yeah i know it's just losing the receivership, but hadn't their record been pretty impeccable up until then?

The FTC loses motions, and indeed cases, fairly often. They're currently taking a beating in their case against a "dietary supplement" company called Basic Research, for example, and they've been kicked back on cases against a bunch of other fine purveyors of supplements that are in no respect snake oil.

Since ya'll like sov citizens so much, this guy is offering lots of tips on the secrets of ~common law~ that could get ross off the hook

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=149737

quote:

It is the ignorance of the people regarding common law that allows government to do this. Essentially, it is so simple. In court, none of the code or law applies to me, a man, unless there is a verified (sworn statement) by a human being who proves that I was the one who harmed or damaged him. Look at the websites in the above ^^ post.

quote:

quote:

Do you have actual experience in the legal system, or are you just spouting theories?
I have several lawyers in my family... And from what they tell me, anything is possible.
It's really up to the judges and juries.
Very little conclusive personal experience.

Not theories.

Jury is the final authority. If the jury is informed, jury nullification overrules all.

We had no taxes on much of anything before 1936. Now we have all kinds of taxes. People forgot how to use common law to nullify corporate attacks against them, attacks without a human being verifying something, under oath or affirmation, on the stand, with personal knowledge. Instead, we have let the attorneys take over.

There are many people all over the place who are using the law on a small scale to overcome government trampling on human rights. Three places that I have been studying are:
http://1215.org/ - Bill Thornton's work regarding what we are not being taught about common law anymore;
http://www.broadmind.org/ - Karl Lentz, who has taken his own experience and bill Thornton's info, and turned it into a simplified, practical approach;
http://www.johngliha.com/ - To a small extent, the work of John Gliha and the people who trained him back in the mid '90s.

All three of these guys have had their losses and their wins. It has taken this to perfect their use of the law. Get your family lawyers to study their stuff while it is still around. It is my belief that if 5% to 10% of the adult population in the U.S. started to use this stuff, the whole government and banking system would turn around. This might even be part of the stuff that crashes the fiat system in the near future.

Thank goodness that I am an idiot. That way, when they take me to court because I can't pay my bills because of the Bitcoin drop, they can't hold me to anything, because they can't harm idiots. I can fall back on common law and require to face my accuser, him/her/it on the stand. Since "they" are a corporation, they can't get on the stand and answer my questions. I win.

God I love young girls
so now that ulbritch is implying that karpeles was the one that ordered the hits, how long do you think it will take bitcoines to backpedal on the "the murder for hire charges are fake! non violent exchange!" bs? seeing as how now it's the great satan that ordered the hits... I'm suspecting they will suddenly and inexplicably find the charges completely plausible.

Government promotes an EMP attack that would be devastating. How? Except if you live in a sparsely populated area, they won't let your neighborhood get together and purchase a Kabota diesel (very efficient) and provide electricity for your whole neighborhood.

Government DOES want to keep us under their thumb... so THEY can rape and plunder us with power company ripoff, using fear of EMP, while they don't let us do anything about it.

There is a difference between 'crimes' and 'code violations', you see

quote:

quote:

They caught the dude swith his laptop open signed in as administrator. He was facilitating the sale of drugs online and not paying taxes on his earnings.

Last time I checked those are serious crimes.

He knew what he was doing and took the risk anyway.

Don't cry for him.
They are not crimes. People might call them crimes, but they are not.

They are code violations. Unless he is employed by government, or unless he is a government official, or unless he has signed a contract with government to not do what he did, he is not liable for code violations.

Nobody is liable for code violations without a contract. People are only liable for "wrongdoing," which is harming someone or damaging his property. The reason government wins in cases like this is, few people stand up as a man/woman and require their rights.

if only ross knew this sooner!

a/k/a "Dread Pirate Roberts,"
a/k/a "DPR,"
a/k/a "Silk Road,"

Defendant.

In court...

Judge: How do you plead?

Ross: I require pen and paper, and leave of court for 5 minutes to prepare my answer.

Judge: Granted.


NOTICE TO THE COURT

Firstly: i, a man, ross william ulbright, am not represented, do not represent myself, am present.

Secondly: If any man/woman claim wrongdoing angainst me, i wish, order and demand that man/woman present and verify his/her claim against me in open court of record.

Thirdly: If no man/woman verify claim against me, and/or;

Fourthly: if verified claim is not attached to me, then;

Fifthly: i require return of my property, and;

Sixthly: i require payment to me in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in repayment for enslavement and involuntary servitude, by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Seventhly: i, say here, and will verify in open court, that all herein be true.


SIGNED
DATED


The attorney for the United States is sworn in and takes the stand.

Ross: Are you UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

Attorney: No. I have been authorized by the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to present the case before you.

Ross: Do you have a claim of wrongdoing that I did against you, that you will verify here today in open court?

Attorney: No. I am here to present complaints by the UNITED STATES...

Ross to the judge: Your honor, since this attorney is not the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA as attested to by his own testimony, and since he (she) has claimed by testimony that i have done no wrong to him(her), i wish require this attorney to step down from the stand.

[The attorney steps down.]

Ross: As stated in my NOTICE TO THE COURT, "If any man/woman claim wrongdoing angainst me, i wish, order and demand that man/woman present and verify his/her claim against me in open court of record."

[Nobody takes the stand]

Ross: As stated in my NOTICE TO THE COURT, "i require return of my property. i require payment to me in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in repayment for enslavement and involuntary servitude, by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.


Obviously things wouldn't go quite as smoothly as this, but with the help of Karl Lentz at http://www.broadmind.org/ this process can have Ross done and out of court very rapidly, with return of freedom, and return of his property.

If the courts fail to follow their own rules, Karl will have Ross earning a lot more than $2,000,000 off them. Somebody needs to slip Ross a note telling him that he is being screwed by his attorneys, and that he should contact Karl. Karl is a free man, so nobody knows for sure what he might do. But there's a good chance Karl would love this opportunity, and if he does, he will charge only a token fee for his services, far less than any attorneys, yet having far greater success.

Re: Does Bitcoin have AIDS? posted:

It can be cured just like it is being cured. Stop using Bitcoin until the miners learn to live off what they get. Supply and demand. If people stop using Bitcoin, miners will stop mining, small folk will get into mining the old way because the difficulty will fall, and things will be like they used to be. Then it will start all over again.

Does Bitcoin have AIDS? No. Only BANDAIDS, until it heals itself.
