A shadow falls over those who stood on January 6th, 2021, extending far beyond legal battles and imprisonment. The repercussions now reach into the realm of rebuilding lives, threatening the very foundations of new beginnings for individuals striving to move forward.
Finding employment proves nearly impossible for many, branded by a stigma that clings to any online search. Faced with closed doors, some have turned to entrepreneurship, seeking a path to self-sufficiency and a chance to contribute again. But a new obstacle has emerged – a quiet, yet powerful resistance from large corporations.
Enrique Tarrio, determined to resurrect his WarBoys Studios, and others like Barry Ramey, are attempting to forge ahead, transforming personal hardship into a drive to rebuild. They aren’t seeking pity, but a fair chance to participate in the American dream, to recover from the financial devastation they’ve endured.
Instead, they are met with a chilling pattern of obstruction. Financial cancellations, a barrage of threatening emails targeting individuals and their ventures, and outright blacklisting are becoming commonplace. Barry Ramey’s WeTheJ6ers.com website has been relentlessly targeted, facing constant digital attacks.
The popular email service MailChimp abruptly suspended 1776 Shop’s account – before a single message could even be sent. Less than 24 hours after initial signup, the account was closed, with no opportunity for appeal or explanation. It was a swift, decisive silencing.
Even Facebook, despite public statements from CEO Mark Zuckerberg promising to curtail such practices, has completely blocked any mention of 1776.shop on its platform. The website is effectively erased from the social media landscape, denied even the possibility of visibility.
This isn’t simply about business; it’s about a systematic effort to marginalize and silence individuals. It’s a story of resilience met with an unseen force, a struggle to rebuild in the face of ongoing, and increasingly sophisticated, opposition.
