At issue isn't Ted 'faggard' Haggard's sexual preferences, but instead his antinomianism; the hypocrisy between what the preacherman speaks and the preacher's man_dates. The Party of The Public Potty Peepers just don't get it. There is no inherent wrong in the gayness of thought or deed, but if someone propositions me across a stall wall in a public restroom, they have egregiously violated my privacy, and the only way they're going to get lucky is if this does not also cause a serious breech of the public peace. On a bad day I might be compelled to query forcibly: just what the fuck gave them the idea that a toilet was some sort of social networking node. I can get all the twittering tweets my heart desires on the net.
Aanother thing that these covert assclowns refuse to recognize, is that Jesus himself was OK with two guys playing stable the pony in the back forty corral, and two girls supping on give and take furburgers. He clearly stated that these were not causes for or against salvation:
Luke 17
32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
How much more scriptural proof does one need?
welcome. this one was pretty easy. I'm thinking Rob Gray is likely a von NotHaus patsy, and doesn't even realise it. He's calling it currency, that makes it a federal violation. He's using the net, and probably phone lines, which immediately doubles up to interstate wire fraud. Calling it a bank is likely another felony. Canadian server ain't going to save him, and may in fact be an enhancement. This doesn't even begin to reach into messing around with other people's securities without a license. Yet, just a skimming search points directly at him from all directions. The guy is a fool, probably believes the crap about the laws being unconstitutional. He didn't come up with this scheme all by his lonesome.
The Free Lakota Bank website promises to safeguard other people's precious metals for a fee.
When you bank with Lakota, you can expect us to safeguard your property with our lives. We will defend it from theft by looting or force. We will charge you a fee for this service.
Yet, nowhere on the website of Free Lakota Bank is there any mention of their physical location. There is also no mention of a third-party entity serving in the capacity of auditor or providing any verification of their claims.
Within the claims made by the Lakota Bank, there is the implied assertion they they will not use your deposits to secure any financial instruments, nor will they use it for loans. They have a separate, "General Investment Fund", for these purposes. Since they claim they are only securing your deposits, they charge a service fee of: 0.005%/mo OR 0.06%/yr. That is a nonsensically low fee in return for the service promised. This is a very typical part of a scam. You receive something at much less than its true value. Where do they get their end?
The Lakota Bank does not claim they have been licensed by any entity. They state that: "we issue, circulate and accept for deposit only AOCS-Approved silver and gold currencies" and they imply some sort of affiliation when stating that there are no fees assessed for: "unlimited transfers to accounts at any other AOCS bank". There can also be found on the website an image that says: "AOCS Approved". On the Lakota Bank website's Currency Promotion page can be found:
As the Free Lakota Bank does not sell silver, we invite you instead to access our Currency either through the network of AOCS Approved Currency Officers or by participating in a FreeMarketMetals.com Bulk Order. A Bulk Order purchase may be delivered to you or directly to your account at our Bank. A Bulk Order is by far the fastest and easiest way to fund your Free Lakota Bank account.
Odd that the Lakota Bank claims that they issue AOCS-Approved silver and gold currencies on one page, but then say that they do no sell silver on another.
AOCS stands for The American Open Currency Standard, and lists as contact: Rob Gray; National Currency Director; (888) 538-9990. The other place to acquire minted metal that the Lakota Bank will accept in deposit is Free Market Metals.
freelakotabank.com, opencurrency.com and freemarketmetals.com all resolve to the same IP: 205.178.145.65. It's a Network Solutions shared server, physically located in Toronto, Canada, with over 270,000 other domains hosted on it. All three domains are registerd by Network Solutions. freelakotabank.com and opencurrency.com are both registered to Rob Gray with a contact email server of networksolutionsprivateregistration.com. freemarketmetals.com is registered to an entity: "The Revolution". It's Administrative contact is rgray@revolution.gs, and address given is 7004 Bishop Road #3316, Plano, TX. It turns out that revolution.gs is also registered by Network Solutions, but to "The Revolution", and contact email server is networksolutionsprivateregistration.com.
It looks like Lakota Bank, and the two entities that it accepts metal deposits from, all point to the same Rob Gray, of Plano, TX. Can you say, "lack of transparency?" The AOCS website also lists Rob Gray as the Currency Officer from Texas, as well as being their National Currency Director.
Presently, the AOCS offers a 1oz
Now if any of you think von NotHaus was or the AOCS is legit, I'm more than willing to to undersell them. For this day only, I will exchange with you 1oz of
The AOCS gives props to Bernard von NotHaus on their website. Also worth noting is that Rob Gray is listed as a Liberty Dollar Dallas Regional Currency Officer, using the same phone number as is listed as the contact number for the domain, revolution.gs. Gray is also a member of The Austin Libertarian Meet-up Group (picture), and this does seem to be a mite bit redundant, but he also is a supporter of Ron Paul.
You should have loaded up their most excellent flash game, and played a few rounds:
5 minutes to kill yourself.
It's great for blowing off steam.
It's so good, they even came up with a sequel:
Five minutes to kill (yourself) 2
to receive unpaid compensation which is rightfully theirs, resultant from a contractual agreement (union or non-union - written, spoken or inferred), they have every right to strike as a means to receive their compensation, and the government should intervene on their behalf in an effort to enforce the contract. That is an important governmental function in a free-market, is it not?
Are you supporting impairment of contracts?
