Bernard Von NotHaus's conviction; perverse, monstrous and very, very dangerous

Bernard Von NotHaus, the owner of Liberty Dollars, has committed no crime. That, however, is not enough in today's fucked-up America. Indeed the words of US attorney Anne Tomkins...

"Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism."

... reveal who the real domestic terrorists are: The Federal Reserve. Quoting from Article One of the US Constitution:

Section. 10.No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

So, where the fuck does that leave Bernanke's counterfeiting crime syndicate? May the ghost of Andrew Jackson rise from the grave and bring vengeance down on these apostates! Meanwhile, here's another indicator that Nothaus is on the side of the angels, the despicable Southern Poverty Law Center are against him:

... von NotHaus' group has been followed for years by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that tracks political extremism. Long before the government began its investigation into von NotHaus, the group was raising concerns about the popularity of Liberty Dollars among fringe groups on the far right.

"He's playing on a core idea of the radical right, that evil bankers in the Federal Reserve are ripping you off by controlling the money supply," said Mark Potok, spokesman for the group. "He very much exists in the world of the anti-government patriot movement, whatever he may say. That's who his customers are."

That's right, folks. If you've noticed the depreciation in the value of the Fed's paper dollar, or for any other reason you favour precious metals as a store of wealth, you are a terrorist, at least according to the vile SPLC.

The irony, as the Fed dollar slides, is that a one-ounce silver coin marked 20 Liberty dollars on silver content alone is worth $38.50 today, so a funny kind of counterfeiting operation.
