'What is real?' Jan. 6 defendant acts as own attorney in 'stream of consciousness' court documents

A California yoga instructor who allegedly conspired with extremists to disrupt government operations on Jan. 6, 2021, has defended himself in a highly unusual court filing.

In a document submitted to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Alan Hostetter chose to represent himself instead of obtaining an attorney.

Hostetter argues he was wrongly charged over the Jan. 6 attacks.

"President Trump won the 2020 election in one of the biggest landslide victories in U.S. history," the document begins. "Our constitutional republic was overthrown. An imposter president was installed. This was an actual act of treason rather than a false flag fedsurrection, as was J6. (FACT)."

In the document, Hostetter accuses the federal government of "entrapment" because "there is no (legitimate) explanation other than federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies staged this obvious false flag event for nefarious purposes."

Hostetter asserts Jan. 6 could not be considered a riot because he was present for the 1992 riots over Rodney King's beating while serving as a police officer.

"What is real? What is fake?" he asks. "Very early in my career I was sent to the urban war zone of the Rodney King Riots in L.A. – an actual and very real riot, unlike fedsurrection."

The document recalls Hostetter's time as an undercover officer to burnish his expertise.

"My hair was down to my shoulders," he says. "I had grown a Fu Manchu mustache and wore an earring. When about to serve a search warrant or take down a suspect in a sting operation, I would don a raid jacket and hang my badge around my neck."

At one point in the filing, Hostetter offers the court a "stream of consciousness" about his recollections of the 1992 riots.

"Electricity Blackouts, fires still occasionally burning, high rise buildings... red/orange on gray/black... eerie luminescence... thoughts of Dresden," he writes. "Sleeping in nearby hotel... eager to rise and get back in the fight with my brothers in arms. Sheepdogs by nature, we are. Some things never change."

Hostetter then launches into conspiracy theories about Ashli Babbitt's death and 9/11.

"If I am able to bring just one person to a new level of awareness where they can accept this reality... only then can that one person begin to understand and accept that the Ashli Babbitt shooting was fake and staged. Maybe that one person will then tell ten or twenty more, and so on," he adds. "When realizing the former is truth regarding 9/11, one also then realizes the latter showing the few minutes it took to stage 'Ashli's' shooting at the Capitol was child's play to those who organized it. The CIA and FBI stage these sorts of false flags at home and abroad regularly and have been doing it for generations."

He insists Babbitt's killing "was staged and fake."

"I appreciate the court and the public's continued patience and attention to the words written in this filing and the others I have written thus far. Dawn is breaking," he concludes.

In previous filings, Hostetter has ranted about the JFK assassination and Tucker Carlson's firing.
