Lindell is an individual whose only success in life is made up of entirely of concocting an informational campaign that allowed him to sell bags of shredded foam as if they contained some special power. This is a great method. Lindell appears to have confused his ability to market polyurethane nuggets in exchange for something that offers him an exclusive perspective of the world. And, most shockingly, Lindell has ascended to the summit of Bullshit Mountain as the man Trump is genuinely counting on to get him back in office, not in 2024, but in August.



Lindell still has an ongoing court case against him. He filed a lawsuit against Smartmatic USA and Dominion Voting Machines on Thursday. It's not a typical lawsuit, since this one has colorful illustrations.



Lindell's lawsuit is an intriguing artifact. A dead rat is an interesting artifact from the Black Death, sort of.



It's not clear if Lindell sought legal counsel to bring his lawsuit. It's absolutely clear that it wasn't required. Because the evidence Lindell gave to the court has the same connection to an actual suit as a couple of clowns in a suit of horses need to Secretariat. Particular-Fact: Simply putting the word "Fact" at the beginning of a sentence doesn't make it an assertion. Even though each of the statements following is at best wild conjecture. These "facts" aren't more accurate if they're placed in the form of a Jenga tower.



Lindell declares Dominion "a state actor" in two "facts" statements. Then he declares the "fact" that he is able to slander Dominion any way he likes. Because it's a state actor. Once it's over, Lindell follows up with the "fact" that he's already established that the election of 2020 was fraudulent. This includes twenty hacks "primarily by Chinese actors that altered the outcome of the presidential race in the 2020 General Election."



Lindell is not just an expert in the art of the "fact statement" however, he also knows how to use legal footnotes. For instance, if he uses the term "Lawfare" in statement, then puts this at the bottom of the page: "Lawsuit Warfare = Lawsuit + Warfare = Lawfare." The statement is accompanied by a Wikipedia link to ensure that it's legal.



The first few pages of this 82-page missive, is dedicated to laying out these details. It takes all the way to page 10 before Lindell steals a title from a Terminator sequel and begins to simply write a stream-of-consciousness play on "The Rise of the Machines." And, of course, it's all there. The way in which votes can be altered by "the algorithm," the way that votes are actually counted on servers in Spain and Germany. Naturally, entire chapters are dedicated to the ways that Smartmatic is a servant of China since it has offices in Taiwan and is "continuing its close relationship with China as a contractor for the Hugo Chavez-controlled government in Venezuela."



Oh, and that section of the lawsuit starts with a the Shakespeare quote. Take that, ordinary lawsuits.



Lindell's crackpotpedia is chockablock with statements that appear to be damning to his highly calibrated eye, for instance, he claims that American Information Systems was founded by "the Urosevich brothers, descendants of Serbian immigrants," that Dominion has an office in Belgrade, and that one Smartmatic engineer was "Venezuelan-born." Evidently in Lindell's eyes anyone who was born, lived, or worked in, or lived outside the United States (or is descended from any person who didn't come out of the American polyurethane-infused soil) is part of a vast international conspiracy.

Just to provide a light example of thread plucking, here's part 52 in Lindell's "rise of the machines" section:



In 2018, Dominion was acquired by an equity-focused private company, Staple Street Capital, which is the largest shareholder. David Mark Rubenstein, is co-founder of The Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group is a global investment company with a long-standing history and massive investments in China. In 2020, mere months before the election, Staple Street Capital (owner of Dominion) received an investment of $400 million from UBS Securities, LLC. UBS Securities LLC owns 24.99 percent of UBS Securities Co. LTD, a Chinese investment bank. The remaining 75% of UBS Securities Co. LTD is owned by the Chinese government or other arms of it.



This is a clear evidence ... what again? Lindell returns to it just two paragraphs later to declare that "Chinese government-related entities as well as Chinese technology companies had ownership either direct or indirect and access to Dominion and Smartmatic's voting machine technology."



Lindell has created Lindell has created a Mulligan stew of conspiracy theories that cover nefarious actions from everyone from China to Space, Germany to Serbia and Venezuela (and that is not an exhaustive list), but he also insists this conspiracy was reported by the media, which includes the infamous YouTube.



The time span of Lindell's suit once it's disposed of by the court will make mayflies appear like Methuselah and this whole game of Six Degrees of Hugo Chavez should immediately be dismissed as absurd. Yet, here's where we are. Mike Lindell isn’t just filing absurd suits to defend a web of lies. He's also creating an entirely new scam from his money-making flimsy fortune.



The image of Lindell who is a third-tier scam artist and lounge singer who has lost his mustache is both funny and pathetic. It's a scam, however. that's not just about moving the jars of patent medicine, or lumpy sleep spoilers.



A party that worships Donald Trump is a party that, by definition is owned by fraudsters. This scam has a lot of victims and not just the Republican Party.
