Liberty Dollar Raid

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Sorry I’m so late with this, life has been keeping me busy…

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 people’s 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 don’t 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!

Thanks again for your support at this darkest time as the damn government and their dollar sinks to a new low.

Zoning for land control.

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

RichmondLiberty.org: “East Ashland” to join fray of supercommunities?
The Ashland Town Council may vote tomorrow on a proposed 101-acre development, which will include 200 homes and a shopping mall. Last month’s public hearing drew 100% public opposition. As always, the choice is between the community and a single developer looking to fill his pocket, all he can offer the council is to write a check. Will every unclaimed piece of ground in Virginia have the same fate? How many developers are out there marking up our state?

I don’t see how this site considers itself to be “libertarian” when it is advocating for government (even local ones are bad) to take control of private property and tell the owner what they can and cannot do with it.  Someone needs to read the Mises article “Zoning is Theft“

Hillarycare

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

boortz.com: Nealz Nuze Today’s Nuze

Yesterday in the Senate, an amendment failed that would have cut government funds (your tax dollars) to provide healthcare for middle-income children and adults without children under the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. The program was originally supposed to cover poor children, not middle income children. Now the Democrats want to expand this coverage, and Republicans have failed to block it.

Meanwhile, in the House, the Democrats are trying to expand the SCHIP program to middle income families.. including parents. The effect of this expansion would be twofold: First, many middle income families who already carry health insurance would drop that insurance like a radioactive roach and sign on the toe SCHIP welfare version. Second, costs would soar .. into the hundreds of billions of dollars in no time flat.

In the House the Democrats have been trying to ram through these changes without allowing the Republicans to offer any amendments to the bill, and without affording the opposition any meaningful time to argue against the bill on the floor.

What we’re seeing here is simply an attempt to bring Hillarycare – socialized medicine – quietly through the back door. The couldn’t do it in one swell foop under Hillary, now they’ll just try to do it incrementally.

Remember the prime motivation here. It is NOT to provide health care to children. No children are denied healthcare under our present system. The motivation is to make more and more people dependent on government for their health care. That is exactly what happens when millions of Americans drop their privately held health insurance plans and opt to go into a government welfare health care plan like SCHIP. Once these people are dependent on government, instead of themselves, for their healthcare, politicians have them by the short hairs.

Something that Neal forgot to mention, just remember that it’s not only those that opt into plans like these that have put themselves on the short leash, but they are also putting you on the leash as well.  How, you ask?  Well, you do pay your taxes like a good little citizen don’t you (how can you not, they have the guns)?  Where do you think the money to pay for these people who have opted into these programs comes from, a money tree out back of the white house?

The Meltdown

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Citizens Against Government Waste: FEMA’s Ice Outrage: The Meltdown
The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) has decided to liquidate nearly 85 million pounds of ice, worth about $24 million, left over from the initial 224 million pounds it had purchased in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The agency had anticipated keeping the ice in reserve to address shortages during the 2006 hurricane season, but there were not as many storms as predicted.
So far, it has cost the agency $12.5 million to warehouse the ice in 23 facilities across the country. Paying to store the ice for two years is especially inexcusable since FEMA’s contract with the Massachusetts-based storage contractor, AmeriCold, mandated that the agency dispose of unused ice within three months of purchase.
Initially, FEMA attempted to donate the extra ice to another federal agency, but could not find any agency willing to take it. There was talk of giving it away to the public, but FEMA officials worried that, after so much time in storage, the ice might not be safe for human consumption. The idea of selling the ice, even at a discount, to willing industrial buyers in order to recover at least some of the costs was apparently never seriously considered. Instead, FEMA is paying $3.4 million to melt the ice, which is expected to take 11 months.

See, isn’t government great, look how well they manage!  Now consider, if a private company were to pull stupid stunts  like this one, how long do you think they would be in business?  Not long, I’d wager, but with your friendly federal government running the show, you can’t get rid of agencies like this.  Once they’re created, they’re here to stay.

Ron Paul for President ’08

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Everybody should have one of these:
ron-paul-for-president08.jpg

Among other issues, Paul also voiced support for abandoning the war on drugs, allowing gold and silver to serve as legal tender, repealing the Seventeenth Amendment – which lets voters directly elect U.S. Senators – and ending the practice of withholding taxes from one’s pay. Instead, taxpayers would have to actually write checks to pay their taxes, a move Paul figured would soon end what he called the present tax-and-spend philosophy of government.
