Patriot Plea: The J6 Journey of a Political Prisoner in the Divided States of America

"John Strand had the whole government thrown against him."

--Charlie Kirk

January 6, 2021 remains a political battlefield--an event buried beneath weaponized propaganda and government cover-ups. Caught in the crossfire was John Strand, a Hollywood actor turned civil rights advocate, who walked into the Capitol as a licensed security guard at a permitted rally ... and walked out branded an insurrectionist.

The FBI then placed him on a "Most Wanted" poster, and a SWAT team's battering ram shattered his front door--and the life he thought he knew.

Patriot Plea was written in prison--and it's the story of a man who refused to break. The media mocked him as "MAGA Zoolander." The DOJ tried to crush him. Instead, he became a symbol of defiance, now known as The Maverick Conservative, stepping forward as a candidate for Congress.

This is the firsthand account of a political hostage who paid the price for telling the truth--and discovered the secret to the world's greatest treasure.
