When I opened my inbox yesterday, there was an email from a new group calling itself Save Our Future! Alameda (we’re lucky that there are so many things to Save! in Alameda).
Apparently someone else watched the SOC!A video about Alameda Point and realized that all their photos showing open space at Alameda Point were in locations that SunCal’s Master Plan has slated for Open Space, making the point of the video a bit pointless (pun intended).
Here’s the email and video:
Media Advisory!
Save Our Future! Alameda joins the many voices in the debate about preserving open space at Alameda Point
We agree with the many, many community groups (there’s at least one with three
different names!) that are pushing for parks and open space at Alameda Point, we must preserve it.
SaveOurFutureAlameda has put together a new commercial:
Yes to Open Space At Alameda Point
Inform yourself about the SunCal proposal on the November Ballot!
Pretty comical if it came from a snarky 3rd party.
If it came from within the profit-seeking Evil Empire as a propaganda smear (I’m going to claim that first!) then somewhat problematic, don’t you think?
There’s an old labor movement song that asks “which side are you on?”
The video does not declare itself, and its intention is as clear as the mud in the Seaplane Lagoon.
If I were to attribute it based on stylistic similarity (obfuscation, exclamation marks, writing), I would say it belongs to The Group with Many Names that opposes SunCal’s plan for AP. But with such a lack of clarity, it’s hard to be sure…
