Frontal Assault on Freedom: FBI Raids Liberty Dollar Posted by BJT on Nov 15, 2007 Read this email closely. I just got it this morning. Those of you who consider the gold standard a quaint anachronism, pay extra close attention. If Ron Paul supporters, gold standard advocates and the Liberty Dollar were nothing but harmless kooks, why would the FBI raid their offices when no crime was ever committed? This is a currency competing with the USD, yes, but they never, but never make the claim that it is legal tender or anything other than what it is: private currency. And private currencies are numerous in the USA.
No. This raid happened because the Liberty Dollar, the second most popular currency in the country, threatens to usurp the entrenched power of the Feds Almighty Dollar. People can see the buying power of the greenback eroding, and they will choose something else if it is available, and the Liberty Dollar is ready and waiting. And thats why the government must resort to force in order to protect its stranglehold on the economy.
From Liberty Dollar Headquarters: Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters:
I sincerely regret to inform you that about 8:00 this morning a dozen FBI and Secret Service agents raided the Liberty Dollar office in Evansville.
For approximately six hours they took all the gold, all the silver, all the platinum and almost two tons of Ron Paul Dollars that where just delivered last Friday. They also took all the files, all the computers and froze our bank accounts.
We have no money. We have no products. We have no records to even know what was ordered or what you are owed. We have nothing but the will to push forward and overcome this massive assault on our liberty and our right to have real money as defined by the US Constitution. We should not to be defrauded by the fake government money.
But to make matters worse, all the gold and silver that backs up the paper certificates and digital currency held in the vault at Sunshine Mint has also been confiscated. Even the dies for mint the Gold and Silver Libertys have been taken.
This in spite of the fact that Edmond C. Moy, the Director of the Mint, acknowledged in a letter to a US Senator that the paper certificates did not violate Section 486 and were not illegal. But the FBI and Services took all the paper currency too.
The possibility of such action was the reason the Liberty Dollar was designed so that the vast majority of the money was in specie form and in the peoples hands. Of the $20 million Liberty Dollars, only about a million is in paper or digital form.
I regret that if you are due an order. It may be some time until it will be filled if ever it now all depends on our actions.
Everyone who has an unfulfilled order or has digital or paper currency should band together for a class action suit and demand redemption. We cannot allow the government to steal our money! Please dont let this happen!!! Many of you read the articles quoting the government and Federal Reserve officials that the Liberty Dollar was legal. You did nothing wrong. You are legally entitled to your property. Let us use this terrible act to band together and further our goal to return America to a value based currency.
Please forward this important Alert so everyone who possess or use the Liberty Dollar is aware of the situation.
Please click HERE to sign up for the class action lawsuit and get your property back!

“Then I guess the US Mint better go after every single freaking MC/VISA gift card ever made. Those are effectively private currencies as well.”
If that is true, then wouldn’t a personal check also be a ‘private currency’ as well and shouldn’t the US Mint ‘go after’ anyone who ever wrote one?
Depends on what your definition of “is” is. ;)
The government reneged on silver certs in 1968. They are worth slightly more than a dollar today, if in good condition, to collectors.
Bonus points if you can define a “dollar” today!

“If there is criminal activity (fraud) on the part of Liberty, it will be of the nature of issuing more receipts than you have reserves, or trying to use the coins as margin or other illegal activity involving the utilization of false inventory.”
This is what banks do. It’s called fractional reserve banking.
I don’t really care for or respect kooks. When they defraud their fellow citizens...

Yep!
Possible precursor to full-scale assault on multiple fronts.
Advise: proceed with caution.
Advise: Special vigilance for retreads as some have infiltrated FR mail servers, vis-a-vis multi-zot, anti-Fred zealots.
Advise: watch for enemy language, vis-a-vis fiat, unconstitutional...
Suggested mission codephrase: Liberty Scam.
Correction: one post newbie with attitude.
HUH?? : )
Now, if the employee were to sell the coins, then the IRS might have a way to be involved.
Were I the employee, I would find places to spend money where there were deep price discounts for those who made payment in gold and silver specie, and avoid the tax trap.
Somewhere along the line, though, they will try to tag someone for the difference when they sell the coin for Federal Reserve currency.
