Warning!!! The G-Boys Are At It Again
Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters:
WARNING! The G-boys are back! This time they are attacking the peaceful town of Asheville, North Carolina. As you may recall, on May 15, 2007 we reported "G-Boys Roust Liberty Dollar" when they attacked Mark Lightfoot's crafts and jewelry business in Lexington Kentucky.
Now, despite the lack of any complaint from a resident or business in Western North Carolina, US Secret Service and the FBI agents have launched a thorough investigation into the use of the Liberty Dollar in the Asheville area. Beginning April 3, rogue agents have tracked down people one by one from the easily available list of merchants and demanded answers regarding their use of the Liberty Dollar.
When asked about the reasons for the investigation and the frivolous use of taxpayer money, their response was:
1. That the Liberty Dollar is flirting with counterfeit laws
2. That the Liberty Dollar is not regulated by the government
3. That widespread use of the Liberty Dollar would further weaken the already weak US government issued dollar
The ridiculousness of their "reasoning"… let alone the law is… well… unreasonable! First, the Liberty Dollar does not "flirt" and is certainly not counterfeit. Second, like most businesses, the government does not regulate the Liberty Dollar. So what? Third, at a time when the government is spending a BILLION dollars a day on war alone, the thought that somehow a few Liberty Dollars per day would have any impact on the US dollar is beyond logic.
Fortunately, many Asheville merchants have called Kevin Innes, the local RCO, to report their "interrogation" by the G-boys with tones of incredulity in their voice. They also commented that their time was being wasted by government employees questioning them about the local currency and applauded Kevin for his efforts to promote a money that was good for the community, with integrity.
Each merchant was asked if they had any Liberty Dollars and, at least on one occasion, when the merchant said they had a Liberty Dollar, the officer stated that it was "contraband" and "asked" that it be turned over to them. Which the merchant did! Without a receipt or fair market compensation, the merchant's property was stolen! All this without the "officer" identifying himself or serving a search or seizure warrant!
Please note: While I am not an attorney, you are not required to give any information to any government agent unless you have been summoned to court and you are told to answer questions while under oath and even then, you cannot be forced to give any info against yourself or your spouse. There is absolutely no requirement to surrender any possession without each item being specifically mentioned in a seizure warrant signed by a judge and that it directly relates to a criminal investigation.
With such tactics and abuse of office I am forced to change the "G" in G-boys from little government boys with big badges to goons with little brains. People are not tolerating such gross misbehavior and theft of their property! Nor should you! Please report all such incidents to the Liberty Dollar.
I consider the actions of these government agents as a direct interference and disruption of Kevin Innes' honest RCO business activities through slander, harassment and intentional misrepresentation of the law. This assault on Kevin's business is clearly a violation of his First Amendment Right to use the Liberty Dollar as "expressive conduct". Shall we band together or be assaulted one by one? You may be next.
Such obvious action is a subversive effort to influence the "jury pool" before the Grand Jury meets and my subsequent trial to follow in Asheville. It is also obvious that the government does not have a case and are trying very hard to get one together. It now appears that the government is running scared. And that can be very dangerous. As the US dollar collapses… though that is NOT the intent of the Liberty Dollar… this situation will get worse. Be forewarned: we, our money and the government are entering a very dangerous time. Tyranny ahead! Look out!
If approached by a G-boy please treat him/her with respect and get the agent's name or badge number. You need NOT give any additional info. Please report any such incident to Liberty Dollar: 888.LIB.DOLLAR or 888.421.6181.
On a happier note: Liberty Dollar is set to Move Up to the $50 Silver Base! Two weeks from today, the Liberty Dollar will respond to higher silver prices and Move Up from the $20 to the $50 Base. And while the empty heads argue that move is too big, the Liberty Dollar is expressively designed to mirror the Federal Reserve denominations and put you ahead of "inflation" so you can profit. You cannot profit when you are behind inflation!
Doesn't it just make sense that when the underlying commodity that backs the currency increases in value, shouldn't the purchasing power of that currency also increase in value? Of course. And isn't that the essence of an inflation proof currency? Absolutely! In fact, when you think about it, the only way the Liberty Dollar can accommodate higher commodity prices is to increase its Face Value. And that is why the Liberty Dollar is set to Move Up to the $50 Silver Base on Easter Sunday, March 23, 2008.
Do you want to TWO AND HALF TIMES YOUR MONEY?! Get some Liberty Dollars before March 23, 2008. The Move Up is just two weeks away. Please visit www.LibertyDollar.org or call 888.LIB.DOLLAR or 888.421.6181. Please be forewarned that our phone and email service is a bit slow as the office struggles to keep up.
Funds postmarked or received before Sunday, March 23 will be accepted at the current market rate. Thanks again for all your support.
Immediately following the Move Up, you can exchange your $10 or $20 Base currency for the new $50 Base. As your silver needs to be melted, rolled, blanked and coined into one of four sizes of the new $50 Base Libertys, there is a reminting fee. This fee varies with the size of the Silver Liberty. PLEASE NOTE: Special reduced reminting fees are available on all four Liberty Dollars for 30 DAYS. All material received or postmarked before April 22 will be reissued at the Special Reduced rates.
$50 Remint Rate Schedule
Liberty// Regular Remint Rate// Special Remint Rate for 30 Days
$50// $5.00// $4.00
$20// $3.00// $2.00
$10// $2.00// $1.50
$5// $1.50// $1.25
If you wish to convert ounces of Liberty Dollars into different denominations the formula for the reminting fee (in addition to the silver) is: Base Value divided by Face Value multiplied by the ounces to be converted multiplied by the reminting rate.
For example: Using the Special Remint rate: If you wished to convert 3 ounces into $10 Libs, the math is: 50 divided by 10 X 3 X $1.50 = $22.50 USD total or silver at spot.
PLEASE NOTE: The Special Remint Rate expires at midnight on April 22. 2008.
On a very serious note: I regret to tell you that most likely Sarah Bledsoe will not be returning to work after recovering from her surgery. This leaves the Evansville Office empty. I regret that temporarily you will most likely experience poor to non-existent phone and email service… as I struggle to deal with the latest problems. Mail Order will continue… but maybe not from Evansville. The Liberty Dollar needs some help…Do you have a background in business? Are you business savvy? Like the Liberty Dollar? Want to stand up for your right to "just weights and measures"? Not afraid of the G-boys? I know that is a tall bill, but I simply cannot do it all. Please contact me if you can help.
If you placed an order and have not received it, please send an email to Order@LibertyDollar.org and someone will reply asap.
On a positive note: We have a new bank account. Please make out your checks to LIBERTY NUMISMATICS… or just LIBERTY and mail your orders to the same address: Liberty Numismatics. 225 N. Stockwell Rd. Evansville. IN. 47715.

Note from RE: I've always had a strange personal preference of silver over gold, in part because it's always brought me good fortune. In all the years I've been involved in the Liberty Dollar, I've done very well, even after my losses from the government theft of several thousands of my assets (other associates lost 10's of thousands). Although quite a few dropped out of the LD after the raid, many remain resolute, and quite a few new members have joined. They were smart enough to take advantage of the offer to join free, until Easter.
Why is silver now a better investment than gold? There are many reasons, and some clues are to be found in recent posts on RMN. Whether we're technically in a recession or not, is irrelevant. We're in a depression that will get worse before it gets better. The sub-prime mortgages, and other crap you hear on MSM are the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The games the big boys have been playing, like derivatives, etc. will haunt us for some time to come, and the rest of the world is getting sick of buying any more of our debt. In the last 10 years alone, the Dollar has lost 50% of its purchasing power. Several years ago, China publicly warned of their intention to bury the U.S. economically, and our greedy leaders have been playing into their hands. But, enough of that.
Why silver over gold? There are many reasons, and here are a few, most of which I learned from Ted Butler.
Never before in history have there been so many converging factors that demand much higher silver prices. Silver is more rare than gold. It’s an industrial metal, for which there is no cheaper or better substitute. Most of all the gold ever mined remains. Not so with silver. Demand for silver has been outstripping supply for over 60 years. The U.S. government, once the world’s greatest supplier, ran out of silver in 2000. Back then you could buy an ounce of silver in the $4-5 range. Spot gold was around $250 an ounce, and oil was in the $30 a barrel range. It’s not that commodities are more expensive. The Dollar is worth less (soon to be worthless). Petroleum is the only other commodity with more applications and uses, and as technology and markets continue to expand, so will the demand for more silver.
Billions of Chinese, Indians, and other Asian citizens want and need their piece of the industrial pie. The gold and silver markets have been artificially manipulated for decades to keep the price low. This seems to be coming to an end. There are few silver mines. Remember, silver is a byproduct of other commodity mines, like copper, which is also in greater demand. Hell, people are stealing the copper wiring and tubing out of unoccupied buildings!
Junk coins, or junk money? Who do you trust more, the government, or the market? Two years ago, I could buy the American silver eagle in the $8 range. Today, I can buy them in the $22 range. And glory hallelujah, I can take them to the bank or pay my taxes with them, because they’re real government legal tender with a face value of $1! ONE DOLLAR! On the other hand, my plain old 2005 1 ounce Liberty dollars I paid $8.95 for two years ago are selling on eBay in the high $20’s. Just Google “norfed liberty dollar” and see what you come up with.
Yeah, I love the silver game. Less than 6 months ago, I bought 100-ounce bars for less than $1300, and I didn’t take possession of them, since storage is free. Today, I could sell them easily for over $2000. What do you think I’ll get for them in a year or so? Who knows, but there are many reasons that silver could spike to $200 an ounce or more, and I know of NO reason for silver to go south in the long term. For my money, buying physical silver is the best investment, and least risky of all. And yes, I will continue to buy Liberty dollars in all denominations, and they ARE fun to own. Only about 0.5% of the world population has heard about silver, so It’s not at all too late to get in.
So, take yourself to http://www.investmentrarities.com/ and get up to speed on Ted Butler. I particular recommend reading THOUGHTS FROM IZZY Mid February 2008 He’s Butler’s mentor. In a previous article he mentioned he bought his house in 1980 for 2500 ounces of silver. In the above article he says in 15 or 20 years, “I think 1,000 ounces of silver will buy a 3-bedroom apartment in Manhattan in Trump Towers.”
Be good. RE~
