m…Just what

you are

looking for?

Over the past two years while touring for NORFED, I have had the same criteria asked of me. When are we going to have a value backed currency that can be used on a daily basis, i.e. one that is more than an educational tool? Most people hip to the situation wanted something akin to an institution that is usually called a "bank" to fulfill all those functions. And as we all know, the banks of today are nothing more than a front for the government and its agenda. And in addition to bank type services, everyone wanted privacy and if it was not to be found within the good old

USA, then they were willing to go wherever it was to be found. So with this issue of the NORFED Report, I am happy to inform you, that your prayers have been answered with the advent of 3PSecure.com that will provide Privacy, Protection, and Profit - securely as close as your computer - worldwide in January.

3PSecure.com, Ltd. is definitely not a bank. It is an Internet based international financial services firm. Its mission is to provide financial services the "3PSecure" way in a technologically secure environment that emphasizes the three P's of financial Privacy, Protection from confiscation, and Profit from accumulated assets. They strongly feel that this mission cannot be accomplished in today's political climate without a careful choice of jurisdiction, both for incorporation, management and Internet connection. To that end, 3PSecure.com, Ltd. is an International Business Corporation (IBC) chartered in the

Commonwealth of Dominica, and all personnel and operations are located in their Roseau office, Dominica, West Indies.

3PSecure.com's inaugural service is 3PGold.com, enabling everyone to buy, sell and store gold - around the world, around the clock. All gold that is not delivered is independently stored in an allocated, insured, treasury grade vault in Switzerland that is independently audited monthly. Sound familiar?

In addition to the secure and private purchases of gold, Clients can also use the 3PGold.com interface to access a network of carefully selected associates for other financial services, including establishment and maintenance of trusts, brokerage services, credit cards, and specialized mutual funds. Clients can make a sale from their gold holding at any time to fund services from the 3PGold.com associates or any other provider of your choice. We're

committed to minimizing barriers to Clients' use of their gold as they see fit. For example, you will have five ways to use your gold:

i. Take physical delivery: The

specially minted Gold Internet

Dollar (GID) consists of one

Troy ounce of .9999 fine gold

will trade for a very low

premium over the spot price of

gold.

ii. Order 3PGold

bearer certificates: Each

paper 3PGold Certificate is

100% backed and redeemable

for one Gold Internet Dollar by

bearer on

demand. The attractive

Certificate uses the most

advanced anti-counterfeiting

technologies so it can not be

duplicated, replicated, or

reverse-engineered. The

3PGold Certificate can not be

counterfeited and

will trade for a

low premium over the spot

price of gold.

iii. Create an Internet Delivery

Order: 3PGold has created a

special Internet Delivery Order

(IDO) that is

modeled on the old MDO by

Mocotta. This new IDO turns a

regular floppy disk into a

receipt for a specified amount

of gold in a cryptographically

secure manner. An explanation,

instructions and the IDO software

manager is

available on each IDO and for your

review and use of this

technologically sophisticated

form of 3PGold.

iv. Keep your 3PGold in the

vault: Retaining a

balance of 3PGold with zero

storage costs, one hundred

percent backing and delivery from

an allocated account, with a

monthly

independent physical audit,

and complete privacy for all

your transactions. All

of these all excellent reasons

to consider retaining a part

of your portfolio in 3PGold.

v. Use your 3PGold towards a

bank account: 3PGold.com is

much more than just a convenient

means by which to purchase gold.

Through the use of an

international 3PTrust, you can

fund a bank

account, assign your gold as

needed into the account and

receive a foreign credit card that

allows you the security of gold

and the convenience of

using your money in any fiat

currency, worldwide.

You may also sell your gold at any

time and distribute the

proceeds via

bank wire as you direct, participate

with one of 3PSecure.com's

international financial service

providers or make any other

investment of your choice.

Just as I developed NORFED by networking my national contacts just before I retired from the Royal Hawaiian Mint, I have networked my international contacts at the request of a group of staunch freedom loving marketteers who formed 3PSecure.com. I hope you will check into this exciting new way to re-establish your God given unalienable rights and take control of your money. Please contact 3PSecure.com or go directly to 3PGold.com in JANUARY for Privacy, Protection and Profit that are no longer available from the current banking regime. You will find everything you want for your money, plus much better gold prices and leading edge uses that are not

currently available from anyone. Please do not be confused, I am still the Senior Economist at NORFED which still excels as a quality silver alternative and presents a unique Solution to reform the current banking regime through the use of the proactive and educational American Liberty Dollar.

2. Cool new site

just for

NORFED at

"Topica"

As we have discussed for some time it sure would be great to get together with other Redemption Centers, share notes, pick up tips and help grow the movement to return America to value. Well Steve Foerster, who runs the Space Coast Redemption Center in Central Florida, has set up an e-mail list for NORFED Redemption Centers and friends. Although I am new to this, I have already subscribed and you can too at: norfed-subscribe@topica.com. You don't have to

say anything in the message as it is processed automatically.

After you have subscribed you will receive a confirmation and a welcome message from Steve thanking you for signing up. Then you can send a message to the list by sending it to norfed@topica.com. The list works like the egroup lists or the e-gold list if you are familiar with them except that it's hosted for free by Topica, a web site that does nothing but host lists for people. Discussions will focus on NORFED, F*R*, IRS, The Liberty Dollar, Redemption Center issues and other issues of interest on liberty and monetary matters.

It is ready to be used. Now lets get started sharing all those great stories and ways that we can use more American Liberty Currency in the future to bring about the repeal of the F*R* and the IRS. There is no doubt that 3PSecure.com's 3PGold will be the solution for a great many people, but

there is still not an organization like NORFED to bring The Solution to the current immoral banking system. In fact, one reason why I lent my contacts and efforts to 3PSecure was that it would introduce NORFED to more people and help grow it towards its goals. Many thanks Steve for your support.

3. Daniel New

becomes a

Redemption

Center

It is my pleasure to welcome Daniel New, a well-known national speaker and rights activist to becoming a Redemption Center a few months ago. As so many national figures have become RCs, it is important for all of us to be aware that the silent evolution of monetary reform through the NORFED Solution is progressing one RC at a time. Thank you Daniel for making a stand for value. Your efforts to return America to value - one Liberty Dollar at a time - is greatly appreciated.

4. First RC in

Germany…b

ut No

Delaware RC

yet…

Well praise the Lord and thank the Internet for the means. NORFED just received its first Redemption Center in Germany… as liberty knows no bounds. And just as wonderful as it is to see the Liberty Dollar spread around the world, it is just as amazing that try as so many people have, NORFED has yet to open a Redemption Center in Delaware. Interesting that the State that cast the tie breaking vote for the US Constitution in 1787 is the last State to field one single RC…with almost 100 RCs in California and 50 in Canada, I simply wonder, is there anyone awake back there in Delaware? If you know of anyone, please mention NORFED and the Liberty Dollar to them. Remember you receive $100 referral fee for every RC you sponsor and there are still a lot more people out there to sponsor.

5. Question of

the Month:

About the

ALCheck

"Can I use my Credit Card to pay/order American Liberty Checks?" No, this is simply not possible. Please remember three things: 1.) The ALCheck is 100% backed by those dreaded Federal Reserve Notes - there is $20 on deposit for every ALCheck issued. 2.) The ALCheck is exchanged for only a dollar over face ($21) which must cover all costs. 3.) When you use your Credit Card, the merchant, i.e. NORFED in this case, pays a transaction fee. If NORFED was to accept a credit card for the ALCheck, with such a super thin margin, it would lose money - not something that this non-profit organization is allowed to do. Originally designed as an "ad specialty item" to popularize "FREE OUR MONEY" within the banking industry, you are encouraged to continue to use them whenever possible,

but please do not substitute the ALCheck for the actual gold and silver backed American Liberty Dollar - the real money.

6. First Annual

Philadelphia

Freedom

Conference

with Ed

Griffin and

Bernard von

NotHaus for

NORFED

The First Annual Philadelphia Freedom Conference will be held at the Hilton Valley Forge Hotel in the town King of Prussia, just north of Philadelphia on February 24.

Due the diligence of Al Wagner, one of NORFED's outstanding Redemption Centers this event will feature three major presentations by Ed Griffin - author of "Creature from Jekyll Island". Although there is much to be said about this major Conference, due to the late date of getting this Report posted, look for more info or

a NORFED "Alert!" in the near future. But plan for it now! One of the best things about the Conference is that it will only cost $50 per person and if you bring someone who becomes a RC you receive $100…what a wonder way to make money and help your neighbor and your country. Let's all get together and have one Righteous time! Hope to see you and your prospective RCs there. You will not be disappointed!

8. "Americans

Important

acknowledgm

ent

It is not very often that a government official actually provides such clear insights into the current monetary situation or even tells the truth for that matter. But when it happens, we should all take notice as nothing happens by consequence with the government. For that reason, please read this statement by Rep. Jack Metcalf to the House of Representatives - September 09, 1999 and on the Weissbach program (570 KVI Seattle) on Aug. 7, 2000 talking about the benefits of the New Treasury Banks. Call (425) 825-5544 for a copy of the program. Many thanks to Pep Stofen/RC for bringing this article to my attention. Please note Appendix I.

9. "Renegade

employers

openly defy

IRS"

Important

Denver

article

If you find Metcalf's interview interesting and you have any interest in the IRS…this article is a must read. The revolution by employers is spreading. First was the Florida case, then there was Arrow Plastics in Texas and another employer in California and now there are 60 employers banding together. Without the support of the employers as un-paid tax collectors, this current un-constitutional situation will not last for long. Again, it is my long held belief that the government is behind the demise of the IRS. Not that this revolution is not real nor anyone is a government agent, as I know a good many of these brave men and women, it is just that the government knows much better than you or I how many people have opted out of the IRS fraud. The government knows that if they don't do something with the IRS very soon they

may very well have a full-blown revolution on their hands as they can not control a country of well-informed citizens because then the citizens would be back in control of the government. Let the Internet and the individual sovereignty that is its nature reign. Many thanks to Cajun Mike/RC for sending this article to me. Please note Appendix II.

10. Personal…Ch

anges made

to

Christmas…

After living through eight years of death to our rights and the politicization of our shared values it is enough to make one sick to read the news of the wholesale politicization of Christmas. Below is a small indication of how traditional value are being subverted by such morons who we have given such control to…My thanks to the RC who sent this:

1.) The city council of Little Rock, Arkansas, voted to change the name of their traditional December parade–always known as the Christmas parade--to the now politically correct "Holiday parade." That’s right, the word "Christmas" was too

religious and might offend non-religious people or people of other faiths thought the city officials–so they changed the name. I can’t wait until they find out the word "holiday" actually means "holy day." 2.) And from the deep South…in the traditional "Bible belt", some school districts in Georgia have instructed their teachers not to refer to "Christmas break" as "Christmas break" anymore. Too specifically Christian. Might offend somebody. It is now to be called "winter break." 3.) And in Eugene, Oregon, Jim Johnson, issued a directive banning–get this–Christmas trees from public places. You read that right he banned Christmas trees–from public places because the tree is a religious symbol and therefore–according to Mr. Johnson–cannot be displayed on city property. In his memo to all city employees, Johnson said that while it could be contended that the Christmas tree is a "holiday" or "seasonal" decoration "it is just as clearly a decoration associated with a religious holiday or tradition." Well, you go get ’em, Mr. Johnson! Round up those first amendment violating trees. Heaven help US!!!

Thank you for making a stand for value and for being a part of NORFED.

Wishing you a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Appendix I:

"Americans are

renting our

money"

Representative Jack Metcalf: AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE RENTING THEIR CURRENCY ! Before the House of Representatives - September 09, 1999 Rep. METCALF: "Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk briefly about money. Everybody is interested in money. My wife asked me: "If you know so much about money, how come we do not have very much?" But I would like to talk about money this evening. Did you know that we pay rent on our money; the cash we use, we pay rent on it? It costs the American people $100 per person per year to rent our cash, that is, the paper money, from the Federal Reserve. Now, the Federal Reserve gets the money, it just does not spend that money or keep it. They return it to the Federal Treasury. That means that the American people are paying a tax on our money in circulation for the privilege of using Federal Reserve notes. In reality, this money

is paid to the Fed by the Treasury to pay the interest on the U.S. bonds that back our money. This is a foolish system when the U.S. Treasury could issue our currency directly without debt and without interest as they issue our coins. Most people do not know that our coins are minted by the Treasury, essentially spent into circulation, and the U.S. Treasury makes a neat profit on them.

But when we issue cash, we go further into debt. When the U.S. Government issues paper cash, they go further into debt because bonds are created to back the cash, and thus the debt increases. With a currency we go into debt, but it makes a profit when coins are placed in circulation. This is truly a system that defies logic, and we should issue our coins or issue our cash as we issue our coins. Here is a simple way to accomplish that; this is not complex, this is not rocket science. Congress only needs to pass legislation requiring the Treasury to print and issue U.S. Treasury currency in the same amount, in the same denominations, of the present Federal Reserve notes. No change in the money supply. The Treasury would issue these U.S. notes through the banks and at the

same time withdrawing a like amount of Federal Reserve notes. As these Federal Reserve notes are collected by the U.S. Treasury, they must be returned to the Federal Reserve and essentially to redeem the over $400 billion of U.S. interest bearing U.S. Treasury bonds now held by the Fed. So the Fed holds the bonds. We can take the U.S. currency and exchange it for those bonds. Over a couple of years we will have U.S. currency circulating instead of Federal Reserve notes, and the U.S. debt would be reduced by over $400 billion. That sounds too simple. Well, it is simple. This is not rocket science. There is no appreciable down side, and I expect to discuss this issue a lot in the future just because somebody needs to take a look at how our money was issued and allow us to avoid paying that $27 billion a year interest just to rent our currency from the Federal Reserve."

"Renegade

employers openly

defy IRS"

24 00 THE DENVER

POST Sunday, November 19, 2000

SPECIAL REPORT

By David Coy Johnston

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Renegade employers openly defy IRS

LAKE SHASTA, Calif. --- Al Thompson squeezed most of his Company's 28 employees into a conference room last month to say he had good news: Income taxes have to be paid by only a few Americans, mostly those working for foreign-owned companies. So, he told the workers, they would not have to pay income taxes ever

again. His business was exempt, too, he said. No Social Security or Medicare taxes, either. The company was no longer withholding taxes from their paychecks, he said, or telling the Internal Revenue Service how much they made.

Thompson is part of a tiny but increasingly flamboyant fringe of American business. Arguing that the federal tax laws do not apply to them, these small companies are thumbing their noses at the IRS in a very public way: Not only have they stopped withholding taxes and turning them over, but they are bragging about it on Web sites and radio talk shows, and organizing seminars to promote the gospel of defiance.

They are boasting that they must be right because the IRS has not come after them, even though it knows what they are doing.

Indeed, the IRS not only has failed to pursue these businesses but has in some cases has given refunds after they claimed they did not owe taxes that had been paid earlier. In at least two cases, the businesses say they even received apologetic letters from the IRS for not rescinding penalties and issuing the refunds earlier.

Many tax experts express astonishment at the idea that the IRS is aware that

legitimate businesses are cheating, yet is not pursuing them. This undermines the principle on which the U.S. tax system is based, they say: People who do not pay their taxes will pay the consequences.

How many businesses are taunting the IRS this way is impossible to know. At least 23 have made their decisions public. Sixty business owners and their advisers met on the weekend of Nov. 11 in California to plan how to persuade thousands of others to join them.

Over the years, a number of individuals have claimed to be out of reach of the tax laws, but experts including former IRS commissioners said this wave was different. "This is tremendously significant because we have never before had responsible parties -- employers -- refuse to withhold," said Sheldon Cohen, a former IRS commissioner. "The system simply cannot work if they get away with this."

The IRS declined to comment on whether it was pursuing enforcement actions against the 23 employers, citing a law that protects taxpayer privacy. But there is no public record showing litigation or enforcement actions like liens against the companies' assets.

The failure of the IRS to act even against those that

openly defy the tax laws raises questions about the agencies ability to stop tax cheating. Asked whether the IRS was moving against any such tax resisters, the senior IRS spokesman, Frank Keith, would say only that "with limited resources, the IRS must often choose which cases to pursue" and that it focuses on those that will generate the most revenue.

But Jerome Kurts, another former commissioner, disagreed. "That's a nice pat line." he said, "but they don't go after only the people with the highest income -- they audit hundreds of thousands of returns under $25,000 that produce little or no revenue -- and they can take resources from those."
