America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) Creative Director John Strand has had his telephone privileges removed, his approved email list purged, and has been locked in an isolation cell since August 31^st. Prison authorities imposed the punitive measures on Strand after his August 18^th phone interview with Real America’s Voice.

Strand is currently serving 32 months in prison for securing the safety of organization founder Dr. Simone Gold during her five-minute medical freedom speech in the Capitol on January 6^th.

Notorious communist Lavrentiy Beria, who served as Secret Police Chief for the Soviets, is remembered for his infamous boast, “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” Strand remained notably cordial throughout his interview, even as he described being served Soviet-style justice by a weaponized DOJ turning constitutional protections on their head:

I was not innocent till proven guilty, I was guilty until proven convicted.

When the host, Grant Stinchfield, stated his belief that the obstruction of proceedings charge against Strand is unconstitutional, since it essentially outlaws protests of government actions, Strand asserted that it’s not only unconstitutional but is a main weapon in the war against dissidents:

The Title 18:1512 felony charge of obstruction of justice or of an official proceeding is completely illegally used here in an absolutely absurd way . . . it also really highlights this DOJ that, with no shame whatsoever and with no . . . accountability, is just ramrodding people as they choose to achieve their agenda and it really is a fascistic operation.

And people should be concerned, I mean, no greater proof than myself and people like me in prison as innocent political prisoners in the middle of the United States of America.

When asked about prison conditions, Strand explained the difficulties of spending most of the day in randomly timed lockdowns in an inadequately sized cell, but acknowledged that he generally feels safe around, and even supported by, fellow inmates:

The thing I hear most from people is, “man, that was a setup. They had agents involved in instigating violence.”
