Bob Zeidman - My Pillow and Mike Lindell
Oct 23, 2023
As we all know, January 6 2021 was a nightmare day for America. Hordes of Trump supporters stormed the Capital building, seemingly at the instruction of the then President in an attempt to stay in power by any means.
As the dust settled and the invaders were repelled and brought to justice, some voices refused to accept the outcome of the election. One of them was the billionaire CEO of MyPillow, Mike Lindell. As time went by, Lindell held symposiums and conferences in lecture theatres and other venues across the States, protesting he had clear evidence that the 2020 election was indeed rigged. He even claimed to have external hard drives with encrypted data absolutely confirming his claims, although when the disks were examined by a IT Professional, Bob Zeidman, it turned out to contain some corrupted files, a couple of badly maintained Excel spreadsheets some word documents containing gibberish and a not a lot else. Undeterred, Lindell continued his campaign from his self-funded 'best media organisation on the planet' which suffered constant sound loss, vision loss, missed cues and videos which just didn't play. Showing remarkable tenacity, he even attempted to bolster his funds by doing a firesale of MyPillow warehouse and office equipment; it went as well as the rest of the schemes with forklifts fetching a hefty $20 tariff.
Sued by Dominion Voting Systems for hundreds of millions, the withdrawal of many outlets such as WalMart of his product and the spiralling cost of his 'media empire', Lindell has exhausted his own fortune and his line of credit is gone. All to support a former President who is now conspicuously failing to return the favour.
But from where he started, as a broken crack addict, Lindell is a remarkable man in many ways, and his story is one about America; about optimism and making it in the Land of the Free.
Bob Zeidman is an American electrical engineer and inventor. He rose to national attention in the USA after a private arbitration panel in April, 2023 ruled that Zeidman had proved material provided by Mike Lindell was not data from the 2020 presidential election. As such it could not be evidence of Chinese electoral interference. He tells Ed Opperman the story behind the story.
