We Ron Paul supporters don’t argue that the Federal Government made a law in 1933 banning the use of gold by private citizens, what we argue is that these laws are unconstitutional regardless of the fact that even the Supreme Court upheld them. Sandra Day O’Conner in her book even points out that the Supreme Court does not have the final say on the Constitutionality of the issue, we the people do.

If you want to follow blindly devout behind the Federal Reserve (the same Federal Reserve that is responsible for the Great Depression, and now the Mortgage Crisis, and the increase of inflation) go for it.

But Gold and Silver prices are going through the roof, if anything, the liberty dollars should be respected for the fact that they are made of silver, as far as I’m concerned that’s the end of the issue.

I don’t consider the liberty dollars a conterfeit because they are backed up by something of value that can be converted to dollars, silver can be converted to dollars just like milk can be converted to dollars,(when you sell it)

Are the checks that we write conterfiets too?

The Federal Reserve Notes are checks, that is what they are suppose to be, greenbacks when they were first introduced were meant to be checks backed up by actual gold and silver. What are the greenback federal reserve notes backed up with now? T-notes from the Treasury department.

And no, the Federal Reserve is not part of the government, all the Constitutional authorities called for about coining money etc belong to the Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve is not a part of the Treasury department. The US Mint is, and last I looked, they still sold one ounce gold and one ounce silver dollars to collectors.

Claudia Dickens, spokeswoman for the U.S. Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing, said American Liberty Currency(the original name for the Liberty Currency) is legitimate.

“There’s nothing illegal about this,”
Dickens said after the Treasury Department’s legal team reviewed the currency.
“As long as it doesn’t say legal tender there’s nothing wrong with it.”

“It’s not counterfeit money,”
concurs Ron Legan, Special Agent in Charge of the Seattle, Wash., Secret Service field office. Having investigated this regulatory matter closely, he concludes that the silver certificates are well within the highly restrictive boundaries of American monetary guidelines.

“We determined there wasn’t a federal currency violation,”
he explains. Although Legan concedes to being “skeptical” of NORFED, he admits there have been no “defrauds” or “complaints” filed against the political organization. Despite giving the newly coined cash a clean bill of health at the Treasury level, Legan believes ALC may possibly fall within the purview of another federal regulatory agency, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Still, the existence of any possible parallel investigation remains unclear at this time.

Art Rolnick, director of research for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis says:
“These (NORFED) guys are right when they say there is nothing in the Constitution explicitly allowing a national bank. But the Constitution gives Congress the authority to regulate money and the value thereof, and courts have upheld Congress’ implied powers.”

“If these (NORFED) people want to issue their own money, so be it. It will be interesting to see what the public thinks,” Rolnick said.

So be it!
Not counterfeit.
Nothing illegal.

In 1913, the Federal Reserve was created and granted a government-enforced monopoly on bank note issue by the federal government. In 1933, the use of gold as money by private citizens was outlawed by the federal government, forcing everyone to use Federal Reserve bank notes as money (since no one was allowed to issue competing bank notes). To claim that the Fed is a “private” central banking system is either profoundly naive, or deliberately misleading.

I went over to Liberty Dollar’s national fulfillment office here in Evansville yesterday evening and had the occasion to be interviewed on 2 different news channels locally, one of which, Fox 7, was surprisingly courteous and fair in its reporting. The other, NBC 14, was predictably lax and even slanderous.

Below I will provide links to the videos and one can certainly see the difference. The reporter for Fox told me he had heard of Ron Paul already and had actualy done a little homework on him in preparation for this story and he was really sympathetic to the cause, agreeing with what we had to say about this raid being potentially unconstitutional (if no charges were filed and no arrests made) and he was especially interested in hearing about the Federal Reserve and the Ron Paul connection with all this. As you can see in the Fox video, Ron Paul features prominantly.

By contrast, the NBC coverage is amateur on the level of a high school journalism class. The reporter went in with a clear agenda. Even when he was interviewing me I could tell he wasn’t really listening to what I had to say. Then the story aired and my suspicions were justified when he twisted facts and said that the man who had lost his $5000 was suing the Liberty Dollar when, in fact, he had joined a class action suit against the Federal Government! This was, in my opinion, a BLATANT lie to make tis story fit his neat little script. The icing on the cake is when the anchorman calls real silver “funny money”!

I think I will be paying that station a visit tomorrow and asking for a clarification in their next broadcast. We are desperately trying to get the Ron Paul word out here in Evansville, Indiana and we need to be nice as possible to our local media, but this is really a slap in the face on the part of NBC, I think, to basically mock the whole issue that way.

Fox 7, on the other hand, perhaps even ironically, is getting a long email of praise from me. Their report was just what we needed for our local meetup group to go nuclear!

Its a shame this has happened and I’m sure will cause a lot of headaches for people in the years to come. Private currency is NOT illegal if the parties both agree.

One is dirty paper, one is a minted coin. Which is worth more?

As the federal reserve note loses value, which it is doing faster than ever, it costs more of them for the same amount of silver. If you have silver money, it just becomes worth more fed notes too. People and businesses who have used LDs for some time now have seen their money double in comparison to Fed notes. This is why so many people were buying them.

The banksters are getting desperate and scared that the people have figured out their ponzi scheme and are doing whatever they can to get the cat back in the bag.

Call all the judges and agents involved and demand they return what they seized. Your freedom depends on it!!!

What do you think the money the Federal Reserve prints is, if not counterfeit? What backs it up? Nothing but faith, hope and love. As long as those hold out, the dollar will be doing great…

I’ll be kicking myself every day for not buying some Ron Paul dollars. Dang.

Hint: Watch America: Freedom to Fascism, which you can watch online if you Google it. Fascinating and highly recommended.

The government is willing to seize all of your assets and send you to jail for your life, simply because you do not use a piece of paper with their names on it to satisfy debt. I guess we’re closer to communism than I thought.
