There is no way to get to them exposing it all out in the open so you have to play their partisan games in order to get them to think, and maybe 10 years from now, something will click in place in their heads.

The left / right paradigm serve the same masters and it is not humanity they serve either.

If I was a religious man, I would say they serve Satan himself.

Deception, Greed, Sloth, Theft, Murder, Liars, Right is Wrong and Wrong is Right and so on have all been accepted by these cockroaches as things to uphold as righteous.
To add a little humor to the discussion. Beware, foul language. I would bury those cockroaches!

That reminds me of this comedy song. Very funny. Warning the f*bomb is everywhere.
However, it seems really appropriate now, lol.

Just unreal........and then securitize the things to boot. I'm sure the government is in there somewhere backing these things. Gotta be. What was that a five point something return? So is that what your rent will go up every year?
I agree with you on this one chief.

God, that is so scary but it's all true, I'm afraid. If the individual didn't BEFORE he got elected, he will shortly thereafter. Ugh.

Where should I move is the question.

Just read a lengthy article on someone relinquishing their US citizenship. Sounded seriously involved.
Moving is always a very personal thing, have to research well.

Apparently, according to this little article. This new product is already popular. So this little test seems to be paying off.
The New Bond That's Supposed To Revolutionize The Housing Market Is Already A Huge Hit
quote:
"This deal firmly establishes that capital markets are ready for this new asset class," an unnamed RMBS investor told Tempkin. "It is massively better execution than bank-finance alternatives. It shows that the securitization markets are open for rental-finance strategies, and that there is significant capital downstream for this sector."

The Daily Show: Couple "Forecloses" On Bank Of America
Have you ever heard of CEDE&Co? From time to time a blogger stumbles on it and writes a piece about how this ghost company controls the markets as a part of some conspiracy theory. Virtually all stock is held in this nominee name. IBM does not know you own 100 shares of their stock. The owner of this nominee name knows exactly which broker or bank owns x shares of IBM. In turn, each broker or bank knows which of their customers own X shares of IBM.

MERs is a similar concept. It is the nominee owner of about 2/3rds of all outstanding mortgages. It allows mortgages to be sold outright and or securitized without recording changes with the county. It allows servicing the mortgage ( collection and disbursement of monthly P&I) to be assigned, sold or leased independent of title.

When the bubble imploded some attorneys challenged the nominee concept and became the so called whistle blowers of robosigning. Some states/ municipalities got on the band wagon when they realized that MERs avoided recording changes of ownership of the note at the municiple level. It was costing them lost revenue in recording fees. The whole deal got a lot of press by people who have no knowledge of how accounting for transactions work.

MERs is accounting, not fraud. It is my understanding that subsequent to the outrage all states have approved MERs.

So you don't like it when properties are sold to the highest bidder and you don't like it when the admin considered renting out some properties as affordable housing?

How would "Bitcoin" fit into all of this? Because when it comes down to finance, I'm a bit confused. My understanding of Bitcoin is that it is akin to bypassing RIAA when downloading MP3s, for example. In this case it is bypassing wallstreet banks.

Real estate is my second career. I spent 25 years on Wall Street.

I made the decision to retire after running for my life from the WTC.

I am familiar with what MERS is. It is a large topic in itself. More to it than people not understanding accounting, however, LOL. That article was from 2011. This is fairly typical of government to slap and sweep, they have way too much to lose. Discussing accounting and fraud is an enormous subject, especially where banks and govt are concerned.

The Washington Supreme Court ruled unanimously today in Bain (Kristin), et al. v. Mortg. Elec. Registration Sys., et al., No. 86206-1 defining the statutes to determine that MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. – the mortgage industry’s controversial document-recording system) was not entitled to be a beneficiary in Deed of Trusts and might have violated state consumer protection laws.

“MERS assignments have numerous defects, including affirmative misrepresentations of fact, which render them false, deceptive, and/or invalid,” Schneiderman stated in his court filing against the three servicers and MERS.

New MERS settlement to impact borrowers nationwide
quote:
The state of Delaware recently settled a lawsuit with Merscorp Holdings Inc., who operates the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS)... With little to no oversight of MERS’ practices, MERS did not meaningfully audit its records and failed to enforce its own rules governing members’ conduct. MERS was thus a key player contributing to the lack of transparency in the foreclosure tidal wave…”

Schneiderman Settles Suit Against Banks for Use of MERS for Paltry $25 Million

Well, so much for that. Schneiderman settled the MERS suit with the three banks and two others, for, get this, a measly $25 million. And look, the Delaware and Massachusetts suits against MERS were folded into it as well.
