Dr Hovind is in good company, all of the disciples and Jesus himself were arrested and jailed for false accusations in attempts to silence the truth. The disciples rejoiced at being counted worthy to suffer for the gospels, may Dr Hovind do the same and I praise god for his release and redemption by a just judge.

Um no, Hovind is a tax dodging crook. And Jesus was executed for leading a group the Romans saw as being enemies of the state, which was true basically. Jesus was meant to be killed according to the Bible.
Neither was falsely accused much, but don't compare Jesus to that ass Hovind. He was actuqlly pretty cool.
"Dr." Hovind's degree is in Christian education, and he got it from a diploma mill. His doctoral thesis is online. It is a sorry joke.
I'm going to ignore the fact that you unironically used the word "Doctor" to describe Kent Hovind. Instead I'm going to focus on your insistence that his incarceration is part of a larger conspiracy.
It is a well known fact that for years, Kent Hovind advocated tax protesting and associated with tax protesters. He openly refused to have his Dinosaur Adventure Land theme park (yes, fellow FSTDTers, you read that right, and no I don't owe you a new monitor) comply with local zoning regulations, citing his deeply held beliefs (the judge in that case noted that Jesus said to do as Caesar demands, and Caesar wants a zoning permit). He discussed his practice of not paying taxes with Rebecca Horton of Pensacola Christian College without realizing that she had a strong stance against that kind of thing. He structured his payments to employees just under ten thousand dollars; all bank tellers are required to report when frequent withdrawals are made just under that amount. He claimed that his ministry was not a business with employees, even though internal documents discussed timeliness, vacation, and other definitive aspects of employment. He refused to present a defense in court (something similar happens in Atlas Shrugged, except here it didn't end so well) . He discussed hiding funds over a prison telephone which was, surprise surprise, being monitored.
Even if every single thing you just said, Oundinna, is true, there is still nobody to blame for Kent Hovind's predicament more than Kent Hovind.
"Hovind is in good company"
The company of idiots. Like how he calls himself "Dr. Dino" when he doesn't have a doctorate from an accredited university, and his experience in paleontology consists of building "Dinosaur Adventure Land" in his back yard.
What gave me a hint of just how idiotic he is was when he was describing the BBT as a "spinning dot" saying that "everything should be spinning in the same direction", while referring to a slide he had plagiarized from a legitimate publication that said "SOLAR NEBULA FORMATION" (he didn't even bother to edit that part out).
You're a fucktard, aren't you Kent?
Dr Hovind is in good company,
Except for the "Dr." part, I agree; in the slams, with other crooks
'Dr Hovind is in good company' - Oundinna.
'I tell ya, the best folk in the world are prison folk!' - Krusty the Clown.
"attempts to silence the truth"
That's "truth" as defined by people like Oundinna and "Dr" Hovind: "Anything that helps spread the Word of *our* God, win people for Him."
So, Hovind represents the alluring charm of Christianity. But, oh no, in no way does he represent the criminal element, the constant lying, the used-car salesman-approach or the appeal to phsychopathy. And he thought being a Christian elevated him above the law and would keep him out of jail. Bible God wanted him incarcerated.
