Hello friends and family,

In December shortly after the incident described below, Lonnie was moved to a facility in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania with about five other Jan 6 defendants. The facility limits phone calls to roughly one 15 minute call per day and does not have tablet, so communication is very limited. A letter was only just received dated January, with an update Lonnie asked to be published, below:

FREEDOM 1.3.2022

My dear friends and fellow Patriots, it will soon be a full year since I heard that clanging door closing behind me and the key turning in the lock, signaling the end of my freedom. Unless you have had your freedom taken from you, it is hard, if not impossible to comprehend just how horrifying and how absolute it sounds and feels. Mankind was not created to be locked away in such a small space. It’s not just the body that needs space, but the mind needs it just as bad, maybe even more so.

I met a man once who had been locked up for 28 years. He was only 58 years old. I sat and wondered, how does anyone keep their sanity while being locked away that long? We talked for a good while, then we prayed and the told me how he did it. God, the Father, Jesus Christ, our Savior and the Holy Spirit, our Comforter. You see, God has said he will not put more on us, or allow more to be put on us than we can bear. But we must know and understand how God blesses us with many abilities and those are physical as well as mental.

Now this man was a black brother who was a trustee who had been assigned to keep watch over me while I was on suicide watch. You see, this man who was watching over me had been locked up well over half of his life, and he was still sane, thanks and praise be to God, our Creator and Heavenly Father. This man was happy, talking about his family and how his family gave him the love and support he needed to lie. I may have gotten a bit off track…
