Published

The suspected mastermind of the underground website Silk Road has been convicted of creating a multi-million dollar online marketplace for illegal drugs.

A federal jury in New York took under a day to find Ross Ulbricht, 30, guilty on all seven counts following investigations into use of the digital currency bitcoin to commit crimes.

His mother claimed the defence had been hindered in arguing he had been framed.

    And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
    Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.  Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?  But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
    Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
    Matthew 15:10-14, kjv….
    My thoughts :
    Umm, if it is medicine, than kosher dietary laws do not apply, do they?
    I mean, would a rabbi say, What is in this pill? Pork?  But if you see food,
    then, … yes, … the sedar plate must be set so… and do not commit gluttony.
    Ooh… Pastrami…

    Well, that's sad.  I myself, do not "do drugs", and consider it "stupid",
    a "waste of money" and "potentially dangerous", not "worth the high"…
    I feel the same way about rock-climbing…. BUT, persons should have the
    right to decide for themselves what they wish to put into their own bodies,
    and the STATE should not be entitled to interfere with that choice…
    ….
    More, and more, the earthly realm, the worldly governments, look increasingly
    like Sodom – a place where "they" desired to KNOW you, especially if you
    were male … "So, do you like drugs?"…. What possible rationale do these
    people (the DHS, they who wrote the USA Patriot Act, or created "War on Drugs")
    have for investigating persons… and what they desire to "consume", put into
    their own bodies?…. My guess, they wish to ensure that the workers remain
    productive, … their ultimate desire is to control (ownership implies control) the
    citizenry (the drones)…. It is not about "money" as in dollars and cents, but slavery…
    and when a slave race is established, there will be little need for money… orders
    will be given… products and services rationed…. there will be control…
    ….
    You want to know why there is soo much violence associated with the drug trade?
    It is because drugs, such as cocaine, are basically, commodities… and the only
    way to ensure profits, is through franchise operations… where territories are assigned…
    but because the drug trade is illegal, the police and the courts will not protect
    a franchisee's rights to territorial protection, the way the owner-operator of a
    McDonald's, or Starbucks, or SubWay franchise can be reasonably assured
    another will not open up shop on the same street corner… and so, in lieu of
    legal solutions, drug dealers, turn to "cappos", soldiers with guns – a private army,
    or security service, to enforce those territorial rights, or claims…. Make that "stuff"
    legal, and the violence goes away… Moreover, no business person desires to see
    a customer die on them… for they desire repeat business.
    …
    This guy had a powerful franchise, a great trademark…. was making money,
    peaceably…. "blacks" were not getting killed… and "lazy workers" not dying….
    So, "they" (DHS) shut him down…. That, is how I see it.
    …
    That said, Don't do "drugs"…. The occasional Tylenol, or Aspirin is OK ("safe")
    though, I think.

    I hope he rots in prison.  Many say "wars are funded on drug money"  That's wrong too.  He knew what he was doing, he was making money off the illegal drugs trade.  He will make some very special friends in the prison showers.

    55 seconds: ' They have the ability to identify who is using websites and who is using email addresses and hold those people responsible'. USA is officially a totalitarian police state, where all freedoms have been taken away from the people.

    USA is also guilty for producing and profiting from opium in Afghanistan.
