I have two things to report about political prisoners currently being held by the U.S. fascists. I hate reporting either of them, but I'll get the "even worse" one over with first. Then comes the merely "bad" one. 1) From what I have heard, after Dick Simkanin was released recently, he decided not to report for "supervised release," based on the theory that doing supervised release is "contractual." From what I've heard, he was then arrested, and sentenced to seven MORE years in prison for violating "supervised release." I haven't independently confirmed that last part, but he is in BOP custody again.
At the moment, I'm too discouraged and infuriated to even comment on this. If it turns out to be true, and doesn't get reversed .... well, I can't even think about it right now. But I thought you all should know.
(Dear G.N., I was about to forward what you sent on to Mr. Simkanin when I heard the news. Hopefully you'll notice this note and let me know what you want me to do now.)
2) As some of you may know, the Bureau of Prisons has been shipping Sherry Jackson around, for the sin of having pointing out the crumby medical attention she got a while back. (Classic government behavior: someone points out the bad they're doing, and their response is to attack the truth-teller.) Even though the BOP website lists Sherry's location as "in transit." I recently got a letter giving her address. Hopefully she's still there, and she's having a tough time, so any of you who want to drop her a note, do it now:
Sherry Jackson 59085019
RADDF
POB 730
Lovejoy, GA 30250
That's all the lousy news I have for now. I think I'm going to throw up on the next person I see waving an American flag.
Sincerely,
Larken Rose
