Some local homeowners in San Jose, CA became so angry this week about unkempt foreclosed home in their neighborhood that they decided to do something about it. They got clever, and decided to take some of the trash and dump it at the bank responsible for the home, Wells Fargo. There’s just one problem: they got the wrong bank. Oh, and they may be more than just “neighbors:”
“We don’t need that garbage in our neighborhood… bringing down the value of our homes,” one homeowner told CBS San Francisco outside the Wells Fargo branch. “So we brought it to them. It’s their garbage, they should take responsibility for it.”
But it isn’t.
See, Wells Fargo only serves as a “trustee” and has no hand in the foreclosures. The properties are actually the responsibility of Bank of America.
“BofA said it had been maintaining the property but acknowledged there was a problem in July,” reports The Consumerist.
But there may be another twist. According to author Matthew Vadum, there may be more to the “homeowners” than meets the eye. According to him, the protesters are actually part of an ACORN front group:
Nobody ever said all the criminal street thugs at ACORN were bright.
The left-wing astroturfers of ACORN’s new front group in California, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), were behind a garbage-dumping stunt at a branch of Wells Fargo bank in San Jose, Calif.
News reports consistently depict the players as angry homeowners who spontaneously erupted in a spasm of righteous indignation. As if.
Vadum says the “make the banks pay” sign (with “ACCE” listed on the bottom) and chant tipped him off.
He continues:
ACORN has long waged a war against Wells Fargo. As I explain in my new book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, the competitors of Wells Fargo paid ACORN handsomely to blacken the bank’s name.
Predatory lenders Herb and Marion Sandler paid ACORN $11 million over the years to attack Wells Fargo, the main competition in California for their lending institution, World Savings Bank. The Sandlers are radical left-wingers who belong to George Soros’s Democracy Alliance, a club of billionaires that funds political infrastructure aimed at pushing America to the left.
Discoverthenetworks.org also chronicles how the group shares the same address as the former California ACORN chapter.
Yeah, something stinks here.

Jul. 29, 2011 at 9:06amThe first Activist Jerk in the video is the Anchorman introducing the story:
“Well they’re sick of the blight and the filth so they’re doing something about it. THEY are the neighbors who are tired of looking at homes run down because they’re in forclosure. [Here's the story] on a deposit they made at a major bank.”
His sympathy for “the neighbors” is obvious and uncritical.

Jul. 29, 2011 at 11:22amIf these ‘activists” are so concerned about foreclosures, why in he-double hockey sticks weren’t they outraged when people who were ill equipped to pay their mortgages moved in to the area in the first place? Don’t blame Wells Fargo or BOA – send the garbage to Barney Frank, Franklin Raines and the rest of Fannie Mae’s supporters who pushed for home ownership with no personal responsibility on the part of the borrowers.

Jul. 29, 2011 at 12:27pmRosegrower, Let’s not forget Bill Clinton who had the bright idea that every American and illegal no matter if they could pay the mortgage or not should have their own home, so he pressured banks to give out risky loans and penalized banks if they did not. He needs to stand in the same group with Barney Frank, Freddie and Fannie.

Jul. 30, 2011 at 11:28amIn the early to midd 1960′s I lived in “Watts” Los Angeles, The Government built very nice parks and appartments in that area. We watched them be distroyed over time by the very people they were built for (the lower income families). Lesson: If your don’t work for it “Van” you don’t respect and care for what you do have, In other words, the mind set of not valuing what one has and careing for it, makes you poor.
Well, Folks we have the Teaparty–They have Acorn (no matter the name the games the same) Seems they (Acron) changes their’s when the heat gets to much for them.

Jul. 29, 2011 at 12:08pmNo, they won’t be prosecuted but all of the right-wing extremist TEA partiers who are causing all the violence in the US should be investigated and prosecuted, according the Sheila Jackson Lee. Only problem is, she will really have to look hard to find an incident of violence being cause by or encouraged by the “right-wing extremists.” Seems that all the violence comes from the left! Sorry, Sheila!

Soro’s associates paid ACORN $11 MILLION to harrass their competitors – Wells Fargo.
That is RACKETEERING!!!!!
Wells Fargo should have arrested the protesters – for business interruption – and defamation – and sue the ACCO – ACORN’s front organization – for racketeering –
just as Andy Stern and SEIU was sued – for racketeering – by the French-owned catering company that SEIU was harrassing, defaming.

Jul. 29, 2011 at 4:57pmIt should matter to all of us that groups in America pretend to be regular working Americans but are really “community organizers, aka revolutionaries.” And it is interesting to note that ACORN did not go away, just re-formed under different names-a very leftist thing to do. If “global warming” is not working for you, use “climate change!” It should give you pause to think about how these people were trained by our current president. You also might want to check out if ACORN, ACCE, and all its other new names are still be funded by our taxes.
