I did some research and found out the cause of Detroit’s problems over the last half century. The cause may surprise you as much as it surprised me:

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
― Margaret Thatcher
Kidding aside, Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner has it right in this short summary:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-07-24/government-not-globalization-destroyed-detroit.html
For those who never heard him, Farrakhan is channeling Coleman Young – Detroit would be a great success story if it wasn’t for the racist white suburbanite people on the other side of 8 mile
When is the last time you heard criticism of West Africans for trading their local slaves with Europeans in exchange for rum made in the Americas from slave labor growing sugar cane?
1800s triangle: rum, slaves, sugar cane
2000s triangle: EBT, drugs, votes
Slavery in West Africa began with the arrival of Islam in 1076 AD. It would be 20 generations of slavery under Arab and Berber control before the first European trading ships headed down the coast of Africa.
Europeans didn’t introduce slavery in Africa. At that point in time, most Europeans were still peasant slaves, owned by their Lords in the feudal system. I really don’t understand why any American gushes over the British Royal family. That’s exactly why this country was founded and the Revolutionary War was fought.
Could it be that American mothers want their daughters to marry a prince? Everyone wants a free lunch. 😉
Part of it is the movie studio owned news channels.
You guys are spot-on. Go to Wikipedia, search “slavery” where the info is available regarding humanity’s long history of enslaving their brothers and sisters. And if you venture beyond the ‘accepted’ history taught in most mis-educational and irreligious institutions then you will learn that the Sumerians, Anunnaki and other creatures also enslaved humans.
“Europeans didn’t introduce slavery in Africa. ”
Dam Art, you could be run out on a rail with that kind of Blasphemy ! (even though its truth)
Havn’t seen any post from Foyle in a long time, wonder where he has been?

What is unique about the United States is we led the way in ending involuntary servitude. The Constitution deferred deciding on ending slavery – had they not, the Southern states would never have voted to end the Articles of Confederation. 3/5ths of what you want is better than nothing.
Importatation of slaves was outlawed in 1808. Only 6% of the African slave trade involved took slaves to what would become the United States. 38% was Portuguese to Brazil, 18% to British parts of central and south America and the Carribean, 17% to Spanish colonies, 13% to French areas like Louisiana and Haiti.
And it’s a sure thing that none of the slaves came from Kenya… There was no Suez canal, the interior of Africa were impenetrable and the West Coast of North America wasn’t yet settled by Europeans, beyond a few Spanish religious outposts. The Arabs controlled the East Africa slave trade and those slaves (mostly women) were sent to the Middle East and India
Facts are such stubborn things.
Don’t run Art out on a Spanish rail.
The irony here is Louis Farrakhan teaches potential converts that they should not embrace the religion of their slave masters – when that’s exactly what he is doing
🙂
I’m still around. I check in here and read all the thought provoking posts each day.
This blog is one of my favorite places on the web — a respite of common sense in a world gone mad.
LOL, They are sailing up that old river ‘denile’. Can’t face facts. Its like that old saying I picked up working a summer job back in the early eighties.
“If ‘ they’ can’t tear it up, they will cheit on it. A certain ‘big 7′ railroad company use to hire summer help back then.
I remember Art’s discussion from a while back on how the city has declined and hadn’t had a good mayor or city council since possibly the early 1960’s. That will do it.
Watch out Atlanta, Charlotte, Birmingham.
Just sayin’.
Parrott
Never mind the cities…The (used to be) Great State of California is still digging their hole. Common sense and fiscal realities be damned! I believe they will be next.
Or Philly, or Baltimore or Providence or just pick any liberal city….
You can’t indefinitely spend what you don’t have and can’t produce. Duh.
Well not exactly, not trying to pick a fight with anyone, but we should keep in mind that the Fed is a private corporation. IT (the Fed) can create any amount of fiat ‘money’ and loan that to whomever wants to borrow the fiat money. No legal restrictions exist to prevent IT from doing so, or at the very least no one is able to stop IT from doing anything IT wants to do. IT secretly loaned 16 trillion FRNotes to scores of other banks in 2008. Who knows what the balance sheet(s) really looks like?
The charade will go on as long as IT wants things to continue, and unless some greater power forces IT to stop, IT will continue to do as IT pleases.
Tip of the iceberg there, Nidster. The Fed drove up the price of all bonds (drove down the interest rates) so that banks with bad loans could make enough on their good ones to cover their losses. The people that suffer are the people that saved, especially retirees that depend on interest income.
Right you are….didn’t want to write a book cause that is well beyond necessary, and my abilities anyway. KISS is the mark I was trying to hit.
It’s gonna be a bad-time for common folks, real bad. Beyond the typical man’s imagination. REAL BAD once interest rates get high enough to do real damage and the loans are called-in. It’s called the Boom ‘n Bust Cycle and the Boom days are over.
Watch the videos on this page, especially the first one :

Excellent link!
If a person ever got to the bottom of all that has happened and why, they would find themselves trapped at the bottom of the Abyss with the perps.
There’s probably only one good way out this mess and I hope to find it and get out.
Thanks, Nidster. Did you catch this reader comment after the article? Comment:

working in structured products on the trading floor at one of the top three I-banks we scratched our heads days before 911 about the volume of derivatives products in insurance and airline titles. Sigma 10 events. That speaks for itself.
CC, Ratscam’s comments are part of the Plan. Read post further down by, All Risk No Reward. He posted this link, http://real-world-news.org/bk-quigley/07.html
And, the next few comments are interesting too. It is a big, Big, BIG Plan. “They” (those who are against us common folks) aspire to be our Masters, our gods if you will. Slavery has a long and ancient history.
Note to anyone who thinks this is conspiracy stuff: Yep! it is. For those who believe everything is going to turn out OK, or that there is nothing to learn here, then please disregard my post.
Can Detroit afford to have an art museum?
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130726/BIZ/307260060/DIA-gears-up-bankruptcy-fight-hopes-won-t-come
Maybe some new lightbulbs on the street lights should come first before taxing residents so the wealthy city government employees don’t have to pay the full cost for admission to museums?
How ever many hours the city leadership spent sitting on their seats trying to second guess the Zimmerman case (and presumably – although I did not research this – how many hours they worried about global warming, or nuclear proliferation in the 1980s) are hours spend where they could be installing new lightbulbs.
My guess is it isn’t light bulbs, but copper strippers ripping out the power lines
Wow. I thought the strippers were across the river, and the coppers took 58 minutes to respond.
Buy a house, get a green card – the Chinese are ready to buy Detroit
I had suggested that 20,000 Japanese immigrants would save Detroit (after the tsunami) as they would stick together and not be intimidated by guilt over slavery… But 500,000 Chinese would transform the city.

They are being duped. They can not vote and rent control will be on the way. Some places explicitly charge property taxes to home owners that can not vote, and give refunds to those that can – it is called “homestead exemption” in Florida- and designed to give the entire state more electoral votes and financial aid.
Maybe they plan to setup their own security force, just sayin’.
One of the gripes is Metro Detroit has a “commuter tax” – an income tax for people who work in the city but live in the suburbs, having no voice in the say of Detroit’s operations.
Another key thing to know – a long time ago, water and sewage were made regional with the city of Detroit owning the system. It extends very far – all the way to Flint – which is now trying to build a pipeline to Port Huron to break away from Detroit. At one time, Flint got its water from the Flint River, but decades of GM pollution made that unviable. Detroit and Port Huron get water from the Great Lakes.
