What I know about the Raid of Liberty Dollar

[Indy Vidual]

I agree, I'm sick. What's wrong with collecting gold coins or using them to barter. Hell, what's wrong with a competing currency to the monopolistic crap we have now. How is it any different than restaurants here in Texas accepting pesos?

You can eat in Texas with pesos?
Call the SS and FBI now!

HELLO?! Again for those of you just tuning in, there in an ONGOING case in Federal Court! It's still in litigation! It's not done yet!! No one is guilty yet!!

Hello what?

I said I hoped he is vindicated.

But being cynical, I suspect he will lose.

I was simply reiterating the legal angle presented on the Department of the Treasury's website.

SUSPECT he will lose? He's LOST and the case isn't even decided yet.
It is customary to wait until the case is tried, the verdict is in and delivered to all parties before confiscating one's private property.

Well, I'm on the Liberty Dollar customer list. Better pack my stuff and wait for the stormtroopers.

And so am I. And you know what? These <insert derogatory term> people are HERE in this FORUM, reading this post.

The way I see it:

This guy is screwed (maybe us too) if they can't get him on making the money they will create an illegality to put him away.


That is UNLESS Ron is Pres.

The difference is that a liberty dollar, unlike a peso, has actual value.

...just trying to make some levity in a really, really bad situation. This is truly an outrage, part of the descent into "guilty until proven innocent" or just plain "guilty cause I said so" mode of modern American Federal government.

LD shoulda shipped UPS or FedEx...

That is kind of ironic, that LD was a competing, private currency to the badly run [quasi]government one, and with the choice between a competing, private mail service and the badly run government one, they chose the latter.

Let that be a lesson to any free-marketers that are thinking about making ironic use of a public service. The free market doesn't take kindly to your doing that, and may come and get you.

private mail service and the badly run government one, they chose the latter.

Actually I have found the USPS to be more efficient and cheaper in most situations. Just my experience though.

Suspect.

You know, predict, project? Have a thesaurus handy?

I'm sorry, what on earth is your hang up?

You'll have to forgive me for not sharing your confidence that our dysfunctional legal system will vindicate this man. I certainly didn't endorse what happened. Good grief.

I've had mixed experiences. It depends on what you are sending. USPS *Can* be faster, but it is not on average or reliably faster for the same price. USPS has the advantage of delivering to my mail box, which UPS and Fedex can't do.

Also, they are subsidized, so it is not true that they are cheaper, since there is a hidden cost of paying them through my taxes.

If the raid took 6 hours, how did a past-tense report on it get released within an hour?

 

[specsaregood]

LOL, I'd be tempted to take a pic myself but mine is somewhere safe.

Yeah, that's the next step for me. It's the only one I got. I actually bought it to be used as a card holder while playing poker. Now I guess I gotta lock it up somewhere safe.

Um I think this is real - it's on their own website:

http://www.libertydollar.org/

And I think this is in response to the $4.3M we raised. They want to try to prevent us from doing the same on Dec 16th.
They also wanted all your names so they can implicate you in the 'crimes' of owning these precious metals.

This is very serious... and reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

We know it is real.

I would say in response to: 4.3million, Ron owning the Fed, and Ron going up in the polls.

And as far as Germany goes, you are correct.

Huh? What metal? All I have is this oddly shaped lump of silver. My damn necklace fell in the fireplace.

I've heard, but not been able to verify, that they also raided the good folks over at eGold. Any additional info would be appreciated.
