Hate to sound like a broken record.

I am going to keep reminding people about what MERS is and isn’t

until I feel there is a general consensus among we the people and the judiciary. MERS is a software
program created by MERScorp. Companies sign up to “MERS, Inc” whom I dont’ believe even owns
the computer system; I think MERSCorp does – to become ‘members’, which means they can do
‘certain things’. Once a member, when a loan is closed, the “MERS’ deed of trust is used, alleging that
MERS is the nominee of the lender. The original deed of trust showing ABC lender and MERS as
alleged nominee of that member and its ‘successors and assigns’ is recorded in the land records. When
the note is transferred, members are to enter the transfer into the computer software program.
But, NO one knows or CAN know if this is done by the members or not. It’s strictly voluntary and
there is no diligence nor can there be by a business, MERS, which doesn’t even have any employees.
Wouldn’t matter if they did have employees; there would still be no way to know if proper entries are
made or not. There are computer techies who actually work for MERSCorp, but they are not
responsible for entries of transfers, the members are. Only members’ employees and NOT MERS’
employees enter transfers. MERS has no employees. There is NO one, NO one, not one single person
in the whole world who can tell if an entry is made properly or is not made when it should have been.
MERS’ computer software program ‘records’ are simply not reliable. Since they’re not reliable, they
can’t be trusted and cannot possibly evidence anything.
MERS’ membership contract provides that the only time a member may actually assign a deed of trust
is when the note has been transferred to a non-MERS’ member, like a trust. In that case, a member shall
execute and record in the land records an assignment of the deed of trust to the non-MERS member
who now owns the note and the loan is to be de-activated from the MERS computer software program
because MERS no longer represents the note owner. Otherwise, members are not to do assignments. (I
have not seen all amendments to the agreement)
So when we hear ‘MERS did this’ and ‘MERS did that’,
it is a misnomer, because MERS doesn’t do anything
because it’s only a computer software sytem, a wholely volunteer registration of transfers of notes.
When we hear MERS did anything, it is what a member did, NOT “MERS’, because it is only
members who do anything. “Mers” doesn’t do assignments, “MERS” never foreclosed. The members
alls have MERS’ ‘certifying officers’ so they can sign things in MERS’ name. When we see an
assignment allegedly by MERS, what we are generally seeing is an assignment by an employee of a
MERS’ member to itself. So if there is an assignment to B of A, say, that assignment was done by a B
of A employee incognito as a MERS’ certifying officer.
See? No real MERS, just a B of A employee wearing an extra hat for the moment, assigning a deed of
trust to his employer. And at any rate, the assignment should have been executed by the last owner of
the note, not B of A to itself by use of its straw officer.
MERS, which does have corporate officers, is finally starting to get some of the scope of its liability.
They are recognizing the peril of these self-assignments and the liability additionally imposed by the
robo-signors in its name. While MERS per se does nothing other than provide a computer software
program, its officers have allowed, if not created, an industry which has run afoul of the law.
That’s why it has said no more foreclosures in its name. And that’s why it is trying now, in the year
2011, to mandate some ‘training’ of the straw officers of its members. As if. You can’t ‘train’ them to
make voluntary entries. I mean, first of all, it can’t even be known if members do or not. They might as
well be trying to teach the straw officers to type. Nothing they try to do can replace the diligence which
is impossible by the very nature of the beast, the volunteer computer software system.
The point here is we need to start thinking like this:
MERS = computer software program

MERS’ members = do all activity we ever see in the name of MERS (foreclosures, assignments,
declarations)
THE PRINCIPAL ACTS IN THE NAME OF ITS ALLEGED AGENT (nominee, whatever)"

I have posted a lengthier version of this with more detail here at scribd entitled
“MERS is Being Had By Its Members”
