The powerful mortgage industry, that almost brought down the entire global economy with their casino mentality, continues to generate mountains of fraudulent documents to kick families out on the streets and steal years off of innocent citizens lives by keeping them entangled in ludicrous legal shenanigans.
Below is one of the latest stories of one woman, Barbara Bratton.
For Immediate Release
UPDATE: Barbara Bratton – Out On Bail Defrauded Homeowner Jailed As Domestic Terrorist
Friday, June 28, 2013: San Bernardino, CA.
Homeowners’ rights advocate Barbara Bratton was released on bail early this morning after spending two weeks detained as a felon on charges of forgery, burglary and offering false documents for allegedly filing a corrective deed at the San Bernardino County Recorder’s office. Homeowners sometimes use corrective deeds as a preliminary step towards court recognition of systemic land title fraud on their home.
At a Wednesday hearing in San Bernardino Superior Court, Ms. Bratton’s attorneys argued that she showed no criminal intent, had no criminal record and posed no flight risk. Bail was reduced from $250,000 to $150,000. Terms require Ms. Bratton and her associates to stay away from her family home of 40 years as well as from the couple who wrongfully obtained the property from her. A preliminary hearing is set for August.
Since 2008, Barbara Bratton, a native of the City of Ontario, CA. and life-long member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in that city, has been engaged in a determined legal battle to win back her home. In an apparent attempt to intimidate her, the office of San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos accused Ms. Bratton of being a domestic terrorist associated with the “sovereign citizens” – a charge wholly without merit. She has never identified herself as a sovereign citizen, nor does she support their views.
At least six officers were assigned to assist the District Attorney’s office with the case. FBI agents were also present in court. Ms. Bratton’s arrest comes at a time of growing public dissatisfaction with domestic surveillance and other gross violations of civil and human rights since passage of the Patriot Act after 9/11.
Barbara Bratton believes in and is in full compliance with the U.S. Constitution, which is why she is fighting a strictly legal battle to win back her home. These trumped up charges appear to be a desperate attempt by county and city officials to divert public attention from the real crimes: the powerful home mortgage industry [[1] ] that has generated mountains of fraudulent documents that continue to pollute property records in San Bernardino County – a county with some of the highest foreclosure rates in the country. Until land title fraud is weeded out from public property records, judges will continue to sanction illegal foreclosures and bankers and home loan servicers who nearly brought down the U.S. economy will go unpunished.
Look, they’ve tried to make this “too complicated” for most of us to understand for a reason. Let me break it down for you. But first I have to warn you. This is going to upset a lot of people, especially if you own a home, and most especially if you’ve recently lost it in foreclosure.
The titles to our homes are in our names and on the public record. When we “borrowed” our own money we gave a promissory note to the bank. The bank exchanged the deed and possession of the house for the promissory note. A simple exchange and an executed complete contract paid by Operation of Law. At that point you have a valid contract with consideration and exchange of valuable property.The bank then sells the promissory note, our value and property which we gave to the bank, into the open market in the form of a “security”. 70% of these securities are guaranteed or backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or FHA, all government-sponsored enterprises (GSE’s). These GSE’s are now being held, insolvent (deemed unable to pay a debt), under the Federal Housing Finance Agency which has legal control over the BAIL OUT.So in other words, the bank took our value, sold it, decided that our value was a debt that we would never be able to pay and therefore worthless, and now our value is being held by the branch of our government – our employees – that gave even more of our value back to the banks in the bail outs.
When the bank sold the promissory note as a security, they were paid. The value of our promissory note was passed from the bank to the party that bought the security. But somehow, the banks still act like they are the ones with our promissory notes, and they proceed in making us pay 20+ years of mortgage payments for a value that they were already paid for, which they then deemed worthless after they were paid, not once – from the sale of the security – but twice, from the bailouts. The only party that could have any claim against our homes are the ones that bought our promissory notes from the bank. Yet the banks foreclose on us and throw families out of their homes out onto the street? Why? Because they need to be paid with our value a third time? How does that work??????
Honestly, I’m just stumped and at a loss here. Why are we not rioting over this? Why are we not outraged? How is it that women like Barbara Bratton and so many more of my close personal FRIENDS AND FAMILY are STILL going through this nonsense in court, when it is so OBVIOUSLY AND BLATENTLY WRONG????? INHUMANE!!!
Pass and share this story please. Help me help others to see the fraud here so that hopefully we can stand up to this and do the right thing! It’s time to take our value back from the casino lords!
Hope
