(Digital Money World) In response to Bernard Von Nothaus’s lawsuit filed in March, the US Government slaps back by dismissing his case based on 3 grounds,

1. Von Nothaus Has Not Stated Jurisdictional Grounds for Suing the United States and His Claims Must Be Dismissed
2. Von Nothaus Has Not Shown an Actual Controversy and His Complaint Must Be Dismissed
3. Declaratory and Injunctive Actions Which Interfere With the Criminal Process Are Not Appropriate

You can read the lengthy motion dismissal report here (thanks to DGC Magazine), and see for yourself how unfair it is when it comes to strongly believe and supporting , and not go in line with ‘the Feds guidelines’.

(Digital Money World) Woohoo! (I haven’t been having too much of these lately). As Silver price climbs, so has your Liberty Dollar if you currently do own one as Bernard continues to battle the Feds strongly with another update via email,

Liberty Dollar Set to DOUBLE+

BINGO!!! Yesterday, February 7. 2008, the 30 day moving average (30DMA) for silver closed at exactly $16.00 for the first time…. And catapulted the Liberty Dollar into the 45 day slot to Move Up to the new $50 SILVER BASE!

Buckle UP! Silver is going to the moon and we want you all to come along. This is without a doubt - the third most important event for the little currency that could… Of course the first was its birth on October 1, 1998 and second was its serendipitous Move Up to the $20 Silver Base on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2005.

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters,

Usually at this time of the month, it is the deadline for the Liberty Dollar News, our monthly newsletter that has chronicled the Liberty Dollar for over nine years.

Of course all that came to a screeching halt when the g-boys raided the Liberty Dollar just two weeks ago on Wednesday, November 14. 2007.

So now I am running from the government, afraid for my life and trying to figure out what the hell to do next! Right? Wrong! Nothing could be further from reality. Please read these quick bulleted (no pun) items for a quick review of the latest developments:

IMPORTANT: If you have not received your order and you paid for it with a bank card, please call your bank immediately, cancel the transaction, reversing the transaction and GET YOUR MONEY BACK. Don’t let the government steal your money!

1. First I am not running “from” the g-boys. It is just the opposite. I am running “to” the government. I see the current situation as an ideal opportunity to validate the Liberty Dollar. Otherwise they will have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am guilty and the Liberty Dollar is the scourge of the country. Luckily, my favorite FBI Agent “Andy” just called me yesterday… on my private cell phone. Well the cell phone is suppose to be “private” as most people don’t know the phone number. So I complimented Andy on his resourcefulness and he responded that he was the “FBI”. Now that impressed me and gave me a good secure feeling… because if the FBI could not find my cell phone number, we would really be hurting. In any case, Andy and I had a very “friendly” discussion for about 10-15 minutes. Seems that he wants to “talk” to me. I took that to mean that he wants to arrest me. So I asked about that and sure enough… a Grand Jury, indictment and arrest seems to be a given at this time. Read more

Remember, Remember The 9th of November The Gold, Silver and Debt….

Wait a minute, this is not V for Vendetta and nothing gets blown up.

This is the Liberty Dollar and Bernard driving around the country trying to enlighten people to the serious problems created by the overprinted and overburdened US Dollar.

This situation does not call for the government to raid, seize and one can only assume indict the group. What’s going on?

Last week when I first read about the Liberty Dollar being raided along with all the valuables seized, I was pretty outraged at this action taken by the government. However, I’ve now cooled down and throughly read the warrants, affidavits and press reports.

The government can go ahead and try to make that case stick in court but it seems a stretch to claim that one little man and his office staff were going to derail the entire US monetary system or were even attempting to do that!

I was pretty shocked to learn that the FBI had UCE (Under Cover Employees) working for over two years at NORFED then again at Liberty Services….. WTF is wrong with America?

Bernard had sued the US Mint many months back if they had a problem it should have been hashed out in court, as I suppose it now will be…. the only difference NOW, is that the ’soon to be defendants’ have no money or resources to fight even a speeding ticket much less the Federal Government.

God Bless the USA, but in the case of the U.S. vs the Liberty Dollar:

Unfair, unfair and I’ll say it again, unfair. Read more

This is a radio interview from RonPaulradio.com that took place on November 15 one day after the FBI and USSS raid on the Liberty Dollar National Sales office in Evansville, Indiana. Bernard was not present in Indiana at the time of the raid on the 14th. Bernard was reportedly in Florida on business.

Exclusive for RonPaulradio.com .

Jerry: Bernard, what went on today? I guess the FBI and ah Secret Service I guess has ah Secret Service has raided your operation?

Bernard: Actually yesterday morning Jerry, 12 federal agents from the FBI and Secret Service raided the Liberty Dollar national sales offices in Evansville, Indiana and took confiscated all the gold all the silver all the platinum and about ah I don’t know a ton and a half of the copper Ron Paul Dollars,

Jerry: No doubt

Bernard: All the computers and all the money.

Jerry: Ok, did they give any of the reasons why? What was the reasons why they gave you or what the criminal charges were or anything like that?

Bernard: I talked to the agent in charge from the FBI and he told me it was because the US Mint has deemed our activity to be illegal and they are responding to the DOJ.

Jerry: Ok, and what is your next step, what are you doing now?

Bernard: Well I think basically what happened here is that the government did not like our lawsuit basically Jerry, so our next step now is next step now is to start a class action law suit, for everybody who has Liberty Dollars and wants to redeem them obviously if you have silver there is no action necessary but anybody that has paper and wants to redeem them or have digital dollars and wants to redeem them should go to our website www.libertydollar.org and click on FBI Raids Liberty Dollar and sign up to be a part of our class action lawsuit so that we do not allow government to seal our money, that’s what they are trying to do, they are trying to steal the Liberty Dollar.

Jerry: Ok very good is there anything at all else you want to say to the people at Ron Paul Radio.

Bernard: That’s it, don’t let the government steal your money, stand up for value and go to our website and sign up for our class action lawsuit.

(its worth noting here that the seizure warrant issued by the United States District Court to an FBI agent was issued by the Western District of North Carolina and mentions a money laundering item and a mail fraud item. Its apparent that some activity took place in North Carolina that relates to the raid in Indiana. The signing US Magistrate Judge, The Honorable Dennis L. Howell, was located in Ashville, North Carolina and the document was signed on last Friady, November 9th)

The following is a letter from Bernard von NotHaus dated today:

I sincerely regret to inform you that about 8:00 this morning a dozen FBI and Secret Service agents raided the Liberty Dollar office in Evansville.

For approximately six hours they took all the gold, all the silver, all the platinum and almost two tons of Ron Paul Dollars that where just delivered last Friday. They also took all the files, all the computers and froze our bank accounts.

We have no money. We have no products. We have no records to even know what was ordered or what you are owed. We have nothing but the will to push forward and overcome this massive assault on our liberty and our right to have real money as defined by the US Constitution. We should not to be defrauded by the fake government money.

But to make matters worse, all the gold and silver that backs up the paper certificates and digital currency held in the vault at Sunshine Mint has also been confiscated. Even the dies for mint the Gold and Silver Libertys have been taken.

This in spite of the fact that Edmond C. Moy, the Director of the Mint, acknowledged in a letter to a US Senator that the paper certificates did not violate Section 486 and were not illegal. But the FBI and Services took all the paper currency too.

The possibility of such action was the reason the Liberty Dollar was designed so that the vast majority of the money was in specie form and in the people’s hands. Of the $20 million Liberty Dollars, only about a million is in paper or digital form.

I regret that if you are due an order. It may be some time until it will be filled… if ever… it now all depends on our actions.

Everyone who has an unfulfilled order or has digital or paper currency should band together for a class action suit and demand redemption. We cannot allow the government to steal our money! Please don’t let this happen!!! Many of you read the articles quoting the government and Federal Reserve officials that the Liberty Dollar was legal. You did nothing wrong. You are legally entitled to your property. Let us use this terrible act to band together and further our goal – to return America to a value based currency.

Please forward this important Alert… so everyone who possess or use the Liberty Dollar is aware of the situation.

Please click HERE to sign up for the class action lawsuit and get your property back!

Thanks again for your support at this darkest time as the damn government and their dollar sinks to a new low.

(Q) If you had 10 minutes of face to face discussion time with each of your customers, what is the one single idea you would try to teach each one of them about freedom?

(A) hmm, that is a really good question and one that is not easily answered. I don’t believe that ALL customers can be fit into a mold that would relate to something I could convey to them in some generic sense of things. I think freedom is something best left to each individual to determine for themselves. If I could present just one idea, then I guess it would be that.

(Q) Is there an advantage to shopping for one ounce silver bars from your web site, over visiting a local coins shop and buying from them?

(A) I think local dealers have a market that works well and is useful. Our aim is to supply silver bullion products to that market. If you have a local coin shop that also sells bullion then it would be useful to show them our products when you shop there. When a dealer places a large order they can convey the savings on shipping to their customers.

(Q) Are you operating as a Money Service Business? Do you hold any other Federal or State regulatory licenses which permit you to operate?

(A) We are not operating as a money services business as silver is not money according to the law today. Nevertheless, we do understand that the digital silver currency can be used by criminals to further criminal activity if left unchecked, so we have implemented a full anti money laundering program, a customer verification program, employee training and customer education program that serves to keep our system free from fraud. The results of this is thousands of clients and zero fraud. We also do possess a MSB license from the jurisdiction of the USA even though our company is based in Panama. We feel a good anti money laundering program and more importantly a strong anti fraud and anti crime policy is essential to our success and essential to the security of our client’s silver. Our terms of service policy explains all this in greater detail.

(Q) I know that I can buy digital Silver online from at least one other company, GoldMoney, what advantages does the Phoenix Dollar offer over James Turk’s digital product?

(A) James is a wise businessman. His product has its place in the market and is valuable even to our customers. That being said, it has absolutely no resemblance to our product offering. Our focus is on actually holding real silver in your hand where it belongs. We enable the average person, even if not rich, to hold silver in their hand even after someone sends it to you in digital form. This is something that is impossible in other systems.

(Q) Do you ship overseas?

(A) Yes, we ship all over the world to all but a few countries found on the sanctions lists.

The Phoenix Dollar was created in late 2005. The company is a silver bullion retailer offering their own brand of pure silver bars, disks and even digital silver holdings which is 100% backed by bars in a secure vault.

These accounts are free to open and the Phoenix Dollar community offers some exciting advantages and tools to those who would use the digital silver for online commerce. The digital silver is transferable between anyone operating a Phoenix Dollar Holding and there are several popular independent exchange providers who can assist you with a secondary market transaction. The digital product is exchangeable with other digital currency such as Pecunix.

Any user can easily have their silver balance (as little as one ounce) delivered right to their front door for just a few dollars over the spot price. The physical silver one ounce disks and bars are very beautiful and I happen to own several.

The bars and disks can be used as payment between any person as a method of barter. While some of these items may look like money, its important to note that The Phoenix Silver Bullion Products are NOT “legal tender” and NOT “current money” nor are they endorsed by any sovereign government, country, city or state. While the designs are great, both the silver and paper designs do not look like government issued currency. Paper designs? Yes, the company is soon offering SilverBacks® which is a series of Authentic Paper Silver Certificates. More on that below.

Today I’m interviewing Gordon Hayes designer, creator and operator of the The Phoenix Dollar.

(Q) Can you tell us your current position with the Phoenix Dollar company and how long has it been operating?

(A) I am the President. We opened to the public in October of 2005. The concept was in development for a couple years before that.

(Q) Who came up with the design for the silver bullion products? How about those new silver certificates?

(A) I have two very special artists that I collaborate with who shall remain nameless for security reasons. I create the concepts and they come up with the artwork for them. Sometimes I am able to pick a piece out of their extensive portfolio for certain things and apply them to the silver without any modifications. Having a high caliber art team has enabled us to exceed in designing silver pieces that never fail to win people over for their sheer beauty.

(Q) Out of all the successful businesses you have been involved with over the years, why did you create the Phoenix Dollar? What were your reasons for coming out with a private barter currency backed by silver?

(A) The world simply needs to know that what I am doing is possible. My ultimate goal is to create a currency that actually improves the lives of its owners. This would take a bit of explaining to get across properly, but to summarize, today we have a world that contains all sorts of fiat currencies. Not a single one of them have any real value except that which is derived from the end of a gun. I set out to build a currency that actually protects the wealth of its users, that improves how people interact and do business with one another and that creates more freedom and success in the world. This is the sort of philosophical background information that is not really necessary to know when using the currency. The results of using it speak in subtle ways.

(Q) I have seen the pictures of your new SilverBacks® paper silver certificates which are now on the way. What do these certificates offer users that the bars and disks don’t already provide?

(A) This product conflicts with my personal beliefs to some extent, but its main benefits are that you can carry it in your pocket in quantity without being weighted down so much that you cannot walk. Silver bullion is very heavy and cannot easily be transported in quantity. The SilverBacks® address that problem thus enabling the currency to gain more use in the everyday over the counter market. I expect this product line to be a curiosity in the market for some time, but I am doing it anyway, just in case things rapidly change.

(Q) Your bullion products look fantastic.

(A) Thank you.
