In December 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported that J6 Political Prisoner Jon Mellis was sentenced to 51 months in jail and 36 months of supervised launch by Decide Randolph Moss.
Moss additionally ordered Mellis to pay $20,000 to the federal government, all the cash Jon had left in his GiveSendGo account, which he had raised throughout his practically three years in jail on the DC Gulag.
The identical authorities that repeatedly lied throughout his trial about Jon’s actions on January 6 took all the cash left in his account.
Mellis is considered one of a number of January 6 defendants who witnessed Officer Lila Morris brutally beat Roseanne Boyland’s unconscious physique and tried to cease police from brutally beating demonstrators.
Whereas incarcerated, Mellis has been a number one voice for his fellow J6ers, together with his ‘We Are Good Men’ podcast that enables prisoners to share their tales in their very own phrases.
He has labored tirelessly to have their tales advised and supply life-changing assist for his or her households, and he intends to proceed to battle for justice for the political prisoners when he’s launched on the finish of September.
Jon not too long ago wrote to The Gateway Pundit on the eve of his launch.
I’ve been sitting in a cell since February 16, 2021. My first 13 months had been spent in solitary confinement, and my first 2 years had been with none type of visitation, in particular person or by video/behind glass. That is how the J6ers had been handled.
The DC Jail constructing situations had been damaged down, disgusting, infested with little creatures, and we had been abused by indignant correctional officers frequently. These guards believed the mainstream media lies about us. They thought we had been racist terrorists who tried to overthrow the federal government, which is ridiculous. For 3 years, I used to be ready within the notorious DC jail with out even getting a bond listening to earlier than I used to be lastly sentenced to 51 months to serve and $22,100 in fines for my involvement within the January 6 “Cease The Steal” rally in Washinton, DC.
I used to be charged with assaulting officers after witnessing them trample unconscious protesters. Rosanne Boyland died proper in entrance of me as individuals screamed for assist whereas the cops beat individuals who had been attempting to assist. Not less than a dozen of us who tried to intervene to avoid wasting her life at the moment are in federal jail. As we suffered within the DC jail underneath disgusting situations and abusive correctional officers, I watched over 100 of my J6 brothers are available and get sentenced to a few years of incarceration every, starting from as little as 31 months to the insane excessive of twenty-two years. I lived with them and fashioned deep and real bonds with so many of those nice males. It’s actually an honor to have suffered alongside the boys I met on this journey.
I’m now in federal jail myself at FCI Ashland in Kentucky. With my 15% off for “good time,” I can be launched on September 30, 2024. The federal authorities has denied me the everyday 6-12 months Midway Home, so I can be right here on this jail till that date in September. I’d wish to say that being screwed over by the system like that is uncommon for J6ers, however everyone knows that J6ers are routinely shit on by this method. The corrupt DOJ will at all times proceed to seek out new and inventive methods to harm us. I might additionally wish to say that my case represents the worst conduct of the DOJ, however that’s NOT EVEN CLOSE to the reality. Take a look at what the FBI routinely does to President Trump. Watching my J6 brothers get sentenced frequently to between 10 to 22 years is all too regular. Watching a lot of my brothers get wrongly accused of seditious conspiracy and thrown away for many years is unfortunately the fact I reside in.
Enrique Tarrio, the chairman of The Proud Boys, was sentenced to 22 years in jail for seditious conspiracy when he was NOT EVEN IN Washington, DC, on January 6. Different Proud Boys had been falsely convicted of seditious conspiracy for really simply strolling round contained in the US Capitol constructing then going again to their resort.
Ethan Nordean was sentenced to 18 years, Joe Biggs was sentenced to 17 years, and Zach Riehl was sentenced to fifteen years. Whereas Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola was discovered “not responsible” of the seditious conspiracy cost, he was given 10 years for breaking a window. I lived with these males for about 6 months within the DC jail and watched them get sentenced. They’re my brothers. Their ache is my ache. I can guarantee you that they’re actually and deeply harmless. It breaks my coronary heart to see what this corrupt DOJ and the mainstream media have completed to those actually good males. The Proud Boys are honest-to-God Patriots who love our US Structure. The Proud Boys would NEVER dream of treason. How dare Joe Biden and Kamala Harris deal with Proud Boys with something however respect, dignity, and appreciation. It’s the best fraternity on this planet and everybody could be fortunate to fulfill a Proud Boy. And with over 40,000 Proud Boys within the USA, you most likely have.
I’ve had one mission since getting arrested. With the assistance of platforms like The Gateway Pundit, and the help of a few of my private buddies, I’ve devoted myself to getting my J6 brothers’ tales out and serving to them fundraise for this heartbreaking state of affairs we discover ourselves in. With the overwhelming generosity of the American individuals and the compassion and care of Jim Hoft, we now have been very efficient in serving to over 100 of my J6 brothers elevate much-needed funds for his or her households and their authorized battle. I’ve labored with these males one after the other, sitting with a lot of them for hours at a time to prepare their ideas onto paper or to shine their last drafts. Then I labored to get their testimonials printed and to boost cash instantly into their very own financial institution accounts, bypassing the all too frequent grasping nonprofits that divert cash to complement themselves. These males deserve higher than to be robbed by the present widespread J6 nonprofits, and the American individuals deserve higher than to be deceived by a “nonprofit”. DO NOT TRUST nonprofits for J6. If you want to donate, please donate DIRECTLY to the J6er you wish to assist by sending your cash to their very own private GiveSendGO account. That means, it goes to the J6er and his household and to not some grasping grifter.
***Please help Jon here.***
Spending innumerable hours having political or philosophical conversations and goofing round with these males has been a deeply heat a part of this horrible state of affairs. Anybody who is aware of me can inform you that I’m a very smart, hyper-active goofball. I wish to make individuals chortle, and I get pleasure from being the comedian aid or the “class clown.” I’m a complete goof. I’m a wild man. I’ve been in comparison with Animal from The Muppets. Lol. With my capability to attach with individuals by means of ridiculous humor or clever dialog I’ve had the best luck constructing actually deep relationships with the good and most inspirational males on Earth. I actually am a fortunate man to be finest buddies with my heroes.
What I’ve discovered about these honorable males has given me energy and confidence that our MAGA motion is probably the most righteous motion in American historical past. Whether or not it’s their religion in God, their love of healthful household values, or their unshakable resolve whereas going through the darkest, most authoritarian machine in human historical past from inside The American Gulag, my respect for these nice males grows day by day. I’ve been impressed by my fellow People as they undergo harsher punishments than any protesters in US historical past whereas being ridiculously smeared by the mainstream media as “insurrectionists.”
I see it as my responsibility to be of service to those nice males. Because of this I do what I do to assist them. 100% of the cash the American individuals donate to them goes instantly to every J6er. I don’t personal a nonprofit or a central fund. I obtain nothing for this however satisfaction. I’m simply blissful to battle for these good males as a result of I do know we’re on this collectively. If I can do one thing to assist somebody’s household really feel higher about paying the mortgage or to afford meals for his or her youngsters, then I’ve completed my half. Up to now we now have helped elevate hundreds of thousands of {dollars} for my brothers this fashion. I’m honored to be of service to those nice Patriots. None of this might be attainable with out the generosity of the American individuals. We’re all so grateful for our Patriotic countrymen. We really feel the love and it helps greater than you understand.
Our everlasting gratitude additionally sits with the nice Jim Hoft. With out him, we might all be screwed. Jim, Katie O, Cara C, Kelly W, Alicia P and everybody else at The Gateway Pundit are all owed a deep debt of gratitude from the J6ers. We are going to always remember. Lives and households have been saved as a consequence of their consideration and care. To see the product of the work I’ve been coordinating and to get to know my J6 brothers higher in their very own phrases, please go to www.wearegoodmen.com. You can too see the “We Are Good Men” podcast on Rumble we produce from contained in the DC jail utilizing the jail issued laptops. (Solely given to us after years of complaints that we had no entry to view our case recordsdata. I’m positive the DOJ now regrets not disabling the digital camera on these limited-use laptops. Lol.) I hope you all try these superb video interviews of the J6 Hostages. You may see for your self why these males need to be admired.
I want the world knew these males like I do. You’d be each impressed and heartbroken. Our story is considered one of unfair persecution and mainstream media lies. We’re good males who occurred to be within the place God shook the world on January 6, 2021. Anybody who was there can inform you the feelings within the crowd and the pure cathartic pleasure that was felt as Patriots climbed the constructing and waved their flags. After many years of presidency corruption, creeping communist tendencies within the liberal media, large tech censorship, and a yr of medical tyranny, are you able to blame a crowd of over 1,000,000 Patriots for storming the US Capitol Swamp after the understaffed police pressure guarding the constructing began attacking us with explosives and rubber bullets? The police panicked and began taking pictures us with out giving correct warning. Possibly Nancy Pelosi ought to have stated “sure” to President Trumps supply for 10,000 Nationwide Guard troops for that day?
For the document, I’m not ashamed of our conduct on January 6. On the contrary, I’m proud to name the wild cowboys of January 6 my brothers. “The riot is the voice of the unheard.” These are the phrases of the nice MLK Jr. What we now have on this nation is a creeping authoritarian communist regime stifling and censoring We The Individuals. This has been occurring for years, however grew to become supercharged when Donald Trump got here down that golden escalator to place himself in the best way of the uniparty/deep state/machine with a purpose to save our superb republic. He left his lifetime of luxurious to grow to be probably the most investigated, lied about, and persecuted man in American political historical past. He has been spied on by the Feds, sued, indicted, impeached, slandered, and shot. Regardless of the efforts of “the system” to destroy him, and the efforts to destroy his Patriotic supporters, we’re nonetheless standing sturdy and stuffed with enthusiasm. We’re the longer term and we’re NEVER going away.
My life as I knew it has been destroyed due to this expertise. The monetary value alone has been breathtaking. The whole lot from the $22,100 court docket fantastic, an costly federal lawyer, baby assist, payments, misplaced wages, and that’s not even to say the prices related to being locked up, together with commissary and cellphone requires practically 4 years. Now I stare down the prospect of getting to restart and rebuild my life from scratch after I’m launched. This expertise has harmed my life in so some ways. The superb girlfriend I had when this incarceration started is not with me. My teenage son has grown a lot taller and his voice has deepened. My father, Gennaro Mellis, died since I’ve been incarcerated. He was a embellished Vietnam Struggle hero and my finest good friend. A retired Military Main and retired from the Navy as nicely. He was one of many smartest males I’ve ever met. He was an excellent man and I’ll perpetually attempt to reside as much as his virtuous instance. The final time I noticed him I used to be in handcuffs after a pre-dawn raid and he was surrounded by dozens of militarized FBI Brokers and an armored truck. I used to be not allowed to attend his funeral. And on prime of the whole lot, my bodily disabled mom was finally compelled to promote the household residence I used to be raised in.
My future after this jail sentence could also be extra easy than I count on. I MUST proceed advocating for my J6 brothers till they’re all free. After that, I believe your complete federal felony justice system wants reform. The way in which I see it, the federal authorities locked up a bunch of excellent males, like they’ve been doing for generations, however this time we are able to use our expertise in federal jail to vary the system. Our federal felony justice system is bloated, damaged, and lacks frequent sense, like a lot of the federal authorities. I’ve met quite a lot of males in federal jail with tales that will break your coronary heart. The federal authorities provides out means an excessive amount of time to too many individuals. I consider our greatest hope at a functioning felony justice system is to depart the prosecution of criminals to the states. Federal prosecutors are notorious for his or her misleading conduct and outright lies in open court docket. The FBI isn’t any higher. The abuses of the federal authorities towards the individuals are rampant, blatant, and systemic.
I can’t wait to begin the following chapter of my life and proceed attempting to make the world a greater place. Its about time we recalibrate our complete federal authorities to deliver it again into line with our Structure and with the Widespread Sense authorities envisioned by the nice Thomas Paine.
