Pricey Reader,
I write this letter to you earlier than the solar has made her first look. The moon nonetheless reigns on this present day, April twenty fourth 2026. At this identical precise time, 5:00 AM, solely two years prior, my spouse Lauren and I had been each awaken dramatically to sirens, flashing lights, and brisk instructions shouted over a megaphone.
“Keonne Rodriguez, that is the FBI, come out along with your fingers up IMMEDIATELY!” was repeatedly shouted. Over 50 armed FBI tactical brokers pointed their assault rifles at our chests. Drones, armored autos, assault rifles, males dressed like GI-JOE, all swarmed the quiet humble small city the place we lived. As soon as arrested, handcuffed, positioned behind a police cruiser, Biden’s lackeys descended on my house like a swarm of ants hopped up on adrenaline.
The drone was flown by the home first to clear the way in which, the GI-JOEs adopted, lastly the military of blue haired DEI hires and the puny males who seemed like they’d be defeated by the considered a single push-up shuffled their means in. I knew the tech group the second I noticed them.
They’d be going by my arduous drives and USB sticks. I used to be most nervous about my spouse who at this level was nonetheless detained in handcuffs. I used to be relieved once they let her go away and my fear instantly was directed towards my cat who I knew would fairly fortunately reap the benefits of the hubbub and the vast open doorways to go on one in all her unmonitored adventures across the village.
That’s how my day began on April 24, 2024. Two years later, I begin my day markedly in a different way. I get up at FPC Morgantown. Federal jail. I’m advised after I can sleep, after I can wake, after I can eat, after I can bathe, what I can put on, and even to a point what I can assume.
My days are structured round shouted instructions over a loud speaker and a e-book of laws I’m anticipated to observe. In jail your id is stripped from you. In right here it’s ‘us and them’, convicts and guards, inmates and CO’s. Don’t get me fallacious, many of the CO’s are respectable sufficient, they’re right here to do a job, and so they do it nicely. Deal with them with respect and don’t fiddle with contraband (principally cellphones and vapes) and they’re going to typically deal with you nicely sufficient. However on the finish of the day, they go house and also you don’t. So right here I’m, inmate # 11404-511, a federal prisoner.
Two years in the past immediately an overzealous and politicized FBI underneath corrupt management, underneath a corrupt presidential administration, performing underneath a corrupt Division of Justice that empowered a corrupt US Legal professional that delegated authority to deprave AUSA’s; indicted, raided, and arrested me and Invoice, two American software program builders. Simply one other two casualties within the Biden ‘Conflict on Crypto’.
Two small fishes with no political pals or affect. Two guys who wrote software program and gave away code that labored so nicely they’d no alternative however to alter the principles of the sport and go after us with the total power and may of the USA authorities.
And by God, their calculations had been right. Barely anybody cared. Invoice and I couldn’t even elevate sufficient cash for our authorized protection. We had been left excessive and dry to fend for ourselves towards an adversary with limitless assets. The federal government took out the one efficient non custodial, open supply, privateness device in the complete area and there was barely a whimper of protest. From some corners of the business there was even celebration. This wasn’t a warfare on crypto, in a warfare each side have a preventing likelihood. This was a bloodbath.
There isn’t a doubt that the ‘Conflict On Crypto’ was began and waged fiercely underneath Joe Biden. However Biden himself has confirmed to be a ship with out a rudder. He was clearly a person who didn’t know his ass from his elbow. He was nothing greater than a marionette puppet whose strings had been being pulled by aides and henchmen receiving orders in secret from the likes of Elizabeth Warren and her self described ‘anti crypto military’. The Conflict On Crypto actually belongs to her.
The Trump administration inherited this warfare, and received the election partly as a result of the democrats couldn’t steal it in the identical means they did in 2020 – that was a trick that may solely work as soon as – but in addition as a result of Trump appealed to younger males of each race.
A significant motive for this enchantment was 1) His promise to free Ross and a couple of) his promise to finish the warfare on crypto. In some ways he has made good progress. Ross was freed as promised and the administration started to dismantle the levers of energy that had been the large weapons within the ‘warfare on crypto’. The SEC was reigned in, the tide had begun to show towards the luddite candlestick makers in favor of the electrical lightbulbs.
The deputy legal professional normal – now the performing legal professional normal – Todd Blanche issued a memo early within the administration meant to reign in rogue prosecutors, explaining in beautiful element that America doesn’t regulate by prosecution and doesn’t maintain accountable software program builders for the acts of their finish customers. Blanche and the brand new administration drew a line within the sand. The warfare seemed to be ending.
What most individuals miss about this ‘Conflict on Crypto’ is that it isn’t an atypical warfare. It’s not an us versus them warfare. It is vitally a lot a civil warfare. An us versus us warfare. As such, when Blanche printed his memo, when Trump ordered the top of the warfare, the infantry on the bottom tasked with obeying these orders – the road prosecutors, the AUSA’s, the military of unelected bureaucratic lifers – ignored them. Willfully and explicitly.
They continued simply as they’ve at all times performed, maybe change a cost from (b) to (c), or change the language they use to ensure that they get away with blatant insubordination. The administration has been coping with this treachery from day one, in all areas, not simply crypto.
Trump recognized the issue throughout his first time period. He known as it the swamp or the deep state. I name it the executive state. The executive state was an issue for him throughout his first time period. It orchestrated the most important election heist ever witnessed in 2020.
It then got here after Trump trying to place him in jail for all times. And it continues immediately unabated in the course of the second administration. Dismantling of the executive state adopted by the total scale liquidation of the military of apparatchiks that lord over us, can be, if he is ready to obtain it, Trump’s lasting legacy.
So the place can we stand now? The ‘Conflict On Crypto’ is half received. The SEC has largely been reigned in. The DOJ underneath Bondi and now Blanche has not introduced ahead new prices underneath these novel theories conjured up over the past administration, so to a point Blanche’s memo did work.
Elizabeth Warren and her ‘anti crypto military’ have decidedly misplaced, simply because the luddites did, simply because the horse carriage males protesting the auto did. She was at all times going to lose, it was nearly how a lot injury she might do on the way in which down. With the warfare half received, an issue stays, combatants have been left behind.
One of many US Army’s guiding ideas is that no man will get left behind. Heaven and earth can be moved at extraordinary expense to retrieve a single American behind enemy traces (as has simply been witnessed in Iran).
Properly, within the ‘Conflict on Crypto’, males have been left on the battlefield. Forgotten and left to bleed out. The warfare is not going to be received till Invoice and myself are extricated from behind enemy traces.
The warfare is not going to be received till Roman Storm stops being shot at with ammunition supplied by the final corrupt administration and carried ahead by the wolves within the hen home of this administration. Once we are all house with the specter of retribution by essentially the most highly effective and mighty state bearing down on us now not credible, then we are able to have fun the victory of this warfare.
Till the crypto prisoners are free, none of us are free.
