NORFED, the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Codes, together with its officers, members, associates, and customers (collectively NORFED), was founded by Bernard von NotHaus in 1998. In or around 2007 NORFED was renamed Liberty Dollar Services, Inc. 2. NORFED has continuously been in operation from 1998 to the present. 3. Bernard von NotHaus was the president ofNORFED and the Executive Director of Liberty Dollar Services, Inc. until on or about September 30, 2008. He is also the Regional Currency Officer in Evansville, Indiana where NORFED corporate offices are maintained. Bernard von NotHaus designed the Liberty Dollar currency in 1998. 4: WilliamKevin T!1!1esistheAsheville;NorthCarolinaRegio
nalCurrency··Officer for NORFED and one of three members of the NORFED Executive Committee. 5. The corporate office, which is also known as the NORFED Fulfillment Office, is located in Evansville, Indiana. The corporate office contracts for the printing and minting of American Liberty Dollar, receives orders and monetary payments in United States Currency for Liberty Dollars, distributes materials, distributes Page 1 of 13 Case 5:09-cr-00027-RLV-DCK Document 3 Filed 05/19/2009 Page 2 of 13 Liberty Dollar currency, and organizes the Liberty Dollar University which trains Regional Currency Officers and Liberty Dollar Associates in methods of sale and distribution of Liberty Dollars. The Liberty Dollar website, www.libeliydollar.org is serviced and maintained at the corporate office. NORFED uses the United States mails and Postal Service to send and receive materials to and from the Fulfillment Office. 6. Until in or around March 2008, Sarah Bledsoe was the NORFED Fulfillment Office manager in Evansville, Indiana. 7. Rachelle Moseley works in the Evansville, Indiana corporate office ofNORFED and has been employed as the Regional Currency Officer Manager and Chief Operations Officer. 8. Bernard von NotHaus, NORFED and the members and associates ofNORFED have circulated the Liberty Dollar in the United States’ economy from 1998 until the present date. 9. NORFED mints the Liberty Dollar coins at the Sunshine Mint in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. 10. On October 17,2005, an FBI agent working undercover called NORFED fromNorth Carolina at telephone number 1-888-421-6181. The agent used a credit card to purchase the Liberty Dollar Associate membership and materials and to emoll in Liberty Dollar University, a total purchase of$550.00. 11. On November 3, 2005, an FBI agent working undercover received the previously ordered Liberty Dollar Associate package in the United States mail. The package contained the NORFED Liberty Dollar Associate introductory packet of materials, which included American Liberty Dollar coins and warehouse receipts. Purpose and Use of the American Liberty Dollar 12. Since 1998, NORFED has been issuing, disseminating, and placing into circulation, including by use of the Postal Service and United States mails, the Liberty Dollar in all its forms throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The purpose of NORFED is to mix LibertyDollars into the current money of the United States. NORFED intends for the Liberty Dollar to be used as current money in order to limit reliance on, and to compete with, United States currency. 13. The Liberty Dollar, which is created in paper and coin form, is intended by NORFED to be a circulating currency used to purchase goods and services. Because NORFED, as a core belief, views United States currency as worthless, it Page 2 of 13 Case 5:09-cr-00027-RLV-DCK Document 3 Filed 05/19/2009 Page 3 of 13 intends the Liberty Dollar to be used as current money in order to limit reliance on, and to compete with, Federal Reserve Notes and coinage. 14. The NORFED Liberty Dollar coins are marketed as an inflation proof currency intended to be spent like U.S. Federal Reserve Notes and coins, and are alleged to be backed by and redeemable for silver and gold. 15. Bernard von NotHaus authored a book entitled The Liberty Dollar, America’s Inflation ProofCurrency, 100% backed by and Redeemable in Gold and Silver (hereinafter The Liberty Dollar). In his book, von NotHaus writes that “the Liberty Dollar is ‘direct competition’ to the current money of the United States”, and that the Liberty Dollar is a “free market currency” which is designed “to be in commerce” and is “meant to be spent”. 16. In The Liberty Dollar . .. (p. 20-21), paying for goods and services with Liberty Dollars is described by Von Nothaus as follows: When the FRN are mixed with the Silver Liberty, the acceptance rate is nearly 100%. I’ve only been refused once out of hundreds of transactions. Second, when I get to the cashier, I say ‘I have the paper, [show them the FRN cash], but I would like to pay with silver.’ I then drop the $10 Silver Liberty in the cashier’s hand. Then wait. … When they ask ‘is it real?’ I always answer: ‘Yes, ounce of silver, 10 dollars.’ Letthem look at it as long as they like… If they ask, ‘Where did you get it?’ my first answer is ‘From a friend who collects them, but I like to spend them.’ Smile. This lets them know it’s inherently valuable and that people collect them and some people spend them, in just one sentence. It also lets them know that you’re not crazy to spend this money and there are others doing it too. Forms of the Liberty Dollar 17. The American Liberty Dollar currency is available in three forms: coins, warenousereceipts, arid LibertyDi:illars(Digitill ! Electfi:iriicLibertyDi:illilfs): 18. There are five primary coins issued, exchanged, presented, uttered and circulated by NORFED: one dollar, five dollar, ten dollar, twenty dollar, and fifty dollar. 19. NORFED states that the currency is 100% backed by silver or other precious metals. Page 3 of 13 Case 5:09-cr-00027-RLV-DCK Document 3 Filed 05/19/2009 Page 4 of 13 Members of the Organization 20. There are four levels of membership, or participation, in NORFED. The first is a Regional Currency Officer (RCO) who markets the currency regionally. Regional Currency Officers pay an annual fee to obtain a geographic region where they sell and distribute the Liberty Dollars, and where they also recruit new members. 21. The second level of participation or membership is the Liberty Dollar Associate. The Liberty Dollar Associate pays $250.00 (U.S. currency) for membership. The Associate then receives 100 Liberty Dollars (coins and warehouse receipts), information about and access to Liberty Dollars, and a packet of information which is designed to help them market the Liberty Dollar currency. Once the Liberty Dollar Associate is a member, they can then purchase Liberty Dollars at a discounted rate from their regional currency officer or from. the NORFED website. The person who refelTed the new Liberty Dollar Associate (typically another Liberty Dollar Associate or Regional Currency Officer) receives 100 Liberty Dollars as a refelTal fee. NORFED keeps the remaining $50 U.S. currency as profit. 22. The third level of membership is the Merchant. Merchants are typically people within the community or own or run a business which accepts U.S. cUlTency as payment for goods and services. Merchants are recruited by members of the Liberty Dollar organization to accept Liberty Dollar currency in exchange for goods and services, just as the merchant would accept official U.S. CUlTency. The Regional Currency Officers and Liberty Dollar Associates focus on recruiting merchants, not only to make money from the refelTal fee, but also to provide a place where the Liberty Dollar currency is accepted for goods and services. Merchants are encouraged to purchase Liberty Dollar currency at a discount and then to use the Liberty Dollar cUlTency to make change for U.S. Currency. In making the exchange, the Liberty Dollar Merchant can make a profit and fnrther place Liberty Dollars into circulation. Typically, Liberty Dollar Merchant’s are willing to participate in the Liberty Dollar exchange not only for profit, but also for the free advertising which is promised by the Liberty Dollar organization. Some are convinced, by the Liberty Dollar RCO or associate to participate to show “unity” with other local merchants. 23. TheLiberty Merchant Handbook,Which is publilished by NORFED and has been in use by NORFED since 2003, describes the role and activities of Liberty Merchants. This Handbook states that a Liberty Merchant must agree “to accept Liberty currency when presented” and “agree to offer Liberty Currency as change [for U.S. currency] whenever possible”. The Handbook further provides that the Liberty Merchant makes a profit by giving Liberty Dollars “out as change”. Page 4 of 13 Case 5:09-cr-00027-RLV-DCK Document 3 Filed 05/19/2009 Page 5 of 13 24. The fourth level of participation in the Liberty Dollar scheme is the purchaser who receives money from Liberty Dollar Merchant as change for a purchase. Some purchasers knowingly and willingly accept the Liberty Dollar currency as change. Other purchasers however do not know that they have been provided Liberty Dollar currency as change for a purchase because the Liberty Dollar currency appears to be official U.S. currency. Thus, in this instance, the unknowing customer has been provided coinage which cannot legally be used as U.S. currency, nor can it be deposited into the U.S. banking system because it is not U.S. currency. The Profit Scheme 25. NORFED, the Regional Currency Officers, Associates, and member Merchants make a profit circulating the currency. NORFED sells the American Liberty Dollar to Regional Currency Officers, Associates, and Merchants at a price greater than the daily spot price of silver, but less than monetary denomination reflected on the currency’s face value. NORFED’s profit is the difference between the value for which the silver minted in the coin was purchased by NORFED, and the price for which it sells the coin. a. On or about November 15, November 22, November 23, December 9, December 28, 2005, and other occasions in 2005, RCO Innes purchased $10 and $20 Liberty coins from NORFED. Innes placed his order with NORFED through Bledsoe and Moseley. The order was then shipped by NORFED to either his residence or Post Office Box in Asheville, North Carolina. b. On or about May 16, December 6, and other occasions in 2006, Regional Currency Officer Innes purchased $20 Liberty coins from NORFED. Innes placed his order with NORFED through Bledsoe and Moseley. The order was then shipped by NORFED to either his residence or Post Office Box in Asheville, North Carolina. c. On or about February 19, April 18, October 5, and other occasions in 2007, Regional Currency Officer Innes purchased $20 Liberty coins from NORFED. Innes placed his order with NORFED through Bledsoe and Moseley: The order was then shipped by NORFED to either his resideince or Post Office Box in Asheville, North Carolina. 26. Regional Currency Officers, Associates and Merchants sell the Liberty Dollar coin at a greater price than they pay for it. Thus, the profit for these individuals is the difference between their discounted purchase price and the price for which they sell the coin, or in the Merchant’s case, the value that they equalize it to U.S. Page 5 of 13 Case 5:09-cr-00027-RLV-DCK Document 3 Filed 05/19/2009 Page 6 of 13 currency when making change. 27. A person who is not affiliated with NORFED pays the face value minted on the coin. 2006 Warning by the United States Mint 28. On September 14,2006, the United States Mint issued a press release and warning to American citizens that the Liberty Dollar was “not legal tender”. The Mint press release and public service announcement stated that the Department of Justice had determined that the use of Liberty Dollars as circulating money was a federal crime. Thereafter, the U.S. Mint mailed copies of the press release/public service announcement to known NORFED regional currency officers. Additionally, NORFED alerted Regional Currency Officers and members of the Media regarding the U.S. Mint warning. 29. Since the U.S. Mint issued the warning, NORFED, its officers, members, and associates, have continued to circulate the Liberty Dollar in cornrnerce. a. On or about May 16, December 6, and other occasions in 2006, Regional Currency Officer Innes purchased Liberty coins from NORFED, sold Liberty coins to Liberty Dollar Associates and Merchants, and uttered Liberty Dollar coins to the public in the Western District of North Carolina. b. On or about February 19, April 18, October 5, and other occasions in 2007, Regional Currency Officer Innes purchased Liberty coins from NORFED, sold Liberty coins to Liberty Dollar Associates and Merchants, and uttered Liberty Dollar coins to the public in the Western District of North Carolina. 30. In October 2005, Liberty Dollar University (LDU) number 7 was held in the Western District of North Carolina. Innes and von NotHaus were both lecturers at the conference. Rachelle Moseley and Sarah Bledsoe helped to market LDU number 7, and assisted in the preparation of the conference. At the conference, von Nothaus identified Rachelle Moseley and Sarah Bledsoe as employees of NORFED:mifing·alecturearthisconference,’V onNotHauSfoldattendeesthat the Liberty Dollar was “entirely legal”, but that they should not contact the FBI or the United States Secret Service because to do so would “kick a sleeping dog”. He also told the attendees not to use the word “coin”, instead they should call the Liberty Dollar “currency”. He also instructed attendees that they should tell merchants, to whom they wanted to sell the Liberty Dollar, that they should use the terminology “making money by making change”. Thus encouraging the Page 6 of 13 Case 5:09-cr-00027-RLV-DCK Document 3 Filed 05/19/2009 Page 7 of 13 merchants to provide Liberty Dollars to unsuspecting customers as change, instead of using United States currency as change. Von NotHaus also advised that NORFED would be issuing Liberty Dollar coins for each state, and planned to release these coins during the same time that the U.S. Mint was introducing the State nickle. Von NotHaus also stated, during a lecture, that NORFED was making a profit of more than $1,000,000 United States Dollars per year. He also stated that there were approximately $15 million Liberty Dollars in circulation. 31. In November 2006, at a meeting in the Western District of North Carolina, Bernard von NotHaus stated that the U.s. Mint warning was “wrong” and that Liberty Dollar activities were lawful. He stated that there were $20 million Liberty Dollars in circulation, thus competing with U.S. currency. He also advised attendees about the language of the U.S. Mint warning, and how they should avoid terminology which associated the Liberty Dollar with U.S. currency. Thus, he encouraged Liberty Dollar users to continue with their distribution activities, but to avoid certain terminology. He advised that the U.S. Mint warning was “a lie”. 32. At a meeting in March 2007 in the Western District of North Carolina, Bernard von NotHaus discussed the U.S. Mint warning with Liberty Dollar merchants, associates, and RCO limes. Von NotHaus stated that NORFED was a multimillion dollar company. Again, von NotHaus advised attendees that the Liberty Dollar was legal. Resemblance to Legal Tender and Coins oCtIle United States 33. Article I, section 8, clause 5 of the United States Constitution delegates to Congress the power to coin Money and to regulate the Value thereof. This power was delegated to Congress in order to establish and preserve a uniform standard of value. Along with the power to coin money, Congress has the concurrent power to restrain the circulation of money which is not issued under its own authority in order to protect and preserve the constitutional currency for the benefit of the nation. Thus, it is a violation oflaw for private coin systems to compete with the official coinage of the United States. 34. In accordance with the U.S. Constitution, Federal Reserve Notes (FRN’s), 5bligations;andSeclititiesoftheUl1ited·S tates··whichare issued bytheU:S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and coins which are issued by the U.S. Mint, m:e the current money of the United States. 35. Liberty Dollar coins resemble coins of the United States. Liberty Dollar coins of five, ten, twenty, and fifty dollars are engraved with the “$”(dollar sign) which signifies and is universally known as the symbol for the United States dollar. In Page 7 of 13 Case 5:09-cr-00027-RLV-DCK Document 3 Filed 05/19/2009 Page 8 of 13 addition, the word “dollar” is printed on the coins. 36. The five “dollar” denomination of the Liberty Dollar is the same size as the Kennedy half-dollar coin of the United States. 37. The ten “dollar” denomination ofthe Liberty Dollar is the same size as the Eisenhower dollar coin of the United States. 38. United States coins in the denominations of dollar, half-dollar, quarter, dime and nickel are engraved with the phrase “In God We Trust”. Liberty Dollar coins of five, ten, twenty and fifty “dollars” are engraved with the phrase “Trust in God”. 39. United States coins in the denominations of dollar, half-dollar, quarter, dime and nickel are engraved with the word “Liberty”. Liberty Dollar coins of five, ten, twenty and fifty “dollars” are engraved with the word “Liberty”. 40. The dime of the United States is engraved with a burning torch. The one dollar coin of the United States is engraved with the Statue of Liberty holding a burning torch. Liberty Dollar coins of five, ten, twenty, and fifty “dollars” are engraved with a burning torch. 41. The one-dollar James Monroe coin of the United States is engraved with the Statue of Liberty. Liberty Dollar coins of five, ten, twenty and fifty “dollars” are engraved with a crowned head remarkably similar, if not exactly the same, as the crowned head on the Statue of Liberty. 42. United States coins in the denominations of half-dollar, quarter, dime and nickel are silver in color. Liberty Dollar coins in the denominations of five, ten, twenty, and fifty “dollars” are silver in color. 43. Liberty Dollar coins in the denominations of five, ten, twenty, and fifty “dollars” are engraved with “USA”. 44. In The Liberty Dollar…., Bernard von NoH-Jaus writes that “[w]hen the FRN’s [legal U.S. coins] are mixed with the American Liberty Dollar coins, the acceptance rate is nearly 100%”. COUNT ONE 45.

Has 11,400 miles on it.
Sure seemed to cost a lot.
Bye for now....Pix at 11.
A stock has a life.
An option has a life.
Commodities have lives of their own. Usually short term.
And some things transform into others with mergers and acquisitions.
One thing you can count on is the Industrial Average eventually going to zero.
Another is that every single stock will go to zero.
Corrections happen when things get overlooked.
The more the overlook, the bigger the correction.
Usually the correction is based on greed and the
behaviors associated with them.
Way back there at DOW 1600 or so, I stopped and
bought one single solitary share of Coca-Cola,
for the princely sum of Sixty Nine Dollars.
The date was May 15th, 1985.
The stock has had an incredible run.
It has split 24-1 since buying it.
It reached $88 a share in November 1998
and I sold 12 shares at that time to
establish a tech startup called Webbittown Corp.
I still have 12 of those shares left.
They are for sale at the princely sum of $2.87
each, should the publicly traded price trade that low.
The Coca-Cola rise since 1985 has outpaced that of
real estate in most places on this planet. You could
own a piece of anything, just by buying coca-cola stock
as I have advanced since 1985.
I do not advocate buying this stock until the price
reaches 2.87 as it might take another 10 years to get
the stock to that price.
This is no 'bear' up to it market.
Nor is is a bunch of 'bull' that falls apart under scrutiny.
Real Estate doesn't index the way stocks do.
Real Estate prices are coming down from the ionosphere.
They still have a long way to reverse themselves.
Then the complicated process of the frauds and deceptions
in their being used for common share capital equity will be revealed.
Then if we're lucky they can be stopped and re-regulated.
Yesterday:
I was in kind of rare form as Ken Starr (That Kenn Starr of
Whitewater Fame) was arguing the Pro-Prop 8 arguments in the
California Supreme Court. When I started the observations,
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), was down 200 points.
Ken Starr tried to use all kinds of concoctions to try to
create a criminal case against Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Nothing much ever became of it. But it was a perennial thorn in
the side of the Clinton's and the Democrat's as this
'legal investigation' continued. Wall Street rose against
this backdrop of 'secret legal investigation'. And veiled
itself from seeing how dishonest Ken Starr, the person, really was.
It's now 12 years later....since our introduction to Mr. Ken Starr Esq.
Now he is seen, in all of his glory, as to how his legal mind thinks.....
I'm in the Air America Radio live blog session with AnaMarieCox.
I have CNBC on a 27" Sony Monitor 10 feet away. Wall Street is down
200 points as I watch on TV. The Hearing is coming off a link through
a Twitter Feed from Ms. Cox. It is through a local California NBC affiliate.
That feed will change later on, but both of them are live feeds.
more to come (it's already friday and wall st is down another 72.72)
optimistic things are headed lower.
optimistic, just like i was in the mid-late 80's.
optimistic...like i was through the 90's.
But then 9-11, and lies became exposed.
and i wasn't so optimistic anymore.
in fact, it dropped even more during
the 'shock and awe' demonstration.
Finally the biggest of big lies was exposed.
I wasn't the only one to notice.
Bachelor left Bachelor and Alexander,
and Alexander had to tell the lies on his own.
They threw the bums out on the next election cycle.
Then they took away their majority.
Next they will take away the Supreme Court from them.
