I
am beginning to suspect that the recent Japanese potentially haarp and
stucks worm incidence might be related with this revolution too!
I been hearing that US policy was openly critizised in Japanese government
houses (faking 911 mobilization related) (2009- present)
Feb 06 2011 Bitcoin surpases the dollar first time
then this recent declaration of open exchange (war?) from the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silk_Road_(anonymous_marketplace) page
which some speculate is a Asian idea too:
In reaction to a Gawker article on th=
e
marketplace[1],
US Senators Charles Schumer
and Joe Manchin sent a letter t=
o
to US Attorney General Eric Holder
and DEA Administrator Michele
Leonhart insisting
that the agency shut down the
marketplace.[5]
[6]
In
a press conference Schumer
described Silk Road as follows:
It's a certifiable one-stop shop for illegal drugs that represents the most
brazen attempt to peddle drugs online that we have ever seen. It's more
brazen than anything else by
lightyears.[7]
Subsequently, Silk Road's administrators posted on the Silk Road forums the
following statement:
The die have been cast and now we will see how they land. We will be
diverting even more effort into countering their attacks and making the sit=
e
as resilient as possible, which means we may not be as responsive to
messages for a while.
I'm sure this news will scare some off, but should we win the fight, a new
era will be born. Even if we lose, the genie is out of the bottle and they
are fighting a losing War
already.[8]
After this attention, traffic to the website increased dramatically and the
bitcoin saw a corresponding rise in
value.[3]
Sellers
are mostly based in the USA and
Britain.[3]

Anyhow its a Matrix time to be alive!
