Watch Paul Simon Perform 'Sound of Silence' at the 9/11 Memorial
Paul Simon was supposed to perform "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at the World Trade Center site today. He did "Sound of Silence" instead, not that we're complaining: NPR's Margot Adler called it "perhaps the most moving moment of the ceremony,"

Foreclosure Crisis: The Banksters PR Machine
As the Foreclosure, Housing crisis continues and drags on, Banks maintain their PR war against the victims. Just last week, Bank of America announced the opening of more "Help Centers" to assist homeowners with their mortgages. We know the results of such "Help Centers", the homeowner is asked to bring all the documentation, fill out a massive paperwork and to wait for a decision on a later date. What happens next has been broadly publicized, Paperwork is lost, misplaced or simple rejected. In some cases, as a matter of PR, some mortgages are only on "Temporal Modification". At the end of the day, the numbers don't lie, homeowners are not helped.
The Banks have enjoyed billions in bailouts from taxpayers, but like the story of the snake that was found almost dead, you took it in, help her to health and when back to life, the snake will always be a snake, it will come back to bite.

It's Time To File Your Complaint: The Review Of Foreclosure Practices
Recently Federal Regulators ordered Banks to review 2009-2010 Foreclosures. Possible compensations may be on the works to millions of foreclosed victims. If you are a homeowner who have suffered a questionable foreclosure during the above dates, we advice that you file your complain with your State Attorney so that you stay on record as a victim of a questionable foreclosure. Remember, our elected officials need to hear from those who elected them to Office. Call, write and make appointments to let them know how the Banksters have stolen from you.
Details are being worked on how they will go ahead with the reviews. Homeowners and advocates are watching developments. ProPublica is also closely watching developments, and they are also taking your stories.
We will continue to follow this story.

Navigating The Legal System Alone
Homeowners across America continue to struggle and fight for their homes in every City of the United States of America. While homeowners seek for help and assistance from our Government Agencies, Representatives and Public Officials , the Banks continue to push Citizens out of their homes without challenge and opposition. The Court System is broke and can not handle the wave of cases they face.
In case you don't know, Criminal cases, such as murders, rape and battery take priority over Fraud and Illegal Evictions. The Banksters know this very well. They enjoy the unlimited financial resources they have and pay top dollar Attorneys to fight homeowners and steal their homes. This problems are not publicized at all.
Homeowners left to fight alone
The Obama Administration and the 50 State Attorney's General have turned their backs on helping homeowners when it comes to "Legal Representation". Advocates have asked that "Legal Representation" be part of settlements with Banks and so far they have closed their ears to our requests. The banks are full aware of this and knowing that, they have rolled and pushed families out into the streets without challenge.
Again, homeowners have become victims of the system that is supposed to protect them. Lets not forget, "Homeowners pay for the Justice System to operate and to uphold Law in this Country", yet they can not get a fair shake when it comes to Justice.
Again we ask, why tax payers have to pay for the sins of the Banks? Why do we have to "Bail them out"? Why are victimized Homeowners not given free Legal Assistance to have fair and equal representation when fighting their cases?

More is expected
The Hawaii State Bar Association announced today of a program allowing their young attorneys assist homeowners in their legal affairs with their homes. That is good, but not enough.
Government Agencies, Elected Officials Attorney Generals and Bar Associations need to step up and help victimized homeowners. We need a Legal System that is Just and Equal to all. It's time to do the right thing in the name of Justice.

Voices: The American Dream ,Corruption and the Victimized Homeowners
It´s so hard for government planners, no matter how sophisticated, to ever substitute for millions of individuals working night and day to make their dreams come true. Ronald Reagan
"In the end, all of us are paying a price for this mortgage crisis. And all of us will pay an even steeper price if we allow this crisis to continue to deepen...." President Obama explained. "But if we act boldly and swiftly to arrest this downward spiral, every American will benefit." President Obama
"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be itelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the National Legislature..If the next centennial does not find us a great nation..it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces." James Garfield in 1877
"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God" Thomas Jefferson
Corruption is worse than prostitution. The latter might endanger the morals of an individual, the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire Country. Karl Kraus
I weep for the liberty of my Country when I see at the early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office. Andrew Jackson
"It is not acceptable for a party who believes they submitted false court documents to merely replace those documents". Attorney General Richard Cordray
"The mortgage services hired people who would never question authority". Attorney Peter Ticktin, msnbc Oct. 13, 2010
"The paperwork problems range from potentially forged documents to bank employees who never read borrower's files before signing off on an eviction.."While we don't expect our review to find that consumers were harmed, we will take appropriate action if we find any impact." JP Morgan spokesman Tom Kelly, Washington Post Sep 29, 2010
"Obviously the banks do not want to grapple with the consequences of trillions of dollars of securitized mortgages having no legal standing.." Former Rep. Grayson
"Maybe this is like shock therapy. Maybe this will actually get the lenders to the table and encourage them to work out deals that are to the benefit of everybody." Economist Karl E. Case quoted in the New York Times
"The U.S. banking industry is entering a new period of crisis where operating cost are rising dramatically due to foreclosures and defaults. We are less than 1/4 of the way through the foreclosure process." Chris Whalen
"We are serious about getting it right. This is our time and we know that." A.G. Miller
"You can count on us! You can count of 50 A.G's." A.G. Miller
"How long must the American people work second jobs to stay in our homes? Shirley Broomfield
"The kind of fraud that got us into this crisis is intolerable." A.G. Miller
"Everything done is done by the judge who is there to protect the rights of the borrower and lender.." said Tew, "David Stern didn't create that problem, he is representing banks who are entitled to foreclose. Since he is the visible person, he will get a lot of bad publicity. There's been a huge train wreck and David is like the surgeon in the ER, he is part of the process." Attorney Jeffrey Tew, representing David Stern
"Negative equity holds millions of borrowers captive in their homes, unable to move or sell their properties" Mark Fleming, Economist quoted on Huffintong Post
On proposed Banks Settlement for Illegal foreclosures"verges on extortion" Rep. Randy Neugebauer 3/17/11 Huffington Post
"Ending HAMP now, without a meaningful alternative in place, would mean that struggling homeowners would have far fewer ways of coping with the worst housing crisis in generations" Timothy Massad, Treasury Dept. Acting Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability
I think all lawyers should be on contingencies. It forces them to do the right thing. I don't know if the hourly lawyer has the same incentives to get to the bottom line. I think the whole world should be on a contingency basis. If you don't cure the problem, you shouldn't be paid.
Interview with attorney Thomas V. Girardi, Mortgage Servicing Fraud
"There is a way to modify people's loans so they can stay in their homes," A.G. Madigan said. "That requires principal reduction. That is the only way for us to make some people be able to stay in and saave their homes." Any settlement must include restitution to those who lost their homes to fraudulent practices. If her office must litigate, it will. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, WGIL Radio Network 6/23/11
“This evidence has made it clear to me that the only way we can ever determine the total economic loss and the amount damage done to the taxpayers is by conducting a full forensic audit of all registry of deeds in Massachusetts. I suspect that at the end of the day we are going to find that the taxpayers have been bilked in this state alone of over 400 million dollars not including the accrued interest plus costs and penalties. The Audit makes the finding that this was not only a MERS problem, but a scheme also perpetuated by MERS shareholder banks such Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan and others. I am stunned and appalled by the fact that America’s biggest banks have played fast and loose with people’s biggest asset – their homes. This is disgusting, and this is criminal”. MA Register, John O'Brian
“It’s like giving aspirin to someone with cancer,” he said of the proposed assistance. “You had all the big players at the top of the pyramid negotiating but nobody was speaking for the homeowners who have far more at stake at the ground level.” Matthew Weidner, Florida Lawyer, N.Y. Times 7/11/11
