Dinesh D'Souza - '2000 Mules' v.2.0 edited version

[bobabode]

Noted frightwing polemicist, convicted felon and all around lying dirtbag Dinesh had his book version yanked and pulped. The 'corrected' (sanitized version) has hit the stands but there are many of these first edition copies out in the wild.

"After an abrupt recall and a two-month delay - along with the threat of possible legal action - the election denial book 2,000 Mules has reached bookstores, though with a few significant changes.

Most notably, a passage in the recalled version of the book that accused specific, named nonprofit organizations of involvement in illegal "ballot trafficking" has been rewritten, softening certain claims and outright removing the names of the groups. Separately, sections of the book that purported to link election fraud to antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement have also been deleted.

2,000 Mules is based on the film of the same name, which alleges a vast conspiracy between unnamed left-wing nonprofit groups and paid ballot "mules" to stuff vote-by-mail dropboxes and steal the 2020 election. Law enforcement officials and fact-checkers have thoroughly discredited the film's allegations, and the filmmakers have declined to make key evidence for their central claims public.

Nonetheless, 2,000 Mules has remained highly influential in the pro-Trump election denial movement.

And in response to a viewer of the film who wanted to see more evidence, filmmaker and author Dinesh D'Souza said in July that the follow-up book based on 2,000 Mules would name names." NPR

The courts and their libel laws--such a pain! How Dinesh must long for the 'days to come,' when the courts have been reformed to understand who the laws apply to, and who they don't.
