Dear fellow Americans:

I never thought I'd write a letter like this, but we’re living in very different times. This is my cry for help.

My name is Nathan DeGrave, and as a non violent participant at the Jan 6th rally, I’ve spent the last 9 months detained...............

How can this be happening in America? How can we be silent about this? How can the courts allow the 8th amendment against curel and unusual punishment be so ignored? You want to know why so many Americans are ready to fight? Because we can no longer get justice in the legal system and when that is gone, only one recourse remains.

I’m actually surprised Twitter has not deleted this cry for help since they have a history of trying to cover up the atrocities of this government.

Because people aren't willing to make the personal sacrifice. Today's American would have lost swiftly to the British (or never fought in the first place).

“... Because we can no longer get justice in the legal system and when that is gone, only one recourse remains.”

We have NO representation. The Dems want them locked up and forgotten, and the Reps do too. It’s just the Dems are upfront about it.

This is going to get a lot worse.

Did you read the rest of the letter? In order to read it you have to be signed up for Twitter.

How about just simply posting the rest of the letter here instead of blogpimping for twatter?

Are we at the point that we must resist to death when arrested?

All it would take is one US Federal Judge to issue a release or transfer order. This would be backed up with a dozen or so US Marshals who would arrest anyone who interferes.

But we (this nation) does not have the back bone for that.

“No big time lawyer wants to kill their career”

Agreed.

I also think that’s why Trump had lawyers who did not do a good job representing him.

How can the courts allow the 8th amendment against cruel and unusual punishment be so ignored?

Since no trial date has been set, this is also a violation of his sixth amendment right to a trial without delay.

In other words,

“doing the right thing” takes a back seat to $$$$$

(and that’s the problem)

To: All; y'all; et al; lurk; no one in particular; noone; everyone; you

Dear fellow Americans:

I never thought I’d write a letter like this, but we’re living in very different times. This is my cry for help.

My name is Nathan DeGrave, and as a non violent participant at the Jan 6th rally, I’ve spent the last 9 months detained

as a political prisoner in pod C2B at the DC DOC…otherwise known as DC’s Gitmo.
The conditions here for Jan 6ers have been inhumane. In fact, some inmates are even begging to be transferred to GUANTANAMO BAY, where even THEY have more acceptable standards.
Class action LAWSUITS are being filed against this prison; and even the ACLU has gotten involved. Senators Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene have since attempted to gain access to this facility and inspect the conditions of the jail, only to be denied.

The vile filth of what has become our daily life is being illegally HIDDEN from the members of OUR OWN CONGRESS.

So…let me tell you about what me and many of the other Jan 6ers have been experiencing in DC’s Gitmo. It is my hope that with MEDIA EXPOSURE

and the awareness of the American public, that SOMETHING may be done and this never happens to anyone ever again.

OUR CONDITIONS

For the first 120 days in DC’s Gitmo, Jan 6ers experienced DAILY LOCKDOWNS for 23-24 HOURS before being allowed to leave our small 120 sq. ft cell.

The PHYSICAL and MENTAL ANGUISH that results from this kind of SEVERE ISOLATION has caused many people to go on a RAPID mental decline.

As a result, a large percentage of us are HEAVILY MEDICATED with anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs, which helps to cope with the

psychological and mental ABUSE we endure.

Many times, the little rec we DO receive is STRIPPED AWAY if our cell isn’t up to the standards of the guard on duty. This changes from day to day. Jan 6ers have lost rec time and out of cell activity ANY TIME news interviews about

the jail are aired on TV, people speak up about our conditions, or rallies are held in our name. We’ll probably have a lockdown upon the publishing of this letter. So I have already warned those I know in advance..

Masks are WEAPONIZED and used against us, even though we NEVER

leave the facility. Officers have walked in with the SOLE INTENTION of needing to write 20-30 disciplinary reports against Jan 6ers, which adversely effects our chances of release and causes loss of privileges, phone time and commissary. Masks need to be covering both

the nose and mouth AT ALL TIMES or we are threatened and locked down in our cells. Jan 6ers are always respectful to the employees around us, but C.Os maintain the need to invent reasons for discipline.

PRIVILEGED LEGAL DOCUMENTS have been CONFISCATED and gone missing from

And the jail MUST PAY for what they are doing to this country’s citizens.

As a result of this unlawful detainment the last 9 months, I have lost everything. The successful business I spent 13 years of my life working on, my apartment in Las Vegas,

social media accounts with a lifetime of memories…you name it.

The government has essentially CANCELLED ME. Not only that, but following the arrest, my best friend of 12 years robbed my apartment, stole my cat, and hacked my personal Instagram with 100,000+ followers.

Since then, I often go between feelings of hopefulness and moments of depression. I wonder if I can ever recover from this, but I have to remind myself to never give up.

There are major medical complications I now struggle with as a result of the jail’s neglect of my health e

since being here.

If there is any way I hope to recover, my only hope are the ones who are reading this. I was on top of the world once upon a time, and that life seems now only like a distant memory.

If there’s anything you can do to help, I would appreciate anything at all.

Inmates here are being extorted with lack of nutrition, forcing me to spend most of what’s left on commissary which I can no longer afford.

I need desperate help with my legal expenses and just help staying alive in here with commissary and all the expenses

I still have on the outside as my livelihood and life has been stripped away from me. Thank you for any her you can afford, even if it is a few dollars it goes a long way in here.

Sincerely and with love,

Nathaniel DeGrave

The USA, under biden, has created gulags in which political prisoners are tortured and deprived of their rights. This is political persecution and prosecution.

The current biden administration is guilty of crimes against humanity and the deprivation of civil liberties from the citizens.

Solitary without any trial or reason is a crime.

The corrupt media has not mentioned any of it, but it went wild with guantanamo torture under Bush.

The government is committing a crime, and is supported by the media.

And the ignorant public knows nothing about it.

“How can this be happening in America?”

Because nobody is getting him out.

America’s Gulag

Now they can’t be released, because it would be too embarrassing for the DC deep state.
