And it all happened in a single day.

It all happened in ONE day, and that day was yesterday, December 3rd 2013.
Firstly Federal Judge, Steven Rhodes,  ruled that the City of Detroit could file for bankruptcy protection from its creditors. The figure involves a staggering 10 billion dollars in unfunded pension obligations to thousands of city public workers. Other debts amount to a further 10 billion dollars or more.
Secondly, the global educational stats were published which rank American students 75th among the nations in math; 68th in science and 45th in physics. Need we add that the top places belonged to Chinese and Far Eastern students.
Thirdly, in a poll conducted nationwide, over 50% of the respondents believed "that they were witnessing the decline of America as a world power"

Let us then return our thoughts to the City of Detroit.
Before her bank accounts were empty Detroit's churches became empty. And as her churches became empty they were converted into mosques.
Now Detroit has the distinction of having almost as many Mosques as churches and of being the largest city in American history to file for bankruptcy.
Could it be that there is a connection between the two and, more alarming, could what is happening in Detroit be a harbinger of what is to come for the United States of America?

Jubilate.
