Not a single other American should be thrown into the street given the vast corruption that exists in our nation’s financial and legal processes.
Americans now understand that their government has turned against them.
Billions of dollars of our tax money has been shoveled into the coffers of the banks, Wall Street and their benefactors in Congress and in state houses all across this country.
Martin Luther King Jr. taught us all that it was unjust to follow immoral laws or laws which were repugnant to more important legal or Constitutional principles. We have arrived at another epoch in American history where it has become apparent that the Will of The People has been subsumed by The Power of The Corporations.
The corporations are fighting back, and they are winning….taking away more of our freedoms, passing laws to silence dissent and punish those that speak out. CISPA and NDAA and a whole host of other state, local and federal laws establish more and more a corporate fascist police state.
The story below illustrates two important points. First, we as taxpayers shoveled billions at banks who refuse to make humane decisions. What sense does it make to throw a disabled woman into the street? As a taxpayer with a vested interest in the nationalized institutions that wield so much power…and do so because the have the benefits and protections of the federal government and my taxpayer dollars…I demand that no institution or investor take precedence over the welfare of individuals and families. This family stays in this home, making mortgage payments that reflect the investment we all made in the banks and institutions.
Second, no law that restricts or impedes the right of Americans to protest or speak out should be respected. The local ordinance described in this story is a perfect example of this. The rich and powerful made their money off the backs of the American people. They should not be permitted to suck the very life away from the citizens of this nation, then hide away inside the enclaves they’ve built for themselves. Neither should they be sheltered and protected from the inconvenient consequences of their destruction by the civil servants who likewise have suffered, and will continue to suffer under the misery they have wrought upon this nation.
These industries that are effectively nationalized cannot accept all of the benefits of nationalization without likewise accepting the very real consequences, all of the consequences, that flow from this elevated status. They are no longer responsible and accountable only to their own boards and shareholders, they are equally accountable to every single taxpayer who, as a result of extraordinary government intervention, now have a very real, vested and personal stake in every business decision.
SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW SHAREHOLDER, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Make no mistake, and it bears repeating every single time. We must all honor the principles of non violent protest, and execute all expressions of protest through peaceful and organized methods. In the context of foreclosure, this must principally be expressed through the exhaustion of all legal processes that are available before, during and after any other form of protest. Every case must be defended and every motion, every paper, every step forward must be met with a measured and appropriate response. Every loss must be carefully examined and brought for rehearing, then appeal where warranted. Never again are we to permit a bank to take a home the easy way. In today’s legal, ethical, moral, economic and social environment, laying down and allowing a home to be ripped away by a nationalized institution is a violation of fundamental Constitutional rights. The American people can simply no longer ignore the linear connection between the benefits we have provided to our oppressors and the tyranny they continue to visit upon their benefactors.
There comes a time when the tide must turn and that time is surely now.
Think about that as you read the story of a woman arrested for protesting her forced removal from her home, Wells Fargo
