Amid shocking J6 sentences, why wasn’t this woman even charged?
Turns out, Ray Epps was not the only person on January 6 who can be seen on video urging the crowd at the Capitol to get rowdy but who has never been arrested.
As reported in THE EPOCH TIMES in a subscription-only story, “California resident Megan Dawn Paradise --- who urged protesters to charge up the Capitol’s east steps on January 6 before stealing a baseball from the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi --- testified to the FBI about a fellow Californian, leading to two criminal charges being filed against the man.” That man: Eric S. Christie, 56, of Sherman Oaks, California. He’s about to stand trial in a DC courtroom, so let’s just say a guilty verdict won’t be surprising. According to Christie’s defense attorney, he never entered the Capitol and was unaware of Paradise’s activities that afternoon.
But the Epoch Times reports that Paradise has avoided arrest despite having been placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, as number 9, and remaining on it to this day. And, yes, as with Epps, there is video of her as “a loud, consistent voice urging protesters to go inside.”
She’s seen shouting into a bullhorn, “Give us liberty or give us death! We’re going inside! This is our building!” She allegedly even shouts, “Treason!” and “Take their shields!”
She was inside the Capitol for an hour or so, entered Nancy Pelosi’s office, and reportedly has said she “sat at Pelosi’s desk and smoked a joint.” She left with one of Nancy’s baseballs and a Papermate pen.
Richard “Bigo” Barnett, 62, a retired firefighter from Gravette, Arkansas, was just sentenced on Wednesday to 4 ½ years in prison and 3 years of supervised release for what his attorney, Joseph McBride, says is behavior similar to that of Paradise.
“Do I think she is working for the government?” McBride asked. “To some extent, absolutely. We’ve always believed that. It’s unexplainable that she went in and essentially did what Richard Barnett did and she hasn’t been prosecuted.”
According to McBride, she was lawyered-up for her interview with the FBI and seemed to have some sort of pre-arranged immunity grant. ET was not able to confirm whether or not she had one. This is a developing story; there are other sites we chose not to link to at this point because we know you count on this newsletter to verify information first and get it right.
One J6 political prisoner --- and, yes, he was one --- Jacob Chansley, the man known best for wearing a cape and buffalo horns, has had a lot of time to think since the day he was arrested and jailed. Now that he has served his sentence, he’s made a video about what he learned: mostly the value of patience, forgiveness and speaking the truth.
He says the world is not getting worse, but that “truth about global corruption is simply getting more obvious.” He advises us to “use the truth as a tool” to reshape ourselves and the world. As for himself, he says his ordeal has only strengthened his revolve.
He cites Jesus as his example but also quotes Ghandi: “First, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.”
“So it seems I’ve already undergone the first three stages of this process,” he says. “Now, all there’s left to do is win.”
UPDATE: In a shocking sentencing on Thursday, Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Proud Boys, was sentenced to 18 years in prison (!) after being found guilty of seditious conspiracy. He was not even in Washington DC on January 6. And later on Thursday, Kelly Meggs of the Florida Proud Boys chapter, also convicted of seditious conspiracy, was sentenced to 12 years.
(Note: U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves is orchestrating these trials, which essentially criminalize political speech, to lay the groundwork for charging Trump similarly and trying him in DC.)

I’m linking to the account of Rhodes’ sentencing in THE NEW YORK TIMES, just to make a few points about the factors that apparently went into the judge’s decision to give him such an incredibly long sentence.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/25/us/politics/oath-keepers-stewart-rhodes-sentenced
The NYT reports that this is the first J6 sentence “to be increased for fitting the legal definition of terrorism.” Judge Amit P. Mehta berated him: “You, sir, present an ongoing threat and peril to this country, to the Republic and to the very fabric of our democracy.” Prosecutors had, in fact, argued that American democracy was on the line (!) and had recommended a sentence of 25 years. (!!)
To argue that point, one of the lead prosecutors said that four days ago, in an interview from jail, Rhodes had repeated “the lie” that the election had been marred by fraud and asserted that the government was “coming after those on the political right.”
You know, we could make a very good case that the government IS coming after those on the political right. In fact, we have. There’s plenty of evidence to show the left and right are being treated very differently by the legal system. Are we threatening the Republic by saying so?
There’s also a case to be made that the election was marred by fraud. Without even getting into the role allegedly played by election machines and such, the Trump-Russia Hoax was a major fraud committed against American voters. And for some reason, leftist attorney Marc Elias was working tirelessly on behalf of the DNC to unconstitutionally bypass state legislatures and make cheating much easier. Should I be arrested for saying so? Who’s really putting democracy in peril?
