The Fraud that Dare Not Speak its Name

The Fraud that Dare Not Speak its Name

Dinesh D'Souza's 2,000 Mules raises forbidden questions.

Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary, 2,000 Mules, raises serious questions about possible skullduggery in the 2020 election, involving absentee ballots across multiple states. But neither the liberal media, nor election officials, nor law enforcement seem to have much interest in investigating that potential wrongdoing. The reaction has largely boiled down to “nothing to see here!” or else to so-called “fact checks” that criticize the technology used to analyze the problems the film documents, rather than actually use the information D’Souza presents to investigate the credibility of the claims being made.

But that is par for the course these days when it comes to potential election fraud, or even proven fraud. A recent article in the Washingtonian says that that the Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database, a national tracking system for potential fraud, is a “highly controversial tactic.” So just tracking and reporting cases where individuals have actually been convicted of election fraud in a court of law, is now “highly controversial.”

The media’s refusal even to address or examine the issue is quite a change from the days when the Miami Herald won a Pulitzer Prize for in-depth investigation of the Miami mayor’s race in 1997. The Herald revealed so much fraud (some of it involving absentee ballots), that the election was overturned by a court.

In 2,000 Mules (in which I am interviewed as an authority on election fraud), D’Souza relates the story of how True the Vote, an election integrity organization based in Texas, obtained and analyzed, at enormous expense, 10 trillion cellphone geo-tracking signals from the final weeks before the 2020 election.

True the Vote was able to isolate specific cell phones that traveled to the locations of the ballot drop boxes that liberals insisted had to be installed because of the COVID-19 epidemic. This was an inadequate reason to implement such an unsecure, unregulated system, so obviously vulnerable to fraud. Even quarantined voters could simply drop their ballot in a mailbox. Yet when these objections were raised at the time, they were ignored.

Of course, lots of ordinary voters did travel to drop boxes to drop off their ballots. Therefore, True the Vote isolated their search to cell phones whose owners appeared to visit more than 10 drop boxes, a very suspicious occurrence for which there does not seem to be a legitimate explanation. These same cell phones repeatedly visited the addresses of the same five or more liberal nonprofit groups, although they are not named or identified in the documentary. Even if geotracking technology cannot yet specify exact locations, these patterns of behavior at least raise questions, especially when combined with video footage of late-night ballot-box visits.

Who were these individuals, the so-called “mules,” and what were they doing? Where did they get these ballots? Why were they repeatedly going to absentee-ballot drop-box locations? Were the ballots legitimately obtained, or were they fraudulent or stolen from voters, or were voters intimidated, pressured, or coerced to hand over their ballots? Who was paying them to engage in this behavior, particularly in states like Arizona where vote trafficking—having third parties pickup and deliver absentee ballots—is against the law?

D’Souza’s analysis indicates that the 2,000 mules were on average visiting 38 drop boxes, sometimes in the middle of the night, and often inserting multiple ballots. True the Vote obtained four million minutes of video surveillance footage, where it existed, of some of the drop boxes. The documentary is able to show who some of these mules were and what they were doing by coordinating the cellphone tracking data with the time they appeared at a drop box and the video surveillance. D’Souza presents one interview in which an anonymous mule confirms that this sort of coordinated fraud does occur at least in some locations.

The broader point here is that the geolocation data provided one layer of intelligence from which to layer on other forms of intelligence (e.g., geolocation data plus surveillance footage) and arrive at an assessment. Some critics argue that this type of data does not show without a doubt whether the phone owner walked to a specific drop box within a few inches. But no triangulation is that precise on its own, hence the necessity for layering—which this movie appears to do. This is, after all, the same type of data used every day by big Internet companies like Google to track our movements for all kinds of purposes, as well as by law enforcement authorities to answer 911 emergency calls made from cell phones.

By estimating the number of ballots stuffed into drop boxes by these mules in several key states like Georgia and Arizona, and corroborating with the video surveillance, D’Souza raises serious questions about the legitimacy of large numbers of votes in those states—enough to affect the final outcome. Are his claims credible?

The only way to answer that question would be to do what only law enforcement, and not a filmmaker, can do: identify the mules using the video footage and geo-tracking data, pull them in before a grand jury or call them in for questioning, and get answers—under oath—to all of the questions this analysis raises. The same goes for the nonprofit organizations that were apparently organizing this conduct.

Of course, enterprising reporters like the Miami Herald crew who helped the newspaper win a Pulitzer Prize could also use the documentary to try to identify and interview some of these mules and the staff at these nonprofits if they really wanted to get at the truth. If we still had a healthy fourth estate in this country, that would be a great job for them. But apparently there isn’t anyone left in mainstream journalism interested in the truth when it comes to election issues—just regime flunkies paid to criticize Dinesh D’Souza, or anyone else who even broaches the topic.

The number of potential crimes that the Clintons engaged in with nothing more than a meaningless impeachment for lying about an affair shows us that the Fourth Estate has been a Fifth Column for decades.

The organization that is behind this is broad and deep. It explains the instantaneous and virulent hatred for DJT that was manifest the moment he came down the escalator to announce his candidacy. There are some big players behind the effort to take down our country.

been that way since the stupid and misguided Walter Cronkite informed us that the Vietnam war was lost when nothing was further from the truth. Feb 27 , 1968.

That election was perhaps the largest criminal act since the senators stabbed Caesar.

Two things: they are a continuing set of data points proving that the MSM refuses to do its job, and there is enough evidence to show that the Clintons are knee-deep in the 2020 steal. After all, Hillary stole the primary from Bernie.

Presumably these 2,000 mules have been IDed via their cellphones. Has anyone tried interviewing them off the record, getting them to open up and reveal who hired them? How the fraud was run? Or was this explained in the movie? (I haven’t seen it.)

Nothing will be done unless we find out who made the call(s) to stop the counting on Nov.3, 2020. It must start there and then things will fall in to place.

Time is running out. Voting records must be retained for 22 months. That means after September 3, nothing can be done.

Where are our allies in the media? Why aren’t they getting to the bottom of the steal? They ALL talk about the many other things going on in our country but most of those things(inflation, invasion etc.) wouldn’t be happening if the election wasn’t stolen.

I haven’t seen it either...and I won’t unless this question is answered - How did they identify the cell phones that were tracked? Did they use cell phone numbers? How did a movie production co. get access to geotracking? and how did they figure out which phones to track?

Too many iffy questions left open, and that’s why it is going nowhere

When you install apps on your phone, you usually click on an “I accept” at the end of an agreement. That allows over 300,000 apps to sell your location to marketers. True the vote bought 10 trillion cell phone pings in select areas for the time frame needed, paid to run algorithms on a super computer to crunch the data. These pings are used in a huge number of criminal cases to place someone at the scene of a crime, and combined with the video of the cell phone owner stuffing ballots from public record state video on drop boxes, it is proof of the crime.

Maybe the answers you’re looking for can be found by watching 2000 Mules!

At least one of the mules turned “whistleblower” and talked to the documentary makers.

Paid $2 million for data; more than a petabyte = 1000 terabytes of data. They used very little but enough to slam the door on those that call the election steal “The Big Lie.”

Which phones to track was answered in the film. Watch it:

True the vote asked and paid for cell phone data... showing the traffic of numerous numbers with computers. Certain numbers kept circling around and they isolated those that were the most egregious.

They mapped through gps the locations of the drop boxes and found they same numbers circling from NGOs to drop boxes.

2000 mules is a good documentary, but slow and needs to show more process. They then synchronized the cell phone to get surveillance video of drop boxes... eureka. Faces to the phones and a lot of ballot stuffing.

I still don’t understand why they would concoct this elaborate, labor-intensive mule scheme when they could just drop the bad ballots in a mail box.
