The Jack Booted Thugs Coming to Break Into a Home Near You
By Matthew Weidner
Last week, I was a speaker at the National Bankruptcy Institute. During my presentation, I was describing how the banks were literally driving around this country, breaking into homes and doing whatever they damn well pleased….with no consequence and no penalties whatsoever. A woman in the front row became angrily indignant. She directly challenged me and all but called me a liar… in front of an audience of about a hundred attorneys.
I didn’t lay into her as directly as I could have, but she certainly got 100% of my attention. I was more than happy to rattle off to the crowd all the very specific cases that I am directly involved in. And then other members of the audience jumped in and started sharing their experiences…..she was literally shouted down. Needless to say this woman was put in her place.
And just this morning, I received the following email. I want everyone to read it carefully. Think about the larger picture and the bigger policy implications…
Check out this disturbing email here…
UPDATE: Looks like Matt’s site is down at the moment.
Here is the email…
I received a letter from Chase Home Finance threatening to break into my home, change the locks for “our protection and your own”.
According to Chase, my home is vacant and unoccupied, though apparently the lights being on, the car in the driveway, and my wife was weeding our property at the time they drove by or their agent drove by didn’t convince them of this fact.
On several occasions, Chase has sent people who refused to identify themselves by name, to enter the home, or have walked around the property freely photographing the front and back of the property even though they were told to leave as they were trespassing. In one instance, one of their workers tried to pop the Medico lock up front, and I had to warn the guy I would shoot through the door if he did not leave the property at once.
Like your client, the Sheriff’s Office refused to respond to the call until I told them I would shoot the intruder, no matter who it is. Citing the “Stand Your Ground Law”. That got them out.
I suspect that the reasons for Chase’s actions are simple. My home was once worth $310,000 and it has now been assessed by the property appraiser at somewhere between $97,000 and $127,000.
Though I have paid well over $100,000 on the purchase price, this does not affect Chase’s insecurity complex. At least 1/2 of the homes in the neighborhood have suffered a foreclosure, and today low class tenants occupy the “hood”. What was once a wonderful neighborhood full of cops, firefighters and paramedics, ATF, and DEA agents is now a jungle.
So I suppose I should begin by saying I never asked Chase to finance my purchase. That was World Savings Bank. My original commitment letter stated 4.84 percent APR, but they strung me out, or should I say the mortgage broker did, and on the date of closing, the last day to close, with a sizable deposit, Chase appeared with a “take it or leave it” 5.99 percent APR loan. World Savings Bank was nowhere in sight.
In other words, I was forced to accept Chase as my lender at closing. When I contacted World Savings Bank and complained, they claimed that they had no idea that Chase got the loan, and blamed the mortgage broker who, apparently, sold my loan for a higher origination fee or simply got bribed to switch me into a more expensive loan.
Immediately after closing, Chase threatened a foreclosure because according to them I would not insure the entire amount of the loan, rather than replacement value of the building.
They wanted the building and land insured. I tried to explain to them that you can’t just insure for the entire loan amount, as its illegal to do that and insurers were not going to do that.
This cat and mouse game, including extremely expensive $14k a year insurance premiums continued through 2009 and part of 2010. Of course now they are claiming the same.
Last Saturday I received a letter, again from Chase threatening to break in, change locks and “winterize” my property to protect it.
I find it ironic since its not Winter, and more specifically why change existing locks if the property is occupied and adequately protected?
I fear that there are two laws. One for the common man and one for the too-big-to-fail banks. Somehow I feel the situation is inequitable.

KEVIN – sorry to hear of your trouble. Yes, there is something definitely off kilter / out of whack in this country. Everything is topsy turvy, up is down and down is up and wrong is apparently right. I cannot put my finger on quite where we turned the corner toward lawlessness toward the common citizen took place. I guess it really doesn’t matter, what matters is that yes, the courts and the judges conveniently look the other way. It is frightening, imo, to have your country turn into some alternate world that is unrecognizable from the one you grew up in.
Our Supreme Court members are mostly liberal wackos who are among the least qualified to decide matters of law. There seems to be no recourse. It’s sort of like the tower of babel story, its like the “haves” and the “have nots” speak different languages. The haves show no interest in or even curiosity about our thoughts and what we have to say. Somehow we became expendable.
We seem to have no power. As bad off as we were, it got even worse with the dreadful ruling that companies are free to bribe and corrupt at will, it is their RIGHT. How does the common ordinary person compete with such things.
Whenever i allow myself to contemplate this, all I see is that at some future as yet unknown date, this country will be in the news, if such a thing exists anymore, because we will be the ones in revolt. The revolution will not be pretty, it will be deadly and dangerous as all the other ones we now see and cluck our tongues over. Our sons and daughters will not die on foreign soil because of rich man’s oil, they will die here trying to reclaim a once-great country that followed suit with all other once-great countries. It was a great ride until the bottom fell out. Some of us don’t realize that yet, they say we are conspiracy theorists, racists (because we are dissatisfied with Obama’s failure to deliver what he promised. He did promise transparency and to some of us that transparency is real. It is transparently evident that we are in a very bad position. In debt so far is there any recovery, we have no product, we make nothing, all our jobs go overseas, there will be health rationing (death panels, whatever you wish to call it). Soon those who scoff at us for being hysterics and malcontents will see that we were right But we will take no pleasure in that. Because we are all on the same sinking, losing ship, no compass, the captain appears to be not of sound mind (our leaders). Everything is chaos and anarchy on its heels.
J.P. Morgan/Chase sends a thug to my house every couple of weeks. I have run them off several times.
I have the same problem as “Grady” above.
Chase has thugs come to my house every month that snoop around, take photos, peer into the windows, and attempt to talk to my neighbors of which they tell them “we have been notified that the property next door is vacant, can you verify that etc”.
Chase has sent me letters (to my “vacant” address) saying that they will have to take steps to “secure” my “vacant” property like “changing the locks” if I do not assure them that the “vacant” property is being “maintained”.
In reply, I have told Chase MULTIPLE TIMES that my property is not vacant and that I LIVE here and that they need to STOP sending thugs out to snoop around and to NOT have these thugs talk to my neighbors. Yet they CONTINUE to do this and have told me that they have to do this because of some kind of FreddieMac regulation (????).
In addition, now my home owner’s insurance company was “notified” that my home is “vacant” and they are canceling my policy because of this (I am trying to get that mess straightened out).
Who are these idiots that are supposedly “notifying” Chase, and my homeowner’s insurance company, that my property is “vacant”. How do I contact them – or rather who do I friggin’ sue?????? I truly think that Chase is behind the whole thing (they are trying to foreclose on my property).
Its Chase, No surprise here
Going on the offense in the foreclosure battle
The rule of law is dead in America. It is simply used to advance political agendas and ideology, punish those that resist, enrich the masters of our fiat government, and further the interests of those that plan to enslave us.
Until, we as a group file criminal complaints against the robo-signers, the forgers of manufactured affidavits and assignments, and those breaking into homes, nothing will change. Until we file class actions lawsuits against these lenders and the fraudsters that represent them, nothing will change.
The way things are now, the lenders and fraudsters have nothing at risk. Until we put them at risk of jail time and or financial penalty for their actions, nothing will change.
The same thing goes for the state attorney generals. They do not have the constitutional authority to “void” the rule of law and let the fraudsters off with a slap on the wrist. They took an oath to uphold the Constitution and defend the rule of law. If they refuse to do that, they are violating their oath of office and must be re-called. We need to call our attorney generals and remind them of this.
As long as we stay on the defense, refusing to go on the offense, and take the necessary actions to put these fraudsters and elected officials at risk, nothing will change.
In order to obtain justice, action must be taken to demand justice!
I am all for class actions, but try to find an attorney who wants to go against the revived roman empire. IF YOU DARE EVEN SPEAK to these lawyers about going at the crooks who defrauded us for criminal liability they want to make you think that you are crazy wrong about everything. You can stick the fraud right in their faces and they will say well, this is what they did, it is not fraud my friend, the banksters, they can do no wrong. We screwed up. This wasn’t intentional you know. blah,blah,blah. ….. The lawyers are telling the people to go it alone, and try and buy time for yourself. They do not want to go up against the powers that be, those judges do not care if we the people got screwed, they do what they want. The judges see a mortgage note and they say, I dont’ see any ORIGINATION FRAUD, I don;t want to hear that this note is unsecured, fraudulently induced, robo-signed, forged, was in MERS which created a broken chain of title or what not, someone is owed this money and I DO NOT CARE IF WE DO NOT KNOW WHO THAT PARTY EVEN IS. WE ARE NOT HERE TO SEE THE VICTIMS GET JUSTICE, WE ARE HERE TO SEE TO IT THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE BANKSTERS STEAL YOUR HO– USE.The judges hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil against the criminal perps who set the people up and then robbed the people. The poor banks are the victims, we the victims are the criminal deadbeats. All the criminals are now saints here in America. The whole country is running rampant with fraud and corruption and there is no justice for the victims. .
Why is this fraud, involving false affidavits and filed documents, prosecuted with possible 14 year jail times, yet the robo-signers, false document creators, bank officials and fraudsters, and foreclosure mill fraudsters, get off scott free? Something is terribly wrong with this picture. Personally, any Attorney General that signs on to any agreement that lets these criminals get off scott free, must be recalled for violating their oath to uphold the Constitution.
2 ex-Dem leaders charged in fake tea party scheme

I’m sorry, but if somebody that I didn’t know, representing a bankster that I had NO dealings with, showed up at my home purchase settlement, claiming to be the note holder with that 5.99% rate, I would have walked out. Maybe not when I was much younger, and relatively trusting and naive in regards to real estate agents and banksters, BUT CERTAINLY NOT TODAY, or the last twenty years for that matter. That would involve ANY contract.
You have my signature AND yours on the SAME piece of paper. Fine! You don’t…..BYE,BYE!
Dunno, email sounds kinda fishy. Not saying it couldn’t happen exactly as he says. Just sounds fishy.
If anyone knows how to, the email re the “Jack Booted Thugs” should and the responses should be read to the Attorneys General who are meeting together. This is so typical of our corporate greed system of today. We homeowners need HELP against these criminal banksters, and we need it YESTERDAY. Justice is supposed to be blind, there is not supposed to be any favoritism or assumption of right of any party in the courts, either. Any loans that had predatory terms that the banks or lenders cannot produce the chain of title, properly recorded, without additional time, affidavits of “lost documents” etc. should have quiet title AUTOMATICALLY given to the homeowners – that should be a key point in ANY settlement by the Attorneys General with the banks. Law MUST rule again, for all parties. If there is no punishment that really hurts these banks and lenders, there will be NO CHANGE in their behavior and no justice for the homeowner!
I couldn’t get it to load either, darn.
JA I too am having problems thought it was me guess not .I vent if you have working link can you please forward as the link here is not working.My thanks. Pam
Either Matt Weidner’s servers are really busy or the jack-booted thugs have already figured out a way to take down his website/blog, because I cannot get that page to load. Interesting…
Could the banksters be calling out President Obama any louder to stop them? Could this rogue behavior be anymore outrageous? The banks know this is criminal behavior and they want to be stopped.. Why are they doing it? The shadow government is lurking behind the scenes of Foreclosuregate, The shadow Government, the U.N/SMOM/VATICAN. holds our land in fee simple so they think they own our homes. .They do not OWN OUR HOMES, WE OWN OUR HOMES..
