IN-DEPTH: J6 Attorneys Sound Alarm on Federal Government’s Treatment of American Citizens
Epoch Times ^ | 5/3/23 | Matt McGregor

Posted on 05/03/2023 7:30:32 PM PDT by CFW

Contrary to the narrative that pervaded the media the evening of Jan. 6, 2021, what attorney Michael Hamilton experienced before he left the rally at the U.S. Capitol Building was a day of “peace and prayer.”

Hamilton, who also attended seminary many years ago, held a worship service on the front lawn of the Capitol building.

“People were singing hymns and with their hands held in the air praising God,” Hamilton told The Epoch Times.

Everywhere he went, he said, there were “deep-hearted patriots.”

Then, three 15-passenger white vans arrived flanked by squad cars that Hamilton said he later confirmed to belong to Antifa, a far-left extremist group.

What Hamilton began to observe was a different, aggressive energy flooding into the crowd shortly thereafter.

All morning people were just walking, but this later infusion was racing and frenzied, he said, and trying to work others into a frenzy.

“These new protesters were dressed like Trump supporters, but they were not Trump supporters,” Hamilton said. “They could disguise their appearance, but not their spirits. They were angry. It was time to leave.”

My computer connection is so slow that I can read most of the article before the pop-up appears letting me know it is for subscribed members only). What the left is doing to these defendants is indefensible and the prosecutors and judges that are participating in such should all be disbarred and arrested for violating the defendants' Constitutional rights. I hope readers here either have a subscription to Epoch Times are have "one more" free article to read, for this is an extremely important issue which all conservatives should be aware of in our country.

“The list of constitutional amendments protecting the rights of citizens has lost its meaning to the federal government agencies like the DOJ, Geyer said, prompting both Geyer and Hamilton to “step into the breach.”

Geyer, who worked in several divisions of the DOJ for 21 years, said the law enforcement tactics used against foreign combatants are now being used against American citizens.

It’s the story no one is telling, Geyer said.

The FBI is executing unconstitutional search warrants on people with misdemeanors and keeping them in jail without the right to a speedy trial based on the contrived use of laws applied to circumstances that are either taken out of context or simply didn’t happen.

“The search warrants are out of control,” Geyer said. “There will be 20 to 30 agents conducting the search. Suspects—husbands and wives—have reported opening their front door and being covered in red dots.”

Exaggerating the reality, federal prosecutors take hyperbolic statements made in texts or on social media posts such as “We have to fight” and twist them into an exhortation to engage in terrorism, he said.”

“The DOJ has taken license with the Constitution to the extent that sorting through its duplicity has become “a jumbled mess,” Geyer said.

“It’s terrifying to be an American right now,” Geyer said, adding that the country may already be lost.

A Decades-Old Plot

Both Geyer and Hamilton agreed: the building blocks for the foundation of the Marxist plot began to be laid decades ago, with one of its goals being to target children through the education system.

“John Dewey, who created the Dewey Decimal System and is considered—or called, at least, in a lot of circles—to be the father of modern education, said 50 years ago that we need to dumb down the reading requirements for high school because readers are thinkers and thinkers are an anathema to a collectivist society,” Hamilton said.

To counter this move, Hamilton said a ground-up approach would be to defund the Department of Education and homeschool children.

“We need more homeschooling co-ops where they are being taught real values and not gaslighted and brainwashed,” Hamilton said.

Though the country could be lost, Geyer said, he’s holding onto some hope that it can still be saved.

“There’s not a clear path here,” Geyer said. “There’s too many systems and funding mechanisms. Everything has been rewired.”

The question for Geyer is, can enough people be deprogrammed to stave off those who have been brainwashed to the point of no return?

‘Live Not by Lies’

For Hamilton, no matter what happens, the solution is to persist in speaking the truth, especially in those places that were noticeably shut down in a time when the truth had been hijacked, he said.

He pointed to a paper written by Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn called “Live Not by Lies,” (pdf) in which Solzhenitsyn warned against citizens abandoning the truth in exchange for “today’s modest ration of food.”

“He said if you don’t give a lie a home, it dies out,” Hamilton said. “He calls everyone to simply speak the truth where they stand when confronted with a lie and say, ‘No, that’s not true. Let me tell you what’s real.’ If everyone does this instead of cowering and hiding, the lies die out, the evil loses its power, and the truth begins to prosper.”

The Epoch Times contacted the DOJ for comment.

A day of prayer & peace had Ted Cruz hiding in a closet and Josh Hawley scadaddling for cover. Must have been wild prayers.

I'll make an observation:

Do you want to be a Fed directed to take action against an individual or group where the basis of the action is not grounded in law or the Constitution, especially if the prevailing sentiment is that if that individual/group knows that laying down their arms results in the "Jan 6" treatment?

If I were a Fed, I'd call in sick. Covid is a thing you know...

If you were a Fed, you’d be laid off, fired, reprimanded or otherwise done away with and replaced by someone much like the Feds now in position.

It’s amazing to me, and a travesty, that there are only a couple of GOP pols who care at all about these POWs. What is WRONG with them?

I agree, the House should cease all business, and demand the Capitol jail be emptied tomorrow.
Not one vote, not one bill, not one meeting, until all J6’ers are free.

I’ve noticed you seem to have some great “one-liners” while never responding to the subject of the article you are commenting upon. Also your “Cruz hiding and Hawley ‘scadaddling’” narrative has been proven not to be true.

The article I posted is not about Cruz nor Hawley (and neither are mentioned in the article) but instead about the violations of citizens Constitutional rights by the prosecutors in D.C.

Many January 6th defendants with only misdemeanor charges continue to sit in jail to this day. All after two years after the protest. Doesn’t that concern you at least a bit?

Or, are you just one of the old leftists using one of the accounts made by democrats years ago that is used to come to FR and pretend to be a “conservative” moderate voice?

Based upon the comments I recall seeing from you in the past, I suspect you are a ‘cut and paste’ ‘one-liner’ democrat Bill and Hillary Clinton supporting troll.

“They are just doing their job as directed and following orders, you know.”

What bothers me is that some commenters here are fine with that excuse.

“Never forget” has been forgotten in just a few decades.

Because a majority of these gopee politicians only care about staying in office so they can continue getting rich off the taxpayers.

The ones who claim they care, are more than likely the ones designated by their uniparty masters to throw us lowly peons a bone to keep us quiet for a few days.

“Change my mind”.

I can’t think of a sound argument to disagree with your conclusion. Therefore, your conclusion must stand as the truth.
