Drug-busting authorities “lied” about Tor weakness, devs claim — Tech News and Analysis

Drug-busting authorities “lied” about Tor weakness, devs claim — Tech News and Analysis  Here we see how desperate the anti drug nazis are and how ,in the end.The only way police ever make any arrests is when someone makes a mistake and then takes down as many "friends" as they have to to survive.By survive I do mean slither out from under by throwing others under the bus.As a person with more bus tire tracks on his back than most.I can say without a doubt that I was never arrested by good,solid police work.Unless you think squeezing a coward for names to bury in their place is police work.The police think it is.Tor wasn't defeated.It is as safe today as it ever was.The anti drug nazis simply did what they always do.They made a creep sell out as many people as he had to to get the narcs off his case.He will probably spend the remainder of his miserable life making anti drug videos and trying to sell his miserable story to hollywood.I was very sorry to hear of the demise of silk road 2.That was until I learned the facts about what happened.If you have any plans to create a world wide drug network to service a market that is so miserably under served,by all means do so.Just don't do it in America,where the government can threaten to take away your entire life and mean it.Don't do it in some backwater that has even harsher penalties for selling a marketable product that a lot of people want.Go to a country with sane drug policies and where they cannot make the kind of threats that you can't handle.You may end up doing a little time.But only if you make a mistake and expose yourself.Most countries aren't as psychotic as some others.In civilized countries,if you are savvy enough to use the net to get what you want,they won't spend millions to try to get to you.In countries like the USA,where prohibition was born,it's a religion.An ideology.It's a poison and a blight on free thinking people.I was an attendant at the Vienna drug convention held in Vancouver,BC.Day one was a collusion of US drug fanatics along with the very few others that are hysterical on the drug situation.Day two was the rest of the world telling those fanatics that he world will be better off with their demise.The eventual final conference in Vienna was a confirmation that the drug war was a mistake and a tragedy.That it's entire approach was flawed and a monumental failure.Ever since that conference we have seen the forces of prohibition doubling down on their policies.While in some countries,most notably Portugal,the pursuit of drug addicts and users has ended forever.They have been witness to a lowering of usage and of increases in addiction that once seemed unstoppable.It seems that drugs,like all vices,are best left to those that are fond of them.The spread of these vices due to the commercialization of their use is a far greater problem than the substances themselves.That commercialization is increased by the prohibition and the following increase in their value.The more the police spend on cracking down,the greater the problems that arise.The more violence used in trying to intercede the more violent the criminals that traffic.The internet has to be the best possible way to connect the people in source countries,mostly poverty stricken places,with the customers.It's the best way to put the dollars in the hands of the people that need it the most.It would eliminate the need for policing and it would strip the criminal element of billions in income.Of course that's the last thing those in power want.They want their systems to continue to spread misery,poverty and addiction on their rules.The lest positive and most punitive method ever devised.That's the system we live under right now.It's the worst possible way of dealing with what has always been a minor irritant.Up until the current prohibition,which has caused everything to degrade into the lowest possible denominator.Our current drug laws.

Vancouver and BC college introduce poison in the guise of methadone treatment

In the latter part of 2013,I was informed that there would be the possibility of switching my methadone from 2 mgms per ml to 10 mgms per ml.I was taking 210 mgms daily for pain and drinking all that foul tasting liquid was unpleasant.It was soon after that I read that everyone was going to be forced onto the new,"methadose" formula of the drug.My first question was would I be able to remain on the 2 mgm per mil and I was told I could.I was eventually conned into trying the new formula under the promise that I could switch back.Within a month I asked to go back due to headaches.Instead I was put on the clear formula and told it was injectable.I was also told not to inject but.It turns out there is a big warning on the information packet saying DO NOT INJECT.I found out why when I woke up very sick one morning(the new formula will vanish without warning).I tried injecting and after hearing a loud ripping noise,i found the drug neutralized and the leg infected.I was very angry and took it to my doctor,blaming her for the infection.She not only refused to accept blame,she said I was no longer a pain patient and was once again an addict.I then found out that being an addict meant I was unable to go back on the old formula.It also meant I paid more for the drug and that the clinic could once again apply for fees.Fees had ended when I turned 65.I believe I was set up,as a 45 year injection drug user,to fail so the clinic could try to collect fees.I have no idea if they were successful but it was the only way for them to try.The new formula is obviously diluted with an antagonist and an irritant.It could be one substance but whatever it is it is causing more than 50% of the users to come down with side effects that range from uncomfortable to unbearable.The college of P&S and someone in the BC government took a huge payoff to change over.That cash is paid.Now that so many are complaining,the heroin disappears from Vancouver's streets?There is Fentanyl,everywhere,but no heroin?Am I paranoid,yes.Do I smell a big government rat,certainly.All I want Is out of BC.I was born here and have lived here all my life but I no longer feel able to live here.Anyone who has any idea where I can get proper pain mediation,please contact me.My e mail is available on my google account.

Afghan ‘kill list’ leak: NATO risked civilian lives by targeting low-level Taliban fighters — RT News

Afghan ‘kill list’ leak: NATO risked civilian lives by targeting low-level Taliban fighters — RT News  The article makes the case that Americans have joined the war on terror with the war on drugs by claiming that the Taliban makes 300 million in revenue from the distribution of opium.The article says nothing about the 40 times increase in opium production under NATO?The opium trade is counted in the billions.Afghanistan is said to make 2 billion from opium,which is also their entire gdp.The CIA has been paying for their black ops with narcotic money ever since Air America and Iran/Contra.They are certainly back in the heroin business.This time,they have taken some pains to try to direct that trade towards their enemies,Iran and Russia.Both those countries are experiencing record addiction and there is of course some spill off into the scandinavian countries and west from there.Heroin,the number one product of opium traffickers,is at record purity and abundance all over the world.Yet here,in Vancouver,BC,where heroin has traditionally been a huge problem.There is not so much as an iota of heroin on the streets?The only heroin here is being supplied at a down town clinic by doctors.Addicts on the street have been getting by on Fentanyl,a big pharma drug that Does Not increase dopamine and is therefore a very poor substitute.That local addicts have been buying Fentanyl without being able to even distinguish the difference is probably part of some kind of conspiracy.Whether or not it's simple gangster greed or is governmental is unknown.It did coincide with the switching of the methadone from pure methadone hydrochloride to a concoction of methadone cut with an antagonist and an irritant that causes infection when injected.What does all this have to do with Afghan death lists?It just shows how the people in power will do anything to get what they want.They don't care who gets hurt.How many become addicted.What those people become addicted to.They certainly don't care what their plans and schemes do to other countries,populations and of course,no one cares about what they do to addicts.The current methadose form of methadone is having disastrous affects on local addicts to the tune of over 50%.I have constant headaches and throw up if I take over 200 mgms.My wife scratches her skin raw.We are not the exception but the norm.

Metro - No end in sight for Occupy Vancouver

Metro - No end in sight for Occupy Vancouver These people get props for endurance.I'll bet the Mr.Conservative folks that are spitting and cursing at them wouldn't last a night.It's been cold and wet for an awful lot of this protest but the protesters are determined to stay for the long haul.People might think that there are more productive ways to spend your time but then they probably just don't get it anyhow.People are pissed and feel they don't have any voice in Harper's Canada.There is no doubt after three job actions have been legislated to an end and a huge game changing crime bill was rammed through with little or no debate.That democracy is dead in this country for the duration of the Harper dictatorship.By limiting debate to two days on a bill that crams 9 bills into one huge mess that appeals to no one but Harper and the advisors he uses.That would be the victims of violent crime.These people are just too angry to approach legislation with anything but a jaded view at best.At worst we get the bill we see in parliament today.A mish mash of conservative ideology,christian right severity and little or no complementary data.An unjustified shift to the right at a time when crime is at all time lows and being reduced every year.Of course the conservatives have all kinds of excuses to explain this away.Their excuses are as uninformed as they are.People do not sit out in the rain in protest of nothing at all.There are very good and valid reasons that the average Canadian feels he is powerless.Harper and his minority(in support)government ruling like a petty despot is only one.

Harper's number one priority

With the stock markets tanking and surging,for no apparent reason other than a complete lack of confidence in the state of the world economy,one would be forgiven for thinking that this countries government's primary concern would be in how to keep people working.Not so with the Government of Stephen Harper.Don't forget that this is the same Harper who prorogued parliament to save his own job when he totally misread the first economic collapse.The same Harper that insisted we harmonize our banking system with that of the US.Luckily,we were once smart enough in this country to know an idiot when we heard one speak.Now that the man has dictatorial power for a five year margin his first act is to take a bunch of already tried crime bills,bills that were so against the common good that they were dropped without a debate and jammed them in with a bunch of even worse bills and with the demand that this omnibus bill be passed in 100 days.Harper never listens to the statistics or to science or even to what is happening around the world.He is continually in court trying to close down insite,which is a program that has earned this country praise world wide.His hatred for cannabis is legend and his opposition to harm reduction based on personal morality,period.Why,with the world backing away from the disastrous prohibition that has seen a spreading of drug use around the planet that is unprecedented,would Harper want to expand the very laws that caused this plague in the first place?One can only surmise that it is yet another of the many foolhardy motions and statements that spring eternal from the evangelical right.Their placing of their personal beliefs above all else,above science,math,history,and common sense is against any known form of logic known to man.These terrible crime bills.Formed in consultation with the victims of violent crime and police chiefs,and we all know how impartial those groups are,these laws are aimed at the poorest people in the country.Oh,they call them organized crime bills and they might even be so deluded as to believe that that is who will suffer under these acts.I will guarantee,after 45 years of watching the local crime scene closely,that these bills will put a huge number of low level drug addicts in prison for serious lengths of time.People say that at least while they're in prison they're not out committing crimes.They are also not learning anything but how to be a better criminal and they come under the influence of the most sick and violent people in the country.They come out,and they all do come out as angrier,smarter and more hair triggered criminals than when they went in.Many will pick up serious drug habits.So it was,so it is and so it always will be.Canada,in the 60's and early 70's put away more people by population than any western democracy.More than even the US.Now we have another conservative government that wants to put more people in prison than any government before them.It seems to be a conservative badge of honor.It doesnt work.It costs a fortune for no return and it does nothing to resolve the underlying problems of poverty and drug abuse that have been at the root of crime since we crawled out of the sludge and began walking upright.You would think that we would learn from history.We don't.The election of Stephen Harper makes me wonder if we ever learn at all.
