Silver and Gold Liberty Dollars Can be Confiscated by the Federal Government now - Except if using for Educational display.

So it has begun.

The Federal government has determined it can and will confiscate all Silver and Gold Liberty Dollars that are displayed openly and not for educational uses only in displays.  In other words all the Liberty Dollars in stores on Ebay for sale can/will be confiscated by the federal government.

There was a trial earlier this year in North Carolina against Bernard von NotHaus, the founder and creator of the Liberty Dollar.  He was convicted by a jury for creating an alternate currency.  The Liberty dollars are now considered counterfeits, contraband and subject to seizure.

This is so totally outrageous!  This is simply an excuse for the government to try and get as much silver and gold they can from the public and desperation on the part of the government.

The Liberty Dollars did not resemble any coin in the U.S. nor did it bill itself as an alternate currency.  It has and was a collectors coin of pure silver and gold.

Here is a picture of the Silver Eagle, which the Liberty Dollar does not resemble at all.

 portions of the article:

Rose served as lead prosecutor in the Bernard von NotHaus case. Von NotHaus, creator of the Liberty Dollars, was convicted in federal court in March on multiple charges involving the alternative currency.
Rose said because von NotHaus’ conviction included violations of Sections 485 and 486 of Title 18 of the United States Code, the Liberty Dollar medallions were determined to be counterfeits, contraband and subject to seizure.

ANA officials also spoke with officials of the United States Mint. The U.S. Mint’s legal counsel, Daniel P. Shaver, referred ANA officials to the U.S. Secret Service.

As a result of not receiving a written declaration on federal agency letterhead permitting their display, ANA officials denied Zylstra the opportunity to exhibit the Liberty Dollars at the ANA convention over concerns the medallic contents of the exhibit could be seized.

Bieda said he has not seen any indication from federal authorities that they plan a concerted move to confiscate privately held Liberty Dollars.

“I note that the pieces are being sold and traded on on-line auction sites such as eBay, and have personally seen these pieces sold at local coin shows and coin shops, all without any apparent legal consequence,” Bieda said. “Thus, it would be my recommendation that should an exhibitor want to place an exhibit involving these pieces, and assuming that all the other relevant exhibitor criteria is satisfied, that they be allowed to do so.

“In any event, the hosting numismatic association would not be responsible should the federal government or any other legal authority take legal action or move to confiscate that or any other exhibit. That risk is entirely on the exhibitor.”

Following a six-day trial, on March 18, a federal jury in Statesville, N.C., convicted von NotHaus — founder of NORFED (National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Code), its subsequent Liberty Services, and monetary architect of the Liberty Dollar — of conspiracy against the United States; making coins resembling and similar to U.S. coins; of issuing, passing, selling and possessing Liberty Dollar coins; and of issuing and passing Liberty Dollar coins intended for use as current money.

My Interview with David Morgan 2/17/11 about the RED ALERT email from Roger Wiegand regarding Confiscation of Gold and Silver this year. We also Discussed Fake Gold and Silver!

David Morgan

David Morgan of Silver-Investor was generous to take time out of his busy schedule to do an interview with me today regarding the RED ALERT email he received from Roger Wiegand of WeBeatTheStreet.


David Morgan discusses the RED ALERT email and his thoughts on the potential of confiscation of metals this year and he addresses the potential of fake gold and silver on the market. 

Due to our using David Morgan's system to do the interview.   I am not able to embed the interview into this post, but David has been kind enough to let the audio of the interview be hosted through his site at Silver-Investor, so please click this link to hear the interview.

David mentions in the interview, he does not believe gold and silver will be confiscated, though others do.  He also said Roger is not someone who would put out the RED ALERT email, without having some real sources to back it up.  He discusses how there have been fake gold and silver bars on the market, with previous discovery of 100 ounce silver bars filled with lead in the 1970s.  David gives a great interview regarding what people are concerned about with gold and silver.


My interview with Roger Wiegand on 2/16/11 can be found here.

I would like to thank both David Morgan and Roger Wiegand for doing the interviews with me regarding the RED ALERT email!  I sincerely appreciate the time both took out of their very busy schedules to talk to me about the RED ALERT potential of confiscation.

A BONUS

At the end of the interview I let David know his Matrix video he did was killer and awesome!  This video I have watched multiple times, because it is so cool!  David explains briefly the reasoning of his creating this Matrix video.  I am inserting the video here for everyone's enjoyment, but listen to the interview for why he did it!

My Interview with Roger Wiegand regarding RED ALERT Email about Confiscation of Gold Possibility this Year for a New World Currency

 Roger Wiegand

Roger Wiegand of We Beat the Street was kind enough to give me an interview about his RED ALERT email he sent out to his peers in the gold and silver profession.

Today, I interviewed Roger Wiegand directly on youtube through their upload, the first part of the interview had actually lasted 15 minutes.  But when youtube published the video there is only 8 minutes of the interview on that section.  7 minutes were wiped out.  Those 7 minutes is when Roger began discussing the real possibility and why he sent out the RED ALERT email to his peers.  I am first, very embarrassed our interview was cut off by youtube, as I obviously should not have trusted it to tape it.  I would like to send my apology to Roger, he is aware the first part of the interview did not fully publish and he said he could provide another interview about it in the near future.  Thank you, Roger for being so understanding and wonderful about the cut.  I have learned a lesson the hard way and I will not trust youtube direct upload again for any type interviews.   But he does mention his sources are very valid right before the cut off and explains a little about them.  Though the full explanation regarding his sources are the part that was cut off.  Also in the part that youtube decided not to upload is where he explained how they will be putting information together on what people could do against getting their metals confiscated and how they would be working on some real solutions, due to the potential of Gold and Silver Confiscation.

Part 1 of Interview with Roger Wiegand

Part 2 of Interview with Roger Wiegand

Tomorrow I will be interviewing David Morgan about this subject. BUT I am not using youtube and it will be an audio interview only. So stay tuned for more information and thoughts on this subject with the person (David Morgan) who passed the email on to me.

RED ALERT email between Metal Experts - about Confiscation of Gold and Silver by the U.S. Government - Potentially this year for a New World Currency - from Multiple High Inside Sources.

UPDATE 2/16/11 - Link to My interview 2/16/11 with Roger Wiegand about the RED ALERT email

UPDATE 2/17/11 - Link to My interview 2/17/11 with David Morgan regarding the RED ALERT email and Fake gold and silver issues. 

I received an email with the words "RED ALERT".  I received this from someone heavily involved and an expert in the metals and mining.  I highly respect both men involved, as they know and always tell the truth about what is happening in the world of metals.

David Morgan

David Morgan of Silver-Investor, an absolute expert in silver and the mining field and has a wonderful and very insightful news letter.  I am a member and get the newsletter due to the amount of his knowledge of silver/gold and mining.  In fact, David Morgan has given me the green light to post bits of information from his paid subscription newsletter.  I am thankful he is allowing that, as there is information in it that is not found any where else on the internet.  His newsletter gives investment information of metals and mining as no other person I have read.   I believe many benefit from the newsletter and I hope what small blurbs I reproduce here will also help others in keeping the value of their money as it is (but it is dropping fast every day - so action needs to be taken by all - in my opinion).  I will start doing some postings with his insight within days.  But I encourage anyone who wants to be on top of silver and mining and ahead of the game, subscribe to his newsletter!

Roger Wiegand

David Morgan passed on to me a "RED ALERT" email he received from Roger Wiegand.  Roger Wiegand is someone else I follow in regards to the truth and highly regard about the gold and silver markets.  I love reading his articles on Kitco and his website - WeBeatTheStreet.  I have had his website as a bookmark for years on my computer.  A site for radio interviews with Roger, besides others like Jim Willie (who I follow, also) is Korelin Economics Report.  In my opinion this is another bookmark needed for those who follow what is happening in metals closely.



Both David Morgan and Roger Wiegand are about Truth of the metals market and do not sensationalize their information.  So when I received this Red Alert email, I have confidence in this actually being very real in  potential.

Roger Wiegand sent out a RED ALERT email to other metal experts/analysis, due to information from multiple high level inside sources of his, of the potential of confiscation of gold and silver from the American Public, this year for a new world currency.  

Roger and I have exchanged a couple of emails regarding this Red Alert, with my asking permission to publish it.  He has given me the green light to release this to the public, as long as I made sure to say this is not absolute, but a potential from his high placed inside sources.

This is the email sent out - without any changes and exact!

RED ALERT

Editor: There is a plan to use the IMF (AKA US Treasury and Wall Street) to be the front man for the new world order and one currency. We also got disturbing news yesterday from an impeccable source that when gold touches $2,000 it’s confiscated in the USA for about $200. Then it’s to be reissued by the Treasury for $10,000 per ounce to back the new IMF world currency using SDRS in 2011.  Large physical gold is being moved to Canada.  http://money.cnn.com/2011/02/10/markets/dollar/index.htm

I very much thank both David Morgan and Roger Wiegand for allowing me to post this information as I believe it will help all who read it to become aware of what is being discussed as a potential of future events.

The article in the email links to the IMF calling for a new trading currency in place of the U.S. dollar.  The writing is on the wall.  I just have to ask, has everyone been paying attention?  Also when an email like this goes out from a very well respected metals expert to other experts in the field, everyone should sit up and pay attention!


UPDATE - 2/15/11 - David Morgan will be interviewed on the Radio today 2/15/11starting at 2pm est - Turning Hard times into Good Times with Jay Taylor.  I do not know if he will be discussing this email on it.  The Headline for the show is "Gold or Silver, when the Dollar crashes".  UPDATE 2pm EST ***David Morgan's interview is just about to start***

Hungary is Following Argentina - Taking ALL PRIVATE IRA and Pension accounts to be Under Government Control! Don't think it will happen in the U.S.? The U.S. Govt. Has Already Discussed Taking Private IRAs/401Ks/Pension Plans and Putting them Under Government Control! It just hasn't happened Yet!

Hungary is Taking all of their Citizens Private Retirement and Pension Accounts to be used for the Government Debt.  They have had failed bond sales.  They are following what Argentina did in 2001, in taking their citizens private accounts.  Don't think it will happen in the U.S.?  Considering Congress has already had meetings on it,  the Fed is printing the money to buy the bonds..... IMO, it is just a matter of time.  But don't worry, it will be spun on all MSM that it will be a "Good thing" for the American People, because it will be a government guaranteed account.  (of course the U.S. government is good for it and handles money really well..... right?)

Hungary took the steps today without warning and announced they are taking all of their citizens IRA/Retirement/Pension accounts.  If the people do not opt into the government taking their account in full, then those people will LOSE 70% of the their Pension to the government of Hungary anyway!

Portion:

Hungary is giving its citizens an ultimatum: move your private-pension fund assets to the state or lose your state pension. 

Economy Minister Gyorgy Matolcsy announced the policy yesterday, escalating a government drive to bring 3 trillion forint ($14.6 billion) of privately managed pension assets under state control to reduce the budget deficit and public debt. Workers who opt against returning to the state system stand to lose 70 percent of their pension claim. 

“This is effectively a nationalization of private pension funds,” David Nemeth, an economist at ING Groep NV in Budapest, said in a phone interview. “It’s the nightmare scenario.”

Hungary, the most indebted eastern member of the EU, is following the example of Argentina, which in 2001 confiscated about $3.2 billion of pension savings before the country stopped servicing its debt. The government in Buenos Aires nationalized the $24 billion industry two years ago to compensate for falling tax revenue after a 2005 debt restructuring.

Will this eventually happen in the U.S.? If it does, I doubt there will be sufficient warning for everyone to liquidate their private retirement accounts before a grab is done.  The government can't say "We, are going to be doing this in 2 weeks from now".  Because there would be a run on the accounts and banks.  Just as the meeting they had was a quiet one in September and now the link to the government site about it, is not working.  When/if they decide to do it, I would expect it to be an immediate implementation of  policy, of course "for the betterment of the people", as we will be told.  I wonder how many people will agree with the Government controlling our retirement accounts would be better than being under our own control?  

UPDATE 11/29/10 - France and Ireland are Taking their People's Pension Funds now

Awesome for Tennessee! No Gun Confiscation Under Martial Law

What wonderful news. The Democratic Governor signed into law, no guns can be confiscated under Martial Law! The police and Fed. Marshall Agents had confiscated guns after Katrina, in fact there are youtube videos showing them even battering an elderly woman because she had a gun and did not want to give it to them. She did not threaten them, she was simply standing up for her rights!

link to article: http://www.wate.com/global/story.asp?s=10413744

NASHVILLE (AP) -- A person who legally possesses a gun would not have it seized
during periods of martial rule under a proposal that has been signed into law by
the governor.
The measure was signed by Gov. Phil Bredesen on Thursday and
takes effect immediately.
Sponsors say martial rule is the same as martial
law at the federal level. They say the law is necessary after law enforcement in
New Orleans went door to door seizing weapons in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina.
Republican Sen. Jack Johnson of Brentwood, 1 of the sponsors, has
said he doesn't expect such behavior in Tennessee, but believes legislation
should be in place just in case
