Ron Paul on the Liberty dollar?

[A Veteran]

What has made some people cry łconspiracy˛ (wrongly in my view) is that
Liberty Dollar has been doing this for years and only gets shut down on
the eve of their first shipment of Ron Paul collection coins. The
governmentąs very thin, very shabby pretense (followed by the obligatory
laundry list of infractions that they trot out anytime they seize
peopleąs property) probably adds to that perception. A few million in
precious metals that are minted in such a way as to clearly denote that
the coins are not currency cannot possibly łcompete˛ with or łundermine˛
the trillions of federal reserve notes out there anymore than uncle Bob
swapping a calf for a few stacks of wood would undermine the paper
currency system.

Of course its not a conspiracy, its just a plain old fashion abuse of
power that the government is famous for. This is why the Founders didnąt
put any authorization for łfederal police˛ into the Constitution. They
didnąt want the Revolutionary era equivalent of storm troopers busting
down your door and seizing your property in the arbitrary enforcement of
a legal code run amok. Weąve ignored that and this sort of thing, or
worse, is the result.
