Question: What has driven the Feds to such a paranoia, that they felt they must take the draconian step of raiding Liberty Dollar, the maker of a popular barter-style currency, which has been attested to be completely and entirely legal, by a plethora of legal minds, judges, even senators?

Answer #1: The dive of the U.S. Dollar directly caused the paranoia (combined with the fact, of Ron Paul's image being stamped onto a new version of the Liberty Dollar—an inflation-resistant currency backed by real precious metals)

But there is something else—or rather some-ONE else—behind the paranoid draconian actions of the Feds that took place this past week.

Question: Who is it that "decides", decrees, directs, the U. S. Prosecutor/s, who actually made the call for a specious raid on Liberty Dollar?

Answer #2: It is none other, than the very figure head of the executive branch (the prosecutorial branch), who fancies labeling himself, "the DECIDER".  It was certainly George Bush's direct decree, made in some steamy back room, that led to the offices of Liberty Dollar being raided, amusingly (though tragically), just as the Ron Paul Copper distribution was about to start.

Sound fishy?  You BET it is.  Why do you THINK the mainstream television media has been ignoring this HUGE story, for the most part???  Because this story—fully told—will NOT make George Bush and Company look good!  We need to spread the word about this fishy fishing expedition.

Sound American to you?  I don't think so, either.  UN-American actions will be a pervasive scent, forever attached to the Bush legacy—marring any of its better parts, with a prevailing stench of tyranny—the same Bush, whose last two elections I once championed, to my present chagrin!

The "decider" knows that his push for near-eternal war, has undermined the strength of our dollar, and that it is precisely the message of sound money (see also HERE), coming ONLY from Ron Paul, which will prove very attractive to all of us middle-struggle-class people, who are most harmed—and TAXED—by the diving dollar.  Bush apparently could not bear to have a stronger barter-currency floating around during this election cycle—while oil threatens to surge well over $100 a barrel—which just amplifies the Ron Paul message every single time that someone sees his image stamped onto a currency, which puts the dollar to shame.

Of course, the real answer to the problem, is addressing the real problem of massive war spending, and in returning our monetary system to a silver and gold standard, so that we can have REAL money, again.  But will Bush address the REAL problem???  Apparently not.  Instead, he has opted to do what suits him best—to once more seize our rightful "Liberties" (in a very ironic literal and figurative manner, this time).  How ironic, that he is attacking Liberty, now, both figuratively, literally and numismatically.

The problem is the diving Dollar; not the Liberty Dollar (which has been legally in circulation for nearly a decade, and was even promoted on Paul Harvey).  In fact, the Liberty Dollar's attraction would actually decrease, if our dollar were to be revalued on Ron Paul's system of "sound money".

Dollar Continues To Lose Hearts and Minds

Currency fluctuates. That’s just what it does. But after Bush abandoned the strong dollar policy, our currency has done pretty much nothing but become less valuable.

And what once was the standard, is now being shunned nearly everywhere…

The decline of the dollar, symbol of US global hegemony for the best part of a century, may have become so entrenched that some experts now fear it is irreversible.

After months of huge and sustained turmoil on the money markets, lack of confidence in the world’s totemic currency has become so widespread that an increasing number of international traders are transferring their wealth to stronger currencies such as the euro, which recently hit its highest level against the dollar.

“An American businessman over here who is given the choice would take anything but the dollar,” David Buik of Cantor Index said yesterday. “I would want to be paid in yen, and if not yen then the euro or sterling.”

And there it is. And virtually nobody’s talking about it on the campaign trail. . . .
