That is arguably because what they claim aligns with what they do.<\/p>\n<p>For complete clarity, MHI\u2019s behavior is odd at best in how they handle their own emailed \u201c<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>news and updates<\/strong><\/span>\u201d or \u201c<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>housing alerts<\/strong><\/span>.\u201d Some of those alerts and updates are little more than a pitch to say how great they are, as Strommen observed. What does MHI have to hide if they are doing what they claim to be doing?<\/p>\n<p>The evidence-based argument can be made that MHI is actively engaged in <em>deceiving the bulk<\/em> of their smaller members. Besides\u00a0 evidence-based claims of antitrust and RICO violations, they are also violating the law by making false or deceptive statements. They such things by a variety of means. Such concerns have been brought to MHI\u2019s leaders numerous times, which include in public settings. Yet, MHI have publicly ducked addressing their patterns of (mis)behavior numerous times.

It was claimed by MHI that they indicated that were preparing to launch a study that would become a national image and marketing campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is more below, but first let\u2019s define two relevant terms when examining MHI claims and behavior. The terms are Fisk and Palter.<\/p>\n<p>A Fisk is defined by the Cambridge dictionary as: \u201c<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>to make an argument seem wrong or stupid<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>by showing the mistakes in each of its points<\/strong>.<\/span>\u201d Fisking is defined by left-leaning <em>Wikipedia<\/em> as: \u201c<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Fisking is a term invented by sections of the blogoshpere opposed to the pro-Arab reporting of Robert Fisk. It<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>describes the process of shredding a written argument line-by-line<\/strong>, <strong>parsing the meaning and providing counterpoints and is so called following application of the proceedure to Robert Fisk&#8217;s articles<\/strong><\/span>.\u201d (Note typo in the original from Wikipedia.<em>) Vocabulary<\/em> says that \u201c<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><strong>Palter<\/strong><\/em><strong>\u00a0is an unusual word for a common thing: speaking or writing in a way that bamboozles others<\/strong><\/span>.\u201d\u00a0The <em>Free Dictionary<\/em> says that \u201c<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Palter<\/strong><\/span>\u201d is: \u201c<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>To talk or act insincerely or misleadingly; equivocate<\/strong><\/span>.\u201d Some have described it as a mix of truth and falsehood, where the truth is used to lull the target of the deception into a false sense of trust in the person or group which is engaged in paltering. Or as the BBC said in a Nov 15, 2017 report \u201c<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>The line between truth and lies is becoming ever murkier, finds Melissa Hogenboom. There&#8217;s even a word for a very different form of lying <\/strong><\/span>[paltering].<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong> It is no secret that politicians often lie, but consider this <\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<strong>they can do so simply by telling the truth<\/strong><\/span>.\u201d Harvard has published a scholarly paper on the topic \u201c<strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Artful Paltering: The Risks and Rewards of Using Truthful Statements to Mislead Others<\/span>.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Paltering is used by politicians, but also by some in business and lobbying too. While there has always been some measure of paltering, which can be dated back to Satan tempting Adam and Eve with a mix of truth and deception in the Garden of Eden, paltering is \u2013 as Harvard suggests \u2013 becoming a devious<em> artform<\/em>. The notions in this paragraph should be kept in mind while reading MHI\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with this part of MHI\u2019s statement posted above to illustrate.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00a0&#8220;<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>As the manufactured housing industry prospers, so will your business<\/strong><\/span>.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That statement is demonstrably true and logical too<em>. But<\/em> that statement true statement is hardly evidence that<em> MHI<\/em> is working for the interests of members of whatever size in &#8220;<strong>all<\/strong>&#8221; segments of the industry, as they claim.<\/p>\n<p>Here is another example of paltering from MHI.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;We hope you would consider joining your colleagues in the thousand-member strong <strong>Manufactured Housing Institute<\/strong>, the national trade association of the manufactured housing industry.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That may be technically true in some sense that they have &#8220;<strong>1000 members<\/strong>.&#8221; But as the screen capture below indicates, the 2019 MHI email says that some 360+ of those \u201cmembers\u201d are in fact locations for Clayton retail or various divisions of Clayton Homes. Meaning, approaching forty percent of the MHI membership is actually a single entity in a pragmatic sense. But when MHI changed some of their governing documents, an email from then MHI President and CEO Richard \u201cDick\u201d Jennison made the hyperbolic claim that they had hundreds of new members overnight. When specifically asked were these members Clayton locations (the only thing that made sense), Jennison ducked a direct reply to that, claiming (apparently falsely) that he did not have the level of detail in his membership report. What balderdash. But that first message from Jennison to <em>MHProNews<\/em> saying there were \u2018hundreds\u2019 of new members was technically true, but misleading. These are examples of MHI paltering.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19669\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19669\" style=\"width: 596px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLOGOmhiLOGOcompanymembersMHProNews.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19669\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLOGOmhiLOGOcompanymembersMHProNews.png\" alt=\"ManufacturedHousingInstituteLOGOmhiLOGOcompanymembersMHProNews\" width=\"596\" height=\"807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLOGOmhiLOGOcompanymembersMHProNews.png 730w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLOGOmhiLOGOcompanymembersMHProNews-317x430.png 317w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLOGOmhiLOGOcompanymembersMHProNews-567x768.png 567w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLOGOmhiLOGOcompanymembersMHProNews-111x150.png 111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19669\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i> There are more, but each of the companies with yellow by them are locations that are part of the Clayton or Champion family of brands.

The goal is to obtain information on their wants, needs, preferences and perceptions, and then develop a strategy to help\u00a0members\u00a0create an offering that meets the housing needs of these groups, converts them to manufactured homebuyers, and help with MHI&#8217;s legislative and regulatory efforts to change the existing HUD Code.<\/p>\n<p>For this research initiative, MHI is working with a diverse group of its manufacturer\u00a0members\u00a0and Ducker Worldwide, a respected independent consultant with extensive experience in the residential housing industry, including both site-built and manufactured housing. Ducker is conducting an in-depth study of these underserved entry-level homebuyers and will compare them to our existing manufactured housing customers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This initiative will help us develop a robust, fact-based analysis to drive strategy and serve as a basis for change,&#8221; said MHI President and CEO Dick Jennison. &#8220;The initiative is about significant long-term growth and defining a more expansive market for the manufactured housing industry, and what changes may be required for the industry to successfully appeal to the underserved entry-level homebuyer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the things the study will address are:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Identifying the needs, preferences and emotional trigger points for different housing alternatives, including conceptual features and benefits of homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Obtaining in-depth insights regarding the image, position and feasibility for manufactured housing solutions to solve or create value for consumers and their homeownership challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Determining the critical success factors and key elements needed for consumers to consider and ultimately purchase a manufactured home.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Analyzing the needs of the different groups and current industry customers to better understand the similarities and differences.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Providing analytics to estimate conversion levels and translating it to number of housing units.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Understand how these underserved customer requirements and home needs fit within our current HUD Code and the implications for the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Determining the current image of manufactured housing among consumers in these underserved markets and use it for market positioning and promotional strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Task force\u00a0members\u00a0include:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Keith Anderson, President of Champion Home Builders<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Kevin Clayton, President and CEO of Clayton Homes<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Jayar Daily, Chief Operations Officer of American Homestar Corporation<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Richard\u00a0Florea, CEO and President of Skyline Corporation<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Joe Stegmayer, Chairman &amp; CEO of Cavco Industries<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Dick Jennison, President &amp; CEO of MHI<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0 Christopher C.

Such a probe with subpoena powers would not doubt reveal other corruption that could later be used against the corporate giants.<\/p>\n<p>What is apparent is that MHI\u2019s leadership are bold liars. They are good liars in the sense that they have held to their own claims. But when their own statements are compared to their own and other statements, the disconnects at MHI become glaringly apparent.<\/p>\n<p><em>MHProNews<\/em> has been on record for some time calling for legal action against MHI and others. We\u2019re going to fine tune that a bit to say that such a probe could start with MHI. Once documents are produced, the above pattern will become even more clear. MHI can destroy emails, documents (such as the minutes to the heretofore unreleased closed door meeting with MHI, some key brands, and the GSEs) or whatever. But if the authorities involved do their job properly, a volume of evidence will be produced that will overwhelmingly support the factual and evidence-based claims cited and linked herein.<\/p>\n<p>The<em> Masthead<\/em> is calling for just such a probe. Our next steps will be made clear in the near term. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the industry\u2019s white hats are also encouraged to do the following things.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Where you have tips that are relevant to this discussion, by all means present it. That can be done on or off the record.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you have evidence and a rationale that can disprove this thesis, by all means, present it.\u00a0 That can be done on or off the record.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The MHI call to membership should be MHARR\u2019s call for more membership. We\u2019ve encouraged MHARR to issue their own call. Will they? Time will tell.\u00a0 But what is apparent is that unlike MHI, MHARR is consistent. They\u2019ve authentically advocated for the same things year after year. When the DOE energy rule was last foiled, that was due in no small part to MHARR\u2019s efforts. Other examples could be given that MHARR have over the years pushed the bigger brands to do what is correct. That\u2019s how the MHIA got enacted in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MHARR is a producers trade group. MHI is an umbrella trade group, representing both producers and nonproducers.<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Non-aligned producers of HUD Code manufactured homes that are not already MHARR members should join them.<\/p>\n<p>6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MHI and MHARR have some dual members. MHARR members are not required to self-identify publicly. MHI members that are not already MHARR members should do so. The evidence is clear. Only MHARR is authentically advocating for a full and robust implementation of the MHIA and the Duty to Serve, or FHA Title I lending that eliminates the 10\/10 rule.<\/p>\n<p>7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Those who are already MHARR members, but only have one plant should consider adding others to their MHARR membership.<\/p>\n<p>8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The industry should once and for all forge a post-production trade group that MHARR can team up with. NAMHCO had the right idea, but regrettably, the wrong execution when they picked an ex-MHI VP to represent them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/NealTHaneyNAMHCO-MHCAQuoteReasonsBrokeFromManufacturedHousingInstituteManufacturedHomeProNews.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"331\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>All such quotes should not be construed as a blanket endorsement of all that a person or organization has said or done.

It is apparent to those who look at the facts that MHAction is to the authentic resident interests what MHI is to industry independents. It is no surprise that MHAction and MHI both get the benefit of Buffett and Berkshire Bucks, even if they may flow through dark money channels.<\/p>\n<p>10.\u00a0 Stay informed and share reports like this. Albert Einstein and honest Abe Lincoln were both correct. The first job is to figure out the root issues, then the solution becomes apparent. President Lincoln noted that no one has a good enough memory to keep all of their own lies straight. This is the problem that MHI\u2019s leaders now face.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that MHI and their outside attorneys are unwilling to publicly debate their own performance and have ducked such a debate for years speaks volumes. The only authentic and sustained such effort was made by MHI member Andy Gedo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 618px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/AndyGedoPhotoManageAmericaLogoGedoQuoteClaytonHomesTheMoatBarriersOfEntryManufacturedHousingLendingManufacturedHomeProNewsKevinClaytonWarrenBuffettTheMoat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"848\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/debate-current-former-manufactured-housing-institute-members-battle-over-clayton-homes-mhi-other-key-member-activities-and-industry-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/debate-current-former-manufactured-housing-institute-members-battle-over-clayton-homes-mhi-other-key-member-activities-and-industry-performance\/ <\/i><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Gedo prudently tossed in the towel. Ayotte, Allen, Williams, Birch, Bliss, et al, they have all chickened out on a public and sustained defense of MHI\u2019s track record. I frankly do not blame them. MHI\u2019s own attorneys won\u2019t defend them in a public debate.<\/p>\n<p>Note that at the end of the day, industry members have to stand up for their own interests. Let me candidly say, when this odyssey began, I was threatened repeatedly and frankly at times felt a measure of fear.<\/p>\n<p>But I personally had to face those fears, thinking that the only way to beat the money was to confront them publicly with facts, evidence, and reason.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve heard from enough souls in our industry, and among consumers too, who have said that they too feel a kind of fear. That\u2019s possible grounds for a Hobbs Act charge.<\/p>\n<p>In our view, the evidence is strong that Strommen is right. MHI and their dominating brands have to legally challenged based upon the evidence. The fact that con artists are keeping up the con is no surprise.<\/p>\n<p>The time for the next steps shown above has arrived. Stay tuned for our part of those next steps. But once more, while we can provide digital evidence, at the end of the day, industry members have to be willing \u2013 on and\/or off the record \u2013 to stand up for themselves too. The many can beat the money. But only if the many show their strength in numbers. ##<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19688\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19688\" style=\"width: 511px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AcquistionsConsolidationsHighlyFragmentedManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMembersFlagshipCommunitiesNathanSmithKevinClaytonTimWilliams21stQuotesInfographicMAMHProNews.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AcquistionsConsolidationsHighlyFragmentedManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMembersFlagshipCommunitiesNathanSmithKevinClaytonTimWilliams21stQuotesInfographicMAMHProNews.png\" alt=\"AcquistionsConsolidationsHighlyFragmentedManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMembersFlagshipCommunitiesNathanSmithKevinClaytonTimWilliams21stQuotesInfographicM&amp;AMHProNews\" width=\"511\" height=\"2443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AcquistionsConsolidationsHighlyFragmentedManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMembersFlagshipCommunitiesNathanSmithKevinClaytonTimWilliams21stQuotesInfographicMAMHProNews.png 1913w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AcquistionsConsolidationsHighlyFragmentedManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMembersFlagshipCommunitiesNathanSmithKevinClaytonTimWilliams21stQuotesInfographicMAMHProNews-90x430.png 90w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AcquistionsConsolidationsHighlyFragmentedManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMembersFlagshipCommunitiesNathanSmithKevinClaytonTimWilliams21stQuotesInfographicMAMHProNews-768x3670.png 768w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AcquistionsConsolidationsHighlyFragmentedManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMembersFlagshipCommunitiesNathanSmithKevinClaytonTimWilliams21stQuotesInfographicMAMHProNews-321x1536.png 321w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/manufactured-housing-industry-executive-summary-true-state-of-the-hud-code-manufactured-home-industry-august-2021-plus-sunday-weekly-manufactured-headlines-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/manufactured-housing-industry-executive-summary-true-state-of-the-hud-code-manufactured-home-industry-august-2021-plus-sunday-weekly-manufactured-headlines-review\/<\/a> This <i>illustration and some others shown in this report can be opened in many browsers to reveal a larger size.
