Proof of U.S. Greater Depression

The statistical charlatans at work for the U.S. government can pretend there is positive GDP growth. They can pretend there is positive jobs growth. But they cannot pretend to consume energy.

The Foreclosure Fraud Fantasy

A deal does not fix the housing market; it only makes things worse by permanently entrenching all this systemic fraud into the U.S. legal system. It throws away the states’ right to compensation at a time when they still don’t have the slightest idea of the total extent of Wall Street fraud.

The Real Nightmare of U.S. Mortgage-Fraud

U.S. banksters (with Bank of America being one of the worst offenders) have flooded U.S. land-title registries (and even U.S. courts) with millions of fraudulent and/or forged documents.

There isn’t.”
