SERVICES YOU NEED

submitted by Jose Semidey

EDITOR’S NOTE: The readers of this blog will find themselves in agreement with most everything Jose says. The question is when will we say “enough!” There was nothing radical about restoring stolen property and money to their rightful owner  — until this mortgage mess. I would add that when people write to their newspapers they should pointedly question the editorial decisions and to conform to the real news on their front page. The fact that joblessness, underemployment, and homelessness are rising to third world levels should be the lead story every day until it stops. Instead we find most of these articles revealing bits and pieces of the submission of fraudulent documents in furtherance of fraudulent schemes buried in the newspaper where most people won’t even find it.

The portrayal of our plight as homeowners as a few radicals raising conspiracy theories is unjust, unreal and a surrender to the corporate interests that own and advertise in “mainstream” media. The shock being felt every day by an increasing number of people who discover that they are trapped beneath a mountain of debris that they were tricked into buying is the real story. The issue is whether and when the court system and the rest of government will be forced to make the perpetrators accountable and to fulfill the purpose of government — to govern and regulate an orderly society. There is nothing orderly or ordinary about the mass extinction of of the middle class in our society and nothing orderly about it either. The bedrock of our economy and our society is cracking under the pressure.

Most observers and government officials simply want to wait until the foreclosures are over and the market is cleaned out. Their premise is silly, based upon non-existent facts. Even if foreclosures were going to simply play themselves out, which is unlikely, the result will be a polarized society of a handful of have’s and a huge proportion that are have-not’s. Look in the history books and see if you can find ANY example where such a polar condition persisted. It isn’t there. Human beings will tolerate a lot of abuse and regard it as normal and in increasing doses — but only up to a point. The further we go down the path of “waiting” for something to end, the further we are from justice and stability in our society.

And history gives us one more lesson. The founding fathers knew and learned this lesson first hand when they wrote the Constitution and formed a new government. The new government was intended to create peaceful transitions of power, but that is not where we are headed. When the government “waits” it is failing to act. We are functioning under the myth of some illusion that current policy maintains the “status quo” when in fact there is an ongoing process of injustice spreading throughout our society. There is a point of no return where the people, previously believed to be lethargic and apathetic, suddenly rise up and in their anger the results are profound, unpleasant, unsafe and leading to thousands of unintended consequences to the detriment of the society that preceded it. Anyone relying on the status quo is relying on a misconception that an equilibrium point can be reached or has been reached. There is no such point in the current process. There is no stability in the current process.

From Jose Semidey

The way to win is to attack from different front, the legal front, the public opinion front, the political front and the financial front.

On the legal front the battle lines are drawn, we have our strategies, the enemy has theirs. we base our arguments on the single transaction theorem they base theirs in the fact that we allegedly stop making payments, We present facts as to how the procured documents, signatures and so called evidence via fraud, forgeries and deceit. There are other arguments that jointly with our clear victimization are pushing forward and slowly the trenches are being over run by the roper and smart application of foreclosure defense pro se litigants and smart attorneys.

On the political side we need to start making sure our voices are heard in unison, Yes, we are all fighting our individual battles, however, we must realize that we all depend on each other for the success of our own survival, if we atomize our struggle, they will. We will be a bunch of uncoordinated trolls. However, if we continue sharing knowledge, experiences, victories and defeats we will in short term have a solid and insurmountable obstacle for the unethical lawyers that have sold out to the other side.

We must remember to call and write daily to the white house, the congress, and all the state and local legislators to take notice that their inaction borders on complicity, collusion and corruption if not treason of the highest order. Our communities are being robbed blind of taxes, fees, etc. Our neighbors are being evicted and are being emotionally scarred. This is an election season, let us have our voices heard loud enough. TEA party move over, we do need stronger enforcement and regulation. We need stronger protections under the law, While we sit alone to fill out a loan application the other side has spent millions of dollars in designing the system that will make us go broke.
If 68 million mortgages in danger of foreclosure are not a big number for those who have their money in secret bank account, then the politician who pretend to represent us do not deserve to be in congress regardless of which party the belong.

The public opinion front, every time news come out about foreclosure defense wins we need to push the local media to report the news fairly and with proper perspective. We are not looking for loopholes we are looking for justice.

We need to write opinion articles and send them to the news papers every week, every day. send the register mail return receipt requested. That way they will not be able to say their dogs ate the letters.

Lets get into the news cycle. Protests in from to the steps of the court houses. Putting pressure on the courts and the foreclosure mills by publicizing their activities and lack of judgment will bring our effort to hit home.

We should make it financially impossible for foreclosure mills to do their evil deed, They should all be confronting ethics complaints. Can you imagine the effect that is going to have that 1,000,000 American families that will be foreclosed this year file grievances and complaints with their local BAR.

And the financial front, if we patronize the big banks that have stolen our wealth and have inflicted pain on all of us, then we are promoting the same people that are evicting our families and neighbors.

Let us chose local banks and promote their business over large national brands. Let us move our IRA’s, our CD’s, etc to those who will better appreciate our efforts. As we have all heard many times MONEY TALKS S*&^T walks.

this are just thoughts and are not meant to be sermons.

Let us get organized. Let us hit them hard.
