There is rising conscious at the abusive and corrupt behavior of the FBI due to its treatment of members of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Figures like Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen were all entrapped in a conspiracy by federal agents seeking to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States. The saga has led to calls in conservative publications to break up the FBI and investigate the extent of their abuses against Americans whose political views they do not approve of.
Fortunately for Flynn, Cohen, and likely Stone, they are now being provided redress. The Department of Justice’s decision to drop the Flynn case is welcome. Michael Cohen and Manafort have been released from prison and will be spending the rest of their sentences under house arrest. Roger Stone, while still battling in court, will likely figure a way out.
But not all people being railroaded and tortured in solitary confinement by the FBI can count the president of the United States as a personal friend.
Below is a list of American political prisoners subjected to similar treatment, with background information and their most up to date addresses for writing them.
1) Jacob Scott Goodwin – 1931215
Augusta correctional center
1821 Estaline Vallet Rd, Craigsville, VA, 24430
Jacob Scott Goodwin attended the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Goodwin and other men had been expelled from Lee Park and obeyed the Charlottesville police’s state of emergency order. He was returning to his car in a parking lot, but was followed by a gang of armed blacks led by Harris. Harris was photographed carrying a weapon shortly before the brawl, which he then used to begin attacking people, including beating an elderly person over the head until he fell to the ground.
The media portrayed the melee as a random racially motivated attack, and in spite of all the exculpatory evidence, Goodwin was sentenced in 2018 to a shocking 8 year sentence.
2) Daniel Patrick Borden – 1920347
Dillwyn Correctional Center
1522 Prison Rd, Dillwyn, VA, 23936
3) Alex Michael Ramos – 1917415
Greensville Correctional Center
901 Corrections Way, Jarratt, VA, 23870
Borden and Ramos were also convicted for defending themselves against Deandre Harris and his gang. Borden was sentenced to 4 years in prison, while Ramos, who notably only threw a single punch at Harris, was sentenced to 6 years.
4) Richard Wilson Preston – 1916593
Coffeewood Correctional Center
12352 Coffeewood Dr, Mitchells, VA, 22729
Richard Wilson Preston also attended the 2017 Unite the Right march. Preston was convicted of discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school — a procedural crime when looking at the context.
A video of the incident shows clearly what happened. After the state of emergency was announced, nationalist demonstrators began to leave the park.
A black man named Corey Long was filmed waiting for the marchers at the exit with a flamethrower, which Preston then responded to by firing a warning shot to scare him away, saving countless young men from being maimed or killed. Preston, faced with a possible sentence of 10 years, pleaded to no contest and was sentenced to 8 years instead.
5) Benjamin Drake Daley – 77036-112
FCI Sheridan
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 5000
Sheridan, OR, 97378
Benjamin Drake Daley was a small business owner in California who attended the 2017 Unite the Right rally. Federal agents raided his home in 2018 and slapped him and his martial arts club, the Rise Above Movement, with rarely used “conspiracy to riot” charges, based largely on accusations from “antifa” blogs and a documentary by Wall Street funded firm ProPublica.
One piece of evidence used by federal prosecutors to make their case was the supposed “assault” of Don Gathers. Footage from the incident shows Don Gathers attacking Daley, who used self-defense in response. This was of no consequence to politically motivated prosecutor Thomas Cullen.
Members of RAM prosecuted under similar “rioting” charges in California were released by Judge Cormac Carney, who ruled that the statutes were unconstitutional, Nevertheless, Daley was sentenced to 37 months in prison by a Virginia court.
6) Michael Paul Miselis – 77038-112
FCI Herlong
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 800
Herlong, CA, 96113
Michael Miselis was a UCLA doctoral student in aerospace engineering who also attended the 2017 Unite the Right Rally. His dreams and aspirations as a Northrop Grumman engineer were dashed when federal agents stormed his home.
Miselis was charged alongside Daley under the same statutes ruled unconstitutional in California. He was sentenced to 27 months in prison, despite having no criminal record.
7) Thomas Walter Gillen 77035-112
FCI Manchester
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 4000
Manchester, KY, 40962
Thomas Gillen was another accused member of RAM, prosecuted for the same unconstitutional “crimes” as Miselis and Daley by the FBI. He is currently serving his 33 month sentence.
8) Joffre Cross III – 023211057
Geo Joe Corley
500 Hilbig Rd
Conroe, TX 77301
Joffre Cross III, a Texan and a nationalist, was swarmed by FBI agents for two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possessing a kevlar vest. Cross was previously convicted for an alleged illegal sale of body armor in 2007.
The FBI used video of Cross allegedly firing a rifle at a gun range as their evidence. The FBI found Cross’ large collection of World War II memorabilia and posed it for the media to make it look like they had arrested a would-be “white supremacist terrorist.”
Cross, who does not have the money to fight in a federal case, was forced to plead guilty. He will be sentenced on May 27th.
Conservative John Derbyshire was making essentially the same point the other day:

Thank you for this article and for the names and addresses of these political prisoners. You deserve a medal. This sort of thing has to be nipped in the bud, and the prosecutors who put them behind bars put there themselves.
I have a lawsuit against the SPLC, which has played a major role in bringing us to this sad place in our history. This article is about their victims. It would be poetic justice if I win the case against them and then use the money from the judgment to bankroll a legal effort on behalf of these victims.
You forgot Tommy Chong…
How much time will this guy get?:
You’ve forgotten Matt Hale, currently the longest serving US political prisoner. His ideas are considered so dangerous that he is locked up for 23 hours per day at the Florence ADMAX prison in Colorado. He’s been in jail since 2005.
He was set up by Michael Chertoff, who was appointed by George W. Bush to be an assistant attorney general in the criminal division. Chertoff, the son of a Talmudic scholar, was also a co-author of the “Patriot Act” and Bush’s “Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act” of 2007.

Matt Hale’s address is-
Matthew Hale 15177-424
USP Florence ADMAX
U.S. PENITENTIARY
PO BOX 8500
FLORENCE, CO 81226
The English language also rises.
We are in the discovery stage of my suit against the SPLC (just this morning I submitted a request for emails and financials) and funding is an issue, so I am going to go ahead and post the link to my goFundme page for those of you who can help out. If you all will bear with me, it really means a lot. Very encouraging. Even if you can’t contribute, sharing the link on Facebook, or posting it on Reddit, etc., also really helps. A lot of people know who and what the SPLC is and would love to see them lose.

Thank you Striker for putting these guys back in the news.
People should be aware that the immense physical risk and psychological abuse these guys face makes solidarity and outside support all the more important. Detainees in similar situations have undergone months-long solitary confinement and other measures that would be considered “torture” by the ACLU if inflicted on a drug-dealer or child-molester. Many have taken pleas based on this abuse as well as the advice of counsel with deeply conflicted interests (such as coordinated attacks on legal counsel by antifa and associated orgs like the $PLC).
Do whatever you can do to make their lives easier, let them know they are not forgotten and let everyone know that we “remember our troops” fighting oppression and dispossession at home.
They should all be released, and the prosecutors and judges be made to serve the remainder of the sentences in the same jail cells their former victims once occupied.
James Fields should be given a new trial in a different jurisdiction. He should be released on bail and be given the chance of a proper defense by lawyers who will actually work on his behalf.
Matt Hale is one that I consider to be a political prisoner. He wrote a good book about the Jewish role in 9/11. There are PDFs floating around online. He got thrown in prison for 40 years for allegedly asking an undercover officer to kill a judge. The whole story seemed suspect since he was a bright guy with a law degree and a talent for writing. I always thought that he got thrown in prison to shut him up.
Just keep in mind what the federal police are like.

And of course, Leonard Peltier.
I loathe “conspiracy” law. And here (Hale) is a good example why. Utterly disgraceful sentence.
Let’s not forget Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the “silk road” free trade system…
Matt Hale is not a political prisoner. He encouraged a would be assassin to kill a judge. He even provided identifying info.
He was a fool and WI are better off without him.
