That was an epic incomprehensible coke-fueled rant. Mike is definitely off the wagon. I award him no points, and may god have mercy on his soul. ---

Funny, I was almost named Barbara Ann, the year before the Beach Boys song became an instant classic. I just hopped over there, with the sound off, and the crawl all featured people named Sarah, which is my given name, and it did include someone dubbed “Sarah QAnon.” ---

I came here to post that same Raw Story item that **Darren\_Garrison** posted several posts above. It includes some rather lengthy quotes from Lindell. That is truly some inchaote, incoherent word salad. Totally unintelligible, beyond even “not even wrong”. I only read about half of it and gave up. I was struck by how similar it is to some of the incomprehensible and reprehensible word salad that Trump Hisself slings around. Is it something in the water? Is it the fluoride rotting their minds? ETA: Yes, like what **dtilque** said just above. ---

Waitwaitwait - from that first article: > [@](#): > > But cyber expert Josh Merritt, who is on the team hired by Mr. Lindell to interrogate the data for the symposium, told The Washington Times that packet captures are unrecoverable in the data and that the data, as provided, cannot prove a cyber incursion by China. Any chance that’s [the same Josh Merritt](https://www.businessinsider.com/sidney-powells-secret-source-spider-is-actually-an-it-consultant-2020-12?r=US&IR=T) that Sidney Powell claimed was an “intelligence expert” in her court case in Michigan, and who turned out to have flunked out of the basic MI training program? ---

_The Daily Beast_ says so in their article about the article. > **[MyPillow Guy’s ‘Cyber Expert’ Admits They Have No Proof of Election Hack](https://www.thedailybeast.com/mypillow-guy-mike-lindells-cyber-expert-admits-they-have-no-proof-of-election-hack)** > > The $5 million that Mike Lindell offered to any symposium attendee who could disprove his theory that China stole the election is now off the table. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > told The Washington Times that packet captures are unrecoverable in the data and that the data, as provided, cannot prove a cyber incursion by China. Are you kidding? That is _exactly_ proof! And yeah, I’d be worrying about Mike being back on the hard stuff if he were one of my loved ones. Or maybe in fact he IS not sleeping through the whole thing. ---
