2004 Credit Suit

Lord of the Rings - reflections

In an unprecedented move, I rented the two Lord of the Rings DVDs. I very rarely watch a movie, really don't have time for fiction with so much reality going on.

It was fun to watch the movies and to not think about reality for a few hours. But I've been wondering about what I'm doing, or trying to do here for years and I can't help but think about the big picture and comparing it to those movies.

Evil is everywhere. In the banks, the CRAs, the government and politicians, the media, the insurance companies, the pharmaceuticals, the defense industry, all these multi-national corporations, ...

It really doesn't matter where I look, the corporations and governments are focused on getting peoples' money and data, increasing their power to control the population, to add to their already unlimited wealth.

I've been actively trying to help people fight corporate fraud since 1994, and we're losing our freedoms and rights so fast, it is incredible and totally overwhelming.

It seems like I accomplished less than nothing.

It's frustrating. Why do I bother? It really seems hopeless.

But as long as there's some hope, it's tough to let go and leave people to their misery. I don't really have a stake in all this. I want to go to Nicaragua. Why do I care?

Nicaragua will be no different from the U.S. as soon as there are enough assets to make it worthwhile for the CRAs and banksters to exploit the Nicaraguans as Shell and Dole have been doing on the plantations.

Just like in those movies, we have many independent countries on our planet. But all of the so-called civilized countries I have looked at are either ruled by evil people or these same evil corporations have significantly influenced the governments and one way or another, the people get screwed.

State and local laws are exterminated by federal courts in the U.S., EU nations have uniform privacy and credit laws and they are eroding fast. China is next. Iraq is the beginning of the Middle Eastern assimilation ...

The IMF prepared many Central and South American, African, Asian and other "developing" countries for the corporate raiders.

The goal everywhere is an uneducated work force, satisfied with a life revolving around sex, family, beer and TV. Activism, idealism and individualism are not desirable. The profits go to the elitists, the wealthy, the CEOs and upper management, and of course to the politicians.

I don't know much about Kerry and he might just become the Democratic candidate. I don't like that he doesn't care about insurance fraud and I'm concerned with his Skull and Bones membership. From http://indybay.org/news/2004/01/1668277.php

"John Kerry has absolutely nothing to say on that subject. Sorry,'' said Kerry spokeswoman Kelley Benander.

I have heard this story many times, why does Kerry have nothing to say? He's in the same club with the Bushies and he's supposed to be an "alternative"???

My Dad has claimed for many years that 7 men rule the planet. It does seem a little odd that there is so little energy dedicated towards making Earth a better planet for all. But it might well be that the corporate executives are simply doing whatever they can to exploit the masses and that it's just human nature.

The "anyone but Bush" talk is not good.

Maybe it's already too late. Maybe it's just not possible to get an honest politician as president.

I've come to admire Dennis Kucinich. He doesn't care what the polls and the media say. There've been times when I couldn't sleep and everything seemed like one big waste of time. And then I thought about Dennis and his campaign, and his message. He doesn't care if nobody thinks he can win, he has a message and he's getting it out. He's the only politician I know of who stood up to the banks. He told the media what he thinks, regardless of the consequences. Of course he can't win without the media, but I admire him for not selling out. And he gives me hope.

Watching those movies also illustrated nicely how so few people are willing to fight for their rights. I could write pages just on the excuses I've heard, but most often I read:

I can't afford it.
I'm afraid.
I don't have time.
I don't know how.
My problem got solved, for now.
I might get a promotion and I'll be fine, some day.
I might win the lottery or otherwise escape from my misery ...

It's too late, resistance is futile.

That will probably be my excuse when I quit.

It sucks that those few who are actually dedicating their lives to fighting evil get so little attention. I look at Judy Morris and her incredible fight and superb web site, why didn't anyone send me the link?

I look at how many people have read my sites, and how few have submitted evidence against the CRAs. The biggest disappointments are the owners and moderators of http://www.creditboards.com/phpBB2/ That site gave me hope, I thought it was about changing the ways of the CRAs, creditors and collectors. It turned out that they're WITH the CRAs and Fair Isaac. They promote the fear of the CRAs and secrecy.

Their goal is to utilize the awful credit reporting system for their and their readers' personal advantage. They couldn't care less about people who don't have the time/money/knowledge to file credit repair law suits.

It's all about moving up into the class of people who benefit from the exploitation of the disadvantaged.

Their motto is "We can't beat them, so we'll join them." And some actually think there's nothing wrong.

But then there's Randy and his published suit, and he makes up for many disappointments. He could have just taken the $3,000 First USA offered, or countered with a slightly higher offer, but he didn't. And he showed us all that there is still hope when the judge denied the First USA motion to compel arbitration and dismiss.

Randy isn't a lawyer, and he prevailed.

He cares enough to post it all. Just a few months ago he didn't know how to scan, now he runs a blog and a web site while writing motions and being sick for 2 months now.

So, all hope isn't lost yet. Still, I feel like we're the hobbits, rather clueless, just doing whatever we can. We can win some small battles, but we can't win the big fight.

I'm certain that we don't have much time left and if the corporations become any more powerful, resistance will be futile. This isn't a situation like with Hitler or Saddam. There is no country to step in and rescue us once we lost all powers. This is *it.* We are it.

It's about time some invincible people, wizards or elves with powers and magic come along.

Legal skills and cash wouldn't hurt either. Unfortunately, the two or three people with serious money and a sincere interest in the fight against evil have disappeared, I don't know what happened. And Ralph Nader was either bought or threatened into giving up or maybe he thinks it's too late. A penny for his thoughts ...

It sure is strange that I can't even think of 10 people seriously fighting corporate crime and exploitation. I know some litigants who really tried, they all gave up, gained nothing but illness and/or divorce. The stress is overbearing, I don't think many relationships can last more than a few months. Once you're talking years, litigation takes its toll.

There are many fake "consumer advocates" with web pages featuring deceptive ads to the CRAs and Fair Isaac. And the lawyers, well, that's another subject. I never received one penny from a lawyer or any credit related business.

I ran into many more traitors than true friends, from the attorneys to the consumers. It is depressing how much mail I get from fake consumer advocates, looking for an endorsement or my expertise free of charge. I know a "consumer advocate" credit expert who provides expert testimony. His "advocacy" comes with a $2,500 minimum retainer, payable in advance.

As much as I hate to have to do this, I'm also going to have to turn a lot more people away. It takes too much time to deal with people who just want to get their credit fixed. I am going to limit my time to working with people who are willing to contribute, and I'm not talking about money.

So where's our Aragon?

I'll try to keep on going as long as there's hope.
