Liberty Dollar Update

fortinbras · Post by **fortinbras** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 11:01 pm

I would not be surprised if Von NotHaus decided to divulge his list of customers to the feds in order to trim his own time in durance vile.

Post by **webhick** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 11:03 pm

In one of the updates he mentions medical problems, including losing an eye.

Perhaps the court has shown more mercy than I intend to?

1. Shocking Assault: Gov Turns UP the Heat
Some years ago, Simon Constable, a news reporter joked that you should hide your Liberty Dollars because the feds are coming after them!

Unfortunately, the Secret Service assault on eBay is a shocking step in that direction.

I just received the message below that was sent to an E-Bay seller who had all his Liberty Dollar (NORFED) removed from his site:

Message from E-Bay:
=====================================================================
Dear mike XXX,

You recently listed the following listing:

221158190865 - $5 Liberty Dollar Silver Certificate Warehouse Receipt (Norfed) 1/2 Oz UNC
221158191090 - Liberty Dollar $10 Silver Certificate Warehouse Receipt (Norfed) 1oz UNC

Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because of the following:

The United States Secret Service has requested the removal of all Norfed Liberty dollars on the eBay site as counterfeits. If you have any questions you can contact them at the US Secret Service Public Affairs Office: 202-406-5708.

Please do not relist this item(s).

We appreciate that you chose to list this coin on our site and understand there was no ill intent on your part. Your listing fees have been credited to your account.

=======================================================================

The alarming nature of this action is that Mike's only two listings were for paper warehouse receipts that were acknowledged to be legal by the US Mint in a letter to Senator Benson of Florida.

In other cases, everything that was listed was removed, even non-Liberty Dollar material!

Certainly, the most alarming chain of events would be for the Secret Service or the God awful FBI to pursue the eBay sellers and start raiding their homes and businesses. The truth is that there is no way to know how far this criminal government will push this ghastly action. So it is important to be prudent.

Thank you for all your comments. No time to reply to everybody, but it is great to get all your emails and hear that so much support is still alive and very vocal!

And yes, at the time of this Newsletter, there are still some "NORFED" medallions available on eBay. Maybe eBay is slow, or just taking their time.

Regardless of eBay action, I see this as the darkest before the dawn. I still trust that justice will prevail.

IF YOUR PROPERTY has been removed by eBay, please email me, via Editor@LibertyDollar.org as new legal action may be in the works.

Please report any other actions that you experience with your Liberty Dollar to the same address.

2. Thanks for the Donations
Thank you so much for the donations. I know it has been a looong time. But the longer the wait the better the ride. Please consider making a new donation to keep the lights on. The easiest way to make a one-time donation or a re-occurring donation is on Jason Pratt's wonderful site. If I could just raise $200 towards legal expenses would be a wonderful help. Every dollar or anything of value really counts! Thanks for all that you have done and your great patience. I remain convinced that you will get your property back or its current value in those dreaded depreciating non-Federal non-Reserve IOUNotes when the case is finally resolved. I pray that it is soon. Please click HERE to donate on Jason's GIVV site.

Or send anything of value or an anonymous money order if you wish to:

Thanks again for all you have done in support of Liberty and the Liberty Dollar!

3. Gold and the Wicked Magicians
This article by Steve Forbes was published in Forbes on November 19, 2012.

Why is there such hostility toward a return to a gold standard? After all, the U.S. prospered mightily by tying the dollar to gold from 1791 to 1971. (The exception was during the Civil War, but the link was resumed in the 1870s.) Other factors were at work, of course, but the sound dollar was critical to our phenomenal success.

There are two powerful forces opposed to this sensible step: the inherent rapaciousness of Big Government and the conceit of economists who believe that economies can be guided, like steering an automobile. Both forces share a visceral dislike of the gold standard.

Click HERE for the complete great article.

Click HERE for an additional article: Gold Standard: Steve Forbes Is Right and quotes Forbes: "For the first time in a long time, we as a nation are consuming wealth rather than creating wealth."

4. Silver Over $100 per Ounce
There are tremendous forces at work that will push silver over $100 an ounce. Very few precious metal analysts understand all the forces that are at work. Some analysts focus on specific areas such as the gold-silver ratio and technical analysis, while others write about future investment and industrial demand. And then of course, we have the more unorthodox analysts who delve into the ongoing manipulation of gold and silver -- a realization shared by the author of this article.

However, one of the most important aspects of silver that most analysts are completely unaware is the availability (or lack of thereof) of future silver mine supply. I am simply amazed how some analysts can forecast lower silver prices due to a so-called future supply glut that is supposedly coming in the next few years.

5. France Loses AAA Credit Rating
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded France's government bond rating by one notch to Aa1 from Aaa. Their outlook remains negative.

Today's rating action follows Moody's decision on 23 July 2012 to change to negative the outlooks on the Aaa ratings of Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. At the time, Moody's also announced that it would assess France's Aaa sovereign rating and its outlook, which had been changed to negative on 13 February 2012, to determine the impact of the elevated risk of a Greek exit from the euro area, the growing likelihood of collective support for other euro area sovereigns and stalled economic growth.

Moody's Investors Service also said it may join Standard & Poor who down graded the U.S. credit rating in August 2011 unless Congress reduces the percentage of debt-to-gross domestic product during budget negotiations in 2013.

6. Asian Countries drop USD for Chinese Yuan
7 of 10 Asian Countries abandon U.S. dollar for Chinese Yuan now

A "renminbi bloc" has been formed in East Asia, as nations in the region abandon the US dollar and peg their currency to the Chinese yuan - a major signal of China's successful bid to internationalize its currency, a research report has said.

The Peterson Institute for International Economics, or PIIE, said in its latest research that China has moved closer to its long-term goal for the renminbi to become a global reserve currency. The South Korean won, for example, has appreciated in sync with the renminbi against the dollar since mid-2010. (The renminbi is also known as the yuan.)

China has long vowed to raise its currency's global sway, along with the rise of its economy, which became the world's second biggest last year.

7. Absurd Solution to the Debt Ceiling
This absurd article would have you believe that Tim Geithner's solution to the debt ceiling is so reasonable, nobody could possibly object! What is the solution by the government's number one boy at the Treasury? Just remove the ceiling!

Please click HERE for the complete absurd article.

8. Record Gun Sales on Black Friday
Black Friday gun sales hit an all time record high last week with demand for new firearms so overwhelming that it caused outages at the FBI background check center on two separate occasions.

Fueled by fears that the Obama administration will go after gun rights during a lame duck term, the FBI reported 154,873 background check requests on Friday - a 20 per cent increase on last year's record total of 129,166 checks.

Gun stores noted that first time gun owners and women represented a significant number of those purchasing firearms on Black Friday.

"With the recent election, some people are making buying decisions just in case something (new law) happens," Don Gallardo, manager of Shooter's World in Phoenix.

9. Corruption: Where are Jim, Tim and Franklin?
Ever wonder about corruption in high places and where your tax money goes?
Here's a quick look at the three former Fannie Mae executives:

Franklin Raines - was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae who was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae's accounting activities. Raines left with a "golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits! The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear.

Tim Howard - was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae who "was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a "stable pattern of earnings" at Fannie. Investigations by federal regulators and the company's board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard's Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

Jim Johnson - was a former executive at Lehman Brothers and later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson's 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million." Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson's Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

Where are Jim, Tim, and Franklin now?
Franklin Raines worked for the Obummer Campaign as his Chief Economic Advisor.
Tim Howard is a Chief Economic Advisor to Obummer under Franklin Raines. Jim Johnson was hired as a Senior Obummer Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obummer's Vice Presidential Search Committee.

10. Secede To Succeed!
What began as a small group of citizens voicing their disappointment with President Obummer's victory in the presidential election has turned into a plea from hundreds of thousands of citizens to have their states be granted independence from the federal government.

The White House has now received secession petitions from all 50 states by citizens requesting that the administration "peacefully grant" them the opportunity to form their own sovereign government.

The petitions are created through the Obummer administration's "We The People" initiative, which was launched in 2011 as an effort to give citizens an opportunity to have their voices heard by the administration.

More info on this phenomenon is available HERE.

Additional article HERE. Taking America Back: Foreclosing Uncle Sam by David McElroy

Additional Article HERE. Less than a week after a New Orleans suburbanite petitioned the White House to allow Louisiana to secede from the United States, petitions from nine states have collected enough signatures to trigger a promised review from the Obummer administration.

Click HERE to sign a petition for your state or many other causes.

Closing Remarks:
It is not too difficult to see the path of national and world affairs. Countries are losing the war over depreciating fiat money and individuals are buying record number of guns. Corruption rocks politics, absurd solutions are proposed and people what to secede while Steve Forbes keeps trying to find support for a Gold Standard solution.

For the past 14 years its been this editor's opinion that the only solution is by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" so we can throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

As the December Newsletter will not post until early January… Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Lets hope the Liberty Dollar case has a happy ending this coming year!

Many thanks for your support and all your efforts to return America to value - one dollar at a time!

1. Legal Update
It's been 22 Months since conviction and counting: I regret to inform you that there is nothing new to report. Nothing new has happened. My sentencing attorney continues to work on my Sentencing Memo and I continue to wait just like you. I promise to report any new development as soon as possible.

2. Gold Legal Tender Introduced in Indiana
Senate Bill No. 99 has been introduced by State Senators Greg Walker and Jim Banks to free US-issued gold and silver coins from sales, use, and capital gains taxes. The Bill will add a new Chapter to the Indiana Code effectively making all taxes on gold and silver coins and transactions a thing of the past.

Dr. William Greene, in a paper for the Austrian Scholars Conference, explained how state legal tender laws could be an effective method to ending the Fed from the bottom up. In essence, pulling the rug out from under their monopoly control of money:

3. Germany Repatriates Its Gold
Bundesbank to pull gold from New York and Paris in watershed moment
Germany's Bundesbank is to repatriate gold reserves held abroad to tighten control and combat currency crises in the future, pulling a chunk of its holdings from New York and all its bullion from Paris.

The move marks an extraordinary breakdown in trust between leading central banks and has set off, among gold enthusiasts, with some comparing it with France's withdrawal of gold from the US under President Charles de Gaulle as the Bretton Woods currency system crumbled in the late 1960s.

Please click HERE for the complete article.

Germany to bring home some of its gold reserves
After months of heated debate, stoked by fears about Europe's economic crisis and criticism that the central bank was not keeping careful enough watch over its gold bars abroad, a top banker said Wednesday that his country would bring home $34.7 billion worth of shiny ingots.

The decision caps a discussion in which top German policymakers questioned whether they could believe the New York Federal Reserve's promises that it had 122,597 bars of high-quality German bullion in its basement. Some German lawmakers had said they wanted to bring home the entire reserve, arguing that in a time of instability and fears over the future of Europe's shared euro currency, keeping all the treasure locked up in German vaults would be prudent.

Please click HERE for the complete article.

Why Will It Take The Fed Seven Years To Deliver 300 Tons Of German Gold?
Supposedly, the government has 216 million troy ounces of gold, i.e. 6720 tons, so why will it take the Fed seven years to return less than five percent to Germany?

Putting the above in perspective, the amount of gold that Germany will have to wait seven years for is shown in red. The amount of gold the Fed supposedly holds is shown in yellow with a shade of tungsten. Why it will take the Fed seven years to part with an amount of gold that is less than 5% of its total holdings is anyone's guess... unless of course, the bulk of the gold has been rehypothecated numerous times to serve as collateral for countless counter parties, and it is no longer clear just who owes what to anyone.

Please click HERE for the complete article.

4. GATA Acknowledged & Vindicated
Yikes! Financial Times makes GATA's case comprehensively

The gold market barely shrugged when the Bundesbank announced it would move 674 tons of the stuff from Paris and New York to Frankfurt.

But the move is important: not for what it says about Germany's faith in French or American vaults; nor for the cost of shifting 674 tons of gold; but because it is a major victory for transparency in the gold market.

Central banks are notoriously secretive about their gold-trading activities.

Most report, on a monthly basis, their gold reserves to the International Monetary Fund. But these data fall a long way short of full transparency. They tell us nothing about derivative positions in the gold market -- for example, gold loans, agreements for future sales, or options transactions.

Please click HERE for the complete article.

5. Hedge Fund Converts 1/3 to Gold
The Pacific Group Ltd. is converting one-third of its hedge-fund assets into physical gold, betting that prices will go up as governments print more money to pay off debt.

"Gold, the way we look at it, is anywhere from being undervalued to being seriously undervalued," William Kaye, founder and chief investment officer, said. "We're in the early stages, in our judgment, of what would likely be the world's largest short squeeze in any instrument."

Please click HERE for the complete article.

6. Social Deterioration of Funny, Floating Money
Nathan Lewis recently wrote a very interesting article for Forbes. In it he said:
"When considering the effects of funny money (floating fiat currencies) upon a society, one of the more difficult things to put your finger on is the effect upon behavior in all sorts of situations, which we summarize as "morality." Yet, this can be perhaps one of the most important and destructive effects of funny money."

The article also contains a quote by Art Cashin, of UBS, that summed up how funny money affected Germany in the 1920s: "Some sociologists note that it was still an era of arranged marriages. Families scrimped and saved for years to build a dowry so that their daughter might marry well. Suddenly, the dowry was worthless - wiped out. And with it was gone all hope of marriage. Girls who had stayed prim and proper awaiting some future Prince Charming now had no hope at all. Social morality began to collapse. The roar of the roaring twenties began to rumble. All hope and belief in systems, governmental or otherwise, collapsed."
Please click HERE for the complete article.

7. US Credit Rating to Drop - Again
In the fiscal cliff negotiations, Obama held the line against entitlement reform, but the resulting deal could lead to downgrades by all three top debt ratings agencies later this year. In short, it wasn't politics per se, it was the fact that politics seemed to be preventing a solution to the real, underlying problem.

Right on cue, Moody's senior credit officer declared, "To support the triple-A rating, further measures to reduce deficit levels are needed." In other words, we're facing a second downgrade unless entitlement reform happens this year.

Both S&P (who downgraded us last year) and Fitch's have a negative outlook on US debt, which the administration itself projects, will hit $25 trillion by 2022. Unless changes are made on entitlements, both agencies could follow Moody's and issue a downgrade before year's end.

Please click HERE for the complete article.

8. Paul Krugman's $1 Trillion Coin
Should President Obama be willing to print a $1 trillion platinum coin if Republicans try to force America into default? Yes, absolutely. He will, after all, be faced with a choice between two alternatives: one that's silly but benign, the other that's equally silly but both vile and disastrous. The decision should be obvious.

This coin gimmick is so dumb that it is ridiculous! Plus coins are not printed, they are minted.

Please click HERE for the complete article.

A Trillion-Dollar Coin Brings a Jackpot of Jests
A bizarre but seemingly legal idea to get around the country's debt ceiling using a trillion-dollar coin is having its day in Washington.

The proposal, which originated in economics and business blogs and has a vanishingly remote chance of happening, has won ample attention and garnered new controversy as Republicans and the White House seem to be headed for yet another standoff over a legal limit on the country's debt - a fight that may come as soon as next month.

On Wednesday, the idea of a trillion-dollar coin made it all the way to the White House. "There is no Plan B, there is no backup plan. There is Congress's responsibility to pay the bills of the United States," said Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, who responded to a dozen questions about the trillion-dollar coin at a news conference. "I have no coins in my pocket," he later added.

9. Economic Collapse by Darryl Robert Schoon
It's going to get better; but, first, it's going to get worse
When I presented Time of The Vulture: How to Survive the Crisis and Prosper in the Process to the Positive Deviant Network in March 2007, the economic collapse hadn't yet happened. The next year, it did.

At the time, I suggested those in attendance, shed debt, sell their homes and buy gold. Then, the US real estate market was functioning without direct government aid, gold was $650 per ounce and the financial system was stable.

Those days are gone and are never coming back. The imbalance between credit and debt that occurred during the Great Depression is now back; but, today, the a la 1930s massive deflationary collapse will be accompanied by monetary disorder on a cataclysmic scale.

Please read this important article HERE.

10. Liberty Dollar Bill Act
Randy Wright, an eighth-grade civics teacher at Liberty Middle School, first presented the Liberty Dollar Bill Act to print the US Constitution on the back of the one dollar bill to Congress in 1998. Armed with scores of students who've memorized the abbreviated Constitution and lobbied Congress to have it printed on $1 bills, Wright has earned national media attention and the backing of more than 100 members of Congress in recent years.

The proposed Liberty Dollar Bill Act was not introduced by the most recent Congress, and got too few votes in previous years. But Wright is hoping to bring the issue back to the forefront with a video, to be posted on YouTube, in which about 30 students recite the abridged version of the Constitution in unison.

Click HERE for the complete article.

Closing Remarks:
As Liberty Dollar enters its 15th year and I nudge up to the second anniversary of my conviction… it is difficult not to wonder when this will all end. Please stay tune and I will continue to keep you informed.

Many thanks for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" will we be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Thank you again for all your efforts to return America to value - one dollar at a time!

Almost Two Years

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters!

1. Almost Two Years
As Liberty Dollar News posts after the month closes, this issue of the Liberty Dollar News will arrive just a few days before March 18, the actual Second Anniversary of my wrongful conviction and the confiscation of your property. And although my waiting has been painful, it can't compare to the collective pain that you and thousands of fellow faithful supporters for a value based currency must feel. The heart wrenching stories of you not having your rightful money, of the bankruptcies, deaths, murder and suicides would make anyone cry… as I have felt your pain. Your faithfulness to the cause that the government money should NOT be allowed to steal your purchasing power is the grist that has driven the Liberty Dollar. It is just beyond sad, that our government is in such poor condition. But of course, it is not the people in government; everybody there is well paid and actually over paid in comparison to the wages in the private sector. And of course, Obummer sets the height of the rip-off with his flights to Hawaii, etc. And if you compare wages in gold of 100 years ago to current union wages in gold today… every worker has been ripped off an amazing amount. It is no wonder the country is in such a sorry state. And that "sorrow" is expressed in many different ways. Although war, war and more wars are terrible beyond words, look at the sorry state of social affairs. When I grew up, Las Vegas was "sin city." Gambling was illegal and there were no gays in Kansas:) And the government warned us that marijuana was soo wild that you dare not even mention drugs! Now gambling is everywhere, most people know a gay person and marijuana, has been re-branded with its rightful name of cannabis, is an effective medicine. All this goes to prove that times indeed change. And I trust that will hold true for money too. As every fiat money has failed, it is only a matter of time before the United States dollar fails too. But it is that pain of waiting that hurts. And your waiting for your property hurts too. And on a bad day… my waiting hurts too. But certainly not as much as yours. You did nothing wrong while I decided to make a stand for a value based currency. Thank you soo much for making that stand with me. Value and rightfulness will prevail - we just don't know when or at what personal cost.

2. Lawmaker Asks to be Paid in Gold
Jerry O'Neil, a Republican just reelected in his northern Montana district, says his constituents told him he was not honoring his duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution, which O'Neil and Gold Standard supporters say requires the government to print money backed by gold. So the Montana state lawmaker is asking that he be paid in gold coins because of his lack of faith in the U.S. dollar amid a rising deficit.

3. Virginia Wants a Back-Up Gold Currency
Why Does Virginia Want a Back-Up Gold Currency? Because state lawmakers are worried the Federal Reserve's expanding balance sheet could eventually stoke Weimar-style hyperinflation and want to prepare for the day after such Mad Max monetary mayhem. As Ylan Mui of the Washington Post reports, Virginia's House of Delegates recently passed a bill calling on the state to spend $17,440 studying the feasibility of returning to a metallic money standard should Fed policies or cyberattacks obliterate the value of the (unbacked paper) dollar.

As the article concludes: "The demoralization of free-market capitalism might well turn out to be the most damaging unintended consequence of activist monetary policy. The Fed's facilitating self-indulgence while punishing self-sacrifice is a recipe for disaster."

Please click HERE to read this long compelling article.

4. Bitcoin Goes Mainstream with ATMs
Zach Harvey and Matt Whitlock of Nashua, NH have an ambitious plan to accelerate adoption of the Internet's favorite alternative currency by installing thousands of ATMs in bars, restaurants, and grocery stores that will let you buy Bitcoins anonymously.

It's the opposite of a traditional automated teller that dispenses currency. Instead, these Bitcoin ATMs will accept dollar bills - using the same validation mechanism as vending machines - and instantly convert the amount to Bitcoins and deposit the result in your account.

As old time Liberty Dollar supporters may recall, Pete Hollock, the legendary RCO of Chambersburg PA invented a similar device to dispense $20 Silver Liberty Dollars when you put a $20 USD bill in his machine. One of hundreds of ways people supported the Liberty Dollar.

Please click HERE for the whole article about the Bitcoin ATM. Another move away from the gov imposed fiat currency… oops, Bitcoin is not backed by anything either… but it's cooler than the USD.

5. Feds Preparing for Economic Implosion!?
Please click HERE for video that features Alex Jones and Gerald Celente update on the federal government's plan for an economic implosion. Not for the faint of heart.

6. Trust the Gov - Trust Goldman Sachs
Recently, with the correction in the gold price Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse argued that gold's 12-year bull run is over. Credit Suisse's most recent reasoning for their bearish view on gold is the same BS they issued on gold in January 2010 when gold was trading around $1100. Goldman Ass chimes in that the gold price is highly dependent on the real interest rates in the US.

Meanwhile, Credit Suisse Ass argues that an important turning point in gold's Bull Run was Draghi's speech July last year in which he promised to do "whatever it takes" to save the Euro.

The fears of an economic collapse, especially in the Eurozone are still very real; the US economic recovery is still quite fragile, and the Fed's monetary stimulus doesn't appear to be ending any time soon which should keep the real interest rates in check. Moreover, the major drivers of gold demand, India, China and the buying from the global central banks should continue to support gold prices even if the real interest rate in the US starts to rise.

So if you trust the US gov then you can trust these two Asses and you should sell all your gold and silver. Otherwise, I encourage you to click HERE and read this article titled: Debunking Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs on Gold.

7. To keep the Ponzi scheme going....
Today's top trends forecaster Gerald Celente, the founder of Trends Research and the man many consider to be the top trends forecaster in the world, told King World News about gold, silver and the frightening "next great trend." In particular, Celente said: "The new numbers came out over in Europe and Italy's jobless rate jumps to record highs, and so it jumps throughout Europe. Unemployment hits new records in the eurozone. And here at home, personal income plummets in the United States….

The only thing that's keeping this thing going is the central banks in Japan, China, Europe, and in the United States, printing all of this digital money, buying up worthless bonds, Treasuries, and other assets to keep the Ponzi scheme going....

8. 200 Years of the Dow/Gold Ratio
Knowing about and understanding the value of gold can be very beneficial to you in many different ways. It will help you understand some of the monetary trends throughout the world and how the value of gold affects the global economy. Please check HERE for two simply charts that say a lot… maybe more than two thousand words.

9. The Fiat Dow
As the Dow Jones Industrial Average edges close to 14,000 let us just remark on the value of the famous index in ounces of gold. It may be that 14,000 is nearly twice the 7,949 at which the industrial average stood on the day President Obama was sworn in. But what are we to make of the fact that the value of the Dow is actually lower today, having slumped to 8.38 ounces of gold from the 8.7 ounces at which it was valued on January 20, 2009?

This bit of dark humor says a lot about our country, its citizens and the idiots who supposedly run the country by stealing your money. Please click HERE for the complete list.

Closing Remarks:
Another month down and another month closer to … what? If parting is such sweet sorrow, what is waiting? "Awaiting sentencing" has proven to be a long and winding road. Please stay tuned and I will share any developments as they happen.

Many thanks for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" will we be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Thank you again for all your efforts to return America to value - one dollar at a time!

1. ALERT: BVNH Files Motion for Acquittal
I am pleased to inform you that my attorney, Noell P. Tin, has filed a brilliant Motion for Acquittal. Of course, this is a major development in my case and although it is a very long shot, it could end the current legal madness. It is very significant that my attorney was even willing to take such bold action. Let us all hope and pray that this Motion brings about the positive conclusion that we all wish.

Motion for Acquittal

From the thousands of letter to Judge Voorhees, the 651 Interested Party notifications and 65 Affidavits, I wish to acknowledge the 13 special Americans whose Affidavits were included in the Motion and became part of the fifth case re Criminal Code 486:

1. Marion Edwyn Harrison, attorney and chief counsel for NORFED and Liberty Dollar
2. Paul Sulla, original Hawaiian attorney for NORFED and the warehouse receipts
3. David Rostcheck, legal researcher re criminal code 486 and Liberty Dollar Associate
4. George Selgin, economist and free banker
5. Beth Deisher, retired Editor of Coin World
6. Richard Pitagora, attorney, banker and Liberty Dollar RCO
7. Ada M. Loper, CPA and original auditor for Liberty Dollar warehouse
8. James E. Burk, attorney and counsel for the Liberty Dollar declaratory judgment lawsuit
9. Lawrence H. White, economist, recipient of the Hayek Chair and free banker
10. Clifford Mishler, numismatist and past President of the American Numismatic Association
11. Peter Hallock, Liberty Dollar RCO
12. Jason Pratt, Liberty Dollar RCO and witness at BVNH trial
13. Clifford Thies, forensic economist and author of the introduction to SOLUTION book
And Vernon Robinson, Liberty Dollar RCO in North Carolina, whose Affidavit was not include but is mentioned in the Introduction of the Motion.

The Liberty Dollar has been a truly massive effort against the tyranny of fiat money and the thief of your purchasing power by the government. Win or lose, we did what was morally and economically right as a free people. In the war between good and evil, between value and fiat, between gold and lies, between liberty and tyranny, let it be known that we made a stand on the second anniversary of my conviction. I salute all of you for your conviction to do what is right. Damn, I hope we win!

This momentous Motion was first reported by GATA.org, the leading voice re the gross government manipulation of the gold and silver markets and a major supporter of Bernard von NotHaus' innocence.

2. New Liberty Dollars Introduced by Collector
Amazingly, at the same time that BVNH filed for an acquittal, Coin World reported that a new collector had issued his own New Liberty Dollar. While the new issue is indeed "new," it is not the first Liberty Dollar inspired medallion since BVNH was arrest on June 4, 2009, almost four years ago, there have been several new "dollars" inspired by the Liberty Dollar and issued by brave individuals who refuse to by bullied by a federal government that has clearly overstepped those limited powers granted to it by the US Constitution. One of those was not an exclusive power to "coin money." The list includes: Bud's Second Amendment "Gun" Dollar, Aspen Community Dollar and Ron Paul Dollars.

I first heard about the New Liberty Dollar when I received a Google Alert via email that informed me of an article in Coin World: Collector introduces New Liberty Dollars. Click HERE for the complete article.

Please click HERE for a second article by the Silver Bullion News: The "New" Liberty Dollar is Back.

While, my Appearance Bond prohibits me from participating or commenting on such projects, I am pleased that the Liberty Dollar has empowered people to take action that they think is legal, needed and necessary by a free people due to the government's current monetary thief policy.

3. Gold and Silver Coins in Arizona May Become Legal Tender
As more and more states try to balance their budget with fiat money blind-siding their efforts, it is encouraging that they are taking action re the federal government fiat money. Here are three timely articles from Arizona.

5. Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin and more on Bitcoin News
Can bitcoin compete with government currencies?
Could bitcoin and other "crypto-currencies" become widely accepted as mediums of exchange and even rival government currencies, evading government efforts to control the price of everything and to tax everything? Or will government use a futures market in bitcoin to suppress its price as the futures markets have been used by governments to control gold? Those issues are discussed by GoldMoney's Andy Duncan in his interview with Jon Matonis of the Bitcoin Foundation. The interview is 23 minutes long and you can listen to it at GoldMoney's Internet site.

Chips Capable of Mining Bitcoins 50 Times Faster Unveiled
A digital media student and head of BitSynCom LLC, Yifu Guo has invented a special purpose integrated circuit - ASIC (application specific integrated circuits) to be precise, capable of mining Bitcoins 50 times faster than currently available computer systems.

Guo's system, dubbed Avalon V1, not only mines Bitcoin at a much faster rate, it also offers an impressive price-to-performance ratio and consumes a lot less power as compared to GPU-based system available today. According to tests carried out by the Bitcoin Foundation, the Avalon V1 churned out "89 gigahashes of raw crypto-juice every second."

US regulator: Bitcoin exchanges must comply with money-laundering laws
The federal agency charged with enforcing the nation's laws against money laundering has issued new guidelines suggesting that several parties in the Bitcoin economy qualify as Money Services Businesses under US law. Money Services Businesses (MSBs) must register with the federal government, collect information about their customers, and take steps to combat money laundering by their customers.

The new guidelines do not mention Bitcoin by name, but there's little doubt which "de-centralized virtual currency" the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) had in mind when it drafted the new guidelines. A FinCEN spokesman told Bank Technology News last year that "we are aware of Bitcoin and other similar operations, and we are studying the mechanism behind Bitcoin."

[Editor Note: Bitcoin is not gold. And while it can be used to buy gold, drugs and almost anything, it is not gold and does not have that all-important ability to constrain the government to live within it means and the US Constitution. And while I have not idea what money will be in a hundred years, I know that man and gold will still be right here on planet Earth.]

6. S&P 500 hits record to c(r)ap rally
It should not be surprising that as the paper stock market goes up and precious metals go down. Especially when the gov is flooding the gold and silver markets with fraudulent naked puts to drive the metals down. And that is exactly what is happening. But it can't last forever. The Berlin Wall fell and so will this false market. Unfortunately, for those who bought just prior to the current onslaught against metal, it is painful. But if you got your Gold and Silver Liberty Dollars when they were introduced you are still profitable. Good going old "Norfeders." Thanks for your early support. Please click HERE for the complete article.

7. Central Banks Bought Over $3B In Gold In 2013
The current banking game is one of deception. While the banks are trying to hold the price of gold and silver down, they are continuing their decade long buying spree of gold and silver. So far in just 2013 alone the Central Banks Bought More Than $3B In Gold. Click HERE for the latest news from Forbes.

8. Swiss To Vote On Gold Repatriation
Well it is not just Venezuela, Germany and Texas that want their gold back. Now the Swiss are voting on their own gold repartriation. Click HERE for the article.

The lesson to be learned is GET YOUR OWN GOLD NOW!!!

9. U.S. Probes Gold Pricing
The price settings, which date to 1897 in the case of silver and 1919 for gold, now take place via conference calls among the major banks. The gold calls occur at 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. London time. The silver call occurs once daily at noon.

U.S. regulators are scrutinizing whether prices are being manipulated in the world's largest gold market, according to people familiar with the situation. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is examining the setting of prices in London, in which a handful of banks meet twice daily and set the spot price for a troy ounce of physical gold, the people said.

[Editor Note: The bottom line about this "news" is that this is all soo old hat. Nothing is going to come of this "probe" as they are not sticking it in the right place! Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is nothing but a channel for the US government to manipulate the market with naked puts as if they are real. The only thing "real" about the gold market is the gold - everything else is a fix like a bad habit. Click HERE to read more BS.]

And finally, click HERE for the joke of the month: Why The Gold Price Will Fall to $750.

Closing Remarks:
March was an interesting month. While no body knows when Judge Voorhees will rule on my Motion for Acquittal, I am sure the Judge will give the Motion for his most famous case sufficient time to consider the relevance of Mr. Tin's main point: "No Mens Rea = No Guilt" and acquits me. Let's all hope that justice wins over tyranny.

Many thanks for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" will we be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Thank you again for all your efforts to return America to value - one dollar at a time!

DOJ Replies to BVNH Motion for Acquittal and BVNH Counters

1. DOJ Replies to BVNH Motion for Acquittal
On April 17, 2013, the Department of Injustice replied to my motion for acquittal. Of course, they disagreed and made numerous points that my Motion had no merit and why I should be sent to prison. Over all it is what would be expected. And as acquittals are very rarely granted, the DOJ probably thought they had my conviction in the bag so they didn't have to get too worked up over my latest motion. But the point of my acquittal, no mens rea (i.e. no criminal intent) no guilt thus I should be granted an acquittal and all your property should be returned was well presented by my attorney. HEY! It's been seven year since the US Mint published the "warning" that using the Liberty Dollar was a crime and six years since the FBI raided the warehouse and confiscated all our property. I for one of over 100,000 people who are holding genuine legal paper or digital warehouse receipts as per the US Mint own statements want their gold and silver back. So now that the DOJ has replied, it is up to Judge Voorhees to rule on all the motions re my case.

Click HERE for a recent article by Coin World: Liberty Dollar founder seeks judgment of acquittal or trial that contains more news.

Another development in my case is that the DOJ removed "their" god-awful Press Release attributed to Anne Tompkins: Defendant Convicted of Minting His Own Currency. It is now only available on the FBI site. Even wonder how the DOJ was able to issue such a damning press release and brand me a "unique domestic terrorist" just a couple hours after I was convicted? Well, it is common knowledge that a Press Release is written for every major case well before the case even goes to trial so it is ready when the expected verdict is announced. Don't you love it that we all believe that we are innocent until proven guilty? Even wonder how the DOJ has a 98% conviction rate? There is something just not right about my case and justice in America for such an overwhelming conviction rate IMHO.

2. BVNH Replies to DOJ Response
In a surprise and bold move BVNH attorney, Noell Tin, filed a counter to the DOJ response to BVNH's Motion for Acquittal on April 30th. The brief filing was directed to the point of law that the gov did not prove their case and that the Acquittal Motion was neither too late nor did it involve new evidence. It is now up to Judge Voorhees to rule on all pending motions. It seems to be a clear choice between acquittal and prison.

Click HERE for the BVNH counter to the DOJ reply to the Motion for Acquittal.

3. Who, How & Why Was the Gold Market Sabotaged
Rarely is there an article that puts all the pieces of government sabotage together, especially when it entails monetary sabotage. Fortunately, Joseph VaughnPerling has done just that. Please read this amazing article that explains how the gov, acting through the Federal Reserve and JP Morgan Chase, were able to evade investor rules, regulations and the law to dump 500 tons of naked gold shorts (puts) for over 16 million troy ounces of gold worth almost $25 Billion that cost the sellers over a billion dollars! Who but the US gov has such power and balls for such a massive transaction to gut the gold market? This is massive theft of investor's equity, blatant disregard for the law and individual rights as the gov strives to protect their phony money and its eventual fate of utter failure.

4. Gold and Silver demands explodes
As a result to the massive assault on gold and personal property rights, the price of gold and silver has exploded. This presents an enormous buying opportunity, otherwise known as "averaging down." Regardless of what you call it, the assault on gold has driven the premium sky high and shortage of physical metal. If you are holding any paper gold - GET OUT OF IT NOW. This is the best time to buy and continue buying until sanity returns to the precious metals market. The following articles present a clear idea of what has happened.

Dwindling U.S. gold stocks signal surge in physical demand
NEW YORK, April 29 (Reuters) - Physical gold stocks held at CME Group's Comex warehouses in New York have dropped to a near-five year low in a further sign that gold's price crash unleashed a frenzy of demand as investors scramble to buy bars and coins.

Analysts say the sudden recent surge is further evidence of pent-up demand for coins and bars, particularly from China and India, caused by the slump in prices. Investors also appear to prefer to hold physical metal rather than futures, traders said.

"Some investors feel much safer having gold within their reach and their hands," said Jonathan Potts, managing director of Delaware Depository, a CME-approved silver warehouse which also holds gold and other precious metals for investors.

Perth Mint Works Through Weekend on Highest Demand Since '08
Australia's Perth Mint, which refines nearly all of the nation's bullion, said that demand has jumped to the highest level in five years after prices plunged, with the factory kept open through the weekend to meet orders.

There's been strong interest, including from the U.S., with buyers speculating that the metal will rebound from the decline, Ron Currie, sales and marketing director, said in a phone interview from Perth.

"We haven't seen levels like this since the 2008 global financial crisis," Currie said yesterday. "Compared to March sales, April sales have doubled or tripled," he said, without providing figures.

Time To Strike Gold?
In the last 30 days, gold has experienced some dramatic price fluctuations that have many investors taking note of a potential opportunity to profit from SPDR shares of gold (GLD). The 30-day high reached $1,605.40 an ounce and a low of $1,352.40. But even this substantial swing is small in comparison to the action that many investors believe they missed over the last five years where the precious metal saw astounding growth of over 40%. This has left many wondering if now is the right time to enter the market, or if this is merely a short-term dip unlikely to yield any real value. However, one man may be able to tell us the answer. Please click HERE for the complete article.

5. "These are perilous times" Jim Rogers
Legendary investor Jim Rogers is worried about unprecedented money printing around the globe. Rogers says, "We have never had every government debasing their currency at the same time. . . . This is the first time in recorded history where you have most of them doing it all together. These are perilous times . . . one way or another; this is going to end badly." Rogers owns gold and thinks last week's gold sell-off was a good thing. Rogers says, "This is normal. This is not unusual. I welcome it. I expect gold to go much, much, much higher over the next decade, but it will not and cannot until it starts having normal corrections." How high will gold go? Rogers says, "If the U.S dollar becomes confetti, any number you want to make up. They're printing U.S. dollars fast enough to turn them into confetti. Who knows how high gold will go as long as we have a mad man running the central bank." [Editor Note: The central bank is the real problem, regardless of what mad man is at the helm.]

Japan's devaluation policy insures the gold price, Sinclair tells King World News
Japan's policy of currency devaluation has placed a put denominated in yen under the gold price, Jim Sinclair tells King World News, adding that the physical market will respond quickly to future attempts to falsify the price with smashes in the paper market.

8. Boston Bombing - Another FBI Terror Plot?
IMHO, regardless of who is responsible or recruited the bombers, the worst part of the Boston Bombing is that it was the first and probably the first of many small scale civilian based terror events in the United States. My conclusion is based on my experience when I lived in Miami while there were three well publicized bombing attempts. In each of the trials it was proven that the FBI was responsible for creating the situation by aiding witless individuals who would have never been able to create a bomb without a FBI undercover agent playing an active role. These follow articles bear witness to the fact that the Boston bombers were most likely aided by the same FBI who raided the Liberty Dollar and are responsible for your lawful property being confiscated.

9. Arizona Fails to Make Private Gold and Silver Legal Tender
Breaking news: Governor vetoes gold standard currency for Arizona
PHOENIX -- Gov. Jan Brewer refused Thursday to make Arizona the second state in the nation to declare privately minted gold and silver coins, bars and ingots to be legal tender in the state.

In vetoing the measure, Brewer said she shares the concerns of proponents that the dollar isn't worth what it used to be. And she said it's likely to get worse "as a result of an unsustainable federal deficit.'

But the governor said she's not ready to take the plunge -- one that so far only Utah has taken.

Click HERE for the complete article.

Governor Brewer's veto goes again everything the Legislature passed:
Arizona passes law making gold and silver legal tender

ABC News also stated that the latest measure is Arizona's latest jab at the federal government, which prohibits states from minting their own money.

Arizona Legislature says gold should be legal tender
Arizona Legislature has passed legislation making gold and silver legal tender, no different under state law than the U.S. dollar printed by the federal Treasury Department. And that the measure reflects a growing distrust of government-backed money amid the declining value of the dollar.

10. Forbes recommends gold standard, flat tax
Steve Forbes is at it again! In a recent speech in New York City he recommended the gold standard and a flat tax as he did when he ran for President twice and has done so for many years. It is very endearing to for someone like Mr. Forbes to take such a stand especially one that is not yet popular simply because he, like so many of us, knows that the gold standard provided the most stable monetary system in history. It is simply sick that the US government, et al the national governments, to debase our national currency. This is atrocious and morally wrong. But to do so and use those proceeds for war, war and more war is certainly one of the worst crimes of the century.

As Steve says: "The U.S. economy may be slowly recovering from the crippling recession that started in 2008… [But] This 2 percent growth is nonsense. It should be 6 percent." He concluded his speech to a packed house by declaring that the death tax would also meet the guillotined. "You should be able to leave this world unmolested by the IRS," Forbes said. "As our Founding Fathers would say, 'No taxation without respiration.'"

Please click HERE for the compete article.

Closing Remarks:
Another month down and probably more than a month to go before Judge Voorhees rules on my post trial Motions. Please keep me and the Liberty Dollar in mind as we move towards a new monetary system that does not steal the results of your hard work.

Many thanks for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" will we be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Thank you again for all your efforts to return America to value - one dollar at a time!

1. Tortured Without Being Sentenced
While major medical problems that included surgeries and losing an eye last year was bad, the recent housing problems proved to be a lot more daunting to deal with. In case you are not aware of the difficulties of renting a house when you are a convicted fellow, here is my brief story. For the last two years I was befriended a wonderful place in Malibu. But when it was finally sold in December, I only had four days to vacate. Working around the clock, I made that deadline and drove across the country to a retirement community in Florida where I had lived before without a background check. This is critical, as the vast majority of all residential rentals are managed by property management companies, real estate firms or large land developers that all require a background check. And even the few rentals by individuals require a background check. Basically all residential rentals are denied to "convicted felons" even if the rental is not in the criminal's name. So the decision to move to Florida was not so much for the warm weather as it was the only place I thought I could move to without a background check because I had lived there before. Or so I thought. Unfortunately that was not the case. The day after arriving, the Homeowners Association Nazis ordered me to leave immediately, just two days before Christmas. Of course, the timing and the fact that nobody would rent to me compounded the problem. Which was further compounded by damn little money for a $80 per night motel room during the "high season" in Florida and that I have not worked for the past five years since my arrest and conviction. Even wonder why there are soo many homeless people? Well, now I know why. Fortunately, a Liberty Dollar supporter stepped forward and convinced a property manager, who was also a fellow concerned American, to rent a house to me. So I successfully sidestepped yet another bullet on the very long and winding road to return America to a value based currency, clear my name and get your property back. The three years since my conviction has been a torturous time without being sentenced. The uncertainty has been nerve wracking. But I have made the choice to take an active stand by providing a private value based currency vs. fiat government money and I stand by that decision. So if you could spare a few dollars, it would be great to be reminded that I am not standing along. Thanks again for all your support and patience! Bernard von NotHaus, 527 N. Green River Road, Suite 158, Evansville. IN. 47715.

2. 100th Anniversary of the FXRX*
Are you old enough to remember the original non-profit organization that issued the Liberty Dollar? It was NORFED - National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve that I founded in 1998. Remember the popular slogan, "No Fed - Just NORFED"? Now on the 100th anniversary of the government's ballsiest move to control and manipulate the country's monetary system, it's time to rethink what your money should be and where our country's monetary system is going. I hope the two are not the same for you. Below is a group of recent articles that marked that god-awful anniversary of the god-awful Federal Reserve fraud that is known as the "Fed" but I prefer to abbreviation: FXRX (F****** Rip-off)* for what it really is!

On the 100th anniversary of the FXRX, Cato staged a love-in for the Gold Standard. It featured many of my friends and fellow supporters, including: George Selgin, Richard Rahn, Lawrence H. White, Richard H. Timberlake, John Allison, Kevin Dowd, Judy Shelton, Gerald P. O'Driscoll and Lewis E. Lehrman. Here is a brilliant paper by George Selgin: The Rise and Fall of the Gold Standard in the United State.

Is the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve a cause for celebration or condemnation? Has the Fed, as Ben Bernanke said, "come full circle back to the original goal of preventing financial panics?" Two financial historians, James Grant and Richard Sylla, debate the benefits and dangers of the Fed and explore its history with us.

4. Angry Bart Takes His Parting Shot
After almost 30 years in Washington and for the past 6 1/2 years, Bart Chilton has been the most outspoken member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (that oversee the gold and silver markets) and one of the financial industry's most important regulators.

Chilton leaves behind a sobering message: "As we long suspected, Wall Street continues to use every trick in its playbook to do whatever it can to eviscerate numerous post-financial-crisis rules. The arsenal includes high-powered lobbyists who outnumber lawmakers 10-1; $1,000-an-hour letter-writing lawyers who gain strength from negotiating over arcane; and the occasional hoodwinking of a president whose knowledge of the ways of finance are close to nil."

In a recent interview Chilton said that, despite years of hard work by financial regulators, their efforts would be futile in the face of Wall Street's money and power.

5. Fixing the Dollar Now
Judy Shelton, a noted economist who knows which way is up, author of The Coming Soviet Crash (1989) and Money Meltdown (1994) that influenced my work on the Liberty Dollar, a longtime veteran of Washington, a friend who was an approved witness for my trial by not called to testify by my Dumb and Dumber attorneys and the first person to brand me as the "Rosa Parks of monetary policy," has published a quick 68 page booklet, Fixing the Dollar Now.

From Jefferson's early warnings to Roosevelt's Bretton Woods and Nixon's Camp David Shock, Shelton's Fixing the Dollar Now is rooted in the need-to-know historical foundations of today's dollar crisis. Drawing on the hard-learned lessons of the late-18th century, she first makes clear, "There can be no question that our nation's Founders deliberately sought to ensure that the new government...would never be able to indulge in the same monetary fraud that had brought ruin and cynicism to the individual states." And yet, Shelton argues the story of sound money in America has been an incremental slide away from these foundations in the name of political expediency. "We need to end the practice of having our elastic currency serve as the default mechanism for government fiscal irresponsibility", she writes. Easier said than done? Shelton offers five complementary? approaches weighed carefully and tailored for today's window of political possibility. Ranging from a reexamination of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate to a responsible return to gold convertibility, Shelton's solutions represent a bold yet well-reasoned challenge to today's leaders in Washington.

My friend and fellow Gold Standard supporter, Nathan Lewis, penned a good article: Judy Shelton Makes An Important Case For A 21st Century Gold Standard for Forbes in support of Shelton's work and her book: Fixing the Dollar Now.

As Lewis notes: "It is not a long book, perhaps more of a pamphlet in the tradition of Thomas Paine's Common Sense… The book is in what you might call the "Constitutional" tradition, with considerable focus on the ideas of the U.S. Founding Fathers and U.S. history… I particularly liked Shelton's exposition of why the United States was founded with gold-standard principles, and why the U.S. followed those principles for 182 years until 1971, in the process becoming the world's monetary leader, financial center, and economic superpower."

Of particular interest to Lewis and myself was Shelton's quote from Alexander Hamilton, the United States' first Treasury Secretary: "To emit an unfunded paper as the sign of value ought not to continue a formal part of the Constitution, nor ever hereafter to be employed; being, in its nature, pregnant with abuses, and liable to be made the engine of imposition and fraud; holding out temptations equally pernicious to the integrity of government and to the morals of the people."

6. Gold, Bitcoin, Stimulus & Stocks
Geopolitical strategist and fund manager James G. Rickards tells the Finance News Network that central bank intervention probably is a factor in the decline of the gold price. "We know that this goes on," Rickards says. "This is not speculation. It is actually disclosed in certain ways."

What has happened in the last 40 years to cause the increase? Are Americans really behaving that badly? What is the reason for the rise in the use of excessive force by police officers?

Closing Remarks:
As the years drag on, I wish I had some real news regarding the Liberty Dollar case and your wrongfully seized property. I remain convinced that only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" will we be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Thank you again for all your efforts to return America to value - one dollar at a time!

Third Anniversary of Conviction & Still No Action

1. Legal Update - Expectation is a powerful thing
Waiting has it benefits. I have had time to deal with countless medical problems and catch up on my reading. One of my best reads was: 13 Things that Don't Make Sense by Michael Brooks. No, the US criminal justice is not included although it should be. But as the book promises, it covers the most intriguing scientific mysteries of our times. While scientific does not cover judicial, a paragraph of this highly informative book addresses drugs and the placebo effect that seems to apply to justice:

Clinical studies show you can cut morphine use by half - over the long term - if you just make sure the patient knows you're giving it. Telling patients they are being injected with a painkiller - while injecting them with saline - is as effective as injecting 6-8 mg of morphine. Studies at the U.S. National Institute of Health found that a cocaine abuser in a recovery clinic can get by on half doses too - as long as they know they're getting something. Expectation is a powerful thing.

Obviously, there must be some relationship between drugs and justice... as expectation is a powerful thing... as we enter YEAR FOUR!

2. Numismatic Article re the Liberty Dollar - Published!
I am pleased to inform you that the long awaited Coin World article regarding third party grading of the Liberty Dollar specie specimens has been published and is available HERE. The significance of this Front Page article is that ANACS, a major independent coin grading company, has defied the Department of Injustice's contention that the Liberty Dollar is contraband, thereby confirming the Liberty Dollar remains a hot collectible and that the "blue meanies" at the FBI, Secret Service, etc have been rendered ineffective by the contemporary collectible community. This article shouts volumes about individual preferences, lack of respect of the government's case against BVNH and the sheer power and popularity of collecting gold and silver in general and Liberty Dollar in particular.

In a hundred years from now, there is little doubt that the Liberty Dollar will be grouped with other notable monetary efforts that includes the Federal Judicial Western District of North Carolina's very own Christopher Bechtler Gold Dollars from Rutherford County in 1831. If the federal government is so dedicated to protecting the almighty US dollar by destroying the Liberty Dollar then they must go after every Liberty Dollar and every collector. It must raid thousands and thousands of collectors. It must spend millions and millions of dollars and countless billions of court hours to back up their blatantly wrong-headed position that the Liberty Dollar is a $5 counterfeit quarter. Because by law - if it is indeed contraband - every last Liberty Dollar must be destroyed. Hopefully Judge Voorhees will grant my Motion for Acquittal and reestablish the rule of law. The choice seems clear. But the date for any action remains uncertain.

Five years ago this June 4…

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters!

1. Legal Update
Five years ago this June 4, I self-reported to the US Marshals Office in Fort Myers, Florida and was promptly arrested for counterfeiting etc. That was FIVE YEARS ago! And unfortunately, you and approx. 100,000 other innocent third party warehouse receipt holders are forced to wait for your wrongfully seized property to be returned. It has been three years and three months since conviction. Many thanks to you who have written the Court, to former US Assistant Attorney Tom Ashcraft who filed two brilliant Amicus Briefs in my behalf and to my sentencing attorney, Noell Tin, who filed a very well-written Motion for Acquittal. We can only pray that the Honorable Judge Voorhees is well aware that the jury did not follow the Jury Instructions, nor did they even have time to read them and that I simply had NO intent to counterfeit US coins. Keep the faith and I will let you know of any news.

2. Do you Snore?
Yes, I know snoring is off-topic for the Liberty Dollar News. But if anything is more important than monetary health, it must be our physical health. And as we all know, we feel terrible when we get a bad night's sleep. With that said, I have made this topic the second article, in hope that if you snore, you will read it. Just click HERE.

3. The Dwindling Fed
Editorial by The New York Sun | May 13, 2014
The Federal Reserve, for the first time in its 100-year history, is on the verge of operating with just three governors, the New York Times is reporting this morning. It says that the "dwindling of its board" is "straining the Fed's ability to manage its complex responsibilities." That's the good news. The bad news is that it's not yet clear whether Congress will rise to the occasion and - oh, say - audit the Fed to see what is going on there. This is a crisis that Senator Rand Paul, for one, wants to avoid wasting.

4. Russia, China sign Huge Deal to bypass U.S. dollar
In a symbolic blow to U.S. global financial hegemony, Russia and China took a small step toward undercutting the domination of the U.S. dollar as the international reserve currency when Russia's second biggest financial institution, VTB, signed a deal with the Bank of China to bypass the dollar and pay each other in domestic currencies. Click HERE for the complete article.

5. The London Silver Fix Is Officially Dead
The London Silver Market Fixing Limited announced that it will cease to administer the London Silver Fixing after close of business on 14 August 2014. Until then, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Bank USA N.A. and the Bank of Nova Scotia will administer the London Silver Fixing and continue to liaise with the FCA and other stakeholders.

With the demise of the London Silver Fix, I can only hope the free market forces will lead to the end of the London Gold Fix. There is no FIX on beef, corn, oil or other commodities so why should metal be fixed?! It is obvious that market is changing, I can only hope that means freer. Time will tell.

6. How the DOJ Lied to Protect the NSA
How did Hitler rise to power and enslave Germany? One court decision after another! Ditto for America and the US Supreme Court! Everyone should know just how much the government lied to defend the NSA. A web of deception has finally been untangled: the Justice Department got the US Supreme Court to dismiss a case that could have curtailed the NSA's dragnet. Read this article how it happened!

7. Was Fort Knox Looted of 7,000 Tons of Gold?
While many of us have heard the stories of the military trucks stealing away in the dead of night with tons of gold from Fort Knox, it is refreshing to re-discover the articles from July 19, 1974 by none other than the LA Times and the December 15, 1981 article by the Globe. These articles from many years ago cry out to have OUR gold audited and these persistent rumors put to rest. Now that the government finally admitted prior knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor and allowed over 3000 American to be murdered, we should know if the government really shipped off 7,000 tons of gold to England to save their Tory ass. Click HERE for the historical documents.

8. Forbes on the Gold Standard
Steve Forbes deserves a Gold Medal for taking such an astute stand for those monetary principles embodied by the Gold Standard. Not only did he run for President of the US three times and trumpeted the advantages of the Gold Standard, he has written, spoken and aired numerous articles in support of the Gold Standard. Plus, he gets it right, unlike so many talking heads in the gold community who really do not understand the Gold Standard or the Free Banking monetary model. It is with great pleasure include these three latest articles.

10. Boston Globe, LA Times Declare Obummer Incompetent
Yes, many of us know how bad Obummer is. Unfortunately, 38% of Americans still "think" he is doing a good job! A good job? At what?! So it is shocking that the Boston Globe, LA Times and other lamestream "news" papers side with the 62% majority and call him incompetent! Here are two recent articles.

Closing Remarks:
Many thanks for tuning in for another issue of the Liberty Dollar News and your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" that we will be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

1. Legal Update
There is no news, except this is a sick situation that seems to go on without end. Of course it will end, we just don't know when. I think most of the defense's problem lies with the jury not following the Jury Instructions and the weak Closing Arguments made by dumb attorney, Randy Lee. He spoke for only ten of the forty minutes he had to win the case. He failed. Please click HERE for his Closing Arguments. (Note attached doc to post)

2. Death of the Dollar Standard
For more than four years Michael Maloney, author and monetary historian, has been demonstrating to audiences around the world that every 30-40 years the world has an entirely new global monetary system, that the current monetary system (the U.S. dollar standard) is aging and becoming unstable, and just like the previous monetary systems, will soon implode.

On June 1, 2014, at the Cambridge House Investment Conference in Vancouver, Canada, he updated his "Death of the Dollar" presentation and showed how the "Nails in the Coffin of the Dollar Standard" are now coming faster and are more furious than ever before. He believes that there will be a global currency crisis before the end of this decade and that the days of the dollar standard are numbered.

Co-authored with Elizabeth Ames, MONEY, explains why a gold standard is the only way to a true recovery and a prosperous economy. Steve mentions BVNH on page 2 in the first chapter.

4. James Grant Speaks Out about the Gold Standard
Grant argued for a return to the gold standard in the very halls of fiat money! It seems the New York Fed is asking some of its critics to come and speak. I have read some of the speeches, but this is the best so far for several reasons, not the least of which is that it contains some very funny lines. If you find yourself invited to the lion's den, Grant seems to think, 'it is best to make fun of their teeth! You really have to admire his courage. I think I would be a little concerned that I might be on the menu!'

5. Gold - Undervalued
The annual "In Gold We Trust" report on gold by market analyst Ronald-Peter Stoferle of Incrementum AG in Lietchtenstein, asserts that gold is spectacularly undervalued but already being remonetized even as its market is manipulated as governments pursue a policy of "financial repression." Stoferle's report is comprehensive and encouraging for mining share ownership as well as ownership of the metal itself.

6. Kickstarter for a New Movie on Bitcoin
Torsten Hoffmann interviewed me for his new documentary about Bitcoin: a topic you can't afford not to understand. Bitcoin has been called the greatest and most important technological development since the Internet. Others call it a Ponzi scheme or expect the Government to ban it. While the mainstream media jumps on every scandalous story, most people have no real understanding of Bitcoin as currency let alone of Bitcoin's potential as a technological platform that could change billions of lives. It will explore the important questions: Will all banks be doomed? Will Governments lose their monopoly over money? How can billions of people benefit from financial services they never had access to before?

Torsten's project Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It is available on Kickstarter.

Personally, I find this humorous, but understandable as this hardback edition was never sold and was only given as a personal present. Hopefully the seller got the $2,432.64 because it is not available now.

Closing Remarks:
Many thanks for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" that we will be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

A lot of the updates were filled with declarations of a lack of news and political diatribes. So they were either not posted or deleted after I thought about it. Eh.

And if there's political stuff in those newsletters, you people know better than to respond to it.

3. Steve Forbes new gold standard book
Steve Forbes new book: "Money - How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy - and What We Can Do About it" is a Hit!

Forbes Media Chairman and Editor In Chief Steve Forbes' new book explains that today's wrong-headed monetary policies are setting the stage for a new global economic and social catastrophe that could rival the recent financial crisis and even the horrors of the 1930s. Co-authored with Elizabeth Ames, MONEY, explains why a gold standard is the only way to a true recovery and a prosperous economy. Steve mentions BVNH on page 2 in the first chapter.

4. James Grant Speaks Out about the Gold Standard
Grant argued for a return to the gold standard in the very halls of fiat money! It seems the New York Fed is asking some of its critics to come and speak. I have read some of the speeches, but this is the best so far for several reasons, not the least of which is that it contains some very funny lines. If you find yourself invited to the lion's den, Grant seems to think, 'it is best to make fun of their teeth! You really have to admire his courage. I think I would be a little concerned that I might be on the menu!'

5. Gold - Undervalued
The annual "In Gold We Trust" report on gold by market analyst Ronald-Peter Stoferle of Incrementum AG in Lietchtenstein, asserts that gold is spectacularly undervalued but already being remonetized even as its market is manipulated as governments pursue a policy of "financial repression." Stoferle's report is comprehensive and encouraging for mining share ownership as well as ownership of the metal itself.

6. Kickstarter for a New Movie on Bitcoin
Torsten Hoffmann interviewed me for his new documentary about Bitcoin: a topic you can't afford not to understand. Bitcoin has been called the greatest and most important technological development since the Internet. Others call it a Ponzi scheme or expect the Government to ban it. While the mainstream media jumps on every scandalous story, most people have no real understanding of Bitcoin as currency let alone of Bitcoin's potential as a technological platform that could change billions of lives. It will explore the important questions: Will all banks be doomed? Will Governments lose their monopoly over money? How can billions of people benefit from financial services they never had access to before?

10. BVNH 2003 "Solution" book was $2,432.64 on Amazon!
Personally, I find this humorous, but understandable as this hardback edition was never sold and was only given as a personal present. Hopefully the seller got the $2,432.64 because it is not available now.

Closing Remarks:
Many thanks for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" that we will be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Thank you again for all your efforts to return America to value - one dollar at a time!

Makes me wonder if he got sentenced according to Code of Hammurabi guidelines.

No, I don't think they are homeless because they counterfeited US currency; only you were stupid enough to take that route. And I don't think that the majority of them are homeless because they are being blacklisted from renting. But here's a hint: it may have something to do with them lacking money or jobs.

The felony convictions and being a generally nasty person probably don't help either.

Bernie still hasn't figured it out, and still hasn't got a clue.

Which was further compounded by damn little money for a $80 per night motel room during the "high season" in Florida and that I have not worked for the past five years since my arrest and conviction.

Aww, diddums, poor likkle felon. It's been about 25 years since I've been to Florida but "high season" at the Christmas holidays lasted about 1 day. By the 27th rates were back to "very-low-season-and-we'll-take-anything" rates.

On November 10, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina rejected challenges by Bernard von NotHaus to his convictions. The Court issued a 47 page opinion, which I have not yet read in its entirety.

Excerpt:

Defendant appears to raise two primary categories of challenges to his conviction (and charging indictment). One, Defendant alleges that certain of the laws he was convicted under, 18 U.S.C. §§ 485 and 486, are unconstitutional as applied in this instance. Two, Defendant alleges that the evidence presented by the Government was insufficient, as a matter of law, to support any criminal intent (or counterfeit) finding given his good faith belief that his conduct and the LDO [Liberty Dollar] operation was lawful.

[ . . .]

For the reasons stated herein, the Court finds that 18 U.S.C. §§ 485 and 486 are constitutional as applied to this Defendant. As a result, the Court finds no appealable defect in the indictment or the jury instructions. Defendant was given a chance to present his case before an impartial jury, and this jury found Defendant guilty and his defense unpersuasive. There is a heavy burden to prove that a jury’s verdict and findings of facts are wrong. Defendant has not carried his burden, and the court denies Defendant’s motions.

---Memorandum and Order, Nov. 10, 2014, docket entry 270, United States v. Bernard von NotHaus, case no. 5:09-cr-00027-RLV-DCK, U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (Statesville Div.).

Sentencing has been set for December 2, 2014.

Quatloos!
