'Spectacular Trial' Is Seen in Case of Liberty Dollar

Submitted by Matt Olive, Nov 20, 2007 01:01

Sounds like the private federal reserve banks are getting a little paranoid. Too many people getting informed about the biggest scam of last century??? Free speech and and freedom of information apparently aren't compatible with "free" enterprise (Oops, I mean the private banking monopoly). It's not just a radical right cause. Go to www.monetary.org and you'll see the radical left is on to the scam, too. However, it's more factual if you replace the adjective radical with the "common sense" right and left. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are both up to speed about this issue. They should be the running mates on the Unity 08 ticket. Although they may be on opposite sides on many cultural and social issues, they have similar views in their economic views relative to trade and monetary policy. And, as the saying goes, "You may not take an interest in politics but politics will take an interest in you." Replace the word politics with the word economics and the meaning of this saying doubles. Get informed folks. This is the one issue that cuts to the heart of the corruption in American Capitalism. Borrowing money into circulation, as we currently do, rather than spending money into circulation is either the apex of stupidity or das Boot of corruption. Decide for yourself. Don't buy the Double Speak. Thomas Jefferson chose his words correctly, when referring to the 2nd bank of the United States, he described as "those radical monied corporations". Democracy and Capitalism often aren't synonymous. As David Korton said, "Capitalism triumphed over Communism during the 80s and it triumphed over Democracy in the 90s.

P.S. An Executive Director making $5,000 a month or $60,000 a year!!!! Say it ain't so Joe!! Holy Cow! There at Liberty Dollar they must practice responsible Capitalism. How dare they!!! Beware, like the skies over Normandy, all these millionaire CEOs will be descending in their golden parachutes ready jail everyone connected with Liberty Dollar for even toying with the idea of economic justice.
