       I'm trying to find a Web page for this newsletter, or at least a copy on the Web of this newsletter from Bernard in which the internal links work. When I do I'll include the full link here. 
        The following is a series of excerpts from the recent Liberty Dollar Newsletter emailing
        received from Bernard von Nothaus, founder and proprietor of the Liberty Dollar. [Note to whoever is responsible for these emailings, please next time include the Web address for that newsletter page.] 
           
        Here is a link to the entire piece on docstoc  but the internal links and external links do not appear to be functional (You can probably download using your Facebook account, but I didn't bother.)  
      LD4 CASE NEWS
      February 2011 Vol. 13 No. 02 
        US v. BVNH Case # 5:09-CR-00027 
       Tomorrow, March 7, 2011, an epic battle begins in Federal District Court. BVNH - one lone stubborn individual American vs. the might and fright of the US government - was charged with counterfeiting (Sec 485 and 486) after the FBI confiscated over nine TONS of gold, silver, platinum and copper over three years ago. The lines are clearly drawn between an individual's freedom, to come up with creative ways, such as barter to deal with government mismanagement of our economy and its continued nullification of our Constitution. Verdict expected within 30 days.

      1. LD4 Trial Commences 
      BVNH contends that he has invented a new monetary device that is not prohibited  by the law and that an individual can issue his own private voluntary barter  currency (PVBC). Of course the gov disagrees. Unfortunately for the gov, it has  no basis for its case. The truth is that the gov simply does not like the  politically active national NORFED organization and its patriotic mission to  "return America to a value based currency - one Liberty Dollar at a  time" and has done everything possible, including arresting its principals  to try and kill the Liberty Dollar.  
       But the gov has not stopped the Free Dollar Movement. A couple of dozen  different currencies have already sprung up from the NORFED seeds. People have  taken the issuance of money into their own hands because they are not happy  with the failing non-Federal non-Reserve IOU Note and want something better.  Something with value! While the gov assumed that the NORFED arrestees would cop  a plea like the 95% of all people arrested. NO! That did not happen. Now the  gov must prove beyond a reasonable doubt to the satisfaction of twelve jurors  in the Statesville Division of the Western District of North Carolina that BVNH  counterfeited US coins...  
      2. Everything is up!
      Metals are up. Commodities are up. Premiums are up. Sales are up. Stock market  is up. Oil is up. Jobless claims are up. Margins are up. Food Stamps are up.  Deficit is UP! And to no surprise, inflation is UP! Meanwhile, YOUR money is  tanking unless you are holding value...

      3. Freedom's Phoenix Article
      On Thursday, February 24, 2011 the Freedom's Phoenix Global Edition featured  the upcoming LD4 Trial: The Liberty Dollar 4 - Criminal Trial Starts on March 7, 2011. Written by Sierra Hancock:  
       "Ambushed, attacked and robbed in 2007, indicted in 2009, re-indicted  in 2010, by the vile despicable bastiches of the DOJ/FBI/IRS, the Liberty  Dollar 4, now the Liberty Dollar 1, will be tried criminally in federal court  in Statesville, North Carolina on March 7th, 2011. Statesville is the county  seat of Iredell County, North Carolina and is in the center of the western part  of the state." Please click HERE for the whole article.  
      4. Ron Paul Declines to Testify
      Not worthy of comment. [I'll comment, I'm outraged! Gutless Ron won't be getting this libertarian's support for dogcatcher. He just spit on his credentials. It's a sad, sad day for the cause. — bw]  
      5. Greenspan Supports Gold  Standard…
      Gold Standard Fully Supported By.... Alan Greenspan!? 
        By Tyler Durden on 01/21/2011 - 11:58  
       You read that right. After such establishment "luminaries" as  World Bank president Robert Zoellick, Warren Buffett's father  Howard, Jim Grant, and, most recently, Kansas City Fed  president Thomas Hoenig, all voiced their support for a return to a  gold standard, the most recent addition to the motley group of contrite voodoo  shamans is none other than the man who is single handedly responsible for  America's addiction to cheap toxic credit, who spawned such destroyers of the  middle class as the current Chair Creature, and who currently is the chief  advisor in John Paulson's crusade to gobble up every ounce of deliverable  physical in the world: former Fed Chairman - Alan Greenspan!  
       And a further stunner: Greenspan himself wonders if we really need a central  bank... Click HERE for the article.  
       Please note I am opposed to any "Gold Standard" operated by the  government. As noted economist Dr. Richard H. Timberlake said:  
       Gold standards were put in place by governments, and, in all but a very few  cases, they have been managed by governments. A gold standard, especially  "the" gold standard administered by a Treasury or central bank, is an  illusory solution to monetary mischief. It would be just as subject to  government tampering as any other institution managed by the state. Many  statist central bankers, in fact, embrace a "gold standard" because  it serves as a respectable cover for their traditional hands-on control. No, no  "gold standard," please.  
       I prefer the new "Organic Gold Standard" owned by the people.  Please click HERE for more info.  
      
      
      
       Closing Remarks:
        This will be the last Newsletter until after the trial. When the  trial is over you will get an announcement. Either We the People will win and I  will immediately make plans to redeem any paper or digital currency you are  holding. Or that I lost and will go to prison.... 
        I continue to believe that it is only by adopting a free and independent  currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" will we be  able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a  peaceful and prosperous society. Thank you for all your efforts to return America to value - one dollar at a  time!
