My new friend from Pakistan sells crystals

I can see your point Crystal canuck. It's a good point to take into consideration. Right now I still see for instance a lot of people advertising Afghan Lapis Lazuli on Etsy.

well I do have to say that most "terrorist organizations" outside of the U.S. are actually primarily owned and operated by the U.S.. if that matters at all. not that no other countries have their own evil biz going on, but the ones you mentioned are definitely interests or operations of the U.S. not that it'll necessarily make a difference if it's purely Pakistan controlled crime or U.S. controlled Pakistan crime anyway....

but nevermind that.. this thread makes me curious if any of your suppliers are interested in the spiritual side of crystals too. I'd hope that'd make them more trustworthy and conscientious

Nah, I don't think they care about the spiritual side of crystals. Interesting that you think ISIS and al queda are interests of the U.S. Any chance you have any proof to back that up ? Forgive me, but it sounds a little like a tin foil hat conspiracy theory. Sort of like how 911 was an inside job, or that we never landed on the moon.

Not that I am a big fan of the policies of the U.S government, and heck yeah I can see why other countries would consider them evil. Makes me sad because they used to be known as the land of freedom, and now it's more like the land of imperialism and a bit of a dictatorship. The U.S used to be a very nice country, and to be honest, most of the people there are very good and kind people, it's their government that's to blame. In fact many of the Americans I meet are ashamed of their government.

To be clear, I never ordered anything from them, based on my gut feelings and piecing together the puzzle.
