Feds Raid 'Liberty Dollar' HQ in Ind.
By RYAN LENZ - 15 minutes ago

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - Federal agents raided the headquarters of a group that produces illegal currency and puts it in circulation, seizing gold, silver and two tons of copper coins featuring Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Agents also took records, computers and froze the bank accounts at the "Liberty Dollar" headquarters during the Thursday raid, Bernard von NotHaus, founder of the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act & Internal Revenue Code, said in an interview.

The organization, which is critical of the Federal Reserve, has repeatedly clashed with the federal government, which contends that the gold, silver and copper coins it produces are illegal. NORFED claims its Liberty Dollars are inflation free and can restore stability to financial markets by allowing commerce based on a currency that does not fluctuate in value like the U.S. dollar.

"They're running scared right now and they had to do something," von NotHaus told The Associated Press Friday. "I'm volunteering to meet the agents and get arrested so we can thrash this out in court."

Wendy Osborne, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Indianapolis office, declined to comment and referred all questions to the U.S. attorney's office for the Western District of North Carolina. Suellen Pierce, a spokeswoman for that office, also declined to comment.

In a federal seizure warrant given to the AP by von NotHaus, federal agents allege the money and other properties seized in the raid were linked to money laundering, mail fraud and wire fraud.

The raid comes eight months after von NotHaus filed a lawsuit in federal court in Evansville seeking a permanent injunction to stop the federal government from labeling the Liberty Dollar an illegal currency.

The U.S. Mint issued a warning this year that the Liberty Dollar violated the Constitution and warned consumers against using them unsuspectingly.

Paul's campaign said it had not authorized production of the Ron Paul dollars.

"We have no connection with that," said Jesse Benton, a campaign spokesman for Paul. "He was using Ron as a marketing technique. We didn't have anything to do with that or sanction it or give permission in any way."

The Federal government has shut down the Liberty Dollar organization working to
educate the American people about the difference between unbacked fiat currencies
and silver and gold backed currencies.

The 3 most important monopolies for fascism is Guns, Drugs, and Money. If you
control all the money you have control of the guns and drugs also.

As the dollar continues it's collapse while the printing presses work overtime to
print more dollars more people will buy gold, silver and foreign currencies and
assets to preserve their wealth. One day these avenues will also be made illegal
in order to prevent people from hoarding wealth.

"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to
protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There
is no safe store of value. If there were, the government
would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the
case of gold.... The financial policy of the welfare state
requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to
protect themselves.

"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades
against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the
'hidden' confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of
this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property
rights."
- Alan Greenspan; "Gold and Economic Freedom"
