Constitution: Message from Bernard

The following is a message from Bernard von NotHaus, recently convicted of the private minting of bullion coins made of pure silver, which do not "resemble" any U.S. coin, and which are worth more than any silver coin that was minted by the U.S. in the past. The message is posted here for your information.

... I just met with my chief defense attorney, Aaron Michel, who is very concerned with the government’s effort to mislead the people, just as they misled the jury. He pointed out that the gov is now trying to brand all local non-government currencies as illegal and anybody who expresses opposition to the current US monetary policy as a “unique terrorist” who represents “a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country.” The alarming statement in the Department of Justice press release by U.S. Attorney Anna Tompkins should concern every American. Tompkins said: “Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism. While these forms of anti-government activities do not involve violence, they are every bit as insidious and represent a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country. We are determined to meet these threats through infiltration, disruption, and dismantling of organizations which seek to challenge the legitimacy of our democratic form of government.” Seth Lipsky’s article in The New York Sun regarding a “Unique form of Terrorism” confirms that the gov can tailor terrorism to any definition they want or need for any circumstance. Lipsky’s article should only be the beginning of a much larger public outcry. It is clear that the government it trying to grossly expand its power to control the people’s basic rights of freedom of speech, expression and action regarding monetary policy. For example the Department of Justice press release added this statement, “… and to insure a singular monetary system for all purchases and debts in the United States, public and private” to their quote of Article 1, section 8 clause 5 of the US Constitution, when no such law or even idea, exists outside of the hyperbole of the DOJ. We live in a very dangerous time of mounting price inflation, social unrest and expanding wars all based on an undisciplined monetary system run by madmen. Please take action. Write an article, your Congressman, Senator, Attorney General, Letter to the Editor of your local newspaper and encourage your email list to do the same. There is an urgent need for a massive outcry and I urge you to speak out and encourage others, who support the principles of a free market, to also speak out. Silence in the face of tyranny is consent. Thank you for your support to return American to value. Sincerely, Bernard von NotHaus Monetary Architect Eight Current articles: Did Bernard von NotHaus Counterfeit Coins? http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/82406.html Ron Paul Legislation for Repeal of legal tender laws Page 1: http://editions.amospublishing.com/WDCN/print.aspx?d=20110404&s=7&e=7&r=150 Page 2: http://editions.amospublishing.com/WDCN/print.aspx?d=20110404&s=42&e=42&r=150 Von NotHaus guilty on all counts http://www.coinworld.com/News/20110328/Bulletin820110328.aspx The New Face Of Terror by Chris Duane http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/03.11/liberty.html A ‘Unique’ Form of ‘Terrorism’ by Sun editor Seth Lipsky http://www.nysun.com/editorials/a-unique-form-of-terrorism/87269/ Press Release by the FBI of Charlotte... http://charlotte.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel11/ce031811.htm Liberty Dollar creator convicted in federal court http://www.citizen-times.com/article/20110319/NEWS01/110319006/1001/news/Liberty-Dollar-fake-currency-creator-convicted-federal-court?odyssey=nav|head Liberty Dollar founder convicted on federal charges by David Forbes http://www.mountainx.com/blogwire/2011/liberty_dollar_founder_convicted_on_federal_charges
