When Silk Road was shut down and the site’s owner, Ross Ulbricht, was convicted of mostly drug-related crimes, there were debates about how much jail time he should receive. When he was given a life sentence, many considered it to be overboard considered he was a non-violent criminal.
But at the time of his 2013 arrest, the “war on drugs” was more popular than it is today. Libertarians in particular have been calling for Ulbricht’s release. During the Libertarian National Convention, President Donald Trump promised to commute Ulbricht’s sentence, saying that over a decade in prison was enough.
On Sunday, Ulbricht responded via proxies who control his Twitter account.
Last night, Donald Trump pledged to commute my sentence on day 1, if reelected. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
After 11 years in prison, it is hard to express how I feel at this moment. It is thanks to your undying support that I may get a second chance.

Silk Road was a darknet market website that allowed illicit use for the distribution of narcotics and other illegal items. Few outside those with anarchistic ideologies believe he shouldn’t have been convicted, but a life sentence without the possibility for parole is considered by many to be a symbolic move by the Obama Justice Department to dissuade future darknet enterprises.
Considering child rapists generally get far shorter sentences, putting Ulbricht behind bars for the remainder of his life seemed harsh. He was 29-years-old when arrested.
Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
