Quote from AK100:
If Vegas was offering odds on these Utah politicians being arrested for 'financial terrorism' I'd place a few bets.
Governments worldwide, at least those that have lacked proper leadership for the last 40 years, which is most western ones, are starting to turn on their people or in this case small time politicians who are not toeing the main party line.
Good point. The creator of the liberty dollar - a one ounce silver piece - was charged and convicted by the Fed's for conspiracy to counterfeit. The Federal prosecutor equated the crime to financial terrorism. How? By 'undermining the US dollar'. All Nothaus did was mint silver coins and sell them at market value + commission. There was no fraud involved. Almost no different than what most precious bullion dealers do, except he made the coin and had the word "dollar" inscribed on it. Big fucking deal. He never marketed or represented the coins as US currency. Merely a barter tool (like all precious metals). He faces 15 years in the klink.
