Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

July 15, 2008

Last November, federal agents seized roughly $3 million in coins produced by the Indiana-based Liberty Dollar movement.
During the past decade, a small but growing number of fully informed buyers and sellers began to use Liberty Dollar gold and silver coins in mutually beneficial barter.
The Constitution specifies that only gold and silver can be used as legal tender. Nevertheless, the Federal Government insists that the private use of real money is a species of forgery. On that basis it seized the Liberty Dollars.
The Feds have now issued official notice of their intent to ?forfeit? the stolen coins ? that is, to make its act of theft permanent.
As Shakespeare wrote, ?Thieves for their robbery have authority when judges steal themselves.? In our system, the biggest thieves control both the police and the courts ? and all of them serve the world?s biggest counterfeiter, the Federal Reserve.
Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
