Dinesh D’Souza Releases 2000 Mules, and the Texas GOP Cries Foul!
The American people would seem to be catching on to the likelihood that the 2020 presidential election may very well have been stolen from Donald Trump by a corrupt corporatist Deep State, in order to reseize formal power over the executive branch of the US government. Recently, Dinesh D’Souza released his documentary, 2000 Mules, which has caused 77% of likely US voters seeing the film to indicate that the movie “strengthened their conviction” that voter fraud happened in the 2020 election. After having studied the Constitutional issues involved, as well as having screened D’Souza’s film, the Texas GOP decided, in June of 2022, to declare the Biden presidency to be “not legitimately elected.”
The Texas GOP platform now states, “We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the US Constitution, that various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in multiple ways.” The first resolution reads, “We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States.”
The Idaho GOP Follows Texas’ Lead
Mark Schwendau reports, in the Independent Sentinel, that the Republican Party of Idaho has also issued a declaration, with respect to the 2020 presidential election, that “Donald Trump won with 64% of the vote in 2020. It is nearly identical to the Texas resolution that was passed in June. . ..” However, reports Schwendau, “Idaho’s resolution goes even further than the Texas resolution in that it holds audits found the vote count for the 2020 election to be fraudulent in both Arizona and Wisconsin.”
2000 Mules
By showing evidence of voter fraud recorded by video cameras at 2020 drop-box locations, 2000 Mules has spurred a tremendous amount of public awareness of the unscrupulous processes instituted by corrupt political entities prior to the 2020 election, along with the actual fraud that was executed as a result of, and in addition to, un-Constitutionally prescribed methodologies. D’Souza’s documentary has inspired much in the way of research by Patriots; and Trump’s comments on Truth Social – where real news is not subject to corporatist censorship – are casting light on the fact that, when it comes to the running of America’s elections, Shakespeare’s famous line from Hamlet is true: “Something is rotten in the State of Denmark.”
Prior to 2000 Mules, the 2020 Election Was Already Repugnant to the Constitution
Trump has always said the election was bad, has never conceded to Biden, and has maintained that the proper thing to do would be for states whose 2020 election rules were not made solely by their state legislatures to decertify their results, since those elections were invalid under Article I, Section 4, Clause One of the Constitution, which states, “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.”
Sidney Powell Says That, Per the Supreme Court, Fraud Vitiates Everything
About a year prior to the release of D’Souza’s damning documentary, Sidney Powell was already declaring that, in 2020, Americans were defrauded out of their choice for president. In an appearance on Brannon Howse Live, Powell cited the Supreme Court’s Throckmorton case: “Fraud vitiates, or disposes of, everything – undoes everything that wrongfully happened as a result of that fraud. For example, if someone defrauds you out of your money, they have to give you your money back. If they defraud you out of your jewelry, they have to give you your jewelry back. They ought to have to give us our president back, because We the People . . . know Trump won.” Powell’s statement was in line with Trump’s claims in Arizona and Ohio about a month later.
Trump Issues Warnings in Arizona and Ohio
At the Turning Point Action rally in Arizona, on July 24, 2021, Trump said, “You know, if somebody robs Tiffany, a beautiful jeweler . . ., and they steal the diamonds, and then they get caught, they have to turn the diamonds back.” During the selfsame rally, Trump stated further, “The radical left Democrat Communist Party rigged and stole the election, and we caught ’em. The time to hold them responsible and fix this broken and corrupt system is not in 2022, where it may be just as corrupt – and if it is, you’re not gonna win – or in 2024; the time is right now, here, in Arizona.” Trump was saying that action needed to be taken to prevent future fraud, but also to beat a path to the proper formal venues for evidence to be submitted to the public to prove that fraud had indeed occurred – since, after all, “we [already] caught ’em.” This warning regarding fraud was worth repeating, so the issue was pressed again in Wellington, Ohio.
The next day, on July 25th, in Wellington, Ohio, Trump again spoke to the issue of fraud, sounding the alarm that the 2020 election had been stolen and that the processes in place in many states were still vulnerable. Trump guilelessly intoned, “This is something that must be fixed, if free and fair elections are ever to take place in America again. I consider it to be the Crime of the Century. . ..” Trump also stated in his personal blog that “[t]he Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!” Many state legislatures heeded Trump’s call to action and began passing legislation to ensure election integrity and avoid Constitutional issues in future elections.
From the summer of 2021 to present, Trump has never stopped talking about election fraud at his rallies. In Anchorage, Alaska, on July 9, 2022, Trump was still saying of the Democrats that “[t]hey systematically violated the law to rig the 2020 election.” Trump’s claims of fraud have continued over time, unabated.
The Red-Pilling of America Is a Process
Having witnessed much of the fraud on video – from Atlanta, Detroit, and from other places, via Rumble – many, including this author, had been hopeful, once upon a time, that arrests for election fraud would occur at the time of Biden’s inauguration, on January 20, 2021. Many a Patriot had reasoned that the inauguration would yield the right opportunity for Trump to spring a trap and arrest the corrupt politicians who would all find themselves gathered together for Biden’s big day. But that eagerly hoped-for event would never occur. Apparently, Trump had opted for a different approach, one that would red-pill Americans by exposing the widespread corruption of the Deep State, thereby awakening the people to the need for extensive action to weed out corruption and infiltration on a national scale. In other words, the people would become active partners in helping Trump to drain the Swamp.
The corrupt DC Swamp had turned out to be too deep and wide – and many of the people were yet too brainwashed by the Big Lies of the corporatist media – for Trump to start arresting people at Biden’s inauguration. Instead, America’s 45th president would choose to rely on the American people to lay the legitimate groundwork for these arrests. Once enough people had awoken from their blue-pill slumbers, indicating that President Trump and the US Constitution both had the support of a supermajority of the citizenry, it would be time for the stolen election to be returned to the American people, along with their duly elected president, Donald Trump. The ultimate proof of a red-pilled, pro-freedom America would be the poll numbers yielded by a successful 2022 election cycle, characterized by the election to office of a tsunami wave of Trump-endorsed, pro-Constitution candidates.
From Blue Pill to Red Pill: The Unclosing of the American Mind
In the 1999 science fiction thriller, The Matrix, Morpheus offers the main character, Neo, the choice to go back to sleep (thereby returning to a state of blissful ignorance) by taking the Blue Pill, or to wake up (thus opening his eyes to sober reality) by taking the Red Pill. Morpheus could be addressing anyone who is plugged into America’s “matrix” of orchestrated media lying, when he says these words to Neo: “Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the Blue Pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want believe. You take the Red Pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. . ..”
Not everybody can be told the truth; indeed, almost everyone must be shown. But no one can be forced to see and accept what is being revealed, without agreeing in advance to open one’s mind to the information being shared. In the America of 2022, many are choosing to turn off the constant blue-pill messaging of the corporatist media with an eye towards red-pilling themselves by conducting their own research. The American preference has traditionally been for the uncomfortable knowledge of self-responsibility that brings maturity and freedom over the blissful ignorance of utter dependency that can only end in infantilization and enslavement.
Speculations: How Trump Could Be Returned to Public Office
If the US Congress were to revert to Republican hands in January of 2023, there would be an opportunity to set in place the legitimate processes by which investigations may be held and arrests may be made, all the while knowing that there would be popular support for such activities. And if enough states were to incline towards decertification of their electoral votes – given the new reality of a legitimate Republican Congress having been elected – there could even be a reconvening of the Congress to recount the electoral votes – there being no Constitutional date by which electoral vote-counting must end. It is also possible that the Supreme Court could hear a challenge to the election, given such circumstances. And, if neither of these occurs, Trump could always be elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, since there is no Constitutional rule requiring the Speaker to be a House member to be elected to that post. (The precise wording of Article I, Section 2, Clause Five, goes like this: “The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers. . ..” Nowhere does this clause specify that the Speaker and the other officers must be members of the House of Representatives.)
Trump’s Information War: Acknowledging That the Truth Requires Time
What Trump must have been aware of, that many Patriots were not thinking about as the Biden Inauguration approached, was the fact that too many people would have seen any arrests made on January 20, 2021, as a corrupt use of presidential power by Trump to remain in office. The people would have been divided by such an act, and the Democrats, the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), the bureaucrats, and the media would simply have done everything in their power to destroy Trump’s second term. Added to all of this, the cheating would have continued upon Trump’s leaving office.
To defeat the Deep State for good, the people would have to be awoken and would have to invest time and energy in righting the situation nationwide, by participating across states in setting up the mechanisms to restore the American Republic and to prevent the corruption by the tyrannical Deep State from returning. An essential component of this Great Awakening would be the realization that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance and that now is the time to reëstablish that ethic. “Everything is a war,” according to Trump, and it is uniting, not dividing, the people that is the objective of Trump’s war. Indeed, it is an information war, and the only way for Trump to win against the fake news media is to unite the people against their lies by exposing the truth. But the truth requires time, for, as Jonathan Swift has written, “Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.”
Trump’s Fight to Unite the People
To win against the globalist Deep State, Trump would need to unify the American people by getting them to work together to uncover corruption and to true the vote by reëstablishing free and fair elections. One important means of doing this has been for the people to pressure their representatives at the state and federal levels to reform the election rules to prevent fraud in the future and to investigate fully the 2020 presidential election to uncover any and all fraud that may have transpired. Another way of uniting people has been the reïnstitution of free speech on social media, allowing the sharing of truth on such platforms as CloutHub, Gab, Gettr, MeWe, and – last but not least – Truth Social. As Trump said at his Turning Point rally in Arizona, in July of 2021, “With your help, we will stand up for democracy and for justice. We will fight for truth, transparency, and accountability. And we will not stop until we have restored our American birthright of honest, free, and fair elections.” Trump’s emphasis is, importantly, on the fact that he depends on the public to help in bringing back justice and restoring the rule of law.
By not making any arrests, and allowing Biden to take office, Trump removed himself from wielding any formal power over the process of exposing the election fraud. It must be the people themselves who discover the criminality of Biden and Company of their own volition; it must be the people themselves who achieve and institute the means necessary to restore America’s free republic.
Trump’s 2016 election was not about simply winning a four-year election; rather, it was about orchestrating a Great Awakening – a Great Red-Pilling – of a supermajority of the people to the criminality that has long been perpetrated against them; it was about getting the people to take a hands-on approach in fighting the infiltration from within – by Chinese agents, by Soros/Zuckerberg operatives, and by Islamic extremists – that has been carried out under the direction of an “invisible enemy” that Trump made reference to in his Arizona speech, when he said of Biden that “he didn’t really campaign, the Cabal campaigned.” With each passing day, the American people are driving the process forward to discover and expose globalist criminality and electoral fraud; as Trump said in his important Turning Point Action speech, “The facts are coming out, the truth is being uncovered, and the Crime of the Century is being fully exposed.”
Trump’s Order to Protect Officers of the Court
On January 18, 2021, prior to his leaving Washington, DC, President Trump had the foresight to issue his “Executive Order on Protecting Law Enforcement Officers, Judges, Prosecutors, And Their Families.” The order protects law-enforcement officers and public prosecutors who risk their lives daily to protect the public, as well as courtroom judges who, along with their families, find themselves under threat by criminal actors. Trump’s order astutely recognizes that “[s]ome who face or have received an adverse judicial decision have sought to intimidate or punish judges and prosecutors with threats of harm. Moreover, judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers are symbols within our communities of law and order and may be targeted for that reason alone.” This order helps protect prosecutors working for the Office of the Special Prosecutor as well as justices of the Supreme Court, all of whom are continuously being threatened by criminals – such as Nicholas Roske – who have no qualms about traveling thousands of miles to attempt to murder an officer of the court.
A Sleeping Giant Has Awoken
It is likely that, after the 118th Congress convenes, on January 3, 2023, the pace of events could quicken, and a great deal of good could occur quite rapidly. One thing is certain: Trump has proven instrumental in rousing a complacent yet freedom-loving people. By unleashing the forces of truth, as well as facilitating the exposition of electoral fraud, the 45th president has done much to “awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve” – the resolve to banish tyranny from, and to restore liberty to, America’s free republic for the benefit of generations to come.

Cambridge Dictionary – Red Pill: Beliefs, choices, or information that allow you to see the world as it really is, even though you would feel safer or happier if you did not. This refers to a scene in the movie The Matrix where a character is offered a choice between a red pill, which reveals the true world, and a blue pill, which keeps it hidden: “Now you are living in reality. It’s not easy. If you hadn’t taken that red pill, you would be so happy returning from the mall with your new $300 jeans.”
Cambridge Dictionary – Blue Pill: Beliefs or choices that make you feel safe and happy, but stop you from seeing how things really are. This refers to a scene in the movie The Matrix where a character is offered a choice between a red pill, which reveals the true world, and a blue pill, which keeps it hidden: “Take the easy way out, choose the blue pill, believe what you want to believe.”
