"'We stormed the capitol, it's insane.'So proclaimed John Strand in a text after entering the halls of Congresslast Jan. 6."

-Rolling Stone

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 aninsurrectionist.

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 Pleawas 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 asThe 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.
