FBI Busts Mastermind Criminal For Issuing Silver Currency...

The FBI, which apparently has no major criminals to pursue, is now busting those who are preparing for the dollar's imminent destruction. Bernard von NotHaus, head of the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Code , commonly known as NORFED and also known as Liberty Services (his website can, or rather could, be seen here ), which since 1998 has been ......posted using frpa

This was discussed on the Rusty Humphries show, yesterday. They convicted him of "Domestic Terrorism" charges and not Counterfeiting! WTH?

The FBI needs to investigate Tim Geitner, Pelosi, Reid, Bidden and Obama if they want to find someone undermining our currency and economic system?

What about the UNIONS that Glenn Beck has on audio saying they are going to collectively attempt to crash our economy?

If what Bernard von NotHaus did was "domestic terrorism" then what those I mentioned above have done is that times 100.

Sen.s Kerry and McCaskill too, Rangel, Waters, JLo’s hubby and many many more.

[laotzu]

...and not Counterfeiting!

Why would they charge him with counterfeiting? Counterfeiting what?

So if I have my roof tiles fixed and pay the roofer with these:

Many private mints and others make and sell ingots of 1 ounce of silver, 1/10 ounce of gold, etc. I assume that a “barter” of goods or services for silver or gold would be legal, although I'm sure there would be tax ramifications. But technically I don't immediately see a problem with agreeing to exchange goods or services for a set amount of either metal.

Where this outfit went wrong was apparently calling the coins “dollars,” circulating certificates backed by the metals, etc. Plus, wouldn't they have to constantly revalue their “currency” as the US dollar lost value?

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”

Don’t get me started!

Clearly counterfeiting, not “terrorism”. Overreaching much?

Money with actual value is not allowed. The only legal money is based on the full faith and credit of Barak Hussien Obama.

Hey I got an idea, how about the FBI bust a few of these banksters that have driven our economy into the dumptser.

In future years, Gates and Obama could end up like President Bush, worried about which countries to travel to and if a Spanish Judge might order their arrest as a war criminal.

Article I, section 8, clause 5 of the United States Constitution delegates to Congress the power to coin money and to regulate the value thereof. This power was delegated to Congress in order to establish and preserve a uniform standard of value and to insure a singular monetary system for all purchases and debts in the United States, public and private. Along with the power to coin money, Congress has the concurrent power to restrain the circulation of money which is not issued under its own authority in order to protect and preserve the constitutional currency for the benefit of all citizens of the nation. It is a violation of federal law for individuals, such as von NotHaus, or organizations, such as NORFED, to create private coin or currency systems to compete with the official coinage and currency of the United States.

Using this logic, if the Post Office closed up shop it would be illegal for private businesses to fill the void. Money as used by the Framers in the Constitution meant gold and silver metal. It did not mean scrap metal or paper.

Additionally, the idea that the Constitution prohibits the private coining of money seems somewhat of a stretch in view of the specific prohibition upon the States from doing so.

[Truth29]

Wrong thread.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“calling the coins “dollars,”

Should have called them “Quatloos.”

[agere_contra]

Not even ‘clearly’ counterfeiting.

These silver rounds are currently worth 36 dollars each, which is 1.8 times their face value.

[RoadTest]

Using real money is seen as a threat by the Official Counterfeiters at the Federal Reserve, and that has, historically, been a reason for death. Ask Lincoln or Kennedy or the opposers of a central bank that went down with the Titanic.

“Domestic terrorism” can apparently be stretched to anything you want it to be. That’s not good.

That said, I’ve long thought that those who want to bring down the Federal Reserve are NOT America’s friends. And those that mindlessly regurgitate conspiracy websites are useful idiots to our enemies.
