Trace Mayer: What Liberty Dollar should have learned from the Godfather
11:13a ET Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
Trace Mayer, proprietor of the Run to Gold and How to Vanish Internet sites, comments on the governnment's prosecution of the Liberty Dollar operation and its founder, Bernard von NotHaus. Liberty Dollar's fatal mistake, Mayer writes, was not its use of precious metal rounds for barter but the resemblance of its rounds to government-issued coins. Mayer's commentary is headlined "What Liberty Dollar Should Have Learned from the Godfather" and you can find it at How to Vanish here:

The Gold Standard Now: It Can Work
Today a dollar is worth 80 percent less than it was 40 years ago, and less than 5 percent of its value a hundred years ago. We deserve a dollar that is as good as gold, a dollar that will hold its value from year to year so we can be financially secure and our economy can generate more and better jobs.
For most of America's history, our dollar was literally as good as gold. But on August 15, 1971, our politicians destroyed the link between gold and the dollar. They destroyed the foundations of our economic system.
A new Internet site, TheGoldStandardNow.org, provides news and cutting-edge analysis about this most important issue and explains how the gold standard worked in the past and how it can work in the future. Visit us today:
