Yeah he's foreign which means his opionion is automatically forfeit. |
When it comes to advocating stuff like that it darn sure does. |
For once I agree with August. The regular dollar is of concern for people around the globe and does not exclusively effect Americans, so foreigner'S interest in America's internal way of handling dollar-related actions is vital and perfectly legitimate. The liberty dollar, however, is truly internal and internationally plays no role, it affects nobody outide the US. Advocating then from the outside to start civil uprise is a bit rich.
We have three dozen local currencies in Germany as well, I hope I remember that "3 dozen" correctly. Mostly they are limited to a town or city, often just parts of a medium-sized city, and nationally do not play any significant role. Mostly it is local traders and busniess networks supporting them within the realm of their business area. There it seems to have benefits, for these currencies are survicing since years, and still occasionally new ones get implemented. Some others also have died meanwhile. Telling all this by memory and a longer essay I have read somewhere two or three years back.
Where I start to feel uncomfortable is when such currencies get named with titles like "Freiheits-Euro", or "Ron Paul dollar". The obvious pathetic political opportunism and catch-phrasing does not sound well in my ears, with "freedom fries" still on my mind... It's clear that such a currency is not so much serving a constuctive, economic interest, but gets used as a vehicle to transport a political message. And that should not be what currencies are about. I assume this is in some way the background for the raids.
