I am sure -JC will be publishing the latest Steele essay from jail so I will not post it. Otherwise he will duplicate the post.
Steele claims that his social security checks have been stopped that were going to his wife. He was born 5 July, 1945. If I know him, he started receiving benefits the day he turned 62 in 2007. He likely wanted to get all that he could back before the government collapsed. This was likely $1,000 or month or so. It is not clear if the checks are stopped at the time that he was arrested or at the time of conviction see
