Mike Lindell's Cyber Fraud Hootenanny Going Exactly As Well As Anticipated




https://www.wonkette.com/mike-lindell-s-cyber-fraud-hootenanny-goes-exactly-as-well-as-anticipated

Mike Lindell is shouting.

It's a lede that could have been written any day in the past two years, of course. But today the pillow fluffer is shouting about CYBERS and P-CAPS and melting down all the RIGGED Dominion voting machines and turning them into jails to do LOCK HER UPS to "Suckabuck" and "Dorky." (Yes, melting down the machines and turning the melted machines into jails, that's what we typed.) Because it's day two of Lindell's three-day "cyber symposium," after which the Supreme Court will vote "9-0" to return Donald Trump to the White House.

Or maybe not.

The day got off to a rocky start when the livestream was delayed. Naturally, Lindell blamed his tech problems on "hackers," as if this crew needs outside help to step on their own dicks "cyberly." Only a couple of hundred people appear to be in the hall in Sioux Falls, but Lindell claims 40 million — roughly one in nine Americans — are tuned into the livestream. Which is par for the course when you're just making up random numbers and pointing to them as proof of a Chinese conspiracy to steal the 2020 election.

Lindell hyped this hoedown with promises he'd release data proving the election was stolen. And indeed he has drawn some serious cybersecurity professionals such as Robert Graham, who livetweeted the event.

His conclusion: "To be clear: he gave us experts NOTHING today, except random garbage that wastes our time (e.g. a CSV needlessly encoded as RTF needlessly encoded as hex)."

I guess he went on TV and sold his pillows by just claiming they were better than any other pillow, so he thought he could sell anything by just bullshitting about it.

“Mr. Lindell’s lead cyber expert, Josh Merritt, told The Washington Times that packet captures are unrecoverable in the data and that the data, as provided, cannot prove a cyberincursion by China."

“ SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The cyber expert on the “red team” hired by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell now says the key data underpinning the theory that China hacked the 2020 election unveiled at the Cyber Symposium is illegitimate.”
