flag-bathing-suitMichigan has always been a pretty cool state, besides the fact you can point to where you live on your right hand, a trait which is almost genetically inherent to us. Summer in Michigan is a time to enjoy the scenic wonders of local beaches and swimming pools. And after a fairly cruel winter this year, Michiganders have been anxious to get out and enjoy the warm breezes and sunshine. But the economic hardships of our state have slowly crept into many of our lives. Fun in the Sun is nothing more than a nostalgic memory for many of us old enough to remember them, and the pristine waters we played in as kids are hiding some deep secrets that have affected the health of many of this states residents, often without their knowledge. This summer will be no different, and for some, it’s going to be much, much worse. Especially if you are a resident of the City of Detroit.
The story you are about to hear is extremely disturbing. But for those of us who have followed the New World Order’s plans to implement Agenda 21, this is really not a shocker at all.
Because of some unfortunate and longstanding management issues within the Detroit water department, entire neighborhood blocks have been having their water shut off, without warning or due process, starting 2 weeks ago. However, in the short time since this shut off program was implemented, it has escalated rather quickly into something entirely different. Some of the affected residents, mostly mothers of young children, who asked for verification or proof from the city that they were ‘on the list’ have been jailed, in a concentration-camp style prison that was recently reopened. While in this prison, they have been exposed to deplorable conditions. There is talk from well-respected local activists and attorneys of major human rights violations that are happening in this facility. And, it gets worse. A few days after water services are Hemp detroitdiscontinued, Child Protective Services has been descending on these communities and are taking the children from these homes, placing them in the far-from-stellar State Foster Care System for their own ‘protection‘. As hard to believe as this is, this extremely distressing scenario is real, and will be going on all summer long. The shut off project is being managed by a company called Homrich Wrecking, that was already ousted in 2011 for having sketchy business contracts within the city, worth millions. This time around, Homrich has been handed a cool 5.6 million to shut off the water to 70,000 families as little as 2 months behind on their water bill, a bill that totals roughly $150 bucks. This is regardless of whether or not their taxes, mortgages, and other utilities are up-to-date, in a city that has already lost a million people over the last decade due to outsourcing of jobs in the automobile industry, and a number of other economic factors. Detroit is in Big Trouble, but then again, so are many other cities around the country. And there is a lot more going on then just water shut offs, in case you haven’t noticed (Note: please read this article at Voice of Detroit to get the full picture).
