Smear Detractors

San Francisco, California, is no stranger to crime. In fact, it has become a haven for criminals who carry out particularly violent acts, such as the story about a homeless man attacking a woman outside her San Francisco apartment, and getting away with it. So the fact that a mural was spray painted over, should come as no surprise, and wouldn't ordinarily make the news. So why has it, this time?
Well let me draw your attention to this video, first of all: https://news.yahoo.com/murals-honoring-latino-activists-defaced-030928323.html?soc_src=community&soc_trk=fb
Once you've watched the video, tell me - did you notice anything weird? I sure did - it's called media spin, and this time, it's being used to single out Dolores Huerta, in order to push the narrative that whoever spray painted onto these murals, were attacking her personally and no one else. But that's not true. The murals of Sitting Bull and Nelson Mandela were also spray painted that same night, by the perpetrator - in fact, five were mentioned to have been painted. Two were not named.
This did not sit well with me, when I saw the video. You see, I saw the horrible acts committed by Dolores Huerta and the UFW, during my time at the ALRB, when the farmworkers of Gerawan were fighting just to have their votes counted, that had been locked up for five years by the tyrants on the ALRB board. Also, I saw the Wikileaks email, where the UFW (possibly in cahoots with the ALRB) was going to call on Hillary Clinton, to step into the Gerawan case.
To Hillary's credit, she ended up taking no part in the events that unfolded surrounding Gerawan, but it was a strange occurrence nonetheless. So at first, this video even struck me as a possible "false flag" attack, meant specifically to be used in this way, by the reporters weaving this tale. In fact, the title of the story itself is not, "Multiple Racial Groups Targeted By Vandalism." No, no, no. It's "Murals Honoring Latino Activists Defaced In San Francisco's Mission District"
So we can see clearly with this story, that there is a hard spin on the information being provided, and that it is being used to push a narrative, that Dolores Huerta is the only victim. Will the news outlets try and use this story against UFW/Dolores Huerta activists, in the way that the ALRB tried to defame yours truly, when the issue of corruption was raised to the California Senate Rules Committee? Was this "crime" in fact a "false flag attack"? That remains to be seen. But what is clear, is that there is an agenda here, being pushed by the mainstream media.
The artists of the mural don't bother to mention that other races were hit, just that whoever committed this act of vandalism "doesn't like the culture" and has taken things to "a whole new level of disrespect". This is dangerous rhetoric, especially given that we do not have all the facts of the story - two of the murals' racial depictions are not even mentioned. The artists mince their own words, by first stating that they cannot prove that the crime was racially motivated, and then stating that whoever did it, "obviously doesn't like the culture" which makes no sense. You cannot have two diametrically opposed ideas being true at once.
More troubling, is that artist Carlos "Kookie" Gonzalez believes that he has something to say about racial injustice, given that he was a member of the La Raza students at San Francisco state. La Raza means "the race" and refers to a belief in Hispanic superiority. Cathryn Rivera-Hernandez of the ALRB is also a noted La Raza member/lawyer. My point is that it doesn't take much digging, to see where this story is really coming from. But most people do not bother to look beneath the surface.
