This is from someone in the poorest country of the americas after a long hard coup created by american embassies.
I feel sorry for the people who have to go through life suppressing feelings relating to what one knows is wrong or right, simply because they fear for their jobs. The police brutality against the Occupy movement is a prime example. Fear makes people capable of horrible behavior.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sorry, but grow up folks. you buy a house, you cant pay for it, you lose it. i mean, what do guys want? you want banks to start giving out houses for free? what else do you demand for free? free cars perhaps? free big screens? do tell us what else you demand for free.
and please do tell how on earth wall street has caused the systematic displacement of families and HOW on earth are loans unfair? did wall street get people in over their heads?
@jboze3131 ... Nobody wants their house for free, or anything else; that's ridiculous. Have you ever heard of predatory loans? Sub-prime? Do you have any idea of the corrupt way the system has been rigged? People's mortgages are being raised by obscenely unreasonable amounts. This is happening everywhere. If the system were not insanely predatory, there would be no protests. Why do you think "Occupy Wall Street" exists? Get off your high horse, do a little research, and answer your own question.
@sktyler1 you do realize that federal govt programs insisting on higher home ownership lead to these subprime loans, yes? banking firms were forced into a lot of these mortgages by the govt. the ones they weren't forced into were the only means that some people had to get a home in the first place- subprime loans open the housing market up to people who would never quality for a mortgage (mostly because of their bad prior decisions). if you have good credit, you dont deal with this.
@jboze3131 Subprime loans are only a tiny fraction of the problem. Great books about this topic, "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin, and "Web of Debt" by Ellen Brown, explain what's going on with the banking system very well. People have no idea, especially if they get their news from mainstream media. "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein spells out the overall picture.
My full support to OccupyWallStreet and to these people in the courtroom. Peaceful protesting is only a step for change but it is an important step none the less.
This is beginning to feel more and more like a José Saramago novel where suddenly and without warning outbreaks of sanity, compassion, and creativity spread across the land.
Yay!! They were able to stop this auction..but, what about the millions of displaced families? Just because it isn't happening to you, doesn't mean it's not happening!!! In 2009, there were more home foreclosures since the depression in 1945. In 2010, there were 1 Million homes taken away by the banks. In 2011, since July the rate of foreclosures rose 33% and are estimated at 1 Million per year indefinitely unless something changes!
All they know how to do is arrest. Don't have discussions, conversation .. just blindly follow your leader .. whatcha gonna do when it's your son or daughter singing along? Hmm?
In his Oct. 15 column in the New York Times, Nicholas Kristof, who is no Wall Street sycophant, said “According to the CIA's own ranking of countries by income inequality, the United States is more unequal a society than either Tunisia or Egypt..." Get a clue!! OWS is overdue, of great merit, and globally aligned w/ new times to come. Trickle down my foot.
And while these people get arrested the lowlife scumbag filth on Wall Street sip their champagne and cruise in their porches - what a disgusting society we live in in the "civilized" west
Life, Liberty and a Home is a right in America and never should be denied by our government or its civil servants who administer the laws. All laws especially those that govern a home should be compassion based and not based on greed exercised by politicians and business people. A great video.
@cjspano820--Welcome to our planet! Guess you missed the part where banks crashed our financial system, loaned predatorilly, repackaged mortgages, sold them, and then illegally started foreclosing on 1,000's of people who were NOT late on payments and some that were only weeks late. Not to mention the loss of 100's of 1000's of jobs. Oh, and the part where our Gov. bailed out the banks with ~OUR~ money! Guess all this was easy for you to miss being from ANOTHER UNIVERSE ENTIRELY!
I can't believe people think this okay to do... Breaking laws doesn't solve anything, youre just delaying the inevitable you retards, pay your mortgage and you won't be foreclosed on. You think not posting your loan is okay? They lent you the money you fucking twits. Pay it back
This is how we fix things. We do it ourselves. Take control at the basic levels, instead of waiting for some special person in an all white house to save you.
We will never change the minds of those whose minds are closed. As a real estate agent for 20 years, I saw stuff going on with these sub-prime loans that I would have lost my license for when I was working in real estate. Kickbacks to steer clients to banks and insurance companies are legal now, not legal when I was working. Perfectly qualified people with good credit offered bad loans instead of fixed rate good loans and then told "don't worry you can always refinance". It was fraud!
Yes! Besides a moratorium on foreclosures, we need to declare a moratorium on mortgage payments. If we all refuse to pay the criminal banks, they can't possibly prosecute. A home is a basic right. Every person deserves to own the place in which she lives. We can make it so!
I agree, I never stated that the theory is wrong. I agree that the banks are using unfair tactics to get people to pay for property at inflated prices.
But when you get in a contract with these people, and you sign knowing full well the consequences, it's YOUR fault. Not easy to have sympathy for someone who commits to their OWN usury.
Brought tears to me eyes to see people standing up and ACTING for what's right. I agree: hope viewers seeing this will be motivated to join forces and participate in taking back this country from big banks, corporations, and the wealthiest 2%
But banks were lending out money to people knowing they could not pay it back and they didn't care or they didn't know which makes them incompetent in the first place to be lending out money. I hope this happens every week and gives a few people some extra time to find a job so they can get back on track and pay an extra bill or two thanks to those few people who made that sacrifice.
You say "Banks LYING to you is one issue" - but it is the same issue. If you mislead someone into signing an agreement, that is not legal and that document is no longer legally binding.
@RandomShellAccount - Whilst you are correct at the "get what you pay for" analogy, there is no legal grounding for any mortgage anywhere in the world. All mortgages are actually null and void contracts, as the banks have no legitimate consideration. The money that pays for it, only comes into existence on paper at the time the contract is signed, it IS NOT guaranteed on existing reserves. A similar practice brings money into existence in the first place. Look up fractional reserve lending :)
@dgl1962 "immediate moratorium until loans are made fair and sustainable" is not wanting their homes for free. How many of these Americans losing their homes were forced to help bail out these banks?
@McSchweddy "Fair & sustainable" can be interpreted in a hundred ways, especially by the portions of this group who think they shouldn't have to pay for their homes.
Yes, the bankers at Wallstreet & the FED suck for getting us into this mess, but citizens who bought homes knew & agreed to the price at closing.
They knew what their mortgage would be.
They knew for how long it would last.
Many took out loans to buy cars, bling & bullshit.
@dgl1962 Banks love to give out loans to people who can't afford to pay it back . The more debt to them the better . Of course people shhould know better , but how are you supposed to convince your neighbour/friend/family member or whatever that it's not wise ? The banks took advantage of the stupid people and we all have to pay , including you and me who have no debt and are responsible with money . The system is rigged , open your eyes .
@OnTheLambda con't : Taxes to bail out the banks so they can lend out more to these spendthrifts ? There needs to be some regulation or just let the banks fail and no more bailouts . The people will end up owning nothing while the bankers have it all , that includes everything you've worked so hard for too .
My point was that if I were a banker who knew that I could get a bailout for loans that went bad that I would make riskier loans than I would normally.
@dgl1962 Why the hell would someone risk losing their money just because they knew that they could spend even more money and time to try and bribe someone to bail them out? The whole point of giving out loans as a banker is the interest that they receive from getting the money paid back. That's what doesn't make sense to me jackass, I can read perfectly fine. You have some paranoid fear that every banker works the exact same way and that they are all corrupt.
@zildjianuo7 Because the banks were forced to loan money under the "fair housing act" crafted by Barney Frank.
In it he mandated that banks loan to minorities whose credit was dubious, then TADA!, THEY COULDN'T PAY THEIR LOANS!!
Now the US banks threatened "martial law" if they weren't bailed out, but the foreign banks did as well for the toxic loans (whose ratings were rated AAA by US agencies) that were packaged as investment vehicles for them
@zildjianuo7 Such a proclamation negates the simple fact that it is mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for the debts to be repaid. The banks risk nothing, all the risk is quietly put into those that provide the signs of nature, never knowing that the system is designed to induce poverty and dispossess the very people.
The banking system is one of the crucial problems facing mankind right now, to deny that is to remain in abject ignorance of the plight of billions of people. It ends now
this is great! I only hope they can keep this up. We need a way to stop the government facilitation of abusing citizens because of corporate greed and abuse!!! No, it is not too much to ask for descent living situations; it should be a right, not a privilege. Ashamed is the feeling that comes to me when I see this going on. This might be you next !!!!!!!! Be heard now, or else.....
That was quite moving, it's not much to ask for a decent home. How do they auction off houses in court, do they sell for pennies on the dollar? Did the cops arrest some of the activists for singing out of tune? Good effort folks. Den U.K.
@denzlepob "How do they auction off houses in court, do they sell for pennies on the dollar?" yep, that's exactly what they do in the land of freedom. i know of 'house flippers' here in the states that pick up foreclosed homes for ~$10K and sell for ~$100k. that happened to my neighbor suffering MD with a less than five year prognosis after he couldn't keep up on his medical bills AND mortgage. in the land of the free you are free to roll off into the ditch and die.

If I borrow money from someone (a loan) and I sign to an agreed price to agreed terms, for an agreed amount of time....can I just back out?
Nope. Even if the person or entity I had said contract with is a huge scumbag (like the BANKS)?
Nope. I'd be in jail.
Banks LYING to you is one issue, which you have a right to fight in court.
When you sign on the dotted line, it's YOUR bag. Banks might do "predatory lending" but you're stupid to engage them in THEIR schemes.
Hard to have sympathy.

You say "Banks LYING to you is one issue" - but it is the same issue. If you mislead someone into signing an agreement, that is not legal and that document is no longer legally binding.

@RandomShellAccount - Whilst you are correct at the "get what you pay for" analogy, there is no legal grounding for any mortgage anywhere in the world. All mortgages are actually null and void contracts, as the banks have no legitimate consideration. The money that pays for it, only comes into existence on paper at the time the contract is signed, it IS NOT guaranteed on existing reserves. A similar practice brings money into existence in the first place. Look up fractional reserve lending :)

If you expect people to sympathize with people who want their homes for free, you won't get much of it.
I worked and paid off my home with much "deferment of gratification", that is what's needed in the US.

@dgl1962 "immediate moratorium until loans are made fair and sustainable" is not wanting their homes for free. How many of these Americans losing their homes were forced to help bail out these banks?
McSchweddy 4 months ago
@McSchweddy "Fair & sustainable" can be interpreted in a hundred ways, especially by the portions of this group who think they shouldn't have to pay for their homes.
Yes, the bankers at Wallstreet & the FED suck for getting us into this mess, but citizens who bought homes knew & agreed to the price at closing.
They knew what their mortgage would be.
They knew for how long it would last.
Many took out loans to buy cars, bling & bullshit.

"Many took out loans to buy cars, bling & bullshit."
I work with more than a few people who did this.

@dgl1962 Banks love to give out loans to people who can't afford to pay it back . The more debt to them the better . Of course people shhould know better , but how are you supposed to convince your neighbour/friend/family member or whatever that it's not wise ? The banks took advantage of the stupid people and we all have to pay , including you and me who have no debt and are responsible with money . The system is rigged , open your eyes .

@OnTheLambda con't : Taxes to bail out the banks so they can lend out more to these spendthrifts ? There needs to be some regulation or just let the banks fail and no more bailouts . The people will end up owning nothing while the bankers have it all , that includes everything you've worked so hard for too .
OnTheLambda 4 months ago
@OnTheLambda No, banks do not like to give loans tro people that cannot pay them back since THEY DON'T GET PAID BACK.
The sysetm is rigged by your government who were bribed into giving bailouts to the bankers for the losses that you claim they didn't mind incurring.

@zildjianuo7 You can't read.
My point was that if I were a banker who knew that I could get a bailout for loans that went bad that I would make riskier loans than I would normally.
Get it?
dgl1962 4 months ago
@dgl1962 Why the hell would someone risk losing their money just because they knew that they could spend even more money and time to try and bribe someone to bail them out? The whole point of giving out loans as a banker is the interest that they receive from getting the money paid back. That's what doesn't make sense to me jackass, I can read perfectly fine. You have some paranoid fear that every banker works the exact same way and that they are all corrupt.
zildjianuo7 4 months ago
@zildjianuo7 Because the banks were forced to loan money under the "fair housing act" crafted by Barney Frank.
In it he mandated that banks loan to minorities whose credit was dubious, then TADA!, THEY COULDN'T PAY THEIR LOANS!!
Now the US banks threatened "martial law" if they weren't bailed out, but the foreign banks did as well for the toxic loans (whose ratings were rated AAA by US agencies) that were packaged as investment vehicles for them
Where have you been the last 3 years?
Jackass.

@zildjianuo7 Such a proclamation negates the simple fact that it is mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for the debts to be repaid. The banks risk nothing, all the risk is quietly put into those that provide the signs of nature, never knowing that the system is designed to induce poverty and dispossess the very people.
The banking system is one of the crucial problems facing mankind right now, to deny that is to remain in abject ignorance of the plight of billions of people. It ends now

That was quite moving, it's not much to ask for a decent home. How do they auction off houses in court, do they sell for pennies on the dollar? Did the cops arrest some of the activists for singing out of tune? Good effort folks. Den U.K.

@denzlepob "How do they auction off houses in court, do they sell for pennies on the dollar?" yep, that's exactly what they do in the land of freedom. i know of 'house flippers' here in the states that pick up foreclosed homes for ~$10K and sell for ~$100k. that happened to my neighbor suffering MD with a less than five year prognosis after he couldn't keep up on his medical bills AND mortgage. in the land of the free you are free to roll off into the ditch and die.
