(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.

Bernard, Liberty Dollar has brought in a new series of Silver Coin for 2008 despite the current ongoing lawsuit against him,

January 2. 2008

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters,

Happy New Year! New 2008 Liberty Dollar for 10th Anniversary!

HOT ITEM: If you have not read “Pimp My Ride - On the road with Ron Paul’s merry band of misfits and his hooker fan club” by Tucker Carlson for “The New Republic” dated Friday, December 21, 2007 please click HERE [1] for article.

Now let me be perfectly clear. We have never presented the Liberty Dollar as “coin”, “legal tender” or “current money”. In fact, our whole marketing plan is based on the fact that it is NOT government money. We have never advocated violence, racism, revolution or even the collapse of the US dollar. We have no ill will for the US government or its dreadful money. And as we have not received a cease and desist order, why shouldn’t we continue to advocate the type of currency mandated by the US Constitution? Read more

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

Perhaps like me, you have seen the annual US car show, either in person or on the TV. Each year the best and the brightest of the auto industry get together with some off duty strippers in short skirts and preview the best Detroit has to offer.

These same designers also show us some of the coolest ‘concept cars’. They all have sleek designs and if you are at the car show in person, you have to see these models before leaving the building.

We all stare at the possible futuristic cars and wonder what the world will be like when that ‘concept car’ pulls up next to me at a stop light.

Well, the “Amero” is a concept currency. It’s not out yet, but some day it might work its way off the drawing board and into your pocket.

Today, we look up and wonder what will the world be like when the woman next to you at the supermarket pays with her new Amero Coins. (its possible stop smiling:-)

What is the Amero?

In plain language? It is a really dumb idea created by a really goofy bunch of politicians from Mexico, Canada and the United States. However, unlike many of Detroit’s concept car designers these wacky politicians might be able to successfullymove the Amero from a drawing board into the real world.

The “Amero,” is an idea much like the Euro and would replace the US Dollar to become the currency of Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

So be careful!!! There are two things American’s can’t get enough of….Britney Spears and shopping. With enough sizzle the new Amero currency might just have the ‘get-up-and-go’ for the public to buy it. Remember the “Pet Rock”? Wrap it in colored paper then call it fashionable and everyone may just want it.

Why is it a bad idea to accept PayPal in exchange for a digital gold currency like e-gold?

According to the May Scale, PayPal is ’soft’ money and the transactions are reversible. E-gold is digital gold currency and considered ‘hard’ money…all transactions are final.

Generally, a person would not want to exchange hard money for a ’soft’ money reversible method of payment.

Who has more risk, …..A person offering cash US Dollars and accepting a personal check or the person writing the check? Which money is harder?

Why are credit card cash advances considered riskier carrying a higher transaction fees and interest rate?  That might be considered a bad exchange, giving out ‘hard’ cash dollars for cream cheese ’soft’ credit card transactions.  You better check the scale below.

Why is it a bad decision to accept a personal check or credit card in exchange for e-gold?

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)

What does financial freedom mean to you?

Financial freedom means being able to control the destiny of my wealth.

Do you invest your own money in gold or silver bullion?

Well, I’m basically a pauper. There are some assets that I have been asked to manage. Whatever ready money I have access to is stored in gold or silver, except for extremely current cash to pay actual bills now due.

Why?

Simply put, I don’t trust the governments that put their full faith and credit behind paper money. I believe the history of governments is such that only a fool would ever trust them.

If I gave you one full page ad, in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post….for one full weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun editions), what would you say to those millions of readers?

If there were only one idea to convey, it would be the tremendous difficulty faced by people who have poor crypto. Look at Japan and Germany in World War Two. They had the very best mechanical cryptography systems, and they were utterly defeated by the USA and Britain, which had the very best digital crypto. Now, it happens that I’m working with a company in Houston, LightSpeed Systems, which offers encrypted root desktops and Rayservers brand encrypted root laptops. I think that secure data systems are very, very important. If you visit golightspeed.com you would get a glimpse of what we are doing. So, in terms of consumer products, that’s where I am. I really think selling gold and silver coins to the masses is going to be very easy in the next few years.

I am not a fan of credit cards. I recognize that last year was the first time since the great depression that the US population had a negative rate of savings, people actually had to dip into their savings just to get by, yet credit card debt continues to rise per US household. Open your wallet or briefcase and tell us, do you have a wallet full of plastic credit cards? Why?

I’ve been reducing. I managed to get one card company from a credit union to let me pay off the balances on two others. I plan to reduce further. But, yes, I have debit and credit cards. They are very handy for day to day transactions.

The fine team of professionals over at the the Liberty Dollar organization is soon to introduce an exciting new debit card product. This innovative card is known as the Liberty Gold Card is now heading into active beta testing. More information from Bernard von NotHaus as it becomes available.
