Oregon Prison Report: Voices from the Inside

"...the officers walk around without their masks on then pat us down and search our rooms and touch everything and don’t wear gloves, so I stay in my room 'cause with weak lungs getting Covid can kill me, and I am not here for life."

Thank you for sending me letters, I am at Snake River, Ontario, Ore. I have been here for 9 months and have been locked up for 17 months.
The staff here don’t wear their masks all the time and a lot of people have gotten sick with Covid, we have been on lockdown for months.
Since the lockdown I don’t come out much 'cause I have asthma, I use an inhaler, I have Alvesco 80 MCG. Also borderline diabetic, I have gained 120 lbs in 17 months.
I will say Snake River does have a good medical system but the officers walk around without their masks on then pat us down and search our rooms and touch everything and don’t wear gloves...
... so I stay in my room 'cause with weak lungs getting Covid can kill me, and I am not here for life.
I got 7 years 9 months, 84 months for stealing things as a first time offender, I never had a record before 2019. I was scared and pled guilty to 42 felonies, afraid I would get 30 years, the only deal the DA would give me was 333 months.
Just last week I wrote Kate Brown telling her that I am here for property crimes and that I didn’t get a death sentence over stealing things that in the end the people got back. I’m not violent, I never hurt anyone, and I owe $136,000 in restitution.
I asked for her to suspend my sentence and to put me on an ankle monitor and to give me one chance to prove I can do right. I used meth and stole a lot of things I should have gotten one chance to go to rehab.
Thats my story, I would love info on everything you got. You can share on your outreach.

Tomorrow, January 6th, MAGA chuds, Proud Boys, and white supremacists are planned to descend on Washington D.C. to contest the election. Among them will be NSC-131, a New England based neo-Nazi organization. Let's welcome them by saying hi to one of their members, Eddie Stuart!


Edward Stuart, from Chester, New Hampshire, has been a member of Nationalist Social Club (NSC) since the very beginning and is a staple participant in their actions. He is known in NSC chats as "Carl Jung" and is well connected in the New England Nazi scene.

NSC-131 is a neo-Nazi group that was started in Massachusetts in early 2020 by Chris Hood. You can learn more about NSC and it's members in these threads:


Eddie describes his ideology as "Esoteric Hitlerism" which is an occult form of Nazism that literally worships Adolf Hitler as a god, or, specifically, as an incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu. Here is Ed holding the RigVeda with some of his occult Nazi pals. Interesting Ed!

Much of this ideological insight was gained from Eddie's Twitter, where he originally used his "Carl Jung" persona and reposts explicit neo-fascist content and racist memes. In one edited picture, Eddie can be seen at an NSC event in late June 2020 holding a Nazi Sonnenrad flag

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.
