Ryan Samsel was arrested in January 2021. He was blinded by DC prison guards in one of his many beatings since his arrest.
Ryan Samsel attended the January 6, 2021, protests in Washington DC.
Samsel pushed the flimsy bike racks and stormed the US Capitol after Ray Epps was seen whispering in his ear. Samsel allegedly injured a female police officer.
Since his arrest, Ryan Samsel has been held in a Washington DC prison. On March 21, 2021, Ryan was awakened by correctional officers and his hands were zip-tied. Then they walked him to an unoccupied cell where he was brutally beaten by the officers. Ryan Samsel lost an eye in the beating. His face was smashed. The next day the guards beat him again.
In July 2021 Ryan’s attorney Joseph McBride joined Greg Kelly on Newsmax to reveal the unbelievable abuse of the Jan. 6 political prisoners in Washington DC.
This was not an isolated incident.
This is happening in America today.

On Monday US political prisoners Ryan Samsel, Dominic Pezzola called The Gateway Pundit from their prison block.
Ryan Samsel told The Gateway Pundit that he was beaten by the guards repeatedly, tied to a chair for 12 hours until he developed blood clots. Ryan suffered a broken face and a ruptured kidney. The guards later broke the right side of his face. Now he has precancerous growths on his chest that are spreading and the US government will not allow him medical treatment.
Here is the partial transcript from today’s call.
Warning: It is horrifying.
Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft:
Hey, tell me something real quick, Ryan. You mentioned something about reaps, and you don’t want to say that over the phone? What was that again?[00:04:06.830] – Ryan Samsel
Yeah, I don’t want to speak too much over a record of phone about that day with him because I really am in fear of my lifetime. I was assaulted three different occasions. In all three occasions, I had to be taken to the hospital when his name or anything was brought up. And I was in DCG the very first time. And I didn’t know exactly what the assault was pertaining, but that morning, Dominic Pezzola had asked why I was assaulted. And Dominic, what did they tell you? This is Dominic. He’ll tell you exactly what.[00:04:54.730] – Dominic Pezzola
Basically orders from the FBI. All the treatment we were getting.[00:04:59.050] – Jim Hoft
Okay, Dominic.[00:05:01.300] – Jim Hoft
Can you tell your last name, too? Tell everybody your last name.[00:05:04.690] –Dominic Pezzola.
Pezzola.[00:05:05.390] – Jim Hoft
P-E-Z-Z. Got it. Dominic Pezzola.[00:05:11.050] – Dominic Pezzola.
I was the first one to see Ryan after they beat him. They beat him good. I mean, his eyes were swollen shut, black and blue and everything.[00:05:18.430] – Jim Hoft
Oh, my God. That’s awful. And then they didn’t give him treatment or they did?[00:05:24.080] – Ryan Samsel
No.[00:05:25.690] – Dominic Pezzola.
Well, let me put him back on the phone. He can probably tell you better.[00:05:27.900] – Jim Hoft
Okay.[00:05:29.050] – Ryan Samsel
What’s up, Jim? Hey.[00:05:31.150] – Jim Hoft
Yeah, I was just going to say, did they give you a treatment after they found you? Beat up Dominic? Found you?[00:05:36.290] – Ryan Samsel
No. So they took me to the hospital, and Howard University Hospital found I had a blood clot, my left shoulder, and I had a broken face, I had a broken nose, a ruptured kidney, and they ordered I get further treatment, and they never gave me that. So then I went to a vascular surgeon after the assault in Virginia, and she said she recommended that I go to physical rehab. And the prosecutor, which name is Karen Rocklin, she denied me that. And then when I went to Warsaw, that’s where I got the worst beaten. They broke the right side of my face, and I have a blood clot and my right head, and they left me in a chair for about ten to 12 hours.[00:06:21.560] – Jim Hoft
And I tied to a chair or what?[00:06:23.760] – Ryan Samsel
Yeah, it’s a corner-strength chair. They tie me in the chair for 12 hours, and I end up getting a blood clot in my right leg. And I asked because I know what the blood clots feel like. And when I asked and then they tried to cover it up. And they forced me to take this. They squirt the stuff up my nostril and said that I overdosed on drugs. And then when they tested me for drugs, I obviously came up negative. So they tried to cover up, but when I went to the hospital, the doctor at the hospital was the same doctor at the jail. It’s the same doctor. And he had to mark that it was an assault. And they took pictures. And from there, they transferred me out.
Now Ryan has precancerous growths and the government will not allow him medical treatment.
This is America under the new totalitarians.

At the beginning of August, researchers published the results of a survey on health outcomes for “unvaccinated” respondents. Almost 18,500 people from around the world completed the survey monthly which asked questions regarding their health during the period September 2021 and February 2022. The largest numbers of participants were from Europe, North America and Australasia.
Participants’ reasons for avoiding Covid-19 “vaccines” were: a preference for natural medicine, distrust of pharma, distrust of government information, poor/limited trial data and fear of long-term adverse reactions.
The survey’s authors wrote:
During the survey period, the greatest incidence of Covid-19 disease was reported in the 50-69y range, peaking at 12.3%, in January 2022. Persons at 70y and above were least affected (1.3%), with 10.7% and 3.8% in the 20 to 49y band, and in the 1 to 19y group, respectively.
Most rated their symptoms as “mild” (14.4%), with 2% reporting “severe” disease. Just 0.4% of the cohort reported hospitalisation (as in- or out-patients).
Nearly two-thirds reported taking vitamin D, C, zinc, quercetin, or a combination, for prevention, with 71% using vitamin D, C, and zinc for treatment.
The findings suggest that opting out of the world’s largest medical experiment, relying on natural immunity, self-care with supplements, and/or ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, appeared to contribute to low incidences of severe disease, hospitalisation, or death. [emphasis our own]

However, between 57% and 61% of respondents in Southern Europe and Western Europe, Australia/New Zealand and South America, reported being targets of governmental victimisation.
Guest Post by Julie Comber, Ph.D.
When Brian Lilla discovered how toxic Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller had made California’s Napa Valley, he wrote and produced an investigative documentary that he hopes will inspire communities to open a dialogue about the dangers of glyphosate.
When Brian Lilla moved from Oakland, California, to Napa Valley he made an unfortunate discovery: Napa Valley was beautiful, but it also was highly toxic.
Why? Because of the widespread use of Roundup weedkiller on the region’s vineyards.
Lilla’s discovery led him to make “Children Of The Vine,” an investigative documentary on Roundup and the pesticide’s impact on public health.
The film weaves together facts about Roundup, and its key active ingredient — glyphosate — with stories about people who developed cancer after using Roundup, scientists, lawyers and journalists working to end the use of Roundup, and farmers who do and those who don’t use the weedkiller.
Lilla is the documentary’s director, producer, publicist, writer and researcher.
The film’s title, “Children Of The Vine,” is a nod to the ’70s horror film, “Children of the Corn,” based on a short story by Stephen King.
“My wife says that ‘Children Of The Vine’ sounds like a horror film,” Lilla said. “I always tell her it is.”
Lilla told The Defender his discovery about the toxic effect of Roundup on Napa Valley inspired him to make the film.
“We had our first daughter in 2014, and then found out Napa County had the highest rate of cancer in children in California in 2015,” said Lilla.
At first, Lilla’s idea was to investigate why the rate of cancer was so high in Napa County’s children, and make a film about it. But an oncologist he spoke with told him it would take a long time and be very expensive to conduct an investigation like that.
On the other hand, the oncologist said, he could use common sense, and consider what the major industries were in the area, and what toxins they produce.
Wine-producing vineyards are a major industry in Napa Valley. Lilla described going for early morning bike rides in January and February, and seeing farmworkers driving ATVs through the rows of grape vines.
They were hauling huge canisters of the herbicide Roundup and spraying it to prevent weeds.
Lilla could smell the chemical.
Glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, was patented in the U.S. in 1964, as a descaling and chelating agent.
In 1970, Monsanto discovered glyphosate was an effective herbicide and patented it for this use. In 1974, Monsanto brought glyphosate to market under the trade name Roundup.
The use of Roundup skyrocketed — increasing by 1,500% — after the commercialization of “Roundup Ready” crops, which were genetically engineered to be glyphosate-tolerant.
The first Roundup Ready crop to go to market was soybeans, followed by canola, cotton, corn, alfalfa and sugarbeets.
Lilla interviewed Carey Gillam, an investigative journalist who wrote “Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science.” Gillam started investigating genetically engineered crops “and what they were really about” in the mid-1990s, just after their introduction.
Gillam told Lilla the purpose of the genetic engineering “was about selling more glyphosate, about selling more chemicals. It’s not about ‘feeding the world.’ It’s never been about feeding the world. It’s still not about feeding the world. It’s about increasing the use of glyphosate, of pesticides.”
In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A),” opening the door for lawsuits.
The German pharmaceutical company Bayer AG in 2018 bought Monsanto for $63 billion, after which Bayer inherited Monsanto’s legal woes.
In the U.S., approximately 140,000 plaintiffs have alleged they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma from exposure to Roundup, and that they should have been warned about the risk.
One of those cases was Jack McCall. In the “Children Of The Vine,” Jack’s widow, Teri McCall, said they were careful to avoid toxins, but Jack believed Roundup was safe. So for 30 years, he sprayed it around their 20-acre farm.
Jack died in December 2015, from a rare and aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Teri filed a wrongful death suit against Monsanto in 2016, claiming the company downplayed the risk of using Roundup. Her attorneys included Michael Baum, Cynthia Garber and Brent Wisner (who appears in the film) of Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., of Kennedy & Madonna.
Commenting on the McCall case, Kennedy, who is chairman and chief legal counsel for Children’s Health Defense, said:
“Glyphosate is the product of both modern chemistry and a profoundly corrupt corporate culture. It is sad for our country and our people that such a powerful economic leader can only be trusted to put private greed before public health.”
Glyphosate may do more than increase the risk of cancer. Part of what makes glyphosate so toxic is that it’s a very efficient chelator. This means it easily binds to metals and minerals, which can disrupt gut microbes by making minerals unavailable to the microbes.
In Lilla’s film, Dr. Zach Bush, a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care, points out that glyphosate also disrupts the shikimate pathway, an important metabolic pathway in both plants and microbes. Beneficial microbes are particularly sensitive to glyphosate.
The chemical industry claimed humans could not store glyphosate in our bodies, that we excrete glyphosate at the same rate we ingest it.
However, said Bush, “Recent studies in breastmilk are starting to suggest that certain glands in the body are able to accumulate glyphosate at even higher levels within our tissues. We’re seeing as much as 700 to 1,600 times more Roundup in breastmilk samples than we are allowed to have in our water system.”
Lilla told The Defender one of the things he learned through making the film was how flawed the regulatory process for agrichemicals is.
For example, in the film, Dr. Nathan Donley, senior scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity, explained that the assessment of toxicity submitted by companies to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) only gives data on the toxicity of the active ingredient, not the toxicity of the final product.
With Roundup, glyphosate is the active ingredient, but the mix includes the surfactant polyethoxylated tallowamine, to enhance the toxicity of glyphosate.
Donley said Monsanto used the enhanced toxicity provided by the other ingredients to get its patent, but then told the EPA the other ingredients didn’t enhance toxicity in order to get the agency to approve it.
“It’s brilliant, really,” Donley said, “if it wasn’t so immoral and corrupt.”
Lilla’s hope for the film is that “it will inform and inspire audiences.” He said he doesn’t want there to be a “witch hunt” against farmers who use Roundup. Rather, the goal is to generate dialogue within communities to end the use of Roundup.
Kim Konte, executive director of Non-Toxic Neighborhoods, appears in the film. She told The Defender her hope is that “the film will empower people to take action where they live. To begin the dialogue with local elected officials, who are often unaware of the copious amounts of chemicals that are being applied.”
Lilla also hopes the film will keep the pressure on Bayer to phase out the use of Roundup. In 2021, Bayer announced it will stop selling glyphosate-based herbicides for residential use in the U.S. beginning in 2023.
But the chemical giant will continue selling glyphosate-based herbicides for professional and agricultural use.
Innovative community engagement
For those who want to see the film, Lilla told The Defender it will be available for wide distribution on a large platform (like Netflix, HBO or Discovery) within a year.
For now, Lilla said he is focused on a community screening campaign for “Children Of The Vine.”
How does it work? You won’t see ads for “Children Of The Vine,” saying “Coming to a theater near you!” But the documentary can indeed come to a theater near you, Lilla said — you just need to ask.
Lilla said the community screening campaign is audience-driven. Individuals or groups can contact him to book a screening in their community.
Once booked, Lilla and his team support the organizers to hold a successful event that promotes meaningful dialogue about the use of Roundup in the community.
So far, screenings have taken place in communities in California, in various community settings — even on a farm — and at colleges and universities. Usually, a panel follows the screening, and dialogue among community members is encouraged.
“Of course,” said Lilla, “Someone can watch the film alone, and it might inspire them to make different personal choices. But when people come together as a community and have a dialogue, that helps bring change.”
Tammy Buettner, who was fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, testifies before the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 13, 2022 (Video screenshot)
In tearful testimony before the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, a pediatric nurse rebuked the supervisor whose vaccine mandate led to her dismissal, preventing her from caring for children whom she charged were contracting myocarditis from the shots amid a cover-up.
"I'm a nurse – at least I was – at Rady Children's in the cardiovascular intensive care unit," said Tammy Buettner at the Sept. 13 meeting, "until Nathan and his misinformation pandemic caused me to lose my job."
Her reference was to Nathan Fletcher, whose failed policies, she said, caused the loss of a career she loved.
Buettner said she cared for children suffering from myocarditis "after the vaccine."
As a charge nurse, she asked physicians why they weren't reporting the vaccine injuries to the databased established by the CDC and the FDA to provide safety signals, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, or VAERS.
Buettner said it was an "unspoken" rule that personnel in the unit were not allowed to talk about the lack of reporting.
"I've worked for 13 years in this community taking care of some of the sickest patients," she said, choking back tears. "The day before I was taken away from my position, I was actively given compressions to a child ... pushing calcium into his veins to keep him alive."
The child went home, she said, "yet I was ridiculed by those who were supposed to be my colleagues and my friends."
"I am the face of your misinformation campaign, Nathan. I am the one who lost my career in pediatric cardiovascular ICU care," she said.
Buettner, who noted she never got COVID, said she followed the rules, testing for the disease twice a week and wearing the required protective equipment, "because I loved by job and I loved this community."
Establishment media "fact checkers," relying on the CDC, typically have slapped a "misinformation" label on reports that the COVID-19 vaccines are associated with a significantly high rate of myocarditis, potentially causing blood clots, heart attack or stroke.
But the CDC's analysis of its own Vaccine Safety Datalink surveillance data shows the incidence of myocarditis after vaccination is three to five times higher for young men than what the agency was reporting at this time last year.
See her testimony:
In an interview later with San Diego's KUSI-TV, Buettner said the speech she gave to the board earlier this month was not the one she intended.
She explained that she was prepared to address the board's allocation of funds for COVID testing.
"But when I got up there, I just was explaining who I was, and realized I'm not a nurse anymore," she said. "I don't take care of these children anymore, and that's the speech I ended up giving."
Buettner told KUSI she called Fletcher's office to voice her concerns and never received a call back.
See the interview with KUSI-TV:
Attention @NathanFletcher: You represent all of your constituents, not just those that voted for you.
Why are you ignoring Tawny Buettner?
Buettner lost her career as a nurse due to the vaccine mandate.

IMPORTANT NOTE: How is it possible that the greatest and freest nation in world history has so rapidly come under the control of serially lying, deranged, power-mad sociopaths – leaders with nothing but contempt for America, for its history, its Constitution, its Judeo-Christian culture and its people? Orwell’s “1984” points directly to the answer: The elites are changing America’s language itself, so that people’s words – and therefore, their very thoughts – inevitably come under the control of the ruling class. It’s a way of bending reality in real time, so that what is illusion appears to be true, while what is real and true appears to be lies, misinformation, “hate speech,” “conspiracy theories” and “extremism.” This extraordinarily powerful but little-understood weapon of war employed 24/7 by the Marxist left is completely explained, exposed and exploded in the August issue of WND’s acclaimed monthly Whistleblower agazine, “NEWSPEAK 2022: How tyrants and lunatics are enslaving Americans by redefining everything.”
