Activist Moves Homeless Into Foreclosed Homes

MIAMI - Max Rameau delivers his sales pitch like a pro. "All tile floor!" he says during a recent showing. "And the living room, wow! It has great blinds."
But in nearly every other respect, he is unlike any real estate agent you've ever met. He is unshaven, drives a beat-up car and wears grungy cut-off sweat pants. He also breaks into the homes he shows. And his clients don't have a dime for a down payment.
Rameau is an activist who has been executing a bailout plan of his own around Miami's empty streets: He is helping homeless people illegally move into foreclosed homes.
I too face mounting debts, impending foreclosure, and other challenges that are intrinsic to this materialistic systematical matrix of ever-increasing centralized control. And I have been homeless before as well. These experiences have in turn, helped to push me to think outside the box -- to try to find a way to free myself and others from it. I notice that many of us who seek the truth have this in common. No doubt, we continue to share similar experiences and such.
