What to Do about Banks

There have been increasing numbers of suicides and arsons done by people who's homes have been foreclosed upon by banks, more often than not through predatory lending and fraudulent accounting. These suicides are proof of the despair and anti-human activities pursued by the banking industry as a whole. The man recently accused of massacring over a dozen Afghans had his home foreclosed upon only days before the alleged events, and this was the SECOND time that the banks had caused him to lose his home within a five year period. What he did was horrific, but the banks had a role in it as well. In fact the bank that screwed him was charged and fined, though a poultry amount, for predatory practices. These suicides and other acts of desperation are increasing in both numbers and scale and yet they are not reported upon in the mainstream media. I don't think I need to spell out why.

There's plenty more where that came from, mostly from local news sources with very few from the mainstream ones. If you want another take on this ghastly phenomenon watch the video below from 30:00 to 42:30.

It's getting worse.

Wow. Utterly shameful with the foreclosures. So many vets come home broken by what they experienced in the theater. PTSD runs rampant, wives and husbands leave soldiers before their return, homes are foreclosed on and I really think that many that come home to no home or supportive family wind up street-bound homeless persons.

Not to derail your original point of banking foreclosures, Red Aegis...just got me to thinking about the vicious cycle that befalls numerous vets. Man.

No problem. Things like that can never be pointed out too much.
