Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life in Prison

Wired reports. In her lecture to the latest high-profile American political prisoner, Judge Katherine Forrest said "Silk Road's birth and presence asserted that its ... creator was better than the laws of this country." Well, yes, he and it were and are better than The Preet Bharara crime family, its rules, and her theatrics, if those three things are what she means by "this country."

A relevant voice from the grave:

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood. I had as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done.

That, with its atttendant pyramids of skulls, is what Bharara, Forrest and their co-conspirators are willing to risk in their bid to keep their authoritarian rackets going at the expense of every honest human being.

Yes, sooner or later they're going to lose. But it won't be pretty.
