(Draft version)
I have lived in the Detroit area of Michigan since 1953, an over the years, I have watch Detroit fall apart, and, today, I define Detroit, Michigan, as a "Dead City." Within the last years, I have been more pronounced in calling Detroit a "Dead City," knowing what Barack Obama and watching what Barack Obama has been doing to the United States of America through his legislative actions, all of which have been defective, especially the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (February 17, 2009); in fact, in he summer of 2009, while traveling in other states of the nation, I described how Detroit is a "Dead City" to American citizens of such states as Louisiana and Indiana. And, today, I will report that Detroit is going to be a "Dead City" for decades, and this document will show why, and this document will show what the United States of America will quickly become if people do now strongly and angrily fight against Barack Obama, who is insane (as I note in other documents on my that are available at the Web site of The Hologlobe Press) and the associates of Barack Obama, some of whom are known communists, known promoters of homosexuality, known socialists, known racists, known tax cheats, et cetera.
Let me make a thought clear: When I use the term "general jobless rate," I am describing the jobless rate that does not include information about part-time workers who are trying to find full-time employment and information about people who have stopped looking for work, and when these people are put into the jobless statistics, you have what called "U6 unemployment" figure by the federal government.
* * * The Main Event * * *
I now present a bit of history pertaining to Detroit, and why Detroit is what it is. In the 1970s, the Mayor of Detroit, Coleman A. Young began the process to kill Detroit, and one way in which he did that was to make "whites" enemies to "blacks," and that led to "whites" leaving. Over the years, more and more whites left, and they left because crime went up and violence in the schools rose, and what also happened was blacks who disliked having to pay taxes and get fewer and fewer services each year left for other cities. Since the 1970s, the school system--the Detroit Public School system (or DPS system) has often had budget deficits, and many stories about corruption and mismanagement in relation to Detroit and the DPS became public knowledge, and one of the recent stories was the Mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick corruption incident related to police firings that led to Kwame Kilpatrick's having to leave his job as the mayor and having to spend about three months in prison in 2008.
Examine a number of facts (and you will see others sort of listed in the title of articles in the "Bibliography" of this document):
Fact One: Around 2009, the illiteracy rate for adults in Detroit was at least 47 percent.
Fact Two: The Detroit Public School system had a deficit of $139,000,000 for the 2007-2008 year (Dawsey, Chastity Pratt. "Amid deficit, DPS to return $16 million." Detroit Free Press, 16 January 2009, p. 1B.).
Fact Three: Around April 2009, it was public knowledge that the Detroit Public Schools had a projected deficit of about $305,000,000 (Dawsey, Chastity Pratt. "Signs of trouble ignored: District kept poor records, Bobb says." Detroit Free Press, 2 April 2009, p. 4A.).
Fact Four: In May 2009, it was public knowledge that Wayne County, a big part of which is Detroit, saw a decrease of 77,535 blacks from 2000 to 2008, and that is a 8.9 percent drop.
Fact Five: In mid-June 2009, it was public knowledge that the Detroit Public School system had a deficit of about $430,000,000.000 (Dawsey, Chastity Pratt. "DPS deficit hits $430 million." Detroit Free Press, 19 June 2009, p. 4A.).
Fact Six: On Monday, June 29, 2009, Monica Conyers, the wife of U.S. Representative John Conyers, resigned as a member of the Detroit City Council; she had recently pleaded guilty in a bribery charge.
Fact Seven: On July 19, 2009, the Detroit Free Press reported that Martha Reeves (who was the former lead singer of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and who was a member of the City Council of Detroit) had accumulated about $210,000 in federal and state tax liens since becoming a member of the City Council in 2006 (Elrick, M.L. "Tax debts, money woes hound council." Detroit Free Press, 19 July 2009, p. 1A.).
Fact Eight: Around the end of September 2009, it was public knowledge that about 40 square miles of Detroit, Michigan, were vacant, and, at the time, Detroit covered about 139 square miles, so that means that about one-third of Detroit is vacant land.
Fact Nine: In August 2009, the general jobless rate for the state of Michigan was about 15.2 percent.
Fact Ten: In September 2009, the general jobless rate in the United States increased from 9.7 percent to 9.8 percent, and that jobless rate is not the rate that includes information about part-time workers who are trying to find full-time employment and information about people who have stopped looking for work, and when those persons are taken into account, the complex jobless rate was about about 16.8 percent in September 2009, and, at this time, the general jobless rate for men older than twenty years of age was 10.3 percent, and the general jobless rate for teenagers was 25.9 percent, and the unemployment rate for black adults was 15.4 percent.
Fact Eleven: On October 6, 2009, The Washington Post reported that Michigan has lost 870,000 jobs in the last year years, that Michigan has lost 632,000 jobs since Jennifer Granholm (a Democrat) became the governor of Michigan (which was in 2003), and that Michigan was expected to lose another 130,000 jobs by the end of 2010, and it was reported that Jennifer Granholm believed that by 2020 her push for "green jobs" and a green industry for Michigan would create about 40,000 jobs, which is about 1,000 jobs a year (Hedgpeth, Dana. "In Michigan, A Yellow Light for Green Jobs." The Washington Post, 6 October 2009, p. NA.).
Fact Twelve: On Thursday, October 8, 2009, the Detroit Free Press reported facts from the U.S. Census Bureau, RealtyTrac Inc., and Michigan, and here were some of the facts that were reported. The general unemployment rate for Detroit in August 2009 was 27.8 percent, and the general unemployment rate for Michigan in August 2009 was 15.2 percent. From August 2008 to August 2009, Michigan lost 300,000 jobs. In Detroit, about 32 percent of the households use "food stamps" (which are associated with a federal social program and are used to buy food), and, in Michigan, about 12 percent of the households use "food stamps." (Thierry, Martha. "Measurements of hardship." Detroit Free Press, 8 October 2009, p. 1A.)
Fact Thirteen: The general jobless rate in Michigan in September 2009 was 15.2 percent, and that is information from the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth (Gallagher, John. "State's jobless rate is showing stability." Detroit Free Press, 15 October 2009, p. 1B.).
Fact Fourteen: On September 27, 2009, it was reported by the New York Post that the unemployment for those persons from 16 years of age to 24 years of age is now 53.4 percent, and that is information from the U.S. Labor Department and that figure is a post-World War II high, and it was reported that, since the recession started (in 2008), 6.9-million jobs related to the group have been lost in the country (Wilner, Richard. "The dead end kids: Young, unemployed and facing a tough future." New York Post, 27 September 2009 (last update 29 September 2009), p. NA.).
Fact Fifteen: On Friday, November 6, 2009, more statistics about joblessness were issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the federal government. The national general jobless rate was now 10.2 percent, and the national "U6" jobless rate was now 17.5 percent.
Fact Sixteen: On Thursday, November 12, 2009, the Detroit Free Press published articles entitled "A Bleak outlook for Michigan" and "We'll be among the poorest states for years, study says" that gave, in essence, predictions about Michigan, and the predictions came from the Pew Center on the States, and one prediction noted that the one-million lost recently will not return for 15 years--if there is a full-blown economic recovery (Christoff, Chris. "A bleak outlook for Michigan." Detroit Free Press, 12 November 2009, p. 17A; Christoff, Chris. "We'll be among the poorest states for years, study says." Detroit Free Press, 12 November 2009, p. 1A.).
Fact Seventeen: The Detroit Free Press noted on November 1, 2009, that the jobless rate in Michigan was 15.1 percent in October 2009; the jobless rate had been 15.3 percent in September (Gallagher, John. "State jobless rate falls to 15.1%; employment gains hailed." Detroit Free Press, 19 November 2009, p. 2B.). Then, on November 12, 2009, the Detroit Free Press published a report from the Pew Center that hinted that the state would be 'one of the nation's 10 poorest states for the foreseeable future...." (Christoff, Chris. "We'll be among the poorest states for years, study says." Detroit Free Press, 12 November 2009, p. 1A.). I note that, in the second article, little of the Pew Reporter was passed along--in fact, almost nothing was passed along as far as facts, and no reasons were given, and, in the first article, it was not note why the jobless rate went down to 15.1 percent in October 2009 (maybe, job seekers left the state, or job seekers gave up their search).
Fact Eighteen: On Friday, January 29, 2010, the U.S. Department of Labor released unemployment data (or underemployment rate), and it was reported that full unemployment figure for Michigan in relation to 2009 (at least the end of 2009) was 21.5 percent (Rugaber, Christopher S. "Underemployment at 21.5% for Michigan in '09." Detroit Free Press, 30 January 2010, p. 9A.).
Fact Nineteen: At the end of 2008, when U.S. President George W. Bush's term as the U.S. President was about finished, the national debt was 454.8-billion dollars, and about a lot of that had come out of policies to stall the economic crash of 2008. At the end of 2009, when U.S. Presdient Barack Obama had been in office for about one year, the federal deficit had been increased to 1,420-billion dollars. In essence, in one year, the national debt had been increased by about 3.14 percent. On Monday, February 1, 2010, Barack Obama put forth to the U.S. Congress a proposed budget for 2011, and the budget was rated at about 3,800-billion dollars, and since the bill was required to project budgets out ten years, it became public knowledge that the bill would increase the debt by about 1,000-billion a year for the next ten years. Barack Obama is killing the country--purposely--and that includes the depressed Detroit.
Fact Twenty: It was announced on Wednesday, May 19, 2010, that the general jobless rate in Michigan was about 14 percent (Gallagher, John. "JOBLESS RATE DIPS." Detroit Free Press, 20 May 2010, p. 1B.).
Fact Twenty-one: On Friday, May 21, 2010, the Detroit Free Press published an article entitled "Scores on test trigger plan to change what DPS teaches," in which it was noted that, in the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress test (or the NAEP test), "73% of Detroit Public Schools fourth-graders and 60% of eighth-graders read below a basic level, posting the worst scores of students in 18 large cities and the worst scores ever on a national exam." (Dawsey, Chastity Pratt, and Lori Higgins. "Scores on test trigger plan to change what DPS teaches." Detroit Free Press, 21 May 2010, p. 4A.)
Consider these two main rules about life that you should know about, and they are what I know about. Since the 1950s, I have watched how the cities in the Detroit area have changed, and since 1976, I have in some way been involved in promoting tourism in Michigan (for example, for twenty-seven years, I did that as a writer/broadcaster associated with the Automobile Club of Michigan or AAA Michigan), and I have learned, such as by going to historic town sites or villages in Michigan and talking about places in Michigan, how it takes decades for a city or town to grow and build, and I know the way a city or town grows is when business is able to thrive, which attracts people, who then do things, which attract more people, and, yet, it does take decades for a city to grow, especially to the size of Detroit, because, for one, buildings can take months and months to make, and it takes time to make roads, and children have to be born and grow up. Over the years, I have learned through experience that it can take only a few years or a few decades for city or town to fall in ruin, and a big reason for a city or town to fall is the way politicians do their work to hurt the private section economy through what legislation they enact or through the corrupt use of tax funds and the process of over-spending, and, certainly, by allowing corruption and crime to grow is one way to kill a city (by the way, since the 1970s, other cities in Michigan that have had defective management--headed be Democrats--like that of Detroit are Benton Harbor, Ecorse, Flint, Highland Park, and Pontiac, and they have either been put in receivership under the state or have had managers appointed by the state to manage their fiscal operations).
Consider two many laws about government. Government does not create jobs really, except for government jobs, which are not involved in making product, such as from telephones to dolls and from baseball cards or dresses; it is individuals who create jobs of all types within a state or country, unless government hinders the creation of jobs through burdensome taxes and regulations and other ways, and the jobs are created because many, many people--minds--are working are independently to live, grow and build families, do things, et cetera, and the inspiration within the minds leads to the creation of jobs (for instance, one person can create something new, and that can give that person a job, and that person then can build a business focusing on that new something and that can lead to the creation of jobs for others). Government can kill jobs by taxing people so much that they do not have enough money to buy products or use services--when people buy products businesses can exist or grow or be developed--and government can kill jobs by taxing businesses so much that the businesses cannot survive or grow, and government can kill jobs by making the environment poor for businesses, such as by not controlling crime and keeping streets and streetlights in proper order, which are the basic responsibilities of a government entity in the United States of America (as demanded by the citizens).
Here is an aside that shows Democrats in Michigan are going to undercut anything good that might be started in Detroit. The Detroit Free Press noted on Tuesday, October 12, 2009, in a story entitled "Balancing budget with a special doctor tax" (Christoff, Chris. "Balancing budget with a special doctor tax." Detroit Free Press, 13 October 2009, p. 1A.) that Michigan House Democrats were instrumental in creating a bill that would put a new tax on doctors--only doctors--who already pay, for example, individual income taxes and state business taxes, like many types of business people. There are garbage people in the Michigan Legislature--people who are working to make "doctors" appear to be the enemy of the regular guy and gal (or, maybe, the little people") and to make "doctors" pay and pay big.
When people came to the country in the first century of the country, the people had little and they had to build things--towns and cities and families--and, in the next century, more people came to the country and more people were born, and during these times, some towns and cities died, such as when a gold-rush boom disappeared or when a railroad was never built nearby, and since the 1960s, there has been growth in the country, but there was been a big push by socialists and communists and black radicals to acquire power in some major cities or inner parts of major cities, such as Detroit, and the ideas of socialism, communism, and such led to making people slaves to handouts and the like. Today, Detroit is a Dead City--there is a history of corruption and mismanagement--in the city proper and in the school system, and it yet exists today, and the city is in deep debt, and the city is losing jobs and population, and the educational quality of the population is poor, and many of the standing houses are in poor shape. For the future, it looks as if things are going to get worse, and one reason for that is Barack Obama is going to undercut any effort to make Detroit good again by taxing the country too much, by taking over businesses and financial institutions, by ruining the "dollar" by spending too much, and by enacting inane federal acts, and because Detroit is in poor shape, people who not see it as a place to which they should go to build families and businesses--from car dealerships to grocery stores, from hair salons to body shops, and from this to that.
A number of goals have to be achieved for Detroit to get better. To build up Detroit, the political ideologies of many people in Detroit will have to change--they will have to adopt something other than socialism, communism, and black radicalism, and the best choice will be conservatism. Detroit will have to make the creation of walking dead a thing of the past, and it will take at least two generations to bring up the educational standards and make the average smartness level higher. Detroit will have to have new houses and buildings constructed and have water systems reconstructed. Detroit will have to show improvement in the environment to attract people who will grow families and businesses. Detroit will have to beat down crime and be willing to make crime a limited activity. Detroit will have to adopt the idea that citizens' owning properly is good and continually improving property is good.
I state that it will take several decades to make Detroit good again, if the thoughts of the previous paragraph are followed, and I state that the people who begin the process now will be like the pioneers of decades past who laid the groundwork for the following generations but did not have everything that the following generations would have, or, in other words, I say that those who take up the choice to build Detroit have to realize the work to build Detroit will be like the work done by people of decades past who started up cities and towns, and it will take decades to build Detroit into a good city again, and like the pioneers of decades past, some will fail and some will succeed and the goal will not be achieve in a year or a couple years.
And, so, on Tuesday, October 6, 2009, and Wednesday, October 7, 2009, residents of Detroit gathered at Cobo Hall, Detroit, to sign up to receive money for housing, and the money was federal "stimulus" money, and at one point during the event, a reporter of WJR-AM, Detroit, named Ken Rogulski interviewed a woman, and here is a part of the interview in text form:
Ken Rogulski: "Did you get an application to fill out, yet?"
The woman: "I sure did! And filled it out. And I am waiting to see what the results are gonna be."
Ken Rogulski: "Did you know today how much money you're getting?"
The woman: "No, I won't. But I'm waiting for a phone call.."
Ken Rogulski: "Where's the money coming from?"
The woman: "I believe it's coming from the, hum, City of Detroit or the state."
Ken Rogulski: "Where did they get it from?"
The woman: "Some funds that was, ah, given by Obama."
Ken Rogulski: "And where did Obama get the funds?"
The woman: "Obama get the funds from. I have no idea to tell you the truth! He's the President."
Ken Rogulski: "In downtown Detroit, Ken Rogulski, WJR News."
This conversation I was able to hear on The Rush Limbaugh Program on October 7, 2009, in the second hour, and the conversation shows how ignorant the woman is and shows how the woman simply seems to think the government is going to give her money and how the woman thinks the government is going to take care of her.
Let see some facts: On Thursday, the Detroit Free Press reported that about 35,000 persons showed up at Cobo Hall on Wednesday, October 7, 2009, to get money fr utility bills and mortage-loan bills, which would come for about $15.-million in "stimulus" money from the federal government, and the Detroit Free Press stated that Detroit officials said that about 65,000 persons showed up at Cobo for the past few days (Battaglia, Tammy Stables, and Matt Helms. "Pushing for help: Crushing crowds at Cobo Desperate for aid." Detroit Free Press, 8 October 2009, p. 1A.).
[On page 14A of the Detroit Free Press for October 8, 2009, "Pushing for help: Crushing crowds at Cobo desperate for aid" was at the title of an article, and there was a photograph under the title (Battaglia, Tammy Stables, and Matt Helms. "Pushing for help: Crushing crowds at Cobo Desperate for aid." Detroit Free Press, 8 October 2009, p. 14A.). The article associated with the photograph and the headline did not tell the story of how the "desperation" came about. It started when the Coleman A. Young began to put in place his destructive policies of the 1970s, which scared away "whites," businesses, and blacks who wanted a civil society and his push for at least socialism for the people of Detroit, many of who today can be described as "slaves" (of the government) in a what I call a "slave city," and the "desperation" was not created by the recent troubles of the automobile industry, most of which were caused by government, especially the federal government and its policies pushed through--mostly--by Democrats, such as U.S. Representative John Conyers (a Democrat associated with Detroit), and one policy is that of companies' not being able to freely drill for oil in the U.S. and process that oil in this country. So many elected officials in Detroit government and Michigan government over the years have hurt Detroit, and some of those (all of whom call themselves "Democrats," though they could really be called communists, black radicals, socialists, or Marxists) are U.S. Senator John Dingell, Michigan, U.S. Senator Carl Levin, U.S. Representative Sander Levin, Governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm (who comes from Canada), Monica Conyers, Kwame Kilpatrick, Ken Cockrel Sr., Ken Cockrel Jr., and Coleman Young Jr. (a State Representative associated with Detroit). Recently, people in Detroit have been talking about turning vacant land into farm land or farms, maybe "community" farms like those in communist countries, and if that happens, then I look at it as Detroit will have plantations with slaves, and since Detroit is a "black" city, the enslavers will be blacks, and their slaves with be blacks. I point out that, around the 1700s on the African continent, it was sometimes black tribes that captured and enslaved other blacks and sold those other blacks as slaves for the plantations in the southern regions of the North American continent.]
I must add that on Thursday, October 8, 2009, Rush Limbaugh played on his nationally syndicated radio show (The Rush Limbaugh Program) in the first hour another piece of audio made by Ken Rogulski of WJR-AM, and the piece of audio had Ken Rogulski talking with two women who were at the Cobo Hall event, and I now present text of the report (however, one woman's statement are not presented because she was talking in the background and mostly what she did was say "Obama" several times at the end of the piece):
Ken Rogulski: "Why are you here?"
Woman No. 1: "To get the money!"
Ken Rogulski: "What kind of money?"
Woman No. 1: "Obama money."
Ken Rogulski: "Where's it comin' from?"
Woman No. 1: "Obama."
Ken Rogulski: "And where did Obama get it?"
Woman No. 1: "I don't know. His stash. I don't know. I don't know where he got it from. But he given it to us to help us. We love him...."On Saturday, December 26, 2009, the Detroit Free Press published a story entitled "Activist sows seeds for farm co-op," in which the newspaper made a big deal of a visit that had been made by "New York City activist Majora Carter" recently. Majora Carter was and is promoting co-op farming for Detroit, and some people in Detroit seem to be listening to the idea, believing the idea will bring prosperity to the city. Worker-owned cooperatives have failed or are failing in socialistic or communistic countries, such as the Soviet Union, and worker cooperatives have even failed on the North American continent, such as with the pilgrims (the latter case of failure is shown, for instance, in Rush Limbaugh's story entitled "The Real Story of Thanksgiving," which is available on the Internet and which Rush Limbaugh has told on radio a number of times, a main theme of which notes how the leader of the Pilgrims, William Bradford, got his little settlement off of a collective-like system or commune-like system of agriculture and onto a capitalistic-like system in the 1620s, when the former system had been shown to be counter productive). In essence, Majora Carter and others are promoting more failure for Detroit, are promoting more socialism and communism for Detroit, and even promoting slavery for Detroiters (making Detroiters like a collection of migrant-type workers--unskilled laborers).
Here is an aside. In the early 1970s, while attending Wayne State University (Detroit), which was and is near the Fisher Building (where WJR-AM was and is), from time to time, I travel on city buses to get from Wayne State University to downtown Detroit and on buses to get from downtown Detroit to Inkster (a western suburb of Detroit), and, today, I would never travel on a bus or on a mass transit system, which does not exist and which people are working to create (which will be a dead issue and a waste of money). In late 2009, I worked on a house of a friend who lived three blocks north of the Fisher Building a number of times (as a favor), and it was incredible to me how much nothing there was in the blocks that are around the Fisher Building, and I would say that fifty percent of the houses that were still standing need major work, and, of course, there were a lot of vacant spots. Such a change Detroit has gone through in my eyes since the early 1970s.
I know what Detroit looks like, unlike most people in Michigan and around the country, who only know what the world looks like where they live, maybe a small town some three-hundred miles away from downtown Detroit!
The causes that have led Detroit into becoming what it is today are linked to a certain type of people--the enslaver--and Barack Obama is a same type of person as those who led Detroit into becoming what it is today, and Detroit is not the only place where enslavers like Barack Obama have been working to destroy things since the 1960s (by the way, Barack Obama helped destroy parts of Chicago and people in Chicago as a "community organizer," and that is why you have seen no television programs that show how great the areas of Chicago are that were helped by Barack Obama--there is not good to report on).
Consider this fact of life. Around Friday, October 9, 2009, people were hearing reports on radio stations, such as WTCM-AM, Traverse City, Michigan, that George Cushingberry (a Democrat and State Representative related to Detroit) wanted to put a new tax on doctors, and, for instance, at about 3:05 p.m., on Friday, October 9, 2009, WTCM-AM played a report from the "Michigan News Network" (which is a radio news news for radio stations in Michigan), which featured a reporter named Tim Skubik, and the report had a statement made by George Cushingberry, who was clearly angry: "We got to end some of this selfishness. And listen--Don't call my office if you not from my district. I ain't takin' your call! I don't have to! And you can't theaten me!..." The statement was made in response to doctors who had brought up companies about the proposed tax being pushed by George Cushingberry in the Michigan House, and the proposed tax shows the nonsense of another Detroit politcian--a man who will help keep Detroiters in slavery and, certainly, a man in league with Barack Obama, who was pushing a deadly health-care system on the country around this time. [The "selfishness" in George Cushingberry's mind relates to all the money that doctors make or all the money that George Cushingberry thinks doctor make, and notice how George Cushingberry thinks doctors should end their "selfishness" and give back to the people or not earn so much, and that is what the "socialist" pushes for--make people who work hard, such as by studying and reading for hours and hours and hours, unlike the lazy, get little as a reward in life.]
Let me point out a troubling thought. Detroit Free Press presented a page of information on Sunday, January 31, 2010, on the wife of the current mayor of Detroit (Dave Bing), and the woman was Yvette Bing, and at the bottom of the page was a section called "Fast facts on Yvette Bing," and it presented two quotations from Yvette Bing, and they were about Michelle Obama and Barack Obama--"She's a great role model for women in general and especially African-American women. I love that they look like they really love each other" and "They show that passion for one another, and that's good to see." Michelle Obama is hard-left wife of a hard-left politician, who are raising two hard-left children, if not communist children, and I say that Michelle Obama, who has not like this country and probably still does not, as Barack Obama does not, is not a good role model for any woman in this country, and since Yvette Bing believes that Michelle Obama is a good role model, that does not bode well for Detroit.
On Wednesday, February 24, 2010, Frank Beckmann interviewed Dave Bing, the Mayor of Detroit, during the nine o'clock hour in the morning on The Frank Beckmann Show of WJR-AM, 760, Detroit, Michigan. During the interview, Dave Bing brought up the subject that there are plans to help Detroit by moving people from bad areas of Detroit to good areas (whatever "good" means), and, in essence, it will be a program in which people will be forced from their homes and set up in others. Really, the idea that is being talked about is a part of a two-part plan, the first part of which will deal with private homes and the second of which will deal with other types of buildings.
Let me remind you of history. Back around the 1600s and 1700s, the place where Detroit was developed was a gathering point for voyageurs and Indians and settlers since it was a good place for a fort to exist and for soldiers to be based to protect traders, such as those who dealt in beaver skins. Detroit developed into a shipping port over the decades and decades to come, and other businesses were started and built up, and some businesses would came and go, such as when founders or operators died or retired. Detroit became a center for car production in the early 1900s, and more people came to the city and the nearby cities to do things.
The reason Detroit grew up to be a big city is people were attracted by business opportunities in Detroit and the Detroit area, and, now, Dave Bing thinks that Detroit will be improved and made anew by moving people out of bad areas of Detroit and destroying and leveling vacant bad areas, which can then be developed into something. (By the way, in the summer of 2009, I was in Pella, Iowa, and learned about a company that makes big machines that I call "house eaters," which are designed to destroy houses or grind up houses or take down houses.)
Consider well these thoughts There is no motivating reason being created to bring people to Detroit--for example, a lot of people are not being allowed to use their imaginations and resources to attempt to create businesses and jobs, since taxes are high, illiteracy is high, et cetera. Government--a single body of a few people--cannot inspire people to do things and build a city of varied interests and businesses, but government can, through force, put some people to work, such as as people who are employed to tear down buildings. What is the reason for people to come to Detroit, to come from other places in the country, as happened in the early 1900s, when people came from southern states to become employees of the automobile factories? (You should see my documents entitled Michigan Travel Tips #67 and Michigan Travel Tips #68, in which I talk about information that I found in an old wardrobe trunk in an attic of a house in Detroit in 2009, which focused on a man--Don Weber--who came to Detroit from Chicago and lived in Detroit in the 1920s, and two here are links to the two documents: Travel #67 and Travel #68.)
After Frank Beckmann and Dave Bing finished the interview, Frank Beckmann took telephone calls from listeners, and, of course, the subject came up that the city government is going to use laws and forget laws (such as parts of The U.S. Constitution) to shift people around in Detroit and get people sort of more grouped together or better organized into groups in the city, like cattle, which can be serviced better, and while people talked, I thought how the plans are going to be a failure on a mass scale for many reasons, such as because some people being displaced from their homes will leave Detroit and Michigan, where the economic climate, being hindered by the policies of socialists and people worse than socialists based in Detroit and Michigan, is defective, and that will lead to a drop in the number of residents and a drop in tax revenue, and no real industry will be created through trial and error and the gamble to succeed because more people who are willing to try things will leave Detroit, and Barack Obama--a truly defective man--exists as the U.S. President, and Barack Obama will block businesses from growing in Detroit through federal-goverment policies, especially tax polices and cap-and-trade rules (I state that Barack Obama hates morally sound and ethically sound black business people, too, hating anyone who could be deemed as more powerful than he is or having more than he has, and it must be remembered federal-government policies affect the businesses run by blacks, the businesses run by whites, the businesses run by Asians, the businesses run by wherever they are, and no one is exempt from the troubles caused by the ill mind of a communist or Marxist or like person, who is beholden to ideology, no matter how defective, and not logic and useful knowledge about life and the lives of others).I now show evidence that Barack Obama is purposely working to hurt the country, which includes the economically depressed Detroit. On Monday, February 1, 2010, U.S. Representative James Clyburn (a Democrat related to South Carolina) was on Happening Now (a weekday program on the Fox News Channel), and one thing that James Clyburn, who then headed up the Congressional Black Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, said was: "...We got to make some decisions here as to what's in the best interest of the country goin' forward. And I think the best interest is to invest in education, control these deficits, but at the same time try to get people back to work. We are not going save our way, eh, out of this recession, we've got to spend our way out this recession. And I think most economists know that...." James Clyburn is preaching crap and nonsense, which, if it rests in the minds of Detroiters, will help keep Detroiters the slaves of such defective people as James Clyburn and U.S. Representative John Conyers (a Democrat associated with Michigan). A federal government's spending money--which is money that is taken out of the private sector (individuals and individuals who run businesses)--cannot end a recession as was shown during the time of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s and very early 1940s and as was publicly announced by Henry Morgenthau, Jr. (who was the U.S. Treasury Secretary for U.S. President Franklin): "...We've tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work...." (You are urged to see my document entitled T.H.A.T. #59, which can be reached by using this link: T.H.A.T. #59). What James Clyburn has in mind or in his mind does not bode well for Detroit--it is evil ignorance.
There is a difference between fantasy and reality. On Sunday, April 4, 2010, the front page of the Detroit Free Press (or Sunday Free Press), which is published in Detroit, Michigan, had an editorial called "2010 VISION: What Detroit could be in 10 years" ("2010 VISION: What Detroit could be in 10 years." Sunday Free Press, 4 April 2010, p. 1A.), and here are the opening lines of the editorial: "For all its troubles today, Detroit is also a place brimming with hope for tomorrow. When you assemble all the proposals, plans and dreams that have been advanced in recent months, the city of 2020 looks dramatically different than it looks today: smaller, smarter, greener, more mobile, with more job opporunities--and once again the pounding heart of a metropolitan region. You see thousands of kids attending schools that work for them. You see people using light rail and boarding buses in a transit system that serves them. You see a gleaming, growing medical complex; banners being hoisted to the rafters of a new sports arena; and people tending little farms that nourish their neighborhoods in more ways than one. You see convention-goers strolling a crowded RiverWalk and bicyclists coasting the downhills of a new trail network." The quoted material comes from the minds of dreamers hoping for a fantasy world or a "utopia." It is nonsense thought and shows Detroit is going to be a mess for decades. People in Detroit think that the creation of a light-rail system (a mass-transit system) along Woodward Avenue will lead to the rebirth of Detroit, but creating a light-rail system does not inspire people to create things or jobs--people create jobs and things, which, if a city grows, can then lead to a need for a light-rail system (you should see my document entitled T.H.A.T. #71, which talks about a light-rail system for Detroit and a television document entitled Blueprint America: Beyond the Motor City, which covers the light-rail topic in more detail and which can be reached by using this link: T.H.A.T. #71). Manmade climate change has been shown to be a hoax, yet Barack Obama is pushing for cap-and-trade rules and laws, which will stifle the development of businesses, even in Detroit, which is starving for businesses. What is a "green job"? If everyone in the country were trying to start up green-jobs industries, a lot of people are gong to fail, because you cannot have only "green jobs" and have a country or a city survive or grow. Right now, about fifty percent of the population of Detroit is illiterate, and it will take decades to fix the problem, since there will have to be several generations of turnover to bring up the average intelligence level of the city. In April 2010, the national general unemployment rate was 9.7 percent and the national U6 unemployment rate was 20.3, and, certainly, Detroit was one of the worse places in the country in which a person who was looking or work could find work. Government does not create jobs; individuals with drive and monetary resources create jobs by creating businesses that offer products or services for purchase or make products. Barack Obama is going to be the U.S. President till at least January 20, 2013, and on April 2, 2010, Barack Obama showed more of himself--a person who hates all businesses--through a statement that he made, and the statement was: "...No company is going to make investments for the public good...." (see the entry of April 2, 2010, in my document entitled Nonsense Statements and Quotations of Barack Obama, which can be reached by using the link at the end of this document). Yes, in my mind, I can see a young woman who wants to start a perfume shop in Detroit, and her business may lead to the hiring of two employees--two gals who live in Detroit. Forget that dream! In Barack Obama's mind, the young woman would not be doing anything for the "public good." (By the way, to the Marxist, like Barack Obama, the "public good" is what a government official says it is) I state, informally, "Barack Obama is going to pull the rug out from all business people who want to do things in Detroit, even petite black gals who want to create perfume shops, and one way he will do that is through more taxes." Marxists care nothing about race. Marxists are enslavers. (Remember: Mao of China was a Marxist, particularly a communist, and Chinese, and Mao enslaved and killed millions of Chinese in the mid-1900s.) Oh, companies donate to charities, and companies lead to the creation of houses, buildings, roads, et cetera, and that, despite what Barack Obama says, is for the public good. Political ideology leads to more political ideology--a depressing fantasy world when it is Marxism. The government people in Detroit think they are going to create a utopia in ten years, though work by types like them over the last forty years has led to the death of a city, and even if almost all those who are promoting ideas for Detroit now are promoting non-socialistic ideas and are promoting capitalistic and for-the-individual ideas, they are going to be blocked for at least three years by Barack Obama and Barack Obama's ideas. It takes decades to build a city, and ten years is not enough time to fix Detroit (given the next three years will be a dead issue under the defective pressures of Barack Obama). Welcome to the real world.
Some people who are black are probably unaware that other blacks really do enjoy enslaving other blacks in this day and age (Remember: During the slave years of the 1700s or so, blacks in Africa enslaved other blacks and sold those other blacks into slavery (for the North American continent), and in the mid-1900s, Mao--a communist--was the leader of China, was Chinese, and enslaved and killed millions of other Chinese). On April 6, 2010, Gerry Hudson, a black man, was the Executive Vice President of the Service Employees International Union (or the SEIU), which was then headed by a Marxist/communist, Andy Stern. And on April 6, 2010, Gerry Hudson made two interesting comments, which I was able to hear for the first time as audio clips on The Mark Levin Show (a nationally syndicated radio show) on April 12, 2010 (Mark R. Levin had gotten the clips from Naked Emperor News).
Here was much of one statement that I heard: "...I've, I've organized huge numbers of conversations among workers about immigration, comprehensive immigration, and there is significant worker opposition to comprehensive-immigration reform, and, appallingly, among African-Americans, ah, people have gone overtime to try to organize a, a battle royal--right?--for the country between African-Americans and Latinos on this whole issue, so I, I got a feeling it's got some legs. What's interesting to me is it doesn't take a whole lot to argue...African-American workers to another place. It doesn't take a whole lot! You understand?...." (Notice Gerry Hudson's use of "workers." Marxists often talk about "workers." To Marxists, "workers" are low class people and are to be used and controlled. And notice how Gerry Hudson feels it does not take much work to convince blacks to take up an issue that they might otherwise oppose.)
Here was some of the other statement that I heard: "...On white workers, I think we got some real problems. I've spent a lot of time in Wisconsin and places like that where I have heard some of the most anti-immigrant sentiment around. It's also...this is where you get the black workers first...."
The audio clips sounded as if Gerry Hudson was in a cave, though it was that it was in a big room and he was poorly miced, so some of his words were difficult for me to hear, which is why the entire clips as I heard them are not presented in text form to you, but you can understand through what I have presented that Gerry Hudson thinks that, generally speaking, blacks are stupid as a group and can be controlled easily and whites are smarter than blacks are and are harder than blacks to organize.
Remember: Barack Obama has a very, very close relationship with the management of the SEIU, but that is to be expected since Barack Obama is a Marxist/communist, and if you do not think Barack Obama thinks as Gerry Hudson thinks, you had better think again."Social justice"--this term is used by communists and like people, who are people who like to enslave other people and like be rulers (as a career), to justify their actions of taking money from some people and giving it to others, the latter of whom are used as sheep in rulers' plans to attain, usually, political power or clout and prestige of some type. Detroit is made up of some people who are pushing for "social justice" in this country, which can also be thought a "social change." From June 22, 2010, through Friday, June 25, 2010, Detroit was the location for the "US Social Forum," which. in essence, was a gathering of socialists and such, such as in what was called a Tent City," and it was in Rochelle Riley's article entitled "Revolutionaries on the Way" in the Detroit Free Press for June 20, 2010, that there was this quotation of Adele Nieves': "...The forum grew out of the 10-year-old World Social Forum, which was a cry against 'the world's elite--a small amount of people, entrepreneurs and government officials--making decisions for the majority of people." The concept pushed forth by Adele Nieves in the quotation is nonsense, since that is not the way the United States of America works, but the concept does define the communist countries, in which a few persons--often headed by a tyrant or a dictator of some sort--do make decisions for all the rest, from where people will live to what they will be and what jobs they will have. What the gathering of people for "US Social Forum" was was a gathering of lambs and idiots and defectives hoping for--knowingly or unknowingly--communism, and, certainly, a few of the attendees were really there to gain power over others for themselves and to not really do anything for Detroit and Detroiters since communists--especially the leaders--really do not care about the people, and this whole idea of promoting the event, such as by members of the Detroit Free Press and Rochelle Riley, shows that Detroit is being guided by bad people and bad thinkers, who promise the world and give the world nothing, and such people will put a drag on the efforts of good people to make Detroit better because such people are so busy trying to make everybody--supposedly--socially equal that they are not doing anything that makes individuals better or really allows individuals to make themselves better. And I add a little proof of what went on at the event by showing a portion of a speech that was made by a community activist known as Elena Herrada (who is associated with Fronteras Nortenas): "...When we go in to a restaurant with border patrol sitting there, would you sit next to the Ku Klux Klan if they were sittin' in a restaurant with a hood on, over their heads? Thank you. Then say that when you see them...." and "...They're not like the police, who will sometimes answer a call in, in, you know, you know, the police, you know, kind of regulars. They're not all head bustin'. They're not all lookin' for trouble with everybody. They, there's, there's a place for the police in the community really. But there is no place for border patrol. They have no good intentions. They have no good intentions. So when you see them, refuse to sit with them, refuse to eat with them, pretend like, you know, they are menace that they are, and pretty soon everybody will catch on to it, and they won't feel so **bleep** comfortable to terrorize our community...." (By the way, on Friday, June 25, 2010, the Detroit Free Press published a story that noted that, at the moment, it looked as if seventy-seven city-maintained parks in Detroit would be or would have to be closed in Detroit in July because of lack of money (Hackney, Suzette, and Naomi T. Patton. "Detroit to close 77 parks in July." Detroit Free Press, 25 June 2010, p. 8A.).)
Let me take up the topic of some of the people who claim to represent "blacks" in the United States of America, and here I specifically talk about Dr. Boyce Watkins on and Al Sharpton. These two persons are the type that keep blacks in Detroit ignorant by pushing ignorant thought, and because the two men work to keep blacks in Detroit and other places ignorant, they are enslavers. On April 13, 2010, one of the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court was Clarence Thomas, and, on this day, Al Sharpton had a radio show, and, on this day, Al Sharpton had a man named Dr. Boyce Watkins as a guest, and Al Sharpton and Dr. Boyce Watkins ended up at one point talking about Clarence Thomas, and here is some of what they said:
Dr. Boyce Watkins: "...In my opinion, there is not a black man on Supreme Court, but, you know, hey, I'm going to get a lot of flack for saying that, but...." Dr. Boyce Watkins and Al Sharpton talked at the same time. "We need a black person on the Supreme Court. Why not a black woman?"
Al Sharpton: "Lot of us would like to see, ah, ah, a black [this "black" sounded like "flash" to me, which made no sense, so I believe "black" was the word], but a lot would also are reminded that we got a black from George Bush Senior named Clarence Thomas, and a lot of us would rather not have.... I'd rather have someone else who would vote--in my opinion--in line with upholding human rights, and civil rights, and, and women's rights, and prisoner rights than to have someone like Mr. Thomas or Justice Thomas who I think has consistently voted against all of that and has been one of the most inflexible members of the white-right voting block, ah, in terms of not only the court but in terms of his own, ah, public expression...." [Special note: I may have made an error in presenting the quotation of Al Sharpton, because Al Sharpton is a very sloppy speaker--he slurs words regularly--and what I present is the best that I could do.]
Some blacks look up to Al Sharpton and Dr. Boyce Watkins, both of whom are radical blacks; for example, Al Sharpton is a well-known race baiter. Clarence Thomas is a black man, who happens to be a conservative and a man who upholds the rules of The U.S. Constitution, which treats all men and women equally as individuals, and Clarence Thomas has shown that he treats all equally under the rules of The U.S. Constitution. Al Sharpton and Dr. Boyce Watkins showed through their words that they look at Clarence Thomas as a man who does not uphold their values of human rights and civil rights and women's rights and prisoner's rights, whatever those ideas are to Al Sharpton and Dr. Boyce Watkins, and they also tried to define Clarence Thomas as not a black man but as a "white man" of some type, and they hint through their words that they hate "whites," and Dr. Boyce Watkins clearly showed during the interview that he is a racist by saying, "...When we talk about Clarence Thomas, ah, you know, he's such an atrocious appointment for the black community...." [Dr. Boyce Watkins is concerned about the black community and only the black community it seems, and Dr. Boyce Watkins seems to believe "The Rules of Man," such as something that might be called a "human right," are different for white men than for black men, but I say that "The Rules of Man" apply equally to all men.]
Since Al Sharpton and Dr. Boyce Watkins have clout with Detroiters and promote defective ideas, they help hinder Detroit and Detroiters from getting better, and, yes, Al Sharpton is an associate of Barack Obama's, and since Barack Obama and Al Sharpton are associates, they must believe in many of the same ideas, and what Al Sharpton is shows what Barack Obama is, and not until many Detroiters abandon the nonsense thoughts of Al Sharpton and Barack Obama will Detroit become a city that is not a dead city.Barack Obama and his associates have control of the White House and the U.S. Congress (which is the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate), and Barack Obama controls the agencies of the Executive Branch of the federal government, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, and if history is any lesson, the United States of America is being sent toward a standard that is like Detroit, a "Dead City."
There are reasons why the United States of America is heading toward the Detroit standard, and it all has to do with purposeful intent. Barack Obama has an ill mind, as I show in a number of my documents that are available on the Internet, and, in fact, I say that Barack Obama is insane, since, for one, Barack Obama has purposely already shown he cares nothing about hurting millions of people and is working to create laws that will destroy the country, such as "cap-and-trade" laws (either by federal act or policies of the Environmental Protection Agency), "value-added taxes" policies (which will put a tax on every step or process of the production of anything made and distributed in the country), and any national-health-care laws (which, for example, will put doctors out of work or cause doctors to quit and lead to the deaths of people, especially elderly). And surrounding Barack Obama is a collection of deviants, ill minds, communists, socialists, Marxists, tax cheats, racists, and homosexuals (some of whom, for one, are pushing homosexual activity for young boys), and some of those defective people are Michelle Obama, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor (a racist), Tim Geithner (the head of the U.S. Department of Treasury, who is a tax cheat), Kevin Jennings (the "Safe-and-Drug-Free-School" czar, who pushes homosexuality), and David Axelrod (a senior advisor to Barack Obama), and it is clear these people are working to change the country into something highly different from what it was founded as.
Yes, black radicals, communists, socialists, and Marxists have killed Detroit, and Barack Obama is at least a "radical" (if not an Islamic radical), communist, and Marxist, and although Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama is an enemy of the people of the United States of America, and until you understand that fact of life and fight back, Barack Obama will be unchecked in his process to kill the United States of America and kill you!
Welcome to the war!
P.S.: I believe Barack Obama is going to betray the U.S. military, and I am watching for it.
