A Letter from the DC Gulag

Andrew Anglin
November 4, 2021

The following letter from 1/6 protester and political prisoner Nathaniel
DeGrave, a podcaster who entered the Capitol, was published last week.
In it, DeGrave outlines the conditions of the jail, describing inhumane
conditions which amount to torture.

You should read the whole thing.

This is incredible, but hardly unbelievable.

We've been hearing these stories for 11 months now. It's hardly
different from what you'd expect. At least it's no different than what
I'd expect. This system is evil and satanic, it is run by Jews who
deputize the blacks in their sadistic agenda. So of course they're going
to starve people, beat them, flood them with poop.

It's amazing that the jail is staffed with African immigrants. They
clearly came to the determination that black Americans might be too
likely to feel sorry for the inmates, so they needed a foreign group to
brutalize them. It's much, much easier to dehumanize people who you have
zero cultural or linguistic connection to. This has been discussed a lot
going all the way back to the old shortwave radio days before the
internet in regards to the Democrats planning to send in UN
peacekeepers, or at least staff the US military with non-Americans.

With the censorship, not nearly enough people are talking about what is
going on in DC. Donald Trump himself refused to talk about it for many
months after the event. It doesn't really matter that he's talking about
it some now, because no one hears anything he says.

With Charlottesville, when they called people "white supremacists,"
mainstream Republicans apparently didn't think it applied to them. I'm
not sure who they thought the Charlottesville demonstrators were, but
they somehow managed to rationalize that they were different somehow.
Four years later, after nonstop bombardment, every white person in
America knows that "white supremacist" simply means "middle or working
class white person." If normal Republicans knew what was happening in
the DC jail, they would understand that this same treatment is planned
for them, and they might start taking things a bit more seriously.

Thankfully, Tucker Carlson is talking about it. On Wednesday, he had on
Joseph McBride, a lawyer for several of the accused who has been vocal
about the fact that this is a purely political prosecution, and these
people are being tortured.

After the above letter was published, a judge ordered the jail
investigated. McBride says that the city sent in people to do a major
cleanup job in 24 hours, painting the walls and fixing the water and
food situation.

Bizarrely, when the inspectors went to the regular DC jail, they said
conditions were so bad that the prisoners have to be moved. But
according to an article this week from the Washington Post, the special
political prison is fine and not filled with poop, so the political
prisoners will remain there.

Never in American history have people been treated like this in America.
The closest thing would be the Japanese being put in internment camps
during World War II, but those were legitimate camps in California, not
isolation cells.

A normal person believes that no one would be this cruel. But the Jews
will find people this cruel.

Understand: the conditions described in this letter are only the
beginning of the sadistic Jewish torture agenda. They are setting up
concentration camps where much worse things will happen.

You all need to take this seriously. This is what awaits all of us.
Whereas I've tried to keep you all safe, tried to get you to use
security online so you won't be traced, that doesn't really matter
anymore. If you don't take the vax, you're being traced, even if you've
managed to keep a good security profile online.

Brutal imprisonment and torture is the fate that awaits all of us if we
do not take the proper measures to ensure our safety and survival.

If you're still living in some kind of haze or delusion, and haven't
realized what is going on in this country, you need to snap out of it.
This is real and it is happening and you are next.

Copy and paste the letter and share it with everyone you know. Print it
out and show it to people. We need people to be aware of how serious of
a situation we are in.

Why, is it about Android phones?

Bad start, many of us are not USAians.

It's unknown how many of the people that stormed the U.S. Capitol used
Android phones and how many used iOS phones.

Most of them have probably since bought Umidigi A9 Pro phones, which are
being marketed as "Freedom Phones." It's a low-end Android phone that
sells for around $160 from Aliexpress
<https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001468394552.html> or Banggood
<https://www.banggood.com/buy/umidigi-a9-pro.html> and that sells for
about $500 from Freedom Phone
<https://www.freedomphone.com/products/the-freedom-phone>.

There's a lot of money to be made selling low-end products at high
prices if you can find the right buyers. I think that you might get a
free MyPillow pillow with every phone, plus a choice of screen savers,
Donald Trump, Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, Ron DeSantis, Marjorie Taylor
Greene, Sidney Powell, or Matt Gaetz.

There is no iPhone equivalent.

Based on my one experience buying from Banggood, I wouldn't buy anything
from them or Aliexpress (somehow involved) that I wasn't willing to
throw away without attempting to get a refund. $100 phablet which did
not recognize any phone SIM. They insisted we return it ($60) in order
to get a refund. We only bought the thing to use as a BIG phone.
Ultimately the credit card company refunded our payment, but that was
touch and go.

It costs them nothing to send from China to the US, but going the other
way is very different.

It isn't touch and go if you pay using paypal.

Paypal pays for the return too if you sign up for that.

Actually, that's not really a location. He's in the DC Central Detention
Facility, probably awaiting a move to a federal facility.

CDF is a pretty nasty place to be, in part due to a lot of prison changes
passed by Republicans in the eighties and nineties. As Newt Gingrich says,
"prison isn't supposed to be fun." Even so, it's a pretty safe place even
if not a very comfortable one, especially when compared with the old Lorton
Reformatory which used to be the main holding facility for DC. Guys like
Nathan would have been beat up and raped within minutes of arrival at Lorton.
They'll probably make it through the CDF without any injuries, which is a
lot better than prisoners in a lot of other places can say.

They still have a chance to wind up at one of the privately-owned
facilities that provide contract prisons to the Federal government, after
their sentencing. If they think the CDF is bad, just wait.

Nobody wants to pay money to make prisons into places that actually reform
people, and so this is what we get. What they are seeing right now is just
the tip of the iceberg. Welcome to consequences of the War on Drugs!

Because no matter how much you spend that doesn’t actually happen.

Not even possible with kids jails essentially because
only the worst of the kids end up in jail.

Yeah, I would only buy relatively low-value items from Aliexpress. I've
only gotten screwed over on a few low-value purchases that either were
never delivered, were defective, or they sent the wrong item. Actually
the items I've bought that were in the range of $80-100 were always
delivered.

With Aliexpress, don't buy from any merchant rated under 98% positive.
