No More Dirty Deeds

By George W. Mantor

If you want transparent and reliable land title records and you value real property ownership, there is only one choice.

As a result, the county has lost millions of dollars in recording fees as banks hid transfers from the public by recording them only in their private registry.

Many property owners unknowingly have hopelessly clouded titles. Citizens have lost their right to due process as courts turn a blind-eye to these forgeries.

Every time a mortgage assignment is entered into the MERS system without payment to the local county recorder, the county loses revenue and the ability to accurately track the information.

To land title records, the impact is definite and negative. Faulty information, fraud and gaps in the records have occurred as a direct result.

And because California is a non-judicial foreclosure state, every property owner is in the position of having their property seized without any due process whatsoever.

How could this happen?

The incumbent has allowed for fraudulent actors, and their supporters, to access the land recording system by permitting robo-signed mortgage assignments to permeate land title records, jeopardized the sanctity of the mortgage foreclosure process and inserted uncertainty into the mortgage finance process.

The integrity of land title records and the consuming public now hang in the balance and nothing is being done.

Stand with me to protect the reliability of our cherished land title records, restore transparency to the recording process and recover lost revenue.

Other county recorders are standing up to the fraud, why shouldn't we?

"My registry is a crime scene.", says Southern Essex Register of Deeds John O'Brien in referencing the situation in the county recorder's office, where he says the big banks have left the registry awash with more than 30,000 robo-signed or otherwise fabricated documents. Dirty deeds.

San Diego County is no different. Nor are the 3,000 plus other counties around the US. What is different is that some county recorders have stopped aiding and abetting organized crime.

Now it is time for San Diego to choose a new Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk and only one candidate is focused on the single most important issue in the election, the further erosion of our individual liberties as property rights and records hang in the balance.

We are losing the reliability and the transparency of our land title registry system and diverting millions of dollars in general fund moneys away from the county into the hands of too big to fail banks. Bankstas.

These corrupted records are then used to prosecute illegal foreclosures and perpetuate global fraud in the Mortgage Backed Securities market.
