If only more people had demanded answers on 911 before letting it be used to make a case for war.

Making Us All Sicker: Detroit Water Shut-Offs May Well Have Caused Irreparable Damage
Making Us All Sicker: Detroit Water Shut-Offs May Well Have Caused Irreparable Damage
Water stagnates in shut off pipes, bacteria grows, chemicals in the water change. Eventually these pathogens escape by working their way back upstream, poising the water system for everyone. This can even happen in pipes with slower moving water. Water usage slows because of individual metering and the attendant charges.
The idea of charging for water usage was supposed to be a temporary measure to be used during periods of drought, then rescinded once the emergency was over. But, local gov't's hungry for cash, keep water emergencies in place, so they can keep charging for water. Water is paid for from the gov't's general fund and should be always, to protect the water supply system from being contaminated by slow to no use areas. And it is, so, in reality you are paying for water use twice. Once in your taxes and again by metered use.
Why am I not surprised to see that the general public can't even hold their elected officials to their simplest, most ordinary promises? In NYC the media announced over and over again that the water metering program was only to be for the duration of the water emergency. Since then you've never heard another word about it, save an obscure article about how the water emergency has never been lifted. Oh well, no one seems to care..

Trump Outs Israel As Source Of Intel As Netanyahu Watches | Crooks and Liars
Trump Outs Israel As Source Of Intel As Netanyahu Watches | Crooks and Liars
That speech to the Arabs was sheer stupidity.
While the talk of
Islamic and Muslim fundamentalist/extremist plays well at home, try to
imagine yourself as a Arabian member of Islam, you hear that speech with
a different ear. Over and over again he's calling Muslims and
followers of Islam a source of terrorism, using 'extremists and
fundamentalists" to say "present company excluded",
I'll bet some of
them are thinking that they believe in fundamental Islam and some even
excuse some of Islams extreme views. But then, you can be a fundamental
Islamist and still not be a terrorist, so in reality his speech
doesn't work and only serves antagonize some very powerful people who
probably don't appreciate hearing those words being mixed and pushed at
them over and over again in a cyclical speech by a man with no foreign
relation credentials.
Worse yet, the growing public awareness of false
flag attacks being used to manipulate public opinion, and much of these
claims of Islamic terrorism is thrown into question, since they are
founded on very flimsy evidence, if any evidence exists at all in many
cases. But, they sat quietly and respectfully because this was the most
dangerous man on earth speaking.
Next it's off to Israel to
deregulate the U.S. Israeli alliance, hoo boy! Israel cannot be happy
with this bit of deregulation of the sacred intelligence protocols,
because it removes the protections they had relied upon. See how
deregulation works? Remove regulations that protect the public by
prohibiting bad practices and hope that the honor system works, what
could go wrong, eh?
Well, enjoy the rest of this trash dance!
