Blasting With Boyles
OPINION
It’s like the old gag on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, what do these things have to do with each other? Galileo, cargo cultists, and My Pillow’s Mike Lindell.
Galileo was placed under house arrest by the Catholic Church for his belief that the earth revolved around the sun. A belief the Church denounced no matter what the evidence was. Cargo cultists arose in New Guinea following World War Two when the remnants of crashed Japanese and American and English airplanes appeared. The cargo cultists believed the wreckage was sent by the gods to help and support them. Mike Lindell and others challenged the results of the November 2020 election even before the race was officially called for Joe Biden. They were throwing around words like “stolen,” “rigged,” and “hoax” despite the fact there was no evidence to support those beliefs.
Mike Lindell
Let’s outline some of those involved. Sydney Powell, aka the kraken, who became Sammy the Bull Gravano, turning herself in to get the best deal. She pled guilty in an election interference case after spreading conspiracy theories about election fraud. Lin Wood, who was Patsy Ramsey’s attorney, say no more. Rudy Giuliani, America’s Mayor who has now been disgraced. And Mike Lindell, whose election conspiracy claims led to him being sued for defamation in a Denver trial in June. Lindell offers the George Costanza defense. In Seinfeld, George Costanza always said to Jerry, “If I believe it, it’s true.” Well, jurors found Lindell did defame Eric Coomer.
Like the cargo cultists, these people cling to their beliefs and look to the skies for the gods to save them. Bloggers, social media influencers, podcasters, talk show hosts, they repeat the false beliefs.
The company I work for, Salem Media is being sued, as well as a talk show host who used to work in the building where I still work. Fox paid off, Newsmax paid off, OAN paid off. Will the company I work for pay off?
These people have caused so much damage to this country, damage that will not be undone in my lifetime.
A hundred years later the Catholic Church apologized to Galileo. When will these people apologize to the country for the harm they have done.
A sad day.
