#2000Mules: Dinesh D’Souza’s new film claims to prove the 2020 election was stolen by stuffing drop-boxes with 817,765 fraudulent votes. But where did these ballots come from? gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
A ballot cannot simply be printed and stuffed into a box: every mail-in ballot is assigned and coded to an individual voter (your vote choice is secret but not the ballot envelope nor the fact you voted). gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
It would have been easy to call the voters whose ballots were supposedly stolen and used to vote without their consent to prove these were fraudulent votes. (Yes, it’s time consuming: Our Georgia investigation required 1,200 phone calls.) gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
Since proving ballots are stolen is easy (though time-consuming) why didn’t D’Souza prove his case? Provide a list of the names on the fraudulent ballots? Because he can’t. #2000MulesMovie gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…

State Senator Doug Mastriano, Donald Trump’s pick in the Republican Primary for Governor of #Pennsylvania, spent thousands to lead a busload of protesters to the January 6 “protest” at the Capitol in Washington. gregpalast.com/two-january-6t…
His chosen running mate for Lt. Governor (PA elects Gov and Lt. Gov separately) is Teddy Daniels. Daniels was also at the January 6th Capitol protests. gregpalast.com/two-january-6t… Image
In 2021, PIF photojournalist @zdroberts filmed Daniels speaking at the Unification Church — made famous by their worship services that include AR-15’s. Here is the wannabe Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania...

#2000Mules: A more accurate name for the film would be “2000 Mailmen” or “2000 Dog Walkers”. I went to several drops-boxes in Georgia while I was covering the 2020 election, so according to D’Souza’s cellphone ping “evidence” I could be one of the mules. gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
#2000Mule is slick. Real slick. With an air of science & hard statistics. They use “geo-tracking”, buying (as anyone can) “pings” from cellphones in 5 cities. D’Souza shows a satellite in space & the damning evidence — photos of Black men casting ballots. gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
They say (but don’t show us) that these Black men, inexplicably, went to drop boxes “on average 23 times”. That’s pretty damning, if true...

But it’s not true.

In D’Souza’s new film, #2000Mules, they have damning evidence caught on camera, but they … just don’t, uh, show it?!? Why not show us at least a couple of film clips of the 27 times they claim a Black “mule" repeated the felonious crime of couriering ballots to a drop-box?
I was so angry at this criminal voter, I wanted to bust him! Expose him. Arrest him. They have his photo, his car, his license plate number. In fact, their “expert” says these ballot mules have, “bad backgrounds, bad reputations…violent guys.” Whoa! gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
So, If D’Souza identifies their “backgrounds,” they must have their names. So why don’t they show us the files? Name the names? Show us their faces? Confront them. Call the cops, the feds!

Courageous #HumanRights lawyer @SDonziger is finally free today, after 6 months of confinement — punishment for winning a $9 billion judgment against Chevron. gregpalast.com/steven-donzige… #FreeDonziger #StevenDonziger #BigOil #Pollution #Environment #Amazon ImageImage
I hope it’s final, because Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, the petroleum industry's black robed Putin, is on a crusade to muzzle the man who exposed Chevron's poisoning of the Amazon.
Let’s get some heat on New York’s corporate senators Gillibrand & Schumer to block the nomination of Chevron Consigliere Jennifer Rearden to the federal bench. And let's flood the White House with the demand that @SDonziger be given the Medal of Freedom.

West Virginia protest calls out #JoeManchin’s dirty coal profits ~ by Palast Investigative Fund fellow @ZDRoberts gregpalast.com/west-virginia-…
The plant the @WV_Rising activists targeted in Grant Town, #WestVirginia, isn’t just any of the over 200 coal power plants still operating in the US. It’s the one where Sen. #JoeManchin makes nearly $500,000 per year selling dirty coal waste called “gob.”
Manchin sells gob (short for “Garbage of Bituminous") for a tidy profit. Activist & retired miner, Michael Whitten says: “When I worked on strip mines, we threw that away..it’s like if you had a wood-burning stove..and you wanted to put wet wood in it—it’s just not economical.”

“This is a corporate criminal prosecution, orchestrated by Chevron, financed by Chevron, carried out by a Chevron law firm, before a Chevron-linked judge. It’s that simple.” ~ @SDonziger #FreeDonziger
“Chevron is trying to criminalize its opponents as a way to get away with the environmental crimes they committed in Ecuador.” ~ @SDonziger #FreeDonziger
