OpEdNews - Diary: Stolen thoughts, ripped off words: Theivin' plagiarists on the prowl

Oped Ed article plagiarized for advertising real estate

::::::::

Some folks just won't quit. Land theft and intellectual property theft combined in the misuse of an article of mine, one published right here on Opednews.com. Yes, that's right. Some darling advertising geniouses are using Oped material as advertising.

Here's the skiinny. I do a daily name check on articles I've written and subject matter which has perculated from my demented brain and has actually become coherent prose.

Lo and behold, was I suprised to find an article that I had written on Harry Young and the theft of black property poorly re-written on a real estate site.

Good, gawlee, Miss Molly, how could such a thang happen? I am flibberty gasted, appalled, and dang right ticked off, to boot!

Here we are, working hard to give the world an an alternative to the moron media, and here comes a Madison Avenue reject who is too lazy to write his own copy, out there hijacking, deconstructing, misrepresenting somebody else's words as their own.

I have sent a cease and desist, for all the good that might do. My next step may be to have a little "conversation" with the word pilfer's web page internet provider.

So, ya'll beware. While you are passionate and don't mind airing your views freely on this site for distribution as intellectual property for educational purposes, don't let the perloining, pilfering, perverted, parasitic word pirates steal your work and use it for advertising.

Advertising is commericial and it ain't educational. If someone uses your work for advertising, they need to pay for it.

FYI: this is the article that was hijacked:

Foreclosures Lose Colour And Turns White From Black In Kentucky

digg_url = 'click here

Eighty year Harry Young is the last black farmer in three counties of Kentucky â€“ his family lived here for 100 years. Young lost the ground under his feet by a hotly contested foreclosure sale conducted by Farm Services Administration. Now Ku Klux Klan holds their all-white meetings on this black soil.

Young continues to plough through legalities and is ready to talk. He has hung up signs highlighting the foreclosure related offence â€“ â€˜How can this happen in America?â€™ The injustice seen is only the tip of the foreclosure iceberg. The authorities blatantly refuse to entertain Youngâ€™s righteous case. He wants to see documents of non-payment of fictitious foreclosure dues but the authorities remain silent.

Locks are being broken to hold KKK meetings on Youngâ€™s land. Young has submitted a report with the County Sheriff hoping that civil rights and human rights activists will take up the issue.

Recently the KKK has been making its presence felt in south Indiana and west Kentucky. It cannot be ignored that now what is going on is blatant theft of property via the foreclosure excuse based on colour. Black farmers continue to lose land to foreclosures at a higher pace than white counterparts. The strategy is delaying tactics making the victim run from pillar to post wasting time and money only to lose out in the end. Black farmers are being targeted and are run out of business by a nexus of officials and realtors together with bankers. Loan officers are being awarded bonuses for driving victims to bankruptcy.

Youngâ€™s case of foreclosure related fraud is one of the worst in line. Federal Arm Loan Agencies are riddled with accusations of fraud, crime and collusion in racketeering. Journalists have been documenting the illegalities going on for decades. Land has been â€˜soldâ€™ despite court orders. Since August 1981, 51 suits have been filed against FSA for legal failures in land matters. Their nefarious activities include disappearance of informers, overcharging interest on loans, forgery, illegal payment collection, forced selling of mortgaged cows, changing of loan terms etc but despite the time lapse no action has been taken.

Relevant questions arise when it is brought to light that the land in question is rich in coal. With the fraudulent foreclosure of land belonging to Young and many other like him their mineral rights also ceased to exist. Why?
