The FBI won a three-count conviction against precious-metals dealer Bernard von NotHaus on March 18 for the "crime" of minting memento "dollars" in silver, and the FBI charged in a press release that making silver coins is "domestic terrorism." Jurors came to the unanimous verdict after only two hours of deliberation.
"Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism," U.S. Attorney Anne M. Tompkins said in a March 18 FBI press release boasting of the verdict.
Making silver coins is "domestic terrorism"? Really?
"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," Tompkins added. "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."
I don't mean to harp on this too much, but I TOLD YOU SO. One of my first blogs for LibertyConspiracy.com dealt with my dealings with the Liberty Dollar, and the subsequent confiscation of my property.
I know that this is old news to some of you, but have a look back at my thoughts on the subject in my article
