THE MORTGAGE foreclosure scandal is taking on epic proportions: the New York Federal Reserve Bank has joined a consortium that’s pressuring Bank of America to buy back bad mortgages that were packaged into $47 billion worth of bonds sold by Countrywide Mortgage, now a part of BoA. Meanwhile, Bank of America has sued the FDIC over alleged fraud by a failed lender that BoA says double and triple-pledged mortgages on Mortgage Backed Securities.
How does this all play out? We have no idea, but it doesn’t look good. Abbot and Costello illustrate how this whole thing happened in the first place.
Also: a look back at the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

lyrics from ‘Stairway to Heaven’…note the references to the piper. it is also noteworthy that the piper/pan is cloven-hooved. the ergot phenom is interesting. the may day celebrations were influenced by the unwitting ingestion of ergot laced grain. ergot is a mold the appears on warehoused grain. supposedly the townspeople were unaware of the source of their intoxication.
And it’s whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will
Echo with laughter
And it makes me wonder
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
Don’t be alarmed now
It’s just a spring clean
For the May-queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There’s still time to change
The road you’re on
And it makes me wonder
Aw, uh, oh
Your head is humming and it won’t go
In case you don’t know
The piper’s calling you to join him
Before his death aged Kabbalist rabbi Kaduri not only revealed the name of the Messiah as “Yehoshua” in a coded message but also apparently said that the Messiah would not come until former PM Sharon died. See:

and the link to the WND report.
The reports detail 109,032 deaths in Iraq, comprised of 66,081
‘civilians’; 23,984 ‘enemy’ (those labeled as insurgents); 15,196 ‘host
nation’ (Iraqi government forces) and 3,771 ‘friendly’ (coalition
forces). The majority of the deaths (66,000, over 60%) of these are
civilian deaths.That is 31 civilians dying every day during the six
year period.
