I wait for you, a girl turned young woman that I have not seen in ten years despite what you claim in the story. It was not possible until this moment, thanks to a certain agent. However, you seem to believe their words without hearing the facts. Do I need to tell you of all people not to trust the FBI?
Without you speaking the lies, I can repeat the accusations you are hearing verbatim. They've been trotting out the same slander against me for years. Calling me a terrorist.
A question for you: If it's all true, why haven't I been arrested?
How can they let a suspected terrorist go free?
But, enough dancing with half-truths. Am I a terrorist?
Ella, I want you to hear it from me before you find out the truth.
Everything they say is true except the facts. I am a terrorist in the truest sense they charge. I stand for peace in a country that feeds off violence of every kind. My way of life, the beliefs I hold are an anathema to being American.
Jesus was killed for preaching peace and the FBI can accuse me of no more than that.
I've never advocated for or committed an act of violence.
I espouse the peaceful and collective overthrow, by the people, of the current US Government. Not a bullet will be needed. Only votes and peaceful protest.
I repeat - I stand for the peaceful overthrow of the Government BY THE PEOPLE.
For this they brand me terrorist.
So be it.
I am guilty.
I will die for peace when it comes time.
Yours always,
Ryan Holden
