AFTER 14 MONTHS IN PRISON, ED WACKERMAN FINALLY GETS WHAT WAS HIS RIGHT TO HAVE ALL ALONG - HIS SPECIAL INLAY AND BRACE FOR A SEVERELY DAMAGED FOOT
Ed Wackerman, retired disabled senior, for 12 years a firefighter, has been charged with setting what was, according to all the evidence, an unnatural fire - meaning, started through advanced technology. Upon his arrest on June 16, 2023 - more than 14 months ago - his special inlay and brace were taken from him - an inlay and brace needed for his badly damaged foot. Also his pain medication was denied to him, medication that had kept him pain-free for 18 years. Since then, whenever Ed has stood up, he had to steel himself for at least a minute before he could endure the pain and move.
And then, on August 26:
Elsa, I finally got my shoes and brace just now. Wow, what a difference. It will take a while to get back what I just lost in the past year but I'm going to work hard on it. Thank you all for support.
I've been bedridden for a year now in pain. I'm now able to get some exercise. There will be more pain but I must get back what I lost. It won't be easy, none of this is. No pain medication.
I walk some each day now. I will work hard to get back where I was. Lots of pain but I am strong and a fighter. I will do this. I have great support. Thank you all.
It has taken hundreds of steps. And most likely it will take many more until Ed has both his pain medication - still denied to him - and his freedom.
Taking steps. I did not know of Ed’s existence until January, 6 months after his arrest, when someone mentioned that it would be good for me to write about his case. I did not get in touch until mid-March, when someone mentioned his case a second time and suggested I get involved.
Since then, way too many steps to detail. They include getting Ed to write to me, sharing his story, and then my sharing his writings. (At the end are links to posts on Ed.)
In case this is the first time you hear of him, here’s the case in a nutshell. In July 2022, there was an unnatural fire - meaning started through advanced technology - the Oak Fire, near Mariposa, California. In June 2023, Ed was arrested and charged with setting it - at least 6 police officers with guns pointing at Ed, a retired disabled senior. Since then he has been in prison, without bail, and without his urgently needed inlay, brace, and pain medication.
What has changed? Ed has been given hope through the contact with me and the people who have written to him. People also include him in their prayers and send energy. Plus I have kept learning more, like the name of the caring doctor who was treating him for 18 years before the arrest. I called and talked with Dr Huish, and also left 2 text messages, letting him know of Ed’s treatment which I consider at least deliberately abusive. I asked the doctor to do what he could. That was several weeks ago.
On August 13, a caring person who had learned about Ed, reached out to someone who does a lot with energy. The energy worker did what he could for Ed and those around Ed.
On August 14,
They took me to see Dr.Huish early this morning. It's been crazy in here. He didn't know. It was a court order and there was no paperwork, nothing for him. He asked why.
14 Aug, 2024 07:02:16
And on August 26th, Ed’s inlay and brace were returned to him.
Still no pain medication. And no freedom.
But Ed is massively ahead of where he was in mid-March.

Next time, a bit more about Ed - a boy with massive spunk who spent much of his high school time in detention. I believe that spunk is standing Ed in good stead, so he has not given up.

FOR WRITING TO ED
First, a big thank you to those of you who have written to Ed.
And then, detailed instructions on what you can and cannot do.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
For example, Ed has just been informed that letters have been destroyed where the writer wrote on the back of a page. This is not in accord with the instructions given. The instructions are that, if one writes on the back, whatever is on the back is not scanned. Only one side is scanned. However, in this case, nothing was sent to Ed.
Then, someone sent 2 books and had them returned. It took me half an hour to get the instructions about books. I was told the instructions are on the site. I kept the operator on the phone, to make sure that, with her help, I could find them. It turned out that the instructions are not on the site. However, she had them:
One. Books are to be mailed to the actual detention center (address below).
Two. They must be new soft cover books, mailed either from Amazon or a publisher. Nothing else gets to a prisoner.

THE STORY, IN BRIEF. Ed Wackerman, an innocent man. He’s been in jail for almost a year, since June 2023. No bail. Not even a preliminary until July 2024. You might wonder: He must have done something. In fact, it appears his “crime” was being a “nobody” - living alone in his cabin with his little dog, no family close by, widower, hard of hearing. He’s been charged with setting a major California fire - the Oak Fire of 2022. But he could not have set it. No one could have set it. There’s massive evidence - hidden by the mainstream media - that it was an unnatural fire. But Ed could not even have set a regular fire. He’s seriously disabled - very slow-moving because of major injuries - and he’s accused of setting a fire he could never have outrun. Only an Olympic sprinter could have outrun it.
I got involved because a friend asked me to (January 2024) and when I did nothing, asked me again (the beginning of March 2024). So I got in touch with Ed, wrote a letter to his lawyer, and more - like I’ve written about half a dozen posts on him, posting the letters he’s written to me.

A small mercy for Ed. Respect for Elsa getting his case into the light of decent people.
Thank you for this somewhat uplifting Substack. So Elsa, does this mean, then that Ed, never receives the actual cards or letters, only scans of them? I am both confused and heartbroken. I have sent him a few stencillled coloured pictures with verses on the front with my written notes to him on the back. I thought they were scanning both the front and the back (for their records?) and giving him the original to read?
