    • economic crisis   U.S. foreclosure filings in 2008 rose 81% from 2007

    U.S. foreclosure filings in 2008 rose 81% from 2007 and tripled from 2006, RealtyTrac reported on Wednesday. A total of nearly 3.16 million foreclosure filings — measured by default notices, auction-sale notices, and bank repossessions — were reported in 2008. The Irvine, Calif., consultant also said that 1.84% of all U.S. housing units –1 of every 54 — received at least one foreclosure filing during the year, up from 1.03% in 2007. In December, foreclosure filings were reported on more than 303,000 U.S. properties. That’s up 17% from November and 41% from the year-earlier month, RealtyTrac reported. In the fourth quarter, foreclosure activity rose 40% from the year-earlier quarter. “Clearly the foreclosure-prevention programs implemented to date have not had any real success in slowing down this foreclosure tsunami,” Chief Executive Officer James J. Saccacio said in a statement.

      So who will occupy all these vaccant houses?!

      I think there are plenty of chinese that can fill them up when they execute their hostile takeover.

      Eggrolls anyone?!

      The people from Iraq should live in these homes,payback for the invation,a stupid nation that loves war,now pay for youre war with youre homes and jobs.

    3. Bloated_Fury Says:

      I personally know people who are losing their homes. It’s not just the subprime people but others who have lost jobs and health insurance. Subprime or not, a mortgage requires income. How did we ever get to the point where we have to borrow to have a home or shelter. Isn’t food, clothing and shelter some of the basic needs all people require? How have they reduced us to become indebted for those basic requirements. The banks used to be called “Savings and Trust” and now they are “Savings and Loan” but they give you the interest rate on loans and credit cards they should give you on your savings. WE’RE LEFT WITH TWO CHOICES; SUBMIT OR FIGHT!

      FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!

      If you know someone in foreclosure, FIGHT BACK, the New World Order…put the bank on notice and stop it, 100% effective in all states! http://nobankfear.synthasite.com/ YOU’RE CRAZY IF YOU DON’T!

    6. NWO4NO1 Says:

      With http://nobankfear.synthasite.com/ you get to stop foreclosure, stay in your home, most of the time without making payments until you can get back on your feet many months later!

      Where are these people going?
      They are vanishing off our media’s radar screen.
      Are they in tent cities? Living on the street.
      Some needs to set up a WEBSITE TO REGISTER AND KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES SO THAT WE CAN BE SURE THEY ARE GETTING HELP.
      The Zionist Neocon mafia stole their homes through a financial crash they engineered and publicised.
      The Zionist Neocon media will not report on the victims.
      Someone else has to find out what is happening to these people and bring their plight to the attention of the Americans and world.

    11. Killuminati Says:

      I’ve seen houses vacant for several years now. I don’t think the banks can keep up with them all. I think people should just move into one and have the utilities turned on and change the locks. You might get kicked out eventually, but after how many months of free rent? If I were facing being homeless, I might consider that over a shelter or FEMA camp. If everybody did this all at once, what could they do?

    12. Jackson Says:

      Agenda 21. Sustainable developement. It goes hand and hand with the engineered financial collapse.

    13. Neocon Narc Says:

      The one thought that never comes to mind.
      With all those people being foreclosed on..what kind of credit future do they and Banks have to look for.

      Seems like no one is going to even qualify to borrow money after this crunch. Or banks are going to have to try even riskier loans.

    14. labrat7 Says:

      Most people don’t really own their homes. The banks own those homes. Most people will be dead before they ever pay off the loan. The ownership society is a lie. Most homeowners are glorified renters. Once upon a time you didn’t need a 200,000$ loan just to put a roof over your head.

      IF THEY TRY TO EVICT YOU JUST BURN DOWN THE HOUSE…..SCORCHED EARTH!

    15. Washington Says:

      You foolish uneducated idiots were all warned all through out history that if the bankers were ever allowed to issue and control your currency, instead of Congress and the American People, they would eventually leave you homeless on the continent your forefathers conquered.

      They are leaving you homeless, and if you aren’t one yet, just be patient for they are coming for you, all in good time by their design, not our forefathers.

      1913 changed the structure and events that are now taking place. On December 23rd, 1913, Congress gave away the United States authority to control and issue it’s own currency. Nothing has been more destructive and deadly to this nation and it’s people than the creation of the private criminal cabal called the Federal Reserve System. They have left a trail of dead bodies from Presidents to Prime Ministers to Political figures, and even and including crashing airliners, and sinking ships. They have killed anyone or anything that would ever attempt or grab any attention that might expose to the people the true disease killing this nation, and continue to do so today behind secrets and lies.

      To much talk about what’s going on and why. Our forefathers knew the deadly entity these bankers were and thus why they did all they could with fighting and killing to rid this nation of them. Yet, the bankers waited for the idiots to go to sleep and came back stronger and with far more malice in their hearts.

      There’s two easy scenarios here folks. Kill the Central Bank or the Central Bank will kill you.
      Enough Said.

    16. Dan Says:

      wait till you see the numbers from the end of 2009.

      I wonder at what point they’ll either stop reporting or stop taking these figures.

      Probably when people are buying and selling homes with food. I’d guess.

      NO WORRIES! Barry Sotero takes office on Tuesday! He & his minions have assured us that everything is going to be o.k.! There’s plenty of affordable housing available at your local FEMA camp!! Rents there are cheap, however, the lease agreements are EXTREMELY SHORT TERM! It’s so reassuring that our government is ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR US!

    18. Bob Herron Says:

      The 2009 Depression will be different than 1929. The Government is going to set-up
      picnic benches and serve hot meals. Next to everyone’s plate will be a stack of money.
      People will leave the picnic table on a full stomach and money in their pockets.
      Pretty nice…hah ?

      My father has some 50 properies he rents. I told him 8 months ago to sell up as fast as possible and buy a hole to live inwith some gold. now he is on the brink of going under and now listens to what I say. I’m sure he will add a few percentage points to the above figures. things need to get bad before we wake up enough to change how we think.

      I know Billie Meier and his people. There is a major campaign in the US and in Switzerland to discredit him and his photos. They even broke him apart from his wife and family, causing Billie to flee way high up into the mountains to get away from all the bombardment.

      Those photos are not from him. This is false information from an organization that is an arm of the Illuminati disinformation program. There are websites out there that trash me and my work as well. There are people out there making false accusations against me and anyone else who may have truths to tell.

      In the end, you must decide for yourself. If I have to convince anyone, the information is already lost. One day, when it is too late, the truth will be public. By then, everyone who believes the disinformants will be under total control and regret that they believed the falsehoods. It’s up to you. You can continue to look for information that supports lies, or you can discern the truth for yourself. -Stewart Swerdlow
