A Day In The Life Of A “Homegrown Terrorist”

There was a time when having one’s name listed in the despised ranks
of those villains that governments often categorize as “terrorists”
involved quite a bit of leg work, as well as an ominous running resume
of death, destruction, and general mean spiritedness. Of course, if one
examines the history of every modern country which eventually
disintegrated into despotism, the definition of who the “enemy” is tends
to become rather broad rather quickly. That is to say, the more
criminal the leadership of a country becomes, the easier it is for the
average person to find himself labeled a criminal by that same
leadership.

Today, one does not need to blow up buildings, take hostages in
political motivation, send anthrax through the mail, or even wave a gun
around in a public place to be considered a terrorist threat. In fact, a
man could never leave his house and still find himself under suspicion
as an enemy of the state. The Department of Homeland Security has
released numerous standardized guidelines to law enforcement offices
across the country which are meant to make it “easier” for police and
others to identify a possible terrorist. If you were to take at face
value such documents as the now famous MIAC Report, the Virginia Fusion
Center Report, the DHS’ “see something, say something” campaign, the
Enemy Belligerents Act, the post trial statements of the Department Of
Justice in the Liberty Dollar case, or the wild spewing rhetoric of
establishment mouthpiece organizations like the SPLC, then you would
discover that a likely terrorist is:

Anyone who talks frequently about the Constitution, or ill of the government
Anyone who supports the idea of a Constitutional Militia
Anyone who fights against anti-gun legislation, or owns many guns (man do we LOVE guns)
Anyone who supports state sovereignty and 10th Amendment issues
Anyone who supports Ron Paul (the ultimate sin according to the SPLC)
Anyone who believes the private Federal Reserve is destroying our economy
Anyone who talks about the “New World Order”, or global government (does
this include men like George Soros, Joseph Biden, Gordon Brown, Henry
Kissinger, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Strobe Talbot, George McGovern,
Mikhail Gorbachev, Richard Nixon, etc.?)
Anyone who discusses economic collapse as a reality in the U.S.
Anyone who speaks out against the IRS
Anyone who participates in “Hacktivism” (including those who leak documents embarrassing to government)
Anyone who participates in any form of activist group
Anyone who argues that the Left/Right political paradigm is a scam
Anyone who promotes Anarchist views
Anyone who distrusts FEMA (as if Katrina did not give us ample reasons)
Anyone who believes a truly independent investigation of 9/11 is rational and called for
Anyone who home schools their children
Anyone who flies a Gadsden Flag
Anyone who stores survival goods and food
Anyone who uses shortwave radios or HAMs
Anyone who watches movies like ‘Freedom to Fascism’, with anti-Fed messages
Anyone who operates private barter and trade networks
Anyone who stores gold and silver or uses them as an alternative to the dollar

Basically, ANYONE who dissents through independent political
organization or protests through non-participation in the corrupt system
might as well be Al Qaeda…

I could go on for pages with this stuff, but I think you get the
picture. In a world where refusing a naked body scan at the airport
earns you intimidation and a demeaningly thorough pat down, it is clear
that now wherever we go we are all considered “suspects”. Why would I
turn down a naked body scan, one might ask? Well obviously because I
have something to hide; namely my genitalia from the prying eyes of the
TSA. To be frank, my privacy and the privacy of all Americans is more
important than your safety. Get over it.

America is moving closer to financial derailment, and with that kind
of destabilization often follows the escalation of what we call the
“police state”; a governmental framework that is designed specifically
to protect the longevity of the core system that created the disaster in
the first place, remove civil liberties one bite at a time while
demonizing any person who dares to question the necessity of the system,
and institute new social dynamics meant to acclimate the public to the
loss of the freedom and prosperity they once enjoyed. That is, to
condition them to accept the loss as “inevitable” and for the “greater
good”.

Most unsettling but absolutely predictable has been the recent
tapping of the SPLC and ever present establishment front man Mark Potok
as the on camera media hit squad against organizations like Liberty
Dollar, and anyone else attempting to promote alternative methods of
currency and commerce outside of the corporately controlled economy.
U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins’ post trial statement in the case against
von NotHaus that “Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this
country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism” was just the
beginning. Potok has now come forward stating:

“He (von NotHaus) is playing on a core idea of the
radical right, that evil bankers in the Federal Reserve are ripping you
off by controlling the money supply,” said Mark Potok, spokesman for the
group. “He very much exists in the world of the anti-government patriot
movement, whatever he may say. That’s who his customers are.”

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_liberty_dollars_raid

Here’s what I love about Mark Potok; his ability to vomit unsupported
accusations and make absurdly false associations all while making the
absolute truth sound “insane” to the useful idiots out there in TV land.
First off, how does Potok define the “radical right”? It sounds
scary, but what does it mean? Who gets to decide what the radical right
is? The SPLC? Is a right wing radical or extremist anyone who just
happens to disagree with Mark Potok’s world view, or the global elitist
vision of the future? Potok routinely haunts the transmissions of MSM
networks to squat on our television screens and unleash a putrid torrent
of Ad hominem attacks without ever having to actually qualify what he
says. It truly is awe inspiring.

His style of propaganda comes from a long tradition of Alinsky-esque
dishonesty in debate. When the SPLC argues a point, their goal is not
to get to the truth of a matter, or to explore the complexity of an
issue, it is to oversimplify the issues, to ridicule the opposition and
taint their image in the minds of audiences before the audience ever
gets a chance to hear the other side of the story. How often does Potok
utter phrases like “radical”, “extremist”, “terrorist”, “white
supremacist”, or hot button names like “Timothy McVeigh” while
discussing legitimate activist groups like the Ron Paul campaign, Oath
Keepers, the Tea Party Movement, anti-Federal Reserve groups, etc? The
purpose behind this is to condition average Americans to automatically
interpret the terminology as being mutually related. To hear Oath
Keeper, for instance, and think “Timothy McVeigh”.

This tactic of false association invariably leads to more generalized
definitions of criminality, or terrorism, and then to more intrusive
legal actions and legislation.

The Liberty Dollar case is now being used by the DOJ in an effort to
set a precedent, which would make it easier for the government to
prosecute any barter network utilizing gold and silver as competing
currencies to the dollar. The message is clear; you are not allowed to
change the system. You are not allowed to buck the system or criticize
the system. You are not even allowed to walk away from the system. You
will sit down, you will shut up, and you WILL participate, whether you
like it or not.

This philosophy is typical of autocratic nations around the globe.
The citizenry is denied the ability to actively have a say in their own
government because the parties involved refuse to represent them, or
even stoop to abusing them, then, they are denied the option to protest
this lack of representation, and then, they are also denied the choice
of opting out and walking away. A slightly more extreme example of this
would be the Chinese propensity for hating the Tibetan people and
wishing they would disappear, while also shooting Tibetan natives who
take the hint and attempt to leave the country by hiking over the
border. Thus, the people are not just an enemy to be silenced or run
off, they are also property which must be fenced in and subjugated.

Potok condescendingly attacks the idea of the Federal Reserve ripping
people off and controlling the money supply as “radical” (both
accusations are true and have been well documented Ad Nauseum by
numerous financial analysts from both sides of the political spectrum. I
challenge Potok to debate me or any other alternative economist on this
in depth). But the real kick is that Anne Tompkins and Mark Potok both
connect the movement towards any barter and trade away from the Federal
Reserve controlled construct as being an extremist endeavor which will
supposedly wreak havoc on the mainstream economy. This casts millions
of Americans into the role of domestic terrorist without them ever
lifting a finger in anger or violence. Again, you are not allowed to
have your own economy, or your own money. You have to play by the
rules, their rules, and become a part of the team.

Being that I apparently seem to fit many of the DHS/SPLC selected
characteristics of a homegrown terrorist, and most of the people I know,
work with, and are friends with, do as well, I feel it is incumbent
upon me to give you a personal peak into the everyday existence of such a
“dangerous affront” to civilized society. For all you terrorism
voyeurs out there, let’s delve into the deep dark recesses of the life
and psyche of the average establishment nominated homegrown extremist…

7:00 AM: I wake up this morning and every morning
with thoughts on how I may better expose the Federal Reserve and the
fetid, morally bankrupt corporate bankers who constructed it. Drink
orange juice. Change out of my Gadsden Flag pajamas and jump into the
shower. Sing the lyrics to Jimi Hendrix’s ‘All Along The Watchtower’.
Rinse. Repeat.

8:00 AM: I jot down my immediate thoughts for the
next terroristic macroeconomic analysis article I plan to complete later
in the day with my long horrifying trigger happy terrorist fingers on
my terrorist built supercomputer. I also eat a blueberry muffin,
probably heated to sumptuous perfection by bakers of the terrorist
persuasion. As you know, we are everywhere. Booga booga…

9:00 AM: Go out for my five mile jog. Have to stay
in tip top condition if Homeland Security plans to hunt me down for all
those goods and silver I’ve been trading on the evil right wing
extremist ultra maxi secret black market. Flea markets, farmers
markets, garage sales, private exchanges of eggs and milk, all under the
nose of the IRS! You name it, I sully the “pristine” nature of the
Federal Reserve system with it.

10:00 AM: Arrive at my day job where I talk to
fellow employees and even employers CONSTANTLY about the stagflationary
threats to the U.S. economy, the inherent tyranny of the central banking
philosophy, the complete idiocy of the Keynesian methodology, the risk
of Treasury depreciation and the loss of the greenback’s world reserve
currency status, along with the need for sound money initiatives,
localized commerce, state sovereignty legislation, and personal defense.
Somehow, they have not yet realized that I am a terrorist. Mark Potok
needs to get his message out there more effectively…

6:00 PM: Arrive home from a hard day’s work. Make
dinner devoid of artificial sweeteners, chemical preservatives, and high
fructose corn syrup. For some reason, I care about my overall health
and shudder at the prospect of feeding from the corporately produced
slop trough, which only seems to slowly morph any unsuspecting human
being into a 300 pound boil infested bottom feeding kankle troll with
the logical and intuitive capacity of a sea monkey. Watch rerun of
Three’s Company (Hey, that show is funny…)

7:00 PM: Sink into couch for some much needed rest.

7:15 PM: Get up off of couch and start my second job as a terrorist writer. We are indeed relentless.

11:00 PM: After spreading my vicious propaganda
about how the leaderships of both major political parties support nearly
the same exact legislation and only seem to disagree in rhetoric, or
when the particular issue is ultimately unimportant to the progression
of globalization, as well as the inevitable downfall of the American
financial system facilitated by the deliberate creation of the
derivatives crisis by the Federal Reserve and global banks like JP
Morgan, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, etc, I then have a shot of whiskey.
Sometimes its depressing being a terrorist, and you have to take the
edge off.

12:00 AM: I now answer many emails from other would
be terrorists across the country who have been wiled by the undeniably
rich and sexy allure of the lifestyle. Being labeled a terrorist is
truly fun and exciting. Being constantly aware of the Godzilla-like
rampage of international banks and the Fed across the ruins of our
monetary system while half of the public is more concerned about what
kind of Gordita they want from Taco Bell is immensely comforting. All
the extra attention we receive from such highly placed individuals as
Janet Napolitano makes us feel like celebrities. I imagine any group in
history who has been singled out by government for their political and
social views or their desire to fix the obvious inadequacies of their
authority structure has felt the same way……fabulous.

1:00 AM: Time to sleep. Warm milk? Check. Air
conditioning at optimum temperature? Check. Bed spread neatly folded
for easy access? Check. Low playing mood music? Check. Loaded
semi-automatic pistol under pillow? Check. (This is actually true in
some cases, and you know what? I salute those people.) Commence
operation Sheep Count. Try to supplant the concerns and the tensions of
a world tomorrow that could be drastically different and even more
frightening than the one we live in today. Worry that I should be
sleeping less and working more to prepare others for what is coming.
Hoping that my belief in the greater potential of mankind is not a
waste, and that my efforts will yield something better for those
generations that follow my own. Yes, I am an extremist, and a deviant.
I will never stop pursuing the tidings of liberty, regardless of the
cost. I am a madman. However, this makes me wonder, what does it mean
to be deemed a madman in a society run by madmen? What does it mean to
be judged a deviant in a nation dominated by deviants? Why is it that a
so called “terrorist” in an atmosphere of dread and tyranny always
seems to end up being but a man who only seeks to be free?

Here, on the other hand, is a day in the life of a model citizen, courtesy of Rasputin over on WallStreetBear.com (another terrorist site):

'Here is the average sheeple "plan":

1. When the morning alarm clock rings, stumble out of bed, throw on a wrinkled sheeple-suit, then drive the SUV to McDonalds. Order the "McGrissle Breakfast Sandwich" and a forty-ounce cup of Joe. Wash down the daily dose of Prozac with the Joe.

2. Trudge to the useless, meaningless, mid-level manager job. Shuffle papers for eight hours, while frequently checking SportsIllustrated.com

3. At lunch, head back to McDonalds, order the SuperSized, five-thousand-calorie McBurger, fries and McSugar drink (or a "diet" version of McDrink if it is January 2nd). Complain about how hard you work to your other, over-stuffed, under-performing peers.

4. At EXACTLY 5:00:01 pm, waddle toward the exit of the office.

5. Drive the SUV home, order in the Pizza Hut "Meat Munchers Special". Top it off with a six-pack of beer.

6. Watch "American Idol".

7. Fall asleep on the couch. At midnight, wake up, head for bed.

8. The next morning, repeat steps one-through-seven above. (until the weekend, then omit steps two and four above, and substitute a movie for "American Idol" in step six).

(Ras Conclusion): As much as Rasputin wants desperately to re-join the sheeple race, he harbors NO illusion that the shearing and slaughter they are taking from TPTB are understood (or even noticed) by the Great Unwashed. They simply want to make it through another day and not have to think.'

That's one positive and destabilizing thing with unemployment and/or studies. While working few people has either the time or the motive to study the real nature of this monetary paradigm. But with even more mass unemployment coming there is always a couple of people in each group of 100 who will start to read up. I would propbably not have found ZH if I was not laid off in october -08. At least the issue would never have the same urgency for me as it has now.  For all the prols that are terminated from jobs, a few will start to dig into the reasons why their lifes suddenly are upside down, and start accumulating PM:s. I know I did.

Life of an unemployed who prepared for this shit-storm:

1. Wake up, check zerohedge while watching the cheerleading on CNBC

2. After an hour of watching the cum-guzzling cheerleaders, which amps me up, head to the gym.

3. Blaze, make margaritas, hit the beach for a couple hours.

4. Nap, catch the close of the DJIA for one more good laugh.

5. Dinner with the woman.....she falls asleep early.....hit some Patron along with the bowl.

6. Pass out.

This terrorist checklist is kinda like the "alcoholic checklist" I took one time:

1) Have you ever drank before noon

2) Have you ever took off work because you were hungover

3) Does anyone in your family tell you that you're drinking to much

4) Have you ever drank and done something you regretted

5) Do you ever think about drinking when you are not drinking

6) Have you ever tried to restrict your drinking - only after meals, only on weekends, never before 5PM, etc.

7) Have you ever stopped at the store at 3AM because they stop sales after 4AM.

8) Have you ever went to a certain bar because the cab ride was shorter and cheaper.

9) Does your bartender know you and always give you a generous pour?

10) Have you ever walked into a bar already with liqour on your person?

Oh shit! - I'M A TERRORIST LOL

 

As for the direction of the gold and silver markets in the short term I have to ask myself this question:

1) Would the govt prefer $2000 gold and $90 silver and Dow 18000 or would they prefer $1125 gold $26 silver and Dow 6,666?

And there's your ANSWER!  Maybe not in 1H 2011, but certainly by end of year.   Hyperinflation works WONDERS!   (Although mind you, it won't be called hyperI, it will be called "stagflation" like in the 70s ROFL!)

I would have to say that the majority of the people I interact with on a daily basis know I am nuts.

I will get a "you are crazy" at least 3 times a week.

I have engaged the owners of the company about dangers of the fractional reserve banking system, the inevitable failure of any exponential system in a finite world, and why currently our margins are being compressed.

When I hear the "you are crazy" line, I look people right in the eyes and tell them it is better not to know.

The one statement that I don't hear is "You are wrong".  Well, on the topic presented in this article anyways.

I have woken up many to the dangers that we face and that we can change.  Sweeteners, fluoride, fiat.  Even the failure of patent medicine (my field).

It really does suck to know that you are on a wheel, and that most everything before you is a mirage.  Your labor first generates power for them, and you are left to keep what they think you should.  Slavery, pure and simple. I argued this with a black guy at work.  The cognitive dissonance in him was too much.  He could not accept it.  When someone else has first dibs on your labor, you are not free.  To solve a problem you first have to identify the problem.  And calling a spade a spade is what is needed.  

Reminds me of this joke/story:

George Bernard Shaw once found himself at a dinner party, seated beside an attractive woman. "Madam," he asked, "would you go to bed with me for a thousand pounds?" The woman blushed and rather indignantly shook her head.

"For ten thousand pounds?" he asked. "No. I would not." "Then how about fifty thousand pounds?" he contined.

The colossal sum gave the woman pause, and after further reflection, she coyly replied: "Perhaps." "And if I were to offer you five pounds?" Shaw asked.

 

 

"Mr. Shaw!" the woman exclaimed. "What do you take me for!" "We have already established what you are," Shaw calmly replied. "Now we are merely haggling over the price."

. . all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily (and) adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."                --   H.L.

I guess I am a moderate terrorist since I could agree with most of those.  Some of those points do get a little fringy.  I also have a huge gun collection, and I like to study how to make things go boom as a hobby.  I don't have any plans to use my knowledge of how things go boom.  It will be interesting the next time I board a plan since I purposefully used my credit card and bought every single boom book from palladin press and amazon.com.

I will let you know if they prevent me from flying.  If they do then it is clear they are checking online purchases and scanning blogs even for average joes like me buying perfectly legal products with my credit cards, and saying perfectly legal things like "SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN!"

Have you noticed that the ZH sidebar info changed a few months back concident with Marla joining the disappeared

 

registering and posting almost totally gives any who are interested a profile and location

The above might sound conspiratorial but then so does the article.  When you think about it the kind of traffic TD created would have generated an easy couple of mil by some gov sponsored VC and perhaps in a moment of weakness he and Marla took the  money and ran leaving us poor souls to the dogs

ZH = mostly libertarian racists and bigots who claim to want to discuss macroeconomics and geopolitics but instead have little to offer beyond the above. Also - I miss Marla, too.

The irony - that the so called 'open thread' causes the individuals that point out this hypocrisy out get junked to the point of censorship, while the racism and doom talk continues approved and unopposed.

Marla's departure and the state of ZH are correlated.

"Today, one does not need to blow up buildings, take hostages in political motivation, send anthrax through the mail, or even wave a gun around in a public place to be considered a terrorist threat"

pull your fucking heads out of your ass, people....these were stunts by the cia...the beltway murderer was a cia mk-ultra subject....that is why the government went ballistic when that citizen cornered him at the time of his apprehension....

I think Paladin still publishes them.

Then of course there are the Army manual's...anyone with a basic knowledge of chemistry could put this stuff together...

>>> But I don't recommend it, very dangerous shit in there <<<

These chemicals will blow up in your face if you are careless in processing/mixing/scraping/friction/adding one to another...hell I remember as a kid you could just go down to the drugstore and buy saltpeter off the shelf.

My initial comment was more directed toward Janet Nepolitano and her ridiculous, stupid ass statement (soon after her being appointed) that returning soldiers should be viewed with suspicion as potential "domestic terrorists"...which is to say...I think roughly 6-9% of the population are active military...now through the magic of her paranoid compounding we would have to include all veterans from previous wars which begins to run the percentage up quite dramatically...now, with the benefit of hindsight, we can see that very few (Timothy McViegh notwithstanding) have been deranged enough to commit terrorism against their fellow countrymen.

Point being...every bureaucracy put in place must have a budget...hers is DHS...basically she's talking her book at the expense of every unknowing citizens peace of mind and wallet.

Again...to all my fellow ZH'ers out there, my advice is to not screw around with these chemicals...they can kill, burn, poison or maim you for life.

USA budget:

30% killing people or developing new ways to kill people

30% an army of bureaucrats to maintain the  authoritarian Nanny State - with a large contingent of 95 IQ despots to tax and regulate every aspect of your life, from how much water your toliet can use to flush the turds down to how much toxic flouride should be added to the drinking water your family drinks, if you choose to do so.

20% feeding and housing all the poor people and paying them unemployment because the govt killed all the jobs...  Or jailing them for taking any substance besides alcohol they perceive as something they enjoy, right or wrong

15% bailing out bankers and supporting all our "allies"

The rest - everything else, roads, infrastructure, education, parks and wildlife, etc.

And don't forget - half of everything is deficit spending.   Which doesn't matter because most Americans think John Maynard Keynes is the singer for Tool.

The bloodiest clashes occurred in the restive city of Daraa, where human rights activists and witnesses said Syrian security forces opened fire on tens of thousands of protesters, killing 25 people and wounding hundreds.

At the same time, state-run TV said 19 policemen and members of the security forces were killed when gunmen opened fire on them. It was the first significant claim of casualties by the Syrian government, which has contended that armed gangs rather than true reform-seekers are behind the unrest — and it could signal plans for a stepped-up retaliation.

No, you have the right one. The SPLC routinely tries to associate Ron Paul types with White supremacist movements. They are essentially an organization that works to discredit any sort of tea party group, Oath Keeper group, or any other group that does not adhere to the rules set out by corporate America as Evil and Dangerous. Often, if there are a majority of white people in this group, they are also now labeled a White Supremacist group.

This is a tactic aimed to discredit them in the eyes of most Americans. Unfortunately, it often works.

POTUS is on the telemprompter celebrating the collusion of Republicrats and Demicans to keep the monster alive.

"The Washington Monument will be open tomorrow..."

Blah, blah, blah.

Great article Tyler.

When freedom is terrorism, liberty is precious and in short supply.

The resurrection of taxation without representation and the emergence of central banking neo-feudalism underscores the 'red' in redux.

It's a repetitive bankster scam that goes back to at least George III.

1776 is not over but the battle lines have been finally and undeniably drawn.

It's not that, The Banksters are coming!!...

They've never left.

1776?

It clearly goes back several thousand years: Genesis 47:15

http://bible.cc/genesis/47-15.htm

Um where did the money go? Poof into thin air? No, I'll tell you. It was the first recorded instance of deflation, the money lenders pulling loans back in. Who was the moneylender? Joseph of course, he gets all their livestock and land in return for some bread.

And the sad thing is that 2000 years later, people still haven't learned the lesson.

The Dems and Repubs are having a love fest; kissing in the aisles, patting themselves on the back.

The little monsters.

Reminds me of when they got together to pass the bailouts.

Why is my ass puckering involuntarily?

Oh right, because I'm a U.S. Citizen.

if you are kind, introspective and have the capacity for

empathy,  you might be a terrorist.

if you think life is sacred, you might be a terrorist.

if you enjoy the wisdom and beauty of youth and children,

you might be a terrorist.

if you will not cower to buggery, you might be a terrorist.

if you think indoor plumbing is a feature of life that a working person

should be able to afford, you might be a terrorist.

if you talk to your neighbors beyond consideration concerning

the weather, you might be a terrorist.

if you think your taxes should not go to killing brown skinned

people in exotic and foreign places for the impact it has on the stature

of your leaders in the minds of their craven constituencies, you might

be a terrorist.

if you are educated in anyway, you might be a terrorist.

if you have no formal education, you might be a terrorist.

if you speak one or more languages with any purpose, you might be

a terrorist.

if you believe that freedom of speech applies to you, you might be a terrorist.

first, there's not going to be a police state if there is no way to pay the police.

second, there is absolutely no logistical way that they will be able to round up all the people on the above list... and, more than likely, all those people own guns.

today's market action is evidence that the elite have lost control. don't believe for one minute that their weasel minions won't make nice to keep from being sent to the gallows.

How many people are "illegally" walking the streets of the US now (immigration or any other offence that could result in incarceration)?

How many people own guns (and hence would have to be included on that list, plus all their immediate family members)?

If the government does not have the manpower and skill to deal with and process the small number of low hanging fruit- how do they plan to deal with a much larger workload of much more difficult work?

According to the Section 19 of Coinage Act of 1792, still the law of the land, willful debasement of the official currency of the republic is a capital offense, punishable by death.

Ben Bernanke is clearly debasing the currency of the republic, by willful intent. No one in a position of authority has prosecuted him for violation of the Act.

Since all are equal under the law in the United States, and a highly visible individual is actively engaged in violating a law, there cannot be selective enforcement or prosecution of any other individuals who violate the act by, for example, using another means of exchange for transacting trade in goods and services.

On the other hand, the obvious attempt to debase the dollar by a prominent public official, which has not resulted in prosecution, carries in and of itself the implication that the dollar is no longer the official currency of the republic, and thus need not be used by other citizens in transacting trade in goods and services.

You have clearly defined one of several pillars of modern economics that is flawed at its core - it keeps the sheeple poor while encouraging centralization of power.  The America I love had leaders that understood this way back in 1792 and now we have become so educated in our technical specialties we miss the over-arching obvious.  Now, how to fix it?

I became a "terrorist threat" by simply not wanting to go through the naked body scanner because I didn't want to be exposed to ionising radiation. Oh, and I do believe in the Constitution and sound money, so I guess I am a triple threat.

And then Glen Beck [and the Tea Party and its weak fellow travellers] can call you a terrorist.
