Chico -- Thanks for stopping by, and expressing outrage over the promiscuous use of lethal force by police.

If the fiat system is "working," why does the dollar consistently buy less? Breadwinners like myself with large families simply can't earn enough to keep up with the ever-accelerating and ever-elevating treadmill called price inflation. And saving money in dollars makes little sense when the value of our savings is stolen from us by the official counterfeiter, the Fed.

This ISN'T a trivial issue; it is the evil heart of the vile and vicious system under which we live. One relevant illustration: As the economy undergoes another contraction (typical of fiat money systems), property tax-starved state and local governments are becoming more aggressive in using the police as tax farmers. You know how the rest of that story plays out, I'll bet....

If you seriously don't believe that the fiat system is working, why can you buy something with any denomination of cash that you have? Because whoever you're buying that something from values the cash.

Furthermore, I challenge you to find a $100 bill on the street and simply tear it up as a "worthless piece of paper". The worth of that piece of paper doesn't come from what we are told by the Federal Reserve, it comes from the fact that your neighbor (or the next person that walks down the street) does believe in it's worth. That way, it can be used as a medium of exchange and make it easier to buy things. So until you're willing to give someone else all the "worthless paper" in your pockets right now, and willing to give up consumerism and carry precious metal and scales with you to make everyday transactions, stop making posts/comments about such a trivial subject and focus on why cops taser people at roadside stops for no apparent reason (which I applaud, by the way.)

"if the government gets away with stealing millions where no crime has been commited we are letting them them take our country"

LOL! Honestly. They "took" the country long before we ever sprang into the world. And as far as "stealing" money goes, well, look around, that should be self evident don't you think.

I can't help but speculate that the real reason behind the Liberty Dollar raid is because it eventually would undermine the commoners' collective trust in the fiat FRN currency.

After all, faith and trust in FRNs are the ONLY attributes that make them have any value to begin with since nothing tangible or of lasting value backs them.

So I think the image of Ron Paul engraved on one of those Liberty Dollars merely provided the perfect pretext to act NOW. The Feds actually have probably been planning a raid from its inception in 1998, but, firstly, weren't too concerned with the faith and trust issue previously because the dollar wasn't in a free fall on the international currency exhange market and thus the mainstream news coverage. Secondly, because the vast majority of the average commoners paid Liberty Dollars and other alternate currencies based on precious metals little mind.

However, with the dollar in a free fall on the international scene well-known AND Ron Paul's image engraved on a Liberty Dollar backed by precious metals, the Feds from their corrupted perspective had to act NOW rather than procrastinate any longer.

Ron Paul is becoming increasingly well-known to the average commoner and the dollar's contrived devaluation is mainstream news, so the Feds thus acted because the Liberty Dollar, or other exchange mechanisms like bartering, could NOW really begin to seriously imperil the collective commoner faith and trust in the fiat currency.

Again, speculating here, but logical speculation nonetheless, the elitists MUST retain adequate, if even residual by some measures, faith and trust in the fiat dollar by any means necessary, at least until the consumation of their plans to formulate the NAU and its new supranational currency, the Amero or whatever final nomenclature is settled upon.

How ironic. We have feds spending our funny money like it's 1999 and when someone goes about creating precious metal medallions they have a hissy fit. It reminds me of a report I read this past year where the U.S. mint was concerned about how much it cost to produce pennies! They were worried that somehow they were losing 44 million or so a year! I laughed until I cried. The absurdity of it all in light of the bogus "dollars" dumped down the drains of the Iraqi desert.

Here is an excellent parsing of the affidavit.

I think what has happened to our currency is worse than what happened to the Roman Empire when the coinage contained less and less precious metal.

In our case, the dollar went from being backed by a commodity to being backed by fiat, now it is increasingly harder to even do business in cash.

Electronic debit seems to be the rule of the day. Cogitate on that for a few minutes. Our currency went from actual gold and silver to 1's and 0's on a computer in less than 100 years.

I refer to the new US FRN's as "Monopoly Money".

William, are you serious? Someone actually described precious metal coins as monopoly money? Orwell!

I want to find that person and make fun of him.
