In a speech I just gave at Freedom Fest, I reveal the conditions I went through in federal prison. You need to know what's being done in your name behind locked doors.

Hi Ross, currently "detainees", including men, women and children are being held without due process across the country in conditions that many report to be inhumane, with irregular access to food, water, medicine, and are frequently not allowed to speak to loved ones or counsel.
Do you feel a common cause with those people?
🔥🔥💜💜
What's your stance towards Monero?
Are you utilising it?
👀
Yet US has one of the highest reoffending rates at 80%. Norway has lowest at 20%, rather than "punish" they rehabilitate. With such vast numbers reoffending it's arguably a national security issue. Taking up the mantle to push prison reform now you are free would be a VERY worthy cause. Ive no idea where libertarian party is on that issue, but inmates also have rights to liberty.
👏🫂🐐

Meanwhile Columbia students forced into exile over Palestine activism.

Freedom for some and not for others is not freedom.
Trump pardoned you because he was payed by the crypto bros. Nothing to do with freedom. Its bribery and corruption. Trump would equally deport you if it benefited him.
No regrets apparently. Why don't he return home to is country of origin? If you're not happy or agree with the way a foreign country works, you have to leave and return home where you can do as you please.
Yeah
It is extremely suspicious that Trump pardoned him, like makes it difficult to trust anything he says.
Considering that Trump is a zionist pedophile with a history of raping kids.
Like what the fuck how can anyone trust someone who was pardoned by a pedophile.
Trump would have let you rot if it wasn't for all the pressure we put on him...
You shouldn't be praising Trump.
Trump didn't pardon you believe he loves freedom, Trump clearly hates freedom.
Look at everything else he has done and is doing.
Regarding food on prison always choose the halal/kosher food option.
I was a vegetarian when I got locked up, the vegetarian food in prison was a joke. Unseasoned and low protein.
The non halal/kosher meat would cause serious stomach upsets for a lot of people.
Not being allowed to have sex is not really eugenics.
USA was actually built on eugenics, Adolf Hitler was "inspired" by the American system.
The whole idea for the holocaust was based on how USA exterminated the indigenous people and restricted immigration based on eugenics
You're completely right anyhow they treat the female prisoners, the prison I was at was unisex, we were segregated from the women but being diabetic I was taken to the med bay for insulin a few times a day.
I lost count of how many times they walked me past a female inmate actively being abused by male guards.
Honestly that was the worst part.
Being totally powerless to help the people being abused.
I still feel guilty that I didn't try to intervene.
The actual reason for prison is to maintain control over society through fear and give corporations access to cheap labour.
Ross was locked in maxo the entire time so he never got a taste of the forced labour, but shit once you get to minimum security all you do is work work work for cents an hour.
If prison was about keeping violent dangerous people seperate from society almost every police officer would be in prison while 90% of the people in prison wouldn't be there.
Take 20min of your time and listen to Ross!
If you care about freedom you should care about Prison.

Your speeches are always very interesting and emotionally engaging. Unfortunately, this is what most men tend to do when they can exert power over others—I doubt we can change that. The only way to protect oneself from it seems to be by gaining more power, which may be selfish. But unlike you, I believe humans are fundamentally barbaric—only superficially civilized by protocols engineered by a few enlightened individuals among us.
What s up?
Don’t think Americans can be treated the same way as others. Their culture is unique
I don’t believe that the system is set-up to function like this. Sounds more like corruption of a system.. Do those that behave experience the same oppression?
you’re totally right @Ross Ulbricht
i understand and i know
as i said

You were living in future. Your ideal was same as Jack's one, but you didn't have AI, MCP server or other system which could find illegal accounts and posts automatically.
Don't misuse someone's dream.

Very moving speech Ross, thank you for sharing 💜
a good start would be not running an online drug market in the first place
They're mostly broken humans, who need fixing. Its no benefit to the inmate or society as a whole the punitive approach. Having freedom of movement restricted is punishment enough, rest should be fixing them so they don't cause further harm when released.
There is an overwhelming body of research to the contrary. Just find countries with lower reoffending rates and compare/contrast their prison systems.
Well if you think you should obey the state then perhaps you should divest from bitcoin.
Amazing and so touching speech!

He was freed by finding himself on a favorable side of partisan favoritism.
While it is excellent news that he was freed, he should have been set free because it was the correct, merciful, and humane thing to do, not because of political connections to a party personality who enjoys inflicting terror upon the most vulnerable for sport.
This is why we should all stop paying taxes
