If anyone ordered extra copies to sell I might be interested. I just now saw that you could get a copy of Pieces of Eight and I am one day too late.

As mentioned in another comment, "the laws are for the Little people'. I beg your pardon, I do not consider myself little nor the misapplication of the Constitution a call for subservience but rather a call to arms by the people of this great experiment. As long as we are idle and allow the usurpers to run roughshod over our forefathers sacrifices we are but swine in a slaughterhouse. I prefer to be shoulder to shoulder with Patrick Henry. How much Lead, Silver and Gold do you have to use for freedom? Mr Kennedy, well spoken and well written.

This is a desk reference and a must have for anyone concerned about the History of Money and why 'Honest Money' matters so much. I have a copy of ‘Pieces of Eight’, bought a few years back.

Kenedy is well spoken and echos my sentiments, too. Case in point 1: Disdain (and refusal) by this recent court to hear the plight of senior debt holders of Chysler; 2) Convoluting '. . . public good' with '. . . public use thereof. . .' as to rights of eminent domain - and so forth. What have we when the Government by Executive decree violates the writ of Habeus Corpus (preventative detention), subverts unlawful search and seizure (illegal wiretaps) and the Congress ignores Federal Laws against cartels/monopolies by tolerating, even aiding and abetting one of the worst kind in the form of a Federal Reserve Bank that monopolizes interest rates (the price of money) to the detriment of all who work and save? Rue the day people, when ordinary citizens in this country appear by reference on CNN as 'colateral damage!' W. Kenedy is well spoken and echos my sentiments, too.

Kennedy Mon, 20 Jul 2009 07:48:38 +0000 http://www.runtogold.com/?p=4763#comment-1825 I subscribe to your email, and have purchased your e-book. My opinion is you are erudite, being well-versed in law and the science of money. What I also see is an apparent assumption on your part where the players play by the rules. I would offer to you there are no rules, a primary state of nature exists. To state a court (such as the Supreme Court) would look like buffoons if they ignored the volumes of research by Dr. Vieira, ignores the distinct possibility they care not if they look like buffoons. They might look like bufoons to you and to me. However, my belief is the vast majority of Americans would look at the two volumes of Dr. Vieira's work and immediately decide it was too many pages to read, and not worth much in their daily existence. With this in mind, a Justice (not previously bought in the slave trade of politics and power) might well consider it better to be a live buffoon than a dead idealist caught hanging one's hat on the Constitution. The stroke of the pen suspending the Constitution has already been etched on the paper representing the law of the United States. Witness the emergency powers of the Executive branch, granted by law passed in Congress, waiting to be activated by the Executive branch at the pleasure of the Executive. Envision a Supreme Court comprised of members increasingly beholden to the powers who placed them on the bench. Where is the allegiance? Certainly, I submit, not to the Constitution, interpreting it as an originalist. Rather, the allegiance is to a revisionist stance, legislating from the bench, unbridled by any law of the land save the law they, the collective justices, by decree without basis, determine to be the facts of the moment.
