robert lovelady,

When does the government ever obey any of the laws they make for us… oh yea, when it works in their favor…

And I might add how many government laws would you say are sound and constitutional???

…especially those made by progressive governments (FDR)…

Agreed.

Many countries today are taking that argument. For instance, many countries are insisting that something that was dug up a hundred years ago or longer in their country and legally moved to a museum elsewhere MUST now be returned since the country actually owns it. Spain insisted just a couple of years ago that a discovery of a sunken ship with treasure belonged to them even though the ship sank about two hundred years ago outside their territorial waters – because it was a Spanish ship at the time. Texas has a law that if ANYTHING is found, it belongs to the state – even if it is on land owned by your family for a hundred years or more. Even if you are using a metal detector on a beach and pick up some lost change, it legally belongs to the state.

It is already here. It is King Obama. He can start a war with Lybia, give Billions to foreign companies to drill oil in the Gulf, give more billions away to coutries to do with what they want, all without Congressional ok.

They were probably told to find that verdict by the judge. Many juries are told what to do – and many of those do it.

Ha ha ha….well said Jim!

They have already started raiding people’s homes and stealing their silver stockpiles, so the folks can’t defend themselves in court, and of course to pay for the raid itself. They have been doing this with FRNs for decades at least, so it shouldn’t be a shock to anyone. A friend of mine had his home raided recently and they also seized a UPS package containing over seven thousand dollars. After all if you use cash you must be a criminal right? The forfeiture laws are terrible in this country, they basically equate to: we will steal your stuff and then force you to prove it was legally yours, at your expense when you don’t have any money.

S, that lawyer [J Romero] doesn’t seem to appreciate her own words. She said, “The people of the U S were robbed.” Americans have been robbed on a regular basis since the mid-1850s (and earlier, if you want to get technical).
But, that theft of generations went into high gear in 1913. We’re being robbed now, and Congress, the W H and the Fed are doing it. I’m old enough to have seen many changes, and I will be amazed if the government doesn’t come up with more ways to rob the people. It seems it’s the main talent that ‘the best government that MONEY can buy’ has ever had.

So the rule of law should be ignored, just because you think the government is greedy?

If you believe in the rule of law, what evidence do you have that those coins were legitimately taken from the Treasury?

No, the greed of individual Americans, of Wall Street, and of Corporate America, is pretty bad, too.

You must have the belief that you exist because of some law; you’re a creation of man’s legalism. This in spite of the fact that gold and silver are the lawful tender for debt according to the Constitution. And that gold no matter how issued or lawfully found (not a result of an armed robbery or stealing) if possessed is natural lawful property or the man or woman. Instead it takes sheeple to believe that the right to breath or exist must be granted by legislation and courts.

What you believe in is that a government of select people have the right to legally steal and legally cause harm. *There was such provision for that kind of legal mischief in the founding documents, where the rights of people of color and women were legally stolen and set aside. It must be from your point then that these self-evident natural rights were granted or given to these groups instead of returned as a armed robber caught because the robber can do nothing else. And the robber can never grant his plunder back to the owner but only return such or give it back with his head held low while in chains.

You’re thinking makes a natural self-evident right to keep property a crime and armed robbery legal. Once again your words and action speak volumes. People of flesh and blood created a government and its law for the mutual benefit, goodwill, pleasure and protection of their self-evident individual rights of the people and therefore logically the owners of their government and law (*even though noted previously discrimination of mischief occurred, the principles apply to all; that is Life, Liberty, Property…).

Regardless of the elected or appointed mischief makers, it takes sheeple to get them there and keep them there. We have too many.

The Government should have to prove a crime. It is possible the coins were sold to the original owner by his supervisor.

The Assistant U.S. Attorney said…”This was clearly a crime.”
It is incumbent on the state to prove an allegation beyond a reasonable doubt.
The information above shows no such thing.
If the state had proven a crime was committed, OK, but what is the statute of limitation for a petty theft ($200)?
I am guessing it is not 80 years…

I am a coin collector, though I could never be able to own a coin as this or close. Its all a sad shame and lie. Actually some coins were givin out or sold, But FDR reniged and ordered the coins returned. He never allowed the official release of the coin as tender. But coins were released.(depending on what story you read) The one sold a few yrs ago was accually stollen from a man by the US treasury Dep. at gun point. He was arrested and treated as a criminal. He bought the coin legally from the worlds largest US coin collection belonging to the last king of Egypt at an auction. The Gov. then sold the coin. Giving nothing to the man who actually owns the coin.

Aren’t you all missing the point? While FDR robbed the American people in broad daylight impunely, yet, these coins were NEVER issued, read? The question nobody asks is HOW one jeweler STOLE these coins from FDR, the FED, or ‘US Treasury’? And also, did you notice all this time one SAME ethnicity all over this heist? Except for one Hispanic who seized away the LOOT. Hmmm…! Will Bernanke end up ‘owning’ these too?
