I write this article it is July 4, 2025.
I just left my friend’s funeral just 2 days ago, Bart Shively, a Jan 6er and US Marine Corps veteran. I was a man with mixed emotions. I was happy to join my brothers and sisters, and sad I saw my friend lying there.
I left the funeral and am now on I-95 in South Carolina heading to Florida for medical treatment.
I am riding in the van I call home for now. I have saved all my money up for food and medical treatments that I was once denied, and I really think of how great it is to be free! How I dreaded the dark and cold cell. It was just last year. I felt no hope. I was just found guilty of crimes I did not commit looking to serve the remainder of my life in a dark cold prison cell.
I am now living as free as a man. I could I never imagined my life like this but I have such an amazing out look on life today. This is like the movie Shawshank Redemption, when at the end of the movie, Morgan Freeman as RED is on the bus and narrates his thoughts and says it’s the feeling only a free man can feel.
It’s so true. I am so grateful for all those who have supported me and the others because you are the ones who freed us, along with God’s will and President Donald Trump’s pen.
I find myself a different man today than I was in the years before my incarceration. Sometimes I struggle with what some would call PTSD but I’m learning to cope. It’s a process and it doesn’t happen overnight and sometimes I feel so angry and just filled with emotion. But today as I travel on this Fourth of July I am so grateful to belong to this beautiful nation, to have had the support I had and the people who would tell me hang in there it will be over soon it’s hard to believe when your in there looking at a wall 1 foot from your face, to know I was on the right side and I did the right thing and we’re all here celebrating Americas 250 years as a republic!
But we are at the crossroads in time. No other nation has made it past this, will we? I say so but it takes work and sacrifice it takes first to appreciate what you have and to know it’s worth suffering for and even dying for. It’s worth a person buying American-made products over a cheaper version. It is worth accepting your libtard neighbor.
I wish I could share this feeling with you all or maybe this is what normal feels like I forgot this feeling but I can say I am a happy man living a simple life, unable to fully work at the moment due to certain injuries that were not being treated. I am lucky so lucky to be able to get medical treatment. This will be the last of my treatments. I have to travel to Florida because Obamacare insurance doesn’t cover certain conditions and now doctors can deny insurance. It’s a bunch of shit!
But because of The Gateway Pundit and its readers I am a very very blessed man. I may live in a van for the time being, and I may not have the things I once did, but I’m free and I’m American, and I would not trade this for the world.
And for those people who don’t understand, we are all together to celebrate our nation’s 250 years. Stop to think about it, think about what you do have, not what you don’t have, and most of the time it’s something you want, not something you need! And if you are like me and struggling with your health, I think it’s up to you to fix it. Don’t let a doctor tell you something he learned in a book because I was told I would forever be blind in my right eye after the FBI crushed my face, guess what, I regained most of my sight!
And when I was told I’ll do the next 20 years in prison and the whole world hated me and they lied about me and while the devil had plans for me never to see this beautiful country again, guess what? GOD said different! So for all you that want to know why would I not fly? Why would I? Why not see America and I can just pull over and sleep in my van.
I’m excited, I’m happy, and I’m honored to be alive today, but I’m even more grateful for being free today. No matter how hard life may seem, I know it could always be worse, and I tell you be calm and stop worrying about what is wrong and focus on what is right.
If you would like to support me in rebuilding my life, I am grateful. I have a surgery coming up next month and can’t wait to heal so I can do rehab and get back to the gym and work as a barber.
