FRONTLINE LISTEN NOWOur personal data is everywhere online. Much of it we post ourselves on social-networking sites like

FRONTLINE asked two privacy experts to help answer these questions, and talk about what they do to protect themselves online. CLICK HERE FOR THE PODCAST.

Does it affect your ability to achieve a mortgage modification? Just something to consider.

Fraudclosure Against America’s Middle Class – A War with Serious Repercussions

A Foreclosure Primer from a Washington State Paralegal.

I.             War Against America’s Middle Class.

bankers-warsWhile most Americans’ (and in fact the world’s) attention is on Syria, I would like to point out that there has been a war waging right here at home for several years, and it is far more likely to have a direct impact on you than anything overseas.

There is a financial war being waged that is arguably as damaging as any war in recent history.  Warren Buffet said “In my view, derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal”.

Five years after the financial collapse precipitated by the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy on September 15, 2008, the risk of another full-blown financial panic is still looming large, despite the Dodd Frank legislation designed to contain it. As noted in a recent Reuters article, the risk has just moved into the shadows: Continue reading

20 Cities That May Face Bankruptcy After Detroit

City Of Compton, California Considers BankruptcyGenerated from a Newsmax post:

Think Motown is the only major U.S. city in a boatload of financial trouble? Think again. By Stephen Moore

Detroit’s bankruptcy filing sent shivers down the spine of municipal bondholders, government employees, and big-city urban residents all over the country. That’s because many of the 61 largest U.S. cities are plagued with the same kinds of retirement legacy costs that sent Detroit into Chapter 9 bankruptcy this summer.  Continue reading

financial-crisis2InvestmentWatch reported on the recent predictions of Peter Schiff.  Economic Crisis: 2007 and 2013 – Peter Schiff: A Collapse Happened In 2008, But Even More Catastrophic Economic Collapse Will Hit the United States Economy In 2013 or 2014

“In 2006, when he faced off with many well known Titans of investing and warned of an impending financial disaster and economic collapse, Peter Schiff was laughed at by his colleagues.

He urged Americans to exit financial markets and take steps to protect themselves before the wealth held in their savings accounts, retirement investments and real estate was wiped out. Few listened…

“Height of Hypocrisy” – Legalize MERS with a National Mortgage Data Repository aka Foreclosure Fraud-Away

Jeb HensarlingWhat does a hypocrite look like? The poster boy for the Republican “Height of Hypocrisy” is Texas 5th District Congressional Representative Jeb Hensarling. The Republicans claim to be for state’s rights, tight borders, and Texas wants to secede from the Union… Yet this whopping idiot wants a national land registry…blur the lines between the states and allows foreign ownership and control!

Apparently, his recent date with Wall Street has thoroughly discolored his state’s rights land recordation thought process. In January this year, Rep. Jeb Hensarling ascended to the powerful chairmanship of the House Financial Services Committee. Six weeks later, campaign finance filings and interviews show, Hensarling was joined by representatives of the banking industry for a ski vacation Continue reading

An OPEN FORECLOSURE DEFENSE LETTER To ALL Governors – Wake Up!

court home snatchersMost of us working in foreclosure defense find the foreclosure procedure despicable. The lies and fraudulent documents make our hearts ache and stomachs turn; and when a judge refuses to see the deceit – CORRUPTION lights up like a neon sign. It’s time we take over these land grab issues, hand them back to the states and ask the Governors and Legislators to reign in the courts and protect the constituents. This is not about a “free house” – which is pure bankster propaganda that is hard to overcome. This is about truth, integrity and honesty – none of the attributes that Wall Street banks possess these days.

One Washington state constituent, Linda Michelle Darnell, a foreclosure defense consultant, wrote a compelling letter to her governor, Jay Inslee. We Continue reading

Coming Clean Beyond the Fiscal Cliff

Some things never change and… “Some things are too important to be left to the  the private sector” (George Calloway).

by Catherine Austin Fitts

“Information is the hardest currency.”
~Andrew Vachss

Washington’s negotiations to address the fiscal cliff of automatic tax increases and spending cuts legislatively triggered at the close of 2012 are the latest in an ongoing effort to address increasing U.S. federal government deficits and debt levels. Enormous monetary and fiscal stimulus has failed to produce an economic recovery. In short, the U.S. government and central banks have failed to dig out. Instead, they are now dug in deeper. What to do now? Continue reading

Elizabeth Warren Blasts Regulators For Protecting Banks

Elizabeth-Warren2“The Fed messed with the wrong senator…” posted David Dayen on Salon.  Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) grilled federal officials about illegal bank foreclosures at a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Thursday. She wanted to know if they would give information to victims of illegal foreclosures–or if they just want to protect the banks. Warren asked, “You now know individual cases where the banks violated the law, and you’re not going to tell the homeowners, or at least it’s not clear yet whether you’re going to do that?”     Continue reading
