Editor’s Note: In this article you have the nub of the problem for the investors, for the foreclosers, for the pretender lenders. What did the taxpayer actually pay for and what did they get for it? And if the money all went to pay off credit default swaps at 100 cents on the dollar then […]

And probably people “of the cloth” from all denominations. We are a nation of faith. Jesus angrily drove the money lenders out of the temple. How can we stand by and allow the borrowers to be driven out of their homes? The fact is most of these victims were hunted down like a foxhunt, with […]

TENT CITY, California While Vacant Houses Deteriorate From watergatesummer.blogspot.com we have this post on the moronic ideology that misuses our natural and creative resources.

MANY THANKS TO DAN EDSTROM Dan has put together a list which frankly I would like him to expand. Following the money means determining the party to whom you MIGHT owe money. It certainly isn’t the pretender lender and if you can fill in the blanks on this list you will be able to show […]

Editor’s Note: OK if you exclude that small matter of a $182 billion dollar loss, they made a profit. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

Appraisal negligence and/or fraud is overlooked by many. Appraisers are usually licensed and insured. Filing a complaint with the licensing board as well as sending a demand letter to them to forward to their carrier could produce some substantial results. And remember that the originating “LENDER” supposedly has a committee or person verifying the appraisal […]
