J6 Political Prisoner Dominic Pezzola Discovers He Has Cancer While Serving Time in Prison – Please Help This Young Father, Veteran and Patriot Below
Earlier this week Barb Turpin wrote The Gateway Pundit to share the very sad news that her son Dominic Pezzola was recently diagnosed with cancer while serving time in prison.
Barb blames the medical neglect Dominic endured since being held in prison.
Barb wrote this:
I’m hoping you will post an update on Gateway Pundit about my son now having Cancer because of the medical neglect in All of the facilities he’s been in. Dominic was on Doctors care before January 6th and was diagnosed with Barrettes Esophagus which is an erosion of the esophagus. He was put on very strong medication to prevent it from becoming cancer and he needs to get an upper GI test every 1-2 years.
Dominic was denied his medication each time he was moved and had to fight to get it. He suffered many times since his incarceration because he didn’t get his medication. He was promised several times he was going to get the upper GI test but to this day hasn’t. Dominic wants to get the word out ASAP about this because he’s not the only one going thru the medical neglect as we all know. My son being diagnosed with Cancer could have been prevented. We don’t know yet if it is Esophagus Cancer, what stage or what will be the recommended treatment as of now. They said he won’t be sent to the hospital to find out those answers for at least four weeks.
Jim, I’m devastated, heartbroken and extremely worried for my son. After all it’s the Bureau of Prisons system that is responsible for this neglect and diagnosis. How can we have faith that they will do what’s right and HOW will he get the care he needs. If you want to speak with me about this I’m always available.
Thank you and God Bless
Barb Turpin

Dominic also sent this epic statement from prison.
Jenn Baker wrote more about Dominic’s situation at Condemned USA Substack.
Unfortunately, because the BOP limits the inmates to 500 minutes of phone calls per month, Dominic, with only ten minutes left for the month, will be sitting alone with this diagnosis for the next six days until his minutes refill. This has been a very trying time for the Pezzola family. They welcome all the support and the love given to them from the American people and thank you for sticking by them.
FCI Butner has been in the spotlight as just one of the many prisons that have become dilapidated and should be shut down. The amount of black mold, asbestos, and decay these prison buildings have are beyond inhabitable. The kitchen at FCI Butner has fallen in on itself. The conditions of the kitchen make it impossible for the prison to be sure they are providing food that is safe and in line with Food Safety Practices.
This is only one instance of what is happening with the walls of this particular prison, and the treatment of Dominic Pezzola is just the tip of the iceberg.
There’s an online petition to address questions of the condition of the prison to the NC Health Department. If you are interested in helping with this, go to:
Please do not make specific calls to the prison regarding Dominic.

Why you shouldn’t throw out those DVDs and Blu-Rays
You might think physical media is obsolete. It’s possible to watch basically anything on streaming sites at this point. Best Buy is ending DVD and Blu-ray sales and so is Target. Many people no longer have Blu-ray or DVD players plugged into their TVs, assuming they even watch things on a TV at all. It’s understandable, given all this, that you might be eyeing your shelf full of physical media and wonder whether it’s time to throw it all out.
That’s a mistake. There are all kinds of reasons you should keep your physical copies of TV shows and movies around.
Content disappears from streaming services
A few years ago Warner Bros. started removing its own shows from Max, called HBO Max at the time. Among these shows was Westworld, a prestige HBO series that subscribers understandably thought would stick around on the service. Until that point no major streaming service had removed its own content—Netflix, for example, removed plenty of shows made by other companies but never one of its own originals. Warner Bros. broke this unspoken compact with Westworld. Today the only place to watch the sci-fi drama online is on TubiTV, but you can’t watch episodes whenever you want—it’s basically an online TV station that plays all the episodes in order. Warner Bros. isn’t alone here: Disney pulled several of its own shows from Disney+ last year, including a brand new TV show based on the movie Willow.
Which is all to say that you can’t count on streaming services to offer all the shows you love in perpetuity. You know what you can count on? A physical disc. A TV show or movie you have on Blu-ray or DVD will keep working for you until the disc physically breaks down, and even longer if you back them up. If you want to make sure you can keep watching a TV show or movie you need to buy a physical copy.
No internet? No problem.
Streaming services, for the most part, only work if you have an internet connection. Physical media keeps working, as highlighted by a piece in The Guardian about a Florida power outage in 2018 that made one family’s DVD and Blu-ray collection extremely valuable:
Word got around. The family’s library of physical films and books became a kind of currency. Neighbors offered bottled water or jars of peanut butter for access. The 1989 Tom Hanks comedy The ’Burbs was an inexplicably valuable commodity, as were movies that could captivate restless and anxious children.
The internet goes down sometimes, for all kinds of reasons—natural disasters, yes, but also good old fashioned outages. Having some physical media around means you’ll still have something to watch.
It might be cheaper
Some people like to binge watch the same show, again and again. Peacock, for example, owes at least some of its existence to dedicated fans of The Office, who from what I can tell, just kind of always have the show on in the background. That might be worth it to you, but here’s the thing, though: I found the complete run of the series on Amazon on DVD for $50, a total that could pay for just over four months of an ad-free Peacock subscription. You could probably get the series for even less if you’re willing to look for a used copy, meaning there’s no excuse to pay for Peacock just for one show. Buy the discs and you can binge watch as many times as you want, all without any ongoing subscription fees.
You can lend them out
I love ebooks but tend to buy a physical copy of anything I truly love. Part of this is that I like seeing the books on my shelf, granted, but another big part of the appeal is that I can lend physical books out to friends. Physical copies of movies and TV shows work the same way: You can lend them to whoever you like, even as streaming services are going out of their way to stop you from sharing passwords.
Of course, it’s not just on you to lend out discs: your local library probably does too, giving you access to all kinds of shows for free. In some places this is going even further: Little DVD libraries are popping up as a way to share discs with your neighbors. If you can physically hold something there’s no restrictions on lending it out, and that’s a real kind of freedom that streaming services can’t—or, at least won’t—give you.
Special features
One last thing. DVDs and Blu-rays come with all kinds of special features, from behind-the-scenes footage to deleted scenes. Streaming services don’t offer these features—the best you can do is search for them on YouTube when you’re done watching. This only matters if you care about such things, granted, but it’s a big reason you’ll never get me to part with my special edition set of Lord of the Rings.
