Grant. </em></p><p>Fast forward through time &#8230; properties that were previously recorded as being part of a land grant were eventually willed to heirs who then subdivided the original land grant into parcels under different owners other than the original owners listed on the grants. Some of the new property owners then mortgaged the properties, which allowed liens of various shapes and sizes to be placed on the subdivided tracts. </p><p>Onto the present day &#8230; the argument here by many advocates of land grants is that there is the possibility of restoring the land back to its original patent through the various so-called &#8220;processes&#8221; they&#8217;ve developed.  The claim is that any portion of the land grant can be restored to its original position as a sovereign tract, not subject to taxation but held as private property not subject to county restrictions, assessments and building regulations. </p><p>Onto the present corporate atmosphere &#8230; while the land grants were being sold off and subdivided, corporate entities called &#8220;States&#8221;, &#8220;Counties&#8221; and &#8220;Cities&#8221; sprung up around them and annexed them into their corporate subdivisions. Needless to say, public land records were also incorporated by statutes and ordinances, plat maps and deed restrictions as developers moved in to create HOA&#8217;s, COA&#8217;s and subdivisions. </p><p>While this post does not purport to give legal advice &#8230; look at the offerings and the fees attached to help people attempt to restore their properties to what is purported to be their &#8220;naturally stated&#8221; land grant issuances.  If the land grant offerings were actually legit, then why do the proponents of these offerings direct those participating in these programs post KEEP OUT and NO TRESPASSING signs all around their tracts, even if they&#8217;re just a simple lot carved out of the existing surveyed tract?</p><p>Does this make legal sense?</p><p>Land Grants were originally designated as 160 acres. How then, can someone turn around and claim their individual subdivided plat qualifies as the original land grant of 160 acres?  It would stand to reason that the entire 160 acres would have to be restored to its original state in order to even come close to being &#8220;re-qualified&#8221; as a sovereign entity unto its own &#8230; and then there&#8217;s the county hurdles to jump through where the entire pretext is centered around tacit conveyance over time to corporate annexation. In other words, if it was even possible to convey a property into its original land grant, every homeowner in the subdivided plat would have to (1) agree to becoming part of the project; (2) pay off any existing liens and assessments and assure that all taxes have been paid and releases filed in the land records; and (3) surrender their property&#8217;s title into the originally-designated land grant.  </p><p>Yeah, right!  Like every homeowner in America is willing to shell out bucks defending such a proposition in court, where corporate judges rule the roost and the land records serve as hard evidence of tacit conveyance into the corporate structure.  </p><p>Then there is the subject of a breach of warranty claim brought by those who are against the idea of merging with others back into the original land grant. That leads to more legal troubles for the proponents and advocates of such transition theory.</p><p>Further, the corporate States have also issued rulings and opinions, such as the one issued in Washington State:</p><div class="file-embed-wrapper" data-component-name="FileToDOM"><div class="file-embed-container-reader"><div class="file-embed-container-top"><image class="file-embed-thumbnail-default" src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0Cy0!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack.com%2Fimg%2Fattachment_icon.svg"></image><div class="file-embed-details"><div class="file-embed-details-h1">Effect Of Homestead Declaration And Declaration Of Allodial Ownership On Property Tax Liability | Washington State</div><div class="file-embed-details-h2">259KB &#8729; PDF file</div></div><a class="file-embed-button wide" href="/__u/davekrieger.substack.com/api/v1/file/dd542939-9e8e-443b-9f84-6cf50fc89acd.pdf"><span class="file-embed-button-text">Download</span></a></div><a class="file-embed-button narrow" href="/__u/davekrieger.substack.com/api/v1/file/dd542939-9e8e-443b-9f84-6cf50fc89acd.pdf"><span class="file-embed-button-text">Download</span></a></div></div><p>Thus, the battle with the State itself comes as an added burden, as the property owner wishing to pursue this folly does not have the financial resources to contest such a fight in a corporate court where the odds of winning are finitely stacked against the homeowner/property owner. </p><p>It is therefore nonsensical to believe that:</p><p>(1) The opportunity to restore property to allodial status actually exists; </p><p>(2) One could legally conduct such an event without incurring the wrath of his neighbors who are unwilling to succumb to the same disastrous end; and </p><p>(3) The corporate city, county and state will refrain from the use the full force of the body corporate&#8217;s structure of law to remove a non-compliant property owner for challenging his rights to allodial status when the subdivision of the land grant has already distorted its purpose. </p><p><strong>THE OTHER RABBIT HOLE: LAND RECORDS</strong></p><p>When&#8217;s the last time you visited the county land records to do a search of the documents filed against your property?</p><p>When the massive foreclosure schemes were foiled upon American property owners back in 2008-2016, better than 97.5% of all affected homeowners packed up their belongings and moved out of their mortgaged homes, making it easier for mortgage loan servicers to steal the properties and resell them at a profit on behalf of a common law trust whose investors had no rights to the properties in the first place. Over 10.2-million homes were stolen. </p><p>Of the remaining 2.5% of those homeowners who chose to stay and fight, roughly 1.5% of them found ways to bring their loans current or settle out of court with the loan servicer, who they had no actual contract with.  Most of those in this category never bothered to do their homework to see whether the servicer actually had any rights to collect anything from them. </p><p>The remaining 1% chose to rebel, research the land records and fight who they thought were the banks.  It was really the mortgage loan servers, who by contract with the originating lender, stayed in the fight and retained foreclosure mill law firms to do their bidding.  The attorneys for these firms would go into court with pre-arranged legal arguments and slanderous phrases like, &#8220;deadbeat homeowner&#8221; and &#8220;free house&#8221; type arguments to elicit negative attitudes from the county judges, who were also duped into believing that the party appearing in court trying to foreclose actually had a right to be there. </p><p>No matter. The actual Assignments of Mortgage or Deed of Trust were eventually also disregarded by county court judges, even though the homeowners suspected frauds and forgeries in them but didn&#8217;t have the financial means to force admission by those who created them that they indeed were manufactured to create the appearance of standing to foreclose.

Just yesterday, I was asked the following question from a salty old lawyer, &#8220;So if it wasn&#8217;t a loan, what was it?&#8221; Here&#8217;s the answer:</p><p><strong>What it actually was &#8212; five true descriptions, each more precise than &#8220;loan.&#8221;</strong></p><ol><li><p><strong>Economically: a repurchase transaction</strong></p></li></ol><p>The Brookings caption settles this. The note was &#8220;born as repo collateral,&#8221; valued at &#8220;the loan balance minus a haircut,&#8221; pledged to the warehouse lender at closing, and released directly &#8220;to the securitizer-investor&#8221; while the proceeds &#8220;flow directly to the warehouse lender.&#8221; That is the exact anatomy of a repo: acquire an instrument, pledge it same-day for cash, unwind within weeks by sale. The originator ran a <strong>matched book</strong>, like a bond dealer &#8212; it never held the instrument, never had its own capital at risk beyond the haircut, and never earned a spread on the note itself. Bond dealers don&#8217;t make &#8220;loans&#8221; to the issuers of the bonds they trade. Neither did the originator.</p><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Functionally: a raw-material procurement event for securities manufacturing</strong></p></li></ol><p>The closing table was not the end of a credit decision &#8212; it was the <strong>loading dock of a production line</strong>. The borrower was the supplier; the note was the feedstock; the mortgage/deed of trust was packaging that gave the instrument a real-estate flavor so it could feed a REMIC. The industry&#8217;s own white paper (MBA/PwC) describes originators as manufacturers in a pipeline, with cycle times and pull-through rates &#8212; the vocabulary of a factory, not a lending desk. What the borrower thought was a closing was, to the industry, an <strong>acquisition of securitization inventory</strong>.</p><ol start="3"><li><p><strong>In substance at T0: the borrower monetized his own credit</strong></p></li></ol><p>No pre-existing funds were ever lent. Under Part 1&#8217;s credit-creation analysis (Modern Money Mechanics; the Todd Affidavit), the &#8220;funding&#8221; was a simultaneous bookkeeping creation &#8212; a deposit created against the borrower&#8217;s note. The borrower handed over a negotiable instrument; in exchange he received newly created credit that existed because <em>he</em> signed. He monetized <strong>himself</strong>. The only real consideration in the room came from the borrower &#8212; his promise to pay and his house as collateral. The &#8220;lender&#8221; contributed an accounting entry, instantly sold the instrument, and booked the created liability nowhere (Part 2, &#167; XV). An exchange in which one side supplies all the value and the other side supplies a ledger entry is not a loan &#8212; it is an <strong>uncompensated issuance of a security by the borrower</strong>.</p><ol start="4"><li><p><strong>Legally: an Article 9 note sale masquerading as an Article 3 loan</strong></p></li></ol><p>Here is the sharpest legal characterization. Under UCC &#167; 9-109(a)(3), the outright <strong>sale</strong> of promissory notes is an Article 9 transaction &#8212; and the industry insisted it was exactly that: &#8220;true sale&#8221; opinions, derecognition under ASC 860, off-balance-sheet treatment. But at foreclosure, the same industry showed up claiming to enforce under <strong>Article 3</strong>, as a holder in due course of a negotiable instrument. It cannot be both. It was either sold (Article 9 &#8212; enforcement follows the Article 9 chain, which was never perfected, never documented, and never produced) or held (Article 3 &#8212; but no one ever took by negotiation, because no endorsement ever existed until one was manufactured at foreclosure time). The industry built a structure that was <strong>neither</strong>: sold for accounting and tax purposes, &#8220;held&#8221; for enforcement purposes &#8212; a legal nullity in both directions.</p><ol start="5"><li><p><strong>In the tax record: an extinguished liability later re-billed to the borrower as &#8220;income&#8221;</strong></p></li></ol><p>The IRS record completes the identity. The unbooked T0 liability eventually surfaces &#8212; not on the industry&#8217;s books, but as a <strong>1099-C issued to the borrower</strong>, &#8220;cancelation of debt income&#8221; (Part 2, &#167; XVI). The industry&#8217;s own tax filings record that the debt was extinguished &#8212; while the collection apparatus kept collecting. A &#8220;loan&#8221; whose creditor has already recorded its cancelation is not a loan; it is a <strong>spent instrument still being enforced by parties who were never owed anything</strong>.</p><p><strong>So what was it? &#8212; the one-paragraph answer</strong></p><p><strong>It was a securities issuance by the borrower, purchased with credit created against the borrower&#8217;s own signature, instantly pledged as repo collateral, sold through a warehouse conduit to securitization investors, and extinguished as a liability at T2 &#8212; with a mortgage attached as a collateral enhancement and a servicing strip retained as a collection franchise. The certificateholders were the only parties who ever advanced real money, and they bought certificates from a trust that never received the notes &#8212; so the actual funding source never acquired the right to enforce, and the parties claiming the right to enforce never funded anything. Calling it a &#8220;loan&#8221; is the industry&#8217;s cover story: loans are made by creditors who hold the instrument and bear the risk. This was manufactured, sold, derecognized, and extinguished &#8212; and then enforced anyway, by strangers, against the only party who ever put real value on the table.</strong></p><p>This provides you the rebuttal to the first false narrative &#8212; &#8220;You took out a loan, correct?&#8221; The correct answer is: <em>&#8220;No. I issued a negotiable instrument that was purchased with credit created against my own signature and sold within days as repo collateral. Show me the loan &#8212; show me the creditor who funded it, holds it, and bears the risk of it. There isn&#8217;t one. There never was.&#8221;</em></p><p>William Paatalo &#8211; Private Investigator &#8211; OR PSID# 49411</p><p><strong>DISCLAIMER:</strong> Sorry, I have to include this.

My staff ran this through Claude AI and got pissed all over by the platform and told that this theory was just some cockamamie excuse for a legal argument that has failed in the past.

This bunch of scumbags still owe me $50 for a &#8220;no response&#8221; when I applied to teach a quiet title workshop in their precious little, corrupt state.  The Supreme Court is really no different when it comes to kowtowing to the banks and the mortgage industry in general.

It&#8217;s bad enough that most folks don&#8217;t trust attorneys &#8230; but now the judges too? </p><p>It&#8217;s unfortunate that unless you can keep your case out of &#8220;foreclosure court&#8221; and inside of the parameters of a county court at-law, your chances greatly diminish in getting a favorable ruling.  This is why is pays to heed the following unless you want to intentionally become a victim of foreclosure court:</p><ol><li><p>If you even THINK you&#8217;re facing financial trouble, it&#8217;s time to start pulling your credit reports and looking at the condition of your credit history and challenging all of the little stuff (addresses, dates, times, places, etc.) as all of this &#8220;sidenote&#8221; information affects the past reporting of trade line items because all of this ancillary information is tied to your credit history.  Having too many addresses makes you look like a transient and makes it harder to get financial relief. </p></li><li><p>If you even THINK you&#8217;re going to NOT be able to make that monthly mortgage payment, just remember that the mortgage loan servicer and its henchmen cubicle operators are the parties behind the scene that strive to make your life difficult.  That would mean a it&#8217;s a great time to start giving them &#8220;something to do&#8221; besides calling and hounding you for money.  Starting up with the QWR&#8217;s/DVL&#8217;s might be a great way to &#8220;head them off at the pass&#8221; because most astute foreclosure fighters out there know that sending these types of documents buys time from the start of the foreclosure.</p></li><li><p>You only have to be 30 days late to be in an alleged &#8220;default&#8221;, which has to be proven by the &#8220;lender&#8221;.  But what if the &#8220;lender&#8221; isn&#8217;t the &#8220;lender&#8221;, but rather the servicer pretending to be the &#8220;lender&#8221;.  Do you have a contract with the servicer?</p></li><li><p>This is why looking into the Administrative Process sooner than later might not be a bad idea.  If you knew that judges don&#8217;t give a rat&#8217;s ass about the January 1961 Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago&#8217;s &#8220;Modern Money Mechanics&#8221; and the Credit River decision in Minnesota, then the time to start your skirmish would logically be BEFORE the SHTF. </p></li><li><p>Hitting the servicer with both barrels BEFORE a foreclosure process even starts seems to be the more prudent method of getting in front of the right judge (that&#8217;s not being hounded to give homes to the banks&#8217; servicers with no proof of anything) &#8230; the chances of winning in front of a foreclosure court judge are estimated at 1 in 100,000 now, while the chances of winning in front of a county court at-law judge are 1 in 250 because foreclosure isn&#8217;t the issue &#8230; what happened prior to the closing table IS the issue. </p></li></ol><p>It&#8217;s only a matter of time before the real truths start coming to light, just as they have about divisiveness in the main stream media!</p><p>-30-</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crypto-Backed Mortgages?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Fannie Mae seems to think they're "the in thing" now!]]></description><link>https://davekrieger.substack.com/p/crypto-backed-mortgages</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://davekrieger.substack.com/p/crypto-backed-mortgages</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave Krieger]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:25:32 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(BREAKING NEWS)&#8212; The most recent blogs seem to indicate that Coinbase has engineered the first crypto-backed, conforming mortgage, working with a vendor named &#8220;Better&#8221; to make these types of &#8220;ethereum-based&#8221; mortgages a &#8220;real thing&#8221;.</p><p>Better is offering these &#8220;visions of a hamburger&#8221; type products, powered by Coinbase, in an effort to expand access to homeownership while benefitting from the same backing of Fannie Mae as other conforming mortgages.

It&#8217;s bad enough that the banks have been allowed to create money of account by simply adding a book entry and then claim that you actually borrowed money of exchange.  The fault lies within the convenience and the false promotion of something that doesn&#8217;t exist can be used to buy something that does exist &#8230; with permission of course. </p><p>Do you see the control mechanisms at work here? </p><p>Socialism looks great on paper until someone else&#8217;s money runs out &#8230; or the false idea that the money created out of thin air is real.  This equates to the term, &#8220;when pigs fly&#8221;.</p><p>And what happens when the entire system of fiat currency is replaced with a digital currency you can&#8217;t hold in your hand as &#8220;legal tender&#8221;?  Then what?  </p><p>This blog illustrates the beginning of the end for convenience and spells doom for the future of property ownership in America, especially when you see how these crypto-backed mortgages are structured. </p><p>The backers of these schemes claim that crypto-backed mortgages function just like a conventional home loan, with the same legal protections. The key difference is simple: Instead of needing to come up with cash for the downpayment, borrowers can pledge their crypto holdings as collateral for a separate loan that&#8217;s used to cover the downpayment.  And this is supposed to be a major step forward for a real-world utility that has been fronted with fiat currency in the first place?</p><p>Think: &#8220;The Emperor&#8217;s New Clothes&#8221; &#8230; and you might be on the right track.</p><p>With this process you get &#8220;two loans at closing&#8221;.   How convenient is that? </p><p>One for the downpayment and one for the actual mortgage.  A sucker&#8217;s bet!</p><p>If the system is rigged to screw homeowners into believing that they actually &#8220;borrowed&#8221; money in the form of a &#8220;loan&#8221; and derived a &#8220;benefit&#8221; from it, then the system wins every time.  The exact opposite is exposed if you&#8217;d just read the January 1961 issue of Modern Money Mechanics, issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago itself, explaining how money is created out of this air.</p><p>It kind of operates the same way when you factor in digital currency, which is tied to blockchain, which is tied to property titles, which is tied to the banking cartels. </p><p>This makes perfect sense &#8230; except when the bank comes calling on you to make a payment on something you know was created out of thin air and you tell them to pound sand.  </p><p>This is why the Administrative Process was created.  To expose the wrongdoing.  </p><p>The use of this process requires patience and understanding of what you are trying to accomplish here.  This process has nothing to do with your current foreclosure situation (if you&#8217;re in one), so you cannot cobble the two together successfully when the old narrative is in play.  It simply cannot work like that as the system of things is only focused on the terms, &#8220;borrower&#8221;, &#8220;loan&#8221; and &#8220;money&#8221;. </p><p>-30-</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://davekrieger.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Dave&#8217;s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

Three attorneys, two investors, one Realtor&#174; and several affected property homeowners got a snootful of truth. I was surprised that those in Hawaii that wanted this workshop didn&#8217;t show up.  I don&#8217;t know whether it was because they think we have an unmitigated duty to give them free airfare, hotel and meals and free attendance or what.  Junkets to Vegas aren&#8217;t that expensive, even with the reinvention of the airlines in order to sustain profits.  All I can say is it&#8217;s their loss. They will have to wait until we upload the workshop on the website (shown below). You can watch and listen, but you can&#8217;t ask questions unless you contact Bill Paatalo directly. </p><p>The amount of funding it takes to put together one of these events is not a substitute for entitlement.  This is part of the problem with people I talk to regarding coming to one of these events to learn stuff that isn&#8217;t being taught or shared elsewhere, it&#8217;s the apathy of those who believe that they can simply walk into any United States&#8217; corporate court systems and get real justice. </p><p><strong>On Day One</strong>, licensed Private Investigator Bill Paatalo shared his administrative process with those in attendance. You can go to <strong><a href="https://foreclosurewars.us">ForeclosureWars.us</a></strong> to see the Orlando event to get a taste of what he shared with the class there &#8230; a prelude to the  ammo he shared in the Las Vegas event, which is being edited and posted shortly. </p><p><strong>On Day Two</strong>, I reviewed the differences between the &#8220;old narrative&#8221; and the &#8220;new narrative&#8221;.  It truly was information overload for some.  Some of the attendees were conflicted about the use of the Administrative Process and whether or not it would actually work, even though the program is &#8220;insured&#8221; by Lloyd&#8217;s of London and the homeowners don&#8217;t have to appear in court. </p><p>I pointed out that because of the fact title companies are directly involved with the initiation of security instruments and subsequently insuring (or not insuring) failed titles post-foreclosure, I cautioned those in attendance that they should understand that despite their best efforts in Bill&#8217;s process, they have to content with biased judges and lying bank servicers&#8217; attorneys and that the attorney representing their issues in court may need all of the back stories in order to even get close to a win, despite the fact the cases won&#8217;t generally be heard in foreclosure courts. </p><p>And for those of you paying subscribers &#8230;</p>

Nothing has changed except for the attorneys who attempt to play consumers through the &#8220;old narrative&#8221; are going to quickly suck all of the consumer&#8217;s money out their wallets faster because the number of alleged entities involved (it&#8217;s only one entity really) look like a maze of corporate layering designed to make homeowners&#8217; attorneys chase down multiple rabbit holes looking for the Mad Hatter. </p><p>Even the &#8220;paper&#8221; that was used to acquire Mr. Cooper by Rocket Companies was probably based on equity layering through Wall Street. </p><p>But no matter.  Whoever comes calling claiming default will now become your target within the &#8220;new narrative&#8221;.  </p><p>I find it interesting that less than 20 people actually know what the &#8220;new narrative&#8221; is. The rest of the populace of distressed homeowners just want to sit idly by and wait for some &#8220;result&#8221; so they can play copycat (but without the knowledge of how the process works) will be left penniless, which is exactly why these mergers occur &#8230; to further foil the foreclosure process. </p><p>Did you know that mortgage loan companies&#8217; loan officers want to make sure you pay on your mortgage for at least 12 months &#8230; otherwise, they&#8217;d have to pay back all of the commissions they earned if you default within the first year.  That&#8217;s the game the major players have foisted upon the lower-ranking echelon within the mortgage industry.  </p><p>This entire merger is nothing more than the &#8220;Emperor with no clothes on&#8221;!  </p><p>And of course, when the emperor gets naked, someone gets molested &#8230; just like Epstein!  That&#8217;s how pedophiles work! </p><p>No matter how much buffoonery is laced into this press release &#8230; it&#8217;s still the old narrative &#8230; played into a ball of confusion.  I&#8217;d like to see today&#8217;s alleged &#8220;foreclosure defense attorneys&#8221; wiggle out of this one!  LMAO! <em>(pause to absorb more reality) </em></p><p><strong>ROFLMAO!!!!!!!</strong></p><p>Since many of you may already be neatly tucked away into the &#8220;system&#8221; created by Nationstar, this recent disclosure should lend credence as to the smokescreen maintained as necessary to not just confuse the homeowners by the babbling of some cubicle employee &#8230; if you don&#8217;t understand the &#8220;new narrative&#8221;, then by design, you will lose in foreclosure. </p><p>But you keep going on (definition of &#8220;insanity&#8221; again), thinking you&#8217;re going to win, eh? Playing in the &#8220;old narrative&#8221;? </p><p>Now imagine suing all of these entities at once and how much research you&#8217;ll have to do to figure out &#8220;who&#8217;s behind the curtain&#8221;.  Ha! Ha! Ha!  &#8220;Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!&#8221;  (from <em>The Wizard of Oz</em>) &#8230; imagine the service of process, only in multiples.  Imagine the length of the pleadings and the responses you&#8217;ll get when you file a lawsuit against the entire charade of layering!  Overwhelming isn&#8217;t it?</p><p>That&#8217;s the &#8220;old narrative&#8221; the industry wants to suck you into &#8230; one nice big vacuum of fraudulent behavior &#8230; but hey &#8230; they make it so convenient to get a mortgage loan don&#8217;t they &#8230; even though they just pulled &#8220;money&#8221; (1&#8217;s and 0&#8217;s) out of nowhere! </p><p>And the use of &#8220;AI&#8221; means the &#8220;old narrative&#8221; has been plugged into the computer system that drives the blockchain of insanity &#8230; and you become another statistic by playing into it.

Thanks &#8220;bought-and-paid-for&#8221; Congress! </p><p>The lack of financial education in our public fools was deliberate and by design. You can thank the Rothschilds and the Rockefeller&#8217;s for that.  Oh wait! They&#8217;re Jewish!</p><p>We the People (and our successors and assigns) were not educated in legalese (jargon) and thus, did not understand what exactly they were signing at the closing table and the precursors that set the entire scheme into motion, starting with their signatures on their respective loan applications. </p><p>We explain this in Foreclosure Wars 3.0 in detail.  The problem with our current understanding is that the legal system being implemented against distressed homeowners is also by design &#8230; designed to thwart any logical explanation that the &#8220;system of things&#8221; presented to them at the time they filled out a loan application was at best, distorted and misrepresentative of the way the real &#8220;banking system&#8221; works these days.</p><p>I am convinced that today&#8217;s foreclosure court judges are corrupt as sin because they&#8217;ve been warned that their futures are in jeopardy if they accept the real truth which Foreclosure Wars 3.0 exposes.  Yet, if an option were presented to them, knowing what is really going on in today&#8217;s fractionalized banking system, would they accept it?</p><p>The &#8220;banking system&#8221; I speak of was enacted in 1913 and signed into law shortly thereafter by &#8220;bought-and-paid-for&#8221; President Woodrow Wilson, who went to his death bed admitting he&#8217;d &#8220;screwed his country&#8221;.  </p><p>And now Americans have been forced to accept a &#8220;dollar bill&#8221; as its legitimate &#8220;currency&#8221; (not mentioned in the Constitution) as &#8220;legal tender for all debts public and private&#8221;.  But &#8230; Do judges get what &#8220;tender&#8221; really is when it applies to the Uniform Commercial Code?  And what does the U.S. &#8220;dollar&#8221; really represent in a world of &#8220;fractionalism&#8221;?  </p><p>There&#8217;s another piece of legislation, adopted into all 50 states and territories, which seeks to regulate more than just negotiable instruments under Article 3.  There are two other &#8220;UCC Articles&#8221; (8 and 9) that come into play in today&#8217;s &#8220;mortgage debacle&#8221;. </p><p>Again, if people really understood the system of banking in this country, none would ever dare to take out a mortgage loan again.  This idea runs contrary to what the U.S. government would want you to think, as the system makes money off of securitizing paper (into securities) and trading them like &#8220;green stamps&#8221; on Wall Street. </p><p>We have 8% of corporate America controlling the financial behaviors of 92% of Americans.  Sadly, we as Americans have the ability to come to our senses and change the way things are by electing those in Congress that are willing to get rid of the Fed and start over with actual Constitutional currency. </p><p>Yet people have been told to ignore constitutional currency and with the advent of blockchain and digital currencies, the &#8220;convenience&#8221; of the already-flawed banking system in America is about to get worse. </p><p>The banks and our own government will play off of the &#8220;convenience&#8221; factor to the point where those who think they&#8217;re entitled will accept the &#8220;convenience&#8221; of a &#8220;chip&#8221; being placed into their right hand or their forehead in order to survive.  </p><p>That constitutes a slap in the face of what We the People know as the Constitution of the united States and all that it stands for.  There was nothing about &#8220;convenience&#8221; in the establishment of principles that our Founding Fathers established throughout the early days of American history. </p><p>Enter the Wall Street Media, who entices the meagerly-financed to play in a rich man&#8217;s game, controlled by the narrative that the almighty &#8220;dollar&#8221; can build wealth by investing in &#8220;paper&#8221;, which is only worth what We the People are willing to believe it&#8217;s worth. This is soon to be replaced by what China calls its &#8220;credit scoring system&#8221;, meaning that digital currency (which is already present in the current banking system&#8217;s accounting system) will be the only means of exacting any kind of lifestyle in America, based on how much revelry you exact (and as to what nature you exact it) on social media. </p><p>Say something the ruling class doesn&#8217;t like &#8230; no matter your &#8220;convenience level&#8221; &#8230; and you can&#8217;t buy gas or groceries for a week!  Threaten a politician &#8230; and the system shuts off your account completely &#8230; and you face starvation or a life of crime trying to exist in a controlled world.</p><p>And We the People stupidly let ourselves be convinced by politicians that our banking system here in America was sound, when it&#8217;s nearly $39-Trillion in debt, plus interest, which We the People can&#8217;t generate enough &#8220;paper wealth&#8221; to pay the interest, let alone the paper debt!</p><p>The dollar bill is a debt contract.  It says &#8220;FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE&#8221; on it, right at the top center of the face of the &#8220;bill&#8221;.  Why do you think it&#8217;s called a &#8220;bill&#8221;?  It&#8217;s a debt note issued against the person who uses it!  My God!  Why does the system revolve around this bullshit? </p><p>And the mainstream media uses every other excuse in the book to distract We the People from what really matters: The right to life, liberty and property.  Nope! </p><p>What about the despicable lyrics Bad Bunny sang on stage during the Super Bowl halftime show?  Is it okay to practice sodomy like Bad Bunny says it is (in Spanish)?</p><p>What happened to Savannah Guthrie&#8217;s mom?</p><p>What about the Middle East? </p><p>Are we going to annihilate Iran in a regime change fostered by the Deep State?</p><p>Weapons of mass distraction from the real truth &#8230; while our bought-and-paid-for U.S. Congress (who we dutifully elect &#8230; forget the stolen election crisis &#8230; based on the bullshit party line), who enter the hallowed Halls of Congress to a life of self-serving enrichment and thus forget who they&#8217;re there to actually serve. </p><p>But yet the ignorant entitled bleat for a solution that supports Marxism. </p><p>If you want to see the future of America, just look at what&#8217;s happening to New York City and the entire State of California.  I use these places as examples of how Marxist governments enrich their ruling power to screw Americans out of their wealth in favor of socialism.  </p><p>And then the factions that are installed and supported by AIPAC maintain that we shouldn&#8217;t speak ill of our Jewish neighbors, lest we be labeled &#8220;antiSemitic&#8221;.  Yet it&#8217;s those very factions that control our entire banking system! </p><p>And at this point in time, you&#8217;re worried about labels?  Or the Epstein Files?</p><p>We&#8217;re in mission critical now folks! A new secretive foreclosure crisis is overtaking America!  Despite the fact our President says he doesn&#8217;t want to see America turned into a &#8220;nation of renters&#8221; &#8230; Central Bank Digital Currencies being implemented (ah! the irony of it all) and fostered by this same President who&#8217;s promoting cryptocurrencies (another form of ethereum) &#8230; is going to further screw homeowners out of not just their equity, but their homes as well when the system of social credit scoring is facilitated upon an unsuspecting We the People. </p><p>This is one of the main reasons that my main focus is shifting in the near future.  Those who play in the &#8220;old narrative&#8221; the legal system is dishing out are only fooling themselves when the real truth was there all along &#8230; but we&#8217;ve been distracted away from it by things in the news cycle that really don&#8217;t matter.  I&#8217;ve attempted to help these folks through the &#8220;old narrative&#8221; to my detriment. I realized early on that I was making the &#8220;old narrative players&#8221; money in creating bad case law against homeowners.  </p><p>Which is why 3.0 is my last ditch effort to claw away at the &#8220;old narrative&#8221; and replace it with the truth.  What&#8217;s left as to &#8220;choice&#8221; is up to you. Entitled need not apply. </p><p>Then-Senator Jacob Javits Administrative Assistant Harold Rosenthal told Americans of things to come.

And there are still a lot of folks out there that think that income taxes (for the most part) are unconstitutional in nature and that they started up right about the time the Federal Reserve Act got passed.  Your thinking might not be off base here. (see <em>Gregory v. Helvering</em>, 293 U.S. 465 (1935)). The term &#8220;tax avoidance&#8221; was clearly established in that case (not &#8220;tax evasion&#8221;). </p><p>Yes, I get that we all feel like dutiful little slaves this time of year, wasting countless hours determining what may be deductible or in the alternative, paying a CPA to figure that out based on the information you spent hours grinding out to turn over to the CPA to make that determination.  Either way, the CPA will want to look at all your tax forms. </p><p>Then there&#8217;s that EIN number.  This is where homeowners appear to have been deceived.  Then there&#8217;s that 3949-A Form (see attached PDF):</p><div class="file-embed-wrapper" data-component-name="FileToDOM"><div class="file-embed-container-reader"><div class="file-embed-container-top"><image class="file-embed-thumbnail-default" src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0Cy0!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack.com%2Fimg%2Fattachment_icon.svg"></image><div class="file-embed-details"><div class="file-embed-details-h1">Form 3949 A</div><div class="file-embed-details-h2">83.5KB &#8729; PDF file</div></div><a class="file-embed-button wide" href="/__u/davekrieger.substack.com/api/v1/file/74c4c35b-d073-465d-98ba-50f043f9982b.pdf"><span class="file-embed-button-text">Download</span></a></div><a class="file-embed-button narrow" href="/__u/davekrieger.substack.com/api/v1/file/74c4c35b-d073-465d-98ba-50f043f9982b.pdf"><span class="file-embed-button-text">Download</span></a></div></div><p>If you are facing a third-party, junk debt pool that may not have an EIN to begin with, then who is demanding that your indebtedness to them is actually valid?

I pointed out to Bill Paatalo, the private investigator that is teaching DAY ONE of Foreclosure Wars 3.0 on February 28th, and suggested looking into an Iowa Supreme Court case <em>In re Lukaszka</em>, U.S. Bkptcy Ct N.D. Iowa No 17-00242 (Aug 14, 2017), wherein the debtors took their 1099-C and paid the taxes on it &#8230; and the judge ruled that the debt was cancelled!

In other words, just because you went to the 2.0 workshop, don&#8217;t think that you have all the answers, because the entire &#8220;legal attack resulting through the actions taken in the administrative process&#8221; is presented in the 3.0 update; </p></li><li><p>And yes &#8230; at some point &#8230; <strong>you will be presenting information to the IRS.  </strong></p></li><li><p>You will NOT be present in court after your portion of the &#8220;legal process&#8221; is completed, so there&#8217;s no &#8220;screwing up&#8221; in being attacked by the judge (who prosecutes from the bench) or the bank's servicer&#8217;s attorney with questions you can&#8217;t or shouldn&#8217;t be answering; </p></li><li><p>You will get a complete understanding at the workshop as to the constructive nature of the legal process past your administrative process participation; </p></li><li><p>If you are currently in foreclosure and attempting to defend your case using the &#8220;old narrative&#8221;, your chances of winning your case and defeating the servicer and its attorneys is estimated at 1 in 250,000.

You can watch the videos, take notes and read all the research you want to read for a nominal monthly fee. My film editor developed the website based on the information shared at Foreclosure Wars 2.0.  That is the information you will be able to access. Pay for 1 month.  Watch as much as you can absorb &#8230; and then don&#8217;t spend another nickel (unless you want to). </p><p>Everything is available in read-only / watch-only format. But it doesn't yet contain all of the necessary new developments that will be shared in Foreclosure Wars 3.0. </p><p>The website will also allow you to connect with my team to discuss your issues. </p><p>We encourage you to watch the 2.0 workshop FIRST before reaching out, because you need to soak up the new narrative and understand that as this Administrative Process unfolds, you will find yourself <strong>NOT HAVING TO GO TO COURT</strong> and be forced to say or admit to things you have no earthly idea how to respond to (because it&#8217;s a trap)! </p><p>I&#8217;m not hard-pressed to do any more live workshops as I&#8217;m changing direction in my life.  As of March 1, 2026, the Clouded Titles website will become non-existent. Anything we update will be done via the website shown above.  I have too much on my plate running my new business to galavant all over the U.S. doing these classes anymore and if it absolutely becomes mission critical that I&#8217;m forced to ever do this again, it will be within an hour of where my new business venture is headquartered. </p><p>I too realize that there are homeowners that can&#8217;t be helped.  I also realize there are homeowners that are going to continue to vacate their homes and not even ask for help, even though the new narrative may result in them staying in their homes and never having to make a mortgage payment again! </p><p>The legal system is not only too complex &#8230; it&#8217;s also become corrupt!  You know it and I know it.  But that&#8217;s no excuse to give up your equity and live in poverty. </p><p>I&#8217;ve also accepted the fact that foreclosure defense attorneys do not deserve one f**king dime of your money unless they understand and are willing to practice the new narrative, which really isn&#8217;t new &#8230; it&#8217;s just that they&#8217;re too scared and afraid their bar card will be taken away if they bring the new narrative up in court. So they ply on every homeowner&#8217;s &#8220;victimhood&#8221; and soak them for whatever is left in their bank accounts and then say, &#8220;Well &#8230; you knew you were going to lose you house eventually, right?&#8221;  Yeah. I know. It&#8217;s bullshit and attorneys are going to hate me for saying it, even though they know the truth.</p><p>And that&#8217;s what this class is all about.  The real truth. </p><p>If you&#8217;ve given up &#8230; I will pray that somehow God will give you wisdom and that you will recover from this dilemma and bounce back with a more positive future.</p><p>In His Service, I remain. </p><div class="file-embed-wrapper" data-component-name="FileToDOM"><div class="file-embed-container-reader"><div class="file-embed-container-top"><image class="file-embed-thumbnail-default" src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0Cy0!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack.com%2Fimg%2Fattachment_icon.svg"></image><div class="file-embed-details"><div class="file-embed-details-h1">Foreclosure Wars 3</div><div class="file-embed-details-h2">3.54MB &#8729; PDF file</div></div><a class="file-embed-button wide" href="/__u/davekrieger.substack.com/api/v1/file/8a95e64b-e7cd-451f-a745-f4e28e56409f.pdf"><span class="file-embed-button-text">Download</span></a></div><a class="file-embed-button narrow" href="/__u/davekrieger.substack.com/api/v1/file/8a95e64b-e7cd-451f-a745-f4e28e56409f.pdf"><span class="file-embed-button-text">Download</span></a></div></div><p></p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://davekrieger.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Dave&#8217;s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
