Political Prisoner - The Untold Story of January 6th

Derrick Evans

Maison d'édition: Defiance Press and Publishing

Synopsis

West Virginia Delegate Derrick Evans never expected to become the face of political persecution when he peacefully entered the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. In this powerful and deeply personal memoir, Evans takes readers on his harrowing journey from being a newly-elected Republican representative to becoming a federal inmate labeled as an "insurrectionist."
 
After attending the "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington DC, Evans found himself swept into one of the most controversial events in recent American history. His ten-minute walk through the east side of the Capitol—captured on his own social media livestream—would lead to his arrest by the FBI in front of his children, the loss of his political position, and ultimately, a felony conviction and three months in federal prison.
 
"Political Prisoner" provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes account of the legal ordeal that consumed nearly two years of Evans' life as he fought against what he describes as politically-motivated prosecution. With unflinching honesty, Evans recounts the trauma inflicted on his young family, the harsh realities of prison life, and his unwavering determination to stand by his beliefs despite enormous personal cost.
 
More than just a personal story, this memoir raises profound questions about freedom of speech, equal application of justice, and the weaponization of federal agencies against political opponents in modern America.
 
If you enjoyed "Hostages of the Regime," "January 6: How Democrats Used the Capitol Protest," and "American Injustice," you'll love "Political Prisoner: The Untold Story of January 6."

EPISODE 1 : How to Exchange?

Devdutt Pattanaik

In the jungle, the big eat the small; no one helps anyone. In dharma, the big help the small. But this can only happen when you feel secure. Most rich, powerful, and knowledgeable people are not secure. This is why they continue to consume, combat, and compete, oblivious of other people's hunger. They fear they will be eaten if they do not eat. They live in a dog-eat-dog world. Their life is an eternal rat race. Full of violence, stress, and arguments. A jungle. A war-room. A Rana-Bhoomi.

Dharmic Leaders work towards being secure so that they can be ambitious for others, content for the self, and generous for both. Dharmic Leaders feel successful when they feed others and get others to feed them, voluntarily. They strive to create a pleasure-dome of collaboration, reciprocity, and benevolence. A ranga-Bhoomi.

This book seeks to introduce Homo economicus, the rational selfish being favored by modern society, to Homo Dharmicus, the sensitive and compassionate being of ancient Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu lore.

A lot depends on how we see the other. Do we see them as opportunities or threats, or do we see them as people, with strengths and weaknesses?

In this chapter, we will analyze the act of giving, receiving, and observing.

AUDREY HEPBURN
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Audrey Hepburn, born Audrey Kathleen Ruston, was a British actress and humanitarian recognized as a film and fashion icon. She rose to stardom with Roman Holiday (1953), winning an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for her performance. Hepburn's notable films include Sabrina, Funny Face, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Later in life, she dedicated herself to UNICEF, working in impoverished communities. She was awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom for her humanitarian work. Hepburn was known for her unique style, often wearing simple, elegant silhouettes designed by Givenchy. She was considered one of the most beautiful women of all time, and remains a style inspiration.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
Audrey Hepburn's father, Joseph Victor Anthony Ruston, changed his surname to Hepburn-Ruston because he mistakenly believed he was descended from James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell. He may have done this at the insistence of Audrey's mother in order to appear more aristocratic.
In the mid-1930s, Audrey's parents were involved with the British Union of Fascists, with her mother even meeting Adolf Hitler and writing favorably about him. However, her mother's views changed after her uncle was executed for resistance activities in 1942.
During the German occupation of the Netherlands, Audrey used the name Edda van Heemstra because her English-sounding name was considered dangerous. She also gave silent dance performances that raised money for the Dutch resistance.

Sunbelt Capitalism and the...

Kirstine Taylor

The story of how the American South became the most incarcerated region in the world’s most incarcerated nation.
 
Sunbelt Capitalism and the Making of the Carceral State examines the evolution of southern criminal punishment from Jim Crow to the dawn of mass incarceration, charting this definitive era of carceral transformation and expansion in the southern United States. The demise of the county chain gang, the professionalization of police, and the construction of large-scale prisons were among the sweeping changes that forever altered the southern landscape and bolstered the region’s capacity to punish. What prompted this southern revolution in criminal punishment?
 
Kirstine Taylor argues that the crisis in the cotton fields and the arrival of Sunbelt capitalism in the south’s rising metropolises prompted lawmakers to build expansive, modern criminal punishment systems in response to Brown v. Board of Education and the Black freedom movements of the 1960s and ‘70s. Taking us inside industry-hunting expeditions, school desegregation battles, the sit-in movement, prisoners’ labor unions, and policy commissions, Taylor tells the story of how a modernizing south became the most incarcerated region in the globe’s most incarcerated nation.
