hi Collene

here is Ariana EChung Cha, the Washington Post reporter that is looking for foreclosure stories.

tell her the David sent you. I have talked to her and she is looking for stories to write about.

here is her email.

we should all be writing to her since the paper is very prestigious and in Washington, D.C. and was responsible for revealing the Watergate scandal.

when she writes , govt and industry people in washington including the banks listen and right now the lobbyists are in D.C. full force to lobby for legalizing MERS even more and the robo signer bill as well in this lame duck session while everyone is eating turkey and sleeping their tryptophan dreams.

if you call the washington post in d.c. and ask for her they will connect you and yo ucan leave your name and number and email .

she doesn’t seem to want to call people so email seems best

hope this may help’

regards

Thanks, Debbie, will contact you…

I am a member in three vets orgs and have been thinking about contacting them. I just get worn out fighting and have to take long breaks like a month or so.

anyway I have found that JPMORGAN CHASE and EMC are being sued in a class action case for mortgage fraud and hamp denial in federal court in chicago illinois. Northern District Federal Cour for Illinois

here is the case number

the plaintiff is SHERRON and I am trying to get a copy of the complaint from the federal court.

you can verify this if you go to Washington Post website. the reporter’s name is ariana chung.

I have talked to her and she acted like she was interested the vets story but then she just blew me off . I posted on their blod that this site referred us to and the POSt contacted me and then blew me off.

She knows a lot of stuff and has a lot of sources but seems to be only reporting a partial perspective on the reality of the situation.
like waiting for a huge scandal to break with regard to this foreclosure mess.

One thing that I suggest to everybody is that you go to Youtube and search for Aaron Russo’s interviews where he talks about the conversations that he had with Nicholas Rockefeller. This entire mess was planned by those that want to OWN THE USA. I also suggest that you search YouTube for US Corporation and Sea of Souls to find out what has really been going on for over 100 years driven by the banksters.

The truth is bitter, but at least you will know what has been happening. Then remember that there are hundreds of millions of us and a few thousand of them…stand up and be counted. Begin to withdraw from their system by not spending every penny that you make. Spend only that which you need to survive. Pull your money out of the big banks and put it in healthy local banks. Buy silver etc.

I have a suggestion for Vets in this situation. Veteranstoday.com will run your stories as will many of the veterans associations like IVAW (Iraq Vets Against the War). Get your stories to as many of these groups as possible. See if they have any committees to help vets faced with losing their homes. If they don’t, start one and begin organizing protests and inviting your state and federal politicos to them. Videotape these gatherings and put the videos on Liveleak, Youtube and other video feeds. Send the tapes to your local news stations as well. The more noise that you make, the more likely that you will get attention.

I am not offering legal advice with this post. I am just a retired disabled Vietnam-era veteran here in portland oregon area fighting to keep my home. I am not in foreclosure or behind in my payments but that doesnt make any difference. I have zero equity in my home and have lost at least $ 250,000 dollars in value since the meltdown of 2008. I have been denied HAMP by JP Morgan Chase/EMC and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

the point of this post is that what I have discovered is that there may be for me relief from all of this in the federal FAIR HOUSING ACT. so I have filed a claim with HUD and Secretary DONOVAN and the regional office in Seattle for alleged discriminatory mortgage practices by JPMORGAN CHASE/EMC.

HUD defines predatory lending as discriminatory and the federal law above provides for attorney fees and full restitution to the homeowner and rep’g against the lender by the u.s. justice department.

well I expected to be allegedly stonewalled by HUD but they have outdone themselves here in the Seattle Regional office and by allgedly Mr. Donovan himself the Secreary of HUD

if we homeowners all filed discrimination complaints with HUD I honestly believe that we would start turing around this situation. but no one is complaining in writing to HUD there have only been according to HUD 34 cases filed.

these cases can wind up in federal court eventually but it gives us a chance to complaint in a statuatory way under federal law at the administrative level with the right of appeal if necessary.

the lenders servicers know about this law and are afraid of the $ 10,000 fine if found at fault.

for one million loans that were allegedgly predatory times the $ 10,000 per loan fine.

that would meean that Chase would be looking at

1,000,000 loans times $ 10,000 per loan or $ 10,000,000,000. that is 10 billion in fines

and on to p of that if those loans are al l found t obe predatory under Community Reinvestment ACt there is another $ 10 billion of fines on top of the previous $ 10 billion.

now do yo uthink that if Chase / EMC had to pay $ 20 billion i n loans that it would get their attention.

WELL YEAH !

best regards and happy thanksgiving to all
