Title: Silk Road's monthly clearnet news article thread
Post by: kesser on January 29, 2013, 08:25 am
I thought it would be interesting to share the latest new articles from around the world to get a better picture of what the outside media believes to be going on inside SR. Its good to know what the outside world thinks of us and how they portray TSR to the general public.

Here is a recent one i just stumbled upon, its pretty clear we all know who the article is about but more interestingly is the comments below lots of people using normal usernames and quite probably without TOR behind them posting about SR, even more so journalists posting inside SR and lurking about then selling their stories to the press.

So feel free to share other interesting articles you find.

Already been up bud, think they all have to be honest out of all the articles I have read on SR the Telegraph is the least judgmental and seems like its been written by some who has either used or knows some one that has used the road I have a feeling that the road will eventually start getting good press (strange I know)

Ahhh must of done a pretty shabby search. Yes out of all the UK newspapers the telegraph is definitely a more reputable one.
I suppose we can only hope that as drugs become more socially acceptable seeing as how Hollywood currently portray weed in most of its films then a more liberal approach is used with them. Who knows what good things could be said about SR in the future.

Will just let the thread die, or mods can close it if there is already another one.

The search feature on here is a bit temperamental it takes a while to master. Yes you are right but it will take time and as shocking as it sounds the older generations (people in their 50's/60's/70's) just need to die off then we can make progress as they are the most brain washed out of the bunch its a shame a real shame that so many people believe the propaganda still but I myself fell for it as a teenager all we can do is educate and never be ashamed of smoking your herb!
