Feds Scared of Constitutional Money

Federal Reserve’s Debt-based  Money Scam in Trouble,

Feds Propagandize Against Use of Silver

By:  David Deschesne, Editor

Fort Fairfield Journal, September, 2006

The same U.S. government that has given itself authority to use chemical/biological weapons on the American Citizenry and use Humvee-mounted microwave canons against them (see this editorial) now wants to convince you that using Constitutionally-mandated money is a “crime.”  

In a recent anti-silver hit piece in USA TODAY, writer Barbara Hagenbaugh towed the line on government propaganda in order to prop up confidence in the failing, debt-backed U.S. dollar.

   Hagenbaugh quotes U.S. Mint spokeswoman Becky Bailey, “We don’t want consumers to be fooled,” as Bailey notes US Attorneys offices across the United States have noticed a marked increase in inquiries about the silver Liberty Dollar.

   Consumers have been fooled, but not by the use of the Liberty Dollar, which is comprised of .999 silver, but by the Federal Reserve’s debt-based fiat money system.

   Federal Reserve notes were authorized for “all debts public and private” with House Joint Resolution 192 in June, 1933.  Since they are notes (also known as loans), they are all backed by debt, rather than tangible material.  However, Federal Reserve Notes may only forcefully be used to discharge debts; a person or corporation is not required by law to accept them in trade for a product or service being rendered at the point of sale - only after the product or service has been exchanged is there a debt which Federal Reserve Notes can be compulsorily used.     

   Hagenbaugh indicates the Justice Department has determined the use of silver Liberty dollars as “a crime” and also quotes Bailey, “The United States Mint is the only entity that can produce coins.”  

     The U.S. Constitution, which is still the supreme law of the land, only allows for the use of gold or silver coin as a tender in payment of debts.  That clause has never been amended or rescinded.  H.J.R. 192 only says payment in gold or silver coin is "against public policy" - it doesn't state it's a "crime."

   For a time, Federal Reserve Notes circulated side-by-side with Constitutional money, also known as silver certificates.  Eventually, those silver certificates were discontinued in favor of the Federal Reserve’s private debt money scheme.

   The silver Liberty Dollars are minted by a private company called the National Organization to Repeal the Federal Reserve Act (NORFED).  Along with pre-1964 US coinage, they are the only coins in circulation today that are in compliance with the U.S. Constitution.

   Like NORFED, the Federal Reserve is also a private corporation.  However, rather than creating money from a wealth-based tangible such as silver, the Federal Reserve creates so-called “money” from other people’s promissory notes - money that they then collect interest from.

   As tangible property, the Liberty Dollar can be legally traded for any other property without the use of the Federal Reserve’s private paper money - just as we may trade a set of snow tires for a lawn mower.

    This has the Feds upset.  Because silver owes no debt and those who hold it may trade in private, without the use of usurious interest.

   Hagenbaugh displays her ignorance of money systems by referring in her article to the money at banks as being “real” when in reality, all Federal Reserve notes and checks are fake money because they are all owed back to a bank somewhere in the Federal Reserve system.  By Constitutional standards, gold or silver coin is still the only real money in the United States, it’s just that absolute criminals in the Congress, Senate and Judiciary - not to mention the President - repeatedly fail to acknowledge the words of the Constitution they swore to uphold.

   Perry’s Mini Mart in Presque Isle, Maine is this area’s source for the private wealth-based Liberty Dollar, which comes in a one-ounce $20.00 coin.   The coins trade at over five hundred businesses in Maine, with one hundred of them in Aroostook County.

  Any private property - silver included - can be traded for other private property; Liberty dollars are private property.  Bailey is incorrect in her assessment of the Mint.   Many companies produce coins and tokens that function legally as money - just look at the tokens and chips in Las Vegas.  If we all wanted to use Popsicle sticks as money, we could and the banks and government would lose their collective grip on our wallets overnight!

   For years, the US government maintained silver Liberty dollars were lawful and were not counterfeit.  Now that the world is losing faith in the American citizenry to pay back debt they can no longer afford, they are also looking to other forms of currency.  Whenever a country or society chooses not to use Federal Reserve Notes, the US Military is called in to crush them, in order to prop up the failing debt money.  Now that Americans are getting wise to the Federal Reserve’s debt money scheme, the Feds are doing what they do best - keep the people stupid and use willing accomplices in the mainstream media to produce hit pieces against a lawful money system that threatens their profits and existence.

   That propaganda worked in the 1930s, perhaps Americans today will be wiser.
