The Sheriff of J6

22 years have passed since the terrorist attack on our Nation. Please take a moment of silence for the brave men and women who lost their lives that day and for those who are still affected by it. 

Let us not forget about how we felt that day. How we became united as Americans. Let us not forget the innocent lives taken, or those who willingly went in to rescue others. 

Enjoy your life, your family, and your freedom and honor those who gave it their all.

Never Surrender, Never Forget. May God bless America.

9/11/23

As we commemorate this Independence Day, let us honor the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives for our freedom. We should always remember the courageous individuals who risked everything to build a remarkable nation. Our founding fathers faced perilous consequences, fighting valiantly for our independence from Britain. Throughout the generations, countless fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters have fought to preserve a free America. Personally, I take pride in being an American, even through persecution. May America be blessed by God, and may our cherished freedoms endure. Let us all embody the spirit of liberty and be Sons of Liberty.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. 

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. 

Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. 

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. 

Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.

Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’

Let us call upon the courageous individuals of America to rise up and stand for the values that our country was founded upon. It is crucial that we have dedicated advocates who will defend the principles of liberty, justice, and equality that have shaped our nation. Together, we can work towards a brighter future and ensure that the spirit of America continues to flourish. 

I had the honor of testifying on behalf of Colton, all January 6th defendants, and the entire January 6th community at the first ever Republican led January 6th Field Hearing held at The Capitol on June 13, 2023. My deepest gratitude goes to the Representatives who led the hearing and played a crucial role in shedding light on these critical issues: Gaetz, Norman, Gosar, Greene, Boebert, and Nehls.

Normally on National Police Week I would naively thank every person who continues to put the badge on day after day. This years National Police Week is a little different. 

Here’s my perspective from the last 28 months: 

Thank you, Colt, for your selfless service to every community you impacted. Life Saving Awards. Ceremonies. Honorable mentions. You are a hero to so many. Regardless of what ‘they’ say about you now, we know the truth. You were the only officer to try to save Rosanne Boyland’s life on that dreadful day.

For the three LEO’s (that I can think of) that have stood beside Colt and walked through the fire with us regardless of the ridicule you received early on, thank you. It’s easier to bow out and be a coward than it is to stand firm.

For those who hide behind a badge but won’t stand up for your own brother being persecuted for doing what any man of dignity would’ve done, WELL … I have nothing to say to you. You’ve shown your true colors.

For those officers who did heinous acts of violence and waged war on innocent American citizens on January 6th, TURN YOUR BADGES IN. You don’t represent us!

For the very few (two that I can think of) officers who tried to de-escalate the chaos going on around them on January 6th, THANK YOU. I pray that you also stand up on the right side of history.

For the true, heroic officers across this once great nation who continue to put their lives on the line day after day, leave their loved ones without knowing their fate, and choose to stand in the gap for their communities and fellow Americans every day; WE HONOR YOU!

Today makes 20 months (608 days) behind bars. And what do I wake up to this morning? A phone call from another individual that was housed in the same unit as Colt telling me that he was moved, again. SEVEN TIMES. This is the seventh time he has been moved. What does that mean? He has to start over every single time: new clothes, new hygiene items, new food, new communication system. You name it, he has to start all over again. It is called 'diesel therapy', look it up. It is described as "the cruelest aspect of being a federal inmate. It has been alleged that some inmates are deliberately moved from facility to facility as diesel therapy." As Wikipedia would say, "Diesel therapist is a form of punishment in the United States which prisoners are shackled and then transported for days or weeks." Mind you, that the government can take you without warning. Your family won't know where you are. Your attorney won't know where you are. This entire system is broken. Their ultimate goal is to break these individuals in every way possible: mentally (solitary confinement for almost two years, not allowed to go outside, not allowed to communicate with the outside world, the list goes on and on), emotionally (not allowing visitation for two years, bullying and intimidation tactics by the guards, etc.), financially (diesel therapy: new shoes $48.18, new electronic device $100, new clothes ~$55, food ~$100, phone call $8, etc.), physically (abuse, abuse, abuse), spiritually (denied religious services for two years). This is the reality of the unknown from day to day. This is the reality of being guilty until proven innocent in the BROKEN injustice system.

Today is the day our lord Jesus was sacrificed for our sins. Today our Lord took the pain of the world and the sting of betrayal by His people. During the agonizing hours of the cross, during the ultimate punishment, suffocating and choking on his own breath, Jesus forgave us. With his dying breath, He still cared for the ones who put him in this position. 

When Jesus died, his followers hid in fear, being next on the cross, but on Sunday my Lord rose from the grave! He is the Living God! But, in the meantime, while we were hiding, Jesus was still fighting for us. He went ahead of us and cleared the way, defeating death. While we focus on our own lives, our Lord is looking out for us. While we worry about our problems, our Lord is defeating them. 

Let’s not forget this weekend that our Lord resurrected from the grave. That we can do all things through Him who strengthens us. Remember when you feel persecuted, when you feel like giving up, or when you have no idea what to do next, Jesus went ahead and cleared the way. 

May God bless you and this nation. 

-Colt

For the first time in 597 days, I was able to see Colt in person, through glass for thirty minutes. Lots of tears, lots of laughter. ♥️

I saw a man who has been put through the fire, but has not been burnt. It’s only making him stronger. Someone who will do whatever it takes. He will come out a fighter. 🙏🏼

Colt, on that day everything we knew faded out of view. We were scared and prepared for the unknown. It stole a piece of you. If I could be a hero, I would save you from the pain and carry all the weight but I know that you are brave. Don't let anyone steal your fire. Show them who you are. Do not stop no matter what because you are going make it. Fight on, fighter. 🛡

Brothers and sisters, 

Now is the time to take a stand! Now is the time to make your voices heard! We know by now the tyrannical DOJ and Government will not stop in stripping us from our freedoms! We must speak out against this injustice among us! If they can do it to me, they can do it to you! Stand up for your freedoms before you don't have any left! 

Take courage my brothers and sisters! Stand for something, or you will fall for anything! This is the Storm and the Storm has its purpose! Courage is what sets us ALL free! We the People of these United States will be heard! Do not fear being locked away. Take a stand for your fellow man! Look at your children, your husband, your wife. . . How do you want them to remember you? What's going to be your legacy? How will you make this Nation a better place? 

Let them hear your voice! Let FREEDOM RING! We will no longer be silent. We will no longer take this abuse of our fellow man. We will stand on this hill. Remember, courage is not the absence of fear, its knowing something is more important than you and taking action in the face of fear. This Storm has its purpose. Hard times create great men. Let's be great! Let's be heard! Let's be FREE! God bless you and this great nation!

QUOD VULT DEUS,

Colt McAbee

Brothers and Sisters, 

Thank you for your ongoing support. This is our year! What was done in the darkness is coming to light! We are seeing this being played out in front of our eyes. The TRUTH will set us free.  

I appreciate every single one of you. May Our LORD rain blessings upon you. Although this journey has not been easy, I do feel like the LORD is preparing me for something greater than I can ever fathom. 

This year, my New Year's Resolution is to give thanks in ALL things! When times get rough and when times are great. He is the same God in the valleys as He is on the mountain tops. I encourage you adopt this resolution as well. Though I may be imprisoned, through His grace, I am free. May God bless all of you. Remember my chains. 

Quod Vult Deus ( as God wills), 

Colt

As we close out the end of the year, I think back on the letters I’ve received from Colt over the last 16 months. This is by far one of my favorites. You see this fight isn’t just about the nefarious government, it’s about the evilness of this world. It even creeps in on the relationships you thought were unbreakable, but in reality you were the unbreakable one. Colt said it best, “[they] abandoned me because [they] are not worthy to stand by me when I rise.” Many people think we should be so upset at this travesty in our lives, but honestly we are very thankful. This storm has pruned the relationships in our lives and taught us valuable lessons.

Stop wasting time and energy on people who don’t water your garden. In life, people are put on this Earth and come into our lives for a reason. When you are a person who handles stress and is a caring and giving person, people lean on you to “water their garden” so they can keep growing. But when you finally need those people to help you and stand in your corner, they fall flat in that department. If you continue to water their garden they will only come back to you when their life isn’t good and that’s exhausting for your spirit. Don’t let them come in instead be open to kind souls that water your garden. Thank you to the souls that have watered our garden through this valley. We remind ourselves that joy comes in the morning.

"During this time of incarceration, I have struggled to come to terms on why some people decided to 'choose themselves'. In my time of need, when I needed you most in my life, you chose to walk away. I now understand. It took a lot of praying and thinking this past year. You abandoned me because you are not worthy to stand by me when I rise. You became scared of what society would say about you for supporting someone like me. Someone who has always been there for you, took care of you, and literally gave you the shirt off my back. You called me 'friend', 'brother' and 'son', yet when you heard the fake news and lies spread about me, you believed it and refused to hear my story. Have I not proven my loyalty to you? You surely have proven your disloyalty to me. Don't think that I don't hear your whispers through these walls. While you are with your families, I will be here in jail. I hope you cherish your time with them, and I hope you think of my suffering every single day. I will tell my children and grandchildren of you. You will always be a source for what not to do for your 'family'. In reality, your abandonment and disloyalty has helped me grow. I've grown closer to God and my wife, you know the one you never check to see how she's doing. At the end of the day, I choose to forgive you. For me to move on, for me to heal, I forgive your actions. I forgive, but never will I forget. In other words, just like you, I choose myself."

This man might be bent but he refuses to break. Everything that has happened in his life has before this prepared him for this exact moment. God is near. We see Him. Faith does not operate in the realm of possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man's power ends. 

"God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs." Matthew 5:10

The TRUTH is getting out! Little by little the narrative is changing. What we've been screaming since day one is finally coming to light. The LORD said, things done in darkness will be revealed in the light. Thank you all for standing firm, thank you for your prayers, and thank you for your support! 

 

As for me, I am doing as well as I can be regarding my circumstances. A lot of things have happened this past year, and I've learned a lot during this period of my life. I'm ready for this chapter to end and a new and brighter chapter to begin. Trial is set for September 2023, be there! Pack the court with support!  

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Patriots. I'll be home soon enough!

On September 5, 2022 around 11:30am my phone started to blow up. A feeling no one likes and took me right back to that very dreadful day in August of last year. I was receiving messages from other J6ers, calls from J6ers family members, and people that I didn’t even know telling me that Colt was attacked, beaten, assaulted by Lieutenant Lancaster in the pod, while Colt was handcuffed behind his back. Five minutes prior: the Correctional Officer opened the cell door to let Colt get his morning medication from the nurse. He walked approximately 25 feet to the nurse, was alone and distanced. Lancaster grabbed him and then sprayed him directly in the face. Why? He wasn’t wearing a COVID mask. She sprayed him a second time at point blank range while he was cuffed, tackled him and hit him. When the pod, rightfully got up in arms about an unjustified assault; the ERT team, (which is this jail's version of SWAT), came running in to assault the rest of them. Several of the officers were grabbing people by their necks and jamming mace canisters against their faces as they shoved people into their cells so they could rough handle Colt without interference. He was taken to the hole, then returned to C2B because of his status of protected custody. Not only because he is a J6er but he is a law enforcement officer as well. Except he isn't in his cell anymore. They isolated him and the others to cells where the pod cameras don't reach. Remind you of Ryan Samsel? He was left in a cell covered in the spray for over eight hours of torture, unable to de-contaminate and rinse off his burning skin. This Lieutenant has been banned previously from their pod for her dirty, nasty behavior towards them. Calling them white supremacists and terrorists. From one of the men: Please tell the world about this terrible situation. She needs to be fired. She does nothing but cause problems every time she comes in here. It’s not right. Please tell everyone you can we are all on a hunger strike. The world needs to know how bad were being treated! As for Colt, this fight is far from over. We will continue to fight for his rights as an American Citizen and for the truth to prevail.

An update from our warrior:

We are still on 22/2 (lockdown), but we are doing as well as expected. We are experiencing more and more control by the DOC. I think they know that what is about to happen! I hear people say we are winning - I believe it! The hope in these men is still there, although most have been here for over a year. That keeps me going. 

They may lock us up. They may throw away the key and keep us in here for an unknown amount of time, but what they cannot stop is the Freedom loving American pride that we have. Every night at 9:00pm ET, we sing (more like make a joyful noise) the Anthem! And we make it known that the flag was STILL THERE. We are TRUE Americans. We love our country. We love our Constitution. We are Patriots. 

Even though we may be subject to various kinds of civil rights and humanitarian rights violations, I know that we can take whatever is thrown at us. Because at the end of the day, we are the Men of America. For many of us, it\'s our first incarceration. We’ve had to adapt and survive. There are so many things that has happened that I cannot speak about at this time. But know, we will NEVER back down. We hold our beliefs true to heart. We may have some bad days, but that happens when the judges won\'t give us bail and push trial over and over again. We will overcome these obstacles. We will rise. The truth will prevail. 

My fellow Americans, don\'t forget about us, but remember us in everything you do. Do not let them take your freedoms, for they are your God given RIGHTS! In whatever you do, do in PEACE. 

Stay strong. Keep the faith. Where we go one, we go all.

God bless You!

God bless America!

-R. McAbee, your fellow Patriot

Join us in lighting a candle in honor of Colt. There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism. And that\'s exactly what Ronald did a year ago. You see, this is not just any movement, it\'s the movement. This isn\'t just about our family, it\'s about the hundreds of families across America that have been effected by this. There are moments where the words don\'t reach and the suffering is too terrible. We are working through the unimaginable, but together we are stronger. Together we are one. 

It\'s time to take a stand. Those who stand for nothing fall for anything. And Ronald stood in the gap for all of us on January 6th. Tonight, raise a glass for our hero and to freedom - something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you. Soon there will be more of us telling this exact story. History has its eyes on him. And we are honored to stand with Ronald. 

From Ronald, "Thank you to all of those who have stood by my side through all of this. Your support means more than I could ever say. A wise woman once told me \'Nothing has ever come easy in your life, why do you think it is going to be easy now?\' God chose me to bear this burden, along with others, so hopefully generations to come won\'t have to. I can\'t begin to explain the journey I\'ve been on, but I can tell you that I\'ve seen God\'s hand every step of the way. Much love from the Patriot Wing." 

Join us as we hold hands across the nation and sing The National Anthem at 9:00pm ET with the political prisoners. 

Please continue to pray for Ronald, our family, our attorneys, and for what lies ahead. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much. This has been a complete faith walk, but we know God is in control of ALL of this. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us fight the good fight. Justice WILL win. The truth WILL prevail. Ronald WILL rise above.

The men of the J6 pod have come together to create a fund for their fellow brothers across the jail to give their families a very Merry Christmas. 

"We have all had a rough year being held here in DC and we appreciate all of the love and support we have received, but it's the time of year to give, not receive.  

So we wanted to temporarily take the focus off of us and direct it to those in need here in DC, our local community.  All of the donations we receive will go to the children of our fellow inmates on the other side of the jail, or the local community.  We hope you will give to this great cause and help us bring joy to the kids here in DC!  We thank you for your support.  Merry Christmas and God Bless America!"
