Ross Ulbricht’s release was a deal with the Libertarians for their endorsement. Silk Road did not offer weapons and he did not hire a criminal to murder anyone. The FBI staged the whole thing. They forced his old roommate to pose as a murder victim. He later appoligized. A pretty messy affair and Ulbricht’s release is justified. Even though Trump only did it to gain Libertarian votes.
Yup, that’s what it is all about. Divide and conquer. The consolidation of capitalism is happening globally. We are more than them. The only way for them to keep their stolen riches, is to put a wedge between everyone. Imho there is nothing more ridiculous and self harming than nationalism, classism and all of the other -isms.
