After January 6, many false narratives had been disseminated to the general public within the type of atrocity propaganda. One of the crucial pernicious was that a whole bunch of Capitol Police and Metro Police had been significantly injured on the Capitol, and worse, cops died on January 6.
The truth is, lots of the accidents sustained by police on January 6 had been self-inflicted, and no cops died on January 6. This actuality didn’t cease the propagation of the lie that Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered on January 6. Initially, it was claimed that Sicknick was crushed over the top with a fireplace extinguisher. This lie was then revised to him passing away from publicity to chemical irritants sprayed by rioters.
In March of 2021, two males, Julian Khater and George Tanios, would grow to be codefendants after being framed for the alleged homicide of Officer Sicknick. I met Julian Khater in April of 2021 after he’d arrived within the DC Gulag’s “patriot pod” C2B. Julian received completely railroaded after January 6. He didn’t kill Officer Brian Sicknick, and but that’s the narrative the federal government and media ran with with out any proof.
Authorities finally admitted that Sicknick died of pure causes. He was by no means killed by a fireplace extinguisher, nor as a result of Khater and Tanios sprayed him with mace. Khater’s codefendant, George Tanios, was ordered launched from pretrial detention in August of 2021 following the Munchel resolution.

Bizarrely, the Munchel resolution was not utilized to Julian. The truth is, most January 6 defendants within the DC jail ought to’ve been launched on bond, together with Julian, by the requirements of the DC Circuit. He had no previous felony convictions, no extremist ties, and no post-January 6 prison conduct.
Julian Khater received completely railroaded after January 6. He didn’t kill Officer Brian Sicknick and but that’s the narrative the federal government and media ran with with none proof. If he had gone to trial he’d have had a biased jury like all defendants, however far worse. I do know that… pic.twitter.com/SdTKNrsdTq

(Julian Khater, myself, Jeff McKellop, Pete Schwartz, and Jorden Mink joke round with a jail laptop computer in 2022)
Whereas most of us within the DC Gulag goofed round throughout what little time we needed to socialize, Julian was, in truth, a saint in comparison with myself and others. The Julian I knew within the DC jail was some of the docile, non secular males to have been there. Being a Lebanese-American, Julian is a religious Maronite Catholic. After Shane Jenkins ended his ministry actions in C2B’s Second Bible Research, Julian took over Shane’s duties with no fuss.
When many inmates grew uncomfortable with provocateurs infiltrating examine periods to advertise the assassination of politicians, the Second Bible Research was abolished. At occasions, it felt that nothing was sacred and that even inside a spiritual physique meant to honor God, we political prisoners needed to be suspicious of speech meant to entrap us. We shaped a 3rd group, uncreatively named the “Third Bible Research,” headed on my own alongside Julian, Shane, and Pete Schwartz. Two Catholics and two Protestants. It was right here that Julian actually shined as he was capable of focus on scripture amongst friends in good religion. After I purchased a dozen theology books for C2B he was one of many few truly considering studying them. To this present day, he continues to immerse himself in theology whereas losing away in jail. Lately, his household handed on a ebook to me which Julian completed studying in regards to the lifetime of Saint Charbel. Julian was quiet but in addition a considerate, studious man, and constant past examine.
Whereas the courts dropped assault fees towards George Tanios, who pled to a misdemeanor cost and was sentenced to time served, Julian Khater was pressured to plead responsible to a felony and sentenced to over 6 years in jail. Julian spent 2 years within the DC jail, a lot of it in solitary confinement earlier than lastly being transferred to federal jail. His case is a tragedy amongst tragedies. If he had gone to trial, he’d have had a biased jury like all defendants, however far worse. Deliberate disinformation was used to prejudice any potential DC jury greater than they already could be concerning January 6. I do know firsthand how that works following my swift jury conviction for nonviolent fees. Sadly, when Julian took a plea deal, they railroaded him even tougher. Spraying a cop isn’t good, however the feds and the court docket cared extra about saving a story a few cop’s demise than in regards to the responsibility to avoid wasting a younger man’s life.
I’m nonetheless amazed that Julian Khater may very well be sentenced to almost 7 years for headlines. Like many people caught up in January 6, he was smeared by the feds and media. Nevertheless, not like the remainder of us, he was framed because the assassin of Officer Sicknick. I’ve been slandered as an extremist, however Julian will likely be known as a cop-killer by unhinged leftists for the remainder of his life, even when Trump pardons him. In September of this yr, Kamala Harris lied throughout her debate with President Trump, claiming officers died on January 6, demonstrating how the lies surrounding January 6 proceed to echo via historical past years after the very fact.
Upon leaving jail myself, I made it my purpose to exonerate as lots of the males from the DC Gulag I left behind as humanly potential. Whereas some video of Julian Khater on January 6 was circulated in media hit-pieces, few journalists truly tried to contextualize Julian macing the cops on the West Terrace. Lazy journalism at greatest, weaponized propaganda at worst. No person cared. One of many main headlines for January 6 defendants, alongside the Oath Keeper and Proud Boy circumstances, and no person cared to report the reality?
I synced video and audio from launched BWC (body-worn cameras) with launched CCTV (closed circuit tv) and zoomed into the spot the place Julian and George had been. I additionally checked the federal government’s personal transcripts from the start once they alleged his dangerousness. Guess what?
It nonetheless amazes me that Julian Khater may very well be sentenced to 7 years. Like many people caught up in January 6, he was smeared by the feds and media, however not like the remainder of us he was framed because the assassin of Officer Sicknick, which wasn’t true.

Julian Khater solely sprayed at cops after police had already begun hosing down total sections of peaceable protestors. Khater was, in truth, sprayed greater than as soon as, regardless of harming nobody, earlier than retaliating with a pocket-sized mace dispenser. And even by the federal government’s personal transcripts from January 6, Julian mentioned “They simply f***ing sprayed ME!” Julian received 80 months – six and a half years – for spraying mace at cops who sprayed him first with out justification. Over 6 years, for 3 seconds of mace. Completely insane. That is compounded by the truth that this proof was not offered to Julian as he languished behind bars, a due course of violation meant to drive him into taking a plea deal.
And worse, Julian is being sued by the ex-girlfriend of Officer Sicknick… in some way. On prime of getting an insane sentence for utilizing a weak mace and after being slandered for years as a cop-killer, Julian’s presently dealing with a frivolous lawsuit over the demise of a cop he didn’t kill. A wrongful demise declare for Sicknick was already dismissed towards President Trump earlier this yr. But Julian Khater continues to be pressured to bear the burden of a civil go well with pending towards him whereas he continues to serve a jail sentence for a criminal offense he didn’t commit.
Julian Khater’s household have expended a burdensome quantity of wealth to struggle Julian’s prison fees and pending civil go well with. I ask that anybody keen to point out help to my fellow political hostage accomplish that HERE:
It is a gross miscarriage of justice. Please donate to assist Julian in his present federal and future baseless civil battle to clear his identify and struggle again towards the machine and the swamp. Thanks on your help and for standing up for American beliefs and justice.
President Trump has promised to make harmless January 6 defendants complete once more, and for that I’m hopeful. Many January 6 defendants have been framed and smeared, however not all to the identical diploma. I’m a crude satirist who was framed as a Nazi, certain.
However Julian was a straight-laced non-public citizen who was framed as a cop killer. That’s a type of smearing I don’t assume some other defendant comes near. I’ll by no means abandon my brother Julian, nor ought to America.
