Topic: Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life in Prison - page 6. (Read 50097 times)

It was designed for drugs from minute one. That's not to say he deserved such an insane sentence though.

Definitely. They can do what they want. But I think that the silk road has helped everyone that used it, IN A BAD WAY. He deserves this, so i'm kind of glad that this happened.

More people need to honor their man/woman responsibilities by paying taxes no longer, lawfully. If enough people did this, government would dry up and blow away.

Somebody pushed an amendment through for government. So now, we see the real reason that we are fighting all over the world, and why we have garrisons in over a hundred countries. We just said that we can tax everything and everybody. So, now we can do it... because we made an amendment out of it.

Wake up and see the power of the people. The 9th Amendment still stands. We the people have the right to throw off the whole government if we want, based on the 9th Amendment if nothing else.

You want to keep slavery for yourself? Go right ahead and keep it and remain in it. You're call. But only for you.

Why did he deserve life in prison? From what I can remember, he didn't mean for Silk Road to be for illegal things, it just turned out like that, like Bitcoin... kind of.

Even for manslaughter, you don't get life inprisonment...

I agree.  More people need to honor their civic responsibilities and get out to vote.  But that doesn't change the fact that the laws we are forced to abide by are not subject to individual consensus.  The "people" didn't get to vote on whether or not to bail out the banking industry, congress did!  And when the voters pick up their ballots to vote for their representatives, their choices are candidate A (backed by big banks) or candidate B (backed by big banks) so whose agenda is going to be upheld in congress?  Hitting the streets in protest is where the people get heard....not in congress.  Ross got hung out to dry because he was interfering with the established economic system....pure and simple....while the big banks get paid with tax payer money, in the form of government bailouts, to steal people's homes.

That amendment did not create any new powers of taxation. You are just repeating the myth, you did not question or research anything. How do you know that the tax apples to people unless you ask?? How do you know that the courts have authority over living people unless you ask? You have to change your level of thinking and start asking questions.

In couple of years someone will help him to get out of jail. I bet that he hold thousands of bitcoins in brainwallet se if price hit 5k-10k he will be one of richest guy. no way he will stay in prison

BADecker doesn't really understand how the legal system works or any American history. I love seeing kooks on the web that refuse to pay taxes because that proves they don't understand the legal system and can't read plain English.

U.S. Constitution, amendment XVI

It's ok to question authority because that allows us to reveal bad actors in the system. But when you question and find they are correct you stop questioning and accept the outcome.

They could charge you with contempt, but you can just purge yourself of that contempt.
I really dare you to ask your local courts about whether OR NOT they have EVER addressed a living, breathing American. Ask the tax authorities if YOU, a living, breathing American is liable to pay the tax.
You should be experimenting too, if it is a real DARE. Why don't you try some of this yourself? Go and get a declaratory judgment stating that the court's decisions are binding upon living beings and people.
What? You are too lazy to ask questions? Too fearful? Not sure what you'd do with THAT knowledge?
Most people will spend their whole lives defending their ignorance and will neglect to QUESTION AUTHORITY.
Why is that? You are daring BADecker to question authority, but why don't you try it for yourself?

I really dare you  to try this stuff out in court someday, - best case outcome you get held in contempt before sentencing, worst case a judge angry at your shenanigans hands down a harsher sentence

If science doesn't find a way to extend life, it will probably be over for you within 100 years from the time of your birth, like it has for most people over the last 2,000 years.

Ross's crime is nothing when compared with the crime of certain members of the government who acted criminally against Ross.

Government is allowed by the Constitution to make all and any laws that they want. Yet, by that same Constitution, in the 9th Amendment, none of those laws apply to people unless there is harm or damage done. Why? Because it was the harm or damage issue that was the thing that was around before the Constitution, and the 9th Amendment alludes to this. Government success only hangs on the point that Ross didn't know how to defend himself. And an attorney's first allegiance is to the court, not his client.

There are 4 requirements of the court in order to make a judgement that is not a void judgment from its inception. These are:
1. There must be real harm or damage done to the plaintiff or his property.
2. The plaintiff must get on the stand under oath or affirmation, and speak into the record the evident harm or property damages that were done to him. He must also state the way(s) in which the accused did this harm or damage.
3. There must be at least one witness who states the same things that the plaintiff does, under oath or affirmation, from the stand.
4. There must be clear, irrefutable, untampered-with evidence that corroborates the plaintiff and the witness.

One of the best websites that show you the basic requirements that government has, and the court cases to back it all up, is http://voidjudgments.com/. If Ross doesn't use the rich info found on this site, he loses. If he does use it, government not only loses, but also, government pays Ross for harm and damage done to him by government, including the return of all his property.

I've been hearing that "America is over" shit for about 40 years now, since the gas shortage in the 70's. It seems to be taking about as long as it's taken for Jesus to return to earth. So, I guess we have another couple of thousand years to go.

It hurts your itty bitty feelings, does it? It is about time that you wake up to the fact that America is on the edge of going down the tubes because people won't stand up for individual rights against the criminal element in government. To see what I mean, Google "police brutality."

It is hard to put the blame on Ross for anything. The little he might have disturbed standard banking criminality, was essentially nil. Yet, that is the exact thing he is being crucified for. They are using the excuse that he was harming people, though they have yet to cough up even one harmed person.

It is time to take the banking/government industry down, and uphold freedom, so that people can use things like the Silkroad openly, and know what they are getting into because of the openness.

Apples vs oranges Bruno. It's hard to put blame on a single individual for a worldwide economic recession. lol

Stop posting links to your crazy sovereign citizen garbage everywhere, none of it is based in reality

For a second there I thought bank fraud to the tune of hundreds of billions was considered a crime against society. Thanks for enlightened me.

Leroy Fodor and I are gonna start a GoFundMe page to amass moneys so to purchase Christmas presents for all them bankers wrongfully imprisoned for supposedly causing the 2008 financial crisis. HAHAHA

He looks stoned in the video. lol  Being a militia member, clogging the court system, violent and nonviolent protesting, voting are all just different ways to try and change the government. All of these can work with enough support from like minded people.

That's what's really necessary for change, a majority of people that agree with you and your viewpoint. That's why Christian morality has controlled our government for centuries. They are in the voting majority. If you can make another group the majority then the government will change.

Politicians do vote the way their constituents want them to most of the time because they want to keep their jobs. I have enough money to relocate to just about anywhere in the world I want to but stay because, for the most part, I still like the way this country operates. I don't want drugs to be easily available because kids make a lot of stupid decisions (my kids have) and I don't want them to legally make a decision that ruins their life before it really begins. If that means I can't walk down the street smoking a joint if I want to then I'm ok with that.
