In this video, I sit down with Lyn Ulbricht, mother of Ross Ulbricht, a man thrown in prison for a lifetime for simply creating a platform for people to freely trade goods for services, protect themselves from massive government surveillance and spread information. The Silk Road was a truly free market initiative started by a libertarian with a big heart.
While the state claims that Ross created the platform for drug dealing the sale of illicit videos which is simply not the case, the people who actually sold drugs on the Silk Road got a few years at the most. Ross got an entire lifetime in prison.
This is kind of like imprisoning Alexander Graham Bell because people used telephones to conspire to commit crimes.
Or imprison all of those complicit in the founding of the internet because people have committed crimes over the internet.
Or imprison gun manufacturers because some moron killed someone using a gun.
Ross has sacrificed everything for us and it's time we start sacrificing a few things to save him from being thrown in a cage. Lyn, his mother has been standing up and speaking loudly for a long time now and she's started initiatives to get Ross freed. One of those would be the Free Ross campaign. You can find "Free Ross" on Facebook as well as FreeRoss.org as well.
This man needs to be freed and the massive amount of assets seized from him (Bitcoin especially) should be returned immediately! Most of all, he needs to be freed from prison!
