Reasons NOT To Be A Pen Pal to a J6er
I, for many years, have been someone who has enjoyed getting things done in politics.
More than being an activist or an organizer (though I can reasonably be considered both), I’m probably more of a political operative or ideological operative.
I like to pinpoint problems and to go full speed ahead at them. Tyranny is a beloved target of mine. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail. I go back to the drawing board and go again.
Over the last few months, I have helped gathered together some J6ers and their supporters and have helped put together a project called Living Heroes.
We are doing a few things within the confines of that project:
One of them is building a pipeline of information from prison — the dark holes that they thought J6ers would crawl into and die in — and the halls of power.
The opposite of dying is happening.
Some of these rascals seem to thrive off suffering.
Indomitable might be a good word to describe many of them.
So far so good with the project. There are good and caring folks in Congress who want that exact thing, but their staffs are so stretched thin that there is no chance they are getting any more J6 pressure applied without some help.
And where does that help come from, that pressure?
People like you and me.
And what does that pressure look like?
That is you and me writing to J6ers...
as pen pals and...
sharing some of their troubles with each other to see if there is anything that can be done.
And then after that, it looks like me, and a few other people, spending the time as we already do: contacting members of Congress asking them to do more for these guys.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil.
I need your help turning these prisoners into squeaky wheels.
And truthfully, that is as simple as just being a diligent pen pal — I’d ideally like you to write your pen pal once a month and to tell me that you will accept as many as four pen pals to start off.
It’s a pretty cool dream, and it’s working already.
And I’ll show you how to do it in a way that makes it simple on you (less than 30 minutes of effort a week, maybe less) and yet will be very fulfilling.
In fact, I suspect that dozens of people who sign up in the next day or two are going to tell me in the next month “Can I have a few more pen pals please?”
The process is a little bit addictive, especially since so many of these folks are such good folks.
But there are people who are not sold on the idea yet. And for good reason.
Anyway, if you are convinced that you want in, hit me up.
Press reply to this email.
You have two more days to get in on this at the beginning of the pen pal program. Hit reply and tell me a little about yourself and say “I WANT IN ALLAN, SIGN ME UP FOR FOUR PEN PALS. I’LL WRITE THEM EACH ONCE A MONTH.”
Or you can choose a higher or lower number.
Please do that right now if you are convinced, JUST HIT REPLY. (Allan@realstevo.com)
OR...
If you aren’t convinced, read below “Reasons Not To Be A Pen Pal to a J6er”
Here’s a few reasons that I think are valid things to consider.
Reason 1: “The FBI Will Arrest Me For Writing A Letter To A J6er”
If you write a J6er, the government may come for you. It’s true. They might. It’s really, really unlikely, but they might. You might alternately end up on a list. That’s more likely. You might even be on one already. That’s the most likely option. Now you might end up on your 9th, or 12th or 15th list. Who knows. I used to be on a very special list. It was called the “Do Not Fly List.” That was a no fun period. Somehow I’m still here. Yes. You might end up on a list.
At the same time, I believe you will decrease the rights of these prisoners by buying into that fear of government too much, and will ultimately reduce your own rights with that thinking. Freedom is built by people pushing hard in the right places. I can’t imagine the FBI having the manpower to worry about everyone who writes the prisoners, and if they do, then I think we end up with another useful fight on our hands that will further turn the American people against such goofy behavior.
Before you get too comfortable with the idea of Agent Smith showing up at your house, let me share with you that it has been my experience that: THOSE WHO TALK ABOUT THE FBI THE LOUDEST ARE DOING THE LEAST.
Yes, that’s right. I’ve spent days, weeks, months of my life calling people on the phone to get them politically involved in pro-liberty causes (on a person by person basis, phone calls work so much better than emails).
And you know what I’ve found. If you say these words to me on the phone “What if the FBI comes after us?” I know one thing about you for certain: You do zero, zilch, nada in life that is threatening to the regime. You might do bad things. You might do illegal things. You might even be a rotten person. But you do not threaten the regime. And those who do not threaten the regime support the regime. It’s binary. Either you give more support in life for the regime or you give more threat in life to the regime. You can’t have a net of both. Being both — that’s some goofy gender queer talk, or maybe something from Isaac Newton. You can’t be both. You are one of the other. And that fear of the FBI talk, I have heard that comment not a few times and it is ALWAYS from the person who is doing nothing. Catch yourself saying this aloud “What if the FBI comes after us?” and you are probably doing nothing of consequence against the regime.
Sad but true.
Somehow, the people who have determined to be effective against tyranny dealt with the issue long ago, perhaps telling themselves “I hope the FBI comes after me. That would show what a threat I have to the system. It would be like a pat on the back.”
And then 99.999% of them go on to live free lives, being really annoying to the system, and never actually getting in any trouble for it.
The rest become examples to the fraidy-cats. But you know what, if you mailed a single one of these J6ers, you would know they are anything but fraidy-cats. Well, actually, a few of them have that tendency, but most of them are tough as nails. Like real tough. If they get forty years in jail, you won’t hear them whine.
It’s kind of neat to see.
If you are a fraidy-cat, this might even be a chance to stretch those muscles a little.
Reason 2: “Someone Will Have My Address”
If you ask me, I think this a great opportunity to work on some of your personal privacy protocol. I don’t think anyone should have mail delivered to their addresses if they can prevent it - not from Verizon, not from the Sharper Image, not from your creepy friend Bill Gates.
I think the distance of the P.O. Box offers a little more useful privacy. In all likelihood, your local laws probably even allow you to register to vote from you local P.O. Box. I’m a little bit of a freak for personal privacy. Every time I write that to you group of degenerates by the way, that I’m a little bit of a freak about my personal privacy, SOMEONE TRIES TO HACK ME.
Yes, I know, I have more than a few Bitcoin fans and black hat hackers reading this. And yes, I know, hacking me (or anyone) that says the word privacy is like a blue ribbon pinned on the chest.
I think that is really funny, by the way. Kudos to the diligent hackers in the group. I know you are not a group of degenerates. I know a few of you are though. I read your emails to me after all !
Anyway, if you do not want your mailing address being more on the radar than it already is, then get yourself a P.O. Box at the local post office or a private mailbox at the local print store.
That being said, you probably become safer by giving a J6er your address. It’s not like you are giving just anyone in jail your address. It’s not like you are giving Tyrone the rapist your address. If you give a J6er your address what is he really going to do? Come to your home and promote liberty? These guys just want to go back home. Still, if you don’t have one, I think this is a good excuse to get yourself a PO Box.
I don’t let anyone have my address. In fact, you can probably find about a dozen wrong addresses out there for me on the internet. But if I were to let anyone have my address, J6ers would be lower on my list of concerns that Verizon, the Sharper Image, or Bill Gates — none of whom I want to have my address in a database. I would like to welcome you to make your own evaluation of the situation.
Pause To Address My Motivation
As always, I wish to be not some guy you read emails from for a few weeks or months. I wish to be your lifelong advisor who you repeatedly find yourself turning to in order to have an even more meaningful and fulfilling life. Lifelong advisor. That’s who I want to be to you.
I am much happier to see you say “No!” to this invitation than to be burnt our or in some other way not well served by an invitation that is not good for you. I think this invitation is good for most people. I think ten years from now, being able to say “I was a pen pal to a J6er” is going to be like an eternal badge of courage.
If history turns out the way I think it will from out period, it’s possible that while they watch the Ken Burns AI special on January 6 about 100 years from now, that your kids will say to your great grandkids “Grandma and grandpa believed so strongly in freedom and in our country that they were both pen pals to J6ers who were political hostages of the regime.”
Other Random Things You Will Want To Read If You Care About Privacy
In addition to PO Boxes, I also, I think you should have a password vault. Don’t use the Podesta the Molesta password Password123 for all your accounts, you know the Podesta the Molesta password that helped lose the election for Hillary.
Also, it is good to check out your email account periodically here to see if you have been hacked and by whom:
https://haveibeenpwned.com/
Also the word “Pwned” pronounced “Poned,” is an amusingly gratifying word to say.
And I have about a million other little things like that about privacy which I am happy to tell you all about, but which would surely bore about 9/10 of you, and which seriously distracts from the matter at hand.
Reason 3: “What If I Draw A Real Criminal As A Pen Pal?”
A note to my FBI handler, “Kevin”: These two images above and below this text are not correlated in any way, nor do they have anything to do with the title of this section. I would never refer to Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney as “traitors” or “criminals.”
The movie J6 A True Timeline (https://open.ink/collections/j6) does a painfully unbiased job presenting the events of January 6, 2021 in a one hour segment. I do not like how ugly some of the J6ers look in that movie.
If you ask me, with 200 plus federal agents in that crowd (according to the Tucker Carlson interview of Rep. Clay Higgins from January 6, 2024 - great 20 minute interview), it is impossible to blame anyone for what took place that day. Their phones largely had no signal. They were being assaulted for hours by their own government. Agent provocateurs from their own government riled up the crowd. It was an orchestrated event.
People fell for it.
Sleezy, repulsive, authoritarian liar FBI Director Chris Wray should be on trial, not 1400 J6ers. Sorry. That’s just me. The men and women who stood up and went to Washington DC that day are heroes. The ones who got pulled into jail are as well as far as I’m concerned.
Three hundred years from now, those men and women who stood up against the coup of 2020 will be remembered as heroes. 50 years from now as well. Today, I know we are all a little iffy about it all. Let me save you some of the black and white. These people are heroes. They deserve our support. After they are all released and pardoned, we can sort it out further.
Watch that movie if you are unsure about what happened that day. It is well worth it.
And if you draw a real criminal and don’t like the guy, let me know you don’t like him and you can have someone else. Basically every J6er has dozens and dozens of news articles written about him pre-trial by Republicans and Democrats alike that ruined his life.
It won’t be hard for you to understand the government case against him and pile on if you wish. And I won’t guilt you if you choose to bail out on someone. In all likelihood, they won’t even be able to write you about what happened that day, especially if they are awaiting an appeal.
Reason 4: “I Might Not Like Them”
Also, if your pen pal sucks, and you just don’t like him — listen, some human beings can be real crab apples. If that is who you end up drawing, I’ll say to you “Have a heart and give the guy a chance. I’ll give you another pen pal on top of him.” If that doesn’t do the job, and you really want to unburden yourself of the lovable old curmudgeon, I’ll of course let you do that.
If you have other worries about this whole thing. Let me know. I’ll be happy to share my thoughts on it with you.
Either way, press reply and give me a yes or no. How about it? And if you are not already signed up, then write me at allan@realstevo.com to join in.
Do so before the end of the day on March 1 to be part of the Political Prisoner Pen Pal Program (P5) from the beginning.
