Will Detroit be a NWO start point for Martial Law A catalyst for the NWO, Detroit is ripe for Martial Law!! Were the Chrysler/Superbowl commercials of Detroit that Eminem and Clint Eastwood appeared in made solely because of the monies they received?? Detroit Goes Dark: Half of Detroit's Street Lights May Go Out To Save Money; Left to the Rats Cash strapped Detroit has lost 60 percent of its population since 1950. What's left is a sprawling mass of vacant, worthless homes stripped of copper and anything else worthwhile. As it is, 40 percent of the 88,000 streetlights are broken and the city, whose finances are to be overseen by an appointed board, can't afford to fix them. Mayor Dave Bing's plan would create an authority to borrow $160 million to upgrade and reduce the number of streetlights to 46,000. globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2012/05/detroit-goes-dark-half-of-detroits.html Street lights may go out in Detroit!! in.news.yahoo.com/video/detroitwxyz-20910802/street-lights-may-go-out-in-detroit-29463066.html Half of Detroit's Streetlights May Go Out as City Shrinks Detroit, whose 139 square miles contain 60 percent fewer residents than in 1950, will try to nudge them into a smaller living space by eliminating almost half its streetlights. Other U.S. cities have gone partially dark to save money, among them Colorado Springs; Santa Rosa, California; and Rockford, Illinois. Detroit's plan goes further: It would leave sparsely populated swaths unlit in a community of 713,000 that covers more area than Boston, Buffalo and San Francisco combined. www.businessweek.com/news/2012-05-24/half-of-detroit-s-streetlights-may-go-out-as-city-shrinks The lights go out in Detroit. "You have to identify those neighborhoods where you want to concentrate your population," said Chris Brown, Detroit's chief operating officer. "We're not going to light distressed areas like we light other areas." theinterrobang.com/2012/05/lights-go-detroit/ Bloomberg says: Half of Detroit's Streetlights May Go Out as City Shrinks www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-24/half-of-detroit-s-streetlights-may-go-out-as-city-shrinks.html A city without chain grocery stores National retailers are steering clear of Detroit, leaving independent grocers to serve the city's hard-hit residents. DETROIT (CNNMoney.com) -- Detroit is one of America's largest cities, but there isn't a single major grocery chain store within the city limits. Spurned by national retailers, Detroit's nearly 1 million residents instead rely on independent stores run by local entrepreneurs for their most basic needs. money.cnn.com/2009/07/22/smallbusiness/detroit_grocery_stores.smb/ Food for Thought: Addressing Detroit's Food Desert Myth Another commonly held belief is that there are no national grocery chains located in Detroit because the buying power of city residents is too weak to support them. But again, the data show otherwise. Detroit is home to two national chains, Spartan Stores and Save-a-Lot, as well as one international chain, the German-owned Aldi (which also owns Trader Joe's). True, there are no Meijers, Krogers, or Walmarts in Detroit, but Detroit is rich with both locally owned groceries and farmers' markets of the type that other cities fight tooth-and-nail to preserve.[6] Even Texas-based upmarket grocer Whole Foods recognizes that Detroit can support a national chain (albeit with $4.2 million in subsidies).[7] While Detroit may not be a major market for food corporations to add to their bottom lines just yet, Detroiters have many food options at their fingertips, both within the city limits and in neighboring suburbs. newsletter.datadrivendetroit.org/2011/09/08/food-for-thought-addressing-detroit%E2%80%99s-food-desert-myth/ 86-year-old carjacked in Detroit -- and no one stopped to help, he says www.freep.com/article/20120225/NEWS01/202250312/86-year-old-carjacked-in-Detroit-and-no-one-stopped-to-help-he-says CAUGHT ON TAPE: 86 year old Man carjacked and then ignored by passersby!! www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/detroit/caught-on-tape-man-carjacked-and-then-ignored-by-passersby Distance in miles from downtown area to downtown area as measured as a straight line on Google Earth.
