I want to thank you so very much for your motivational card. I took it around & showed it to all 32 Political Prisoners.
Not sure if you’ve got the full news of the psychological chess game we are playing in here?
My name is Jeff McKellop, I was 22 yrs in the Army. 10 yrs in Special Forces, ODP 394 & 395.
When or upon retirement, I became a contractor for the government. I’ve spent almost 30 yrs supporting & working for our government. Not one day have I ever been more disappointed & let down by our country than the current election process & the geriatric sleepwalking, fool. Whew! Got that out.
Isolation: When meeting w/ anyone outside this facility, (regardless of social distance, mask, hand sanitizer & plastic barrier, I got 14 days lockdown each time. No contact w/ anyone in the cell block, temp checked on once. Put in the furthest cell away from anyone. Allowed 20 min a day outside cell. No contact, back in.
First 4 months: chained and shackled, brought down the hallway for medical, (guards) “Dead Man Walking”: He is be Trump, He be Trump supporter”, inciting violence from other inmates walking freely in the hallways. (Inmates} “F**k you honky ass motherf**ker! I’ll f**king kill you!” (Guards laughing)” List is endless with the “set up for failures” this station has to offer us. Names! Alexander, Hays, Pinky, Armstrong, etc….these people would transfer inmates to other areas of the facility & snap check their cells for legal paperwork. I received a huge packet of legal paperwork. Names, places, photos, my entire history, my children’s history, neighbors, on & on. I was pulled from my cell @ 10 pm to see medical. (Of course, no one there) I was seriously worried I was going to get beat or killed, I waited for 30 min. No one showed. Escorted back to cell. First thing I noticed? All my legal paperwork gone.
Any time you speak out? Lockdown, no food.
Snap inspections, good cop, bad cop.
False paperwork, guards fill out false complaint forms using “n” word, supporting violence [next page]….supporting racial separation, unleashing guards upon us. Pulled out of cells for Q & A group 3rd grade meeting where guards forget why their yelling @ us.
Ranking officials randomly show & yank us out of the cells. Once again, racial, food, guards, living conditions, Q & A
Conditions of cells (here we go) Human fecal matter smashed in the angle of beds. Smashed into the corners of the rooms; black mold spraying from air vents, black mold & rust in windows; informed guards of the situation. They move us around to other rooms. Still I have to clean my own cell. My once white hand rag is brown. Water taste of pure metal. I have a taste [in my mouth] as if I’ve been sucking on a penny all day.
Food is cold, smashed, burned, not enough, one inmate left his bologna sandwich overnight on his desk. Had mold next day. Told guards: All inmates removed from cells for Q & A. Told if we don’t like, we can throw it out, that’s all your going to get. Dinner almost 5 days a week, baloney or PB & J, for dinner 3-4 cookies, wet chips, maybe bologna, pack of Kool Aid, two slices of white bread, etc. Schools get better meals.
Meet w/legal or legal phone calls: deliberately brought to meetings late, so you only have 20-3o min instead of an hour meet. Always blame it on facility secretary; phone calls: late or time expires.
Guards working together against us: put all inmates back into cells, call other guards to sleep in our cell block claiming overtime & sleep on the job.
Walking down halls to medical or legal, I can hear guards talking about corruption, weapons, in the cell blocks, ref. all political inmates as rednecks, chain of command, selling phones or trying to extort food & money from inmates etc…
We had a flood one night (5 times the diaphrams of the toilet) guard came in w/ mace in hand or a night stick ready to beat ass, yelling to lock it down! Every time a flood? We (inmates) come together to save our cell block from flooding they can’t believe we would do this.
7) Back to this! Human NA sprayed on walls, the smell of urine, floor tiles popping up, on & on
This list is endless w/ little things that have a negative impact on us. But we pull together every time.
So; this is what we are experiencing @ this time
This place is a page out of the S.E.R.E. book!
(Survival, Evasion, Resistance & Escape). Tell your friends, call my children, tell every one!
This is my message in a bottle.
Oh! Every time we are told to lock down or step back into your cell? You are in it for 2-3 days. I was in mine for a week. Bathed in my sink. Good thing the military trained me for this.
Please contact your member of Congress and your Senators and demand they act on behalf of Jeff and the other patriots who are victims of an authoritarian state.
Where’s Trump?
Spot on. He needs to speak up.
We all need to understand what “Republicans” are and what they are not. In ’48, after losing 4 elections to FDR, the Dewey Wing overthrew the old Libertarian/Conservative Coalition and changed the Grand Old Party to a group of professional pols w/o an opposing ideology to socialism. Dewey, Bush, Eisenhower (yes I liked Ike too), Rockefeller, Nixon, Romney, Ford et alii were all part of the movement to a prof. party coordinated by the RNC. Dewey’s message was “if we can’t beat’em we’ll join’em”. Well sort of, he lost that year to Truman that year. In ’64 I stuffed envelopes for Goldwater and learned that the GOP d/n offer him much help. He was a “throwback” and the RNC c/n allow that. During Nixon’s resignation he turned to Ford and Ford turned to Rockefeller. The Dewey Wing held firm. The “pros” were against Reagan in ’76 and forced Bush on him in ’84. Remember, Bush’s father Prescott was an original Rino. The “pros” destroyed the Tea Party, the Pauls, and were lined up against Trump who opposed the RNC’s candidate; Jeb Bush. People asking “where are the Repubs?” or “are the Repubs cowards”, are the Repubs. stupid, miss the point. The Grand Old Party died decades ago. It b/c the Grand Opportunist Party and there is no gain for a prof. pol. to be a patriot. The political landscape is bleak today. A committed party of socialists vs a professional party of RINOs who only wish to keep a seat at the table. Can Trump restore a party ideologically opposed to socialism. I don’t think so. So don’t look over the hill for a Republican 7th cav. It aint a’coming.
They should say they’re Afghan women or interpreters. Then the Republicans would give a shit.

What am I to do about creatures like you? You offer this tidbit without regard to my instruction that none of you are allowed to use this blog as a bulletin board for links without commentary. Do it again and I will ban you.
This is simply a repudiation intended to stop all investigations into FBI agents and assets conduct in creating and provoking protester actions in D.C. This is rather standard practice of late for the FBI and DOJ, including having generically named commenters post links on blogs to facilitate the distraction and deception.
Where is that great civil liberties organization that is world famous for defending the downtrodden?
In this city, one such organization is helping Afghanis settle in the town: https://triblive.com/local/regional/western-pa-groups-prep-for-fleeing-afghans-seeking-to-resettle-in-pittsburgh/
Artemesia,
Hurrah! American’s come last! Are those fleeing because they won’t fight for thier own country coming for the hatred, bigotry and ‘systemic racism’ that the lefty’s are claiming are the reality of the USA or just brining it with them? Will the virtuous NGOs be settling anyone in Martha’s Vinyard, Silicon Valley or maybe near Biden’s place in Delaware? Has JFCS resettled anyone from the opprosed cities of Minneapolis, Seatle, Baltimore, St. Louis in the progressive city of Pittsburgh?
I guess these guys are discovering that being imprisoned in the US prison system really does suck. It shouldn’t be this way for anyone whether they’re guilty or haven’t yet had their day in court, although Arpaio was the toast of the right wing town for his bologna and bread prisons. There are a lot more BLM and anarchist (as opposed to Antifa) people in the same predicament. I just saw there are protests and rallies scheduled for tomorrow throughout the country addressing this kind of imprisonment. Even has a hashtag – #shutemdown2021. If you don’t like the new American Gulag (and you shouldn’t), maybe you should join in the protests in support of these “patriots.”
TTG,
“There are a lot more BLM and anarchist (as opposed to Antifa) people in the same predicament.”
Which states are they imprisoned in and are they in solitary confinement awaiting trial? I don’t recall seeing any such stories in the news.
Where are the Jan 6 patriots imprisoned? Is there a website or other source of information?
Recently my neighborhood community association was used to solicit reading material for persons “quarantined” due to Covid.
I think a similar campaign for the inappropriately imprisoned is called for.
Imagine the optics-impact of a buncha old ladies with hairnets like the Church Lady in that old comedy routine, visiting prisons to give reading material to Patriots.
I’d do it, with or without hairnet.
Artemesia,
DC Correctional Facitly. Lots of details of the injustice of the DOJ here:

I think the elites push a narrative that prison is for “bad” people. Of course “bad” has whatever meaning the elites assign to it on a given day. The people who get pushed up the ladder in politics may have no consistent values, but they always are depicted as castigating the “bad” people.
From a broad perspective, I think the USA’s criminal punishment system is primarily intended to maximize punishment activities. I think the punishment may have once been intended to push criminals toward some notion of repentance, but punishment became an end in itself.
A scholar recently wrote:
Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.
– Joseph Goebbels
We would like to think that modern societies like ours have outgrown barbaric customs like human sacrifice. Sure, we still engage in scapegoating and figuratively sacrifice people on the altar of public opinion, but we don’t actually kill people in hopes of placating the gods and restoring order. Or do we?
Some scholars believe we do. Following the thought of the late philosopher Rene Girard, they argue that human sacrifice is still with us today in the form of capital punishment (and incarceration – a removal from society). Girard believed that human sacrifice arose in response to what he called a “sacrificial crisis.” The original sacrificial crisis – the greatest threat to early societies – was escalating cycles of violence and retribution. The solution was to redirect the vengeance away from each other and, in violent unanimity, toward a scapegoat or class of scapegoats. Once established, this pattern was memorialized in myth and ritual, applied preemptively as human sacrifice, and carried out in response to any other crisis that threatened society.
In this view, capital punishment originated in human sacrifice and it is human sacrifice. It performs the same function: to forestall reciprocal violence through unanimous violence. It does so by monopolizing vengeance, truncating the cycle of retaliatory violence at the first iteration. This works whether the subject of execution or incarceration is guilty of a crime or not. Justice is a cover story for something more primal.
…what we rationalize in the language of justice and deterrence is actually a blood ritual, in which a person, whether guilty or not, becomes a symbol. Ritual springs up irrepressibly around executions: the last meal, the “dead man walking” to the special execution chamber, the witnesses, the medical procedures, the presiding physician, the signed papers, the last rites, the covering of the head, the precise timetable, the final words, and the exacting attention to detail all mark off the execution as separate, special… sacred.

Some people say that if you don’t believe in God, you don’t believe in anything, but the real problem is worse than that: people who stop believing in God start believing in anything. Voltaire said that when you believe absurdities, you commit atrocities. Voltaire was right.
That is an incredible piece of writing by Eisenstein, so timely as the press and our own government work to dismantle what’s left of the country.
Imagine if the American Right treated its militants the same way the left does.
If Donald had won, and 500 antifa protesters had been arrested for protesting here is what would have happened automatically:
-Money would have been immediately raised for bail and lawyers
-Top university law profs and their students would be assisting the legal defense
-The entire liberal media machine would be deployed to portray the 500 as heroes
Razumov,
Imagine if the Right had militants like the left.
I emailed my senators (Shaheen and Hassan – NH) and congress member (Annie Kuster) as suggested by Larry. Sadly I did not save the message I sent and their messaging system does not generate a copy for me either but I asked that they look into the condition of the prisoners of the 6 January 2021 incident and stated that no prisoner should be treated in the fashion described in the letter which I pasted on the bottom of my message.
Yesterday I finally got a response from Senator Shaheen that did not address my question at all. Her response is pasted below. As you can see she makes no indication that no one appears to even have made a phone call to ask about the condition of the prisoners.

Thank you for contacting me about the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. This is a dark day that we will all remember, and future generations must learn from. The American lives taken as a direct result of this violence, including a U.S. Capitol police officer, remain in my thoughts.
The seizing of the U.S. Capitol was a domestic terror attack and every assailant must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. President Trump and anyone who enabled this violence must also be held to account for their incendiary actions. Unfortunately, many questions are still left unanswered about what security failures allowed this to happen and who the perpetrators are. That is why on May 20, the U.S. House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation to create an independent commission to investigate the January 6 attack. Unfortunately, while I voted for this legislation, it did not pass the Senate.
I am disappointed that we did not get enough Republicans to pass this legislation in the Senate, however, please be assured that I will continue to take a stand against rhetoric that violates the fundamental norms and ideals of American democracy. I also remain committed to healing the divides within our country by working in a bipartisan manner with my colleagues of both parties on the issues that are important to New Hampshire and the nation. As an institution, and as a legislative body, the Senate must do better to return to a more civil discourse as we seek to be good stewards of democracy.
Thank you for again for sharing your thoughts with me and please do not hesitate to contact my office with any future concerns.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Shaheen
United States Senator
