The Fall of Detroit, then the USA:
THE lifestyle YOU'VE been taking for granted has been DISSOLVING like a
SANDCASTLE at the water's edge, WASHING into the sea and it'll NEVER
return! READ and BELIEVE it NOW!

environmentalist, traveler)
By Frosty Wooldridge
For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990, I worked in Detroit Michigan
I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs,
school truancy, car-jacking, gangs, and human depravity. I watched entire
city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars,
trucks, buses, and school yards. Trash everywhere!
Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it, and ignored it. Tens of
thousands, and then hundreds of thousands today exist on federal welfare,
free housing, and food stamps!
With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to 10, and in
one case, one woman birthed 24 children as reported by the Detroit Free
Press, all on American taxpayer dollars.
A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom wanted. I
saw Lyndon Baines Johnson's 'Great Society' flourish in Detroit If you
give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for
doing nothing.
Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America outside of
Richard Daley in Chicago rode Detroit down to its knees... He set the
benchmark for cronyism, incompetence, and arrogance. As a black man, he
said, "I am the MFIC." The IC meant "in charge".
You can figure out the rest. Detroit became a majority black city with 67
percent African-Americans.
As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and
science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life
in another city or state.
Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today. At the same
time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city, so much so, that
Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan
but most work in Detroit As the whites moved out, the Muslims moved in.
As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful
Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit suffers so much shoplifting
that grocery stores no longer operate in many inner city locations. You
could cut the racial tension in the air with a knife!
Detroit may be one of our best examples of multiculturalism: pure dislike,
and total separation from America
Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American
Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan paid for by Saudi
Arabia oil money. High school flunk out rates reached 76 percent last
June, according to NBC's Brian Williams. Classrooms resemble more foreign
countries than America English? Few speak it! The city features a 50
percent illiteracy rate and growing.
Unemployment hit 28.9 percent in 2009 as the auto industry vacated the
city. In Time Magazine's October 4, 2009, "The Tragedy of Detroit: How a
great city fell, and how it can rise again," I choked on the writer's
description of what happened. "If Detroit had been ravaged by a hurricane,
and submerged by a ravenous flood, we'd know a lot more about it," said
Daniel Okrent. "If drought, and carelessness had spread brush fires across
the city, we'd see it on the evening news every night."
Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it, if natural disaster had devastated the
city that was once the living proof of American prosperity, the rest of the
country might take notice.
But Detroit once our fourth largest city, now 11th, and slipping rapidly,
has had no such luck. Its disaster has long been a slow unwinding that
seemed to remove it from the rest of the country.
Even the death rattle that in the past year emanated from its signature
industry brought more attention to the auto executives than to the people
of the city, who had for so long been victimized by their dreadful decision
making."
As Coleman Young's corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of
federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kick backs, and
illegality permeating his administration. I witnessed the city's death
from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people out
of every sector of decaying Detroit
"By any quantifiable standard, the city is on life support. Detroit 's
treasury is $300 million short of the funds needed to provide the barest
municipal services," Okrent said. "The school system, which six years ago
was compelled by the teachers' union to reject a philanthropist's offer of
$200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in
receivership. The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain unsolved.
Three years after Katrina devastated New Orleans unemployment in that
city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit the unemployment rate is 28.9%.
That's worth spelling out: twenty-eight point nine percent." At the end of
Okrent's report, and he will write a dozen more about Detroit, he said,
"That's because the story of Detroit is not simply one of a great city's
collapse, it's also about the erosion of the industries that helped build
the country we know today. The ultimate fate of Detroit will reveal much
about the character of America in the 21st century. If what was once the
most prosperous manufacturing city in the nation has been brought to its
knees, what does that say about our recent past? And if it can't find a
way to get up, what does that say about our future?"
As you read in my book review of Chris Steiner's book, "$20 Per Gallon",
the auto industry won't come back. Immigration will keep pouring more, and
more uneducated third world immigrants from the Middle East into Detroit
thus creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony in America If 50 percent
illiteracy continues, we will see more homegrown terrorists spawned out of
the Muslim ghettos of Detroit Illiteracy plus Islam equals walking human
bombs.
You have already seen it in Madrid Spain ; London England and Paris
France with train bombings, subway bombings and riots. As their numbers
grow, so will their power to enact their barbaric Sharia Law that negates
republican forms of government, first amendment rights, and subjugates
women to the lowest rungs on the human ladder. We will see more honor
killings by upset husbands, fathers, and brothers that demand subjugation
by their daughters, sisters and wives. Muslims prefer beheadings of women
to scare the hell out of any other members of their sect from straying.
Multiculturalism: what a perfect method to kill our language, culture,
country, and way of life.
IF WE DON'T STAND UP, AND SCREAM AT WASHINGTON AND OUR STATE, CITY, AND
LOCAL LEADERS THIS IS WHAT AWAITS THE REST OF AMERICA IF YOU FOLLOW THE
NEWS AT ALL YOU KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE AND SPAIN
IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A BUNCH OF HOOEY AND YOU FEEL NO DUTY TO FIGHT
FOR THIS COUNTRY, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO STAND AND
FIGHT.
