Detroit water doom: Mass incarcerations for protesters following shutoffs!

I am paying close attention and I care. I didnt mean to sound like I didnt. If there is something you think I should do, please ask! Otherwise, I will keep my ears open and try to let my friends and relatives know about it.

I emailed my contact at Fox2, emailed the author of the article, asked her if she would call in tonight, emailed my cohost on Rense tonight (because she already sent me a topic list earlier) so we can accomodate this story.

How many local GLPers might be able to go to this thing tomorrow? Anybody?

This could get really ugly.

Water cut-offs in Detroit a violation of human rights
By
Maude Barlow May 27, 2014

From the article...But the people of Detroit face another sinister enemy. Every day, thousands of them, in a city that is situated right by a body of water carrying one fifth of the world’s water supply, are having their ‎water ruthlessly cut off by men working for the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. Most of the residents are African American and two thirds of the cut offs involve children, which means that in some cases, child welfare authorities are moving in to remove children from their homes as it is a requirement that there be working utilities in all homes housing children.

People are given no warning and no time to fill buckets, sinks and tubs. Sick people are left without running water and running toilets. People recovering from surgery cannot wash and change bandages. Children cannot bathe and parents cannot cook. Is this a small number of victims? No. The water department has decreed that it will turn the water off to all 120,000 residences that owe ‎it money by the end of the summer although it has made no such threat to the many corporations and institutions that are in arrears on their bills as well. How did it come to this?

Detroit is a victim of decades of market driven neoliberal policy that put business and profit ahead of public good. Social security programs have been slashed and their delivery privatized. Investment in essential infrastructure has been slashed. Every winter, hundreds of aging pipes spew water from leaks and the water has not been turned off in thousands of abandoned houses and boarded up businesses where frozen pipes also lose huge amounts of water.

With globalization and the hollowing out of the once mighty auto industry, wealth and businesses fled to he suburbs, draining ‎the city of its tax base and the water department of its revenues. (There are one million fewer people living in Detroit than there were in the 1950s.)

The burden of paying for the water and sewer services landed squarely on those who stayed, mostly poor African Americans. Rates rose 119 per cent in a decade in a city with record high unemployment and a 40 per cent poverty rate...

Where do you propose they go? They had better not come to the west side. Things are quite nice over here. We don't need any of that crap! Muskegon is the last bucket to clean up, but they are working on it. Right now, nothing can be bought or sold within Muskegon Heights, the ghetto of that town. Kent and Ottawa counties' economic outlook is very good. Things are humming along. Most take pride in there neighborhood and with a Christian work ethic and the scenic shoreline and all that goes with that, it is a very desirable place to live and raise a family.

I am rooting for the police. Throw all the non-payers in jail.

We dealt with this 3 or 4 pages back.

The issues are:

1) Minimal to no warning water is being shut off for as little as 60 day delinquency

2) Proof of shutoff not provided, in the case mentioned arrested for asking questions

3) Protesters are now prisoners

4) Prisoners are being held at an old jail that is supposed to be CLOSED per MDOT

5) Multiple BS charges added at time of arraignment

6) CPS sweeps in next to take children from "homes w/o water"

Nothing was ever mentioned in regards to a mass migration. Simply a permanent systematic removal through economic warfare, lawmaking, and any means necessary.

Thank you for the pin.

Sorry I have been out most of the day, will try to respond to posts made since last night.

Today it's about WATER. Tomorrow, who knows. Land grabs and water grabs are going to be all the rage, and have been for awhile. All part of Agenda 21.

There are some people on this thread that have a psuedo sense of security. No one is safe. If you live in the US, you are fair game. They are going after the easy ones first.

@ Georgia Dog ? Your posts have nothing to do with this thread !

We all know unions Destroyed Detroit , please stay on thread Topic

If you return here and run your mouth again it's going to get ugly

You have never been 60 days late on a bill? Lucky you.

Listen here, douche. I responded to what many people posted. So I guess I was on topic.

With this happening to hundreds of people, I wonder why MSM hasn't picked it up. That's kind of weird. I mean if it was just 1-2 people here and there I can see they would maybe get lost in the system. But hundreds??

I am a local and I am perfectly fine with this.

I would bet that any account from these "victims" will be very over-exaggerated.

the cleanup of Detroit is not going to be pretty but it needs to be done.

^ And what do you suppose "they" intend to do with the land?

What is a good source to read up on Agenda 21?
