Minnesota Accuses Encore Capital of "Robo-Signing"
Don, as you know I think the robo-signing was very intentional because it implies that the entities had no real knowledge about what they were signing. I do not believe that was the case. I think the robo-signing was the only way they could create the trillions and trillions of capital out of nothing. Check out this video of Christopher Story describing what is really going on w/ the financial situation and what an enormous global shell game the entire thing is facilitated by the fact that we digitized money. The guy in this video is Christopher Story, a man w/ a very long history as a writer about economic affairs. He created the International Currency Review,which includes the World Bank, the Federal Reserve, and the Bank of England and he was also an economic adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. You might say that has nothing to do w/ us but it has everything to do w/ us as this is a global crime w/ the World bank and the fed reserve as the perpetrators. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jug-W-DKcms— March 31, 2011 12:34 a.m.
Fed to Release Information on Wall Street Loans during Crisis
I have been waiting for years for people to figure out that they are now on the hook for about 23 trillion dollars....lets see if it will finally happen....— March 30, 2011 3:04 p.m.
Fed to Release Information on Wall Street Loans during Crisis
Wow....will this actually happen? People still believe the lie that they paid us back. Thats what makes me crazy. here's what they did....The banks paid us back w/ these top secret loans from the Fed. Thats all that happened. So they paid us back w/ money they borrowed from us to pay us back. So really, nothing changed, except that now it looks like the banks are solvent. And then to add insult to injury they took all the bad mortgages and put them onto Fannie and Feddie aka US. o now fannie and freddie own 90% of the loans in this country. the whole thing was smoke and mirrors used to transfer their bad bets and debt obligations to us.— March 30, 2011 3:02 p.m.
Is Assembly Leader Toni Atkins Cashing in on Homelessness?
corruption is rampant everywhere but to cash in on social welfare programs---that is about as contemptible and evil as it gets and I think its why I have such a bone to pick w/ Toni. For years she has presented herself as a crusader for the underpriviledged and the marginalized members of society and YET....her decisions have ALWAYS been in favor of her special interests. And she always begins her speeches w/ something like... "Solving homelessness is complicated and is not free or easy by any means." Anytime something is "complicated", its code for "Im going to pretend like Im on your side but Im voting for my special interest developers". She did that to us the whole time she was our Council member when we came to her to address the massive demolitions of historic properties by her developer friends in our neighborhoods. And I am still not sure why her wife Lesar qualifies as an expert at solving this complex problem...obviously she is an expert or she couldnt charge $225 per hour. Why is it that it is virtually impossible to find any projects Lesar has worked on, yet she claims to have participated in 3 billion dollars worth of projects? Because Lesar and Atkins have very good lawyers that hide their money in Delaware LLCs. Lesar should list EVERY project she has worked on or had a financial stake in. What are her and her partner hiding? Again, this is as contemptible as it gets...pretending you are working for these poor members of society when really you are raking in the profits at $225 an hour "solving" their problem. If I had it my way her jail cell would be 1 of the god awful toxic tenement slums she has littered our neighborhoods w/.— March 23, 2011 10:12 p.m.
Is Assembly Leader Toni Atkins Cashing in on Homelessness?
Peter, I dont think the allegations are unjust in the LEAST! In fact, they dont even begin to touch on Atkins history cashing in on "affordable housing" and homelessness. I see that you are on damage control for her commenting in CityBeat as well. Just because someone is working on homelessness does not make them a saint and it does not mean they are not totally and utterly corrupt. No offense Peter, but your speech sounds like it is straight from Toni's publicist. It is vague and disingenuine just like Toni and sounds very much like all of Tonis canned explanations for why she is protecting the developers that put her in office. I've heard enough rhetoric. Words mean nothing. Actions are all that matter. Toni has had her chance and she has failed miserably and I can't wait until she is finally investigated and arrested.— March 23, 2011 9:29 p.m.
Is Assembly Leader Toni Atkins Cashing in on Homelessness?
@realNews City Council will NEVER investigate this but the FBI should be. the problem is the FBI investigates these things then they turn the evidence over to the DA Dumanis to prosecute and she ALWAYS says the claims are baseless even though the FBI says prosecute. So I think thats why the city and people like Atkins and the mayor are so arrogant about their crime ring.....a crime ring that includes voter fraud.— March 9, 2011 7:55 p.m.
Is Assembly Leader Toni Atkins Cashing in on Homelessness?
@BSP, I believe there are still other things you guys can do to protect that area. 1st of all the neighborhood should be designated as a historic neighborhood the way neighboring Burlingame has been, which will help alot. You still have almost all of your orig architecture entact and that could be what saves you. I am very interested in helping to preserve SouthPark. I live in NorthPark but have been concerned about SouthPark for a long time. If I can assist I will. I admit I am still learning the tricks to help save these neighborhoods but I would definitely like to try and figure out what we can do for southpark. SoHo can help alot. You guys can also create a community Bill of Rights.— March 9, 2011 7:52 p.m.

BlueSouthPark I assume you live in SothPark? You guys have done an astounding and brilliant job of redevelopment in that community and I believe it was w/o redevelopment funds , right? Anyway are you paying attention to the "granny flat" thing down there. Be very very careful w/ that. That is the argument being shaped and written by the Building Industry to get apartments down there. The key word in the legilation they are proposing is "at the same time". those are very important words. If it was really about granny flats the permitting would be done at different times. The only reason you need to be able to get the permit for the primary residence and the granny flat at the same time is because you want to tear down the primary unit to max the 2 units that now can go on the lot. It will destroy your neighborhood and pave the way for development.— March 9, 2011 6 p.m.
Fox Canyon Neighborhood Protests Governor’s Move to Eliminate Redevelopment Agencies
You know i worked for a forensic architect for 7 years and we dealt w/ lawsuits against developers for poor construction and this was 1 of our cases. I cant remember why they are being sued but as usual in these sort of developments, the construction is very sloppy and these buildings are often toxic to their tenents. the worst part is most of the time they tear down perfectly good historic buildings to build this garbage.— March 9, 2011 5:56 p.m.
Fox Canyon Neighborhood Protests Governor’s Move to Eliminate Redevelopment Agencies
