FBI: Gold Standard Advocates Are Extremists

From ZeroHedge:

Just when we thought the US could not sink any further in its usurpation of civil rights, here comes the FBI to advise all those who tend to think that the broken economic model of the past century is the cause for the global insolvency, that wanton fiat diluation and reckless debt issuance does not 'fix' the problem of uber-leverage, and that the gold standard is the proper way to return to monetary stability, will henceforth be considered extremists. From Reuters: "Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday. These extremists, sometimes known as "sovereign citizens," believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference." And the most epic line ever written: "The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard." So... the US did not go bankrupt by going off the gold standard? But why did the US "go bankrupt" then? We are confused.

Now it looks as if the FBI has joined the Department of Homeland Security in being politicized by the Obama administration. If you didn't catch the drift of that quote I'll spell it out. The deep thinking economists at the FBI, hoping that the public has forgotten its cross dressing former director, and not informed that its most recent former director, Louis Freeh is a hired gun for the parent company of MF Global to see to it that the investors who had their accounts raided by Jon Corzine remain screwed, now has the temerity to state that citizens who have lost faith in the nation's currency are extreme. What next? Will the Department of Defense accuse American Catholic Bishops of sedition? Maybe the FBI would like to venture a guess as to why the price of gold has doubled on Obama's watch. The sad fact is we would have been better off had we listened to Glen Beck rather than Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, Barney Frank, or Obama appointees Lawrence Summers, Christina Romer, or Jared Bernstein. Now coming late to the game the FBI must be silly enough to think it can drive down the price of gold by demonizing gold buyers. One hopes that a future administration will have the fortitude to fire not just the political appointees but the career civil servants who have descended into political service to this corrupt administration.
