First Dana Perino, and now Rudy Giuliani, say on TV that 9/11 didn't happen while Bush was president. Each has said that there were no terrorist attacks in America under Bush & Cheney. Therefore, they're saying that 9/11 either: 1) didn't happen, or 2) wasn't a terrorist attack. Maybe they can put that bit of history in ConservaPedia. Of course, the media doesn't stop them from saying this on TV! SPECIAL HISTORICAL NOTE TO DITTOHEADS AND FOX "NEWS" VIEWERS AND REPUBLICANS: 9/11 WAS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ATTACK THAT HAPPENED IN THE UNITED STATES WHILE BUSH & CHENEY WERE PRESIDENT - 3,000 DIED, NOT ZERO LIKE THE UNDERPANTS BOMBER. The media is afraid to say 3,000 AMERICANS DIED ON 9/11 AND BUSH WAS PRESIDENT! How was this accomplished, that it's "off limits" for the media to say Bush was president on 9/11 and 3,000 Americans died? Why is it that the media has been conditioned ONLY to say "after 9/11" or "post 9/11" when speaking of Bush?

According to reports Schuringa was on his way to visit an 'Israeli friend', Shai Ben-Ami who owns a restaurant in Miami. The flight landed at around noon on Christmas day, and by that afternoon Ben-Ami had become Schuringa's impromptu PR manager, aggressively negotiating fees for interviews and the couple of cell phone pictures that Schuringa had taken of Mutallab as he was being taken off the plane.
Eyewitnesses on the flight also reported that after Mutallab was taken off the plane the FBI arrested another Indian-looking man in Detroit airport. The FBI has since denied that anyone else was involved.

John Courson, president and C.E.O. of the Mortgage Bankers Association, recently told The Wall Street Journal that homeowners who default on their mortgages should think about the “message” they will send to “their family and their kids and their friends.
”Brent White, a University of Arizona law professor...is surprised that more people haven’t walked. He thinks the desire to avoid shame is a factor, as are overblown fears of harm to credit ratings. Probably, homeowners also labor under a delusion that their homes will quickly return to value. White has argued that the government should stop perpetuating default “scare stories” and, indeed, should encourage borrowers to default when it’s in their economic interest. This would correct a prevailing imbalance: homeowners operate under a “powerful moral constraint” while lenders are busily trying to maximize profits. More important, it might get the system unstuck. If lenders feared an avalanche of strategic defaults, they would have an incentive to renegotiate loan terms. In theory, this could produce a wave of loan modifications — the very goal the Treasury has been pursuing to end the crisis.

I did this in 2004. Our house was worth $80,000 and we owed $130,000 on it. I stopped paying my mortgage, someone bought the our home in foreclosure for $33,000 and then I bought it off them for $60,000 and we never set foot out of our house.
But I didn't do it on purpose. In 2004, my wife lost her job and she got cancer and I lost my job. We had zero income and stopped paying the mortgage. It was one of those subprime mortgages, too. With Household Finance. The rate was around 20% when everyone else was paying 5%.
I called Household Finance and asked them to lower my rate to 5% and I would keep paying the mortgage. They said basically "go fuck yourself". I explained to them that the house was worth $80,000 and I owe them $130,000 and they would lose $50,000 and got the same answer from them. My mortgage would've been cut way more than half the amount if they lowered it to 5%
So, they lost MORE than $50,000 because it went for $33,000 in the foreclosure auction: $130,000 - $33,000 = $97,000 loss.
I called them and told them: "Ha! Now you lost $97,000 - don't you wish you took my offer of lowering it to 5%? I would've continued paying you!"

US-Led Forces Accused of Executing Schoolchildren in Afghanistan
ReplyDeleteKhost-children
In Afghanistan, hundreds have taken to the streets of Kabul and elsewhere to protest the US killing of civilians. The incident that has sparked the most outrage took place in eastern Kunar on December 27th, when ten Afghans, eight of them schoolchildren, were killed. According to the Times of London, US-led troops dragged innocent children from their beds and shot them during a nighttime raid. Afghan government investigators said the eight students were aged from eleven to seventeen, all but one of them from the same family.

Huge NYC apartment complex misses loan payment
ReplyDeleteSource: Reuters
NEW YORK, Jan 8 (Reuters) - The joint venture led by Tishman Speyer and BlackRock Inc that owns New York City's vast Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village apartment complex on Friday said it missed making its full loan payment, moving the deal one step closer toward possible foreclosure.
Credit agencies had warned that the joint venture, has seen the complex's value collapse by more than half since buying it for $5.4 billion in 2006, would likely default as it burned through reserves during a court battle over whether it could deregulate rents and raise them to market prices as swiftly as planned.
. . . .
The joint venture, which bought the 1940s-era complex near the peak of the real estate market, struggled to keep the deal afloat as property values declined during its lengthy court fight with tenants over whether it could raise rents.
In October, New York's top court ruled that the joint venture had wrongly tried to raise apartment rents rates to higher market levels. .
