I am sorry the facts here are so emotionally upsetting to you. That does not give you an excuse for your current string of childish screaming and ranting. Grow up.
No, I think it’s Homeless Bernie...:-)
You may have caught this one, I won’t be surprised if this is a fake story. The question, of course, by who and why. And isn’t it amazing that whenever these Paul nutcases turn up, (apologies to Paul supporters, I know the candidate is ignorant of and not responsible for his support) there’s a neonazi/white supremecist connection.
I smell a photoshop...
Oh give me a break. They’ve been in operation for nearly 10 years, and under federal scrutiny for that entire time, don’t you think that if this 18 USC 486 notion carried any weight they would have been shut down nine and a half years ago and been done with their five-year prison hitch four years ago?

Title 26 requires that “all firearms” be registered with the Secretary of the Treasury. Just as the implications of this requirement depend on the meaning of the term “firearm,” the implications of 18 USC 486 depend on “intent” and the meaning of the phrase “current money.”
Very good! "Fake, but accurate! "--- Dan Rather, HDNet -viewership 3 and counting.
They’re certainly involved in many of the controversies. And being what they are, I could see (pure speculation) how they could conjure up a story about an FBI raid in order to abscond with whatever bullion they may actually have.
OTOH, I could also see how they might take advantage of Ron Paul contribution efforts to make a little money on the side from such activity.
Again, just speculation.

If you can point to an example of “childish screaming and ranting” posted by me, I’d be interested to see it.
It may very well be legal tender. However, it is not intended to be used as currency.
The US government has the constitutional authority to mint coins and regulate currency, and they have done so.
You can argue that our paper money system is unconstitutional because the constitution specifically says "to coin money".
However, I have a hard time understanding how people who claim to be constitutionalists suggest that the government can't stop people from overtly trying to undermine the value of their currency by introducing their own and suggesting it be used in place of the dollar.
oh thats right Government power grabs are good sometimes..
It's right next door to this one:
Hee, hee, hee! Maybe the noob is the new manager of the recently renamed Liberty Store.
Actually, it's unconstitutional because no state shall make any thing other than gold or silver coin tender in payment of debts, but that's neither here nor there.
Alternative currencies are common across the nation. I posted a few examples earlier in this thread - Ithaca Hours, Bay City Downtown Dollars, and my nearby city of Nashua has its own Downtown Dollars.
The idea is to keep value circulating in the community, instead of being hoovered up into international banks and stripped out of the community.
If the feds are taking the position that it's illegal to barter if shiny bits of gold or silver are involved, then they've bitten off quite a chunk for themselves.
Recently they tried to prosecute someone for tax evasion for paying their employees in the uncirculated coinage based on the government-approved face value. They can't seem to make up their minds, though I guess it's understandable because it's the government.
Thank you, Comrade Stalin.
“Only freakin morons think it is okay for any nut group to print their own currency for circulation. I am glad these peaceniks have had their currency taken and they are being monitored”
I would think it would be illegal to coin anything that sas ‘dolar’ on it but a coin that simply noted its bullion weight should be OK, just as selling a ton of copper is legal.
