WHERE TO BUY LIBERTY RESERVE?

Are you a slave of the Federal Reserve?

• If you and I were alone on an island, and established an "economic system" under which you would do all the work to keep both of us alive, and I would "pay" you for your services by giving you paper IOUs (aka "fiat money") -- and if you don't like the idea, I kindly point out that I have the only gun on the island -- there would be no doubt that you were totally enslaved. Let's call me, the one doing the enslaving, "the federal reserve" and call my gun "the government." Now you understand the role of the Federal Reserve in our society. There are two kinds of money: 1. Commodity money, such as gold and other precious metals, which can be produced by ANYONE, and 2. Fiat money, which can only be (legally) produced by governments and/or licensed central banks. The fact that ANYONE can mine gold or produce any other commodity used as money is vitally important, from the standpoint of individual freedom. If YOU can mine some gold, and smelt it into coins, your coins will have the same value as anyone's. Gold is the money of free men, who trade value-for-value as equals. Fiat money, on the other hand, comes from a central banker (The Federal Reserve) or a politician (who calls himself "the government") printing up his own entitlement to YOUR wealth. Instead of engaging in the difficult, dangerous and uncertain project of finding gold, the bankers and politicians run their fiat "money" off a printing press, risk-free and effort-free. Under our present fascist system, banks print up their banknotes, which they lend to the government (in return for government bonds), and the government spends the money into the economy -- essentially confiscating valuable goods and services and forcing their victims to accept worthless paper in return. No one but government and their favored bankers can produce fiat money -- because no one but government can force people to act against their own interests and expect to get away with it. No one but government can claim that their paper buttwipe is "money" and force you to take it for your valuable goods and services. No one but government can make you their slave, and enforce their claims on your life, your liberty and your property. As gold is the money of free men, fiat paper is the money of slaves. And the issuer of the fiat paper is the slave-master. Additional details: A quote from Sir John Stamp (former governor of the Bank of England): "The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astonishing piece of slight of hand ever invented. Banking was conceived in iniquity, and born in sin. Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. Take this great power away from them, and all great fortunes like mine will disappear. And, they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. But if you want to continue to be the slaves of the bankers, and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money, and control credit." Additional details: Ron Paul is the only Presidential candidate who "gets" this.
