Remember the J6 Political Prisoners Eileen F. Toplansky
I always wondered how the Nazis and the communists could just take over a country of millions and then destroy the bodies and souls of the people.
In America, it is happening before our very eyes. In fact, the American Gulag is sadly alive and well. At the Gateway Pundit site article titled “J6 Political Prisoner Jake Lang Thrown in Permanent Solitary Confinement”of October 24, 2024, one learns that
“The Biden-Harris regime has passed a red line that hallmarks all totalitarian regimes: persecution and torture.
“January 6 Political Prisoner Jake Lang has been thrown in solitary confinement permanently for posting a video from a secret contraband cell phone of himself praying, Holy Bible in hand, on the floor of his prison cell.
“Lang is a January 6 patriot and founder of the community fundraiser for all of the J6ers, SponsorJ6.com, who has spent nearly 1,400 days behind bars without a trial [emphasis mine]. Jake’s treatment has become an example of the egregious overreach of a weaponized federal government. For almost four years, he’s been incarcerated as a political hostage of the Biden-Harris regime, enduring unimaginable hardship, including over 900 days in solitary confinement.
Patriots are being urged to call the following and demand that all January 6 detainees be moved back into their own cell block C3B in the Central Treatment facility so as to avoid being further mistreated.
DC Jail Warden Pace Secretary: 202-523-7010
General Counsel for DC Jail: 202-671-2042
DC Jail Main Desk: 202-698-4932
US Marshals Supervisor: 202-772-0373
“During Jake’s most recent transfer to DC Jail, it was learned that they used the ‘black box’ handcuff torture device that left his wrists bleeding and starved him for over 24 hours.”
This administration has trashed the Constitution every which way it can. These are American citizens who are being brutalized and starved.
Young American families have been without their fathers and mothers for years simply because their parents went to Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021 to stand and listen to President Trump speak. There was “no ill intent” in exercising this constitutional right.
Good men and women are enduring what most of us would associate with the gulags of communist regimes. Cruel and unusual punishment is the norm. Due process is a foreign idea.
For insight into the brutal treatment that J6 prisoners are enduring, see here and here. Mind you, the Tucker Carlson piece is not recent and, yet, the horrors continue.
Over the years we have learned that the January 6th committee suppressed testimony that Trump wanted 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital on January 6, 2021. Yet, the request was denied. It is now known that Speaker Nancy Pelosi never wanted the National Guard deployed.
More amazing is that the J6 Democrat Committee failed to properly archive the records, “including documents and correspondence with the Biden administration.” Furthermore, in January of 2024 it was discovered that the Committee had “destroyed more than 100 encrypted files from its 2021 investigation.”
Thus, the panel did not follow the law and destroyed evidence.
But, the J6 political prisoners still languish in jail. And to add insult to injury, the J6 prisoners jailed for nearly four years, are being denied the right to vote in the upcoming 2024 election.www.att.net
But non-citizens are voting!
John Strand who was released from prison in July of 2024 said that “federal prison officials in Miami locked him in solitary confinement for four months of his term over accusations ranging from publicly revealing online how far he had to walk to reach a computer, to helping other Jan. 6 defendants in prison receive support from outside groups.”
On March 29, 2022, Robert B. Charles wrote that
“The point of this piece is not to relitigate the protest, election, charges, or anything to do with politics. It is to focus on a simple idea – due process and rule of law (emphasis mine].
“The Department of Justice has an incomplete, frighteningly suggestive reporting system, that indicates one case was dismissed, some resolved by plea, 70 adjudicated – but many in perdition, facing seemingly eternal punishment and damnation, [with] no resolution on the horizon. Whether hundreds or ‘just 40”’as one article argues, one is too many.
“How can this be, in a nation with a Bill of Rights, which promises ‘no person shall be … deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law’ (5th Amendment)? The Bill of Rights notwithstanding, many charged individuals remain untried, still mysteriously detained.
“Consider the 6th Amendment. ‘In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial …’ Has that occurred? “.. by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed …’ Has that occurred?
“What we know, . . . is [that] conditions are incorrigible, in some cases objectively inhumane and indefensible.
“So, what can be done to assure that America – unlike Russia, China, and half the politicized legal systems of the world – does NOT hold, detain indefinitely, mistreat, forget, or otherwise leave an impression that political prisoners exist, part of a nefarious ‘two-tiered system?’
“First, the exact status of all cases should be made public now, and every succeeding day. That should not be hard. Every American is owed that clarity.
“Second, reporters, family, friends, and concerned citizens should be able to meet with these indefinitely detained individuals. Not to do so raises serious suspicions, suggesting those in charge can do as they wish, are unaccountable.
“Third, counsel by name – for all detained individuals – should be made public. Like Fifth Amendment assurances of due process, Sixth Amendment guarantees are not negotiable.
“Fourth, with the consent of the detained, televisions cameras, congressional investigators, members of Congress, relevant State officials should be permitted to see these individuals and conditions.
“Fifth, especially in these cases, justice should return to being swift and fair, since the question now arises whether a Democrat-controlled federal and DC government, where anti-Trump feeling runs strong, could be intentionally disregarding these Americans, letting them languish.
Besides the physical torment, the reduced living quarters, the unfit food, the psychological and emotional torture is ever present. It is reminiscent of what other political prisoners have described whether it be Solzhenitsyn or the lesser well known Stephanie Salazar Landaeta. It is a limbo land where the totalitarian authorities exact a “transformation from being human to being non-human – from belonging to non-belonging.”[1] It takes every bit of strength to resist.
Senator Rand Paul highlights the double standard as applied by the Left. In February 2022, Rand wrote
“…the Sixth Amendment should apply regardless of your political persuasion.
“It disturbs me that the outrage from the left seems to be selective.
“During the months of arson, murder and other violence in 2020, Kamala Harris tweeted her support for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which bailed out a woman charged with murder for stabbing her friend to death as well as a twice-convicted rapist charged with kidnapping and sexual assault. The protests of 2020 resulted in at least 25 deaths, thousands of injured police, and nearly $2 billion in damage to our cities.
“Yet we have heard nothing from Vice President Harris on the Jan. 6 detainees held for nearly a year without trial, some of whom have not been charged with any acts of violence against persons.
“A federal judge stepped in to confirm the abusive jail conditions and yet those on the left fail to lift a finger or pen a word to condemn this injustice. Their hypocrisy indicates that either they hate these people so much that they now refuse to acknowledge the injustice of prolonged incarceration without trial, or they simply don’t care because these citizens are supporters of Donald Trump.
Is America becoming a nation of star chambers — courts known for their lack of juries, arbitrary punishments and secrecy or one based on the integrity of due process enshrined in our Constitution?
