Last night I watched the Dinesh D'Souza documentary 2000 Mules and was quite impressed with it.
From an integrity perspective, I think the True The Vote team did the right thing, setting the bar for judging movements of mules engaged in illegal actions very high (Criteria: A person had to have visited 10 ballot drop boxes as well as at least the location of a single non-profit stash house) and showing even that high bar would have changed the election. If they lowered the bar to say, fewer drop boxes visited, the election was a Trump rout of Biden.
I thought it was well produced. Of note to me was the attention to the production sinc conservatives have long come off as comparative amateurs when it comes to addressing people regarding issues from the media/entertainment space, which is no surprise to anyone who pays attention. And this was not only the exception, but hopefully a harbinger of things to come from conservative messaging.
For example, the intro to the documentary with the beat of the music (well chosen) and the CGI, showing a satellite streaking across space, and on the earth far below, appearing and disappearing red circles representing "geofencing" areas where data was purchased from legal commercial providers of cellular tracking information, was very well done.
It was as good as and worthy of any thriller movie produced at a higher budget that I have seen, and was impressive in that respect. (Unfortunately, this is necessary and not fluff. There are too many people who, if not hooked by a mechanism like that, don’t have the attention span to stay tuned, and will switch to something else. Sad but true.)
I also admired he logical presentation of the issue, followed by the various data elements used, layering and time synching the video evidence they obtained, how it affected the election, and ending with where they got the ballots from.
It was compelling to see the videoed reaction from the family of the elderly woman in the nursing home who has been in a mostly unresponsive state for years (according to the family sitting with her) to recount how astonished they were to find she had been voting in elections.
The led the observer along, deliberately explaining things (even some simple things they didn’t need to) which allows a wider distribution of the citizenry to follow along.
What I found in searching in Google, and visiting various links supplied there, is that the Google shaping of query results (Google was deliberately chosen, not some other engine which might return something less biased) to return to the user was very slanted. Google completely buried, obfuscated, and de-prioritized (placed on search result pages further back that might not be visited) results for me.
To anyone paying attention, this in not in the least surprising, though I suspect the vast majority of Google data consumers have no idea the returns on their queries are shaped to conform to Google's own ideological specifications.
What also was not surprising was the articles that came up at the top of the list, from Politifact, The Denver Post, The Mercury News and so on.
But what I was mildly unprepared for was the uniformity of the "rebuttals" in their language and approach, and the flat out boldfaced lies used to "debunk" Dinesh D'Souza's documentary.
In watching the documentary, one cannot deny this election fraud was widespread, targeted at key battleground states, and carried out in nearly the exact same fashion, in the same way, in the same time frame which indicates the efforts were coordinated at some level. (The pattern, repeated verbatim across the key battleground states and expressed the exact same way in the data (Non-Profit pickup points >> mules making rounds >> mules stuffing boxes with small numbers of ballots over time)
What surprised me was the uniformity of the rebuttals, all completely fallacious and having nothing to do with what was shown in the documentary, which is the surprising thing. In reading the rebuttals from various places, the similarity makes one think that not only did the source not view the documentary, but that they willfully ignored obvious and major parts of the documentary such as the key criteria they used to flag the cell phone in motion as being that of a "mule".
The Denver Post and The Mercury News: "Fact-checking “2000 Mules,” the movie alleging ballot fraud" (NOTE: both of these sites use the same AP output on this, but the key points of ignorance are):
Even in my very blue state, we were always asked for our ID when we went to vote, and the poll workers looked us up in The Book. We also presented our voter registration cards, which we were sent prior to every general election.
After Covid, when we went to vote in person and presented our cards, the (very young) people running things just waved their hands in the air and said, “I don’t want to see that!”
They just asked us to say and spell our names.
I guess voter ID is kaput in my district, now...
I live in Massachusetts, and they don’t ask for ID. Figures. It is why I am getting involved in the process. Or trying to.
I am hoping against hope that is the American Voter. I hope. I know it is expecting a lot.
A few years back, I came home early one day after a medical appointment, only to find the street in front of my house crammed with police cars and unmarked police cars.
Needless to say, I was a little concerned, parked my car and asked one of the police officers what was going on. He told me there had been reports of someone climbing over fences, running through backyards, etc. and he was last seen in mine. We went into the back yard, and found footprints in the snow, a piece of paper with phone numbers and names, and the footprints led to the back door of the house across the street from us.
There was a detective knocking at the door, with no answer. The detective was saying that they knew he was in there, just come to the door, they wanted to ask him some questions. Eventually the kid, a tall, lanky black kid came to the door and began talking to the detective.
The detective told him they had these reports, and the tracks in the snow led to the back door of his house, and there were wet, snow covered sneakers outside the back door. The kid said he hadn't left his house all morning, and the sneakers weren't his. Without missing a beat, the detective reached up and put his hand on the back of the kid's neck, and said "Uh huh. If you haven't left your house, why are you sweating like you just ran a marathon?"
Normally, the kid might have blurted out he was exercising or some BS like that, but he was so surprised the blasé detective just exposed him so easily, that he was at a loss for words and they took him downtown.
I am hoping our citizenry, after being exposed to so much blatant and lying fraud by Democrats, the Media and their allies, that when confronted with this, the "I brought those devices on trips to nonprofit offices and drop box rallies and I drove by one drop box up to seven or eight times a day when traveling between my two political offices" excuse that the American voter says "Uh huh." in the same blasé way the detective did.
Politics is the art of telling the big lies. Truth leaves the room once politics enters. Politics is dangerously incompatible with education, medicine, law, engineering, accounting, nutrition, news, and even the weather.
The best short answer if someone brings up the “fact checks” is that these same “fact checkers” said that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
Absolutely!
“Politics is the art of telling the big lies. Truth leaves the room once politics enters. Politics is dangerously incompatible with education, medicine, law, engineering, accounting, nutrition, news, and even the weather.”
We sure agree! I have understood that concept for many years. But I was not aware of the magnitude and outright self-serving and self-dealing by the DC crowd until Trump moved into the office. In other words, how totally blatant the lying! To the point of absolutely insulting our intelligence.
I see the light now :-). When you look in the sky and see the orange ball we call the sun and then the DC swamp rat tells you it is your imagination and is not the sun and that it is really dark outside, then it has moved to an entirely new level.
Think about:
-Trump colluded with the Russians
-Hookers peed on Trump’s Moscow bed
-The Russians are losing the battle in Ukraine
-We need to shut down the economy just for two weeks to flatten the curve
-The vaccines are 100% safe and effective.
This is an incredibly effective psyops campaign supported by every institution in our country. I say effective because a majority of the population buys this crap hook, line, and sinker.
You get the picture.
