Relevance: THE FORECLOSER HAS NO RIGHT TO BE IN COURT WITHOUT THE SECURITIZATION DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS

 Courts and lawyers are continually ignoring the obvious. By zeroing in on the NOTE, they are ignoring the documents that allow the person in possession of the note to be in court.

Libor vs Mortgage Scandals: Amount of Money Appears to be the Only Difference

COME TO THE ANAHEIM 1/2 SEMINAR WEDNESDAY MORNING It appears as though LIBOR is being thrown under the bus as a distraction from the much larger mortgage securitization scam.

Fraud Alert: Color Copies being Used to Fabricate Alleged Originals

I have received a number of reports that “outsource providers” are servicing the foreclosers by creating color copies of documents and submitting them as originals.

TRUTH: Toxic Assets Held by Wall Street: $30 Billion, for everything else there's MasterCard

The reason why the figure is so low is exactly why we have been saying that the Wall Street pretenders have no right to foreclose. They never owned the mortgage backed securities because they sold them “forward.” That’s a fancy way of saying they sold the securities before they existed. They were a figment of …
