After stealing the 2020 election, the Biden regime, the Democrat Party and the corporate media continue to exploit the events of January 6 to warrant a manhunt on Trump supporters.
Branded “white supremacists” and “domestic terrorists,” scores of Americans who protested the fraudulent election in Washington DC have since been arrested in pre-dawn raids and hauled off to jail.

Joseph Hackett
, a 50-year-old chiropractor, now faces a 20-year sentence in federal prison after “heinously” stepping in the Capitol Building for approximately ten minutes on Jan. 6.

According to court documents, prosecutors claim Hackett allegedly walked into the Capitol Rotunda towards the House of Representatives on Jan. 6 at 2:45 pm. He then left the Capitol at 2:54 pm.
After the protest, he safely returned home to Sarasota, Florida. But, the ten minutes he allegedly spent in the Capitol building would come back to haunt him months later.
In early May, the FBI left a business card on the door of Joseph’s office asking him to provide information about his involvement in the January 6 “siege.” An attorney warned Joseph that replying without adequate legal representation could result in entrapment and he never followed up with the bureau.
On May 28, three weeks later, Joseph was apprehended as the FBI raided his home and was indicted on charges of conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, aiding and abetting, destruction of government property and illegally entering a restricted building.
Now, Joseph’s wife, Deena Hackett, fears he will never return home.
As he sits in a cell for 23 hours a day, Deena is struggling to pay for the mortgage on their home and rent for their office and raise their 11-year-old daughter alone. Hiring an attorney to fight the government’s case against her husband will cost an estimated $250,000.
“It scares me with what’s going to happen to my husband. His court date is not going to be until next year. He is facing 20 years. If he gets convicted, we would be in our seventies before he got out of prison. I hope and pray that God will take care of this,” Deena told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview. “My daughter and I, we don’t have his income, we don’t have his protection, we don’t have him being with us.”
Joseph joined the Oath Keepers, an organization of current and former military, police, and first responders who pledge to “defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic,” after socialist activists began wreaking havoc in his neighborhood last summer.
“When they were rioting after the death of George Floyd death, some of them came behind our house, broke into a jewelry store. We could hear them yelling, shooting and looting. My daughter and I were both scared for our lives,” Deena said. “Joe decided he was going to protect us with the Oath Keepers and formed a neighborhood watch.

“That’s when he started paying more attention to the news and diving deeper into what was really happening in the country. He had never even voted in his life. This was the first election he ever voted for. Now, he’s being tortured.
While the FBI has yet to present evidence proving Joseph conspired to overthrow the government, his association with the Oath Keepers makes him a political target.
At least 16 suspects affiliated with the group have been charged with “conspiracy to obstruct the certification of the Electoral College vote” in connection with the Capitol “attack,” the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports.
“I don’t even know for sure that Joseph did walk into the Capitol building. They don’t have any video of him, they haven’t produced any incriminating evidence, any pictures – nothing of him even being in the Capitol,” she said. “If he was in the Capitol, he was only in there for 10 minutes. He has been in jail since May 28 and may go to prison for 20 years for being in the Capitol for 10 minutes. But they are claiming he was a leader of the Oath Keepers and that he was conspiring to overthrow the government on January 6.
“Our lives have just been turned upside down. His practice is just completely gone. I am struggling to keep mine alive. I need to pay the bills and take care of my daughter. The FBI took all of our computers so I have not even been able to complete patient files. Friends and family are helping but this is too much.”
Prosecutors allege Hackett paid for a room under another person’s name at the Hilton Garden Inn in D.C. from Jan. 5-7. In reality, “one guy booked all the hotel rooms for everybody,” Deena maintains. “They are making this a big story. Joe is a chiropractor he was up there to help people.”
Deena recalled the morning of May 28, when she received a call from the FBI informing her Joe was arrested and being held at Tampa federal courthouse.
“The FBI told me my daughter and I were not allowed to come home because they were in my house with a search warrant. Unfortunately, I was wearing a heart monitor that day because I had been having heart palpitations. I contacted an attorney who told me I had to be in Tampa in an hour – an hour from my house. I went home to change clothes without even thinking because I was in a panic. The officers met me in the garage and told me I could not go into my house. A female officer came out. She looked at me in the eyes and I can tell that she was so sorry that this was happening. They let me change in my daughter’s room and then escorted me out to my car,” she explained. “Then I drove to Tampa and saw Joe sitting in chains in the courtroom.
“He just looked defeated. It was probably the worst day of my life. The prosecutor called him a domestic terrorist. He was sitting there with drug dealers and a wife beater. They all got to go home, off on bail. But they wouldn’t let Joe go. They took him to Pinellas County Jail, then took him to Oklahoma and on June 28th transferred him to DOC-DC jail in Washington, DC .”

Daunted by exorbitant legal fees, Joe and Deena, an acupuncture physician, are relying on a court-appointed attorney to fight the government’s domestic terrorist charges.
“We can’t afford an attorney,” Deena said. “The attorney offering to take the case wanted us to pay $250,000 in a one-month sum. I told him if I sold our house and the cars, I still wouldn’t have $250,000 to give you. I am contemplating selling one of our two cars. It will at least be enough to pay the office rent for a couple of months. We have a lease for six more years at the office. We have to eat. I would like to get up to DC for Joe’s trial. I would like to get up there to at least visit him this summer if possible.”
Democrats warn the events of January 6 were worse than the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which resulted in the deaths of 2,977 innocent people and equivalent to Pearl Harbor, which entered the U.S. into the Second World War that killed more than 400,000 Americans.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of anarchist and socialist rioters, looters, and arsonists that destroyed buildings, businesses, and injured police officers during the summer of 2020 have not been arrested or if arrested, have been released or given suspended sentences.
** Deena launched a crowdfunding GiveSendGo campaign last week in hopes of being able to hire a private attorney to represent her husband.
If the campaign is successful, a portion of the donations will be used to support other January 6 protesters in the DC jail who aren’t as fortunate as Joseph.
“There is a January 6th protester who has been in solitary confinement in a DC jail for two months. He’s 26 years old. He’s in there with no underwear, no soap, no nothing — being treated like an animal. We are sending money to the guys in there who don’t have family members – for commissary and so they can use the phone. A lot of these guys, their families don’t have money to send them. So, we are also sending them funds,” Deena said. “Whatever money we get, is going to all the guys in there, not just Joe.
“I am ashamed of my country right now. I feel like this country has turned against us. I could barely even celebrate July 4. For them to be saying my husband is a white supremacist is blowing my mind. My daughter and I are just trying to go day by day. That’s all we can do.”

Actually no, shit for brains. It is a right wing slogan that was used widely to describe police crack downs on BLM protestors last summer. It is being used here to make a point. Let all these mofos go to jail.

what do you think would happen if you got on stage near the 'Capitol' in Moscow and told a group of people to walk into the building and take it over?

'I'll be walking with you' or whatever fake hartfelt bullshit you guys fell for. while he's retired enjoying life his people are being put in jail for the illegal things he told them to do. and he's all about helping the people? or his people? or just himself?

Sorry to interrupt, @DW4_2016. But are you kidding me? He absolutely said he'd be there with them.

"Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there with you, we're going to walk down, we're going to walk down.

Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.

Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated."

Must be missing the "take it over" part?
The storming of the capital began before and during the speech not after.

I showed you where he said he'd be walking with them.
but not where he said take over the (Capital) building. Is there and issue with him walking down Pennsylvania Avenue?
 
This is as bad as a young corner boy in Baltimore back in the day going to jail for 20 years for selling weed.

This is absolutely horrific account!
Joseph McBride: What I can say about the Jan. 6 protesters who remain incarcerated or detained at this point, is that their constitutional rights and human rights are being violated by the Department of Justice and the Federal Government at this very moment. The law is clear that no type of punishment is appropriate for a detainee. Despite that numerous detainees are being held in solitary confinement for long periods of time. They’re being denied medical care. They’re taking beatings. They’re being denied sleep. They’re being psychologically, emotionally, and physically tortured on a regular basis,
Greg Kelly: Hold on a second. Who’s beating them up?
Joseph McBride: I am alleging that the guards are beating them up. The staff are beating prisoners on a regular basis and have been doing so for a long time. This is no exaggeration.
Greg Kelly: Was your client Richard Barnett beaten up by staff?
Joseph McBride: He absolutely was. He was beaten. He was dragged. He was hog-tied. One time his pants dropped below his ankles exposing his private parts while he was taking a beating in front of a female officer. And he had to beg and plead to pull his pants up.
The Jan. 6 political prisoners are being treated worse than America’s most dangerous enemies.
Where the hell are all the human rights groups?

Via Greg Kelly reports:
Here opens one of the most painful chapters because it speaks of the millions of people who, in various forms, have been persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and, in many cases, killed by the various communist regimes. In the countries of Eastern Europe (including Russia, albeit in a non-systematic way) there has been great attention to preserving and enhancing the memory of the victims and the condemnation of the crimes of the regimes. In all countries that have fallen prey to the communist nightmare, we find museums and research centers, foundations and associations, which work not only to preserve the memory but also to fight against the spread of that ideology. It was an extraordinarily valuable work, which testifies to the civil conscience, the spirit of justice and the yearning for freedom of those peoples.

It is my hope that a network will be established among all the museums and memorials that remember the prisons for political prisoners of communism in all countries, not only in Eastern Europe; and I hope that thanks to this network we will arrive at the creation of memorials in all places of detention, even in those (not many, fortunately) not yet classified.

That's the funniest thing of all. Donald Trump wouldn't piss on OP if he was on fire.

What's REALLY SAD though is that if the folks on January 6th were actually people of color and that was a BLM protest, OP and TGP would be calling for executions. Just like he was posting about the woman who was shot and killed in the Capitol and how the police should be investigated for it (which I actually agree with), but never a word about unarmed black men getting shot by police. I wonder why not? Actually, I do know why... we all do.
 

Wife of Jan. 6 Political Prisoner Outraged Over Double Standard: Why Are Black Lives Matter Protesters Paid $70K After Being Banned From Capitol?​

By Alicia Powe
Published August 4, 2021 at 8:31pm

As hundreds of Trump supporters sit in DC jails cells for allegedly walking into the Capitol building while protesting results of the fraud-ridden 2020 election, Black Lives Matter activists will be awarded $70,000 after getting banned from the Iowa state capitol and fighting police officers.
BLM activists protested at the Iowa State Capitol last July against a law barring convicted felons from voting when they started attacking law enforcement officials. Following the altercation, Des Moines police arrested 17 of the protesters on charges of disorderly conduct or assault.
Citing a trespassing statute in state law, the Iowa State Patrol sent the protesters who were apprehended a letter banning them from setting foot on the Capitol grounds for up to a year.

A copy of letter warning protesters they are banned from Capitol grounds following altercation with law enforcement.

Five of the protesters represented by the American Civil Liberties Union then sued the Department of Public Safety Commissioner and three of state troopers arguing law enforcement officials could not legally ban people from public property.
In December, U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger sided with the protesters and prevented the state from enforcing the bans, contending the ban from the Capitol would “likely burden more speech than is necessary to achieve the significant state interests of preventing violence and ensuring public safety.”
A judge dismissed the charges against four of the protesters, Jalesha Johnson, Louise Bequeaith, Brandi Ramus, and Haley Jo Dikkers.
Brad Penna, who allegedly tugged at an officer’s arm as an arrest was being made, was found guilty and charged with assault. However, prosecutors reached a plea agreement with Penna on a lesser charge of “interference with official acts,” resulting in a $250 fine,” Des Moines Register reports.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of the five protesters against Department of Public Safety Commissioner Stephan Bayens and several state troopers arguing law enforcement officials could not legally ban people from the public property.
The attorney representing the group of BLM protesters argued they were not given a chance to defend themselves from the ban and weren’t convicted of any offenses to warrant the ban when it was imposed.
In a settlement approved by the State Appeal Board on Monday, the Department of Public Safety agreed to rescind all verbal and written bans to protest and awarded the five protesters $5,000 each. Their lawyer is to receive 45,000.
Individuals “may continue to enter and use the Iowa Capitol Complex on the same basis and under the same terms as any other law-abiding member of the public,” the settlement states.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department, with the consent of federal judges in Washington, D.C., continues to punish Americans for protesting the election of Biden.
Hundreds of people have been targeted by the government, , arrested in pre-dawn raids and hauled off to jail for after wandering toward or even into the Capitol Hundreds while attending President Trump’s speech in Washington, DC.
Democrats warn the events of January 6 were worse than the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which resulted in the deaths of 2,977 innocent people, and were equivalent to Pearl Harbor, which entered the U.S. into the Second World War that killed more than 400,000 Americans.
As they sit behind bars awaiting trials that won’t begin until next year, or until they accept a plea deal, their family members are outraged by the justice system’s brazen double standard.
“Anti-government” Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters are not only evidently exempt from the law, but they are now being rewarded breaking the law while our people sit in jail,” Deena Hackett, the wife of Jan. 6 protester who faces a twenty-year sentence for walking into the Capitol building for 10 minutes, told The Gateway Pundit.
“It’s absolutely crazy. I can’t even wrap my head around it,” she said. “Are the hundreds of Black Lives Matter activists facing years in prison after protesting – looting and trying to kill police officers – throughout the summer of 2020?
“They’re in prison alright – they are getting paid after being banned from the Capitol. Our people have been imprisoned for seven months.”
As the Gateway Pundit reported, Hackett’s husband, Joseph, a 50-year-old chiropractor, now faces a 20-year sentence in federal prison after “heinously” stepping in the Capitol Building for approximately ten minutes on Jan. 6.
According to court documents, prosecutors claim Hackett allegedly walked into the Capitol Rotunda towards the House of Representatives on Jan. 6 at 2:45 pm. He then left the Capitol at 2:54 pm.
Months later, on May 28, Joseph was apprehended as the FBI raided his home and he was indicted on federal charges of conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, aiding and abetting, destruction of government property and illegally entering a restricted building.
While the ACLU attorney profited significantly from representing the Black Lives Matter activists, the non-partisan non-profit couldn’t care less about civil rights of Trump supporters, Hackett explained.
“One of the [Jan. 6] family members wrote to the ACLU asking for legal assistance,” she said. “They sent her a letter in response, brushing her off. They do not want to help us.”
Hackett launched a crowdfunding campaign on GiveSendGo last month to support her husband and other political prisoners who can’t rely on support from their families, like Ryan Samsel, who was viciously beaten by a guard in the DC jail.
“He is now blind in one his eyes because of the injuries and he’s still sitting in there in a cell alone for 24 hours a day,” Hackett said. they don’t even let him talk to anybody.”
Evidently, illegal immigrants currently share legal immunity with Antifa and BLM.
“The only thing the political prisoners are given to eat are bologna and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,” Hackett said. “When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green toured a facility in California where illegal immigrants are detained, they were getting fed wonderful meals, they all had i-Pads, could text and facetime their families whenever they wanted — and here are American people who shouldn’t even be in jail right now.”
 
 
Another wtf moment!

Political prisoner Jake Lang is serving time in Washington DC for his actions on Jan. 6. Lang was trampled when Capitol Police pushed Trump supporters down the stairs outside the US Capitol.
Jake was buried under several people when the Capitol police started pushing protesters down the stairs. He was next to Rosanne Boyland who was killed by police when they continued to push Trump protesters on top of them. Jake saw Rosanne die. He saw it in her eyes. He saw Philip Anderson’s limp body. And he decided to take action.

Jake, who is a former wrestler, was able to save himself and then he saved Philip Anderson who he pulled to safety. His rescue of Philip Anderson was caught on video. The entire time he was pulling Philip to safety the police continued to beat protesters with sticks and spray them with pepper spray.

Jake saved Philip Anderson’s life. Then he went back and confronted the police who were still attacking the Trump supporters. It should be noted that the Trump crowd was entirely peaceful until the Capitol Police decided to fire flash grenades on the men, women, children and seniors who had gathered outside the US Capitol.
This was all captured on video and the fake news mainstream media refuses to report this truth.
On Thursday we spoke to Jake’s father Ned. This was a heartbreaking interview. Ned and his son are true American patriots. Now Jake is in isolation in a DC prison. Ned says the guards will lock up the political prisoners for days at a time. His son is abused by the guards. Another prisoner lost his eye in a beating.
This is inhumane. This is un-American. This is torture.
Here is our heartbreaking interview with Ned Lang, the father of Jake Lang.

The 1950s was a critical decade in China
for identifying and suppressing opposition and resistance. It began with ‘Speaking Bitterness‘ hearings against rural landlords in 1950 and ended with Mao’s attacks against critics and dissenters at the Lushan plenum in 1959.

In between, Mao and the CCP launched several campaigns to identify, suppress, ‘re-educate’ or eliminate their perceived enemies.

Zhen fan​

The first significant action was the Suppression of Counter-Revolutionaries campaign (or zhen fan). It was launched in March 1950, six months after the formation of the People’s Republic.

As the name suggests, this campaign sought to identify and wipe out remaining opposition to the CCP, including remnants of the Nationalist army and supporters of the Guomindang.

The suppression campaign was focused mainly on southern and eastern cities, where citizens had little experience of the communists and no reason to support them.


The zhen fan campaign began with the introduction of martial law in Chongqing, Sichuan province. Chongqing had served as Jiang Jieshi’s capital during World War II. Because of this, it housed many former Nationalists, soldiers and officials.

By the end of 1949, some of them had formed an insurgency and were attempting to sabotage CCP control of Chongqing by encouraging strikes and lawlessness. Party commanders in the city responded by seizing weapons, jailing 7,400 former Nationalists and executing 361 insurgents.


Drawing on the successes in Chongqing, Mao Zedong ordered the suppression campaign be extended to other cities. Mao urged CCP cadres to be less brutal than in Chongqing, as he believed the skills and cooperation of industrialists, business owners and urban middle classes were still needed.

Rather than using coercion, Mao bombarded the cities with propaganda that urged citizens to reject counter-revolutionary groups and ideas. Former Nationalists were demonised, depicted as ghoulish, fedora-wearing conmen, eager to steal and exploit.

The CCP government also banned dozens of political, religious and semi-religious organisations, including the Guomindang, Christian churches, Buddhist temples, Shanghai’s Green Gang and folk religions like Tongshanshe and Yiguandao. The leaders of these groups were exiled, imprisoned or executed.

The government also formed the People’s Tribunals in July 1950. Though ostensibly created to assist with land reform, the Tribunals also had the authority to deal with “despots, native bandits, special agents, counter-revolutionaries and criminals”, as well as those who “plot sabotage activities and undermine social security”.

After its relatively lukewarm start, the Suppression of Counter-revolutionaries campaign
escalated quickly at the end of 1951. This escalation was driven by CCP cadres, government propaganda and popular action.

One of the features of the Suppression campaign in 1951 were huge mass meetings, held in public spaces or stadiums and attended by thousands of people.

These meetings were urban versions of rural ‘Speak Bitterness’ hearings but tended to be deadlier for those who stood accused. Suspects were paraded, accused of counter-revolutionary activities or sympathies, intimidated into self-criticism then subjected to humiliation, beatings or execution. At some mass meetings, more than 200 people were shot.


According to Mao, 700,000 “class enemies” were executed during the Suppression campaign. Some historians consider this figure a significant underestimation of the death toll.

According to human rights activist Zhou Jingwen, around half a million Chinese people committed suicide, many driven by shame, humiliation or coercion. More than one million people were also imprisoned or held in forced labour camps.

A court ordered a West Virginia man who was charged with assaulting Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick released from jail.
A US Appeals Court on Monday ordered the release of George Tanios.
“The three-judge panel determined that the district court had “clearly erred” when it determined that George Pierre Tanios could not be released into the community without risk to safety.” The Hill reported.
In March, two men were arrested for assault on police officer Brian D. Sicknick, who died after Jan. 6 Capitol riot from a stroke following the riots.

Julian Elie Khater, 32, of Pennsylvania, and George Pierre Tanios, 39 of Morgantown, were accused of assault.
According to the far left Washington Post: “Khater and Tanios are charged with nine counts including assaulting Sicknick, a U.S. Capitol Police officer identified as C. Edwards and a D.C. police officer identified as B. Chapman with a deadly weapon. They are also charged with civil disorder and obstruction of a Congressional proceeding. The charges are punishable by up to 20 years in prison.”
Tanios is one of hundreds of January 6 protesters who were ordered detained pending trial.
The Justice Department is purposely slow-rolling the January 6 cases in order to keep hundreds of non-violent Trump supporters in jail.
