What Deep Web’s Director Learned Investigating Silk Road

Leave a reply

Silk Road Was Just Another Tech Company

Outside of the tech press, Winter notes, a lot of the media coverage on the Silk Road has been “drugs and guns and hitmen—just wildly off-base.” Off-base, he says, because when he started interviewing the people who knew Silk Road he didn’t see an outfit that was all that different from those littering Silicon Valley. “I started to meet all these core architects within the Silk Road: vendors, engineers, sellers, administrators, people who were helping with scaling,” he says. “It’s obvious in retrospect but it was just like any large tech company. But it was just not represented that way in the media, so even I was caught off-guard.”

Do Cops Want Us Armed ? Chicago Police Sergeant Tells All WeaponsEducation

FK – So does Commienoise and chicawgo now recognize ccws from other states? I don’t think so. Is it a felony there or a misdemeanor? It might be a ‘big deal’ depending on which cop asks the questions.

If the police want our respect overall they need to stop enforcing the police state, to include the drug war, which is largely the reason for all the crime in urban areas.

We’re still a long long way from where we need to be, on many fronts, in this multi-front war. When the blood letting starts, it might not be over the Second Amendment. We exist in perilous times, in a very dark age.

Settlement Won’t Even Cover Medical Bills For Baby Whose Face Was Blown Apart By Police Grenade…

Leave a reply

Habersham County, GA–  In May of last year, Bounkham “Baby Bou Bou” Phonesavanh, 19-months-old, was asleep in his crib. At 3:00 am militarized police barged into his family’s home because an informant had purchased $50 worth of meth from someone who once lived there. During the raid, a flash-bang grenade was thrown into the sleeping baby’s crib, exploding in his face.

Beyond the disfiguring wounds on the toddler’s face, the grenade also left a gash in his chest. As a result, Bou lost the ability to breathe on his own and was left in a medically induced coma for days after the incident.  Bou was not able to go home from the hospital until July.

No officers were charged for their near-deadly negligence, and the department claimed that they did not know that there were children in the home.  They defended their reckless actions by saying that they couldn’t have done a thorough investigation prior to the raid because it “would have risked revealing that the officers were watching the house.”

Now, a nearly $1 million dollar settlement has been reached between the family and the county.  One of the terms of the settlement is that the family may not sue individuals involved in maiming their son. Instead of coming from the wallets of the negligent officers, it will come strictly from the taxpayers.

FK – The shysters involved in these ‘settlements’ should be paying out of pocket for the difference. The insane ‘war on drugs’ and ‘war on terror’ must end and real safeguards installed for the use of these SWAT Nazis. We must gain control of how these Jr. Nazs are educated/indoctrinated. They must learn to put the Bill of Rights first.

But I fear we will be forced to do what will be required before that happens. Our governments and ‘just-us’ systems are just too far gone.

Two CIA agents arrested by minutemen while crossing Mexican border with 1300 pounds of cocaine

Leave a reply

A group of minutemen watching the Mexican Border for illegal migrants and drug traffickers, have proceeded to the citizen arrest of two men in an SUV, carrying 1300 pounds of cocaine. The volunteers were completely astonished when the two arrestees pulled out CIA ID cards and explained they were actually carrying the drug as part of their duties and that the cargo belonged to the Central Intelligence Agency.

The incident took place last night, in the Chihuahuan desert, near the Texan city of El Paso. A group of seven minutemen saw a large black SUV drive rapidly across the border. They chased the vehicle in their own trucks and achieved to immobilize it after a chase of more than 15 miles.

The vigilantes arrested the two men on board and called the border patrol, who proceeded to search the vehicle. They discovered dozens of packages of cocaine, totalling an incredible 618.4 kilograms (1363 pounds).

FK – Another reason we need a militia in every county of this country.

What is Hemp?

Leave a reply

There is an urban legend that the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence were written on hemp paper. This is not true. The documents housed in the National Archives were written on parchment, which is treated animal skin, typically sheepskin. According to the Library of Congress, analysis by paper conservators has determined that the paper that Thomas Jefferson used for his draft of the Declaration is mostly likely Dutch in origin. While hemp was commonly used to make paper in Southern Europe during this time, the Dutch were much more likely to use flax or linen rags.

Restriction in the United States began in 1937, according to the Hemp Industries Association. Taxing and licensing regulations made it hard for farmers to grow hemp.

During World War II, the lack of available abaca and jute prompted the government to start pro-hemp farming campaigns, including a video called “Hemp for Victory,” to meet the Navy’s demand for rope. Hemp demand fell after WWII and government restriction on the plant resumed.

BOMBSHELL: Congressman Proposes Bill to Ban Laws with the Purpose of Generating Revenue

Leave a reply

Announcing the introduction of the Fair Justice Act, Congressman Cleaver stated,

“The time has come to end the practice of using law enforcement as a cash register, a practice that has impacted too many Americans and has disproportionately affected minority and low-income communities. No American should have to face arbitrary police enforcement, the sole purpose of which is to raise revenue for a town, city, or state.”

While many people may not see it as such, this congressman’s bold move, if passed, would eliminate most police work.

As the Free Thought Project reported Monday, the fact that police act primarily as revenue collection agents for the state, has become quite apparent.

Since there is no money in solving murders or preventing rapes, police departments in America have focused their duties on traffic citations and the drug war. Both of these venues are highly profitable for departments.

City and state governments have become so addicted to these revenue streams that we are now seeing full-on military raids on people in fruitless attempts to find drugs and money. Along with the drug raids, we are seeing police officers forced to collect a certain amount of revenue through traffic enforcement, or risk losing their jobs.

Cops are actually being disciplined on a large scale as they blow the whistle on their revenue addicted department heads who force them to write tickets or face consequences.

FK – Sounds like an idea whose time will soon come…

The ‘drug war’ exists because all the ‘right people’ make money from it:

DEA Agent Speaks Out: We Were Told Not to Enforce Drug Laws In Rich Communities

 

Utah hears of danger of dope-crazed rabbits if marijuana legalised

Leave a reply

Legalising medical marijuana in Utah could lead to absent-minded rabbits and other animals who don’t feel their natural instincts, a special agent for the DEA has warned the state.

In testimony last week before the Utah state senate, and first spotted by the Washington Post, special agent Matt Fairbanks expressed “some severe concerns” about marijuana as a cash crop. “Now I deal in facts. I deal in science,” he said, citing his experience ranging Utah’s mountains as a member of the state’s “marijuana eradication” team to bolster his concerns.

“Deforestation has left marijuana grows with even rabbits that had cultivated a taste for the marijuana,” Fairbanks declared, suggesting that hares were yet one more of an unknown number of species to have succumbed to a cannabis addiction.

Leporine marijuana abuse was so severe, Fairbanks said, that “one of them refused to leave us, and we took all the marijuana around him, but his natural instincts to run were somehow gone.”

“Personally, I have seen entire mountainsides subjected to pesticides, harmful chemicals, deforestation and erosion,” he added. “The ramifications to the flora, the animal life, the contaminated water are still unknown.”

FK – That guy should look into becoming a fiction writer. The problem is they’ll make less money protecting the rabbits than they do looking for pot in the woods. The ‘drug war’ exists because all the ‘right’ people on all sides profit from it.

Holder Announces Changes to Asset Forfeiture Program

Leave a reply

Under new rules announced Friday, federal agencies will no longer be able to accept or “adopt” assets seized by local and state law enforcement agencies — unless the property includes firearms, ammunitions, explosives, child pornography or other materials concerning public safety. Holder described the new policy as the “first step in a comprehensive review.”

The new policy does not affect asset seizures made under joint state and federal operations, and local law enforcement may still seize property under state laws.

The program was developed at a time when most states didn’t have their own asset forfeiture laws and did not have legal authority to forfeit seized items, raising concerns that seized property might ultimately return to the hands of criminals. But Holder said all states now have civil or criminal asset forfeiture law, so it’s no longer as necessary for local law enforcement to turn over seized property to federal agencies.
