While 40% of the shut off Residents of Detroit (a city in the United States of AMERICA) remain without water. Ironic, don't ya think...

To have Detroiters perspectives on this Water Crisis, in our opinion, really opens up this important discussion.

the problem wasn't caused by just Detroit and there's no way for it to be solved just by them.

The gentleman speaking in video 2 related how he and his family (?) just bought a foreclosed home in that area for $500. if I understand correctly. He said they spent about a week shoveling "human shit" out of the basement.

Since the house was vacant, the neighbors who were without water had been using that basement as a toilet area. He asked, "Where were they expected to shit?"

What the goddamned hell is going on in this country?

And the person upthread who asked about delivering water to "the mountain". Kind of ironic, isn't it?

I think some of those panel members were correct in that we all have to start using the word, "genocide". If Alex Jones used that word, a significant number of DUers would say he's crazy. But what do you think the PTB REALLY want to happen to the ordinary citizens of this country? Do they have to send us an engraved invitation???

I should have video three and four uploaded by Saturday late evening and will post them here.

The PTB IMHO really do not give a care how the rest of us, survive.

There is something special about water, ==> you need it.

It reminds me of a song by the Pretenders brass in pockets … leaning Detroit.

Check it out…nice song…
