the Liberty Dollar could become extinct in a short period of time ...

Liberty Dollar Faces Extinction

" The Liberty Dollar is now under attack from�our bank. On Monday, November 20, the Evansville office received a certified letter from our bank, Old National Bank, which said: "Please be advised that if you do not close the Account within 15 days of the date of this letter (11.16.06), Old National Bank will exercise its right to close the Account."

Had we bounced checks? Nope, not a one. Were we a difficult customer? Definitely not. Had we done anything to warrant the bank to close our account? No, but obviously something upset the banking powers to be. The VP for Bank Security, who ordered the letter, told us that they had investigated our business and said that the "nature of our business" was too risky for them. Of course the bank's action is clearly the result of someone calling the bank and telling them to close our account. Probably the same person who told the US Mint to issue their warning. The same person who told CBS Lies (not worthy of "News") to do their dirty work. The same person who urged the Washington Post to write their propaganda to kill the Liberty Dollar idea. The same morally corrupt person who might even be reading this Newsletter.

The Liberty Dollar is clearly under siege. Quite simply, without a bank account and merchant card services, it is all but impossible to do business in this day and age. We face the real possibility that the Liberty Dollar could die... and put all the ideals it stands for at risk! A very sobering thought I dare say.

Does this alarm you? I hope! It should alarm you that the government can single out a business without any past criminal history, indictment, or even criminal intent and instruct its bank to close its account! As you can note in Article #3 below, the US Mint does acknowledge that the gold and silver paper certificates are 100% legal. So if one form of the Liberty Dollar currency is legal, what's wrong with the gold and silver that backs it up? I hope this latest bank development signals you that we need to find a much broader base of support for the Liberty Dollar. It should alarm you enough to take action. I am urging you to contact your newspaper, the organizations you respect, publications you subscribe to, and any public forums to investigate and report on the Liberty Dollar. We need to develop more awareness about the Liberty Dollar, and we need to do it very quickly. Up to this point the silence from our side regarding the government's attack on the Liberty Dollar has been deafening. That needs to be corrected. "

in language of the past ...

Yesterday's entry brought a "hit and run" comment by "anonymous" ...

Wants stock tips, which I would not give even if I was licensed to do so.


Asked me to "Name one country that hasn't been saddled with a "boom and bust" economy in the last 1000 or so years."

Fair question, assuming "boom and bust" is a natural element of economies.

I think it fair to say that any economy will eventually "bust" ... but I think it also fair to say that any well-planned economy might "boom" for a long period ...

Certainly much longer than the cycles we have lived through in the U.S. during the Twentieth Century.


In saying "America was saddled with "boom and bust" cycles we have all lived through in recent decades" I was of course referring to the manipulation of our economy which has resulted from imposition of the Federal Reserve System - which has nothing to do with federal government.

The Great Depression did not have to be as severe as it was, and could have largely been prevented if it had not been for political motivations.

The United States has had ample opportunity to avoid the coming crash also, but until either the U.S. government regains control of its money supply, or a new government replaces the current one, we will continue to have the sort of "boom and bust" cycles which are unlike anything in previous world history.


Reality is that we can each work to create an alternate economy, or more than one, to help offset the uncontrollable cycles of the larger economy we are subject to.

That is what I intend to explore here - doomsday or no doomsday.

There will be survivors, anonymous, and there is no time like the present to decide how you will live in the future.

I have no difficulty envisioning the future - I just find it awkward to describe future except in language of the past ...

where do we go from here ... ?

.
I am chided for my absence from these pages, for which I offer simple apology.

My time lately has been spent more toward learning than talking.

One of the biggest challenges for me right now is presenting good news ...


My work currently involves the application of my brain to social and long-term challenges, whereas in the past my work has been more application of muscle to immediate, short-term problems, such as putting food on the family table.

For most who will read this, I suppose the latter consumes your energies.

I applaud your efforts and pray wholeheartedly for your success.

My desire is to support that success any way I can.


Wherever you are located, you are now part of a global economy.

Daily you are offered statistics supporting a position that everything is fine
- is it ?

Most of us do not have the time, patience, or sometimes even the talent, to dispute "everything is fine" reports - most often such reports tell us what we want to hear, and we continue our workday ... not completely reassured.

Knowing the true situation is a burden which personally makes me want to scream warnings.

Such information is not easily communicated because it is simply more than the average working person can deal with.

Warnings cause panic, panic leads to charges of irresponsible behaviour, credibility is lost, the bearer of warnings is ignored.


Just an hour ago I was shown a short video - a composite from two cameras set to watch a railroad crossing.

A semi truck in slow traffic crossing the tracks came to a full stop as the crossing gate closed behind the trailer, which was still on the tracks - its rear wheels on the other side of the tracks from the cab.

An Amtrak train, whistle blowing, unable to stop or even slow enough to avoid collision, obliterated the truck's trailer, leaving the driver uninjured in the cab disconnected from the burning wreckage.

The truck driver later said she never heard or saw the train coming.


I can see and hear the train and I want to scream out to you, the driver, to get out of the way, but even if you heard me, you could only save yourself - too late to save your "truck" ... and it would be unfair to fault you for the immediate concerns with which your mind was occupied while the train was approaching.

Most of us are unaware of the enourmity of the economic trainwreck that is waiting to happen to us - something which most nations dependent on dominance of the American dollar are working hard to delay, because there is no one in the world that will not be affected in some way.

Most of us are right now unaware that certain governments we are led to believe are our enemies, who could easily hasten U.S. economic collapse, are in fact working to delay that collapse.

Notice I said delay, because decrease in value of the dollar cannot be prevented - its current level is artificial while U.S. money supply reporting has been suspended since March, 2006, to hide the true level of decline.

The best anyone can hope for right now is that the dollar's decline will be gradual so that everyone can adjust without panic anywhere.


Economies have been manipulated since long before America was saddled with "boom and bust" cycles we have all lived through in recent decades, but our U.S. economy seems particularly poorly managed by people whose arrogance seems only to grow and conditions worsen; witness increase of reckless spending as national debt grows beyond what can ever be repaid.


My dilemma is in knowing there are things we can do
- at least to ease the pain, even if there are no broad solutions ...

... just one voice looking for a community to bridge the economic divide.

Interested ?

we make our own reality ...

August 25 I checked the settings for this blog, which had been blocking comments.
- http://adafad.blogspot.com/2006/08/comments-open-to-all.html

Comments, feedback, discussion, and other interaction, are what this blog is about, and there seems precious little of any.

Having said that, another "anonymous" has just deposited an advertisement as a comment to that post.

Such activity is antithetical to what we are about, yet I am thinking to leave that ad, and a previous "comment" (also an ad) in place, as examples of what not to do - if that even makes any sense ?

"We make our own reality" is a truism, the same for "anonymous" as for you and for me.

I vowed ages ago never to buy anything from anyone who spams me.

There is a difference between posting an ad as a "comment" to a blog entry and outright spamming, but such a distinction is not great enough that I would waste my time arguing it.

If you want to sell me something, let me get to know you first.
