President Trump Honors Commitment Made to Libertarian Party at National Convention
President Donald Trump made a promise to the Libertarian Party, to its members, and to Chair Angela McArdle, to free Ross Ulbricht at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention. We are proud to announce today that because of the influence, the impact and the power that the party can wield, Ross Ulbricht once more walks in the light of liberty, outside of a cell, pardoned by President Trump.
“Ross Ulbricht has been a libertarian political prisoner for more than a decade. I’m proud to say that saving his life has been one of our top priorities and that has finally paid off,” said Libertarian National Committee Chair, Angela McArdle. “Ross, congratulations to you and your family. God bless you and keep you safe in your new found freedom. On behalf of the Libertarian Party, we are gifting you with an honorary lifetime membership. Thank you to Pres. Trump for following through on your promise. This is an incredible moment in Libertarian history.”
The Libertarian Party has embarked on a new path that exercises the potent influence of its membership and base to become a party of influence in national politics. This initiative was moved forward in advance of the National Convention by Party Chair Angela McArdle, who worked to bring in new voices, and potential allies on issues Libertarians hold most sacred. President Donald Trump was one such invitee, and that coordinated effort to unite philosophies has proven to be immediately fruitful in the freeing of Mr. Ulbricht.
Freeing Ross is only the first step in an overarching plan in place by the Libertarian National Committee for 2025 that will look to bring justice to more politically persecuted individuals, Defend the Guard, Decentralize the Revolution, create Local DOGE, and vastly increase local race victories through new tactical and logistical strategies. Roger Ver, aka Bitcoin Jesus, is currently fighting prosecution, and as previously announced, the Party’s Anti-Lawfare Initiative already has eager volunteers waiting to lend their talents to the fight.
Dance with the ones that brung ya.
Judges all over the country are releasing murderers onto our streets. Anyone remember how many of the folks that destroyed our cities with riot after riot...walked away...no arrest....no prison...no penalties.
And those two lawyers - LAWYERS - in NYC who threw molotov cocktails into a police (?) car during the summer of mostly peaceful protests?
I seem to recall they pled down to jaywalking.
And then there was Bill Ayres, Obama’s terrorist buddy.
In October 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Ulbricht and took Silk Road offline. In 2015, he was convicted of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, distributing narcotics, distributing narcotics by means of the internet, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to commit computer hacking.
He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Ulbricht’s appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 2017 and the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 were unsuccessful.
Trump should pardon all bishps that closed down the churches....and Francis as well. That would be funny....too see which would knee jerk against that. They wade 8nto politics like climate change, so fair game to troll.
