Larry Johnson: Here Is What I See as The Strengths and Weaknesses of Mike Lindell’s Movie “Absolute Proof”
Gateway Pundit ^ | 02/08/2021 | Larry Johnson

Posted on 02/08/2021 2:44:33 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Disclaimer: We hear your feedback and noticed the comments below. We want to be clear, this is not an attack on Mike Lindell. We 100% support Mike’s efforts to expose the historic electoral fraud from the 2020 election. We also believe his efforts are courageous. Mike put it all on the line. This was intended as a handy guide to the substance that was delivered in “Absolute Proof.” You can decide for yourself.

Let me state up front that I admire and like Mike Lindell. He is a good, decent man with an honest heart. But those qualities do not excuse the sloppiness and lack of focus in his latest effort to present “evidence” about the electronic theft of the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump. Mr. Lindell made a good start but failed to have a tight script, which produces a meandering video account that lands an occasional punch.

Notwithstanding the media and establishment mantra that there is no evidence of fraud and that anyone who insists to the contrary is either mentally ill or a conspiracy theorist keen on wearing a tinfoil helmet, the facts show otherwise. Unfortunately, the full scope of this evidence has not been publicly presented and methodically briefed. I want to be perfectly clear–the election was filled with fraud and outside interference. Donald Trump and the Americans who voted for him are victims of a massive crime. This includes the use of counterfeit “mail-in” ballots that were never processed through the USPS and the use of voting machines that were connected to the internet and communicating with entities outside the United States.

I was hoping that Mike Lindell’s video, Absolute Proof, would be a significant step in marshaling the evidence. But my hopes go unrealized. Mike Lindell does little in this video to move the matter forward in the compelling way required to seize the attention of America. I am not attacking Mike. His good intentions simply did not get put into action with content that would justify the title of the video.

Here is what I see as the strength and weaknesses of Absolute Proof. During the first 12 minutes of the two hour video (1:59:58 to be precise) Mike Lindell speaks extemporaneously and passionately about the fraud and promises that you, the viewer, will see”Absolute Proof.” While he is truly speaking from the heart, his presentation is disjointed and rambling. He needed to hire writers and a director to put together the blockbuster presentation that he promised. He is largely preaching to the choir.

12:40 to 23:53 COLONEL PHIL WALDRON, Working with Allied Security Operations Group in Dallas.
The good Colonel talks in generalities without presenting documentary evidence. For example, he states that Dominion is controlled by the Chinese via a Private Equity Firm that owns Dominion and that Dominion’s Testing Company for Dominion is a Chinese Company (run by CCP). Ok. Show the viewer the actual documents that buttress these claims. He also mentions foreign servers in Barcelona, Uk and Frankfurt (e.g., “We mapped out servers (SCYTL) in Frankfurt—DENIX.”) and spikes in volume of traffic between those servers and the United States. Well and good. But what did that activity consist of and what is the proof of the substance/content of the activity? That question is left hanging.

23:54 to 49:19 RUSSELL RAMSLAND—Ramsland’s favorite word is, “horrifying.” He repeats that word throughout the interview with Lindell but never puts meat on the bone. He starts off discussing activity he saw in 2018 of ES&S machines manipulating data/votes in Texas and his subsequent and fruitless struggle to get the Feds (i.e., Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice) to look at the evidence in Texas and do something. The Feds refused to act and shutdown the Texas investigation in September 2020.
DHS Intelligence & Analysis Division.
Ramsland then talks about his company’s forensic work in Antrim County Michigan examining Dominion machines. But once again the discussion is generic and lacking the kind of documentary or visual exhibits that show Ramsland is not just offering up his opinion. He states that 82% of the ballots in Antrim County, Michigan were adjudicated and that 93.6% met the same fate in Fulton County, Georgia. Yet, there is no corroborating document for the viewer to see.

It is essential in telling this kind of story for the filmmaker to show you the actual documents or graphics that confirm what is being said by an expert/witness. For example, Ramsland states that SCYTL owns CLARITY ELECTION NIGHT REPORTING but shows no document or link to any such acquisition. A viewer not steeped in the election controversy might find Ramsland interesting, but not slam dunk persuasive.

49:20 to 1:02:01 DR. SHIVA AYYADURAI—Dr. Shiva is a true genius. Lindell’s 12 minute interview with Shiva focuses on how Dominion machines appear (emphasize APPEAR) to have been used to defeat him in a GOP primary election. He says that he lost the primary because an algorithm was used to provide weighted vote tallies to his opponent. Paper ballot converted to ballot image. Machine counts image. He says that he “proved that state deleted ballot images” and that his votes were multiplied by .666 and his opponent’s votes were multiplied by 1.3. Once again, no documentary evidence to back up Dr. Ayyadurai’s testimony.

1:02:02 to 1:04:48 PATRICK COLBECK (State Senator Michigan) Poll challenger. He testifies, “We saw evidence that voting machines connected to internet.” Colbeck’s testimony is relevant evidence. But, if he went to court as a witness, he would have to explain how he knew it was connected to the internet. Just seeing an ethernet cable plugged into a machine is not final proof. I am not questioning Senator Colbeck’s veracity. Rather, I am trying to help you understand the kind of detailed testimony that is needed to make the case for fraud.

1:04:50 TO 1:08:18 MELISSA CARONE—Melisssa, in my view, was the first person in this video to offer solid evidence. Her evidence comes in the form of sworn testimony regarding what she witnessed over a an extended time period. Hired by Dominion. Her job was to walk along rows of the tabulating machines. Every vote was for Joe Biden over a 20 hour time period. When ballots jammed, they were reinserted along with other ballots that had passed thru the tabulating machine.

Carone’s testimony also highlights the confusion in Lindell’s narrative. Were the Dominion machines flipping votes because they were connected to the internet or was Biden’s tally being run up because ballots with only Biden’s name on it were being put through machines multiple times. If you are doing the latter you do not need to do the former necessarily.

1:08:20 to 1:26:10 MATT DEPERNO—DePerno is the star of the video–deservedly so–because he is laser like in focusing on the evidence. DePerno filed a lawsuit on behalf of Bill Bailey challenging school board election. Showed in one precinct in Antrim County, Michigan that initial machine votes went for Biden but, using a hand count, the votes that were logged for Biden actually were for Trump. In Kearney Township Precinct 1, for example, the machine tabulated 744 votes for Biden and 16 for Trump. In a subsequent hand count, Biden’s vote total was 470 and Trump’s was 743.
In Antrim County, the initial machine tabulation gave 7769 votes to Biden and 4509 to Trump. In a subsequent hand count, Biden’s total was 5959 (1810 fewer votes) and Trump’s was 9759 (an increase of 5250). Initial total machine ballots totaled 12,278. Final hand count totaled 15,718. This is a difference of 3,440 votes.
Deperno subsequently received a Judicial order to capture the forensic images of the Dominion voting machines.
His team’ss forensic examination of the machines revealed a complete failure to properly follow procedures and securely transfer the votes. Moreover, DePerno showed that the Dominion manual explains how to connect the machine to the internet. On Nov 4 and 11:03pm system files and adjudication files were deleted from Dominion system.

DePerno makes it clear that the CEO of Dominion, John Poulos, lied to the Michigan Senate in sworn testimony. Poulos made the following statements:

Another problem identified by DePerno, which is an indicator of fraud, is the astronomically high error rate for ballots requiring “adjudication.” Normally, adjudication percentages are less than 5%. In the case of Dominion the calculated ballots showed a 68% error rate. That is not human error, it is machine error.

1:26:11 to 1:28:04 ERIC COOMER, Director of Product Strategy and Security for Dominion. Mike Lindell gets a big pat on the back for inserting this in the middle of DePerno’s interview. It shows the the senior Dominion executive pitching Chicago Cook County election officials and shows him explaining how his machines can connect to the internet.

1:28:05 to 1:36:18 MATT DEPERNO—DePerno is back on camera with the Dominion manual, which explains in black and white how the workstation is connected with an ethernet cable to the internet. Not his opinion. It is the factual statement of the company that makes and sells the machines.

1:36:19 to 1:49:40 MARY FANNING—This portion of the video should have been dynamite. But instead of properly and concisely presenting the evidence, Mike Lindell and Mary Fanning miss the boat. We see glimpses of a spreadsheet that, we are told, are foreign intrusions into 2995 counties before, during and after November 3, 2020. I believe it. The data we can see does show China as the big culprit. But we only see a fraction of the take and at no time are we informed how this information in Mary Fanning’s hands was collected and stored. I had hoped that Mary would have taken some steps to explain how she and her groups got their hands on this potentially bombshell data.

What I found equally frustrating is Fanning’s lack of curiosity or effort in sorting the data by State and County. This could have been a stunning follow up to the DePerno interview. DePerno’s evidence showing there was a massive movement of improperly counted votes away from Trump going to Biden in Antrim County could have been corroborated by Fanning. Sadly, that opportunity is ignored in this video. Just a passing reference to Antrim.

The evidence of the theft is out there and it is being put together by a group of top notch attorneys. I just hope that people with deep pockets like Mike Lindell do a better job of putting together the videos that tell this story. Telling it loudly and widely is essential to defeating the Deep State.

Here is a video that does it right (https://rumble.com/vdlomr-unveiled-the-2020-election.html):

For me, the video came across as more honest and convincing because it WASN’T “professionally” done. One reason we love Trump is because he isn’t smoooth and slick.

The weakest part of the vid is Mike himself - an awful interviewer, over using the single word “wow” constantly.

However, the evidence shone thru the poor interviewer skills - Mike is an entrepreneur, not an interviewer.

Fanning was the best.

Now, I’d expect a followup - release Fanning’s data, PDF form , for all to see for themselves. And yes, explain further - how was this information gathered (I presume by NSA, sniffing the Leonardi and other satellites, etc).

It is Texas Hold'em. Now, is not the time to reveal all of the cards in the hand.

Who the heck is Larry Johnson and why should I care what he thinks?

Mike apparently gets on his nerves but at least Mike put his money where his mouth is and Mike is willing to take the tremendous amount of criticism and numerous boycotts of his business.

What’s Larry done to expose election fraud?

The only problem I had with the video was Lindell’s talking over the interviewees. (Must have taken lessons from Hannity!) All in all, the presentation should, SHOULD, make federal law enforcement to look at the fraudulent election evidence. That said, Lindell is a treasure!

I have to say, when I heard it was a 3 hour presentation, I was turned off and haven’t watched it. I would like to see the evidence presented in a concise form and don’t want to hear a lecture. Just the facts and evidence.

Wouldn’t matter what was IN the video or how long, people like you won’t believe the evidence because you SUFFER from normalcy bias and a closed mind. The video is filled with EVIDENCE ... but evidence is beyond your comprehension level. Enjoy the death of Freedom, you’ve help to earn it for America.

Bingo... and this is when it starts to smell a lot like the entire Scytl and ‘Italy Did It’ thing (and that looked like a bunch of disinformation planted by Dem-Rats to make Trump supporters chase after it and look foolish.) The problem that I had with all the animations in the last 15 minutes of these supposed communications and vote changing going on from overseas is that this all looked to be just too convenient. It’s one thing for somebody to randomly hack in from overseas (or from just down the street) but it’s a totally different thing so that all these battleground states end up ‘going to Bye-Done by a razor’s edge’. That sort of end result could only come from a single organizing point.

That fraud went on and that the Dem-Rats successfully executed a coup is not in question... they did. But I suspect that they did with the tried and true methods they’ve been using for years along with the new wrinkle of ‘mail in ballots’ on steroid as seized as a side benefit (and objective) of perpetuating and prolonging WuFlu. Oh and the other thing they did was a massive amount of ballot ‘adjudication’ where good ballots cast for PDJT were turned into ones for Bye-Done.

That’s a hell of a leap for a chiding. I have seen a lot of evidence of fraud I don’t need Mike, or you, to lecture me on it.

Electronic voting machine vote shaving and changes at both the local and centralized tabulation level have been going on for decades now as well. Bev Harris did the pioneering work on it and it has been covered on 60 Minutes and similar shows over the years.

The Dems clearly took an “all of the above” approach to getting the swing states swung.

But I agree there appear to have been some infiltrators and hangers on trying to poison the information on it, as well as the usual suspects closer to the president trying to keep legit challenges underfunded and squelched.

Funny, all these critics, yet no one else stepped to the plate and forked over their own money to codify this theft.

Let’s other step up and do a better job — at their own expense.

Give Lindell's experts to Tucker Carlson and his staff, and -- IF THEY WANTED TO -- they could have produced a one hour show that would have convinced millions of skeptics.

As is, "Absolute Proof" is a noble effort, but it will not change many minds. That is the standard here -- does it change minds?

The original plan was to have the evidence Mike presented vetted in multiple courts as part of Sidney Powell’s and Lin Wood’s lawsuits. This was supposed to have been done before the electors were certified so we would end up with an illegitimate regime in power.

For some reason this never happened and everything got kicked up to the SCOTUS. They will probably agree with Mike that that the evidence of fraud is quite good but it should have been brought up when we could do something about it and not disenfranchise all those fictional Biden voters.

Maybe if Mike had hired Jonathan Turley or Alan Dershowitz to do the gig it might have worked better except they were running the other way the last time I looked.

Don't you just love the people who basically say, "I haven't watched it, but I don't believe a bit of the info provided in it"?

People will binge watch 10 hours of the latest netflix show, but will not take the time to watch a video setting out the corruption and fraud in a Presidential election. You can play in it the background as you do housework. It isn't hard!
