“Soviet-Style” Treatment of American Citizens
Stewart Rhodes, the founder of Oath Keepers and a key defendant in the January 6 Capitol breach case, has revealed disturbing details about his imprisonment in a shocking interview with Mike Adams. Rhodes spent over a year in solitary confinement as part of what he describes as politically motivated persecution by the Biden administration.
According to Rhodes, the conditions were deliberately inhumane, with no access to sunlight, grass, or proper legal resources for his defense. “It was over a year before I could walk outside under an open sky. A year before I could put my feet on grass,” Rhodes stated in the revealing interview about his ordeal.
Rhodes’ account raises serious concerns about civil liberties and the treatment of January 6 defendants under the Biden administration. He likened his experience to Soviet-style political imprisonment, designed specifically to break the will of those who oppose the current administration’s agenda.
Calculated Effort to Prevent Defense
The former Oath Keepers leader claims his imprisonment was strategically engineered to prevent him from properly preparing his legal defense. He was denied access to a law library and faced other significant obstacles that hindered his ability to fight the charges against him.
“They intentionally prevented me from looking up case law or helping with my defense. This was a calculated move to break me,” Rhodes explained.
The intentional obstruction of his defense raises serious questions about due process rights for January 6 defendants.
Rhodes further accused the Biden administration of human rights violations, pointing out the hypocrisy in America’s stance on prisoner treatment.
“Our own State Department calls this torture when other countries do it. But here I was, an American citizen, subjected to the same inhumane treatment,” he said.
Fighting Back Against Political Persecution
Despite the harsh treatment, Rhodes remains defiant and is planning to take legal action against those responsible for his alleged wrongful imprisonment. He has hired attorney Mark McCloskey, who gained national attention for defending his home during BLM protests, to pursue lawsuits for wrongful arrest, imprisonment, and malicious prosecution.
Rhodes maintains his innocence and describes the charges against him as a “purely political crime” fabricated to create a false narrative about January 6th. The prosecution of Rhodes and other January 6 defendants contrasts sharply with the treatment of leftist protesters who have engaged in violent activities in recent years.
And if you want to learn more about what exactly the Biden administration did to this man and others, Rhodes recently announced that he will soon publish a book detailing all of it.
