Do you remember when Detroit when bankrupt and resident Obama refused to intervene in order to help Americans in a beleaguered American city? This was both baffling and maddening to the American people. After all, this "hope and change" resident promised to fundamentally transform America. Little did we realize that the Detroit bankruptcy would open the floodgates to the total foreign control of American's most precious resource, namely water, where the UN has gained a significant foothold in Detroit and its influence is spreading across the country. When Obama refused to help Detroit's bankruptcy and its ensuing water crisis, subsequent UN involvement was a portend of what was coming.

If one controls water, one will control food. The United Nations, through The U.N. High Commission on Human Rights special rapporteur on safe water and sanitation, Catarina de Albuquerque, has asserted its authority under the guise of protecting human rights to assume control of an area which has severe water issues. Will Americans, one day, be forced to enter a camp to receive life-sustaining supplies?

Nero may have fiddled while Rome burned. And it could be said that Obama golfed while America burned.

I’m not sure what exactly the point would be in gaining control of water in a place that gets as much rainfall as the Midwest and Northeast. If the UN controls the water supply, just stand outside and look up at the sky with your mouth open for a while. LOL.
It’s a post war communist conspiracy to pollute our precious bodily fluids!
....”Foothold” the UN has in Detroit..”?
if the UN would pay the overdue water bills....that might give them some sort of foothold.....but thats quite unlikely... to put it mildly.
The republican party in Michigan should HAMMER this crisis daily!!!
“So what is this “Foothold” the UN has in Detroit? I see lots of complaining about water but beyond that they seem powerless to actually do anything.”
Every day the UN demonstrates their power to inspire absurd conspiracy theories.
What is David Hodges journalistic history?
What are the summation of his past blog entries/essays/articles/OpEd pices/L2E submissions?
Sounds like a tinfoiler to me...but that is just me.
Bottled water prices just doubled at Safeway. Wonder if other stores will raise the price?
People getting their water cut off due to delinquent bills is a good thing because the city is doing it to make the Water Dept a better and increasingly private investment.
As its privatized the service will become better and people won’t be allowed to run up bills of thousands of dollars. Its better for everyone to cut someone off for being 3 months behind than letting them get 3 years behind.
I cant imagine any supplier letting a bill go unpaid for One Year while still supplying goods or services..Three Years..is SURREAL.
There are more of us than there are of them and Americans are more independent. resourceful, ingenious and better fighters that the pisshole countries that provide “UN troops” and provide their generals
So go ahead and send Nepalese and Congolese soldiers over here to control American waters
A truly private company wouldn’t have allowed it to happen.
Elect local sheriffs that will protect you if you defy the UN/Fedgov.
It was Monty Python and the Holy Grail that had the scene where the knight levels a threat to “fart in your general direction” wasn’t it?
Thats pretty much all the UN can do here.
Looks like this gal complaining might do better eating less and pay her water bill!
what a gaggle of Iggnunt Yahoos THAT Is!!!
“turn on the water..Tax Wall Street” MAY be the most INANE...”protest” banner I have EVER SEEN
These urban cretin ferals are such a laugh. They don’t have a clue. All they want is everything free without any personal responsibility. I hope all LIBs are happy that they fostered such degenerate loser attitudes.
Actually, they ARE happy. Thy want dependents to ensure enough permanent votes to keep their power brokers in office. They are after control, and forcing everyone else to adopt their ideas... no matter how often and how badly those ideas fail, time and again.
