JUST IN:  Detroit Files for Bankruptcy, Largest Bankruptcy in Country’s History

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


This afternoon the city of Detroit filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection making it the largest bankruptcy in the history of the country at $18 to $20 billion. 

The bankruptcy filing came after the Motor City was unable to reach debt restructuring agreements with its investors and creditors.  A bankruptcy court must now decide if the city is eligible for bankruptcy protection and how much if anything its creditors will receive including city pension funds.  The Governor of Michigan Rick Snyder still has to sign off on the bankruptcy filing. 

The bankruptcy of the city of 700,000 residents is the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.  The city has a super-majority African-American population at 82.7% with 6.8% population of Latinos/Hispanics. 

This bankruptcy comes right as Moody’s Investors Services upgraded the U.S. credit rating from ‘negative’ to ‘stable’. 

It was just some 50-years ago that Detroit had the richest per capita of any U.S. city according to the U.S. Census Bureau, many blaming the situation on a mired of reasons from white flight to the troubled auto industry to loss of manufacturing jobs that never came back.  The population flight as jobs left has severely decreased the number of taxable properties.

The facts are stark for the city with 60% of all Detroit children living in poverty and over 30% of the city (140 square miles) vacant and decaying.

      Detroit is the test case America. the city is greatly abandoned – but you may not know that there is the largest population of muslims between Dearborn and Detroit.

      Enough welfare slackers that upon being cutoff from Go cheese they will revolt.

      Michigan has the 4th or 5th largest gun owner list in the country.

      keep watching. its getting interesting.

      Here comes The Rothschild City of London central bank with their check book. CHECKMATE TURKEYS!!! Bow to queen lizard and like it. They will buy the central manufacturing zone of the U.S. and revitalize it while congress mewls and prances for reelection money and favorable news coverage from them just like in the years leading up to this moment, for reasons now as apparent as the nose on queen lizard’s face.
