I agree wholeheartedly, but I feel like it really spiraled out of control after 9/11. 

If you look at all authoritarian power structures through the history of time, every one has fallen.  IMO Things have a way of balancing themselves out.  Freedom always prevails though in the end, because people want to be free.

Thanks for posting all this stuff coming across as offensive was never my intention.  I just think before jumping on the fear bandwagon we should strive more to understand the methods on which they are operating.  Hyperion is far less concerning to me than onymous

Yeah, the tactics being played out in the story in OP are as clear as fucking glass.

No, to try and scare people from getting into the DNM's. They're safe as fuck if you take precautions and are not a vendor.

Come on, you know they're not trying to stop people taking drugs to keep them 'safe'. They're trying to stop people taking drugs because people on (certain) drugs have a tendency to start to see through all the bullshit TPTB feed us. That is not in the interest of TPTB.

It is in their best interest to keep as many people as possible away from drugs. With the rate the DNM's are growing in use of course they're gonna want to scare people off. It seems to have worked on you and I bet it worked on many others too.

Yeah, but they do shit drugs, like coke and expensive alcohol. Which are the antithesis of drugs like LSD & DMT, which open your mind, the preference among the rich seems to be stuff that boosts the ego, not stuff that lets you see past it.

My oldest friend is very rich now, and he hates psyches, cause he can't stand not being in control. Massive cokehead though.

Yeah I was going to say they certainly don't mind people using certain harmful drugs.

In fact I would argue they try to make drug industries more dangerous via prohibition.

It's not my intention to scare people away from the drug market, I'm just pointing out the vulnerabilities of Tor and the legalities of using it. The Supreme Court is expanding the FBI's powers in hacking this December. Despite the legislative saying they would intervene...so far however that does not seem to be the case . A lot of people on here think they are safe on Tor and that simply is not true. This goes for any activity on Tor that may be illegal. The surveillance state is increasing not decreasing. Of course drugs will always be around and as there will always be ways to get them.

Says who?? Says you?? Based on what?? This dumbass article with no evidence whatsoever to prove anything about unavoidable flaws in the tor network (what you continuously suggest), or your article about tor mail hacking?? Logic points to Both of those things being script vulnerabilities or good old fashioned police work.  When speculating about shit we don't understand the scope of, it's best to apply some deductive reasoning.  As of now your claims are baseless especially concerning tor mail and Hyperion...better argument would be bringing onymous in to the discussion and trying to decipher what all that means for the tor network.

I appreciate you sharing articles.  I don't appreciate you spreading misinformation that tor is compromised without any EVIDENCE to back it up.  No article i have ever seen you post suggests that tor is fucked (as you claim after every one), just that tor users get targeted.  This should be COMMON KNOWLEDGE to EVERYONE who uses tor for illegal purposes.  If you are doing illegal shit, you need to know how to protect yourself...not running JavaScript, not doxing yourself, setting up obfuscated bridges, etc etc. 

So please until you have some facts to back up all your baseless claims, stop.  We know they hack.  You going to actually teach us something or keep whining like a little baby how everything is fucked without understanding HOW?

One person calls you a horse ignore him.  Second person calls you a horse punch him in the nose. Third person calls you a horse, shop for a saddle.

You sound a little butthurt. These are my opinions...no one has to agree with me or anything...but the number of darknet busts keep going up and articles like these are coming out more an more.

I'm not butthurt I just have a strong distaste for spewing misinformation as fact, which you continue to do.  If you continue to make baseless statements abou the  tor network itself being compromised without any evidence to back it up, I will continue to correct you.

I may sound butthurt to you. But to me you sound like a Facebook milleneal who sensationalizes  clickbait whilst remaining ignorant to the actual substance of the article :shrug:

Keep posting unproven statements  as fact and I'll keep correcting you.

https://motherboard.vice.com/read/us-customs-police-paid-contractors-to-monitor-the-dark-web

US Customs Police Paid Contractors to Monitor the Dark Web

Law enforcement aren’t tackling the dark web alone. According to public records and documents obtained by Motherboard, a section of the Department of Homeland Security has paid contractors around $150,000 for dark web monitoring services.

The move shows the increasing presence of so-called threat intelligence companies, that aim to provide corporate and government clients with access to information gleaned from hacking forums, drug marketplaces, and other sections of the digital underground.

The payments were made to Flashpoint, a company that offers products such as intelligence reports, automated alerts, and an API for access to dark web data, according to the company’s website. Flashpoint says it uses human analysts and automation to monitor the internet, and customers can access historical and “near real-time data” too.

Flashpoint doesn’t just offer information by itself though; clients can communicate directly with company analysts “to facilitate tailored threat investigations and deeper analyses of what is most relevant to your organization,” the website continues.

In August 2014, the DHS’s Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) paid $149,000 for “law enforcement mission critical requirement of data and analysis on illicit activity conducted on online social networks, especially those accessed via the internet’s ‘dark web,’” from September 2014 to August 2015, according to a public listing of the transaction.

An order for supplies or services, obtained by Motherboard via the Freedom of Information Act, indicates that the total sum was split into two payments for $50,000, and one for $49,000. (ICE redacted what these different payments related to, stating that their release would disclose techniques and/or procedures for law enforcement investigations).

According to the document, ICE may have received other, more recent services from Flashpoint too, stretching to at least August of this year.

ICE has been behind a number of dark web arrests and operations. The agency was recently part of a worldwide awareness campaign from law enforcement, designed to highlight that purchasing illegal goods on the dark web may not be as anonymous as some think. ICE was also involved in the arrest of a poison vendor in 2014, and more recently, was linked to the bust of a man who allegedly offered murder-for-hire services on the dark web.

“In order to protect the integrity of our investigations, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) generally does not discuss law enforcement tools and techniques. The agency routinely works with the private sector to acquire tools that enable our agency to keep pace and stay ahead of evolving criminal activity that poses a threat to public safety and/or national security,” ICE spokesperson Dani Bennett told Motherboard in an email.

Although Flashpoint’s website doesn’t go into any specifics, it claims the company has “caught bad guys for the government.”

Indeed, Flashpoint’s leadership has a close relationship with law enforcement, and in particular the FBI. According to to The Intercept, the US government has paid Flashpoint’s Chief Innovation Officer Evan Kohlmann and his company at least $1.4 million for testifying in trials as an expert witness, and assisting with FBI investigations and consulting with other agencies.

According to public records, other US agencies that have ordered services from Flashpoint include Citizenship and Immigration Services for a total of $70,000 in 2015, the Secret Service for $331,500 in 2014, and most recently the Internal Revenue Service for $65,000 this August. Those records do not indicate whether the orders were specifically for dark web monitoring, but do suggest they related to subscriptions to Flashpoint services.

If they were having any real progress don't you think major vendors would be getting busted?...

Notice how they are intentionally super vague... Maybe they don't want to tip their hand if they have had any major breakthroughs but I also could see them doing the opposite. They take every chance they get to spread propaganda/ fear mongering as an excuse for a bigger budget. So if they had made any real progress I am pretty sure people would be aware of it by now.

Anything groundbreaking like the complete monitoring of tor would no doubt be highly classified.

Yes but we would see results from such a breakthrough. Unless they decide to just compile info and let all the pedos and dealers keep on keeping on...

I am not denying something like that is possible but I am almost certain we would have seen some signs by now. Unless it is a recent development.

IF there was some recent breakthrough I bet all it would take is an extra layer or 2 of encryption and most people would be relatively secure again :shrug:

Why do you think they would bust a major dealer...right away? A large dealer can provide a lot of information thats how police opperate they let people or vendors deal all the time as long as they want anyway. Think about it.

Pretty sure it is the opposite dude... They bust small time dealers/ buyers then cut them deals to work up the latter.

If they had anything on the bigwigs they would have already been targeting them. Look at what happened to DPR.

You should think about it, why would they let a big time dealer go if they had anything on them?

So they could catch all the small time dealers buying grams of weed from them online? :lol:

All they would have to do is bust the person and then pretend nothing happened and keep listing stuff on their account.

But there is no reason I can think of why they would put off busting all the major dealers they can if things were truly compromised...

And if they had started doing that I imagine they would be shoving it in everyone's faces to try and deter people from using TOR/ the darknet.

Instead all we have is vague fear mongering clearly intended to dissuade people from using TOR...

See I used to believe this. but personally, I came to the conclusion that they are really just dumbasses and hypocrites. Not particularly intelligent

I feel conspiracy theories like these give too much credit to the ruling class. Its not a thing about these coniving bastards formulating these insane plans. Its just a bunch of idiots who believe the garbage they spew. Everyone who I have brought up DMT to thinks its the crazy pcp type drug. And it really comes down to misinformation

both of us are just speculating at this point
