- January 8: Learning Channel & The Liberty Dollar OK, it's official! We just learned that The Learning Channel will include The Liberty Dollar in the upcoming special "Super Structures of the World: Making Money". The Special will air on January 8th at 10pm (EST/PST). Of course, we have no idea what it will say, but I do know that I was taped for the show in front of the Federal Reserve building in Washington, right there on Constitution Avenue, explaining the Liberty Dollar Solution. As they say, "All publicity is good publicity!"
- January 12: Knoxville Patriot Meeting Arnie Cohn, a personal friend and a rippin' Liberty Associate has induced me to leave sunny Miami for a much colder Knoxville, TN this January. I look forward to a warm welcome and an entertaining time, while bringing the Liberty Dollar SOLUTION to a larger group of people. So if you are in the Knoxville area, come out for the latest on the Liberty Dollar, and meet your neighbors, who feel just like you do about the Federal Reserve and the IRS. Together, we can return America to a Constitutional Republic! Without you it will take us longer. Please come and make your voice heard!! Contact Arnie at 865-494-0037 or better, email him at [email protected] for time and place on Monday, January 12th. And bring a friend. A copy of the Liberty Dollar Solution book and a Silver Liberty will be given away…so join the party and win!
- January 15 to 17 Liberty University Immediately following the Knoxville Liberty Meeting, I will be assisting with the Second Liberty University course. As mentioned earlier, if you are serious about using the Liberty Dollar or are a RCO, LibU is for you! For only $500, including motel and food, you will be treated to three days of an intense, "How To" start, run and profit from the Liberty Dollar, given by a Regional Currency Officer, Wayne Hicks (LibU founder), plus Jason Pratt and I will be in attendance. Just be aware if you are planning to attend, you will need to arrive by the evening of Wednesday, January 14 because LibU starts at 9:00 AM the morning of the 15th. Please contact Wayne Hicks ([email protected]) ASAP if you're planning to attend, so he can reserve a room for you.
- January 22 to 24 CPAC in Washington On January 22, we'll be in Washington DC for the 31st Annual CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference). CPAC is one of the largest events, which is limited to 4,500 people, and should be an important event for the Liberty Dollar. Locked and loaded with the new book and all the 5th Anniversary commemoratives plus the usual "lockbox" of gold and silver, you know we will be looking to make money, do good and have fun with those conservative types. If you are in the District of Criminals area or know someone who is, urge them to come by our booth - it is sure to be one of the loudest ones there, trust me, if you have never seen us at a show - we look great! The 31st annual CPAC Conference, hosted by American Conservative Union Foundation, will be held Thursday, January 22- Saturday, January 24, 2004 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA. As Chairman David Keene announced, "The Annual CPAC will be a blockbuster. ACU Foundation, Human Events and Young America's Foundation, in conjunction with more than 70 co-sponsoring organizations, will put together a schedule featuring the best speakers on various issues of importance to the conservative movement."
- January 22 to 24 WTP Congress in Washington Will wonders never cease? We The People Congress is happening in Washington, D.C. at the same time as CPAC! Bob Schulz has invited me to speak at the We The People Congress, just up the road from CPAC at the Crystal City Marriott at Reagan National Airport (1999 Jefferson Davis Highway in Arlington). I will speak as part of the "Constitution vs. The Federal Reserve" panel, and although the other participants have not been confirmed, it looks like many of my friends and supporters of the Liberty Dollar will be included and G. Edward Griffin will be the panel's moderator. So now you have double the reason to come to the District of Criminals and help change it back to the righteous District of Columbia. For additional info please visit www.givemeliberty.org. I hope to see you at both events!
- Report on RCOs As time runs out on the $500 Special on becoming a Regional Currency Office on December 31, I am very pleased to report that many of the active Liberty Associates have risen to the challenge and accepted the RCO Business Plan as their way to 'make more money' while returning America to value - one dollar at a time. As we finish out 2003, we have three-dozen RCOs approved or pending, about the same number of Redemption Centers we had at the end of 1998 when we launched the Liberty Dollar! Simply amazing! Now, given that we had no idea of how to market the new currency, which was not even branded "Liberty Dollar" at that time and we have grown to thousands of Liberty Associates and 100,000 people using the currency, I wonder what the future holds for the little currency which could. Isn't it exciting to think that we really could bring about the repeal of the Federal Reserve? Don't you want to be a part of the largest peacetime movement, and get paid too!? In any case, if you are still on the fence, GET OFF IT! Be part of the SOLUTION instead of part of the problem! And seriously consider becoming an Associate or an RCO. I had hoped to include a map of all the RCO regions in this Newsletter, but between the lag time in debugging the custom software for mapping the regions and my unrelenting schedule, I must report that it will not be published here, but in a future edition, ASAP.
- Legal Tender NOT! There is so much misunderstanding about "legal tender" I even devoted a chapter to this issue in the book, "The Liberty Dollar SOLUTION to the Federal Reserve". It is simply amazing that some of the most popular faux leaders mouth the same old wrong info that "legal tender" forces people to use the government money. Nothing could be further from the truth! Even the government web sites acknowledge that is not the case! Hear this - there are no police powers or compulsory powers to the legal tender laws. Yes, during the colonial days before the Constitution was signed and ratified, and during the infamous "Reign of Terror" of the France Revolution, legal tender laws were compulsory
and a capital offense, and yes, people were killed for not accepting the worthless government fiat (decree in French) currency. But that is not the case now! We can use any currency we want. That is just one reason why the Liberty Dollar is legal and has been acknowledged to be so by the US Treasury, Secret Service and even the Federal Reserve. So, please don't follow faux leaders who should know better and should support the Liberty Dollar. Strike out on your own. Go for Broke! Rekindle the American "Can do" sprite of individualism and "make money, do good, and have fun" with the Liberty Dollar! Every Liberty Dollar is a step towards limited government, lower taxes, and more personal liberties. It starts with you using the Liberty Dollar and it will end with the repeal of the Federal Reserve, the end of the IRS, and a hell of a lot less tyranny! But it will not happen with government sponsored faux leaders or you thinking somebody else will do it for you and your money. It is your money and you have to do it or lose it! The fool and his money are soon parted. Please read the complete chapter on legal tender in NORFED's new book: The Liberty Dollar SOLUTION to the Federal Reserve, still only $5.00 for Associates! These are regularly $15.00, so get a few and share them with your family and friends, then sponsor them to be Liberty Associates and make more money, do good and have fun in 2004! 8. 90th Anniversary of the FRN, IRS & ADL As 2003 passes into history, let us pause for a moment to mourn the fact that 2003 was the 90th birthday of the Federal Reserve Act, IRS Act and the founding of the Anti-Defamation League. For all the good that man can do, these are three of the most massive lies ever foisted on the American people, maybe any people! Let's hope that mankind does not have to suffer under these three terrible regimes another 90 years! There really is nothing good to say about these evil organizations. They must be stopped if we are to know true freedom and our children are to know liberty on this planet. 9. Incident of the Month An incident is pending at this time and will be added when details are available. 10. Question of the Month QUESTION: Since most world citizens can take their own local currency into the neighborhood coin shop and buy gold and silver, isn't that the same as a gold and silver backed currency? ANSWER: NO! Let me explain that exchanging FRN into metal is not the same as a metal-backed currency, because it provides no discipline upon the issuer (i.e., the government), which is free to go about its dirty business of manipulating the economic system, enslaving the people with unjust taxes, starting wars, killing people, and so forth. You name it... without the discipline of a value-backed currency, the government is free to be everything that our Founding Fathers warned us about. This is the nature of the government we have today! Its unbounded and undisciplined by sound money. Without the discipline of value, there is no standard of value and we know no value. So don't confuse the ability to buy gold and silver bullion using government currency with the concept of 'sound money', which is money that is strictly limited by the physical amount of metal the issuer has on hand. The two couldn't be more different! 11. Liberty Associate of the Month Do you like great design work? As an architect, then Mintmaster and now coming full circle as a Monetary Architect and the designer of the Liberty Dollar and most of its collateral materials, I have a keen eye for design and always appreciate fine work. So it is of very special joy for me to name a special fellow designer and supporter of the Liberty Dollar. Someone who just recently distinguished herself, and in fact she may be the first lady to be named the Liberty Associate of the Month. Who is the special person? None other than Karen Majors! Working with Michael Symonds, an earlier Liberty Associate of the Month, Karen just completed the new video, "TaXed". Taped in the Tampa area with
Joe Banister, John Turner and Sherry Jackson, the Ex IRS trio made an extremely strong case as to why no one should be paying the slave tax to the IRS. Karen, unlike so many Americans today, chose to use her natural God-given abilities to bring the truth to more people. I encourage everyone to look inside, find your strengths and abilities as Karen did and DO SOMETHING to return our country to value. Catch the excitement and become a Liberty Associate of the Month. Congratulations, and thank you Karen, for being the Associate of the Month and being such an outstanding example of what makes our country great! You can email Karen for great graphics in exchange for Liberty Dollars at [email protected]. PLUS email Karen or Michael Symonds at Golden Legacy [email protected] for a copy of the TaXed video…it cooks! 12. Quote of the Month "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." Albert Einstein I hope everyone enjoyed the Holidays. Now as we wrap up another year and launch into 2004, let us reflect back and acknowledge our success and put our hope in the future for 2004. The Liberty Dollar is now five plus years old. It is maturing, and many of the Doubting Thomases are coming around to accepting the fact that we can have a value-backed currency if we simply accept it. And if you are one who is still on the fence, then ask yourself, what will it take to convince you? Then call NORFED or your local RCO to get your questions answered. For everyone else, thank you for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency which provides us with "just weights and measures" that we will be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated and controlled monetary system, and generate a peaceful and prosperous society. From the whole staff at the NORFED Office, we wish you a Prosperous New Year with the Liberty Dollar. Thank you again for all your efforts! Bernard von NotHaus Monetary Architect/Editor
