Although I never met Mr Blumert, any friend of true liberty is a friend of mine. Personally I have learned much the past 5-6 years learning more and more about what actual freedom looks like, and the barriers preventing our collective advancement towards it. Digging deeply (for me at least) into history and our current situation has been the only way I have made some sense of the world. May I humbly suggest to you all that true freedom might never appear whilst an oligarchical few control the monies of the world, for their own private gains. Even the bible suggests that the world lies in the power of the "great deceiver" and that there is a demon for every nation. Could this possibly mean the central banks, as setup by the western oligarchical banking cabals? The FED, the IMF, the WorldBank, etc, are all run by privateers, and actively prevent the sovereign governments from issuing their own lawful currency. The 'weak footing' of the world system lies IMHO in the fraudulent money systems. And so I give a hearty THANK YOU and toast to Mr Burt Blumert for his works and sacrifices in the cause of Liberty and Freedom for mankind. We're all part of the motion of change in a sea of changeability. I pray that more of us realize this essential truth. William R.I.P. dear Burt.

Thank You Burt, for shining a light on liberty. Thank you from my wife and sons, for helping to protect my family in these troubled times.

Though I was never able to meet him in person and thank him, Burt Blumert sold me my first gold coins in 2002, and patiently explained this clueless young man the value of sound money. I read many of his articles on LewRockwell.com and later the Mises institute and was completely enthralled with the words of the great men who inspired me to light my own personal torch of liberty. Before Burt, Lew, Ron Paul, and the writings of Von Mises and Murray Rothbard. I thought I was alone in the world. I thought that I was strange for turning my back on the mainstream thinking process of my friends and family. These men showed me that not only was I not alone, but that what I felt, was not only correct, but moral and logical and good. I have passionately followed these men as well as all of the I am very sad to hear of Burts passing.

He didn't trust the Libertarian state parties to always do the paperwork properly, so he had me telephone all the states in August 1988 to check up. Then, he generously gave me a 1904 $20 gold coin. It was the only time I ever had any contact with the coin world, and I loved him for that gift. Burt played a big role in Ron Paul’s 1988 run for president as the Libertarian nominee.
