Peaceful J6 Prisoner Warns Patriots of Faith: You Could Be Next
A peaceful protester shows up to a rally, is violently attacked by law enforcement, commits no violence…but is raided by an army of FBI agents and sent to jail for 48 months in third-world conditions. That is what America, once the world’s beacon of freedom, has become under Joe Biden.
BLM and Antifa rioters literally burned down cities with few or no consequences, and even with the praise of the left. Joe and Hunter Biden are still in the White House, despite vast corruption and money-laundering. But the Jan. 6 protestors faced all the force of a weaponized federal system. “What I would like for America to know is that I am not the man the media has portrayed me to be,” wrote Jan. 6 political prisoner Michael Perkins in a heartbreaking letter from the horrific jail known to J6 prisoners as the DC Gulag. “I am not a terrorist or [a]n insurrectionist that was threatening our democracy that day. I am an average hard-working American that lives paycheck to paycheck to provide for my family. I put my whole heart into my faith, my family, and my country and clearly [that] must be the very threat they see. If that’s the case, and if you fall into any of those categories, you’re a threat as well.”
Perkins was just a devout Christian and peaceful patriot who wanted to witness to government corruption and the man who uncovered it: Donald Trump. But the weaponized “justice” system ruined his life for it.
The judge sentencing Perkins even admitted Perkins seemed a good man and good citizen; the judge cited his main reason for sentencing Perkins as “deterrence.” In other words, Perkins was to be an example for the world to see, a warning to other patriotic Americans, to other people of faith—this is what happens when you challenge the government and its enforced political dogma in any way. In Joe Biden’s America, political dissidents are treated worse than terrorists.
So what was Perkins’s “crime”? He accidentally struck a police officer with his Trump flag while blinded with pepper spray, and the officer in question didn’t even know he’d been hit by the flag until he was shown his own body cam footage. Yet Perkins was accused of “assault with a deadly weapon.” It’s straight out of an Orwellian nightmare.

Below are excerpts from Perkins’ letter from jail—you can read the full letter at Gateway Pundit:
“I am 40 years old and I’ve been married to my beautiful wife, Brittany, for 18 years. We have two amazing children, Shayne who is 20 years old and Emmaree who is 17. Since my wife and I both surrendered our lives to Christ in 2005, we have strived to live our life to please our Lord and Savior…
The morning of January 6, we began to make our way to the rally and we ran into a young man who is also headed to the rally. He was alone and so we invited him to join us. We stopped for breakfast on the way and I had the privilege of leading the young man to the Lord. I remember thinking, what a great day it was already. God had already sent a lost soul to minister to. At the end of [Trump’s] speech, he told everyone to go to the Capitol and peacefully protest, he even said he was going to join us. As we approached the Capital, we never recall seeing any fencing, bike racks or signs that said, do not enter. We are law abiding citizens, and never would’ve entered a restricted area, especially my wife. I do my very best to respect and obey the law I would have never brought my family into a restricted area that could possibly be dangerous.
As we got closer to the Capitol we saw a bus pull up and load off a bunch of people wearing Trump shirts and hats, all of which seem to be between the age of 18 to 30, I now believe they were Antifa and undercover Feds. As we arrived to the West Terrace of the Capitol we began to sing and we were having a good time. Shortly after arriving, it was sudden chaos. There was teargas and pepper spray being sprayed at us. Explosions of gas going off in the crowd. People started pushing us, and in the midst of all the chaos, we were separated. My 14-year-old daughter was crying hysterically out of fear as she was pepper sprayed and gassed by Capitol Police. She was puking and gasping to breath but the chemicals filled the air and you couldn’t escape it. I recall multiple people saying cops were shooting people inside. We later found out that that was Ashli Babbitt that had been murdered.
I watched as cops ran and hit people in the crowd, and I watched as others taunted the police by pushing others into the police. I, too, was pushed into the police. My eyes were burning from all the pepper spray, and I could barely open them. All the sudden there was an officer laying at my feet, my first instinct was to reach down to help her up but the officer refused my help and pushed my hand away, not wanting my help. Another officer rushed in to help that officer as they began to spray me again. I bent down to grab my flag, and the officer rushed towards me as I stood up, looking in the opposite direction, he ran into my flag and punched me in the eye. I later had a very swollen blackeye. I had no idea what was happening. I was very disoriented during that time. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t know where my family was. The officer alleged that I swung my flag after I was sprayed and punched in the direction of an officer coming. They say it may have hit him in the head or the back, but they cannot tell for sure.
In my trial, the officer said he never knew that he was touched until the FBI showed him his body worn camera. I was disoriented at that time I do not remember it even happening. I do know that I respect law-enforcement, I was backing the blue when the country was crying to defund the police and would never purposely try to harm anyone of them. I believe my family and I fell into a trap set up by our own government and we were attacked for no reason. We were there for a peaceful protest, and did not deserve to be pepper sprayed, gassed, and punched . Afterwards we were all in shock to what had just happened.
When we got back to the hotel, and watched the news, we were even more shocked that they were calling us the instigators, “terrorists” and “insurrectionists.” We could not believe it! Never once do I recall any cop telling us to leave, and that we were in a restricted area. They just began violently attacking us.
In the weeks following January 6, we started noticing different vehicles sitting in our neighborhood and in May 2021, we caught the FBI following us to church…[one day], at 5:45 AM, our home was violently raided. 50 or more FBI swat agents and Homeland Security agents came with four armored tanks. They threw percussion, grenades and flash bangs at our home. They began calling each of us out on a loudspeaker. As each one of us walked out we had lasers on us at gunpoint with agents screaming from every direction. The force they used was so excessive. Multiple pictures in our homes were knocked off the walls from the percussion grenades. Our carpets were caught on fire from the flash bangs that they threw in our home. When I walked outside, it looked like a war zone. The smoke was so heavy I could hardly see 5 feet in front of me. I felt as if I were Osama Bin Laden, and they were looking for a reason to shoot and kill me. I believe if I made one wrong move, they might’ve shot me. I believe they were hoping that the startle from those grenades would’ve disoriented me enough to make me come out with my gun, then they would’ve been justified in shooting me in their eyes.
Thank God for his protection on my family that day. As my wife and children and I stood handcuffed, they sent robots into our home with drones and were questioning us about booby traps. My wife jokingly said like home alone booby traps? We watched as they went around with a claw hammer and beat all of our security cameras off our house (all of this up until this point we have on camera) when arriving, they had crashed through my back gate destroying it, and my dog was so frightened, she ran away for a few days. She now suffers with PTSD from loud noises along with my wife and daughter! After swat cleared the property, 40 FBI agents came to the scene to search. I was put in a car with two agents who began questioning me to which I refused to answer any of their questions. My wife and daughter were led inside to get dressed. They quickly hurried my daughter while letting my wife take her time. As my wife came out the front door, two females with an envelope were showing my daughter a picture of herself at the Capitol and threatening her to tell them who went with us and how we all got there. My wife immediately asked what was going on knowing that she was 14 and they were questioning her without her mother present. We never got their names, and those ladies disappeared after my wife asked them what was going on, but that was a violation of our rights. My son, who at the time was 18 and did not travel to the capitol with us because of work was being harassed by two agents and threatened that if he was found to be there, they would come for him next.
As my wife told him to tell them he wanted a lawyer she was then cussed in front of everyone and her children by those agents. I was handed over to Homeland Security which brought me to the courthouse. Two of our friends from church that traveled to DC with us had been raided at the same time. We all went before the judge. They were released while I was being held…
Pre-trial conditions were that I could not be on my porch. I couldn’t take out my trash and I couldn’t walk next-door to help my father who lives on the same property. I had to be indoors. Unless I was at work or church. Four to six nights a week I would receive calls from the home confinement monitoring center between the hours of 11 and 4 AM saying I was in violation although I was in bed sleeping. They would call and say that I needed to get up and stand next to a window for four minutes, I’d hear laughing in the background like it was a joke to them…
There was zero evidence that I went to DC that day to do anything other than peacefully protest yet I was convicted on all charges and it was as if the judge had his mind made up from the very beginning. My family and I were completely broken and confused. We went there that day to make a stand for what was right and share the love of Christ and now I’m facing serious prison time. We are so disappointed in our government, I believe they set us up and they hid lots of information and evidence that proves our innocence I also believe a lot of the officers didn’t have a clue what was planned that day as well…
As a husband and father the greatest burden on my shoulders right now is not being about to provide for my family. I knew my family would be struggling financially, so I have prayed for God to provide for them and within the first couple weeks of being in jail one of the correction officers heard about my story and wanted to help us with some bills. He gave enough money to my wife to pay for three months of bills…
As I made my journey to the DC jail I got to experience some pretty horrible places along the way. I was not looking forward to the place known as the Gulag, I’d heard all the horrible stories about that place. As I arrived I was not treated fair. I watched for five days as others got to make phone calls and shower. I asked for two days for toilet paper until I finally received some from a trustee. I constantly asked for grievance forms, and was told that they would get me one, but never did. There was no AC and so I was constantly sweating. my toilet leaked water everywhere every time I flushed it. Mice were constantly in and out of my room and the men in my section screamed and kicked the doors all night long. One night a man got pepper sprayed a couple doors down for me, and I coughed and struggled to breathe for four hours because there was no air circulation to get rid of the spray. The guards would not even come in that section for four hours afterwards.
Others received tablets, but I did not. Others would be let out, but I would not be, with nothing to read and nothing to do. I sat for 9 days in my cell. I constantly prayed and sang praises to the Lord. I tried telling the guards about the love of Christ, instead of showing them hate but they would never stop to talk to me. I asked them for a Bible multiple times and they would never give me one. I watched as a Muslim man was brought a Quran and a prayer mat. It’s reminded me about the scripture that says, “If the world hates you remember that hated me first.” I knew Jesus knew how I felt and that gave me peace.
It was such a relief when I was finally moved to the J6 pod. All my brothers were very welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. They gave me food and support and for that I am so grateful. I was sentenced on August 17 to 48 months in prison. I do not understand how someone can get four years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon (which was a Trump flag )on an officer who did not even know the flag touched him.. Before sentencing, about 50 friends and family members wrote to the judge, pleading for mercy to him. My wife and children did videos for the judge, pleading for mercy, asking him to be a just judge…When the judge rendered his sentence, he admitted that he had never seen a man with as much character and community support as I had. The prosecutors even said that sometimes good men make mistakes. They all admitted I was a good man and clearly saw that I was in the middle of total chaos that day and was very confused, but that did not matter. The judge said the main reasoning for his 48 months sentence was deterrence…He saw the evidence, he saw the prosecutors altered evidence and even cropped a video to hide what was really happening and yet he chose to go along with the narrative…
In the last 23 years I have never been apart from my wife and children. It’s been a very hard road being in prison while they are struggling emotionally and financially, I have never been one to ask for help, but I am in a position that I greatly need help with.”
