Washington D.C. Metropolis of Gold
Letters from the DC gulag
By Reed Okay. Christensen
At present it’s precisely three years because the historic January sixth, 2021 “Cease the Steal” rally. In lower than per week from right this moment, I will probably be chained for transport from the DC gulag to a Washington D.C. District court docket to be sentenced for my actions on that day. 4 months in the past, a D.C. jury discovered me responsible on all prices put in opposition to me by the DOJ – together with three felony assaults that every include a most of eight years incarceration.
After being locked up within the J6 cell block, the questions the opposite prisoners requested of me about my case had been: what number of assaults are you going through? Are degree A or degree B (with a lethal weapon)? For the primary couple of months, I’d say, “degree A, three assaults.” However over time, this started to strike me as unusual. It is because I by no means noticed any protester in my space south of the west steps assault an officer, and I by no means noticed an officer assault a protester. I acknowledged as a lot within the e-book I wrote about my experiences round Jan 6 and acknowledged so in quite a few interviews earlier than being despatched to jail.
This dichotomy struck me as a really attention-grabbing phenomenon. One way or the other the judicial wizards of Washington had reworked an outdated man with dangerous knees making an attempt to cross a police line, and failing to take action after being shoved again, right into a report back to the choose for sentencing that makes use of the phrase assault six instances in describing my actions. What’s much more astounding is that they bought me, the man who was there and who is aware of what he did and what he meant to do, to make use of the phrase assault to explain what an neutral observer would name bumping.
How did they try this?
Sooner or later throughout my sentencing, the choose will in all probability ask if I realized something from being locked up. He could also be stunned once I reply that I’ve realized about alchemy. Readers will keep in mind alchemy as the trouble undertaken within the Center Ages to make use of magic (I.e. chemical reactions) within the effort to alter base metals reminiscent of lead into gold. At present we perceive that altering electron orbits via numerous chemical compounds may by no means change the nucleus of the steel. However the place the outdated wizards failed with steel, the brand new wizards of Washington have succeeded with the regulation.
The alchemy of the regulation begins by ensuring the proper incantations or statutes are used. Now not do legal guidelines undergo the outdated strategy of elected legislators holding hearings, debating, and compromising. The work of making well-thought-out legal guidelines that observe the spirit of the structure and which match with the citizenry with all its range won’t yield the proper alchemy recipe. At present our statutes arrive in Congress already written in prepackaged parcels of 6,000 pages and are saved safely locked within the basement of the capitol. The statute is revealed solely hours earlier than it votes to keep away from all that fractions and messy debate and comprise which might destroy an alchemy spell. Every legislator then represents their constituency by voting as directed by their get together leaders.
With legislators out of the way in which and was rubber stamps, who’s going to craft the wanted authorized incantations? To not fear. It seems that Washington D.C. is chock filled with 1000’s and 1000’s of individuals extremely educated in writing statutes which might be amenable to alchemy – the legal professionals of the Okay Road lobbyist and authorities companies such because the DOJ.
I’ll element the alchemy strategy of the DOJ since I’m conversant in it, having simply spent all my retirement funds from a lifetime of labor on two and a half years of authorized charges going through them in court docket. This spell begins with fastidiously worded statutes reminiscent of 18 US Code 111. Its title reads as follows, “Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding sure officers.” This can be a severe statute a few severe felony. It comes with eight years imprisonment and a $250,000 high quality. (As a degree of comparability, a homicide conviction within the U.S. averages eight years of incarceration.) However what do the phrases resist and impede imply in a statute about felony assault?
It seems they imply no matter a DOJ lawyer tells a D.C. jury – which is to say, no matter that lawyer needs it to imply. That is the magic of Washington D.C.’s authorized alchemy; turning Impede (lead) into Assault (gold).
Let me stroll you thru this magical course of utilizing my case. My sentencing report back to the choose reads, “The defendant started to assault Officer Robert English.” On the witness stand Officer English didn’t keep in mind interacting with me. So the DOJ prosecuted performed a body-cam video that confirmed me bumping into his again after I used to be shoved again towards the road after making an attempt to cross. Within the video, Officer English doesn’t change his stance or transfer his arms to take care of my “assault.” He appears behind for a couple of seconds and sees an outdated man blinded by mace stumbling round, then he appears ahead once more. That’s it.
The DOJ lawyer presses on, asking, “Officer English, wasn’t the execution of your obligation to carry the police line impeded by the defendant’s motion?” In different phrases, did my bump momentarily distract him? Underneath this definition, Officer English says, “Sure, I used to be impeded.” A sworn officer of the regulation simply advised a D.C. jury that he was impeded. (Impede – that’s lead.)
Now the ability of Washington D.C. alchemy kicks in. The D.C. jury convicts me of impeding Officer English since he was distracted. However the statute 18 US code 111 says, “Assault, Resist, or Impede” with no distinction amongst them. Due to this fact, I’m now convicted below a felony assault statute and face a doable eight-year sentence. (Assault – that’s gold.) As a bonus, in all its experiences and communication about my case, the DOJ can now seek advice from me as a felon convicted of assault.
As I’ve thought of this within the D.C. gulag, I’ve puzzled if the typical American is aware of you will get an eight-year felony conviction for distracting a D.C. cop from doing his job. In different phrases, going as much as an officer on a police line and distracting him by asking for instructions to the closest toilet may be was a life-destroying felony equal to homicide. Who says America is delicate on crime?
In a short time, I’ll know the outcomes of my sentencing listening to. What the choose will wish to know will not be about alchemy, however about my perspective on the “not political” problems with Joe Biden’s legitimacy and 2020 election corruption. Frankly, I’ve not modified my thoughts on these subjects after being locked up after my “not political” trial. (This obstinance is a typical trait of the “not political” prisoners right here within the D.C. gulag.) Three years of collective expertise of the D.C. Gulag prisoners says that displaying any defiance on these points after being convicted will add years to my sentence.
Oh properly. I’m who I’m. I’m 65 years outdated and I’m not going to alter my politics. The authorized wizards of Washington have coated me with sufficient gold so the choose can throw me within the slammer for years, however inside my nucleus has not modified. As a response to a stolen election, I’d nonetheless attempt to break that police line to wave the American flag on the steps of the Capitol.
In memoriam:
The writer invitations each American to pause right this moment to mirror on the a whole lot of individuals whose lives have been crushed by a rogue FBI, weaponized DOJ, and corrupt D.C. courts.
Please particularly keep in mind the J6 attendees who died by the hands of Capitol police; Ashli Babbitt, and Rosanne Boyleland, and those that died because of the heavy-handed police response; Benjamin Phillips, and Kevin Greason.
