A bit about Charles Lincoln

28. June 2009 by Spiritual Patriot.

We live in a time, and under an economic system, the artificiality and dishonesty of which is unparalleled in human history. The modern world economy is based on deceitful governmental promises, which are given in exchange for the right to sell worthless paper around the world. This sort of system is too insane, too irrational, and to perverse ever to have evolved naturally. The modern economy is a creature of cunning and artifice to fool everyone into believing in the reality of things, which do not exist because there is no rational need to posit their existence. The road to discovering the reality of the economy is an exploration of intentional deceit then, of “pious frauds” and hidden meanings and purposes.

    

    The discovery of royal deceits, pious frauds, and hidden meanings is sometimes called the science of ‚Äúhermeneutics‚Äù, as practiced by anthropologists, students of comparative mythology, and structural/theoretical historians. So is it any surprise that Charles Edward Lincoln, a 1990 Ph.D. from Harvard University who wrote a doctoral dissertation focused on the comparative hermeneutics of complex political structures in Indo-European, Near Eastern, and Mesoamerican/ New World antiquity as revealed in archaeological and historical data would have ultimately come to study the secret language of money and official artifice in his own culture?

    

    Charles started his amazing journey and hectic life when he was born in Texas in 1960, the son of two Ph.D.s in comparative literature, who took him to live in London when he was six months old. After 1966, he was raised primarily by his grandparents who brought him back to Texas, where he lived in Highland Park, Dallas, Texas and went to elementary school with a colorful set of characters including the children of some major Texas financial and political figures. When he was 11, with his eccentric ‚ÄúAuntie-Mame‚Äù-style grandmother‚Äôs encouragement and support, he accelerated his studies and finished high school at 14 in Los Angeles, at the Hollywood Professional School, where child actors from Judy Garland and Shirley Temple to Melanie Griffith and the Jackson Five had at various time enrolled. 

    

From Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Charles went to Tulane University in New Orleans, where he first became enthralled with the secrets of history and prehistory in the Classical Mediterranean and Non-Western worlds. He finished Phi Beta Kappa, Magna cum Laude in 1980. In addition to a varied academic career at Tulane, Charles was the President of the Tulane College Republicans and organizer of a chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, as well as a participant in campus musical and theatrical productions, even while taking a year off in the middle of his undergraduate degree to work at the Ruins of Copan in Western Honduras with William L. Fash (now Bowditch Professor of Central American & Mexican Archaeology at Harvard) in 1977-78.

 

From Tulane he went on to graduate school at Harvard, at the Peabody Museum, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the same building as the Agassiz Museums of systemic & evolutionary biology, and across Divinity Avenue from the Semitic Museum (dedicated to Near Eastern archaeology & history). These three institutions were Charles‚Äô home for the next ten years.  Between 1980 and 1990, Charles had a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship, was director of a National Geographic archaeological research program at Chichen Itza and several other sites in the State of Yucatan, Mexico, and was a personal guide, advisor, and counselor to the late James A. Michener in all things Mexican, Caribbean, and Native American.  In 1990, he finally completed his doctoral dissertation on ‚ÄúEthnicity and Social Organization‚Äù utilizing and combining the theoretical writings of Georges Dumezil, Claude Levi-Strauss, James G. Frazer, and Marshall Sahlins.  

 

Charles‚Äô dissertation posited, among other things that ‚Äúethnicity‚Äù, ‚Äúethnic conflict‚Äù, and ‚Äúethnic inequality‚Äù functioned, hermeneutically, as world-wide markers of and metaphors for economic, social, and political hierarchy, and that actual the cultural or linguistic differences demarcating the socio-economic and political boundaries were more-often-than-not invented to justify inequality in what were otherwise culturally and linguistically homogeneous societies. Lesson learned: Complex societies depend on socio-economic and political inequality to function. Therefore, the ‚Äúmythic reality‚Äù of ethnic hierarchy is a psychologically powerful and therefore politically necessary expression of or explanation for inequality. It is so powerful that wherever  such inequality does not exist by virtue of ‚Äúhistorical metaphors,‚Äù enactments, or performances of actual conquest of one group by another, people (especially the elite in charge) will invent false ‚Äúhistorical‚Äù of such differences and that story will be the constitutional foundation of society.   

 

The “deconstruction” or analysis of such demonstrably inaccurate stories of ethic migration, conquest, and outside was Charles’ first major foray into “heremeneutics”, although he had a life-time interest in comparative mythology and the relationship between mythology and history, of reality and fiction, of the “contradictions inherent in all things.”

Troubled by many things, but among them by the practical irrelevance of studying ancient societies to the economic, political, and social problems of the modern world, of which Charles had always been acutely aware, Charles’ life and career made yet another branch or turn, and Charles completed a J.D. in comparative law at the Law School of the University of Chicago in 1992.

 

 

STATEMENT: 

 

So you‚re losing your (a) house, (b) family, (c) assets, (d) mind?

 

    We can help you with three out of four of these directly, but the way we can help you will not appeal to you if you have a ‚Äúget rich quick‚Äù or ‚Äúsomething for nothing‚Äù mentality.  Unfortunately, in my experience, too many people think that there are easy and simple solutions to complex problems.  There are none.  There are certain ‚Äúfree lunches‚Äù out there, but ultimately the price of relying on free lunches is that you lose all other forms of freedom you might have.

 

    In ancient Roman law, there was a special form of litigation called the Vindicatio.  This was the most complex lawsuit known in the ancient world, and the most serious.  Its purpose was to clear, protect, or recover (i.e. ‚Äúvindicate‚Äù) title to lost land, or other economically essential, necessary property such as agricultural tools, horses, cattle, and slaves.  The Vindicatio then, was litigation arising from disputes over the ‚Äúmode of production‚Äù, the infrastructure, the very basis of economic life in ancient Rome.   It was a comprehensive lawsuit, far broader in scope than normal, either in ancient or modern times, including as it did all aspects of the law: constitutional, contractual, equitable, familial, and successional (i.e. inherited) rights were all relevant to the resolution of the Latin Vindicatio.

 

    Our purpose here is to teach you how to wage your own Vindicatio in the modern courts.  If you want a free lunch, this isn‚Äôt it.  If you want a simple solution to a complex problem, you can forget about it.  If you feel that you are fighting for not only for your life but for your and your children‚Äôs way of life, if you would like to feel that someday you will truly own your property without owing debts to anyone, and if you are willing to fight very hard, like a ‚Äúrebel with a clue‚Äù, then sit down, and look listen, and learn, because you are in the right place.  

 

We can (a) teach you how to fight, (b) give you the equipment, the tools, and the weapons needed to fight, and/or (c) take over your fight and fight in your place, ‚Äúin your stead for your homestead‚Äù as it were.  But you have to be willing to work very hard, and fight very hard, understanding that we are standing on a historical precipice.  In exchange for some bowls of porridge, for a few free lunches as it were, we are being asked to give up our birthrights to private property and freedom of contract.  

 

As we stand on this precipice, with the offers of free lunch in front of us, we are looking into the gaping jaws of state-run socialist/communist/totalitarian hell.  We at Deo Vindice say that we want to turn around from that precipice, turn down the offers of free lunch, bowls of porridge for our birthright, and reclaim the dream of that shining city on a hill where we can guarantee our own freedom by our own private property, our own time, toil, and talent, our own blood, sweat, toil, and tears.  But please note, we used the work ‚Äútoil‚Äù twice in that last sentence, because work is the only hope any of us have at all.

 

    The Obama administration is trying to figure out how to save the American financial elite, by which I mean, among others, the folks at my own almae matri Harvard and Chicago Universities, who embraced Obama and got him elected, by giving out free lunches (or ‚Äúbread and circuses‚Äù if you prefer a directly Roman historical analog).  Every day there‚Äôs new word on the gravy that Obama is spreading around, the bridges he‚Äôs going to build, the roads he‚Äôs going to repair, and the money that may eventually be given directly to homeowners to ‚Äúsave‚Äù their homes.   None if any of this money has yet saved a single home as of March 5, 2009, to the best of my knowledge, but the conquering hero has not yet been enthroned for his first full hundred days as of yet.

 

    All of these government handout programs have two things in common: they neither address the roots of the crisis, nor do they map any route out of it.  The root of the crisis lies in securitized mortgages, collateral backed obligations, mortgage-backed equities—all of these terms meaning the same thing.  What each of these terms mean is that when you took out your mortgage, at least a couple of people got a free lunch, and you were not one of them, but your freedom was put at risk without your knowledge or consent.  

 

The ‚Äúroute out‚Äù of the crisis is to abolish the circumstantial exceptions to some very basic tenets of the common law of contract and property ownership which have dominated American lending increasingly for the past 30 years, exploding in the past 20, consuming us all like cancer for the past 10, and now collapsing in the past two-three years.  The process of selling these loans is sometimes called ‚Äúpredatory lending‚Äù.  It‚Äôs a process, which makes a lot of money for a few people really fast (this becomes the political support basis for the process and system), but the real purpose of this process is just simply to abolish private property and destabilize the family as an autonomous unit in America.  

 

To this end, predatory lending has been coupled with radical ‚Äúconfiscatory‚Äù increases in property taxes to underwrite government programs, in particular, at the local level, an increasingly useless elementary and secondary educational system which teaches children nothing of any value, but least of all any real historical, moral or political philosophy.  Predatory lending encourages, almost requires, everyone to become a debtor who lacks clear title to property so that everyone will move around and be more dependent upon governmental/ corporate largesse and more susceptible to governmental/corporate social control and manipulation.  The end result is a highly (geographically, not so much socially or economically) mobile society of people playing a vast game of ‚Äúmusical chairs‚Äù across the North American Continent.  It is our position at Deo Vindice that the game of musical chairs will ultimately end with a re-establishment of private property, but only those sitting down will win.  We want to achieve, for you and for ourselves, the maximum advantage in place-holdings, the greatest number of chairs, which we will fight to hold on to, and teach YOU how to fight and hold onto, until the day the music dies (when the game of musical chairs is then over).   George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and all the other Yale-Harvard-Chicago school elite in this country, are struggling to keep the music going as long as possible, because they believe that even in a Marxist-Leninist state, the intellectual elite will retain their special privileges as the guiding bureaucracy of the mechanical technocratic state peculiarly appropriate to the post-industrial society in which they believe we will all live.

 

Specifically, the person (mortgage broker) who arranged your loan and the ‚Äúlender‚Äù (or ‚Äúoriginator‚Äù) of the loan both got free lunches: they were paid IMMEDIATELY, or within a few weeks of approving your loan, by the person who bought your loan.   The curious thing is, nobody knows who that is, or at least, it‚Äôs very, very difficult to ascertain.   

 

Notes are bundled into securities and then sold on the open securities market.  Sometimes the physical pieces of paper are preserved and found and can be recovered (and sometimes not) but the  chain of title, the chains of privity of contract, the status of holder in due course, can NEVER be reestablished after securitization unless you bring the OWNER of the securities into court.

 

This situation is illegal, within the traditional bounds of both Roman (Civil, Napoleonic) and Common (Anglo-American) law, because all ‚Äúdebts‚Äù are (a) prepaid to the lender, thus unjustly enriching him with no disclosed benefits to the borrower except the ability to take out a ‚Äúloan‚Äù which would never have otherwise been made at all, (b) collected by someone who is neither in direct nor indirect ‚Äúprivity of contract‚Äù with the borrower, and who is therefore (c) not entitled to collect anything, because he is NOT a ‚Äúholder in due course‚Äù of the borrower‚Äôs note.  (A borrower‚Äôs promissory note is defined by United States ‚ÄúFederal‚Äù law as the equivalent of money, but discussion of that point would lead to a digression in which we should not at present indulge).

 

To put it mildly, creating a situation where you are able immediately to recover 100% of your investment immediately after making it, plus being able to reap marginal returns on your investment forever, is very attractive to those with access to financial resources to lend money (and again, we‚Äôll leave aside in this brief introduction the question of where that money actually comes from, or what the nature of that money really is—it WORKS, and that‚Äôs all we need to know right now).

 

Where you (as a borrower/debtor) are paying money to someone who falsely holds himself out as the ‚Äúholder in due course‚Äù of a note, or as someone in privity with someone who was once in privity with you before transferring the subject matter of the contract (i.e. your promise to pay, your ‚Äúnote‚Äù) to another, you are a victim of fraud.  It‚Äôs a pretty simple fraud, when you look at the basics: someone is claiming to be a person with legal entitlements which he/she/it does not have, and cannot prove.

 

That‚Äôs the easy part.  But as was noted a few paragraphs ago, we are standing on the edge of this gigantic precipice looking down into the jaws of state-controlled socialism/communism/totalitarianism.   We didn‚Äôt get here overnight.  We didn‚Äôt even get here JUST in the past 30 years.  Some people would point to pivotal years in the evolution of a socialistic America as 1913, 1933, or even 1861-65, but really, socialism traces its real roots to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in England and France in the mid-to-late, when changes in technology began to bring about a change in the social-relations of production and greater social and economic inequality than had ever been known in those countries up through the first half of the 18th century.   

 

While the Industrial Revolution was taking hold of Western Europe, however, America was just coming into its own as a viable agrarian society, with very little knowledge of and almost no participation in the technological changes which were about to change society, so America started out as a very conservative place.  American common law, severed from its English ‚Äúmother‚Äù after 1776, preserved in even greater purity the common law guarantees than survived in the king‚Äôs homeland.  And ironically, during the very same years (1789-1793) that the French Revolution started with the final calling and abolition of the monarchical three-part, tri-functional Mediaeval constitutional government, a somewhat more democratic three-part, tri-functional Mediaeval constitutional government was adopted and implemented in the United States of America.

 

All this is only important in that you have to understand the historical stage, and the gravity of what you‚Äôre trying to do if you try to save your home from foreclosure by these ‚Äúbandits‚Äù who operate partly under color of constitutional law, partly under color of common law, while violating all the principles of both, regularly.  If you want to save your home, your family, your property, your assets, and keep your sanity about you, you have to realize that you are now engaged in a great struggle, to determine whether any nation so conceived and so dedicated to the propositions of personal freedom and autonomy through private property and contract, can long endure in the environment of a socialist/communist revolution, specifically a communist Chinese (Maoist) revolution (but that again is a separate story, separate issue).

 

HOW TO FIGHT: THE WAYS OF WAR REQUIRE ADAPTABLE STRATEGIES

 

    Over the past seven years or so, we‚Äôve heard about and utilized every possible, conceivable, strategy of resistance to predatory lending.  The good news is that no theory has ever completely failed (except, unfortunately, for the UCC/ Admiralty and ‚Äúpositive language‚Äù aberrations), while the bad news is that nothing has ever COMPLETELY worked to establish free and clear title to property.  The REALLY good news is that a strategic and persistent implementation of one strategy after another has never failed, either.  I know NO ONE who continued fighting who actually lost their property.  I know of several people who missed a beat, failed to fight at crucial junctures, and lost their property, but they did so by default, and not by actual, ‚Äúfull and fair‚Äù litigation loss.

Attorney General Martha Coakley Reaches $10 Million Settlement with Subprime Lender Fremont Investment and Loan

Attorney General Martha Coakley Reaches $10 Million Settlement with Subprime Lender Fremont Investment and Loan

BOSTON
– Today, Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Office entered into a settlement with Fremont Investment & Loan and its parent Fremont General Corporation (”Fremont”) to resolve the Commonwealth’s lawsuit against the California-based lender.  Fremont has agreed to pay the Commonwealth $10 million in consumer relief, civil penalties and costs.  Fremont has also agreed not to foreclose upon unfair loans without certain protections for borrowers or originate unfair loans in the Commonwealth.  Those protections against foreclosure, which have been in place since the Superior Court issued a Preliminary Injunction in March 2008 are now permanent and also apply to the loan holders and servicers who acquired the Fremont loans since the injunction issued. 

“The American dream of homeownership has turned into a nightmare for many borrowers because of predatory lending practices.  We have vigorously sought to hold companies accountable for these practices, and today we have taken another important step toward achieving that goal.” said Attorney General Coakley. “With the $10 million we have obtained through this settlement, we have an opportunity to provide consumers and the Commonwealth with additional relief from the predatory lending practices that have besieged our state and nation.  We will continue to hold companies responsible for their role in the foreclosure crisis.” 

Under the terms of the settlement, Fremont has agreed to pay the Commonwealth $10 million, including $8 million in consumer relief, $1 million in civil penalties, and $1 million in costs, including attorneys’ fees.  The consumer relief funds will be used to redress the negative impact of mortgage foreclosures, predatory lending practices, and to provide relief to Massachusetts borrowers. 

Additionally, the settlement makes permanent the terms of the preliminary injunction granted in February 2008.  In that preliminary injunction, the Superior Court held that certain Fremont loans were “presumptively unfair” because by their very terms—short term interest rates followed by payment shock, plus high loan-to-value and high debt-to-income ratios—were likely to lead to default and foreclosure.  For those loans, the court established a notice and objection process before Fremont or its assignees or servicers could initiate foreclosures. Under this process the Attorney General’s Office receives:

• 30 days’ advance notice for loans that are either (1) ‘not presumptively unfair’; (2) vacant; or (3) not the borrowers’ primary residence.
• 45 days’ advance notice for loans that are ‘presumptively unfair.’

If the Attorney General’s Office objects after initial notice then the parties have 15 days to resolve their dispute.  If the dispute remains then Fremont must seek court approval to foreclose.  After the notice and objection process, Fremont may only proceed with a foreclosure to which the Attorney General objects if Fremont requests and receives approval from the Superior Court.  In considering whether to allow the foreclosure, the court will consider, among other factors, whether the loan is unfair and whether Fremont has taken reasonable steps to work out the loan and avoid foreclosure.  Fremont also agreed not to originate unfair loans.

The Attorney General’s Office filed suit on October 5, 2007, in Suffolk Superior Court against Fremont and its parent company, Fremont General Corporation based on the defendants’ unfair and deceptive loan origination and sales conduct. The complaint specifically alleges that the company was selling risky loan products that it knew was designed to fail, such as 100% financing loans and “no documentation” loans.  The complaint further alleged that the company sold these loans through third party brokers and provided financial incentives to these brokers to sell high cost products.

As a result of the lawsuit, up to 2,200 Fremont-originated loans have been protected from unrestricted foreclosures, because the preliminary injunction allowed foreclosures to proceed only after the underlying loan was analyzed for unfair, ultra-risky loan criteria.  Although Fremont originated about 15,000 loans in Massachusetts from 2004 through 2007, only 2,200 of those loans remained “live” when the lawsuit commenced.  Even though most of the 2,200 loans had been transferred to new holders and servicers, the Superior Court’s preliminary injunction required that those holders also were restricted by the court’s order.  

 The enforcement action against Fremont is a central part of Attorney General Coakley’s initiative to combat predatory lending.  The settlement follows the unanimous decision from the state’s highest court, the Supreme Judicial Court, in December 2008 which affirmed the Superior Court’s order barring Fremont from foreclosing on any structurally unfair loan without court approval.  That decision confirmed the fundamental aspects of the Commonwealth’s case against Fremont, namely that a lender’s failure to reasonably assess a borrower’s ability to repay his or her loan and the use of loan features that predictably lead to foreclosure is unfair and deceptive in violation of Massachusetts law.  The SJC further affirmed it is unfair and a violation of the Massachusetts law to originate loans in such a manner that would lead predictably to a borrower’s default and foreclosure, even if such loans are underwritten with the assumption that borrowers could refinance out of the loans.

Attorney General Coakley has undertaken a multifaceted approach to combat the foreclosure crisis and predatory lending.  This initiative includes Attorney General Coakley’s latest inquiry into the role of securitizers—those who bundled mortgage loans and sold them as mortgage-backed securities or other investments—and recent $60 million settlement with Goldman Sachs  for its role in securitizing subprime loans, including subprime loans originated by Fremont.  The Attorney General’s Office has also sued Option One  and its parent H&R Block, alleging unfair, deceptive and predatory lending practices, and obtained preliminary injunctions against those companies.  The Office also promulgated consumer protection regulations, effective in January 2008, governing mortgage lenders and brokers.  In addition, the Attorney General’s Office has also brought civil and criminal actions against local lenders and brokers who engaged in fraudulent lending activity, or who perpetrated foreclosure rescue or loan modification scams. 

This matter was handled by Assistant Attorneys General Jean Healey, John Stephan, and Shannon Choy-Seymour of the Consumer Protection Division, Financial Investigator Christine Murphy, and Assistant Attorney General Christopher Barry-Smith, Chief of the Public Protection and Advocacy Bureau.

The Associated Press

 

Today is Saturday, June 27, the 178th day of 2009. There are 187 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

In 1893, the New York stock market crashed.

In 1944, during World War II, American forces completed their capture of the French port of Cherbourg from the Germans.

In 1950, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution calling on member nations to help South Korea repel an invasion from the North.

In 1957, more than 500 people were killed when Hurricane Audrey slammed through coastal Louisiana and Texas.

In 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York’s Greenwich Village; patrons fought back in clashes considered the birth of the gay rights movement.

In 1977, the Supreme Court, in Bates v. State Bar of Arizona, struck down state laws and bar association rules that prohibited lawyers from advertising their fees for routine services. The Republic of Djibouti became independent of France.

In 1984, the Supreme Court ended the NCAA’s monopoly on controlling college football telecasts, ruling such control violated antitrust law.

In 1986, the International Court of Justice at The Hague ruled that the United States had broken international law and violated the sovereignty of Nicaragua by aiding the contras.

In 1988, 57 people were killed in a train collision in Paris.

Ten years ago: George Papadopoulos, the head of Greece’s 1967-74 military dictatorship, died of cancer in Athens at age 80. 

Juli Inkster shot a 6-under 65 to win the LPGA Championship, becoming the second woman to win the modern career Grand Slam (the first was Pat Bradley). 

The Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 in the final game at the Kingdome.

Five years ago: NATO leaders gathered in Turkey closed ranks on a pledge to take a bigger military role in Iraq; 

President George W. Bush declared that the alliance was poised to “meet the threats of the 21st century.” 

Insurgents threatened to behead Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, a U.S. Marine who’d vanished in Iraq, in a videotape that aired on Arab television. 

(However, Hassoun contacted American officials in his native Lebanon the following month; after being reunited with his family in Utah, Hassoun disappeared in December 2004.)

One year ago: North Korea destroyed the most visible symbol of its nuclear weapons program, the cooling tower at its main atomic reactor at Yongbyon. 

(However, North Korea announced in September 2008 that it was restoring its nuclear facilities.) 

In Zimbabwe, roaming bands of government supporters heckled, harassed or threatened people into voting in a runoff election in which President Robert Mugabe was the only candidate.

 

Today’s Birthdays: Business executive and former presidential candidate Ross Perot is 79. 

The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Army Gen. John Shalikashvili, is 73.

Stopping Meditation / Neale Donald Walsch

24. June 2009 by Spiritual Patriot.

Stopping Meditation / When Everything Changes, Change Everything: In a Time of Turmoil, a Pathway to Peace Neale Donald Walsch.

Decide that six times today and everyday you will stop whatever you are doing for ten seconds and look closely and intently at one of its component pieces.

Say you are washing dishes. Stop what you are doing for ten seconds – just stop in the middle of it – and peer deeply inside one aspect of what you are doing. See if you can count the drops of water on the dish in your hand. Just count the water drops. I know it is an impossible task, but undertake to do it anyway, just for ten seconds.

Consider the wonder of the water. Look deeply into it. Peer inside. Go inside, in your consciousness. See what you experience there, see what you find. Just stop for a tiny moment and appreciate that moment in a single way.

Okay, now the ten seconds are up. Now pull yourself out of that highly focused reality and back into the larger space of your experience. Don’t get lost in it. Blink your eyes rapidly, or snap your finger, and literally snap out of it. Then, notice what you experienced for that brief moment.

Now go on with what you were doing. Yet don’t’ be surprised if it takes on a whole new quality.
