(LifeSiteNews) — An FBI whistleblower who had his security clearance revoked and pay suspended for questioning the official Jan. 6 narrative is now urging Americans to pray the rosary and practice the First Friday devotion, as well as to vote and arm themselves.
Marcus Allen, an FBI staff operations specialist whose security clearance has been restored as part of a settlement with the bureau earlier this year, told the Judiciary Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government on Wednesday how he was severely retaliated against for sharing information with his superiors and others that, as he previously noted, “questioned the official narrative of Jan. 6.”
“The FBI questioned my allegiance to the United States, suspended my security clearance, suspended my pay and refused to allow me to obtain outside employment or even accept charity,” testified Allen, a devout Catholic. He was then forced to take early withdrawals from a retirement account to pay his mortgage.
Allen told how this was punishment for sharing what he believed was not “forthright” testimony by FBI Director Christopher Wray about the Bureau’s use of confidential human sources at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Allen had cited reporting by mainstream media outlets for his criticism of Wray, including RealClearPolitics.
In further support of Allen’s claim, ex-FBI Washington Field Office Assistant Director in Charge Steven D’Antuono testified last year to the full House Judiciary Committee that the FBI had even lost count of the number of confidential informants on the Capitol grounds that day.
The Catholic veteran said the FBI tried to “destroy him financially” so that he “would give up.”
“There are no words strong enough to describe the impact the FBI’s lies about me have had on me and my family,” an emotional Allen said Wednesday. “The stress has taken a toll on our health and our children have suffered, traumatized by the thought of our door getting kicked in or Dad not coming home.”
“Despite the stress and uncertainty, I’ve never once regretted standing up for truth,” the Marine Corps veteran continued. “Indeed, my family and I persevered due to our strength in faith, God’s grace and the sacraments.”
“If you do not worship God, you will worship something else. You can either serve God or you can serve Mammon, but you can’t serve both. This has been a purification when we lost material items we gained more important things. We’ve stored up for ourselves Treasures in Heaven,” Allen said.
“What we have gained spiritually has far outweighed what was lost materially,” said Allen, getting choked up.
He went on to cite James Madison, who “notes the duty to honor God (takes) precedent both in order of time and degree of obligation to the claims of Civil Society. Before any man can be considered as a member of Civil Society, he must be considered as a subject of the governor of the Universe.”
Later, asked to comment further, Allen added, “It is my opinion that the Bureau used fear and reprisal to control the workforce.”
He further advised the people of the U.S., “As an American citizen, you have the duty to vote, and I strongly urge you to do so … stake your claim, and don’t forfeit it willingly.”
“My other recommendations are in the natural order,” he continued. “Arm yourself and know how to defend yourself. Make three to four friends in your neighborhood and promise to come to each other’s mutual aid in times of hardship.”
“During the Great Depression, people stocked up a pantry, so I think that’s a good practice, especially in our economic times, and make sure you have three to four months of food.”
He then advised Americans to “pray the rosary” and “go to the First Friday devotions,” by which Catholics honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
“That’s for everybody, all my brothers and sisters of all faiths,” he added. “And read the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and live it every day.”
