I don't doubt what you said about Countrywide at all. Doesn't surprise me a bit.
You should leak those documents to the press.

People are lining up around the block across the country for the Black Berry Storm, a $200 phone that comes with a $60-90 a month 2 year contracts. Theaters are sold out for the teen vampire film Twilight, scheduled to make $60 million this weekend.
Yet somehow, the media wants us to believe we are headed toward a depression.
And you can't claim its all on credit, since we're in a credit crunch, remember?

Not to mention everytime I got to the mall the parking lot is filled and I have to park in other parking lots!
I definitely haven't seen much evidence of people hurting. Especially not now that gas prices have decreased so I, like you, am perplexed at all this talk on a decrease in consumer spending. Basically they are like, well consumer spending is down some abstract fraction of a percent to a small whole percent, and the world is falling.
We must see though. Because macroeconomically, the U.S. is not in a great position and neither is the dollar. We will have to wait and see if the doom and gloom actually materializes on main street.

I have copies of some of the money orders they thought they tossed out. I had the originals money orders in my hand in court and the judge ordered me to hand them over to their lawyer along with those documents. There were other witnesses in the court. I tried to get a transcript of the court ordeal and was refused (judge ordered it sealed).
I posted copies of this stuff anonymously on-line a couple years ago and the ISP took the site down a week later. I sent anonymous copies to a few big news agencies (CNN, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal) and I can only assume they were not interested.
I even tried to track down the few owners of those money orders but they had already lost their home at the address on the checks. I couldn't locate them.
If I were to step out in person on all this, I could find myself in contempt of court.
Yeah, we need to let this whole economy collapse. It's all so corrupt! And planned.

I agree, Peter Schiff stood his ground despite mockery amongst his colleagues. This is an excellent post to say the least. Starred and flagged. I'm curious to know, where are those other people now?
There is a difference to what Peter Schiff says and what many ATS'ers say (some ATS'ers did say what he said though). And furthermore, he is educated and extrapolated these things himself with sound thought, while most ATS'ers repeat what they read on conspiracy sites, run around in circles and say the sky is falling. There is a total difference in my mind. I am one of those people that call people doom and gloomers when they say we will be living in the stone age after this and to store can food. Saying there is a stock bubble and it is going to burst is different.
What a joke, there are billions of people on Earth, one person out of a billion is bound to get one future prediciton right. I could make 10 predictions right now about 2012 and I am sure at least one would come true between now and then.
Who cares if someone predicted it, its time to stop it, stop handing out the money.
