					<description><![CDATA[EVERYONE TELL OBAMA TO CRASH THE BIG BANKS NOW!

Big Wall Street Banksters created the Foreclose Economy because they are that greedy and &quot;Too Big to Care&quot; about the American Dream and basic Contract Law. It was done by design and with treasonous and willful intent strictly for power and profit.

The Illegal Securitized Mortgages that became the death blow to our economy actually bet on the foreclosure of the homeowner for as much as a 30 times return on investment. This is true financial terrorism. It is actually better for the investor to foreclose than to help someone stay in their home.

Want to know how easy it is to fix this problem? Crash all of the Big Banks now and fund local banks only that serve to enrich local economies only. Look at the example of the state owned banks in North Dakota, whose population has only a 4% unemployment rate.

The Fed and their complicit banks must be abolished to save the Republic!

It&#039;s the only thing we can do. CRASH THE BIG BANKS NOW &quot;Too Big Too Fail&quot; apparently means &quot;Too Big To Succeed&quot; and &quot;Too Big for their own Wallets&quot; 

The sooner the better. Why don&#039;t we ask a 3rd grade math student what he thinks? The real problem is that a politician who could do something about it has his own mathematical challenges about healthy economies. &quot;Bite the hand that feeds him&quot; (by indicting Banksters), or make millions putting children in the streets for power and profit. 

Apparently ALL politicians are going to make the same choice over and over again. They have always sold the souls of your children and their future and they always will. Take the big Banksters out of the picture. Build a local banking system that cares about its community and helps it thrive instead of sucking the life out of it by bribing and fixing the entire system for itself, taking us all of a cliff with it.

Crash all the big banks now. Create new local Banks only = No more Wall Street Banksters.

Problem Solved!

To get to the bottom of the foreclosure frenzy by the banks we need to look a little deeper into that  to reveal the man behind the curtain. Who  is the investor  nation that  holds most of our nation&#039;s debt?  Who is the investor nation that has been allowed to come over here and buy up  ALOT  of these foreclosures? DID WALL STREET AND THE BANKSTERS SCREW THEM  OR IS THERE MORE TO THAT STORY , TOO.  The American people are expected to repay our countries debt with our property. THIS IS DISGUSTING, MORE DISGUSTING EVEN THAN THE FRAUD . WALL STREET, AND THE BANKSTER CROOKS, THE FED AND THE TREAS. SHOULD HAVE TO EAT IT!!!!Theyare all  TO BLAME..

					<description><![CDATA[The reverse mortgage industry is one of the worst and least known examples of mortgage fraud perpetrated on vulnerable seniors - who end up losing their property, equity and very lives so greedy corporations can profit.  Reverse mortgages are continuously sold inappropriately without the seniors ever understanding the devastating consequences are rampant in this industry for several reasons
1. One spouse not yet 62 was told to quit claim their name off the property until they were 62 and then it would be put back on - it never happens!
2.  There are approx 13,000 reverse mortgages in default (waiting foreclosure) because the homeowners don&#039;t have the funds to pay their property tax, insurance or maintain the home.
3.  Anyone who needs long term care or cannot continuously occupy their home risks foreclosure.
Please see my webiste for the truth about reverse mortgages - elderfinancialterrorism..com and my facebook page Caring Advocates Protecting Seniors (from Reverse Mortgages)

The National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Assn. says they have etics, are protecting seniors, and care about senior - I PROMISE YOU THEY DO NOT CARE ABOTU ANYTHING BUT DRAINING EVERY LAST CENT FROM SENIOR CITIZENS PROPERTY AND ASSETS.
Please help stop the fraud and greed of everyday Americans - Best, Sandy Jolley]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[www.market-ticker.org

On Monetary Idiocy and Treason, Chris Whalen
 

This is a must-read:

    Despite examples of the success of restructuring with F and even General Motors, the invidious cowards who inhabit Washington are unwilling to restructure the largest banks and GSEs. The reluctance comes partly from what truths restructuring will reveal.

Indeed.  Were we to actually open the box and have a look inside, we would find chocolate-covered dog turds.  Lots of them.  We would discover that they were intentionally brokered and sold to investors worldwide, and that just like Citibank, the GSEs knew by 2006 that huge percentages of the production through the entire financial system was fraudulent. 

The sad part is that the truth is now actually out there in the record, under oath, in the form of testimony before the FCIC.  Pretending at this point is a waste of time and effort - there is nothing that can be done to avoid reality showing up.  Obama and friends are now fighting a rear-guard action, and the inevitable flanking attack is going to come.  When it does, the pretense will vanish in a puff of smoke.

    As a result, these same large zombie banks and the U.S. economy will continue to shrink under the weight of bad debt, public and private. Remember that the Dodd-Frank legislation was not so much about financial reform as protecting the housing GSEs.

Indeed.

    Because President Barack Obama and the leaders of both political parties are unwilling to address the housing crisis and the wasting effects on the largest banks, there will be no growth and no net job creation in the U.S. for the next several years. And because the Obama White House is content to ignore the crisis facing millions of American homeowners, who are deep underwater and will eventually default on their loans, the efforts by the Fed to reflate the U.S. economy and particularly consumer spending will be futile. As Alan Meltzer noted to Tom Keene on Bloomberg Radio earlier this year: &quot;This is not a monetary problem.&quot;

Barack Obama, just as with John McCain and both political parties, do not give a damn about the American public.  They do not care about the massive frauds perpetrated on them.  They could care less, so long as their banking cronies get bailed out and can continue to pretend they have &quot;good assets&quot;, even though what they really have on their balance sheets is rotting fish.  The underlying fraud in these &quot;products&quot; is being ignored because to do otherwise would be to admit that the banking system committed millions of chargeable felonies - and that would require that each and every one of these firms be shut down and their executives imprisoned.

    Forget Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner lying about the relatively small losses at American International Group (AIG), the fraud and obfuscation now underway in Washinton to protect the TBTF banks and GSEs totals into the trillions of dollars and rises to the level of treason. And the sad part is that all of the temporizing and excuses by the Fed and the White House will be for naught. The zombie banks and GSEs alike will muddle along until the operational cost of servicing bad loans engulfs them. Then they will be bailed out -- again -- or restructured.

But who will charge Treason?  Nobody.  The people are watching Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars and NFL Monday Night. 

It&#039;s truly amazing to watch someone get financially ****d on a daily basis and then argue over whether we should have prayer in the schools.  The last time I checked, if you&#039;re homeless and penniless, all these other political issues are rather immaterial to your life. 

Idiocracy has nothing on the average American.  We simply don&#039;t want to sit down with a pencil and paper and figure this stuff out.  You can&#039;t borrow your way to prosperity - all you do with borrowing is spend tomorrow&#039;s earnings today.  That&#039;s it. 

But when tomorrow comes you already spent the money.  Now you wind up having to do it again, or you must pull back.  So you do it again.  But that borrowing comes with an interest cost too, which means you always enjoy a lower standard of living over time by borrowing - always. 

    But now the larger lenders are sinking under the weight of rising servicing costs, falling asset returns and other problems linked to mortgage securitizations. So while the Fed continues to try to revive the largest banks via massive monetary ease, the FOMC is at the same time preparing to do further damage to solvent lenders, insurers and other investors via QE2.

    The IRA has spoken to a number of executives in banks and life insurance companies about the impact of QE and Fed zero interest rate policy on their income statements and balance sheets. The universal message: If rates do not return to &quot;normal&quot; levels by year-end, the pain in terms of reduced earnings on assets and the resultant negative cash flow will start to become so apparent that the financial markets will actually notice. In particular, we have been told that by year end several of the largest publicly traded banks and life insurers could show significant declines in net interest earnings due to QE -- declines driven by falling net interest income that may provoke ratings downgrades. And when this next systemic crisis comes -- whether in December or later in 2011 --- the full blame will belong to the members of the Bernanke Fed and the Obama Administration.

That&#039;s a polite way of saying that insurance companies and pension funds are going to start getting screwed in ways they can no longer hide.

This has been part of my message since Bernanke started with his &quot;easing&quot; - &quot;easy money&quot; always screws the saver.  And while people chortle that the money &quot;forced into the market&quot; helps GDP (because it is spent) and thus will allegedly pump the stock market it is inherently damaging to pension funds and insurance companies, because those institutions rely on the ability to grow money via safe interest payments to meet their obligations - and those obligations are to YOU.

Thus the pump in the market is short term, and is eventually followed by the realization that these institutions cannot pay out what was promised.  When that realization comes to the fore the collapse in valuations is immense, simply as reversion to reality.

There&#039;s more in here, and you should read it.  In particular, the issue of mortgage insurers - you know, the old monolines that have been on a tear in the market of late?  Yeah, those guys.  The guys who apparently, if IRA is correct, are not paying claims even though the GSEs force you to buy their product if you&#039;re not putting 20% down.  Instead of simply refusing to write business with less than 20% down, they&#039;re instead funneling your money to keep the artifice afloat, even though claims aren&#039;t being paid out - and it is a near-certainty you, in fact, are buying nothing.

As Chris says:

    In each case the substance of the transaction is to falsify the financial statements of the participants. And in each case, the acts are arguably criminal fraud. And in the case of the zombie banks, the GSEs and the MIs, the fraud is being actively concealed by Congress, the White House and agencies of the U.S. government led by the Federal Reserve Board. Is this not tyranny?

Of course it is.

But heh, Dancing With The Stars is on, even if we&#039;re all broke in America.

So instead of doing what we should - demanding of politicians that they take these organizations into receivership and their executives into custody, we instead will go searching for another stick for our teeth - because we bit through the last one yesterday.]]></description>

<p>    In each case the substance of the transaction is to falsify the financial statements of the participants. And in each case, the acts are arguably criminal fraud. And in the case of the zombie banks, the GSEs and the MIs, the fraud is being actively concealed by Congress, the White House and agencies of the U.S. government led by the Federal Reserve Board. Is this not tyranny?</p>
<p>Of course it is.</p>
<p>But heh, Dancing With The Stars is on, even if we&#8217;re all broke in America.</p>
<p>So instead of doing what we should &#8211; demanding of politicians that they take these organizations into receivership and their executives into custody, we instead will go searching for another stick for our teeth &#8211; because we bit through the last one yesterday.</p>
