It's not about being liberal or conservative anymore y'all. That is a hype offered by the fascist whores who want to confuse the people with lies while they turn this country into an aristocratic police state. Some people will say anything to attain power and money. There is no such thing as the Liberal Media, but the Corporate media is very real.

The coming Commercial Real Estate implosion

This is a 34 minute video discussion between two older financial gurus, one from Hawaii, the other from the Northeast. Gordon T. Long and Charles Hugh Smith.



The two grey-haired men give solid reasons why they state that only "400 out of 1300" malls in the United States will remain open in the next 5 years. When you go to your local mall, there are a large number of empty storefronts. Most small shopping centers also have empty store fronts. This stresses the underlying financing of these real estate investments, because of reduced revenue, which reduces the collateral value of the property. When the financing of the property occurs again ("rolls-over") every 5 to 10 years, if the necessary collateral of the property is depreciated, something has to give, but what happens depends on the financial players involved as well as the specific property. A bank could decide to take the property.

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, an entire mall was sold for $100. In the 34 minute video above, Mr. Long speculates correctly that he thinks this is because Wells Fargo didn't want to write down the assets.

Here's a local CBS news story on the event. In this news piece, the stated reason by the Wells Fargo lawyer who went to the auction and bought the property was to make sure another competitor didn't purchase the property on the cheap. That makes sense to me. I report you decide.

However, I imagine if someone like me went to that auction and bid up the sale price to $100,000, Wells Fargo would have bid $200,000. So my question is why were there so few people at this auction? Wouldn't those "competitors" have bid at least another $500 at the auction? The stated reason by the Wells Fargo lawyer just doesn't hold up to common sense, unless there is collusion.

The corruption of Conservatism

How ruthless networks of super rich ideologues killed choice and destroyed people\'s faith in politics by George Monbiot

The philosophy was called neoliberalism. It saw competition as the defining characteristic of human relations. The market would discover a natural hierarchy of winners and losers, creating a more efficient system than could ever be devised through planning or by design. Anything that impeded this process, such as significant tax, regulation, trade union activity or state provision, was counter-productive. Unrestricted entrepreneurs would create the wealth that would trickle down to everyone.
