Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters!

1. Michael Badnarik Has Heart Attack
I regret to inform you that my personal friend, arch patriot, Constitution scholar, 2004 Presidential candidate and most recently President of the 2009 Continental Congress had a heart attack on Tuesday, December 22. Michael was unconscious and his condition was diagnosed as serious.

At the time of the heart attack, Michael was in Madison, Wisconsin attending a hearing regarding a raw milk case. After the hearing he got in a car to go to lunch with friends, He then slumped over. His friends attempted CPR and contacted the paramedics. They attempted to revive him 3 times with no success. Upon the 4th attempt his heart was revived yet with erratic behavior. He was then taken by helicopter to Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU in Lacrosse, WI and fitted with a temporary pacemaker and a balloon pump to ease stress on his heart.

As of yesterday, Monday, December 28, Michael's Mother, Elaine said that his condition seems to have "backslid". They were hoping that he would have been released on Wednesday to his Mother's care in Indiana but his condition is still critical.

When Michael regained consciousness he unbound his wrists, removed the breathing tube from his throat and asked to be released not understanding how serious his situation was. The hospital had to sedate him again to put the breathing tube back in because he is having trouble breathing and is currently sedated to ease the pressure on his lungs and heart.

At this time Michael still in arterial fibrillation and a AED defibrillator has been applied to reset his heart rhythm and remains sedated until his condition can be stabilized at the Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU in Lacrosse, WI.

Please do no call or visit the hospital as only family is allowed.
I will post an Alert as soon as Michael's condition improves.

2. Liberty Dollar Site Butchered
The good news is that the famed Liberty Dollar site is not down. The bad news is that I butchered it as court ordered and it is a mere shadow of its former self. Please note "THE UGLY TRUTH NOTICE" that is currently posted on the site. Isn't political action fun!? Long live the Liberty Dollar supporters! And remember the only reason I had to butcher the site was because it was a new condition of my Appearance Bond. Thank God for your support and the Internet. Please search "Liberty Dollar" for all the info.

3. Free Competition in Currency Act by Ron Paul
As I commented when the good Congressman first introduced his "Free Competition in Currency Act" and mentioned the Liberty Dollar, we don't need the government making "real money" legal - it's already LEGAL! Plus there are several inaccurate statements in Congressman Paul's statement as private mints are already legal and supply the US mint with all their precious metal planchets (blanks) for minting. And as mentioned in the original Statement, the purpose of Section 486 was not "to shut down private mints that had been operating in California" as they had ceased to operate by 1864. For a definitive report on 486 please click HERE for the Rostcheck Paper.

Please click HERE for Paul's introductory statement.

Certainly one thing is very true, and that is the alluded statutes, 18 USC 486 and 489, are so broadly written that they are catch-all provisions that encourages prosecutorial abuse as is the current case against the Liberty Dollar. Please click HERE for the proposed Act H.R. 4683 that was initially introduced in the 110th Congress in 2007 and was just re-introduced this year.

4. John Williams on Hyperinflation
John Williams of Shadowstats.com fame in an interview on King World News discusses looming hyperinflation, staggering unemployment, the reality of the US economy, the Fed's inability to stimulate the economy, consumer's inability to spend, the coming collapse of the US Dollar, how listeners need to prepare themselves for this crisis, the Fed's debasement of the Dollar, an intensifying great depression, disappearance of cash as we know it and more.

Walter J. "John" Williams received an A.B. in Economics, cum laude, from Dartmouth College in 1971, a M.B.A. from Dartmouth's Amos Tuck School of Business Administration in 1972, and was named an Edward Tuck Scholar. He has a long career as a consulting economist with individuals and Fortune 500 companies. Please click HERE for John's latest update.

5. Warning of Crash-Induced Unrest
I apologize including three shocking, negative reports regarding the social, political and monetary effects on our country as it goes down the hyperinflation depressionary rat hole. So I have limited this Newsletter to only two. If you have any doubt what our future may bear or if you think the powers to be are in the dark… just read this long list of warning by almost every major authority… except for Obummer. In his mind, all is well. So you should wonder where his mind is? Maybe it was the same place as President Bush's for the seven minutes he sat and read to an elementary class after being informed of terrorist attack on 911. Please click HERE for Washington Blog with a list of "Officials and Experts Warn of Crash-Induced Unrest" posted on Wednesday, December 16, 2009.

6. More Damn BS Regarding Kevin
I guess it comes with age, as I am not the angry Monetary Architect of years ago. But when I learned the latest info regarding Kevin I got pissed! Not only does Kevin have no shoes or socks, but when his jumpsuit is being washed he sits naked in his 65 degree cell. Jails in the "civilized" world have not improved much since those wretched movies about the French Revolution. But what made me really angry was to learn that all our Affidavits that mentioned the Liberty Dollar were shitcanned by Kevin's immigration attorney as unacceptable! It seems only reasonable that we should have been better informed about such a deciding factor. But "reason" is not reasonable in the current US legal labyrinth. (Please note The Trial below in #9) So, once again we are back to square one with our efforts to get Kevin out of jail. If you were so kind to send an Affidavit for Kevin and mentioned "Liberty Dollar" in it, please re-submit another notarized Affidavit that does not mention the Liberty Dollar to the immigration attorney.

7. Push & Push Back - Action Abates Fear
When I was a boy, more than 50 years ago, I saw Forbidden Planet, the 1956 science fiction movie. I was enthralled with the movie and saw it a couple of times. Over the years I have come to appreciate it as a meaningful philosophical parable.

On the surface, Forbidden Planet was about an expedition sent to the planet Altair IV to investigate the disappearance of a colony sent 20 years earlier. But before the star ship can land, it is warned by Morbius of a strange unknown monster that killed the crew and destroyed their starship. Of course the new expedition lands and is met by Robby the Robot who takes the crew to meet Morbius who explains that that the native Krell, a very advanced civilization had all died in a single night 200,000 years before, just as they had achieved their greatest triumph.

Below the surface, is the disturbing concept that your fear is the worst monster. And that the more you fear, the more that monster grows and grows until it finally kills you as it killed the Krells on the Forbidden Planet.

Over the past fifty years, I have learned to fear not. And with a raging federal government, I again reflect on fear and the overpowering message from the Forbidden Planet. The more we fear the government the more it grows. I fear not and you should fear not. Action abates fear.

The more the government pushes and more the people push back. Obummer's ratings are down, the federal government is losing ground and quite frankly the people are fed up as witnessed by the rise of the Tea Party, etc. All of this in spite of mind control, television and thousands of talking heads dishing out pabulum on a daily basis.

It would be overly idealistic to think the government will improve anytime soon. It simply can't and won't until the people demand it. Much like the war on alcohol in the thirties or marijuana today, the people must lead, so the federal government can follow. This is especially true regarding the country's money. Don't fear the future - just embrace it positively with the private voluntary barter currency of your choice.

8. National Debt Update
On June 21, 2007 I made a presentation at the American Institute for Economic Research titled "Monetary Assertion." At that time, I noted that the current U.S. debt (including certain portions of it that the government calls intragovernmental holdings) was approx. $6.54 trillion in June of 2003 according to Bureau of the Public Debt and was expected to rise to well over $7 trillion in the next few years." Well I dare say the Bureau of the Public Debt was right. The National Debt is indeed "well over." Hell it is "well done!" Currently the US debt is over $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and clicking right along at over a million a minute! Please click HERE to check the current US Debt Clock.

9. The Trial by Franz Kafka
During the 60s The Trial by Franz Kafka was a popular read. As my own trial looms, I have been drawn to read it again. The current translation of The Trial by Breon Mitchell tidies up Kafka's unconventional grammar, punctuation and captures the loose, uneasy, and even uncomfortable constructions of Franz Kafka's original work while still conveying the comedy and confusion in which Josef K., "without having done anything truly wrong," is arrested, tried, convicted and executed - on a charge that is never disclosed to him.

The story of The Trial's publication is almost as fascinating as the novel itself. Kafka intended his parable of alienation in a mysterious bureaucracy to be burned, along with the rest of his diaries and manuscripts, after his death in 1924 (the year after the hyperinflation gave rise to Nazi Germany). Yet his friend Max Brod pressed forward to prepare The Trial and the rest of Kafka's papers for publication. But with the Nazis in power, publication of Jewish writers such as Kafka was forbidden. So it was not until after World War II that Kafka's writings, many of which have distinctively Jewish themes, found broad audience. You may also find Amerika by Franz Kafka worth reading.

Meanwhile, I hope you can join me in Statesville, North Carolina this spring for the Liberty Dollar Four Trial. It promises to be a landmark event that may define the monetary course for this country and your money for years to come.

10. Will Gold be the "Greatest Trade Ever"
In the December 28, 2009 issue of Money Morning is an article by Peter Krauth titled Will Gold be the "Greatest Trade Ever" and how John A. Paulson will grace the coveted top of the annual Forbes Billionaires List in spite of the fact that the gap between John Paulson, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet is huge. Please click HERE for the complete article. And be sure to scroll down to Going For the Gold to find how Krauth thinks Paulson is going to top the list of billionaires in 2015!! Then think of your future and what you want to do. Then think how you can get a much larger return for a lot less money. And then finally think of silver. Given market size, usage, reserves and countless other factors, silver will be the most rewarding thing on this planet, except love. Enjoy.

11. Harper's Liberty Dollar Article Is Out
I am very please to inform you that the blockbuster eight page article (short story) on the Liberty Dollar is on the newsstands! My compliments to Sam Shaw for his excellent article and to the editors of Harper's for airing this definitive piece just as we go on trial for the high crime of counterfeiting US currency! If it were not so serious, it would be laughable. But nobody is laughing at this government. Please click PART 1 / PART 2 for the Harper's article.

Closing Remarks:
A belated Merry Christmas to everyone. Wishing you the best in 2010 - a banner year for the Liberty Dollar Four as we stand trial for trying to save the American monetary system and providing as many people as possible with the means to protect their purchasing power.

Many thanks for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" that we will be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Thanks again for your efforts to return America to value - one Liberty Dollar at a time!
