January 6th is akin to a Swiss Army Knife, a barely effective tool that has served many purposes to the Democrat Party.
Each function has found itself a niche use within the narrative spun by those who seek only to remain in power, a One
Party system henceforth referred to as "The Party". Being Marxists, the name is befitting.

The first purpose of January 6th has served as its primary function: to silence the opposition, and instill fear of
retribution by Law Enforcement for speaking out against ”The Party”, and to slander Conservatives as racists, terrorists
and insurrectionists.

The second purpose of January 6th is to solidify the notion that the 2020 election was devoid of fraud.

The third is to secure funding for, and to expand Federal Law Enforcement.
The fourth is to weaponize the Department of Justice against Constitutionally protected militia groups, undermine
their legitimacy, use fear to prevent new members from joining and to encourage old members to quit so as to further
erode the 2nd Amendment.

The fifth is to make a spectacle of Republican leadership by dragging them before Congress in the Jan 6 Select
Committee.

The sixth and most desired affect of January 6th is to attack Donald Trump, impeach him, and attempt to bar him from
reelection in the future.

Each of these uses has allowed January 6th to serve the narrative of ”The Party” successfully and has been allowed to
persist unabated. The truth about January 6 has still yet to be fully understood by America.

My name is Jessica Watkins, and I am a January 6th defendant. I have been incarcerated nearly a year for crimes I did
not commit, so as to serve as a pawn for ”The Party” to exploit. And exploit they have.

When I was 18, I joined the Army and served as a Paratrooper in a Ranger Battalion and served in Afghanistan in 2002.
After the Army, I felt a need to serve but did not return to the military and instead joined a Fire Department where I
served as a Firefighter, EMT, and Rescue Technician. Some years later, I started a small business with my fiance, a Bar
and Grille that barely survived the COVID Lockdowns.

The events of 2020 were chaotic, and with the leftist riots in the streets plunging our nation nearly to a state of Civil
War, I felt duty bound to protect the innocent, so once again I served my nation: protecting businesses, helping the
injured, and coordinated with Law Enforcement. I have been threatened by the BLM/Antifa mobs, been assaulted by
them, and still I served time and again to protect the lives, businesses and homes of strangers - many of which were
themselves minorities. 

After the 2020 Election, I continued to serve - to protect innocents from violent assaults by left wing anarchists. In
November 2020, innocent Patriots were savagely attacked without repercussions in the streets of DC. In December,
four Proud Boys were stabbed by Antifa, one of whom lost a kidney and nearly died. It is these events that led me to
attend the Rally on January 6th, 2021.
While I decline to offer specifics about the nature of my case, what I can attest to is the reality of January 6th that has
yet to be fully appreciated by the American public: January 6th was not one single protest, but three separate events.
The first event is the speech given by our President at the Ellipse. The second is the rally at the Capitol Building on
the East Side. The third, is the infamous scene from the West Side of the Capitol Building. The first was calm. The
second, virtually entirely peaceful. The third was the infamous scene now known incorrectly as "The Insurrection", an
unfounded, improper colloquialism adopted by Left Wing media.
Having seen videos yet unavailable to the public, I can attest to the improper responses of Police that led to the spiral
of events that culminated in a riot. Indeed, January 6th amounts to little more than a riot that was ultimately incited by
Police. The media draws much attention to the "deadly nature" of January 6th, but glosses over the reality that 4
protesters were killed as a result of the Police responses.

People were pushed off balconies, protesters shot in the face with rubber bullets, women and elderly beaten, teargas
and flashbangs thrown into a peaceful crowd. Roseanne Boyland was savagely beaten to death and trampled by
Police. Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood by an Officer lying in ambush. 
I consider myself fortunate to have never witnessed these events, for I was on the East Side of the Capitol, and these
tragedies transpired unbeknownst to me. My fellow inmates however were not so lucky, and the scars of PTSD are
readily visible amongst them.

As for me and my codefendants, we have suffered our own pains from the injustices levied against us for our
attendance that fateful day for which we remain incarcerated wrongfully. For nearly a year now we have suffered,
seemingly forgotten and ignored by the public. We attended that day to protect the innocent. I helped two injured
individuals, stopped people damaging the Capitol building and a Police vehicle, and obeyed every lawful order given
to me. My codefendants rescued a Police Officer. 

What then is our just reward? Wrongful incarceration, slander and defamation, violation of our civil rights, abuse,
neglect, Solitary Confinement, malnourishment and the military style SWAT raids that put us here. Guns were pointed
at children. Husbands and wives dragged screaming from loved ones. 

During our incarceration we have seen a woman murder her baby, a school shooter, and a guy driving a SUV through
a Christmas Parade each get bail/bond while we are denied that right summarily. People commit drive by shootings
and are released on bail the next day, and here we rot: Veterans, teachers, parents, medics, small business owners and
why? We on the wrong side of "The Party". We stand for the America they hate so much.

Ultimately we are innocent of the charges levied against us and await here in this DC GitMo hell for a trial that will
likely find us unanimously "Not Guilty". Our charges are false, the truth manipulated, and we will one day be
vindicated.

Until that sweet day, I remain here, held hostage without ransom at the behest of the American public that knows
nothing of my plight. Upon release, I will find myself in the tatters of my old life and shell shocked by my
imprisonment. My home, my business, my vehicle are all gone and I have little to return home to. I however keep my
spirits high and will embrace the challenges of the future, to rebuild my life once again.

Currently, I remain represented by a Public Defender that is overwhelmed by the caseload, and is not aligned with me
politically which causes great stresses and interpersonal difficulties. As such, I still seek a strong Defense attorney that
believes in my innocence and has the resolve to take my case to a trial that is rapidly approaching in late April.

God Bless you all, and God Bless America!

Sincerely,
Political Prisoner #376520
