Have you heard about the FBI raid on Liberty Dollars today?

apparently at 8am this morning FBI agents raided Norfed and seized all gold, paper and coin dollar pieces and books, computers etc. Does anyone else agree that this is a huge assault on freedom and an outrage?

Bernard von Nothaus has not stated in his written communication as to whether or not any charges were filed or indictments handed down.

    Yes, I have been following this police action and I think it's an outrage also!!!

    Here is a link.....Scroll down:

    Apparently, it is NOT illegal to TRADE goods & services using any medium of exchange, including Gold, Silver, Copper, Apples, or wheat,,,etc. etc.

    What ever happened to

    U. S. Constitutional Amendment IV:

    "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against "Unreasonable" searches and seizures shall not be violated,,,,"

    Now, the president has passed special legislation concerning helping the enemy, however I doubt VERY much if this Liberty Dollar seizure had anything to do with that stuff.

    Since Mr. von Nothaus said about 2 tons of Ron Paul coins were confiscated, some of the members of my Ron Paul meet-up group felt it was an attack on Ron Pauls campaign, because a portion of the sales money was to be donated to the Ron Paul campaign.

    Dirty Politics? I don't know!

    But this was quoted today:

    When In The Course Of Human Events....etc. etc.!

    It may be an assault on freedom, but it is not a new one.

    Under the Constitution, Congress has the exclusive power to coin money of the United States. Congress has delegated its authority to mint and issue coins to the Secretary of Treasury, and Congress requires the Secretary to carry out these duties at the United States Mint.

    LOL! Never heard of Norfed; thanks for the laugh.

    Making his own coinage. What a wackjob. I wonder if they confiscated all the beans and jugs of water he stockpiled before Y2K?

    Let me guess, my crystal ball tells me he was also a "tax protester"?
