| Detroit Mayor Dave Bing says Michigan Governor Rick Snyder will announce a state takeover of the city of Detroit on Friday. Bing says the governor told him his decision during a phone conversation this morning. Bing was talking with reporters following a speech before the Detroit Regional Chamber at the MotorCity Casino. The city will have 10 days to appeal the decision to the governor. Governor Snyder said a week ago he would take a week or so to make his final decision on what he would do with the city of Detroit. At that time he said he would either appoint an emergency financial manager or enter into a new consent agreement with the city. Those remarks came after a financial review team found that a financial emergency existed in the city of Detroit. The review team also recommended to Snyder that he appoint an emergency financial manager to run the city. Detroit has been operating under a consent agreement with the state since last year. That consent agreement prevented the city from being taken over by an emergency manager, who would have been appointed under a state law that was in place at that time. Voters overturned that law in November 2012 and the state reverted to an older law that allowed for the appointment of an emergency financial manager. |

| #7 Middle East Muslim Govts + China are interested in buying up the City, which IMO does NOT forbode well for US sovereignty espec as per OWG + NAU 2015, Trans-Atlantic Union, Trans-Pacific Union, Great Lakes FTZ-EEZ + NE US FTZ-EEZ, etc. Again, SOCIALISM = NEW "SOVEREIGNTY" under OWG-NWO. The Govtcritters know the US will be giving up sovereign Power-N-AUthority to the OWG + NAU 2015, ETC. BUT THEY DON'T KNOW OR AREN'T SURE YET JUST HOW MUCH - BUT-T-T, DESPITE SUCH THEY'RE STILL GOING TO FORMALLY COMMIT THE US + MAINSTREAM AMERICA TO IT ANYWAY, HENCE THEIR SEEMINGLY DEVIL-MAY-CARE, MANIC OR OBSESSED DRIVE TO FORCIBLY IMPOSE SOCIALISM-GOVTISM + GOVT-LED INTERVENTIONISM AMAP ON AS MANY ASPECTS O9F AMER LIFE AMAL ASAP ALAP. And widout need of any National-State-Local vote on same. THE WORSE OR DEEPER THE CHAOS OR ANARCHY(S), THE BETTER FOR US SUBORNMENT UNDER OWG + NAU 2015, ETC. WHERE THE US IS JUST ONE NATION OR WORLD POWER AMONG MANY, + WHERE THE US MAY NOT EVEN BE A GLOBAL OR "SOLE" SUPERPOWER ANYMORE. |

| #5 Detroit is just ahead of it's time. The first of many progressive failures to come. After 50+ years of liberal destructive policies the people of Detroit will still elect in the next election the politicians with the plan to borrow and spend their way out to the hole. |

| #2 I think Bing has done about as well as it is possible to do as mayor of that lost cause called Detroit. The governor won't be able to do a whole lot better, though he does have a broader (though still weak) resource base to bring to bear. |
