Imprisoned for Watching My Pillow Guy

Timothy Birdnow

One of the Jan. 6 protesters is going back to prison - for watching Mike Lindell.

How is this qualitatively any different from what the Soviets used to do? America has become a gulag.

Doug Jensen of Des Moines, Iowa, violated a condition of his home-monitoring release which prohibited him from from using the internet so he could watch online content promoting unfounded fraud allegationsabout the 2020 election, Iowa Starting Line reported, citing federal court documents. Jensen was released from jail in Washington, D.C., July 13, into his wifeâ€™s custody only to be discovered watching content on the video streaming site Rumble Aug. 13,according to a court filing.

Jensen is accused by prosecutors of leading a mob after Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman on Jan. 6 while carrying a knife in his pocket.

Jensen admitted to the court officer that heâ€™d spent two days watching Lindellâ€™s symposium, at which Lindell promisedto deliver evidence that the 2020 election had been rigged against former President Donald Trump by actors from China and elsewhere in the world.

Mike Lindell noted tonight that when speaking about Dominion Voting Systems, he now has to use the word "allegedlyâ€ while throwing up air quotes, per his lawyerâ€™s request.

Lindell hasbeen one of the foremost proponents of false claims that the 2020 election was rife with fraud and that Trump was the rightful winner. He is being sued by voting machine manufacturer Dominion for defaming the company and its leadership.

Jensen was a self-described follower of QAnon, and wore a "Qâ€ shirt to the Capitol on Jan. 6. In arguing for his release from jail in the nationâ€™s capital, Jensenâ€™s lawyer said his client had been deceived by the "conspiracy theoriesâ€ and now "that he bought into a pack of lies.â€

The government says this violation of the conditions of his release proves that was a lie: "Jensenâ€™s swift violation confirms what the Government and this Court suspected all along: that Jensenâ€™s alleged disavowal of QAnon was just an act; that his alleged epiphany inside the D.C. Jail was merely self-advocacy; and that, at the end of the day, Jensen will not abandon the misguided theories and beliefs that led him to menacingly chase U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman up the Senate staircase on January 6, 2021,â€ read the governmentâ€™s motion to revoke his release.

So he had to say he did not believe there was any vote fraud to get out - then couldn't watch anything that did not toe the party line.

And he realized he loved Big Brother!

What has happened to America?

1 Good pea-pickin' grief, as my brother-in-law would say. We love Lindell, have his pillows and mattress topper, and I'm wearing a pair of MySlippers as I write this.

2 It is astonishing, isn't it Dana! We now have an untouchable class here and if you dare not follow the ban you will be punished.

3 It's time for We The People to rise up and fight this. Refuse to submit to Cancel Culture -- as some have done.

4 It's well past time. We've got to put the fear of the Lord into these people.
