Federal prosecutors say the behavior of Jan. 6 rioter and retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel Larry Brock while in prison, including posting calls to action to other Jan. 6 defendants, deeming himself a commander of a self-stylized 5th Allied Political Prisoner of War Wing and issuing online guidance through a proxy about the need for total loyalty to Donald Trump by all Jan. 6 defendants should be enough to convince a judge to bar his release pending appeal.
Brock, 55, referred to the prison where he is housed in Missouri as a gulag, prosecutors say, and he has allegedly made remarks that until such time as relieved by Colonel Rhodes or other senior officer, the prisoners of war from Jan. 6 should not break faith with [their] fellow patriots or make statements disloyal to Trump.
It is unclear who Rhodes is and Brocks attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Elmer Stewart Rhodes, notably, however, is the currently imprisoned seditious conspiracist and onetime leader of the Oath Keepers, a group once heavily populated by former military veterans.
Keep your heads up. You are not criminals. Follow the rules of the Commandant of the gulag you are just imprisoned in. Trust in God and the American people to deliver you from the actions of this illegitimate administration and its weaponized justice system, Brock wrote in a now-deleted post on X.com, then Twitter, in July 2023.

I think the military recruiters need to screen their prospects a lot better. Maybe use the questionnaire that Judge Merchan is using for the initial screening for jurors in traitor's fraud trial involving an extramarital relationship with an adult film star and covering up payments to her.
How did we get here? If it were a book, I wouldn't finish reading it. Worse than a penny dreadful.
